JULIUS L. MEIER,
EX-GOVERNOR, IS
TAKENJY DEATH
(Continued tram Pag one.)
Meier, who had founded In 1867 the
store upon which the family fortune
was built. .
He studied law at the University
of Oregon, graduating In 3895. As a
college graduate he began the life
long friendship which George Joseph
carried to the grave, becoming Jos
eph's partner, a business he carried
on until hla father's death four years
later, when he stepped Into manage
ment of the rapidly growing depart
ment store.
It was only natural that Joseph
should become attorney for the store
and until his death in 1930, Joseph
and Meier were Intimate business
associates.
Although Meier never entered pol
itics until Joseph's sudden death, he
was widely known over Oregon, one
of his earliest achievements being the
calling of a meeting of taxpayers In
1912 which fathered the development
of the scenic Columbia River high
way. Meier was the first president of
the association which pushed forward
that project.
Kept Highway Interest
His interest in the highway con
tinued through his life and he chose
for his home a site overlooking the
wonders of the Columbia gorge and
It was there he died.
He played a part in air commerce
development in the northwest and
led the organization of northwest In
dustrialists to obtain tariff hearings.
Although known chiefly as a depart
ment store owner, Meier was a bank
er, heading the American National
bank, which later was sold to the i
First National bank of Portland. I
Meier's historic campaign for the
governorship was waged against two
prominent Oregon politicians, Phil
Metschan, whom the Republican
party chose as Joseph's successor, and
Ed Bailey, at the time Democratic I
state senator. So successful was his I
fight that Meier entered office with
what at that time, 1930, was the
largest majority ever given a can
didate for the governorship, 80,000.

Plenty of Patterns

auguration. Meier, after first refus
ing to take bis oath from the chief
Justice, proceeded, while the entire
court set at the ceremonies within
close earshot, to make part of bis
inauguration speech a criticism of
the court that Its disbarment of
Joseph was a "stain and a disgrace"
upon the court's record.
In the long memories of veterans
of Oregon politics, it was probably
the most dramatic moment of Its
kind in state history, and as Meier
turned from the rostrum he went
to deal with a legislature, the ma
jority of which was in sympathy
with his program.
The course he marked for the leg
islature was the same as Joseph en
visioned. He recommended that the
public service commission be abol
ished and a department of public
utilities created. The legislature act
ed accordingly.
Repeal of the certificate of neces
sity and convenience act was de
manded end obtained. Municipali
ties should be given the right of
home rule in dealing with utility
regulations and that statute was
enacted. The new governor called for
creation of a hydro-electric commls
sion and it was set up.
Consolidation Favored
He recommended that municipal
ities be given preference over pri
vate groups In application for power
aeve.opment and that was seconded.
He backed consolidation of state
agencies and was given the depart
ment of agriculture and the state
police. Likewise his recommendation
for election of Judges on a non
partisan basis was enacted and at
his Instance the market road mlllage
tax waa repealed.
Cost of maintenance of state wards
in insane hospitals was urged as a
county expense and the legislature
agreed and he obtained continuation
of the income and intangible tax
laws.

The one bitter flgbt came over his
recommendation to make the mem

mission appointive by the governor.
In this he was defeated, the com
missioners being made elective but
In 1935 the legislature, under the
present Martin administration, made
them appointive.
