SHAMEFUL STATE
OF I NSTITUTIONS
TOLD BY FARRELL
Secretary of State in Cham
ber of Commerce Talk
Urges Vote For Funds.
No Oregon resident can right
fully "hold up his head" because
of the shameful overcrowding
and other deplorable conditions
at the various state institutions
said Robert S. Farrcll, secretary
of state, at an open meeting of
the Jackson County Chamber of
Commerce Friday at the Holland
Hotel. Farrell urged his listen
ers to vote for the bill authoriz
ing a tax levy for a state build
ing fund at the special state elec
tion June 22.
Prefacing his remarks by an
explanation of the slate's basic
tax system, Farrcll emphasized
the fact that the money needed
to enlarge and properly equip
the state's institutions is already
on hand but that due to the me
chanics of the state income tax
law and the six per cent limita
tion law, voters must authorize
the special levy which in reality
they will never pay because the
existing income tax money off
sets it.
Program Explained
Explaining the contemplated
building program, Farrell said
that it would be in the nature of
a post-war program and would
include new buildings needed
for the state's educational insti
tutions as well as new buildings
and enlargements for such insti
tutions as the state hospital, the
state schools for boys and girls
and the Fairview home for men
tally deficient, persons.
Making an example of the
boys' training school, the state
official declared that this is so
overcrowded that boys can be
admitted only when an equal
number are discharged. The
state hospital for the insane has
200 more patients than it was
built to accommodate, and pa
tients even sleep in the halls,
Farrell said. Fairview has 100
more than it should be required
to care for and a large wailing
list, he added. "In Oregon we
don't think how much can we
do for these unfortunate wards
of the slate," he said, "but how
little we can do for them."
No Boondoggling
Farrcll further explained how
the ten million dollar building
fund would be administrated and
assured his audience that there
would bo "no boondoggling."
Previously the state officer had
declared that he believed federal
funds should be used for only
two types of projects, highways

and forest programs, and that
otherwise the state would be self-
sufficient.
The state now has a fund of
$15,625,221, Farrell said, of
which five million has been set
aside "for a rainy day" and ten
million of which is surplus and
cannot be spent without authori
zation by the voters, which is
asked in the special election. "In
order to use this surplus, the vot
ers must vote a ten mill levy on
real properly, five mills this
year and five next year," he ex
plained. "The tax commission
will levy the tax and then the in
come tax surplus may be used to
wipe the tax out. The legislature
cannot authorize the use of the
income surplus because of the
six per cent limitation law. This
levy wjll be merely the mechan
ical device for making use of the
existing money. You are not
voting additional tax collections
on your property."
Development Reviewed
The state official opened his
talk by reviewing state develop
ment phases, speaking of a tim
ber program in the Scappoose
district, of the land "blocking"
program in the Malheur county
area, of oil and natural gas de
velopment projects near Clat
skanie and of the Coos Bay coal
operations.
Farrell was Introduced by
Herb Crey, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, who also
introduced Harry Sclienk, assist
ant secretary of state, Clarence
Ellis, manager of the department
of financial responsibility, who
accompanied Farrcll here, and
other visitors from all parts of
the valley.
Preceding Far-roll's talk vari

men reported on current proj
ects and problems.

Riversides' higher quality. Pictured here

slightest damage to the tire)
Laboratory and road tests, alike, prove that River
sides are now even stronger than pre-war first -quality
Riversides! Every ply is stronger, because each
cord is stronger to begin with; then chemically
strengthened to afay stronger longer! But that only
half-explains Riversides' greater strength! The cords
are next immersed in a "bonding" solution that
"iveds" them together! In the final operation, the
cords are cushioned between two layers of rubber.
The result: a STRONGER ply, which is further
strengthened when it is cemented to other plies of
similar-strength to make a safe "tire-body." In
Riversides, every precaution is taken to provide pro
tection against separation and blowouts!
that's why we say MORE MILES-OF-SAFETY
