Governor Talks In his talk Governor Hat field stressed the importance of the state and the nation re maining "fiscally solvent" and said "we must practice fiscal responsibility as well as preach it." He said that since taking office as governor of Oregon, budget increases have been low and added "just be cause we have money, we don't have to spend it." The governor said that, of course, economy could be carried to the extreme and that no vital services or needs are being neglected, Speaking of 1 e gl s 1 ation which the people of the state believe is desirable, the gov ernor said "when we put pro grams on the books, the funds must be provided." Turning to recent develop ments in the slate, Governor Hatfield spoke of the conver sion of a hospital formerly used for tubercular patients, saying it would be used for cardlolofiy cases. He pointed out that the University of Ore gon Medical school is known for its outstanding work and research in cardiology, spoke of the need for additional cancer study and research and then said "I would rather that we spent more money to lengthen lifo than in finding a means to destroy life, as we do with money for armaments." The governor also spoke about the need to reorganize government, said there is a need for modernization of Oregon's system and explain ed his own plan for this state. One man cannot be expected to supervise 100 bureaus and departments," he declared and said "we cannot get along with horse and buggy govern mental structures in this age." Welfare Load Governor Hatfield spoke with feeling about the heavy welfare load in Oregon and said he believed it is immor al for government to create a situation where people lose the Incentive to solve their own problems and provide for their own needs. He brought the most prolonged applause of the speech when he said I ra tired of having Repub llcaiis mouth words about their fears of a welfare state and then refuse to stand up and be counted. We must put people to work and get them off the welfare rolls. We can not keep people In all the comforts of life while they do nothing. We have compas sion, we do believe we are our brother's keeper, but wc have a warm heart for the working man as well as the one who is not working. Wc arc taking these welfare dol lars out of the working man's pocket. Let's help people to help themselves." In closing, the governor said "The Republican banner Is big enough for all of us" and added that "the control of tho party should be in the hnnris of the people. We can not hitve it In the hands of the few." He said the "guid ing lines" for 1962 should be laid down now, and pledged his "full support" to the party-Federation offices and those who helped to plan the meet ing and day-long program said attendance was almost twice as large as had been Indicat ed by reservations.
