NEED UNION OE FI AVERS WRITER LOCAL BRIEFS MANY SHOW INTEREST IN STATE DEVELOP­ MENT AND PROGRESS That business condition* art not a* bad ax many think was disclosed at a meeting of the State Economic Con­ ference called Tuesday by G overnor A W Norblad at the Multnomah ho­ tel. It wa* pointed out that business generally is good, that tbe stock mar­ ket "catastrophe" did not seriously af­ fect the business situation in Oregon, that credit was somewhat strained by it but not for business: that business inventories were not too high and that nothing has happened to destroy Ore­ gon's great natural sources— her water power—her wealth of raw materials, but that business depression i* due to seasonal instead of year around em­ ployment The Governor advocated the plan­ ning of building programs and manu­ facturing projects to as to spread em­ ployment over the whole year giving steady work to the employee. Ry noon Tuesday figures had been compiled and analized by the depart­ ment of Economics at the University of Oregon and Oregon State College disclosing the fact that Oregon's con- wmctiofl program for the year. t*.ia calls for an expenditure of $94.000,000 These figures were sent in answer to questionaires sent out previously by the Governor to various authentic in­ formation sources such as municipali­ ties, Chambers of Commerce. Public Utilities Companies, Realty Boards and other large business concerns, both public and private These figures repre­ sent only a partial report. “Progress,” s a i d t h e Governor, comes by overcoming problems and we must remove the problem of econ­ omic fear." he advised. He recom­ mended the appointment of a board of competent men representative of the various economic agencies in the State employing labor to consider the ques­ tion. The Gov. urged more farmers to till the soil and the finding of mar­ kets for their produce He said, "There are 13 people to the square mile in \Mashington; 30 in California while Oregon has only 8 to the square mile. A state committee of 200 men was appointed to work out a program in keeping with the purpose and spirit of the conference. The meeting which was presided over by C. C. Colt, vice president of the F’irst National Bank, was well at­ tended by representatives of diverse interests but who, apparently, were of one mind in the desire for improving the economic status of the State of Oregon.
