He will ho taken to Salem in tho morning. $ Meader says that ho Is Innocent, and hopes to return heresomo day hnd prove this. Ho also intimated that the liquor he Is alleged to have stolen was used by others in blind plgglng, following the closing of the .Central bar. Tho following statement was pre pared today by Meader: "I wish to state that 1 hate no hard feelings toward the citizens of Klam ath county who sat on the jury and brought in a ysrdtct of guilty In my case. I must admit myself that there was a pretty strong web of clrcum- Withycombe Is Now Governor (Continued from page I) Unless initiated too drastically, or carried beyond the bounds ot good judgment, steps toward reasonable centralization in no wise merit classi fication as Impractical. The tendency has proved Its worth in actual opera tion. Therefore, I deem it wise to express the opinion that Oregon's leg islature in the future should be guld- ed by the general rule that contrallza lion is desired in tho administration, of stute government. In this connection I think it highly fitting that In several Instances of - flees which are now elective should become nppolntive. The virtues of such a change are centralization of resuonstbility and a shorter ballot.. which, udder our system, are par ticularly deslrablele. Much has been said about the need of economy-legislation directed at the several departments of state govern ment. I heartily concur in the feel- lng that reforms tending toward econ-j omy are desirable instate admlnistra-1 tlon, and no doubt these will receive wise consideration from you. I venture to point to a field of deavor even broader; namely, But en- to county administration. During the last few year of each $100 paid in taxes in an average county about $12.50 has gone to the state and approximately $37.50 to the county. In other words, county administration costs the taxpayer three times as much as state. Un deniably, there are many leaks In county government that well may be checked by adequate legislation, and It is my hope that effort for economy and efficIencyNgill not stop with the state but will proceed to the details ot county affairs. The people of Oregon have decreed by a decisive vote that the liquor traffic shall end in the state after January 1, 1916.

These enactments must neither be so drastic as to bo non-enforceable, nor so las as to be ineffective. In short, your difficult tasK is to devise ways and means for making, and I keeping, Oregon actually a prohibi tion state, so long as the will of the. people shall decree. You are earnestly urged to provide tho governor or whatever official,, upon whom may be placed the respon- ,. ,. ... ., . , slbllity with the means of properly enforcing the prohibition laws .perform this duty adequately. In my 'opinion, it will be necessary to amend the Consitmlon, authorizing him to, .remove delinquent officers. Wise road building is probably tho t best investment that state can under- take, and for Its encouragement I recommend consideration of some plan for the establishment and use ot a larger state fund.
