Header, Sentenced to
Prison, Says, "lies"
Charles Meader, the one-legged
cook who was convicted Saturday ot
burglarising tho basement of the Ta
bor saloon, and stealing liquor there
from, was this morning given an in
iletermlte sentence of from tw o to fivo
years' Imprisonment in tho state peni
tentiary. 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. They have Imposed I

"I also wish to say that thero was
no time during my statement before
tho grand jury or during my trial
while I was on the stand that I did '
not speak the truth. Convict that I
now am, 1 would rather have my body i
garbed and my name stained as such, (
than to have my conscience bother,
me, and have my soul stained, as ,
some of the witnesses who testified
Against mo will.
"I do not claim to bo a strong .
Christian. Hut I do believe that any
person who will get on tho stand and ;
knowingly, willingly and untruthfully
glvo evidence that condemns an In
nocent life to prison In no better In
the eyes ot God than Is a murderer."
Meader also wrote a number of let
ters today to various witnesses in the
case, stating that he held no hard .
feelings againn thorn, and forgave (
them. ;
upon you the obligation ot putting
prohibition In effect, and it becomes
your duty to provide laws that will
actually prohibit the sale and barter
of intoxicants.
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. I suggest a
.one - half mill state tax, the combined'
revenue of It and the existing (or
lmnroredl graduated motor vehicle
lmproeai grauuaiea raoiur temcie
tax to bo expended" from the state
treasury In cooperation witli the vari-1
ous counties for trunk roads within ,
.their boundaries, their construction
,io ue unaer state supervision.

agricultural development. Among
the most vital problems of this In-
dustry are better roads and cheaper
money.
Our national congress apparently
may fail to enact rural credit legis
lation, and it Is recommended that
this legislature memorialize congress
to take action on rural credit banking
laws at the earliest practical moment,
(n the meantime, I suggest that ef-
-
fort be made to evolve a rational state
