All right. of republication or special oispaicues neieia Tuesday, January 13, 1931 The Inaugural Address THERE are many outstanding; characteristics about A the inaugural address of Governor Julius Meier. It reveals the new povcrnor as possessing an intimate knowledge of the affairs and needs of Oregon. While some of his recommendations are open to study and debate, his program as a whole is highly constructive, and if put into effect will go far in lifting the state up to the plane to which its natural resources entitle it. The address reveals that the new governor has no Idea of straying far afield from the Joseph program. In fact it is characteristic in this respect. The recommen dation to dispense with the public service commission, and for the conservation and strict regulation of the hydro-electric resources of the state, and the building of the Umatilla rapids project as a step toward the pub lic development of water power, are policies which leave no room to doubt that he will hew close to the Joseph line. The new governor has, in fact, accepted the Joseph program in toto, saying: "It was on these same sacred principles that I carried on as an independent candidate for the gov ernorship of the state of Oregon, and I construe my election to this high office by such an avalanche of votes as absolute vindication of the cause for which Senator Joseph so valiantly fought and sacrificed his life, and as an absolute mandate from the people of the state of Oregon to this legis lative assembly to write these principles and poli cies into the fundamental law of the state." That Governor Meier has set a high standard for his administration and that he is thoroughly imbued with a desire to serve the state which he loves is revealed in one of the closing statements of his address which eays: "A state should be as great as its natural resources. Measured by this standard, Oregon should be one of the greatest and most prosperous states in the union, for Oregon has tremendous resources." To The Airport Of Missing Men ANOTHER airplane has sailed into the great unknown in a futile attempt to cross the Atlantic. The Tradewind, piloted by a daring American woman, Mrs. Beryl Hart, and Lieut William S. MacLaren, was this morning more than 48 hours overdue at Horta in the Azores Island and hope was fading toward the vanish ing point that the two would ever appear alive. Unlike previous attempts to span the wide and treacherous Atlantic, the plane piloted by Mrs. Hart and Lieut. MacLaren was carrying a commercial cargo for delivery to the -agents of American firms in Paris. Their's was a daring attempt to demonstrate the feasi bility, or rather the infeasibility of making the oceanic flight with small cargoes. In the light of many previous disastrous attempts to span the Atlantic with unloaded planes, the effort of the daring woman and her companion appears nothing more than foolhardy. Imbued with an ambition to do pome feat heretofore unperformed, they set out from Hampton Roads, Va., on the way to death and their failure to appear affords reason to believe that they did not veer from their course. They have gone to that air port of missing men and women, who in their futile at tempts to cross the dangerous stretch of water set out on the road to death. Bravery is a quality to be admired in any man or woman, but as a part of the makeup of human beings it is no more essential than the quality of discretion. In fact bravery, without discretion is that which constitutes foolhardiness. - Hopkins Broadside Chic go Tribune: No on. In th. recent discussion of th. pro hibition experiment haa Mid mor.

Hi. observation from travel about th. country Is that of every unprejudiced wit ness and he sums up the prac tical result, the fatal economic and political weakness of the system, when he says: "Money which was originally collected In excise on liquor and paid to the nation.) government, plus th. swollen profit of in flated prices on liquor and the further profits of rutting and cheapening th. liquor, has been made available to th. extent of hundreds ot millions of dollars for corruption.

This news broke Into the holiday season with a grim reminder that we are still in Nicaragua. Though they sympathize with the difficulties of the American government, which doesn't want to be in Nic aragua but seems to be compelled to be there, and which might be criticized more than it is now if it were not there Instead of some other government, most people will be glad when the time comes when our little war in Nicaragua will be over and our marines can be brought homo to stay.
