Sacramento, Cal., May 21. Gover
nor Johnson this morning issued a
statement that he has directed the
state attorney general to proceed to
San Diego "that justice may be done
that the law may be Inforced, and thut
a solution of the problem confronting
San Diego may be found."
Commenting on hla order, Gover
norJohnson today said to the United
Press:
"Fr!rn all over the state have come
to me appeals to Investlgare the San
Diego situation, and these were, in
most instances, from others than the
I.'W. W.'s. I asked Mr. Harris Welti
stock If he would not, In behalf of the
state, go to San Diego and ascertain
the truth. I know Mr. Welnstock to
be cool and calm and Judlciaf In tem
perment with a rare agility" and cour
age. He accepted the mission and
without compensation, went In behalf
of the state of California to San Diego
Investigated In his usual careful, pain
taking and just fashion, and made the
report which has been published.
"The problem presented is more
than local. The same difficulties
that beset San Diego from the I. W.
W.'s may come to any community In
lite state In the future, and I wlBhed
to learn the facts concerning the I.
W, W. and Its propaganda, as well
as to investigate the alleged acts of
cruelty and lawlessness In San Diego,
so that we might properly and effect
ively deal with the problem hereafter,
and so that the mistake made In one
community In dealing with the pro!)
'em there should not be repeated
titer communities of the state.
"Beyond this, however anarchistic
the I. W. W.'t might be, no organized
government can tolerate administra
tion of law by vigilantes, or by an
extra-judicial body.
'When Mr. Welnstock went to San
Diego I could not understand why any
right-thinking person should object
to the government of the state ascer
taining the truth concerning alleged
Illegal practices or Injustice, and I
could not understand why a man of
Mr. Welnstock's standing and charac
ter should himself, as well as the
state, be subjected to vllllflcatlon and
abuse while merely endeavoring to In
vestigate the facts. Of -course, for
any official to say that politics- en
tered Into such an Investigation If
worse than silly U Is a demonstra
tion of unfitness.
'8lnce Mr. Welnstock's return vari
ous other matters have been submit
ted to' me, and I am convinced that
Mr, Welnstock's report Is accurate.
Of course, I have no sympathy with
the propaganda of the I .W. W. Or
ganized society or government will be
Impossible If the teachings of that or
ganliatlon be carried Into effect, hut
no organization of society or govern
ment can suffer for one Instant a de
nial of the protection of tho lawB by
any locality to any man. If men be
longing to the I. W. W., or any other
organization, are guilty of Infractions
of the law, punish them; if the laws
are Inadequate to meet the present ex
igency, then gladly will we do any
thing necessary to provide requisite
statutes. - .

CHERRY
FESTIVAL

MANUFACTURERS' EXPOSITION
OF MADE IN OREGON PRODUCTS
HORSE SHOW ON SAME DATE
-ELKS CARNIVAL VISITORS
WILL BE HERE THEN.
At a meeting of the cherry fair
committee held last night, the date
of this year's show was fixed for
July 11, 12 and 13. This Is almost a
veek later than the date usually set
for the holding of the annual exhibi
tion, but on account of the establish
ment of the government pre-coollng
station, which amounts to a cold
storage plant, It Is possible to store
a large quanltlty of cherries. In this
way it will be possible to have all
kinds of cherries on exhibition,
which Is not possible, under other
conditions. Captain Carle Abrams
tendered the committee the use of
the armory for exhibit purpiles,
which offer was formally accepted by
the committee. The Marlon County
Manufacturers' association, will hold
Its first exhibition at the same time
as the cherry fair Is given and It Is
likely that one day will be set aside
for that occasion, the horse show
association will also take part in the
show this year. As soon as all the
committees have been appointed, ac
tive operations .111 begin at once.
Si ace will be allotted In the armory
to the manufacturers' association,
and to the different growers of cher
ries. At the meeting last night S. G. Sar
gent was elected president of the
cherry fair, W. T. Stols was elected
chairman of the general committee,
Robert Paulua was elected secretary,
W. 8. Walton was elected treasurer,
Theo. Roth was elected chairman of
the finance committee, August llnck
esteln was elected chairman of the
concession committee and C. I.. Dick
was elected chairman of the exhibit
committee.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted at last night's meeting ask
ing the co-operation of the Elks'
lodge, the Manufacturers' associa
tion, the Board of Trade, the Busi
ness Men's League, the Automobile
club and all lodges of the city with
a view to making the fair a high suc
cess, the question of holding the
fair so late was done on account of
meeting In Portlsnd of the Elks' Con
vention the first three days of the
week on which the fair Is to be held.
Is expected that a large number of
those attending the convention In
Portland will visit Salem during the
cherry fair, thus a great deal of val
uable advertising will be secured. A
plan it on foot to hold an aviation
meet during the fair, but this matter
has not been fully settled. It was
referred to the concession committee.
Another meeting Is to be held next
Monday evening at which time all the
committees will be announced.

Are to Be Glren an Overhauling.
Carrying into execution an an
nouncement made Beveral weeks ago,
that he Intended turning the limelight
of publicity on every office and depart
ment of the state, and demand that
they justify their existence. Governor
West today Issued a formal declara
tion that, unless the friends of the
Oregon Naval Militia can Justify Its
existence within 30 days, it will be
disbanded.
This Ib but the first blow struck by
the governor In this campaign, and
blow after blow will be delivered In
the next few months to come until
about every official, department and
board and Institution in the state will
be hit. Attendant upon this publicity
campaign there Is destined to be prob
Ings and revelations that will put the
people In closer touch than ever be
fore with the workings of the state,
and the close of It all will work a po
litical upheaval greater than the state
has ever before known.
Under direct jurisdiction and control
of the governor come a number of ap
pointive offices. The ax Is going to
be applied to some 'of them In fact
to every one of which cannot justify
their existence. It Is well-known that
some of them are considered useless
by the governor, and In every such
case the ax will be applied vigorous
ly. Under his direct control come al
so some commissions, and if they can
not justify their existence, it Is a safe
bet that out of existence they will go.
There are In addition dozens of of
fices and Institutions that do not come
within the control of the governor,
and which he cannot remove. He can,
hwever, turn the limelight of public
ity upon them, and If In his opinion,
they are not deserving of existence.
Indict them before the coming legis
lature, and ask for their abolishment.
That he will do so Is certain, and
when the whole campaign, as mapped
ut by the governor, Is carried Into
execution, many an pfflce and Insti
tution will have been l)lt.

ALDERMAN RIGDON WILL ASK
THE PEOPLE TO SUSTAIN HIS
PLAN OF ACQUlRItfTTHE WATER
COMPANY PLANT, BY CONDEM

Desiring to obtain an expression
fi"bm the people as to whether they de
sire to purchase the plant of the Sa
(the Water company, and, In the event
(that they do, whether they desire to
I acquire It by arbitration or condem
nation, Councilman Rlgdon, head of
a committee appointed to negotiate
with the company with relation to the
purchase of the plant, last night asked
(the council for permission to hold a
series of public meetings. .
The water committee, when It first
opened negotiations conferred with
Engineer Thompson, of Seattle, and
had arrangements with him to make
an Inspection of the plant and deter-
mine its valuation. The move did not
.meet with the approval of the com
Ipany, unless It was also given the
right to select sn engineer, and, in the
event the two could not agree, a third
was to be selected by these two to ar
bitrate the subject. - .
The company selected an engineer
by the name of Adams In San Fran
cisco, but this move met the opposi
tion of the council, and, for that mat
ter In the ranks of the water commit
tee, because the company asked that
the result of the arbitration be final
and binding as to both parties, and be-'
cause It was also felt that If the sub-j
Ject was put to a vote of the people
that It would be voted down, and noth-.
Ing but a useless expense would be
the fruit of the whole procedure.
The council then laid plans for con
demnation proceedings," making the
company a flat offer of. $300,000 for
the plant. This the company declines
to accept, and the council, as soon as
It can get an expression from the peo
ple as to whether they want the plant,
and whether they desire to purchase
it by arbitration or through condem
nation, Js now ready to proceed.
This Is to be done through public
meetings. The first will be held
Wednesday evening In the Townsend
hall, In the south ward. It Is the de
sire of the committee to have only
residing In the ward attend, so that
the meeting places may not be over
crowded. Meetings will then he held
In every other ward, and, after the
committee secures an expression of
the people on Hie subject, It will pro
ceed accordingly.
