GOVERNOR WITHYCOMBE GIVES BIENNIAL MESSAGE (Continued from page 3 PROPHECIES AND FACTS. Next to airplaining there is perhaps no more uncer tain business than prophesying. Nobody can tell how a prophecy is going to turn out; that is one reason why there are so many prophets the hazard appeals to the human craving for adventure. There are all those prophecies about what the re turning soldiers will do or will not do, and chief among them the oft-repeated statement that the airmen will never consent to come down to earth again, except, as some one has said, "for sleep and gasoline." Now comes a reporter and reports that of the first twenty aviators interviewed m France, not one intends to pursue aviation as a business after the war. Of the other branches of the, armv onlv about one fourth of those interviewed expressed the determination to make any change in their former line of business. This information may be a little disappointing to the seers and pessimistic constructionists, but to the folks ai nome it is pretty gooa news mat tne boy wno is com ing back is the one who went away.; Broadened he will be, sobered, no doubt; but the boy who was glad to get nome "because he could now take his own girl to the movies", is typical of the great majority. , There will be those seeking change, and. changes will be necessary, but tar more necessary is the plain, normal, practical common-sense in the same old every-day rou tine. If everybody holds steadily to that, "whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues they shall cease." The boys as a mass will come back to their families and go to work as usual. sible during incarceration. A law grant ing me prison authorities a free band to dispone of any commodities that may be produced advantageously by the prisoners would undoubtedy tend to ward economy and lower upkeep, as well as toward a better morale among the men. Highways. The present highway code is ffivinir admirable results under the direction of a nonsalaricd commission composed of three men characterizing the highest type of citizenship and business ability. Oregon is at last following a definiiey estabished and sane highway program which should be accorded a full trial without damaging interference. With the federal, state and county funds available for expenditure on road work in this state, it is estimated that employment wi be furnished for approximately 3,800 men during the coming season, a factor which will weigh heavily in counterbalancing the prospect of unemployment resulting irom arter-tne-war conditions. Specifically, I favor the enactment of Consolidation talk has begun in the legislature and it will end in the accomplishment of absolutely nothing just as it always does. If commissions are consolidated it might be necessary to abolish a number of offices and this will never be done in Oregon. As it is at present there are not enough soft political jobs to go around among the "boys," and that is why each succeeding legislature creates a number of new places to meet the growing demand. In considering the bill to appropriate $100,000,000 to feed starving populations in eastern and southern Eu rope, some congressmen have expressed doubt as to whether the American public would sanction such a step, in view of the heavy war .burdens already assumed and the prospect of another war loan in the spring. , They need not have suffered any anxiety on that ac count. Haying put so many billions into the war, the na tion is willing to add a few millions to complete its war. America has not saved Europe to let it starve. lhe money is to be applied "outside of Germany. Our enemies will be taken care of in due time, and they will be expected to pay for what they get. This relief is meant for our friends, the long-oppressed subject popu lations of Russia, Austria and Turkey, who have no rec ognized governments yet established, whose financial re sources are wiped out by war, and who have neither pri vate nor public facilities for making the necessary pur chases. The United States can weir afford to perform this I service for them. If thev are ever able to Dav for the food, very well. If not, we need not worry.

S'lU ExmoU. Tlie state gf.uural and industrial To the Editor: The first case of in fluenza reported to the city health de partraent was by Dr. W. B. Morse on Oct. 10, 1918. The following are the numbers of cases each mouth up to Jan 11,191!): October, 232; November, 96: December, 409; and up to January 11, thero was 419, making a total of 1156 case, reported and registered. In tho Daily Statesman of Jen. 11 Dr, Utter is reported as saying there has been no quarantine in the city up till tue last two week. it is hard to iret under way at first. There was no strict enforcement under the old regime. The facts of tho quarantine are these Dr. 0. B. Miles, the former city health officer, who has held tho position about 11 years, received the rules and regu lations from Dr. Seeley, the state health officer, Saturday, Dec. 23, 1918, and he advised trying tho quarantine rules whieh the state board of health adopted. Dr. Mile, ordered myself to get quar antine sign, printed as a rush order which I did and started to quarantine under the rules we received Monday noon before tho ink was entirely dry. That wa. Dec. 25 and we quarantin ed 431 case, up to Jan. 7, which the quarantine book will prove. Placing an estimate of 150 case, since Jan. 6 would be very large for the present hcclth department to have quarantined and three men have been on the force near ly all the time. The present quarantine system is the same we started and carried through to Jan. 7. ur. utter says there was no strict enforcement. The enforcement was just as strict if not more so than at present as experienced men gave the instruction, before inexperienced help was employed and they were drilled pretty well before going out to work. Bo the new regime has simply follow ed the same rule, and in the same way in regard to quarantining where the regime left off and I have worked three and one-half day. with the new regime trying to help them as best I could with the quarantine nnder the present regulations, which I believe my self amounts to very little. I believe j quarantining tho whole household is the only system. W. L. BRYANT. Former Deputy Health Officer, Washington, Jan. 14. Sailinir "." eral transports from France for th.
