The Interests Of Oregon For Today And

The Interests Of Oregon For Today And In The Future Must Be Protected From The Grasping Wastrels Of The Land. We Must Respect Another Truism - That Unlimited And Unregulated Growth, Leads Inexorably To A Lowered Quality Of Life.

. . . The Solution Is Not To Toss Youthful Offenders Into Jail Or Prisons. We Long Ago Recognized Alcoholism To Be A Disease, And Abondoned Efforts To Treat Alcoholics Simply By Locking Them Up.

We Who Are Privileged To Be In These Chambers Today Can View The Challenges We Face As Opportunities, Not As Reasons For Despair. We Can Do This Only If We Blend Our Independent Spirits In Terms Of Reverence For The Life And Respect For Nature. Each Of You Might Suggest Different Words, But Our Goal Certainly Is The Same: A Better Oregon.

We Want You To Visit Our State Of Excitement Often. Come Again And Again. But For Heaven's Sake, Don't Move Here To Live. Or If You Do Have To Move In To Live, Don't Tell Any Of Your Neighbors Where You Are Going.
