WASHINGTON, April 13
Thamaa A. Edison,- whose mvaot
lva genius conceived the devices
from whose manufacture have
grown industries valued st fifteen
and a half billion dollars, la re
ceiving his first recognition from
Congress.
A measure prepared at the sug
gestion of Secretary of the Treas
ury Mellon, and already approved
by the house coinage coniuilttee,
has as Its purpose the presentation
to Mr. Edison of a modal com
memorating his achievements. ,
The . measure declares that
"Thomas A. Edison has demon
strated that Inventive genius may
be turned to a better and nobler
purpose than the mere making of
money, and has added more to the
material elements of olvlllsatlon,
by his own Inventions and what
they have suggested to others,
than any other man in the history
of the world."
"ThlB government, under which
Thomas A. Edison was born," It
adds, "and in which for- more than
a generation he has been an educa
tional Institution of the first rank,
by arousing In the minds of young
men some sense of the limitless
possibilities of science, when.' de
voted to the service of man, has at
no time seen tit to formally honor

Oil Industry, by Cooperation, Is
Trying to Solve Its Own Problems,
f Institute President Points Out
By B. W. CLARK ' ';
(President, American Petroleum
- Institute), ,
LOS ANGELES, April 13. The,
oil Industry is engaged in a coop
erative effort to solve Its own prob
lem, and In, my opinion Is entering
a new era.
- Conditions and practices under
which the Industry has been oper
ating have gone, never to return..
New conditions call for the exer
cise of striotly economical opera
tions and are closely allied with
the tremendous strides that have
been made In scientific and techni
cal application. ... .
The industry has at all times
met and supplied the demand for
petroleum products. This demand,
due to the remarkable growth of
the industrial development of the
country, has Increased more than
ten times since the introduction of
the automobile and has more than
doubled since the war. Further
more, the industry was notably
successful in meeting the extraor
dinary demands of war for both
Industrial and military use.
Seventy years ago the oil indus
try was represented by a single
well 69 feet deep producing a few
barrels of oil a day and represent
ing an investment of less than
12,000. Today the industry's equip
ment sud facilities are valued at
$11,000,000,000 and the Industry is
'second only to agrloulture and
the railroads. Nearly 700,000 Wells
have been drilled since 185B.
Improvement in . refining meth
- . ods and the development of the
cracking process has increased the
gasoline output resulting from
treatment of crude oil. New meth
ods of treating natural gas have
resulted in a saving or gasoline
content and the Increase of supply.
Great economies have been ef
fected both In drilling methods
and production operations, some
' outstanding results, being obtained
In proper shut-off and the con
servation of gaa in the structures
underground, ;
'The very rapid development and
application of the air lift prin
ciple to the oil well, by the use of
air or gas, has demonstrated what
research in this direction can ac
complish. It also suggests v the
probability of profitable applica
tion to partially depleted areas at
a time when oil Is needed. - At
such times, and in such areas, we
no doubt will reap the real har
vest from the application of these
improved methods,
The American oil -industry has
not developed along the most
economical lines, due largely to
conditions of land owernshlp out
side the control of the industry.
It has not been able to overcome
the evils of exessive competition,
and unnecessary capital has been
expended In duplication of opera
tion, not only In drilling of closely
spaced wells, but in parallel pipe
lines, neighboring refineries and in
an extravagant multiplication of
service stations..
this is a burden that the indus
try has created largely -by Its own
activity, but the public has had
the advantage at complete and
convenient service and ot low
prices.

That's the startling assertion made
here by Richard
Held as Slayer
Co-, J
firm hold on the popular imagina
tion as to force men to watch what
he is doing and hear what he Is
saying."
Rep. Randolph Perkins ot New
Jersey, chairman ot the house coin
age committee, in commending the
measure to the members said that
Edison had applied tor 1,328 pat
ents and that the onetary value ot
the industries based upon big In
ventions, or what had been ma
terially stimulated by his Inven
tions, was estimated at 115.599,0110,
000. These he divided as follows:
Moving pictures, 11.850,000,000;
telephones, 11,000,000,000; electric
railways, (6,500,000,000; electric

The medal was suggested by
Secretary Mellon when the com
mittee referred one ot the various
proposals for medals to the treas
ury department early tills session.
"If you are so anxious to give
medals,'' the secretary told the
clerk ot the oommlttee, "why don't
you lBBtie one for Edison?"
Weekly Foreign News Review
(Auoclited froa Uucd Wire)
Three premiers of Europe
Poincaire of France, Baldwin of
Great Britain and Mussolini of
Italy were prominent in the big
gest news that Easter week
brought to the world from foreign
capitals.
M. Potnoalre announced that a
revision ot Germany's reparations
would be aooeptable o Franoe,
such as would permit Germany to
put her bonds guaranteeing repara
tion payments under the DaweB
plan on the market, so - that the
money thus raised would pay oft
the war debts mi arouud.
Stanley Baldwin announced . in
the House of Commons removal ot
the restrictions on the export o,
rubber from Malaya and Geylon,
Abolition of the restrictions will
come on November 1 next, and
will thus meet the contention in
the United States that no such
restriction should have been en
dured so long.
Italy Wants to Expand
. Benito Mussolini, wltB a sudden
ness that surprised even his own
Fascists, proceeded to Milan,
where he had long conferences
with Turkey's foreign . minister.:
and the Greek foreign minister.
He is also down for a talk with the
head of the Polish foreign otrlce
and these conversations have been
the subject of much speculation.
Italy Is reaching out tor expan
sion of trade. She wants moro op
portunities In Africa, and In Tur
key and Russia, and as the Italian
premier's movements are usually
of much moment to the world at
large, and other' powers are report
ed to be watching events In Milan
closely, with a. conference of the
little entente nationB, Rumania,
Jugo Slavla and Csecho-olovakia,
In prospect to conBider what new
polioy Mussolini may have In
mind. ..; ...
Routine Business" .
Along with Polncalre's repara
tlons speech, came news' thnt 8.
Parker Gilbert, ageut-Keneral tor
reparation payments, had gone to
Home from Paris, and was In con
ference, tor a long time with the
Italian finance minister, Count
Volpi. Mr. Gilbert himself said
that he was engaged In merely
"routine business," but this rou
tine Is believed to have to do with
some new form of reparation set
tlement The German flnauce mm
lster, Dr. Helnrlch Koehler, who
also is in Rome, was said to be
mere merely in "religious retreat.
and thus far has had nothing to do
with negotiations regarding the
war debta.
Great Britain met Egypt's rejec
tion ot the Anglo-Egypllau treaty
and premier Nahas Pasha's de
mand tnat Egypt have full and
complete Independence, with the
blunt reply that the welfare ana
integrity of Egypt was necessary
to the peace and , safety - ot the
British empire and would be main
tained.
Commandant Fltimaunce, Irish
Free State alt service, has K
with the German aviators, Captain
Koehl and Baron von Huenefeld
who are anxious to fly the Junk-
era plane, Bremen, across the seas
to Amorloa. Fltzmaurloe will take
the place of Arthur Bplndler, who
flew with Koehl and Huenefeld
from Berlin to Baldonnel, near
Dublin, where the German plane
remains ready for the take-off.
Spludler gave up the Job after an
argument with von Huenefeld,
and returned to Germany.
The church and state have let
their duicrences quiet down -over
the education ot Italian youth. The
pope's recent speech before the
diocesan, board ot Rome, which
took Issue with the Fascist govern
ment in Its control of youth, spirit
ual as well as physical, was ex
plained by the official organ ot the
Vatican, OHServatore . Romano, aa
meaning that the church was
merely seeking cooperation with
the Btato in the development ot
of Italian manhood.

Oregon Cooperatives '
Oregon cooperative farmers havo
good cause for gratification at tlio
reports ot their association pre
sented at the session of die Ore
gon Cooperative council at uiugene.
Cooperatives have increased In
number and in momborship, espe
cially during the last four yearn,
until their sales In 1027 exceeded
$10,000,01)0, and growers of more
products have been organized,
That systom of mnrkotlug suc
ceeds and is well estubllslied. It
remalnB to make It grow. Markets
for the principal products ot tbe
soil ot Oregon are so distant, (lie
crop ol each grower Is so Insignifi
cant a part of the eutiro supply
and the competition of other statuB
is so active tnat cooperative mar
keting is essential to a fair price
free from excessive deduction for
cost of marketing. Large volume
under single control gives power
to make prices and power to re
duce cost. Sucli power Is used In
the big business of manufacture.
It can be acquired by furmers aud
fruitgrowers (or salo of their
products, and cooperation is tlio
proved method.
In order to endure, a great coop
erative controlling the bulk of an
entire stale's product of a certain
commodity cannot be built sudden
ly. If it should grow up In a night,
like a gourd, it will wither as
quickly. It must begin Willi the
neighborhood, extend to the dis
trict, then to the county, then to
the state and when well estab
lished there Is ready to combine
with those ofjjjther states. Oregon
prtino growers attnmpted an afiso
clatfon which should control nine
tenths of the crop and failed. Tnny
havo now wisely returned to tho
slow hut sure method of establish
ing more local units and federating
these In districts with a view to
ultimate expansion over tho wbolo
state.
Mstiict associations of growers
or apples, other fruits, vegetables,
poultry are so well established
that they should be ready to Join
forces with others dealing in tile
same commodities, ineroby to in
crease their power and to rxnn'
their markets. With membership
in eight states and Alaska the
wool growers have attained tbla
position, for their association's
grades are recognized, It has Its
own, terminal warehouses on both
Pacific and Atlantlo coasts and it
sells direct to tho woolen manu
facturer by grade. QrowerB of Ore
gon 'apples, prunes, peara, cherries,
berries, nuts, eggs Biiould profit
by that success, as they can by
combining' In central bodies. '
Advance to large-Bcale organisa
tion has become practically com
pulsory since the dealers have
formed p. large national associa
tion for the' purpose ot combating
cooperatives. Disconnected district
cooperatives cannot expect 10 cupe
with a body ot sucn strength. They
can gain the necessary -strength
only by combining, by recruiting
their membership to the possible
limit and by conducting their busi
ness on a blg-huBlness scale by
blg-buslncss methods. War by the
doalors may prove a ' bloHslng to
them If It should force district as
sociations to unload prima donna
managerB who obstruct federation
and It It should causo them to
fortify the weak spots and lo open
an aggressive campaign. Tlio re
cent decision of the federal su
preme court favors such a policy,
for members can bo held to con
tracts, and dealers will take grave
risk If they Induce members to
Jump contracts. Portland Ore

There Is something particularly
beautiful In tno, great-hearted
Bympnthy of "Mother" Schumann,
llolnk, who has given to her loved
soldier boys hor magnificent es
tate near Han Diego, to bo used as
a home for disabled votorsns.
l)y the Inhuman chance of war,
Schumannllelnk lost ono son In
the German army and another who
fought with the Americans on Iho
side ot tho allies.
That double ioss, so strangely In-
conBltttent as It Ik, gives added
poignancy to her grief, a grief that
might easily have embittered a
less generous, and noble heart. To
Madame Hchumann-lleinK, wno
has long measured other heart
depths by tho contagion ot her
smllo and the rk-h music of her
matchlens voice, sorrow has
brought only a hotter understand
ing and a deeper sympathy.
She Is "Mother" to thousands
and there can he no doubt that she
values thsl desr title far above
any applause that the world has
rendered her as an artist. In giv
ing her boys this great estate, she
but enjoys a molher's privilege
and we feel that It Is quite as ap
propriate to congratulate her that
she had the gift to giro as to con
gratulate the war's unfortunates
who receive 11.
Bitch a gracious benefaction,
dedlraled to the soldiers of Ameri
ca by Iho mother of a dead Gor
man soldier, proves again the fu
tile tolly at an enmity, that, would
divide two, peoples who sing the
same songs, worship the same Ood
