COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Member National Editorial Assa
eiatiD and Oregon Stato Editorial
Association.
ax ixsimors measi-re
of the state be deceived into Toting
ror the 5 per cent Interest limitation
inn ai me ovemoer election!
Thift t(X nilpcttnn thot mnnv a man
Is asking his neighbor thece day9.
His neighbor sometimes . answers.
"Pooh! the people of Oregon are
not tools enough to dry up the wells
of their own prosperity."
His neighbor's confidence in the
rOnH lllricnipnt nf hla fallow ottl.Ana
is well founded and It is ineonceiv-
aoie mat they would Intentionally do
anything that would affect the source
of thftip nrftuneHtr hilt If la vara
celvable that they be fooled into tam
pering wnn me source through the
well-intentioned desire to increase
And it is not only possible for them
to enact such a law ns the 5 per cent
Interest bill but it is quite probable
that they will unless they are made
to see very clearly that the title of
the ballot and the false hopes and
promises it inspires are as a will-o
wisp that will luro them into bogs
and quagmires.
The measure seemingly promise
that no borrower will bare to pay
more than 5 per cent interest for
his money. Such a promise appeals
to all of us. But, unfortunately,
there are economic laws which can
not be set aside by legislation and
these economic laws would interfeie
to prevent us getting the boon we
voted ourselves. Tho law of supply
and demand affects the money market
just as it does the fish market, the
fruit market or the gfcin market. If
money can be loaned in Washington,
in Idaho or In California for seven
arid eight per cent, there will be none
offored in Oregon where five per cent
is the limit allowed by law. The Unit
ed States government itself, backed
by the biggest security in the world,
is paying 6 per cent for money now
and only a fool would expect condi
tions where the little borrower coula
borrow for less.
The net result of the $ per cent
bill, if passed, woul be to paralyse
Industry, cripple business, stagnate
commercial activities, handicap farm
ers and everyone else dependent up
on borrowed capital and impose idle
ness upon many laDorers through the
shutting down or impairment of in
dustries. And all this without ac
complishing the alleged purpose of
the bill.

THE MISAPPLIED EPITHETS OF
COVER N OP. CO.X
Is James M. Cot of Ohio really
friendly to Woodrow Wilson of New
Jersey, whom he hopes to succeed
as president of the United States?
If he was, would he speak of the
president as "the stricken man in the
White House"?
Was it "a stricken man" who turn
ed Robert Lansing neck and heels
out of the state department because
the secretary of state tried to prevent
the public from thinking that the
president might in fact be disabled
from discharging the duties of his o
fice? Is it "a stricken man" who has
been sending messages to congresH.
making important nominations to of
fice and issuing political statements
to the public to induce them to sup
port Governor Cox for president?
Such a suggestion, coming from
such a source. Is a remarkable Inci
dent even In Governor Cox's remark
able campaign.
Governor Cox has made another
mistake of a kinjired nature.
He calls Colonel Theodore Roose
velt, the son of President Theodore
Roosevelt, "a misguided youth."
This epithet, if used ct all. should
be applied to quite a different Roose
velt, namely. Franklin Delano Roose
velt, the Tammany candldcte for
vice-president on the sme ticket with
Governor Cox. Indeed, the terra
"misguided youth" is capahle of a
wider application and Includes any
young m.-.n or woman who is unwise
enough to think of supporting the
Wilson ticket at the coming election
New York Herald.
A COMMENDABLE MEASURE
The measure which provides for
the election of a county clerk, treas
urer, sheriff and coroner who shall
hold tholr offices for four years, in
stead of two years as now the law
provides, seems to us to be a wise
measure and we are heartily In favor
of it.
If we get good men for these of
fices, and usually we do, there seems
to be no necessity of thoir having to
run for office each two years. Ordi
narily, and it has been the custom in
Columbia county, to give a man two
terms if he has made good the first
term. If he does not make good, the
public has the recall as their weapon
and protection. Looking at the mat
ter from the standpoint of Columbia
county, the Mist would advise its
readers to vote SOS, Yes, which puts
all county officers on the same basis
by making the terms of equal length.
The measure creates no offices,
Thero are some mighty good teach
ers who teach in the rural schools In
fact, most of the rural teachers are
better teachers than those to be
found in city schools. hTey have an
Opportunity to get closer to the real
problems. Many city or town teachers
might bear in mind that a few years
ago they were teaching in tho coun
try, and at that time they didn't mln
niize the work of the country tecn
er. Recr.use one is a teacher in a
city school does not necessarily mean
that he or sho is superior or nioro in
telligent than the one who teaches
the rural school. Common sense is
a great asset in teaching as well cs
other vocations.
The Mist welcomes Rev. S. Darlow
Johnson to St. Helens. It hopes that
his work here will be in keeping with
the excellent record he has estab
lished in other places. However,
none of s shold expect a minister to
accomplish as much by himself as he
could accomplish if he had the co
operation of all citizens who desire
an influence for good. The work of
the minister and the results he can
accomplish, depend to a large extent
on those who wish to see good ac
complished. '
WELL DOXE. GOOI AND FAITH
FlL SERVANT
The Invisible Hand beckoned and
he answered the suiamons. Tho
Master whom be had served so well
and faithfully, called him, and the
soul of W. A. M. Breck went to its
reward.
It was most fitting that in the
midst of his work ho should bo call
ed; that suffering should not end tho
lif9 so well spent, that in an instapt,
he should be called from eirth to
heaven.
Early in life Rev. Breck consecrat
ed his life to God and to the ministra
tions of charity, lovo rnd the teach
ings of those things which make life
brighter and happier and purer. His
big sympathetic heart wxs in his work
and that work was for mankind. He
comforted and helped humanity and
preached true religion.
He has Deen called to his reward.
His eyes are closed, his voice is still
ed, but his good work lives even
though he is gone, The world is bet
ter off because W. A. M. Breck lived;
It Is the loser because he is gone but
his example is before us.
THE HORSE IS NOT DEAD YET
From 1870 to 1919 the number of
horsess In the United States increased
203.3 per cent, showing an average
Increaso for each decade of 25.5 per
cent. These figures indicate that the
horse has as yet shown no signs of
becoming an extinct species.
If a law is passed by the people
saying that the legal interest rate is
5 per cent, we wonder if those who
have money to loan will loan It at
the rate as prescribed by law, or will
they send it to other states where
the interest rate is more. "Self pres
ervation is the first law of nature,"
and no matter what law is made.
money, like any other commodity, is
going to seek the best markets.
.
Tho Colorado state higfiway com
mission is considering a plan for il
luminating the road from Colorado
Springs to Denver, a distance of sev
enty-five miles. Up hero in Colum
bia county we will bo satisfied with a
good road bed and a durable maca
dam top dressing, and if some of the
roads don't soon get It, they should
be Illuminated for safety's Bake.
A poor road means poverty for the
people it serves. In many Columbia
county sections, the people have
learned this and are Insistent for
good roads.
