'TRESSIOX. .
Although .financiers assured every
one this presidential year would In no
. way affect business, It is now a mut
ter of record thut those financier1?
were a trifle wrong In their conclu
sions. Trade conditions liuve been
slowing up for some little Um and
, those who are doing 'business on a
lnrge scale are forced to admit that
the exhibit sheet is fur from being
what it was a year and two years ago
This In not to be taken with a dark
view for Oregon, however, as tho
. crops for the coming season have been
doubly Insured because of the mois
ture and with good crops Oregon will
sot feel the depression. That Js,' tho
country will not. , A period of slow
times .will affect the city. Portland,
for Instance,-is: now overloaded with
people who are not working.' : A great
numbor of them do not want work,' to
le sure, while another per cent will
not leave the city to find vork in tho
country.' Regardless of the cause of
j Idleness It nevertheless exists and
i this means that there are a number oJ
learners for the lifters to care for, n3
Ella Wheeler Wilcox would put U, But
good crops, sane legislation and care
ful management will bring the state
out of any depression that may occur.
HOUSE CLEAXIXG DEMANDED.
.-. Taxpayers leagues are organizing
all over the state and Union county
was among the first. " In every county
the cry against burdensome tax is
heard, and every county Is demanding
a house:cleanlng at Salsra. Ouf state
is costing to much money to maintain
and operate. Our higher schools are
too expensive for the value they five,
and we are loaded down with an ermy
of useless commissioners.,. Let us use
the initiative, it you please, and cut
off about forty of the sixty commis
sions in Oregon. Let us look Into the
state's expenses. Many blame the leg
islature.'. The .legislature - has fceen
some at fault, but not entirely, oh. no
not by any means. , Here is the pro
cedure. When a legislature meets ev
ery institution m me bibib uua u
budget .of, expense made out and with
a lobby: begins log-rolling. The de
mand is for more money, more money.
An average legislature has no concep
tion of what is needed to run the in
sane asylum or any other state Insti
tution and he has no chance to learn
it in the brief time ne is at Salem. A
movement is always 0i at Salem tJ
bewilder the layman,' anyhow, and
see that he does not find out too much.
How many men In Union county could
go Into the state house and find out
any particular bit of Information re
garding stale expense? Very few fo;'
the routine Is complex that unless a
man is onto his Job he will be steered
Into several by-paths and avenues and
finally land without equipping hlmsuirj
with the facts. Let the taxpayers go
deeplyinto -these things, for the poof
fellow who serves in the legislature,
while he lnay have his faults and be
guilty of many things, is ever at the
mercy of superintendents and log-rollers
who -want to have large, 'nppro
nrlatlons made. .The legislature does
' not KpeiidV cent of the state's money,
pxnent the meager salaries. All the
heavy' appropriations are spent
other fellows. Keep this in mind
THE LAW OF WOHK.
gravity;; that It can. be shewn by his
tory that a people who will not won.
will fall to swift decay; and thai
the substance of the law of labor la:
Work and you will reach a higher
mental development; cease work and
you will degenerate. This law ap-
'plies to Individuals, to communities,
to nations and to civilizations.
It Is the law laid down by Capt.
,Jonu Smith to the gentlemen colon
ists of -Virginia: . "Either work ' - or
starve.'; : It is the phrasing of Lowell r
"No ' man is born into this . world
whose work is not born with him." It
is the scriptural command which
thundered through Eden: '"In the
sweat of thy brow thou sholt '. eat
.bread.'' . ' i
Whether the dean's theory that the
different kinds of, work may be an-"
alyzed in accordance with the rela
tive amounts of energizing or ener
vating elements, and then apportion
ed to every' worker in equal amounts i
can ever be worked out, is a problem
But wehn the individual can be ju-
duced to make bis own differentiation
and apportionment, then society will
hear less about the Utopian schemes
of well meaning but poorly balanced
social propagandists. - ; .'''.. .

. The poot Cow per voiced a great
truth when he said:
" Absence of occupation Is not reU,
A mind quite vacant Is a mind dis
tressed.' ,
This fact Is emphasized by Demi
Herman Schneider of the College of
Engineering in 'Cincinnati, when he
differentiates between work , which
either strengthens or enfeebles; eith
er energizes or enervntes the worker,
Tli a dwin snys: ..-.' , -:'
"It Is unquestionable that much of
the present state of industrial unrest
is nature's protest against work with
out light, physical and -mental. It is
tills purely automatic, high pressure
work In closely crowded rooms which
Is the moBt ominous feature of mod
ern Industrialism.'' v vi
'Dean Schneider voices the Bnme tru
ism of Cowper when he says there Is
a great nntural law of labor which
operrUes as surely as the law of
. Barbers' colleges In Missouri must
