Gov. Lowdeii
J In the Eugene Register we note that Oregon has 80,000
acres in corn tiiis year with an indicated crop of 2,762,000
bushels. Goodness gracious! A few years more and the
Iowa Corn Song will be adopted as the Oregon anthem.
Some Oregon papers urge a pay-as-we-go polity for high
way construction in the future. Yet Oregon would be famed
for terrible roads instead of wonderful roads if she had fol
lowed that policy from the first If it was good business to
build roads with bond money, within reason, in the first place,
it's good business to complete the system the same way.
'Paying as you go" sounds fine but American business
-would be in chaos if it established that policy. There arc
itimes wJu?n credit is soundest economy. The difference be
tween traveling over good roads and over bad roads, accord
ing to engineering tests, will more than pay the interest and
principal for construction. "Pay as you go" when applied to
the road program is a silly, political slogan that has no econ
omical justification.
KUUENti pa;kant pays a phofit
Speaking of what community faith and enthusiasm will
do toward building and prospering that community, the re
port from the manager of the Eugene "Knd of the Trail Pa
geant" and celebration shows a cash profit of over five thou
sand dollars and property on hand worth over two thousand,
that's a mark for any city to shoot at when undertaking
some civic cveni 01 spectacular character.
Ordinarily community pageants manage to produce a nice
big deficit that servos to discourage all future effort in that
direction. Once in a while there is an exception and one is
moved to inquire what qualities make the exception possible.
The Observer knows of three community pageants that
proved financially successful, a dozen or more that were dis
tinct flops.
In the case of each success it is recorded that the entire
community was thoroughly enthused over the event and took
part from the beginning to the end with tireless energy. In
each case the utmost care was taken to see that the produc
tion had both a reason and an appealthat it wasn't the pet
of some promotor who was more interested in a commission
Hum in a pleased public. The failures are found where only
half of the community has been sold on the idea and where
inadequate preparations and financial benefit destroy what
little merit the production may have.
At Kugene the recent pageant and celebration was the most
important event in many years. Everybody put a shoulder
to the wheel. All organizations were enthusiastically active.
Many prominent citizens took part. Because it was of pioneer
character they wanted to make it thoroughly realistic and
grew beards and long hair - at least the male characters did
to provide appropriate scenery.
The sole idea was to do something of artistic and historic
importance and to advertise the city of Kugene to the rest of
the world. They didn't expect to make a profit, rather ex
pected the opposite. Hut they could not produce a historic
event of such artistic excellence without making thousands
f people glad to pay a fair admission price. So the profit
was a natural result. And now the city has an encouraging
nest egg for the next pageant three or five years from now.
And it has provided an example by which other communities
of the slate can profit in the future.

Former Governor of Illinois
Of nil t lie iiiHtitiitions of men liwotving hiiiwin relnl innstiip and pre
senting KTle.xiii problem, overiiinetit perlmps nt;iml foremost. From the
liiys of Arntoile pofiticnl philosophers luive ilisetisiteil the rotative merits of
moitamiiea, a risioc nicies mm m nncninea. wur on n
liitliers, erilleil upon lo establish 11 new form of govern
ment in ii nc.v worhl, hml before tlicrn nil this ncennui
Inted ivisilorn nnd, besides, the. expericnec of mnnkintl
since Hie dnwn of civitint ion. They set up, ns Lincoln
phr.isi'd it, government of Ilic people, by t ho people
uid for the people." They '-resiled in the light of nil
history ti representative lepublie. During the nineteenth
criiliiry no one nroso to dispute the wisdom of the
fnt hers ns (o the form of government whirh they hud
iMtdbiished. Controversy might rnge nbnnt the proper
oust ruction of our basic law, but no one denied the
wilollty of ih t'lind.'Hiieiital principle of the new govern
meat. Whnlever diffvrenees of opinion prevailed in
uMier realms of thought, it was taken for granted by all
that popular government would remain n heritage for
ever to thoe who should eome after them. Here, at
least, was (iolid roek upon which future civilization
should rest. It neemed, too, to the profouudest students and statesmen of
the time that all the world was drifting towards hi ideal.
We lire admoiiiilod now, however, by the swift 'torrent of events in the
old world, that Keli'-goveiiuneiit, if it is lo endure, must discharge success
fully the increasing .burdens which are bring laid upon it. Government, loo,
must employ nil the resources of the social sciences.
Government all the time becomes more complex. Many men regret
the loss ol simplicity of earlier days in government jus! as they regret the
loss of simplicity in other affairs of men. They dream of a return to the
simpler times, but thrv dream in vain. A growing complexity in nil the
affnirs of men has always gone with nn advancing civilization. The moment
men first applied the principle of division of labor, that moment ihey set
out on a path marked by an ever growing complexity in human relations
As science is largely responsible for this gruwiii'j complexity in affairs, so
science alone can enable us to so order (his complexity that it can bo dealt
with effectively. To meet the demands of this increasing, complexity we
ont.Ht enlist nil the aid nliich science kin to give. As your own President,
in an addiess delivered before the American Political Science Association, ot ,
Columbus, in June, li'-'i, said: ,
"Tit1 application of scientific method lo the natural sciences
has revolutionized I lie world. It has made possible a material pro
gress ttiat is appalling. It has produced (tower creating forces tlmt
have ceived humanity with prodigality in times of pence, nnd threat '
ened the very civilization that created it in times of war. The in
dustrial revolution has brought magnificent progress ami mighty
problems. It Ins yielded marvelous prosperity and profound per
plexitres. It is lhe:e problems nnd perplexities that now menace,
our institutions. The power controlling sciences must supplement
(he power creating sciences if civiliz.nl ion :s to endure. It was the
application of s'-ietitific melnl to material forces that produced
our mightiest problem nnd it is only through the application of the,
same scientific method to the problems of our political and iiifti
tulioniil life that our. democracy can survive. Wo must be as scien
tific in the solution a.s we have been in the creation of our prob
lems," I know no better illustration 4f this truth than t tin t contained hi n
recent address of Mr. Charles II. Mayo:
"Medicine," he says, "lias a nstly wider field than it had a gen
eration ago. Its very triumphs have brought it new difficulties and j
further obligations. With the aid of the scientists, medicine has sue-
ceeded in upsetting the law n whirh evolution has depended for , j
t ho progress of living creature;; now I he unfit survive.- However !
much we may glorv in the triumph of humanitarian principles, and
ho'.vever impossible it is for niedic'ne to travel any other road, wo
must not close our evvs to the evil of proleMiug nnd perpetuating
the physically and menially unfit. In thirty years the proportion of
insane in our counii v has d-mlikd. The nnnnllini' figures show nil
clearly that diminish'."!; moitality entails an increase in mentaf in-'
hlnbility and criminalism. Out of the impossible situation which
we are fast approaching, the uorhl must be led by medicine, since
nations decay and disintegrate from within."
It is a hooefid si';ii of the times th.it poIii-:il science especially
now concerning il-elt u,ih the actual fa Is in government. It is substituting
the laboratory method for a jniori speculnt ion. It in finding more and more
its close relation to the oilier sciences. A conference of the new school of
political science is not complete unless there are present (iNo students of the
other social scVnecs and men of biology. For the new school finds all these
sciences touching one another at n liiimlird points.
