STUDYING FARM PROBLEMS
sThe Way John Stark Looks at the
Vacation Commission
Courier: , .
A few months ago a couple of gen
tlemen left Oregon on an extended
trip to Europe. It was reported, if my
memory serves me right, that the ob
ject of their rip was to study agricul
ture problems abroad. I am under the
impression their expenses are provid
ed for out of the public funds of this
state. The same condition obtains in
many if not all states of the Union.
I am not jingo enough to believe
that we Americans know it all; on tne
contrary I think we might learn many
things to our advantage, not only in
Europe, but in any other part of this
globe, and on the other hand other
peoples might learn from us of in
formation. Just what knowledge v.e
are in crying need of in regard to ag-
, : nuifA p par to me.

I fail to see the urgency to be great
enough to send a specuu . ....

a lot of juicy chumps who do not
know themselves what they are trying
to teach us, in the back precincts, so
we must nave a
i ti.,h n chnw us how to grow
Bpuds, or from Germany to show us
hw to bring saur smui . r

If I have not been misinformed by
various public documents lying round
as I write this, we are exporting ag.
ricultural products, and these peoples
to wnom mis cuhi....o'- t ---wisdom
like a pilgrimage to the
Temple of Delphi to consult the oracle
These people cannot live unless they
obtain what .we produce. It would
seem they should come to us to learn,
as we have a surplus over our needs,
let them learn how to farm so they
will do as well. ' .
I believe aside of farming, farm
- credits should be looked into, while
this bucolic commission is temporar
ily away from home. Some scheme to
lend money to persons engaged in
farming, and be sure the philanthro
py will have sure income without do
ing any useful service, only as a go
between, a sort of fence between the
sovreign state assuming power to is
sue money, emit bills of credit and
regulate exchange, and the bewhisker
ed biped with the slanted brow, be
hind the hoe.
When ever any of the patriots start
out on a high minded and noble mis
sion I get a feeling somewhat like
that frequently experienced during
warm weather in cheap lodging hous
es, a sort o'creepy and I imagine 1
smell something.
Let us not lose sight of this partic--,
ular subject but I want to call your
attention to something with its bear
ing on government, so I will digress a
little. It is not impossible that m
writing this item I am guilty of law
breaking. I do not know the law in
this case, or any other for that mat
ter; neither do I think anyone else
knows the law. We had an illustrat
in the vice racket recently. Men were
brought into court , some convicted,
others merely arrested and one or
more sentenced to prison for what
was no crime at U; and it seems nei
ther the 'sheriff, judge or jury com
prehended the situation hrughout all
this legal and expensive tomfoolery.
It is therefore possible I am a crim
inal by writing this simple sketch of
a fact of public interest, which I at
tempt to analyze. I refer you to a
court conviction of an editor in Pater
son N. J., who was recently hailed in
to court on what is generally termed
Lese Majeste. It was not contended
that what he published was untrue,
but having published it he became a
felon. Whenever public officials bar
icade themselves behind a law for
bidding criticism, they plead guilty
to being corrupt.
I do not wish to be understood to
be hankering to play the role of mar
tyr. We are prone to look upon a life
sentence to hard labor at diversified
farming upon a Bmitll plat of lund as
the extreme of cruel punishment. I
have it upon seeming good authority
that to be surrounded by eighteen in
ches of masonry and subject to the
whim of drunken, unfelling deputies
is much worse as to defy any attempt
at comparison. Therefore I am not
inclined at my age, to undergo the
sensation. Only while on the subject
I wish to call attention to he condit
ion of affairs which is overlooked by
the average citizen. That ia I may also
be guilty of felony; the luw is so
complicated as well as expensive, it is
impossible for me to know what is,
or what is not law.
Let us get back to the main topic
of this item, namely the European
commission.
I am under the impression that this
commission was appointed by the gov
ernor of this state in pursuance of a
legislative enactment authorizing the
same and providing the payment out
of public funds. Now there is another
phaso to this question I should like
your attention about. That is that it is
the policy of his government to ap
point consuls to all important polit
ical and industrial districts. These of
ficials reside somewhere in these dis
tricts during ther official career or
aro supposed to reside there, and
travel about the consular district;
come in touch and inform themselves
upon all phases of political, industrial
and social questions peculiar to their
district. This information is forward
ed to Washington, D. C, where it is
compiled for publication and inspec
tion by all persons especially inter
ested those particular questions. The
general information is printed in the
daily Consular and Trade reports,
which aro Bent free to publishing
houses, merchants, exporters or im
porters. Now the question is, why send ti
commission to inform itself on a sub
ject or number of subjects which,
may be learned from the bureau hav
ing charge of this affair; informat
ion which from the very nature of
things, is more complete thnn may be
learned by this high-priced junket.
Furthermore, should any detail be
lacking on any question from any of
the remote parts of the earth, the
bureau would readily institute inquiry
upon request from any person much
less influential than the spectacular
dive-hunter at Salem. Is it possible
that our legislature, the governor or
the gentlemen forming this precious
commission were not aware that such
is the case? Or are we forced to the
conclusion these honorable gentlemen
were engaging in gemeui nuu nn
i i i
Living out in the uncut all my life
unllts tne to lauiom me way iu
ernment moves, its wonders to per
form. It was fitting that these pepple
taught us to write "Hon." before the
name of such official, for left to our-
cnWaa four nf IIS would have suspect
ed the propriety of so doing.
During every caminugu we
prompted to be sure we send capable

important tasks. Of course that mean

Now this distinguished commission
is to go abroad to learn how to raise
bigger crops, when potatoes are so
plentiful to be unsaleable and it might
be well to asK tne uenjr
"hows the market?" Where would we
sell the crops if we, by any manner
of means should increase the yield to
any noticeable extent? It must not be
supposed that these eminent law
givers are not in the raising business
as well as the clod crushers. They
lifted the salary of clammy-handed
politicians and also made a great
raise for the University. In fact were
busy raising schemes for graft, such
as sterilization and other forms of
humbug to which they applied them
selves diligently under the pretense of
lifting the morals, oh yes, they are
all strong on morals! Not infrequent
ly we are regailled wifh the shame,
that these worthy patriots receive
such little pay for their heroic sac
rifice and the wonderful talent they
drag around with their official dut
ies. I often wonder what these sav
iors of ours would put over if they
received the monetary rewards they
tell us their remarkable talents are
entitled to.
I cannot say that the public offic
ials were dishonest in their sending
some guys on this errand, but if that
is the limit of their knowledge, it

only my guess ana as i never wu any
prizes at guessing school I may be
wrong. It's your turn to guess.

LIKE THE DAYS OF PHAROAH
Ancient History and Modern Politics
in Clackamas County
Editor Courier:
In the days of the year of 1913,
even when Wilson ruled with a rod
of Queen's English over the land of
God of Mammon, commonly known in
those days as Uncle Sam's Domain, in
those days lived a man of the Pharis
ee's by name or Gorg-zee. This man
had lived for many years peddling hot
air to the inhabitants of that territory
known as Clackamas county. It does
appear from the records thr.t this
people were very fond of this style of
merchandise, therefore the brother
namely "Jorg. Zee," waxed fat and
opulent, and became a Pharoah with
in said Clackamas county. Yea, so
mighty did he become that men bow
ed down before him and said "We are
thine to do with as thou wilt. If thou
wilt say 'go to Hell,' we will go. But
.naster, give us some more of your
uope lest we die."
After many years there came
crowding over the mountains men of
all nations of the earth, and these
men loved not this hot air and dope
of the Blue Sky variety, neither
would they have respect unto this
whited sepulchre, Jorg Zee. Where
upon sundry of the priests of rf.e
county prayed earnestly for him and
desired greatly that he should be
brought safely to the heaven of the
just for they argued wisely that
there was mighty little hope upon
earth.
On a certain day of the month Ju
nius stood up, a scribe who, being a
just man and a lover of the people,
said seeing that this hot air faker by
the means of the dope doth bring
blindess upon the eyes of the folks
of the country, so that they cannot
see to walk the road of life straight,
therefore let this man Jorg Zee, be
damned for an all-fired mugwump,
pollywog, rascally Tammany King.
And the Lord heard the prayer of this
just scribe and said unto the keeper
of the gate, "Let not that one who is
named Jorg Zee enter into this Land
of Joy, for he has sold his soul for a
song of hot air and gab to the fellow.
Besides our angels must be protected
for these fellows would pull the feath
ers out of their wings and tear up
the golden streets of our city and ped
dle hot air at twenty bucks a breath
to the Elders of the city, and buffalo
this court by much garbage of verbos
ity. Therefore we have granted this
prayer and have decried Baid Jorg
Zee."
Whereupon this news was conveyed
to the seer who doth hereby publish
it before the people. That as many
were blinded by the gas of this accu
mulation of concentrated essence of
molasses and the jawbone of an ass.
This cloud without water may receive
again their vision; that they may
walk without fear of man, for there
is no evil can befall man on earth,
but that he should become blind and
deaf or afraid. There is nothing to
fear, but that we shall fail to do our
duty. That wo shall be afraid that we
will be afraid that we will be afraid.
Let us quit us like men and fear not
tlio terror by night or the pestilence
that walketh by day.

STOP THE OUTGO
Feeding Poor Cows Good Corn is the
Short End of Dairying
When farmers will leani to raise
their own feed and stop being boost
ers for the corn raisers in Kansas,
then will the bigger part of the milk
and cream checks stay at home and
then will the dairymen find that
farming looks more like easy money.
One trouble with dairying in this
county is the farmers work too much
on the principle of the man who
rather than build a fence around an
orchard for his hog, penned him, fed
him $13 worth 'of corn and meal and
sold him for $12. And then I suppose
he got out and preached there was no
money in hog raising.
Corn isn't the only feed that will
make bossies come dowr with the
white fluid. There are many varieties
of roots and grains, almost as good
as corn meal for cows, and they are
practically sure crops, and why more
of these are not raised and less
money sent over the mountains for
feed is one of the reasons why so few
of the farmers in this vicinity can't
afford autos.
. But farmers are getting wise. The
cow milk is going to bring good mon
ey from now on, and head work is go
ing to bring good results in dairying.
The quality test is going to weed
out the robber cows; farmers are go
ing to fill their barns with home
grown feed; stock bred up and given
more care.
High prices of milk are here to
stay. The great demand for milk and
its products have put prices up to
stay.
And what the farmer wants to do
is to get into the game, build for the
future and stay wih it. It's a winner.

In the year 1828, according to an
Ohio paper a club of young students
at Wellsville, O., arranged to debate
the question of railroads, then just
coming into notice. When they asked
the school board for the use of the
school house, they received the fol
lowing remarkable reply, which is
preserved to this day by Alexander
Wells, an aged citizen of that place:
"You are welcome to the use of the
schoolhouse to debate all proper
questions in, but such things as rail
roads and telegraphs are impossibil
ities and rank infidelity. There is no
thing in the Word of God about them.
If God had designed that His intell
igent creatures should travel at the
frightful speed of 15 miles an hour
by steam, He would clearly have fore
told it through His holy prophets. It
is a device of Satan to lead immortal
souls down to hell."
