OREGON CITY COURIER.'THURSDAY NOV 20 1913.
ALL FOB THE BIG MAN
How John Stark Looks at the Pro
posed Currency Measure
"Was any government ever guilty of
. more monstrous favoritism than the
United States government has long
shows to the speculator and the bank
er, who by themselves create nothing,
over the toiler and the actual produa
er: who by themselves produce every.
thing that we eat or wear or require
. for our health or weiibemg i
"Was there ever a monarchial KOV'
ernment in the world so heartless and
short sighted as the government of
our own glorious country, when it tak
es the saving of poor people, who
trust the government more than the
banks, and then uses those savings to
show that the government itself trusts
the banks more than the people, and
is willing that the banks and specu
lators shall prosper even at the ex
Dense of the people?"
Sounds like treason, anarchy or
what-not, doesn't it 7 Now what pa
per do you think that comes from?
No, not from the appeal to Reason,
nor any political organ of any kind,
but from one of the most respectable
farm papers in the country, "The Or
chard and Farm," of San Francisco.
This paper in its November issue, dis
. cusses farm loans and postal saving
policies as applied by our friends the
capitalists who have in hand the rud
der of the ship of state.
Before me lies Congressional Rec
ord of June 23 last, page 2430. The oc
casion is a little spiel by the President
of this land of liberty before the joint
assembly, where the president said it
was an urgent occasion that he -requested
to be heard in behalf of the
proposed currency legislation. He us
ed these words, as officially report
ed. "It is "'osolutely imperative that we
should give the business men of this
country a banking and currency sys
tem by means of which they can make
use of the freedom of enterprise and
of individual initiative which we are
about to bestow on them.
"We are about to set them free. We
must not leave them without the tools
of action when they are free."
I should like to give you the full
speeen, but it would require a full col
umn. You see he pleads for the "bus
iness men." Throughout the whole of
it no mention is made of the farmer,
the producer in any capacity is not
mentioned once. No notice is served by
the chief executive upon that aggre
gation of law-makers, composed, if
not exclusively ol the parasitic class,
at least overwhelmingly so, that the
toilers of this land shall be freed from
the extoritions of the money lender,
or dividend taker.
I come to you, as the heed of the
government," etc, emphasizes the
erstwnue college professor of staid old
Princeton.
Why are we not mentioned in thiR
request? Do you know, my bucolic
friend? You know when the red fire
burned and the star spangled banner
waveo, wnue the band played "My
Country 'tis of thee, sweet land of
liberty," you and I were right "in it."
Oh yest the horny-handed son of toil
and the callous-fisted son of toil was
mentioned to prolonged applause, al
. ways started by the soft-handed bunch
moA uoia dn ueuj, vjuojj ui dn
and in went your vote, for the other
lenow instead of yourself, and when
you had parted with your ballot you
were forgotten.
It is not necepary to accuse the
President of being corrupt, in his
eagerness to look out for the wellfare
of, the exploitor, he has naver assoc
iated with any other kind. As head of
, tne college his environments were
among aristocrats, and hi8 short poli
tical career has been surrounded by
professional political bums who are
acting as agents for those who toil not.
Nothing ever comes from above in
human affairs but oppression. All up
ward movements come from below, so
if we expect any uplift in our affairs
we must attend to it as a working
class and do it ourselves. I am aware
that many will say the workers will
never do it, well if they do not, no one
else will, I prefer to await working
hubs ucwon . ior i Know wllat the
tne otner class has done to me.
Not long ago 1 met a man who took
offence to my criticism of the infamous
Circuit rider. He told me Brynn had
helped the American people out of a
bad hole. Strange to say that 81 per
mjih ui wage earners are home
less and about 10 ner cent liv in
mortgaged homes, a8 for the farmers
I have given government reports on
them in the last two papers. Coming
v.uoci, .j. no utM puu mis man to any
great extent, appearances are unre
liable. If you would find Bryan's great help
in the purse of yours truly, please
bring a pocket microscope.
Such stupid worship is excusable
from beardless boys but grey headed
men should take out license if they
desire to remain fools, no matter who
their heroes may be.
You are no doubt aware that the
currency bill, which the President urg
ed for the benefit of "the business
men of thiH country" has passed the
House and is now in the Senate, while
the house is playing tag. This bill will
no doubt undergo careful inquiry if it
is suitable to business men.
During the discussion in the House
the burthen of the song by the ma
jority was that the proposed bill
would make it easier for the gambler
to borrow money whenever he got
into a pinch. Nowhere in the acre or
two of speeches was there any anxi
ety expressed to provide for emer
gencies for the useful members of
society, should any of them find the
landlord at tho door with his bill and
the wage earner with empty purse
in hand. But why should they concern
themselves when the workers are not
enough interested in their own well
fare to go to Congress, but surrender
their votes to thoir economic enemies
None of those faviors of the majority
were concerned about the most mi
merous class of workers, namely the
farmers, where they faced
ure on mortgage or personal debts,
but why should they, for if the far
mer had thot the subject important
?. W0."ldj!8ve himsU gone to look
after it. These men are not at fault,
the fault lies with the stupid hero
worshiper, shouting and voting for the
loafer and the advertised faker sub
. sididzed by the exploiting class.
xNot long ago Mann said, that the
currency measure before the Senate
would produce the, worst panic the
country has ever seen. I say let her
pound, having had over a half cen
tury of panics, mostly under the Re
publican label, we may as well have
the same under Democrat label. The
. hero worshippers will say it is grand
and the same class takes the dough.
The' country at large gets a change
of label so it thinks "something is
done." I
Among the promoters of the Glass
currency bill, no one, so far as I am
aware, urged a system of finance that
would make the abolition of theft pos
sible, these gentlemen were all inter
ested in perpetuating and increasing
debts. As a mattr of digression it
might interest many persons, especial
ly some of those poorly informed
persons who tell us that our laws are
so good because of the Bible influ
ence. By the law of Moses all debts
were, at stated neriods., repudiated in
National scope, but you will never
hear anything of that in our modern
gospel mills, and for the same reason
that you hear nothing about it from
Congress, merely a matter of "the ox
knoweth his owner, and the ass his
master's crib." At any rate both gangs
are serving the same interests, the
God Mammon.
It was a suprise to me when'I read
the speech of Charles A. Lindbergh
of Minnesota on Sept. 11, which, to
gether with his minority report
covers 19 pages of the record. I had
seen no press reference to his remark
able able address, tho it is the most
radical departure from the beaten
paths of legislation I have seen brot
upthis session. I wish every other
voter could read it and then be cap
able of thinking. It is too long to re
view here.
He analyzes the money systems and
its effect upon ua and proposes as a
remedy, that this government issue
the money directly to the people for
service rendered, that henceforth no
more legal tender metal be stamped
unless some subsidery small change.
Take the dollar out of the gold is
his central thot and issue all money
on the credit of this nation.
I am quite sure that that will never
receive the endorsement of the pal
pitating patriot in patched pantaloons
wno wants "a money tnai is gooa in
'Yourup,' " when he is without the
price of a pair. of overalls down at
Rubenstein'g on the corner.

Editor Courier:
I want to tell you how much I ap
preciate your valuable puper. Your
determined and persistent fight for
good government not only in the coun
ty, as witness your trrific fight for
the recall in the face of the most outr
ageous falsehoods, but also good gov
ernment for your city, which ought to
have been one of the largest cities in
the state and last but not least your
valient fight for temperance.
M. J. Brown is not only one of the
best newspaper writers in the state,
but he has put the Oregon City Cour
ier in the lead of all country news
papers in the State of Oregon.
I suppose he was frightfully wor
ried (?) on account of that indict
ment last summer and his recent ac-
quital must have been a relief. Nit!
lhat grand jury is certainly in the
boob class, and if the original Henry
A. Dubb ever leaves this world, which
is doubtful, he can be replaced from
this grand jury. It is to laugh 1 Your
papers surely came to the front with
leaps and bounds. Coming out plainly
for the Democratic party before the
nominations you musth ave been
gratified to see that party triumphant
everywhere, and that finished scholar,
profound and able statesman and abl
est and best of men, Woodrow Wilson,
elevated to tho greatest office on
earth. A position he not only fills
with the greatest honor, but to the
great satisfaction of all good citizens.
ihen later you plunged into the
recall fight with all the heroic courage
of a Richard the lion-hearted amid
tho jeers and cat-calls of a reeime
grown insolent with long tenure of of
tice and fat and arrogant with graft,
In all these referendum and county
measures you were irenerally success
ful, and in short your star is in the
ascendant and justly so, because you
nave been in tne right.
By the way, did you notice in a re
cent issue of The Oretronian. with
their usuul accuracy, joyously told
their reader.q that the Progressive Re
publicans were knocked out completely
in an oi tne Eastern states 7 As a mat
ter of fact in Massachusetts they
Knocked the "Stand-patters" complete
ly out and gave the Democrats a run
for the first place. The Oregonian said
so Decause it hoped so.
Their columns aro usually filled ud
daily with slurs at Brvan. because he
started all of this agitation against
the greedy and predatory rich. If that
had not been started 1'ittock and the
Southern Pacific R. R. mitrht have
owned the balance of the state by
mis lime.

exactly fills this need. No opiates, no

Modern Surgery
So-called "modern surgery" is a dis
tinct step backwards. It is not for the
purpose of alleviating .human suffer
ing, for it increases it. It has degener
ated into commercialized graft. There
will always be room for legitimate
surgery such as is necessary for ac
cidents and wounds, and there is no
reason why the surgeon and the drug
less doctor cannot work together, pro
vided each attends cases coming with
in his proper sphere.
The present lust for blood is caused
chieftly by two things, first: the
people have been rapidly educated to
the fact that drugs do not cure and
decaying "medical" practice has forc
ed the doctors to carve or starve to
death.
Second Allopathic medicine has al
ways assumed to know it all and
"medical ethics" forbid an M.-D. learn
ing anything outside his own school,
for the assumption is that he already
knows it all, therefore he carves and
mutilates.
The Medical World, an allopathic
magazine in a recent issue says, re
fering to osteopathy and chiropractic:
"There is some good in these methods
and physicians rhould learn them and
thus take them out of the hands of
pseudo doctors. We have been and
are teaching them, and earnestly en
join our leaders to start now to learn
to cure whatever may be cured with
out drugs."
This is a frank acknowledgement of
the failure of drugs to cure and of
course, if our allopathic friends heed
this advice druglss methods will then
become "scientific." It is to laugh.
They have stolen our hydropathy,

tho home and increase private medi
cal practice and an attempt to saddle
state medicine on the people of the
allopathic brand. Only medical poli
ticians who are incapable of earning a
living at private practice are. as a
rule, employed.
You can at once see the folly of
such inspection, for it is a useless ex
pense without compulsion. Compulsory
medicine may be all right in Turkey,
but does not fit in a constitutional
government.
This inspection is in reality a hunt
for adenoids and sore tonsils, which
nearly every child has. Their plan is
to recommend operations for the re
moval of these troubles and a "train
ed" nurse follows up in the home to
hound the parents to consent to these
operations. The daily papeis will tell
you that a large perccntatre of these
operations are fatal.
these troubles are caused by (Cat
arrh. Catarrh is the result of wrong
feeding, wot one woman m a million
knows how to properly feed her chil
dren. They are allowed to drink tea,
colfee and milk, eat all kinds of "candy,
popcorn, sweets, pastry, meats aiid
starchy foods at all hours, violating
every known law of health, resulting
in deranged digestion, non-elimination,
congestions and systematic catarrh.
Feed the children properly and there
will be no adenoids and sore tonsils. (
Operations do not remove the catarrh
and should not be allowed. With ton
sils gone there' is life long trouble
with the throat, frequently ending in
cancer of the throat. Tonsils are
among the most useful organs of the
body and an operation for their re
moval should be made a crime, when
it is so easy to cure them by drugless
methods. ,
Wrong Living
Few people realize the importance
of right living, breathing, eating and
sleeping. Pure air is of the utmost im
portance. Next to that comes proper
eating. Good fuel makes
plenty of
steam and good food makes plenty of
good blood, which, if properly circu-
Uted makes cmnrl hoa t.h .Yon mav
lated makes good health .You may
have the best that the market anords,
yet not eat properly.
Starchy foods, such as potatoes,
rice, .beans peas, lentels and white
flour products, which are digested in
the duodenum, should be eaten spar
ingly and always accompanied by a
green leaf vegetable or salad. Never
peel your potatoes before cooking.
Pork, in any form, is a disease car
rier and unfit for human use. Beef
and veal are not much better. The best
meats, and meat once a day is enough,
are wild game and sheep and goats,
which range and eat rationally, and
wild fowls, with fish once a week.
Cakes, pies, pastry and sugar sweets
as well as tea, coffee, and milk should
be avoided. Cow's milk in its natural
shape is indigestible and a catarrh
breeder, but is improved when turned
into cheese products, as chemical ac
tion kills some of its bad qualities.
Practice deep breathing, sleep in
good air and eat right and you will
have a full measure of good health.
Parents-Teachers' Associations

parasites off-shoots' of the State Board

Teachers societies go after the women

cunning political doctors who are past
masters in the art of deceiving the
public and they have always thrived
on deception. The parents are given
to understand that the organization is
entirely for social uplift and mental
and physical improvement. They elect
prominent lady officers, meet at the
school house and discuss child well
fare. Then the lady M. D. and the
trained nurse appear and the old graft
of advising parents to have their chil
dren operated on also appears and it
wins in lots of cases.

The manufacturers of vaccine send
to Japan for their "seed" virus and it

pox in them. These pristules are
scraped off the animal and a "serum"
made from this filth and the vaccine

filth injected into the blood will pre-

The committee urged that the water
should be drawn from the Mt. Tabor
reservoir, instead of from the Portland
pipe line at Gray's crossing, the point
heretofore urged. This pipe line is now
inadequate to supply its district and
at times there is a reduction in the
usual supply. To furnish Oregon City
then there would have to be construct
ed a new line, which would have to be
charged in proportion to service to
Oregon City, or the people taxed for
same would have just cause for com
plaint which might, at some future
time, deprive us of the stipulated
amount. At the said reservoir there is
always an abundant supply,

The use of a meter at the Portland
end of the line would no doubt require
same here. It is maintained that this
is the only just and equitable plan
and is employed in nearly all cities. It
is contended that when the flat rate
exists there is much waste on the part
of many consumers and in such case
the more careful must help play for
this waste. This is true even where
there is a municipal plant, the small
economic user paying the same as the
large and wasteful consumer who may
use and waste many times more than
he. In the matter of sprinkling, for
instance, one man may sprinkle over
8,000 square feet on even an inside

lot, while another may have a small
fraction of this area, and yet must
pay the same amount.
This flat rate plan in Oregon City
and its accompanying waste, it is
claimed, is accountable for our ex
cessively high consumption rate per
capita. The cost of meter to consumer
is approximately $8.40. These meters
might, it is suggested, be furnished in
place by the city from the general
bond issue for the pipe line at a rent
al to cover interest and depreciation,
or sold on some plan of rebate.
(3) The number of gallons granted
is far in excess of the amount used
now or that will likely be used for
many years to come, according to re
liable estimates, based on the increase
of population during a number of
years past, and the present consump
tion per capita under conditions else-
where similar to those existiner in
seems to be normal or approaching
that. While the relative erowth has
been about 32.5 per cent per ten year
period since 1870 and about 18.5 per
tent per ten year period since 1890,
neither of these rates seem to fit the
case w'th sufficient approximation to
warrant its use in estimating future
growth. According to United States
census reports, a mean rate of 25 per
cent Per ten year period has been
chosen as closer approximation. Upon
th.'s Das's the estimated population
iu oe:
19205350; 19306700: 1940
8400.
At this rate of increase, there will
be in 1934 seven thousand four hun
dred population. A greater growth
would be abnormal.

port estimates in the absence of ac
curate reports of the daily consump
tion per capita during the present.
Upon this basis of 4600 population,
the net is 172 gallons per capita. Such
consumption is, evidently, in excess of
all reasonable requirements and indi
cates gross wastage. The losses gen
erally occuring are due to defects in
plumbing, leakage in the mains, ab
normal drafts at the mills, etc. In my
visits to the city, leaking fixtures were
everywhere encountered. Toilets and
urinals were generally in a bad state
of repair and discharged under no
regulation. The absence of metered
services, the general practice of omit
ting pressure regulation and a cer
the mains for public uses, are undoubt
tain indifference as to the draft upon
edly the most important reasons for
the high rate per capita. This rate is
considered beyond all reasons. I am
convinced with reasonable plumbing
regulatings and with metered service
the estimate following will be Ample
and will in no sense restrict the proper
use of water. Keeping in mind the
local conditions in Oregon City (with
its large factory interests and the ir
rigation necessities in the dry months
of summer) the following estimate of
per capita consumption is safe:
Domestic uses, maximum, gals, 50;
minimum, gals, 40.
Commercial uses, Maximum, gals,
25; minimum, gals, 20.
Public uses (sewer flushing, schools,
fire service, drinking fountains, blow
ing off mains, public buildings, etc )
maximum, gals., 15; minimum, gals,
10.
Losses on all accts, maximum gals,
40 per cent, (large)-3G; minimum gals
28.
Total Maximum gals, 126; mini
mum gals, 98.
The maximum rate represents sum
mer use, the minimum the winter.
With the population of 1934 estimated
to be 7,400 any new source of supply
should be capable of developement to
the extent of 935,000 gals, per day (in
round numbers 1,000,000.) On the
same basis of population at even
10500 persons at the end of twenty
years the consumption would be al
lowing 100,000 extra 1,500,000 gals.
Concrete example of consumption
under meter services are taken from

in estimating quantities, comparison
is not made with the Portland West
Side records, for the reason that these
include a very large number of room
ing houses, apartment houses, etc,
which makes a comparison with resi
dences unreasonable. Tho Histript. Vast.

The ouantitv
being lower than the probable con
sumption ot uregon City, and the av
erage for the Portland East Side be
ing hieher on account nf nnmhora nf
large meters in use, a fair estimate
oi tne quantity required for Oregon
City would appear to be from these
two estimates:

uusi per yr., $7482.00; pyment to sink

ost per year $10,3138.7
The Davment to the Si
is based upon a population of 4,500.
Any increase consumption would mean
a proportionate decrease in the total
cost per 100 gallons, the $2,000.00 be

(5) The Ten year period has been
criticised to the point of prohibition of
the entire plan. But'a more thoughtful
analysis than usually accorded this
term reveals conditions more favor
able to this source of supply than at
first appear:
Portland now has approximately
20,000,000 gallons in her reservoirs
and available for immediate use in ex
cess of her heaviest days' record of
consumption. She has another unde
veloped source accessible from which
she can obtain 40,000,000 gallons ad
ditional per day, and can add also sev
eral millions more to the daily delivery
at the reservoirs by adding to her pipe
line service to the reserve. In addit
ion to all this she has plans definitely
worked out and passed upon by expert
authority for the construction of huge
retaining dams in the gulches of the
reserve for the oenservation of im
menense supplies during the dry sea
sons. Tho her population should in
crease phenominally, it is, we believe,
inconceivable that she should need this
insignificant quantity within many fu
ture decades. Should the time arrive
when she will need more than she
shall have developed, it is hardly con
ceivable that this small amount of
1,500,000 gals would be sufficient ob
ject for her to withdraw it. '
It is, we believe, a moral obliga
tion that our sister city offers to take
upon herself and which she will never
be permitted, by public sentiment even
to take away. Once granted it is con
ceded by those who have taken upon
themselves' the largest responsibility
in this matter, that the term will, at
the expired time, be extended.
(6) The sale of water by Oregon
City outside her limits is prohibited.
Ther eason for this prohibition is ob
vious. The committee however, urged
updn the Commissioners the desire to
furnish West Oregon City from the
supply obtained. Thep roposed plan
does not, however, prohibit furnishing
to all who may come into the corpor
ate limits and share this city's burdens
of taxation as well as her joys of liv
ing. The estimates of cost to the city of
water obtained from either of the
sources mentioned does not include ex
tensions of city limits or first cost in
stalling of plant.
We, your committee, have endeav
ored to do the work required in a
thoro, economical and impartial man
ner. The large demands upon our time
and energy must be apparent to all.
We believe it is not for us to reco
mmend any one plan to the citizens of
Oregon City who must eventually de
cide for themselves this problem of
water supply. We do recommend that
the electorate be given early opportu
nity to record their choice.
Respectfullyy ours,
F. J. S. Tooze.
