MOVING FORWARD
The straightest road to perdition
was the only one open for the people
of the United States when it became
apparent to certain very rabid and
very unreasonable republican parti
sans that Woodrow Wilson had been
re-elected.
The Courier is immensely pleased
to note from the press stories it reads
the truth of this terrible predic
tion, and we wonder sometimes if the
tormentor doesn't trifle with the
imaginations of the aforementioned
republicans. It is a matter for won
der that the conscience of such
speech makers is not sorely tried.
Withal, the road to perdition is a
pleasantly beautiful highway. It
seems to (be paved with good inten
tions that materialize; intentions that
resolve into action and accomplish
ment and is not nearly so difficult to
travel as we had been led to believe.
One of the first structures on the
road to perdition will be the new
Hawley mill additions, started, com
pleted and operated under a demo
cratic administration. Mr. Hawley
doesn't let politics interfere with
business and when he sees business
coming his way he will provide him
self to receive it with open arms
even if "Bill" Bryan was president.
The second edifice that will lend
shade to the road to perdition, which
we evidently will be forced to travel
in spite of ourselves, will be the Ore
gon City Manufacturing company's
extensive additions. This plan will
mean that probably 150 more men and
women will be given employment here
so that the long hours of their jour
ney to perdition will be sweetened by
the fruits of honest toil and the buy
ing power of honest dollars.
And when Mr. Jaeger sees an op
ening for the modern building he has
been talking about when he realizes
that there is a profit to be made from
such an investment we shall see
such a building started and finished,
and it will not make any particular
difference to Mr. Jaeger who is pres
ident.
Then there is the new Moose lodge
building on Main street construc
tion will startsoon. And Mr. Busch
is just now completing his fine new
docks and warehouses on the water
front.
When the Southern Pacific com
pany understands that it is destined
for public ownership unless it gets a
hump in fts back and builds a new
depot in Oregon City we shall have
the new depot and there will be no
thought of who is president.
When business warrants the loca
tion in Oregon City of some other big
manufacturing institution business
heads will not hesitate because one
man or another is at Washington.
Frequently and . almost invariably
business has its eyes on the dollars.
If we have to sail the seas on our
way to perdition as foreseen by these
rabid republicans our voyage will be
made pleasant by the sight of dozens
of ships contracted for and actually
being built in Oregon and elsewhere
on this coast. If, perchance, our way
to perdition leads through Portland,
we shall see many new ship yards
all busy; we shall see the proposed
annex to the Benson hotel, a couple
of extensive new bank buildings and
several other plans under considera
tion. And if we pause a Gladstone
for entertainment we shall be per
mitted to sit in the new $5000 audi
torium and it won't matter greatly.
since we are on our way anyhow, who
is president.
Really this highway to eternity
doesn't seem to be such a very rocky
road as it was pictured to us after
the election. Ilf we have started our
journey toward perdition let us keep
it up and stay with tne car of pro
gress to the very end for it appears
to be passing wonderful things in the
way of civic, industrial, moral and
physical development.
A GAMBLE CROP
All farming has 'a large enough
element of chance in it to make it a
more or less "sporting" proposition
says Farm and Fireside. There is no
safe bet against crop destruction by
frost, flood, hail and drought through
out great areas of our country, and
in spite of such modern aids as fungi
cides and insecticides, destructive
pests and blighting diseases fre
quently interfere with a "sure thing'
in commercial cropping operations,
But year in and year out, potato-
growing scales high as a gaming ven
ture. The present harvest finds some
potato-growing centers cashing in at
the rate of $400 to $600 an acre for
a crop the production cost of which is
under $100 an acre.
In the noted Arroostook potato
growing district, growers are loading
their crop3 on potato trains, which
are sold f. o. b. for $1.50 to $1.60 a
bushel. These growers think an acre
age of less than 20 to 30 acres to the
farm is small operating, and a yield
of under 300 bushels an acre indicates
inferior farming when the season is
favorable. Crops of 60 to 80 acres of
potatoes grown on 150-acre farms are
by no means uncommon. Even a 50
acre potato crop yielding 250 bushels
an acre and sold at $1.50 a bushel
means a gross income of $18,750, and
over $12,000 net. Can an operator on
the stock exchange show anything
much better, all things considered?

Decreased Valuations Put Institutions
in Embarassing Predicament
Because of a decrease this year of
more than $55,000,000 in the valua
tion of the taxable property of the
state, the income of both the Oregon
Agricultural college and the Univers
ity of Oregon, from the millage tax,
will be materially reduced next year.
A steady increase in the enrollment
at both institutions has aggravated
the situation. Both will no doubt
ask the legislature for aid, and in
view of the 6 per cent tax limitation
amendment, it is not believed that
the lawmakers can extend help.
"The estimates made two years
ago indicated that the present valua
tion of the state would be $1,000,
000,000," says he secretary of the Un
iversity of Oregon, in a letter to Gov
ernor Withycombe on the subject.
"As a matter of fact, the valuation
has fallen below this figure approxi
mately $121,000,000. This means a
loss to the university from the mill
age tax of $36,500 per annum. Thus
the university, with a decrease of in
come, faces a steady increase of at
least 16 per cent per annum in the
enrollment, which means in 10 years
on a conservative estimate an enroll
ment in Eugene of 4501 students.'!
The enrollment for this year is esti
mated at 1035.
"In connection with any study of
college enrollment, the points of most
significance are those which show the
tendency of enrollment in regular de
gree courses," says President Kerr
of the agricultural college, in a letter
dealing with the increased attendance
of that instituton. "The average in

six years (including 1916-17) is 16
per cent. This is a remarkable in
crease in the collegiate work, espe
cially in view of the fact that during
this period requirements for admis
sion to these courses have been ad
vanced from two. to four years of high
school preparation. As was expect
ed at the time the entrance require
ments were advanced, there was a
falling off in freshman students dur
ing each year of the transition.
In spite of this, however, the average
increase in the freshman enrollment
throughout the past six years is 19
per cent Registration for the cur
rent year shows an increase of 31 per
cent over last year in freshman stu
dents. The millage tax will give the ag
ricultural college $351,505.58 next
year, which is $22,292.43 less than'
last year. When the law putting the
two institutions on a millage basis
was passed it was figured that the
valuation would sufficiently increase
to give them funds for new buildings
as well as maintenance, but they will
fall far short of this, it is said. !

THE BOYCOTT AGAIN
Mrs. Burr Says Wealthy Women are
Behind Boycott
Clackamas, Ore., Dec. 15, 1916.
Editor Courier:
Does a boycott on food have the
desired effect? In looking over the
market and reckoning the cost of
production I find that many articles
of food put on the market at a loss
to the producers at even the high
prices that are paid. Eggs at fifty
cents a dozen will not pay for the feed
of an ordinary flock of hens and pork
at the present high prices does not
pay for the feed and care and time
that is taken to get it on the market.
The boycott will cause the small
farmer to go out of business, and the
large farmer will control the mar
kets and then will at the same time
be also food raised. So long as there
is plenty of food there is a chance for
everyone to be well fed, even if the
price is high, but so soon as there is
scarcity of food some are sure, to
suffer and starve.
