CHILD Some years ago the coun
LASOR try was shocked with the
revelations of child labor
in the mountain regions of the south,
hut there has nothing developed so
utterly shameful and sordid as is
brought to light in the recent report
of Miss Mary Elizabeth Chamberlain,
a Vassar graduate, regarding the can
neries of New York state. Little mites
of children, prematurely turned into
"Kuman machines" as one indignant
newspaper puts it, snipping beans, or
husking corn all day long, with their I
little fingers wrapped in bandages,
falling aslepp at their tasks, some of
them crying out through fatigue, pain
and hunger, only to be thrashed by
their parents and compelled to remain
at work.
The sentiment of New York is in
dignant and aroused, and it is well
that it is, for it is only through the
righteous indignation of the elector
ate that many of our representatives
can see the horror and criminality
of conditions such as these. The can
neries of New York state certainly
need calling to account.
STUDENT
EXTRAVAGANCE
The country at
large seems to be
waking up to the
growing extravagance of students in
our high schools and colleges. In the
high school especially is this tenden
cy growing; so much so in fact, that
many boys and girls of ability are
debarred from entering, for fear they
cannot keep up with the others in
the thousand and one unnecessary ex
penses that go with a high school ed
ucation in most large cities. ' We can
be grateful that the fever has not as
yet struck the Oregon City High
School, but that it is probably due to
the excellent management. Greek,
letter societies with their ridiculous
mummery, and snobbish class distinc
tions belong only to our higher seats
of learning, so far as Oregon is con
cerned, but in other states they have
completely demoralized the" secondary
schools. . j
No-one thus far has argued that our
universities are superior to the Euro
pean institutions, yet in both Germany
an dEngland they manage to acquire
a satisfactory education without any
of the flub-dub secret society non
sense that prevails this side of the
Atlantic. Indeed effete Europe is so
far behind the times that college yells
are unknown, and the esprit de corps
that is dependent on a college yel!
leader is not even understood. Our
schools in jthe grammar and secondary
divisions are undoubtedly superior, to
the German," French or English
schools of the same grade. It is de
cidedly our duty to see that the de
moralizing snobbery of the average
university is not copied by our high
gcljopls,
OUR ROTTEN President Taft's
BANKING LAW Secretary of the
Treasury, Franklyn
MacVeafchi freely warns Congress in
his annual feport that the federal gov
ernment, as long as the present
scheme exists, will be exclusively re
sponsible for the commercial, indus
trial, and social disasters which flow
from panics and attack, directly or
indirectly, every home in the nation.

party these years back that has not
contained a plank to the effect that
our banking and currency system
needed overhauling, but as yet no po
litical party has had the courage to
try to put the flank into effect To
quote Secretary MacVeagh: "The sys
tem under which we are living not
only will not prevent a panic, but af
ter a certain point in the generation
of panic conditions is reached, will
make it inevitable. Sa that, as long
as the financial system created by our
federal laws remains unchanged and
unreformed, the government will be
exclusively responsible for the com
mercial, industrial, and social disas
ters which flow from panics." The
system was never right even in the
beginning, but the civil war with its
trying experience, fastened it on us
until only a surgical operation now
can help us.. It is just such condi
tions, combined with a national care
lessness which are' responsible for
the Rockefellers, Harrimans, Morgans,
Sages and others of that ilk.
MORGAN'S The testimony of Mr. '
TESTIMONY Morgan before the
Senate Investigating
Committee, following so closely on thd
heels ot the Stock Exchange disclos
uresfor no other word describes
the lack of even ordinary morality,
will give ammunition galore to the
people who talk faster than they
think. Yet Mr. Morgan was only par
tially right when he asserted the im
possibility of cornering the money
market. The money in itself is worth
less. As such it cannot be used for
food, shelter, or raiment; but as a
medium of excaange it finds expres
sion in almost every want of siciety.
Mr. Morgan says no man can corner
the money market, but that the indus
tries may be monopolized. But,
if . a man, or group of men, control the
industries of the country, the effect is
the same as if they controlled the fi
nances. It is, just such control that
Mr. Morgan and his associates have
secured, and which is now under in
vestigation, that together with our
wretched Banking and Currency sys
tem are to blame for our periodic
stringencies and panics.
But are these men as much to blame
for taking advantage of conditionsas
we are for permitting those condit
ions? 4
DEVELOPING
WATER POWER
Development of
water power, the
promoting of man
ufacturing, and many forms of light
transportation- traffic, ' is somethings!
to which . the. people of Arkansas, in
common with those of most other
Southern States, are turning their at
tention.The building of hydro-electric
plants along the White River in not
bounded by the state line between
Missouri and Arkansas. The White
River offers many special advantages
and opportunities for profitable enter
prise of this kind. The stream having
been declared navigable as' far up its
course as Forsythe, Mo., an act of.
Congress signed by the president, is
necessary to damming it for ' water
power sites anywhere between For
sythe and where it falls into the Ar
kansas below Memphis. And such de-1
velopment work, it would appear," has
been regarded through failure of pro
moters to sufficiently safeguard the
public interest and the rights of the
government in supervision and control
Apparently there has been an effort
to eeiae th Valuable water-power
privileges at some poits along White
River, and the defeat of these efforts
has, for the time, defeated the devel
opment of the sites.
While Arkansas has lt mileage
in water officially declared to be nav
igable than any other state, this dis
tinction has made ft more difficult for
her to develop ydro-electric plants
as rapidly as other states In the south,
and will, or 4ft least should, until the
charters her promoters ask from Con.
gress Include the necessary guarantee
Yes, Indeed,
for public safety. Other states, with
many fast running streams, and topog
raphies to make damming easy, have
been less restricted, for the reason
that many of their best water-power
streams are unnavigable. And wideH
advantage has been taken of this fact
In the Carolinas 150 cotton mills are
now being driven by electric power
generated by water power, thirty
towns and cities are lighted and hun
dreds of cotton gins, oil mills and
other manufacturing establishments
are driven by the same energy.
In pursuing a wise and necessary
policy of conservation of our natural
resources, the government at Wash
ington will be expected to see that
public rights and interests are not sur
rendered in the development of this
new source of wealth and comfort.
President Taft has been much con
demned in Arkansas for his vetoes of
bills granting water-power rights
along White River because the public
interest was not sufficiently .safeguard
ed. These measures may be reintro
duced after he is out of office, passed
and signed. But why should a devel
opment so vital to the prosperity of
the state be delayed in order to give
. monopoly to a tew men when ben
efits to all could be assured by a wise
and liberal policy?

FOR BETTER ROADS
(Continued from page 1)
trunk roads of the state, under the
direction of the State Engineer.
A legislative appropriation to pro
vide revenue for putting into effect
the measure adopted br the people at
the recent election, authorizing the
employment of state convicts on the
public roads of Oregon.
The State Grange is already prac
tically committed, it is understood, in
a general way to these policies, and
Grange leaders believe that a reason
able solution of the road legislation
tangle lies in the system of rendering
financial assistance to road districts
that are willing to help themselves
through .special taxes. It is openly
admitted that the automobile men
should have the trunk roads they de
mand, if they are willing to pay for
them, and for that reason the propos
ed measure to spend the automobile
license money on main highways it
a conservaeive proposition. The third
bill is justified through the sentiment
of the people expressed at the Novem
ber election. State Master Spence, of
the Grange, will recommend the adop
tion of the plans of , the conference by
the legislative and executive commit
tes of the State Grange.
Representative Gill has a further
plan that received a unanimous en
dorsement. He proposes to. introduce
into the legislature a bill providing
for road construction in about the
same manner as? school districts are
administered, making each road dis
trict a municipality, with power to
issue bonds, the districts to be gov-

take road administration out of poli

Departing from the consideration of
road legislation, the committee also
urged the amending of the initiative
to compel the names of the sponsors
for any measure to appear on the bal

enable the voters to more readily
identify a measure, and to place the
