UNEMPLOYED ADVISED
Many a man is out of employment
simply because he doesn't know how to
go about getting work, in the opinion
of Stanley Baker, advisory and
employment secretary of the Portland
Young Men's. Christian Association.
Mr. Baker says that this is a fact that
has been proved by hundreds of Ih
stances within his personal experience
and he is able to show numerous in
teresting letters that show how mu-.-h
depends on the way in which a man
goes after a job.
An interesting case was that of a
young man who wrote to the Y. M. C.
A. asking help in getting a position.
Just a little advice was all that he
needed. He soon had a position and
wrote to tell Mr. Baker how easy he
found it to secure a Job for himself.
The case was considered such a good
illustration of methods followed by the
Portland Y. M. C. A. that a lengthy
account of it was printed In Associa
tion Men. the official Y. M. C. A. pub
lication. Some time ago the young man, out
of work and discouraged wrote the
following letter to Mr. Baker:
"I am a young man, and almost a
stranger in Portland.
"I am out of employment and my
money Is all gone, and I must have
work, but I haven't the money with
which to pay an employment fee. .If
you can place me In a position, how
ever low the salary may be, I will
pay the fee out of the first money I
earn. I have bad some experience In
the retail grocery and furniture lines,
and in office work.
"I have an application In several of
the business houses here, but my wife
and our two babies can't live on ap
plications. If necessary I can give
several excellent references."

Germans Want to
Know About Oregon
State Immigration Commission
ceiving- Dally Requests fox Informa
tion, Besnlt of Newspaper Article.
The German department of the Ore
gon State Immigration commission is
receiving daily requests for informa
tion about Oregon from residents of
Germany who are seeking a new home.
These Inquiries come about largely
through an article published In a Ber
lin newspaper written by P. Luders,
who came here from Germany In 1913.
The article describes "A Clover Farm
in Oregon," dealing particularly with
conditions in Yamhill county.
Mr. Luders' article analyzes the
clover and dairy situation, paying the
state a high "compliment on its possi
bilities for the German farmer. The
German department of the commission
assisted Mr. lAiders. supplying the
photographs which illustrated the ar
ticle. Memorial Will Be

In reply to the letter Mr. Baker sent
him the correspondent called the next
day and Mr. Baker gave him instruc
tions to follow, guaranteeing that if
re would get out and hustle he would
have work within three days.
The sequel to the incident came
when Mr. Baker received the follow
ing letter:
"I wish to thank you vlth all my
heart for the" advice you were so kind
as to give me yesterday. I followed
your advice, put my backwardness to
the rear, brought my self-confidence
forward and landed a job. The first
place I applied, the manager actually
apologized for not having anything
ror me, and he meant it, too. The
next place I pulled off my coat and
went right to work."

Would Abolish State Senate.
Portland, April 4. To the Editor of
The Journal Every once in a while we
read some such explanation as this:
"The bill was a Just bill and wanted
by the people. It passed the house,
but the senate defeated it by a small
vote." "The legislature was Inclined
strongly to do away with the abuses
complained of. but the hold-over sen
ators were able to defeat the proposed
measure."
The Journal has in its news and ed
itorial columns reported that it was
the state senate that held back the
employers' liability law, the state sen
ate that bucked against the direct pri
mary law, the state senate that balled
up the tax law, the appropriation bills.
etc.
The state senate is not only an utter
ly useless but It Is a distinctly injur
ious body to the commonwealth or Ore
gon. It costs enormous sums in print
ine bills, for everything has to be
printed twice on its account. It seems
to need a lot or cierns ana nunmes
who draw biz pay while they are at It
The state senate puts most of the Jok
ers Into the bills that do pass, and
rolls most of the appropriation logs
that result in fat appropriations at the
Expense of the taxpayer. It needs to
ie aooiisnea. ine peopie ui jiv&ju
should shake the old shell orf their
backs. At best it is a useless rock in
the sack, and in some ways it is an
Old-Man-of-the-Sea, clinging to the
people and frequently choking them
down.
But for the fact that I have exhaust
ed my personal resources in securing
the signatures to the Home lax x
emptton -measure I would run for the
state senate on a platform the leading
plank of which would be to abolish the
state senate. However, there Is an
initiative measure before the people
doing that.
ALFRED D. CRIDGE.
Contrasts in Financing.
Portland, April 4. To the Editor of
The Jounral Condemnation and praise
from multitudinous quarters have met
the announcement of the great prori
sharing plan of Kenry Ford. Exponents
of labor and Socialism have claimed
this new departure as a practical dem
onstration of their economic program
as outlined in the Socialist philosophy.
They say that though Henry Ford has
given to the workers annually but one
half of what they produce, to gain the
other half will be but one of the mile
stones on the-path of progress, t6He
reached much more easily when the
experiment is so successfully demon
strated by Ford, the financial genius
To decry the great praise due Ford
has been left to George M. Verity, pres
ident of the "American Rolling Mill
companyin the current number of the
uutiOOK. ms auspicious xinanciai
king sees in the new profit sharing
scheme a condition "that may tend to
make labor and labor organisation-
more unreasonable in their demands,
This may be said to be representative
of the views of capital on this scheme.
Mr. Verity argues thus: That not
5 per cent of the industries of the
country can do what Ford has done
financially and commercially it Is im
possible he avers. The Ford company
is a veritable "Aladdin's" lamp propo-
sit ion, standing out boldly before thu
eyes of the world mm such. I Tbe Ford
company has only seven stockholders,
and with $2,000,000 capital stock, do
ing a business of $100,000,000 or more
per year, and frankly; admitting net
earnlnps of 120.000,000 per year, whers
is there a parallel? There are very
few enterprises owned by seven stock
holders which are doing a business of
$100,000,000 per year. There are Im
portant Industries owned ! by thou
sands of stockholders, employing three
times the amount of capital, that can
not hope to earn one third the amount
the Ford company admits earning.
There are few Industries which could
pay 6 per cent on their actual cash
invested capital and cdver fixed
charges, taxes, etc., out of half their
earnings. i i
The answer to Mr. Verity's argu
ment: Mr. Ford has 25.000 employes.
His concern is owned by himself and
six other men. The company is cap
italized at $2,000,000. Its net profits
last year were $25,000,000. !or a profit
of more than 1200 per cent on their
investment. This is why Mr. Verity
calls Mr. Ford's enterprise an Alad
din'at lamn nrniviBttiAn Dn i. iu an
Aladdin's lamp enterprise,! or an en
terprise unscathed by Mr. Verity's
iratmiiisBi wnai air. verity prooaoij
would do to the Ford company If he
controlled It would be (summed up In
the following operations: i Mr. Ford
makes a rtet profit of $20,000,000 on a
capitalisation of $2,000,000: $26,000-
000 is 4 per cent on $825,000,000. To
capitalize for and sell $625,000,000

If God ever created: a devil, vht m

Why not one proof text of that fact?
ine aevii belongs in; that vast cate
gory of fast dissolving views, and
exists only in the mfnds of a people
whose faith has been warped by
heathen tradition. If Mr. Linscott will
look up the origin and derivation of
the term "devil" he will find it comes
from the Greek word "diabolis," and
means "a traducer, an evil minded per
son, a false accuser, and is applied
to both men and wonjen and never to
an Imaginary theological devil. And
Its corresponding word, "Satan," means
an accuser, or one who opposes. Thus
Jesus said to Peter, rget thee behind
me Satan" (opposes).
This devil never was created and
never existed save In the minds of
those believing tradition and heathen
lore, and to teach it is a stigma on
the character of an allwlse God and
a reflection on the intelligence of man,
and cannot be sustained by science,
reason or revelation.
It is a doctrine that came from the
heathen and it Is high time that an
intelligent people should let It go back
to its source.
The doctrine of the devil and eter-
nel torment has made more infidels
and skeptics than all other errors
combined. The Jews while in Baby
lonish captivity Imbibed the doctrine
from the heathen, who attributed all
sicknesses to demoniacal possession.
Thus, when Jesus healed all that
were sick, they called it "casting out
devils." And yet no physician of to
day would risk his reputation by as
cribing any malady, no matter of what
peculiar nature, to demoniacal posses

The Affair at Quincy. i
Portland, April 4. To the Editor of
The Journal A Socialist who teaches
anarchy ought to- be canned, and I
wish to congratulate
the hamlet of
Quincy on securing a shool board con
sisting of J. K. Luniljarlvl. John
Jolma and J. II. Larson, more es
pecially the latter, who, by his timely
Interference, probably averted terrible
bloodshed.
This is, in substance, the way his
heroic deed was reported in the Ore
gonlan: "Mrs. Foreman tried to ring the bell
but Mr. Larson seized the rope, struck
a pose a la 'curfew shall not ring',
and held out his fist for Flora to
bump against, which she di4- No blood
from the blow was In evidence, how
ever, until she had thrust her fingers
several times into her nostrils; then
Mr. Larson ordered, her arrest for dis
turbing the peace." Oh, you Larson
and Lutnijarivl and John Jolma! Again
I congratulate the people of Quincy.

Opposing Prohibition.
Silverton, Or.. April 3. To the Ed
itor of The Journal A reader of the
Journal, a mother, has replied to my
recent letter In the Journal, on pro
hibition. Nothing touches my heart
more deeply thar kind, affectionate
words from a dear mother, pleading
for a higher moral standard for her
boys. But is the mother sure that
prohibition would place her boy on
a higher moral. plane? Suppose you
lay a nice, apple on the table and say,
"Son, don't touch that apple." When
your back is turned the first thing
the boy will do is to take the apple,
because It was prohibited. It is tha
same from the beginning of the world.
Why did Adam and Eve want to eat
from one particular tree? Because
it was prohibited. That is Just the
way with the boy and the liquor traf
fic. While one may be very much
Interested In the moral welfare of the
boy, the rights and welfare of others
must also be recognized. If prohibi
tion triumphs It will throw thousands
of fathers out of employment and onto
the already glutted labor market of
the state, and throw their innocent
little children to the mercy of this
cold world and make honest mothers
weep for tho want of bread. It would
be one of the most pathetic scenes this
state ever witnessed. It would revo
lutionize our whole industrial system,
and create one of the worst panics this
state ever witnessed. From a scien
tific point of view, prohibition Is a
fanatical whim.
EDWIN A LINSCOTT.
The Attorney General's Office.
Portland, April 4. To the Editor of
The Journal I have Just noticed In
the press that the cost of the attorney
general's office in ' Oregon had in
creased since 1903 from $7200 per an
num to $26,600 in 1913, and I desire in
formation as to what occasioned this
enormous Increase.
I would suggest that since we have
county attorneys under fairly Kood
salaries, who are Just as competent as
the attorney general or his deputies.
that the office of attorney general be
abolished and that this work be turned
over to the district attorneys in the
several counties of the state.
I am informed that we are paying
the attorney general $3600 per annum
and his traveling expenses, and in ad
dition thereto I find a number of dep
uties drawing handsome salaries, while
the attorney general himself is out
following his usual vocation cam.
paignlng for another office where the
pay is even more than he is receiving
at the present time.
Where a man has drawn a goodly
salary from the state for 12 years, and
has a part of his family in the same
office drawing an additional salary.
It does seem that owing to the fact
that taxes are very high that the
present attorney general while con
ducting his campaign for a higher and
more lucrative office that of govern
or would follow In the footsteps of
Dr. WIthycombe, and resign so that
the taxpayers would not have to pay

him his high salary while out cam-

lectins his business which he is em-
from the attorney general's office have
been on the Joking order, as a large
number of them have been reversed
by the same attorney general who has
rendered them, after his attention has
been called to his errors by district
attorneys, in the several counties, and
therefore I am firmly of the opinion
that the district attorneys should be
the advisors of the state, and the of-
flee of attorney general should be
abolished and thereby a large saving
to the taxpayer made.
I notice that In a large number of
the country papers the attorney gen
erai heads his advertisement by say-
ing, "if you want lower taxes and
lower living expenses, vote for A. M.
Crawford, the present attorney gen-
eral.

An Angler's Proposition.
Portland. April 4. To the Editor of
The Journal I would like to have you
print this so I can get it before the
people of Portland, and perhaps get
enough people Interested in this move
ment to get results.
I have been Informed that a very
large portion of the game and fish
funds are paid by Portland people.
Now, why can not the fish commis
sioners stock the rivers and slough
close to Portland with some good fish
other than trout? It does not seem
fair, to me at least, that so many of us
dig up a dollar a year for the privilege
of catching a few carp, suckers or
chubs. A great many of us can't af
ford to go after trout, as from my own
experience it costs about five times as
much money to get one trout as It is
worth, and besides we can't spare the
time. It is a sham that in a county
where there are- so many natural fish
ing places there are so few really good
fish to be caught.
I like to take my family on a day's
fishing end outing, and have purchased
a fish license every year for the past
four years, and I think we common
people have a right to some considera
tion. I would suggest that one-half of the
I fish license money paid in at Portland
be used to stock our waters wltn nsn
that are fit to eat. say catfish, pike.
ring perch, sunflsh and croppies. Close
the season on such fish as are left to
the market fisherman. I hope to hear
from others on this subject.
