OUEGOJT AND THE CHINESE
W
HEN, in his Oregon City
speech, Dr. . Wlthycombe
declarea that the Chinese
should have been ' kept in
Oregon to clear the. land, he over
looked the German peasant Immi
grants, who ' also are - splendid
clearers of land. " -..
The Germans not only, clear the
land, . but they build homes on It,
rear, honorable families, . support
the schools, pay taxes and be
come .thrifty and upright citizens.
. Dr. Wlthycombe, In his . plea for
the Chinese as. clearers of land,
overlooked the Italian peasants,
and - the Scandinavian, peasants,
and the French peasants, and .the
Swiss peasants, thousands of whom
are living on lands which they
have reclaimed by clearing off the
'forests!" They, . too, build homes,
rear : honorable families, - support
schools, , pay taxes and become
thrifty and upright citizens of the
state of their adoption : . . ; : . ,

In defending Dr. t Withycombe's
position with reference to the Chi
nese, the Oregon City Enterprise,
Withy-
he is wounded in battle. Great
aa has-been the advance in the
instruments and methods of 1 war-1
fare the efficiency of the medical j
department has kept pace. .Ty
phoid fever anddysentery are kept
down by prevention, and: skillfut
surgery saves v the lives of many
wounded.
It can r no longer be said that
disease kills . more . men ' than bul
lets. .. ' ' v ' ' 1 ' '.- "'J
k In tne fifteenth century , It was
only the nobles that first received
medical " attention. ' The common
soldier - was -left- to die on the
field. Napoleon, in' his campaign
in Spain, lost 60,000 soldiers in
battle .while 400,000 died of dis
ease and wounds. In his Russian
campaign nearly, half a million
men perished from cold and dls-j
ease. In the campaign of 181 3,
100,000 men died of disease. San
itary, precautions,- organized sur
gical and medical attention were
wholly unknown in those days. -J:
The. wonderful ,l progress made In
recent years in, the efficiency ot
the'; military' medical' corps was
shown lately at Vera - Crux where
only some half dozen cases of ty
phoid developed. -.
Through the increased efficiency
of the army doctor war has been
robbed of. some of its terror.

The point -is T that censorship
should not handicap itself. Too
much paternalism would bring pro
tests from producers : of: moving
pictures, and it might not be ac
ceptable to patrons of the movies
who think . they are entirely com
petent to decide between the rela
tive merits of acceptable produc
tions. 1 '

In your paper. - In the summer of 1913
The Journal and the Oregonian printed
stories ' from Newport, which quoted
Yaquina bay fishermen as saying that
they were unable to compete with the
alleged "fish trust"! for northwest
markets such as Portland. It was set
out in those stories that Newport hali
but, the finest flavored halibut known,
could .be placaA on the Portland ; mar-.
ketL within a few':h,ours: after being
taken from the sea; and that the con
trol of Oregon fish markets alone would
mean the employment of ,100 fishing
boats and 400; men at- Jfewport - Then
it was pointed -out " that practically all
the halibut sold In' Portland cathe in
cold " storage' and - were- secured 'from
Alaskan, ; or other waters; foreign ; to
Oregon. .'It was claimed that.' the alleged1-
trust ' had carried . on success
ful ut-pr!oe selling war against Ya
quina bay halibut every time attempt
had been made to open up this mar
ket. Captain R. E. .Voeth was author
ity for the statement that Yaquina
bay fishermen could not only supply
the halibut, but could furnish all the
market would take of other varieties
of -r wholesome fish that could be re
tailed at 7 to 10 cents per pound. The
only condition he made was that the
entire catch of each boat should be
purchased.
Some months ago the Southern. Pa
cific gave Newport and Yaquina bay
fishermen the same shipping rate to
transcontinental points, such, as Den
ver, . Omaha,' Chicago, St. Xioula and
New York, as is given shljppers of
frozen fish from Portland or Seattle
to transcontinental points, 1 $1.26
per 100 pounds. ' :
The rate on fresh .fish from Yaquina
bay to Portland is 6 cents per 160
pounds, which is as cheap as the fish
can be carried by water from Yaquina
bay to Seattle, and then reshlpped to
Portland ty rail. " v :-'
v In ; aiding the developments of the
lumber industry of . the Slleti and Ya
qulna: bay , territory,- the Southern Pa
cific haa granted a rate -to mills that
should .'encourage production. Trans
continental and coast points lumber
shipments from mills along the Cor
vallls fc Eastern railroad from Corval
Hs to Yaquina bay have been placed
on the same basts as Is paid by mills
at 'Albany-or other Willamette valley
towns. The same amount of money
will ship a car of lumber from Toledo
that will move it from Springfield or
Eugene.. .
: The Southern Pacific has also put
In a proportional tidewater rate in the
aid of mills situated in the Interior of
the state and which .wish., to make
coastwise or foreign lumber shipments.
It is not unreasonable to say; that
the Industrial development of west
ern Oregon has followed closely upon
Southern - Pacific activities, and that
this much-clubbed corporation may.be
charged with having exhibited a ' real
and abiding interest in the future of
