"DEMOCRACY'S ACID TEST Froblsma Faced Today Are More Im portant and Momentous Than In Any Age of Our BUstory. I- "Ifi the politicians would prevent Socialism, they muet study poverty and Us cause; they must understand that crime In the product of social and political conditions which must be 'eliminated at the fountain head. Rep- ree ntatlve government Is now under going Its acid test In this country. Our : social. Industrial, mechanical ahd re ligious conditions are so different to- j - uav ruin mone 01 jesieruay mat i old-fashioned, politician and priest are! rnnde i to stand aghast before them," declared Dr. Frank C Loveland at the JTrst 1 Methodist church last night as ,. the- kmynote of his sermon on "The Politician, the Problem of Public Et- . f Icleney." " "KmerKon said that America was God'sr last experiment In government for the human race.' continued the preacher. "le Tocqueville said that American democracy was but an ex periment that had not yet proved It self capable of solving democratic problems. If these statements are true. It fs the part of wisdom for both church affd state to take their latl tude In, the interest of safety and ' "progress. 'Bhall this government of the people, by the people and for the people perish from the face of, the earth T Is a question of deeper mean- ' ing today than when spoken by the immortal Lincoln by I the bloody bil lows Of Gettysburg. Problems Are Momentous. "'The politician of today faces prob . lems oif demot-racy more important and more nioriifiitoiis than n any age of Our. history. The nation, like the chiiri'hj.

We now have Wealthj, mi inkers, power and prestige, . but df lwve; not n yet been aide to apply these poMensIon to the neces sities "of our modern civilization. This i Is an age of altruism.; The age which , democracy and Christianity were born to" serve. The Issuesjof one national life are so closely Interwoven that no department can be exploited at the expense of the rest without danger to all. i "Potli the ehurch and the state today are standing at the Infinite crossroads -one which leads to monarchy, tyranny and slavery, another leads toward a"ti- srehy.ln the state and infidelity in I the church. Hut, thank God. there .opens before us the highway of na t tlonal hoi I news which leads toward real representative government for the state, an real altruistic Christianity for the church, and into the latter path . humanity Is sweeping! with tremen dous strides. People Study Politics. "Representative government has been going to school. The American people today are studying politics and poli ticians, and tney are asking some ex ceedingly pertinent questions. They are demanding an accounting of stew ardshlp from public officials. They have good and sufficient reason for this study. The cost of living has been lifted by invisible hands. To whom do -these hands belong? "We. are finding that someone Is binding ligatures around our national arteries which are affecting the heart beat of the nation. We are finding out Just who it Is. We have discov ered that our courts are entansrled in . the -meshes of precedent and bygone .traditions. , - .'..."Efficiency Is the keynote of 'mod ern life. This cannot beccured under the management of Inefficient and un qualified 'men. The hue and cry for 'reduction in taxes, that results in re duction of salaries of public officials, siniply means that Inefficient men will , 'alone seek and assume official bur ' ' dens.. t i ' Spectacle Is Traglo. ' "Great orrorallons employ only .' killed and hlghlv specialized men to manage their affairs.: and they' pay salaries to correspond with the task. But how often citlesj counties and states are humiliated, or disgraced, by tnen of no business training, little knowledge, no experience, whose pre vious activities have been confined to .a thousand dollar Job. ; but' by the ac rldent of politics have been elevated - to the management of a tiinn.on mtt- - lion dollar corporation of the public or sit In letri.lutlv. v.. 11. n, .V. , ' to guide a state or nation.

Therefore the people hav begun to look into things.' The X-ray' is being used, the searchlight is being turned on, the magazines, the Chau tauqua ' platforms, conventions and some of - the modern pulpits are warning the politicians to 'flee from the wrath to come. Efficiency Zs Demanded. "The people are beginning to Inves tigate certain 'pork barrels' and 'jack pots' and 'sugar bowls' and 'coal bins." Proud banking institutions and great insurance companies have not es caped this prying habit of the public. The result has been that there is a new shame stealing over us as a peo ple. A new pity is swelling In our hearts. -A new hope, a new lave and. a new faith are taking possession t democracy. - . j "Progressivism is a necessity. Like the old abolition movement, it waitg the coming of another Lincoln. We be lieve in it, but it should no more be made a party shiboleth than should the Lord's prayer. fj "The demand on th nnlltlptnna tv-: day Is for public efficiency rather than party loyalty, that the subject of pub lic health, public safety and public morals shall take precedence of party spoils, place hunters and political chair warmers. Efficiency demands that antiqnuated governmental machinery shall be trundled out like wornout fur niture. It will mean . that the poli tician, must study crime and Its treat ment and discover that crime la the product of social and political condi tions, which must be eliminated. Must See Handwriting. "Our politicians must study and re member this or Socialism will take the reins into its hands. The politician must about face and seek to prevent; rather than to punish. Our statute books are already cluttered with in numerable, laws of asslnine parentage, generated in the interests of ward politics and the 'scurvy' politician. "Today there i3 a demand for funda mental efficiency in the management of public affairs, and the people are ready to spend money for these things. If the millions of dollars now wasted in the building of political fences could be expended In the prevention of pov erty, crime-and disease, the mlllenium would dawn. We are wondering whether Belshazzar will read and heed, or be turned out 'to grass." Sermon Brings Two Convicts. Two -young women were converted yesterday at the First Methodist Epis- copal Church South as the result of the closing sermon of a series by Rev. Lovlck Pierce Law on "Holv Spirit." Mr: Law took a rap at non-observance of Sunday. The sermon . was a plea d! for a return to the Biblical standard to a life that would give right to criticise. i "It is Impossible to lift an; higher spiritually' than to the ion which one lives," he said. any one level One must live higher and set an example. raising a standard - which . will help men and women to see' that you have been with Jesus."

It is time for Oregon to use more of the building materials found in the state and reduce the bill of about $10, 000,000 for building materials bought outside the state, believes the Oregon Bureau of Mines and Geology, which has Just completed its report to the governor, ana tne legislature. A-re- ,ew OI tne worK r tn commission as 1 described in the report has been pre pared by. the chairman, H. N. Iawrie, and it reads as follows: Oregon is importing vearlv about 110,000.000 worth of building materials upon which the freight amounts to no less than $3,500,000. On all public buildings and civic Improvements tbe People are paying the interest on this 5,aou,uo. nave already paid the prin cipal, and will continue to have to pay the principal if -none of this importa tion is eliminated The internal rail roads of the state have been extended rapidly and if these materials were produced here it would build up a freight tonnage on local lines which would ultimately reduce the present freight rates. It is apparent that local production increases the labor market locally. It is equally evident that if the former statement be-true a larger market for locally grown agricultural products is created. , rarm Drainage Considered. This bureau has made a thorough study of AA'illamette valley lands and found' that comprehensive drainage systems can be installed with better crop yields in this section. The clavs in this vicinity are suitable for the manufacture of tile. The cost of drain age will range from 810 to $40 an acre. There are. according to Gov ernor Withycombe. 4.00,0.000 acres of land in western Oregon which should De drained to nrine it to the inchest state of production.

Resulting from this development there would be: - 1. A local market for supplies- cre ated to the extent of 150.000.000. the labor payroll. 2. A tile industry tnrnlnar out $.33. 000.000 worth of tile, wherein at least one-half is in terms of labor or $1. 000.000 more "would be available for buying in the local market. 8. The investment of capital In tile plants of $4,000,000 or thereabouts with n tax value of one-half, which would be eouivalent to the tax on 80.000 acres of land, at $25 an acre assessed valua tion, this addition to the tax income would materially reduce the local tax ouraen. 4. The crop returns would be in-i creased from 20 - per cent to 60 per, cent of their present vield. 1 Gold Production Gains. The gold production or Oregon for this year will be ,verv close to $2,000. 000 according to present estimates. This i-hows an increase of about 200 per cent over anv year for the past two oecades. About -one-third of this gross yield is in terms, of labor and another third in supplies. Therefore, approxi mately $1,333,000 Is absorbed by local farmers and tradesmen. -At no time in the history of Oregon mining since the early fifties has there been so great an awakening in her metal production, and J am free to state that this is but the fore-runner of a development whU h will eventually put Oregon oi a plan with the most wealthy metal-producing states of the union. Those who are In touch with the feild work and publications of the btireau are willing to give credit to the state organization for having con tributed no small part to this advanced rectal production. Since these publica tions have been prepared by the best mining talent that could be procured and since they contain nothing but the unvarnisned truth concerning our min eral resources, thev nave been most stimulating both to the investment of Ioal capital and in attracting capital from sources outside of the state. Quarry Industry Important. There have been five miiirries opened in Oregon as a direct result of the fcureau of Mines and Gologv investi gation and the publication of volume 1 No. 2. of the 'Mineral Resources ot Oregon" whioh is a review of the ouarry industry.
