"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

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. Im suffering today from the
possession of things f for which they
onrf. p toyed and fought. 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

ence. 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."

everybody knows that parasites do not

BUILDING MATERIAL IS
URGED BY BUREAU
:! $10,000,000 Gould Be Saved
by Using Oregon Products,
It Is Declared,
REPORT IS COMPLETED
Oregon Bnxean of Mines and Geology
Xeviews Work; Appropriation of
$50,000 Asked.
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

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. A notherv result Is

Subsidising roreign Industry.
Oregon -has long enough been a plum
for foreign industry to pick. - Khe has
subsidised foreign capital, foreign' la
bor, foreign electric power, foreign raw
material, foreign transportation, and
paid foreign profits Kng enough. Out
taxes, both local and state, inelode the
subsidy we have been paying.' Oregon
ought, therefore, to keep her shoulde?
