upon the man before be detected their
approach. Fouf hundred and forty gal
lons of corn mash were destroyed and
a large quantity of first. run and five
gallons of the completed "moonshine,"
wth the stllL were loaded into an auto

was fined $200. He paid the fine at
once, taking tbe money from hiss sock.

Inquiries Propounded Concerning the Re-
,- vivai oi uie-scneme. . , ;
Portland, Dee. " 28. To the Editor of
The Journal It seems hardly possible
that people who only - two months ago
were advocating ' the Swan island real
estate scheme, which would have in the
end probably involved the taxpayers of
Portland to the extent of $50,000,000, are
now "up in arms" over the prospect of
having to "jay only $K0Wp0O for, a county
hospital on Marquarf htU. Tdday we
marvel thatSfiBMalttee 'oflS of our
leading besiness men, and that three of
our. city dailies advocated the Swan
island proposition, or that anyone should
ever . have thought the people of Port
land would approve it, or that emas
culated at the eleventh hour, it should
have -ieen accepted by. the people by
even a 5 per cent majority. Yet it ap-"
pears that a new Committee, by the de
ciding vote of its chairman, has again
revived the scheme and is proposing to
have thejegislature provide for the pur
chase of Swan Island In the so-called
port consolidation bill. Why Is It that
the exact terms -of .this proposed bill
cannot be ; given publicity before the
legislative delegation passes on it? Why
can w not have a bill squarely granting
tne desired funds to the Port of Port
land for the dredging of our river chan
nel, without weighting it down with a lot
of . other uncalled for provisions? The.
Port of Portland is a creature of the
state,! whose members are elected by the
legislature. The dock - commission is
controlled by the city and Its members
are named by7 the mayor ; and the voters
of Portland, who pay the bills, are. the
oniy ones w-no nave a right to say what
money it shall. have and how It shall be
spent.; Why consolidate it with a state
commission, and give the voters of the
whole state the right to vote a tax on
Portland of which the state at large
pays no part? Why should-our city dock
system be'- made the football of politi
cians In the state legislature? What is
gained by this proposed consolidation,
anyway? Both the Port of Portland and
the dock commission, working separately,
have done excellent work. The port has
specialized on dredging and pilotage and
general channel, problems. The dock
commission has specialised on the con
struction and operation of our city docks
and on waterfront problems. The two
commissions have worked in perfect har
mony and nobody has ever yet explained
how consolidation would promote their
efficiency or save the taxpayers a single
dollar. At Swan island we have a 80
foot channel already, that government
engineers located. Ryer pilots and
steamboat men testify? that while a
straight channel Wouid' be preferable,
there have been - no casualties in that
channel. . What the river men and the
deep sea shipping men want is a clear
30-foot channel In the lower river. None
of them is excited over the east channel,
and the conditions in. that channel have
never deterred a single , ship, so far as
the public knows, from entering this port
i.neni .wny continually ..complicate the
problem of getting a safe and clear chan
nel to the sea by the constant injection
of this Swan island scheme? - Let us
confine ourselves to the single problem
of giving the port money enough to clear
the channel in the lower harbor, where
the serious ' obstructions are and where
the shipping men wish the money spent
This is no time for; any man or any
community to spend money for what is
not an immediate need. It is no time
for the use of catch phrases about
swamps" and "smokestacks" or for re
ferring to a number of our most progres
sive citixens as "moasbacks" or "kickers"
or "pessimists." It is a time for squarely
facing facts and soberly considering the
unsettled financial conditions that are
facing the whole country and that bear
directly, on all our local problems.

E TEACHERS' TENlifRE LAW
opposition to ! Proposed Amendment
I Thereto Is Here Voiced.
Porjtland. .Dec ' 22. To the Editor of
The Journal I am not going to enter
Into a discussion of the merits or de
merits of the teachers' tenure law, or of
the pjroposed amendment thereto, but I
think! the proposal is premature and in
opportune. TJie teachers seem satisfied
with the law aa it Is, and the people can
111 afford to further incur their dissatis
faction. Tha desired ends can- be ac
complished, or , nearly so, as . it now
standa. The common. laws of the land
can each school teachers as easily as
any ther class. Besides, we would not
and ; iould not afford to use 'any more
stringent laws in this relation if we had
them So why spend time and money
creating jthem? ,
In (The Journal has appeared an au
thoritative statement that there was an
actual shortage in the state of 600 teach
ers besides other 600 unqualified ones
now teaching In Oregon. Why such a
disgraceful state of affairs? Any suc
cessful business man will tell you we are

in sufficient numbers; he will tell us to

One correspondent stays : It' is up to
the people to express themselves." What
does he suppose they are doing now,
when they deliberately employ 500 un
qualified and Inefficient teachers and
let 600 schools o without them alto
gether. . If not asserting themselves, and
it is being done contrary to school law
besides. Who compose (this bunch of
unqualified teachers, anyway? While I
was a country school director an in
stance came under ' my j observation of
One who procured la pernjilt to Jeach and
when it came time she tpok the examina
tions and failed,, but nevertheless got an
other permit -Any respectable teacher
probably beats none, and under stress of
war conditions this was justifiable, but
now it Is not ! The practice is being
abused of issuing, permits so promiscu
ously to unqualified teachers. Nearly all
of those permit; teachers are compelled
to teach for the smallest salary, and
many of them are frozen in to do the
janitor work of the school besides, for
the minimum wage. A large number of
the country school districts seek cheap
ness rather than efficiency, some of the
directorates being composed, of unedu
cated people, opposed to modern methods.
I deny that school teachers can in
variably get a square deal from either
the school boards or their superior Offi
cers. I have positive knowledge where
at, times they (officials and. directors)
have preferred to cater to the vote in
stead of to the best interests of the
schools. School teachers don't; have the
support, from the people that is' due
them. 'Next to home and parents, school
teachers have more to do with, shaping
the destinies of our children and conse
quently that - of ; the nation ' than any
other element ; . .
Who else but i they, during war times,
didn't take Advantage Of the situation
to boost 'their salaries and create other
Conditions favorable to themselves? Why
didn't they do so? . Their inherent 'love
of country and : the philanthropy natur
ally a part of people who adopt school
teaching as an 4 employment restrained
them. I think the same qualities can be
trusted still. M George Cochrane.
THE NORTH DAKOTA BANKS .
-History of Farmers' and Bankers' Laws
and How Each I Worked. -White
Salmon, Wash.. Dec. 23. To the
Editor of The JournalLarge headlines
have appeared in the. papers all over the
land announcing that the anarchistic
laws of tha North Dakota Bolshevik! have
caused the failure Of 22 banks. But Jet
us see. Let us-have one short look at
the truth,
The farmers of that state saw that to
rescue tnemselves rrom an unbearable
economic situation they' must get into
politics, and to get into politics they
must organize, which j they did. And
they took the state government out Of
the hands of corporate interests and
their tools, the politicians. But they did
not enter county or municipal politics.
Counties and municipalities are still in
the control of tha old political and finan
cial gang in North Dakota.
Among other good laws, the farmers
established , a state-owned bank. The
law establishing : this bank required all
state, county and municipal public funds
to bo deposited in the state public bank.
This took the .control of credit out' of
the hands of the North Dakota Bankers'
association, and : put ii back into the
hands of the people. The state ; bank
then redeposited: these funds in the
smaller private ' banks? where : most
needed. . j '- ;

people suffered ia crop failure this year.
To help tide them over, the state bank
rede"posited in Western banks more funds
than the Western counties and munici
palities had deposited with the estate
bank through these small local - banks.
Don't fail to gt that point the state
bank redeposited most funds where most
needed. -a r -' -' ''- ' -
Now. the. North Dakota Bankers as
sociation foughtj the establishment of the
state bank. Tldey tried to have it re
pealed. Fail ing in this. the bankers
placed upon the ballot in November an
initiative j measure .making it optional
whether or not Icouhties and municipali
ties deposited jtn the state bank. , The
Non-partisan league j opposed ; the
measure. I The "bankers knew that- they
could handle county and municipal poli
ticians, though they had lost control of
the state government They knew that a
sudden removal of these deposits "Would
force the state Tank to close, and that
if the state bank should fall they them
selves would Again control the credit
situation I within the state,- and could
boost the current, rate ot Interest back
to where It was before the farmers or
ganized. !: j.
The, measurer was voted upon and
passed. But the bankers, in their , seal
to, destroy, the j people's . bank, took too
much rope, got " tangled up in it -and
hanged some, Of? their own number In
stead of the state bank closing its doors,
it at once called in its loans.
And the result was that those banks
which had received deposits from the
state bank greater than the deposits of
county and municipal funds deposited In
the state bank . through these private
banks, -failed ; that is. if a county sent
through a local Ibank $4(10.000 to the state
bank, and then jthat local bank borrowed
$500,000 from the state bank, when the
bankers' law passed, the county of ficials
called urjon thai state bank for the -100,-
000, but instead! of closing Its doors, said.
bank called upon the private bank for
the $500,000. And over 20 banks closed.
These private banks were members
of the association which- introduced the
bill. And now j they claim that the peo
ple of North Dakota are anarchists and
bank wreckers Let us all laugh.

ARRAIGNS MODERN HERODS
Charges That Reactionaries Are Seeking.
v Life I of Democracy.
Portland. Dec. 31. To the Editor of
The Journal l"For God so loved the
world that he gave his only begotten
son." "That ye might have life,
and that ye might have it more abun
dantly." ' ' : ; : .. ". ''.
The -story eff thf birth of Christ; is
the greatest story ever written no mat
ter what your , faith may be. or what
.your viewpoint of history, either profane
or Bacred l whether such a'man as Christ
ever lived, or whether It is pure sym
bolism.. If it be the fancy of a poet.
It embodies in it all the lessons of the
struggle between democracy and autoc
racy, between light anl darkness, be
tween progress and atavism, . Detween
love and greed. And for that reason it
is truth.
The story tells us that the world was
looking for the birth of a new Ughf
of a new, freedom, of a new democracy.
The fact that ithe world was looking for
it was : the most significant fast of all,
for that slmpfle iact was doubtless the
mainspring of its origin.
But whence was the : new child to
come? The wiise men discovered It first,
following the star until It rested over
the manserMa Bethlehem. ' .
And why a j manger? : Simply because
all new moral light all fundamental
democracy, springs from the common
people. Later on we find Christ a
carpenter, a workingman. - -
Rut the most significant, part of the,
story is that the wise men told the king
of this new blirth of freedom and then
fled.- Then the king ordered the de
struction of every child, that he might
get this one child, born in the 'manger.
Why did the king tremble? Was he
&fraid of the common people of this
workmgman of this.carpenterT If so.
why?
Christ may
not have been a political
leader In the
sense In - which we use
that term today, but the story says he
came to bring! life, end to bring it more
abundantly. Some people say that refers

the king trembled, just as all kings do
when their thrones are in danger. He
sought to stamp out the new idea by
suppression. He did just what the kings
of today do when they seek to stamp
out the people's power by ; slaying the
innocent . .' t 'j. . :
In the Oregonian, i notice It Is stated
that some members of the I incoming
legislature intend to introduce measures
calling for the abolition of the 'right
of the people to Initiate measure (con
trary to the wish of the monopolist
the modern king). This is in order that
they may reach the child in the manger.
The object of their aversion Is the single
tax. They will slay all the other 'chil
dren of democracy, known as direct
primary and recall, and will hamstring
the initiative, in order that the j new
freedom shallj be unable to express itself
at the polls. They are doing just what
Herod did. They are seeking the young
child'e life. J. R. Hermann. "

really how much sympathy is due people
who will deliberately deprive their own
community to .give to) another the suste
nance so-sorely redded here. -. Not a ra
tional t person in our entire population
ever again wants to see such times here
as we had through the period extending
from 1911 to 1915, but if Portland peo
ple will insist on scattering theirmoney
abroad as Is now being done, we shall
certainly have a return of the dry-rot
period Just mentioned. Then real estate
was not worth owning, reijts not paying
the upkeep, ajpd 'our industries consisted
of a 'string of ordinary repair shops. The
foundation tone of prosperity is Indus-;
try. but thl foundation stone costs
money and is well worth the price. ,
- Money is actually taken, out of this
city to- finance industrial concerns all
over the East and we see right here at
home meritorious propositions- begging
for weeks for. the capital that will add
immensely to i our own ; payrolls. - Why
is this? Probably because, as of old,
the pasture just beyond seems greenest
There Is, too, a valuable lesson. here
for our banks. Home industry will add
immensely to bank 'deposits, both com
mercial and savings'; so why cannot the
bank officials have for our struggling
manufacturing concerns more thiiiv an
indifferent. helping word? i
Portland money will make of Portland
the , .success it should be ifj it t Is in
vested here, at home, and not (otherwise.
A successful (Portland means successful
banker; workers, professional men,
merchants, capitalists and an. From
this time on let us look after our own
first: for if we do not, who will? -i
