The flocks of tariff lobbyists he-
; ?gg congress and get ting what
-y want is not Mr. Coolldge's
. r inula of "Industry ' for ferries."
The enormous toll they are going to
lay upon the country is "industry
for exploitation. i j j
. The plan for a sales tax proposed
doubtless tn entire good . faiih, ' Is
not ."Industry "for serylcs'. tut in
dustry, f or . exploitation,' i ' The
country thrived' as . sever, before
without a sales tax. It thrived aa
never before with only a moderate
tariff.' Why, then, tariff that.
so far as manufacturing industry Is
concerned, goes far beyond the
Payne-AIdrich law, which President
Taft, in hia Winona speech, declared
In some respects to be "indefens
ible"? ' -
The proposal to use public money
direct to make the business of ship
Owners pay, is not a proposal for
Industry "far service.? It is ja ter
rible confession for the owners of
ship lines .to, claim that they cannot
compete with, other nations unless
the , government of the "Jnited
States pays them money .out of the
public treasury. If it isn't uncon
stitutional it ought, to be, for our
government to set - out to Imake
business good for shipowners : by
collecting taxes from - the, rest of
the people and .appropriating them
for that purpose. -. i 5 j
Haa anybody in the government
proposed to appropriate public
money as a subsidy to make farm
ing pay T "'Ii there any Industry , In
America': that hasr suffered more
from governmental deflation than
the farming industry? ITetjJwhat
would be said if the president , of the
United States were to recommend a
direct subsidy for agriculture ?
JSi anybody at & Washington ad
vocating a subsidy fori American
workers?. On the contrary, the
power of: most of I the authorities

Doubtless Mr. Coolldge is entirely
sincere. If he is he 'should urge
his views very strongly on the ad
ministration. : If .he is not, ii must
be said of him that he is doing far
better toward avoiding the flood of
opposing votes that is threatening
the administration than his as

sible. - . '',- ! ' . J '
The truth is that the Democratic
party in this state '.was disorgan
ized and incoherent before the di
rect primary came. So was the
Republican party. In his ) great
speech before thTrtland iVhloa
Republican club . in . 1909, 'judge
McGinn discussed this phaseof the
direct; primary. He- said'i -V, 'J' '
It has been charred tonirht ttiat th
primary law has disrupted the Repub
lican party. I deny it. ; The Republi
can party was disrupted lon before
the direct primary was ever dreamed
of or .heard of. Tou cannot deny it
Let us be honest with ourselves and
each other. In all the political history
of this state, the voters of Oregon
have declared in a presidential elec
tion for the Democratic nominee but
once, and that was In 1868 whea Hora
tio Seymour carried the state over
General Grant
During the same period we have had
iO governor of , this states, yiv of
these governors have been RarebHcana
snd five have been Democrats. Of
these five elected as Democrats, three
were re-elected for a second term. Of
the five elected , governors of Oregon
as Republicans, hot one was ever re
nominated or re-elected, and all of this
long before the direct primary was
ever heard of. Does this mean noth
ing to you? The trouble with the Re
publican party of "-Oregon Is that ft
was toe large, too unwieldy, i
For many years past, we have had
no minority party In this stats at all.
There was no minority party, i
that would have put the Republicans
of Oregon upon their good behavior.? -
Judge McGinn, recited truthful
history. The Democratic party lost
its great prestige irii I IT 8, fit was
utterly disrupted . when Governor
Penaoyer, s Democrat, went over to
the Populists in, the; 80's, carrying
with him Democrats by (thousands.
Many- of these Democrats -later
joined the Republican party; ; Since
that time the Democ ratio party haa
been bu"ra remnant of Us former
self . nd the- Republican party has
been bo unwieldy-and been so bold
and arrogant' by its overwhelming
numbers .that ft -has misruled the
state-whenever It was In full .con
trol, and . split Itself , Into warring
factions at frequent intervals.
As Judge McGinn says,- all this
was going On "Jong before the di
rect primary was ever heard of or"
dreamed ofv j', : , -
The present "disparity" between
the parties ia a calamity ; to , the
state, but, as Judge McGinn says,
it was not caused by the direct primary.-1

- The iour-power sav&i. treaty is not
a magic wand by which Filipinos can
obtain independence. This, in ; sub
stance, was President Harding's reply
to the Philippine mission, as it is, also,
the attitude f those American papers
which oppose the separation movement.
Supporters of the Filipinos, however
and they seem to constitute a majority
of the papers commenting on. the matter
contend that a discussion of the four
power, treaty In relation' to Philippine
independence Is beside the point that
the issue is merely one of good faith
and fulfilled promises, y.
e ' t .
"It can be' said safely." the Boston
Poet InL Dem.) tbinka, "that, inde
pendence for - the .PhiUppInea le no
longer a distinctly political issue in this
country." : The New.: 'Haven Register
(Ind.) recalls that "Democrats from
Bryan down 'have professed to differ
violently from the Republicans on the
Philippine ' issue.' ' But the recurring
Filipino : delegations ' to Washington
have ' had. nothing more from Deno
cratic presidents than from Republi
cans, unless it be in promises, ain$ the
itew York Call (Soa) notes that Presi
dent Harding has given the latest mis
sion the ; same reply that "Filipinos
have received from Roosevelt. Taft and
Wilson. r Nevertheless, editorial opin
ion seems fairly divided on party lines,
most of the support of the independ
ence movement comins from Demo
cratic papera " s. .' J ? .
The Knoxville Journal and Tribune
(Hep.) asserts, however, that if any
partisan advantage ' attached - to the
matter ft would have'rested in com
pliance with the request of the dele
gation from the Philippines," and "de
nial of ithis request will . no doubt be
made much of by Democratic spell
binders , between now . and fall.. But
the! refusal was made, , in the opinion
of writers who: approve it because the
situation is in no way changed from
that which has dictated the American
position for a decade. 'There is noth
ing', in, the four-power- treaty, the
Grand Rapids Press 'Ind.) points out,
-"which says that the Philippines, once
removed from American control and
made an independent nation, would be
included under its provisions. Even
if it contalndd aucb a rtroviaion. the
Philadelphia Public ledger (Ind.yaddsH
It could have no immediate application
to ithe question,: since "most of the
participating nations have not yet rati
fied the treaties agreed upon."
- "The Philippines are' American terri
tory and there is no good reason why
they should not remain so." asserts
the; New; York Tribune. (Rep.), whch
interprets the toiovemenfi or independ
ence as "largely the-work, of a mall
political class which1 aspires to make
an experiment in nationalism for which
the: people of the islands as a whole are
not prepared." - Precisely because the
United States has had-enough experi
ence with that kind of nationalist as
pirations the Memphis Commercial Ap
peal (Dem.) advocates" caution in the
matter ef turning, the Philippines over
to ithe natives.. "The example set by
Cuba,' it thinks, "cannot be considered
any toe promising and no one can deny
that the Cuban people were much, better
fitted for self-government when this
country withdrew after the war with
Spain than the Kiliprnoa are today." In
the opinion of - the . Lansing: (Mich.)
State Journal CInd,) untries under
the control of a strong -civilized power
such as the United States are usually
far happier and certainly safer than
when they possess the so-called lib
erty, and since "the Filipinos now have
share in their own government," and
!have progressed and j prospered," the
paper asks. "What more can they pos
sibly; wish for?"
V 'f -j .? ' ' ; - - '
'.But that they do desire more seems
to vbe -the inescapable deduction from
the continued agitation. While the In
dianapolis Star (tad Rep.) Is confident
thatfhe Filipinos, as President Hard
ing assured them, wll JMt be kept un
der our flag against their own desires."
it f till feels that "we owe It to them not
to east them adrift? until they are amply
prepared for such action." and Tt con
tends V that ;we, not t a few agitators
inlManlJa, are to be judges on that
point. -Th ere, however, many writers
disagree.- declaring that such a policy
Raven ample room for "hypocrisy and
humbug., as one paper suggests, by
a perpetual postponement of the dia
eovery that the proper degree of "fit
ness", has been achieved: The Fili
pino delegation would be Justified, the
Hartford Times (Dem.) believes, lu
"demanding to know who has author
ised anyone' but themselves to deter
mine the question of fitness," and pat
ently, the paper continues, the deter
mination of that conditionals "a rather
delicate matter, particularly when the
deciding nation stands en the principle
that every people has a-right to Inde
pendence and freedom."
- That difficulty should have been niet
In the legislative promise to grant free
dom to the Filipinos, the Newark News
InA.) thinks, and it was a great mis
take that "the legislation did not of
fer a method whereby .they might de
termine at the" proper time whether
they desired independence," for "it is
easy to imagine the effect that may be
produced on the ardent independents
continuously to jbe put off with the
promise that If and when the propcr
time comes, the islands, will be, given
their full freedom." Particularly, the
Norfolk Virginian Pilot , (Ind- Dem.)
adds, when with that .familiar "some
tune" is coupled, as the president has
done, 'the suggestion that progress in
fitness for independence might result
in developing , relationships .between
America and the ytlrpinos" such that
the Islanders would no longer consider
separation desirable - The effect, the
Dee Moines Register (Ind. Rep.) says
flatly., "will be insurrection In the
Philippines. It may not come at once,
but it will come." - ; -
" -: : ,:Uci-
Amerlcan public ; opinion does not
support the theory-that "once the flag
is run up. rightly or wrongfully.- it
must stay," declares the Columbia (S.
C) State (Dem.). and the time has
come, the Chattanooga News (Dem.)
contends, "to fix a definite time for
withdrawal of American control.1 That
tune, asserts the Bay-City (Mich.)
Times Tribune (Ind.), is now. and "the
Filipinos should be given their -freedom
without further ado." -

LEADERS WHO 'ABOUT-FACED
Republican Committee Resolutions Text
for a-Comparison of Records.
Klrkford, June 29 To the Editor of
The Journal I have read the Repub
lican state central committee's resolu
tions indorsing the Harding adminis
tration in its entirety and compliment
ing' him on taking the initiative in the
disarmament conference. Are they not
appropriating honors not justly due?
This the following historical facts will
prove. ' 'I would refer the Republican
state central committee to Theodore
Roosevelt's address to the Nobel prize
committee -at Cbristiania, Norway,
May 5, 1910, to be found on page 9303.
Congressional Record of that year,
wherein he" asserts that rulers or
statesmen should bring about com
binations ef nations linked together,
with Xorce behind them, to "maintain
peace without armament. . Such a ruler
would have earned his place in history
tor all time and his title to the grati
tude of all mankind. Again. Roosevelt,
in a series of articles in 1915, published
in the New York Times, set forth his
conception of a league of nations so
constitutedVwith force behind it,; that
a like war pould never happen again.
In the same strain of thought, did not
Lodge in an address to the League to
Enforce Peacev and to Union college,
state that it would be a trtme against
civilijation If a peace council was not
formed, with Such force behind it that
such a.war eou"d never happen again?
- Wilson must have got such an asso
ciation of , nations in the League , of
Nations when it met the approval of
Hughes. Taft and Root, three of the
most able jurists in our land, and all
Republicans.! In doing such -, noble
work Wilson was opposed in' every
conceivable way by Roosevelt, Lodge,
Harding and the Republican senators
of the- round robin. , Now they give
their leader great credit for calling a
disarmament conference, when disarms
anient was the kernel, of the League
of Nations covenant. v
jAnd : J ! ask them if, rln sanctioning
the Harding administration, they are
looking out for the rights of their chil
dren and their Children's children by
upholding , the administration in the
seating of" duly tried, convicted, and
sentenced men ia the senate. There is
not an American with reepect for the
spirit of i7C i and our national. ' emblem
that can do it, by whatever party.

MORE OR LESS PERSONAL
Random Observations -About Town
When Tom Boylan was a kid. Just a
few years ago, and began to perfect
himself in horsemanship he ft early
evolved one cardinal axiom in his. ele
mental code of safety first.: He fig
ured it out that if a calico-eyed pinto
pony started to roll for a few hundred
feet down the side of a Umatilla county
canyon with him there wouldn't be
much danger of getting hurt as long as
he didn't let the blamed thing roll on
him. ' And when he forsook the hacka
more for-the steering wheel he carried
this axiom with him from the saddle to
the. gas buggy iie drives which ac
counts for his having a mere scratch
oh: his nose and Mrs. Boylan none at
all. Tom went down to Tillamook to
breath the salt sea breesee and cele
brate the Fourth.- While he was com
ing back he met. a rampaging Packard
coming up the grade, the pridef ui driver
.of which was crowding tne more sum
ble ears off the right of way. - Tom,
being a cowman, knew from ex'perlence
there was no use trying to out-butt a
bull, eovhe edged his own car off 'to
the roadside, onto the edge of a seem
ingly substantial and friendly fill. But,
it wasn't It caved off, and Tom and
Mrs. -Boylan started sidewise and over
and over for the bottom, many uncom
fortable feet below. And 'there was
wheret Tom's axiom stood him and his
life's companion in good stead.' :'. He
grabbed her, ducked under the steer,
tng wheel, braced himself against
the sides, , and "tet'er- buck." f After
the' machine had sunftshed a couple
of tiroes, and rolled-over f our it , landed
bottom up on the edge of a field.
Tom. pulled Mrs Boylan out from un
der, 6a w' she-was all rights wiped the
blood -off the bridge i of . his beak, and
hailed a passing farmer. Between the
Jwo of them they rolled his buss bdggy
over a; couple rnore times until it stood
onitafeet in the field, then Tom stowed
tbe .battered T top in the : back . seat,
"stepped on it, and drove on to Port
land, , Which seems to prove the axiom
that: you can't get hurt if . you don't
let 'em roll on you. In the-meantime,
while getting the auto's top- put back
on, Mr. and Mrs. Boylan are staying
at the Imperial. , j
