Commissioner From Oregon
Is Factor in Industry
WASHINGTON. Sept. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
JOErRNAD-Clyi B.- Aitchison of
Oregon, member of the Interstate com
merce commission, is one of the lead
ing figures Ib the Industrial situation,
the mas to whom all complaints about
ears and Ucic of cars and car distribu
tion sooner or later come.
As a member of the president's com
mittee on fuel distribution he is asso
ciate with Secretary Hoover, Federal
Fuel Distributor Spencer and others
who by a voluntary organization have
sought to work out the necessary pri
oritiesfor coal with which to keep the
railroads and industries of the country
running. As commissioner In charge
ef the car service section of the inter-.
state commission, he has direct juris
diction over the application of the
remedial measures.
. The commission has been granted
wide powers over car supply in cases
of emergency. To prevent chaos and
favoritism, and to promote the most
essential industries, the commission
stepped in some weeks ago and de
clared;, an emergency on certain east
ern lines to advance In particular, the
shipment ef coal, which ' was then
being . produced in a small section bf
non-union territory. The Great Lakes
region was an especial cause of anx
iety, as the bulk . of supply has to
reach Lake Erie before the naviga
tion season closes.
Later on the situation tightened in
the west, which led to the more recent
declaration of an emergency as to
lines west -of the Mississippi river.
Here the great seasonal pressure for
crop movement is beginning. Fruit
shippers from the Pacific coast have
been having difficulty securing re
frigerator cars, and the grain growers
of the hard wheat belt are apprehen
sive that they will not be able to se
cure cars for surplus that must be
moved if it is to be saved.
So the story goes from one day to
another. No sooner has one gap been
filled than a more alarming one ap
pears. Bituminous mines are running.
but railroad equipment is not in the
best of shape, and in many Instances
the "bottle-necks" leading from the:
mines are congested. The amount of
coal that can be shipped out measures
the relief that can be afforded, not
the quantity that is mined.
It Is with this continuous problem
that Commissioner Aitchison has to
wrestle from day to day, hearing coin-'
plaints, studying reports on conditions,
conferring with other officials as to the
moat effective mesaures, meeting
members of ocngreas who want in
formation! about this and that, particu
larly what answer to give inquiring
constituents about car prospects, con.
suiting railroad executives who come
to lay conditions before him and ex
plain their difficulties. So on, while
the day lasts.
Mr. Aitchison took hold of the car
service section when it was much less
important than . now. Congress began
to see the Importance of it and began
legislating, somewhat timidly, toward
authority in; the commission that would
enable a central government -authority
to-glve directions in the public interest.
"That is ' the central thought of pri
ority- the supply being short, the
neediest; shall be served first. So food
for man, food for stock, perishable
commodities, and fuel, take first rank.
Remove that, the outlook of the car
service section goes to the total avail
able supply, where its main constitu
ents lie. and . how to shuffle traffic
. around to release the greatest number
f ears at the places where they are
most .Beaded. It calls for an analytical
mind, one familiar with railroad prac
tice, and one who knows geography
and mere or less of the ways of na
ture Ship Subsidy
In General Practice
WASHINGTON. Sept. 9. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
; JOURNAL) That this is a world of
subsidy for ships, with all the leading
maritime nations doing it, summar
c lies a statement of the Rational Mer-
chant Marine association, telling of
what other countries are doing.
The aid is extended in a variety of
ways, sea bounties, loans for ship
building, subventions for carrying
mails, and other devices. Thus, Italy
restricts immigration to Italian-flag'
vessels, subsidizes vessel owners, and
- has granted 65.000, 000 government aid
to builders for a four-year period, the
private owners obligating themselves
to furnish J100.000.000. She is "balanc-
lag her fleet."
France is , restoring sea bounties
aggregating $13,000,000 a year, after
selling her government-owned merchant
ships after the war for about $80 a
ton. Sfle is also to receive two large
-liners from Germany on reparations
' account, which will be operated to
- India and. China.
Japan made a loan of $125,000,000 for
V- Ship construction, saved from battle-
: ship costs by the four-power treaty.

Farm Bloc Splits on
McNary-Smith Bill
WASHINGTON, Sept. I. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
JOURNAL) The farm bloc in the
senate failed to put up a solid front
for the MeNary reclamation bill when
hat measure was brought to a test by
Senator McNary. In fact, the chair
man of the bloc, Seantor Capper ef
Kansas, while not voting, because ef
the absence of his "pair." lined up
against it, announcing that if per
mitted to vote he would vote "no."
Of course there was no obligation
on Mr. Capper to vote for it, as the
farm bloc declared no policy on it,
and he, as chairman, called no meeting
to consider taking any position. It is
not known that anyone even asked him
to do so. Senator McNary was satis
fied to let the bill stand or fall with
out seeking a farm bloc indorsement.
Nevertheless there has been some sur
prise that Senator Capper would go
against the bilL
Two reasons are assigned for his ac
tion. He is believed to be doubtful
as to any particular demand for it
among the former service men of Kan
sas, in which etate there is little pros
pect for any irrigation or drainage
district of consequence, leading to the
argument that legislation of this kind
is likely to decrease the population
and available labor of Kansas in favor
of other states. Another argument be
lieved to nave weight with aim was
pne persistently used by his colleague.
Senator Curtis, that the reclamation
amendment would enhance the danger
of a presidential veto of the bonus.
Other members of the farm bloc who
went against the reclamation measure
were Heilogg of Minnesota. Swanson
of Virginia, Townsend of Michigan and
Willis of Ohio, making a fair-sized
hole In its membership. As a matter
of fact, the bloc has not been very
active since Senator Kenyon retired
from its leadership and from the sen
ate, and Capper was made chairman.
Few meetings have been held, and no
particular program or concert of ac
tion has appeared.
This is explained away on the ground
that for the most of the time the tariff
bill has been before the senate, and
there has been no particular call for
activity. During the tariff fight the
field was occupied by the "farm tariff
bloc," which is quite a different af
fair, but functioned In the name of
the farmer. It was comnesed entirely
of Republican senators.' headed by
Gooding or Idaho. It asked for and
secured .the highest rates ever levied
as protection for the products of the
farm, failing only on hides and one or
two minor articles.
It Is understood that the farm bloc
will take a vacation when the ship
subsidy measure comes along, also, on
the ground that this is not an agricul
tural measure. It is evident that there
could be no unity of action among its
members, those residing in the coast
line states being1 generally for it, and
those further inland for the most part
against it.
But the bloc still exists, and Senator
Capper threatens to call it into action
when the favorable moment arrives.
This may be in support of his "truth-in-fabric"
bill, which has been dammed
up behind other measures, and cannot
hope for consideration before the regu
lar session.
Idaho Congressman
Has Responsibility
WASHINGTON. Sept 9. (WASH
INGTON BUREAU OF THE
JOURNAL) Representative Addison
T. Smith of Idaho has been advanced
to the chairmanship of the committee
on irrigation in the house, succeeding
the fate Moses P. Kinkead of Ne
braska, who beaded the committee for
many years.
Mr. Smith's advancement puts at the
head ef the irrigation committees of
both houses the men whose names are
associated in the McNary-Smith recla
mation bill, which Senator McNary,
chairman of Irrigation and reclamation
in the senate, succeeded In having at
tached as an amendment to the soldier
bonus bill.
Representative V. J. Sinnott of Ore
gon was next in rank on the house
committee, but he has a more import
ant chairmanship. the committee on
public lands, which he naturally pre
ferred to retain, as no member may
hold more than one chairmanship. He
remains as the ranking member to
Chairman Smith.
While Mr. Smith is one of the young
er members of the house tn years, he
has been serving continuously since
1913 and for many years before that
was in Washington as secretary to the
late Senator Shoup and subsequently
to the late Senator Heyburn. As 'a
boy he came to Washington from Ohio,
and he has alternated between this
city and Idaho ever since. Only two or
three men now In congress were serv
ing here when the Idaho member be
gan his labors as a clerk on Capitol
hill.
The largest job ahead of the irriga
tion committee in the near future Is
the consideration of the Swing bill for
construction of an Immense reservoir
in Boulder canyon to store the waters
of the Colorado river for purposes f
irrigation, flood prevention and hydro
electric development. It is expected
that bearings will begin this month If
congress is in session. The project
has been studied by Secretaries Hoover
and Fall and by famous engineers,
who have pronounced it feasible. - All
of Southern California is interested,
and other states as well, as the plan
contemplates the use of waters which
flow through several states.
, The Swing bill, so named for Con
gressman Swing of El Centro, Cal
proposes the expenditure of J70, 000,06
for the construction of a dam and
works, to be repaid in a term of years
from"' rental of power and receipts ef
irrigated lands. One prime purpose Is
the t protection of the Imperial and
Palo Verde valleys of California from

production of nearly? J79.000.00O, or

TELLS HOW SHE
WON SUCCESS
Miss Johnston Applied Business
Principles to Business and
Found Victory Was Her's.
By Telia Winner
The old saw about a. jack of all
trades being master of none may ap
ply to Jack, but a Jill has been found
who is mistress of every one she has
turned her hand to, and that's several.
Mi as Elisabeth M. Johnston, who
conducts beauty shops In both the
Portland and Multnomah hotels, qual
ifies as one of Portland's most suc
cessful and versatile business women.
"O, I had never thought of it in just
that way. but I did earn my first
money as a country school marm in
South Dakota, and I have done a good
many things since," said Miss John
ston. "My next job was a particularly
interesting one, and I learned such a
lot, too ; I was private secretary for a
railroad official in Minneapolis, and
my duties included the hiring of help
and the purchasing of supplies to feed
5000 men.
WORKED Tjr 5IW8 STAITB
"When I came to Portland I took
the first thing that came to hand, and
that was the newsstand In the lobby
of the Benson. There, too, I learned a
lot. especially about human nature ;
but I was anxious to get into business
for myself. When we entered the war
my opportunity came. I got the occa
sion to conduct a store and the post
office at Joyce, Wash., the headquar
ters of a railroad camp, and one of
the big spruce camps. I opened a
typical country store, selling every
thing from hay, grain and feed to
army supplies, men's ready to wear
clothing, and jewelry. I had 14 clerks,
and kept my store open from 7 in the
morning until midnight. My entire
stock was trucked in over terrible
roads for IS miles.
"My teaching knowledge came in
very handy, for we had in camp a
great many illiterate mountain whites
from Kentucky and Tennessee. As I
didn't have much time for teaching,
I read and wrote their letters for
them, but I did teach scores of therm
to wjite their names. You see they
had to be able to indorse their checks,
or what would have become of my
business?
BTJSIXESS FBISCEPXES HEEDED
One day I went Into a beauty shop
to have my hair dene, and as I talked
to the girl and noticed people coming
and going, it struck me that it would
be 'a profitable business If business
principles were applied. Most beauty
shops are conducted by women, and
comparatively few women have busi
ness training, hence both the propria
tor and the patron suffer. X sought to
put my shop on a real business basis,
and I feel that I have succeeded. In a
measure, as I started two years ago
with a small shop and two girls; to
day I have two0 shops, IS girls, and am
manufacturing IS different toilet prep
arations, with selling agencies in
Washington, Idaho and Montana, as
well as Oregon.
"The most interesting arrS amusing
thing in the beauty shop business Is
the declaration of every woman who
comes in to have her hair dyed be
she 20 or 60 years old that her hair
turned gray when she was 16. Six
teen seems to be the fatal age. The
comment is often made that women
don't seem to be dyeing their hair as
much as they used to. But the truth
is they are dyeing it more than ever
before; however, hair dyeing has got
ten to be an art. Hair can be dyed
any one of 20 6hades now, and dyed
bo well that it isn't easily detected.
K50W8 VALUE OF DRESS
"Who is the best patron of the beau
ty shop? The business woman. She
realises that being well groomed is a
real commercial asset. We all know
how much easier and more pleasant it
is to talk to a person who is well
groomed and who has a dainty, spic
and span appearance. Men know the
value of personal appearance as wo
men do not. For years men have had
their massages, their shampoos, their
tonic rubs and their facials ; women
are just beginning to know their value.
"Married women make a great mis
take In evec feeling that the race . is

many are the Indifferent skins that

I believe In "women doing anything
and everything that will make them

Teaches Religion at, Horn to His
cnucrea.
Beaver. Or.. Sept- 1. To the Editor
of The Journal I will say I have been.
a stodeat of tne puouc ana private;
school question for some time, and my
honest opinion is that, as a true Amer-i
lean citisen. I can find no fault with
the proposed compulsory education btlLi
I believe In the divine right of every!
person to choose his own religion. It
IS wrong to take children trom tne puo
lio schools and keep them In a sectarian
school where they are taught religions
that are autocratio aad an U-America
Oive them a publlo school education
until they are 16. or have completeq
the eighth grade, that they may leani
Americanism, then they can choose
their x school for higher education. If
they are brought up. in the sectarian
school they know nothing but their re
liglous prejudice.
Why do you want to keep the chil
dren. from the knowledge they get tn
the public schools? The religious edu
cation Is one thing, and the jomraoij
school education is another: The state
has charge of one, the churches thf
other. They are, or should be. separ
ate, aa church and state are separator
"Render therefore unto- Caesar tne
things which are Caesar's ; and unt
God : the things that are God's," the
Master said, and it is the divine rule
to follow In matters of state and
church.
You say this bill seriously curtails
religious liberty. That is the same old
argument the ealoona made. Person5
al liberty, they cried. This bill says
nothine about your religion, or any
one's religion. If your religion wijl
not stand the publie school it is a poor
article. Many are So blindly prejuf-
diced that they cannot see the diffeiK
ence between their religion and the
publlo schools of Amrlca, You say the
bill Is "unconstitutional," that the con
stitution grants you the "liberty tio
worship God according to the dictates"
of your conscience. Nothing interferes
with you In doing that in this biif.
Can't you worship God in good con,'
science and let your children attend
the public school? If not, how can you
worshio God with a good conscience
In this republic? You say the bill is
"a terrific blow to personal liberty.?
Under such reasoning every law enactj-
i. fit Vilnw r runnal HbertvJ"
You reason like this, "I own my child! ;
I can WU it if I want to. or starve it.
and abuse it as I see fit ; that is my
ncrunal liberty." Is that your idea
of personal liberty? If so. your Amf
icanism is very piror quvj-.
"I own my child ; I can keep it from
the American free schools and have ja
religious school for it, in which I cap
have it taught things anti-Americaft
or what I want to. and you destroy my
personal liberty in preventing me from
this." i
Is that your idea of personal liberty
and religious freedom? If so, you need
to learn the first principles of Amer
icanism. In the United States of Amer
ica and the state of Oregon no man has
the personal or religious right or U
erty to morally, intellectually or phys
ically Injure his own child. j
In putting children in a school where
they are taugHt along certain lines and
deprived of other knowledge needful
to make them true Americans is
wronrfullv treating them. It is under
mining the government that protects
them and ought not to be tolerated by
the state.
The religious schools that give the
one sided education is what makes the
"religious intolerance which exists
among many of our citizens." I
A religion that cannot stand enlight
enment and knowledge gotten from the
Americanism taught In the public
schools should be abandoned for a
better grade, a grade that will makt
a good 100 per cent American.
I shall vote S14 X Yes for true citl
senship. I have two boys and two girls
in the public schools. I am proud of
them. I am proud of our public
schools. I teach Christ to them it
home and read the Bible, the tsiessea
Book, to them every day, and teach
them to be true Christians, which will
make them true Americana '.
God bless our homes and public

grand, and glerionx mess we soortals
make ef it! If the controversy. ever
th school bin. which in waxing warm,
but causes as to do some real thinking-
oa the fundamental nature ef these
three things, it will not have been In
vain. Would w but live our religion
and our patriotism we would be less
suspicious of one another ; if we better
understood the real nature of educa
tion, we would pay more attention to
the child himself, we would seek the
counsel of genuine rovers ef children,
refusing to be buncoed by the harangue
ef the vote-getter. In my sjnion, the
enactment ef the proposed compulsory
school law would be retrogresslvie,
from an educational standpoints -The
public school is what it- is because it
has profited by. the experience -sf an
open field. Many valuable courses
have been available In private schools
before being adopted generally in the
public school. This is true especially
in industrial and commercial .lines. The
private school. . particularly the non
sectarian school, is dependent upon
public patronage ; it therefore seeks
innovations, and consequently is an
important experiment station ' in edu
cational methods. Frankly, I believe
that our children have too much
schooling, and too, little real educa
tion. We hear too much of "passing"
and "failing," not enough of the joy
of knowing and, doing. There is too
much pressure toward standardisation,
too little attention to individuality. In
a realm where freedom and liberalisa
tion are so much needed, why place
further restrictions? Moreover, free
dom of choice festers pride, buoyancy,
mental alertness ; compulsion engen
ders at best arrogance, in general,
compliance, submission, - glumness,
stolidity. We are all reasonably fa
miliar with the difference between the
two types of character, American and
Prussian. Do we wish to 'develop citi
zens of the latter type? I am sure
we do not, and I do not believe we
wish to enact a Jaw in Oregon' that
would have a subtle but none the less
positive tendency In that direction.
As to the patristic motive involved,
I cannot but feel that we are serving
our country best when we are striving
to promote essential democracy ; and
that 'implies unity, not uniformity. The
spirit of democracy impels the
seeking of fundamental likeness, not
emphasis of differences ; it inspires
persistent endeavor to cooperate, and
the exercise of faith in our fellowman.
Democracy is1 friendship enlarged.
Times are troublous, to be sure, but
I fail to see 'any exigency that can
rationally be met hy the political ac
tivity of organisations excluding all but
Gentiles. Protestants and whites. What
should we do , with a Rabbi Wise, a
Cardinal Gibbons, a Booker T. Wash
ington? What should we do with the
thousands of our citizens who within
their class follow such leadership?
Should we push them into the sea?
How can democracy be served by the
employment of undemocratic means?
Have we reached a place where we
mistrust democracy itself? If I read
the signs of the times aright our vsry
existence as a nation depends upen
our being more not less truly Qemo
eratie. With , due respect to those
whose opinions differ from mine, and
who conscientiously defend them, I am
constrained to believe that the passage
bf the school bill would add another
inglorious act to the many committed
in error against religion, patriotism

WHY OPPOSE IT?
Portland. Sept. 7. To the Editor of
The Journal r The Oregonian has
broken its silence on the single tax, A
leading editorial on the question in -its
issue of August 29 is entitled "Impu
dent Propaganda." Instead of discuss
ing the question on its' merits it re
sorts to sarcasm and abuse. The Ore
gonian complains that having the sin
gle tax on tiie ballot at various elec
ios has cost the tax payers thousands
of dollars. Yes, but the deep seated
injustice that single taxers are try
ing to get the people to destroy Is cost
ing them not thousands, but millions
of dollars. If the single tax is wrong.
why does not the Orepronian show us
were it is wrong? Why does it not
point out the fallacy it says the single
tax is? It would be doing us a great
favor by setting us straight in the
matter. If it is Impractical why do
those who are reaping millions of
dollars of unearned wealth so bitter
ly oppose it? The appeal of Henry
George and his followers is to the
heart, reason and conscience of the
people. They propose an orderly and
lawful change., They believe the rights
ef property afe sacred and that they
should not be violated by taking the
things produced by labor for public
expenses. The values created by pop
ulation belong to tne people and should
be used for publlo expenses. Henry
George mastered his subject. His
books have been published in the lead
ing languages of the world, and large
numbers of eminent and honored peo
ple . have favored his proposition.

people of this state carefully investi

NO HOPE FOR THE FUTURE
Portland. Sept. 8. To the Editor of
The Journal Your editorial, "The Age
Old Problem," In the issue of Septem
ber 5, has for its tocsin, "The true place
to reform the divorce evil is to apply an
earlier and more aggressive education
of xouth ea the sanctity, the gravity,
the responsibility and the tremendous
realities of marriage." It is said of old
that "What therefore God hath Joined'
together let no man put asunder."
Is It not true that most of the marri
ages are where the parties are un-.
equally joined together from a material
as well as a spiritual sense? Is It not
possible that a pretty face and a shape
ly leg hastens a proposal made on the
moment that otherwise would not be
considered? it seems idle for mere
man to offer admonition where the
word of God has been given to man
and woman that they should walk to
gether as a complement to each other !
to live a life of Joy, peace and happl-
58. l see no future lor man-made
marriages, as I know it is better to
trust in . the Lord than to put confi
dence In man. J. H. Upright.
