Entered at the Postoffice In Salem,
NOT A GOOD PLACE TO HEGIN
There is a general feeling on the part of the people of
Oregon that there must be a reduction of the cost of govern
ment, and, by the same sign, a reduction of taxes
But the slowing up of reasonable public school activities
and se lowering of the standards of school work is not a goodj
place to begin. j
A majority of the voters of both Portland and Salem
have, however, struck at a special tax that the directors
passed up to them as reasonable
And many who voted in the negative no doubt had the
thought in mind of recording a protest against any extra tax
ation at all, rather than the idea of depriving the public
schools of needed new buildings in Portland and needed de
partments of work and training here.
In Salem, the paucity of funds will be felt on several ac
counts, and chiefly, perhaps, because there will be a large in
crease of public school attendance next year
So there will of necessity have to be skimping and cur
tailing and doubling up in a number of directions to the det
riment of the service.
As was plainly shown, the rate of. taxation for public
school purposes in Salem has not been high, as compared
with other cities smaller than our city.
But this showing did not suffice to prevent the protest
against even a slight extra tax. .
This is the handwriting on the wall: There must be a
well ordered movement in Oregon for the cutting down of the
cost of government, all down the line in every single depart
ment. It should be sweeping and thorough, and well consid
ered, in order that injustices may not be done, and so that
efficiency may not bo crippled. It must be thought out in
advance, mapped and programmed and set forth plainly, in
order that the voters may have the proper guidance in secur
ing what they want, which is a lightening of their tax
burdens. . .
, If there is no well ordered program, they are going to
strike right and left; they are going to act like a bull in a
china shop, and many necessary and essential matters are go
ing to be injured, while some of the most undeserving and
non essential high costs are going to be left unscathed.
J'- The granting of the degree of doctor of philosophy by
the University of Pennsylvania on June 15 to Miss Sadie Mos
sell, a young Negro woman, is of interest apart from the fact
that she is said to be the first woman of her race to be thus
honored by an American university. She is a member of the
third generation of a notable American Negro family. Her
grandfather, Bishop Benjamin T. Tanner of the African
Methodist Episcopal church, has long been a well-known and
honored churchman and an editor and author of recognized
"iter nnrlp Henrv O. Tanner, son of the
bishop," is an associate
! a a.,mniu
i tho mnt famous
Luxembourg in Paris. Miss Howell's father is a graduate of
the University of Pennsylvania, and his brother is a graau-
w.f PKilnAlnhiA Medical college. Whether other
American Negro families could make an equally mpr""
exhibit of three generations of learned achievement would
be interesting to know. Many could show an equivalent rec
ord of sustained accomplishment in bearing their share of
- the work of the world in less conspicuous places. It is still
only a few years since the emancipation proclimation was is
sued and there is every reason for confidence in the future
for which it prepared the way.
"It is not happiness TrThaT'e 18 servants," philosophically
observes Mrs. Stillman. One doesn't even need 18 m order
to be miserable.
It la said that the negotiations
between the United States and
Mexico as to recognition are at a
deadlock. There Is nothing new
about that.

H Kit A I, IKS H VMS OF HATK
Headers of the WaMiinEton
Herald were well uigh stunned
recently by an editorial appear
ing in that japer. beginning
"If ever another war can be
justified; if a continuation of the
Kreat war is anywhere Justified, j
it will be, or Is. to completely :
wipe out or disperse the Turks.
so that there may be no nn--" J
Turkey forever. In Turkey was;
the tap-root of the j;reat war. ;
with other roots o," the Kam"
trunk extending all over Europe.
Turkey and the Turks arc just
what they always have been and
always will be. world without
end. One of the woist st-ains on
the history of Croat Hritain. as
the Hriti.-h admit, is her persis
tent dalliance with the Turk."
That a paper of such pacific
tendencies and such an interna
tionalistlc slant of mind as that
of the Herald should approve a
resort to blood and iron to wipe
out the unspeakable Turk, is a
tonishing. The Herald has teen
in the League of Nations the rec
tifier of all wrong. Can it not
bestir the Leacue to action?
The previous ocrnjiant of the
White Mouse has long boon the
idol of the Herald, and he is
largely entitled to the thanks of
the Turk and the criticism of
the Herald for the part he played
tn protecting Turkey. His 12th
point recited that "the Turkish
portions of the present Ottoman
empire should be assured a se
cure sovereignty," and that, with
the independence of Poland, was
about the only portion of the
14-point program which got by.
and the portion which Is raising
the most disturbance right now.
Even the Republican party was
not so blood-thirsty as to advo
cate the complete annihilation of
the Turks. The leaders of that
party merely suggested that Tur
key should be confined to Asia
tic territory. Hut Mr. Wilson was
so considerate of the tender sus
ceptibilities of the sensitive Turk
that he would have no war de
clared against that nation, and
his premature calling of the ar
mistice permitted the whole kit
and billn of them to escape the
punishments they deserved.
The Herald speaks truly of the
British stain, due to Great Brit
ain's fear of what might happen
to her Indian possessions If Tur
key was not supported as a set
off to Jtussian ambitions and en
trusted with the wardenship of
tke Dardenelles. Yet the Herald
has Insistently advocated, and
does yet, that the United States
entangle itself in a League of
Nations the members of which
have been par-boiled In problems
of this sort since 476 A. D. Now
It would put Turkey to the sword
Who has been feeding the Herald

Washington. I. C, of which Hon.
Jonathan Lourne. former United
Stated senator from Oregon, Is
president.
The people of the t'nltcd State
have no right to demand that the
Turks be wiped out or dispersed,
"so that there may be no more
Turkey forever."
Hut they do have a right to
demand, as The Statesman has
contended, that Turkey be pre
vented forever from persisting in
murdering Armenians. They have
a right to expect this, in the
legitimate pursuit of her imme
morial idealism by ihe United
States government; by tne Am
erican people before they organ
ized their government.
It might take no bloodshed.
Hut If the enforcement of the
order that should come from the
American people to Turkey to he
decent and respect the amenities
of civilization should take dras
tic action, the American people
would be following only their im
memorial precedents of idealism
in applying that force: to the
necessary limits to secure implicit
obedience to that order.
THK II KJII WAY 1'ItOltI.KM.
The Manchester (X. H.i Mirror
calls attention to the fact that
"two thousand years ago the Ro
man empire put down stone roads
that Its leeions mltht, dlsrecard
ing weather. niarrh to war.. Some
of these roads are there now and
in good condition. Four or five
years ago. or less. Xew Hamp
shire put down roads of other
forms of material and construc
tion and they are not there nnw
The auto and the truck have
plowed and harrowed them, th"
contracting firms and profit-taking
alone enduce." The Mirror
is an advocate of cement high
ways. It is a pretty expensive
first-cost of construction, but It
will probably pay in the long run.
particularly if the advice on this
subject contained in the first ad
dress of President Harding to
concress. Is followed:
"There begun a new era In
highway construction, the outlay
for which runs into hundreds of
millions of dollars. Hond issus
by road districts, counties and
' states mount to enormous figures.

outlay that it in vital that every!
effort shall be directed against
wasted effort and unjustif iabl
expenditure. The federal govern
ment can place no Inhibition oa
the expenditure' in the several
states; but since concress has em
barked upon a policy of assisting
the states in highway improve
ment, wisely. I believe, it can as
sert a wholly becoming influent
in shaping policy. I know
of nothing more shocking than
the millions of public funds wast
ed in improved highways, wasted
because there is no policy of main
tenance. The rteglect is not uni
versal, but it is very near it
There is nothing the congress ran
do more effectively to end this
shocking waste than condition all
federal aid on provisions for
maintenance. Highways, no nia
ter how generous the outlay for
construction, cannot be maintain
ed without patrol and constant re
pair. Such conditions insisted
upon in the grant of federal ai.1
will safeguard the ptUdic which
pays and guard the federal gov
ernment against political abuses
which tend to defeat the very
purposes for which we authorize
public expenditures."
To authorize large sums for
highways without making ade
quate provision for patrol and
maintenance is a folly whichTinds
no favor in those European coun
tries renowned for their highway
systems.
ITALY AT WOKK, IlKIXsIUM

There were 1193 corporations
newly, organized Italy during
1920. with a capital stock aggre
gating 1. 654.384. 000 lire (about
$330,000,000), and 767 corpora
tions increased their capital stock
by an aggregate of about S6S4,-0-J0,ffo
for the same ye'. On
the other hand, 190 corporations
whose capital aggregated $27,
500,000, dissolved, and decreases
in capitalization of jj corpora
tions amounted to S-'l.OOO.QOO
This leaves a net Increase in cap
italization lor the yerr of about
1 967,000.000, 53 per con', of the
increase being recorded during the
first six months of the year. We

TOESDAY MORNING, JUNE 21J1921
Across the wide plains with our slow

We stirred up the dunt like a cale:
Uut with joke and with jet and our
I eyea to the went.
We followed thu Oregon trail.
'Till we reached :n the diatanoe with
little remnlance
The laud where the mountains prevail;
Where the river ull flow Irom the gorgea
of allow
W mini aight of the Oregon trail.
Ttorc the peaks are so logh that thev
puncture the ky
And many a alar they impale.
Till lliey draw from its field a bright

There are canyons so deep and big uioun
iHlllh ko kteep
That Ihe light, at midday, would be

Hut ttje stars and the aim they unite as
but one
To light up that wonderful trail.
Oh, those mountains were cast in the
lar away past
On such a magnificent scale,
Uut the architect left a mo.t generous
- I. tt
As a gap for the Oregon trail.
Where the song of the breeia through the
quivering trees
Is pitched iii a monotone scale.
Yet the cataract a roaring and geyser's
eiploding
Knliven that musical trail.
Hut the so i ft run ning rivers, they gave
us the shivers
Like a quakenasp tree in the swale.
As we worried across with great danger
of loss
On that wearisome Oregon trail.
Then the Indians ruse gave ui spells of
the blues.
As they crept throush the brush like
a snail.
Or boldly came out with a whoop and a
shout
To scare us from that dangerous trail
Oh! the people who traveled that trail
were a marvel.
Their courage and hope would not fail;
And seldom they grumbled as the big
wagons rumbled
Along on that tiresome trail.
So seldom they rested, their eodoranre
was tested.
Like a ship that outweathers the gale.
For their goal was ahead where the sett
ing sun'a red
Was glimmering at the end of the trail.
The only regret that we'll never forget,
Was that medical efforts would fail.
And tombs must be made and some forma
. must be laid
By the aide of that sorrowful trail.
Uut the spirits of those whom we left
in respose
(No matter how much we bewail).
Were freed from their share of the worry
and care
We endured on that hatardoua trail.
These pioneer men from the plow and
the pen.
And tho workshop with hammer and
nail :
The singer with odes and the lawyer
with codes.
All mingle alike en the trail.
The country school teacher, the old vil
laee preacher.
The scholar from Harvard or Yale.
All suffered alike on that memorable hike
O'er the rocks and tbe bumps on the
trail.
They were nature's great noblemen, wise
as Solomon,
for in nothing were they found to be
frail;
