HARDING HEEDS WASHINGTON'S WARNING
It would have been easy for President Harding, in the re
cent strike disturbances, to overstep his "constitutional au
thority and usurp the power the the States in preserving
peace and protecting life and property. That power, once
assumed and conceded, would mean the devitalizing of State
and municipal governments, and .the weakening of the sense
of responsibility of the people for the kind of government
they have at the hands of their chosen state and municipal
officials. No act of President Harding means mare for good
government in America than his refusal to change the fed
eral constitution by usurpation. j
Under the flexible features of the new tariff law the Pres
ident can only act on the advice and findings of the. Tariff
Commission, and after July 1, 1924, no changes can be made'
in the tariff without the consent of Congress. This provision
in the present law will act only as an entering wedge. We
are coming to the days of the tariff scientifically made that
will furnish precisely the right amount of protection and the
right amount of revenue; and that will take the tariff jout of
politics.. But the fight Is not won yet. It will take years,
perhaps) to beat the idea out of,tbe heads of the profession
ional politicians ofihia country ithat the tariff must be kept
a political issycU " '
.... . In .his frequent manifestations of respect for the ancient
jo s landmarks of American government, President Harding dem
onstrates his wisdom as a statesman and justifies the confi
dence reposed in hyn by the people. He has never once lost
"f Eight of the fact that he is a srvant of the people
, Not their, master
And that the constitution measures his powers as it also
ixes his responsibility. The return to government by law
instead of government by individual ipso facto is the most
promisinjg as well as the most pleasing feature of our effort
to return to normalcy. The American DeoDle have the initia-
'tlve, the enterprise, and the resourcefulness to continue our
t marvelous development- as a nation unless their efforts are
T j hampered. by governmental repression or discouraged by a
socialistic policy which relieves the individual of responsibili
ty and robs hint of opportunity. The Harding administra
tion wisely instituted the policy of less government in bus
iness. . s :- . ... .;;' ' '
Because public discussion has most frequently directed
attention to George Washington's advice on avoidance, of
foreign entanglements, many people overlook other and even
more, important features of the famous Farewell Address.
Before speaking of foreign relations, Washington presented
two subjects which" he apparently considered more vital to
the perpetuity of American liberty! He first emphasized the
importance of preserving that national unity which con3ti
tute us one people, and then warned against the dangers of
usurpation of power. The -text of this portion of his address
full, J
I
is .welt, worth quoting in
i ): . j '
-lTt is Important, lil
likewise, that the habits of think
ing, in a free country should inspire caution in those
' intrusted with its (administratibn to confine themselves
I within their respective, constitutional spheres, avoid
ing; m the exercise of the powers of one department,
' to encroach upon another. ; The spirit of encroachment
f .tends to consolidate the powers of all the departments
rin'one, and thus to create, whatever the form of gov-
eminent, a real4 despotism. A just estimate of that
love of .power and proneness to abuse it which pre
vdomlnates in the human heart, is sufficient to' satisfy
.-us of the truth of1 this position. The necessity of re-"
ciphcal checks in the exercise of political power, by
. dividing and distributing it into different depositories,
. and constituting each the guardian of the public weal,
" "jaaihst invasions by the others, has been evinced by
experiment, ancient and modern; some of them in our
- country and under our, own eyes." To preserve them
must be as necessary as to institute them. If, in the
opinion, of the people, the distribution or modification
"of the constitutional' powers be, in any particular,
' wrong,, let it.be corrected by an amendment in the
( way which the constitution designates. But let there
be no1 change by usurpation; for though this, iiionef
Instance may be the' instrument of good, it is the cus-
tomary weapon by which free governments are de
stroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbal-
t ance; in permanent evil, any partial or transient Den
V ef it-whicH the use can, at any time, yield."

the fact- will remain that the
present state fair is the biggest
ever held, ana tne greatest am
beat west of the Mississippi in re
spect to exhibits and attractions.
That Is a marker for future fairs.
The exhibit of the Oregon Agri
cultural college at the state fair
is the beat and biggest ever Bent
by that institution. It is an edu-
cation, or rather the means of an
education, in itself. No one, and,
more especially, no farmer visa
ing the fair should overlook thi3
splendid exhibit;- nor fail to spend
all the time possible in studying
what it stands for in the develop
ment of Oregon's greatest resources.
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL
President Harding has again
given evidence of his determina
tion to fulfill party pledges to
the country .by calling a special
November session of congress to
consider the ship subsidy bill.
That this bill will meet; with for
midable opposition r is certain.
But it is equally certain that our
merchant marine must have some
form of protection and the presi
dent, at least." will do bis part
toward preventing the American
ocean-carrying traffic from dwind
ling down to its pre war meager
proportions.
Figures furnished by the United
States shipping board show con
clusively that without some- ex
traneous support our merchant
marine cannot compete with the
cheaper built, cheaper manned
and government aided carriers ot
Great Britain and Japan. At the
close of the war, during' the pe
riod of greatest shipping board
activity, the United States hanv
died 50 per cent of the world's
ocean traffic. At present we are
handling less than 35 per .'cent.
And the proportion is still on the
dawn grade.
For the good of the farmers.
the manufacturers, of every busi
ness that has goods either to ex
port or Import, the country mnat
keep its ships afloat. But for
more important reasons than
theie, for the national safety and
the defense of oar island posses
sions we must have a merchant
marine to measure up with our
national needs.
This country has (voluntarily re
linquished the naval ' supremacy
of the oceans which was ours for
the taking1 at the time we call!
the Washington conference. Do
Tre intend to supplement th'.a sac
rifice by placing our ocean carry
ing facilities in the hands 'of -commercial
rivals whom future world
changes (and no one dare proph
esy what rudden and unexpected
turn these may take) may con
vert into active enemies?
Before judging the; merits or
demerits of a subsidy bill every
community should ' remember
that, however far It may be 're
moved geographically from either
the Atlantic or Paciric seaboard,
nothing can happen anywhere on
the five oceans that will not in
some way or other affect its pro
perlty. .
Assuredly to -th nation - that
grows more foodstuffs and manu
factures more goods and so
needs more markets with t every
passing year, nothing more Cal
amitous could happen than to be
left for it3 ocean connections as
it might be in some new world
crisis to the tender mercies of
foreign rivals and competitors.
Legislation has already secured
through the tariff for American
producers and manufacturer 4
protection against the menace of
cheap forergn made goods. A
tariff to protect American mar
kets and a subsidy to protecV Xm
erican shipping the two appear
to be so closely connected that
those who favored the fin ought
to favor the second.
Naturally, states ordering
either the Atlantic or Pacific have
more direct and more patent
reasons for pressing the question
of a merchant marine to .ome im
mediate solution. But there is
no state between the Rockies and
the Mississippi, having, as every
ftate does, the future of the
whole republic at heart, that will
not feel a throb of new life in the
ocean independence only to be at-
tOned by hariujonicus effort to
build up a merchant marine for
America second to none that
navigates the ocean.

liners in the world. Were they
building for revenue only they
would divide the capital among

experience of fJiipping companies
shows that moderately sized ves

national pride before private
profit, and we can only hope that
the latter will be added to them.

Immigration has got back to
the volume it had in 1899. In
the fiscal year which has just
closed there were admitted 309,
000 immigrants; Probably there
would have been more if restrict
ive legislation had not been in
force. However that may- be, if
one turns to the pre war yeai3
he encounters the tiguresof 1912,
when the volume reached its
gretatest figurJy 1,218,000 and
has to run backward for mora
than a decade fo get ' a figure
comparable with the total of the
twelve months recently clored -211,000
in 1899..
A striking figure in the statis
tics for the last year Is the pro
portion of women; they outnum
bered the men, thus reversing the
usual state of things. There was
another novielty in the figures for
1921-22; for the first time Heb
rews constituted the largest num
ber of Immigrants belonging to
any one nationality, reaching a
total of 53.000. Besides, only
830 of this race left the country
during the year. Southern Ital
ians took second place in immi
gration, .with 35, 00; Germans
gained third place, with 31,000,
and the English number fourth,
30,000:
The net gain through Immigra
tion was only 111,000. Although
41,000 Italians entered the coun
try, 53,000 departed. Almost
twice as many Greeks left as
sought our shores and Bohemians,
Bulgarians, Poles, Portuguese
and Spaniards railed away In
greater number than they aprlied
for -admission.
When the British shipped cer
tain large consignments of the
latest and most approved war ma
terial to Baron Wrangle for the
recapture of Moscow they .ast
their perfectly good bread upon
the wrong kind of water. It has
returned to them after many days,
according to the warrant of scrip
ture, but by what an unexpected
channel!
For that most excellent war
material was captured from the
unfortunate Baron by the Bolshe
vists and by them transferred to
KemaJ Pasha, to be used by the
Turkish army. So It started off

Thli Is the day of organization.
A few years ago the farmers of
Kansas held their wheat for $1
a bushel. Now the loganberry
growers of Oregon have agreed
to hold their fruit next season
for a minimum price of 6 cents
pf quart. But a lot of things
may happen before, the next 10
ganberry season. Los Angeles

Not 6 cents a quart; 6 cents a
pound.
lSveryone who knows how good
loganberries are, and in how
many ways and respects they are
good, knows they are worth more
than 6 cents a pound. That price
is put forth only as a minimum
by the growers.

boys it is going to insure that
every gob shall have a girl con

As a starter the league has al
ready a(V-"rtired for 1500 girls
and needless to say the stock has
already been oversubscribed. For
where is there a lass that does
not love a sailor?
From the gob's point of view
there is only one fly in the oint
ment. The league will carefully
instruct the girls as to how they
must entertain their" guesta and
what points of etiquette should be

THE FALL OF SAMMY SPAR

"Yon come right In off that

peering down at the waterspout.
Sammy who hadbeen having a
lively tussle with a couple of
other young sparrows, looked up
saucily at his mother. "Aw, I
guess a fellow's got to have some
fun, he answered sullenly. "What
do you want me to le sticking
up there In that old waterspout
all the time for? I'm big enough
to get around myself now, I tell

'Well, you come back," repeat

was quite worn to a frazzle, poor
thing, for it was no easy job try
ing to raise a family in the city.

Time to Build Strong
It has come to be understood by most
manufacturers and distributors that a
Iarje volume of business at any period
of time is of itself no proof that the
business is built on a sure foundation.
The volume may be due to a variety of
conditions, and those conditions may be
temporary, and may be entirely out of
the control of those who enjoy them.
The only sure foundation upon which
a big business can be successfully built
is an undisputed consumer preference.
Let jlhat be present and it matters not
how: quickly a business grows, or how
big it grows, you have the assurance
that it is solidly built Ind that it will
not topple over when the first wind
blows.-
Advertising is the corner stone of the
structure of consumer preference. No
conspicuous example exists where there
is a steady and sure consumer demand
for any product that is not properlftlf'
vertised. Every instance that can be
cited of a consumer demand that is
strong enough to offset changing mar
ket conditions may also be cited as an
example of the effective use of adver
tising. The present business condition is a
challenge to every business that is built
on the uncertain foundation of a demand
due to a favorable state of the market.
Assuming that the strong demand of
the past few years, prior to 1920, was
a permanent thirtj, many manufactur
ers made provisions to supply the de
mand and reap a harvest of profits; but
they overlooked the importance of in
suring their share of the demand.
Now the great lesson has been learned
at a prodigious cost. The disposition
today is to build strong, to make sure
of the foundations before rearing a
great superstructure. In the long run
it will mean that all business will be on
a more solid basis, and less likely to be
upset by changing conditions. This will
be the great compensation for the stress
of the present period.
