THE STATE TRAINING SCHOOL FARM
.I
-r
There , were two ideas in'
to give! the state training school
. home 4 ' "--., '
:f ,rIlrst, the idea of establishing the "cottage system?" that
is erecting and furnishing a building for each "family" of 50
or less boys, graded mostly as to age, and thus putting around
the boys a semblance of home conditions with a "family" man
ager taking the place of the father of the family, and his wife
giving the mother touch to the life of the large family. That is
the ideil system; it should have been provided for from the
'first. But a semblance of that system has been earned out
in that) institution' from! the day it was opened, and is main
tained there now. ; It is admitted, (however, that the present
buildings were not, constructed as they should have been, to
lend themselves to the perfection of that scheme, It.contem
" plates the separation of the "bad" boys from the "good" boys,
' sd that Ithere may be as little contamination of the "good" by
the "bad" as is possible. ; That is desirable. But even in the
cottage system there will be assemblages of the whole student
body at times, in drills, games and entertainments, and the like.
The main thing to prevent contamination is the constant vigil
ance of the officers; the men and women in charge of the boys
in school and work room, in" the dairy, on the farm, on the play
grounds, in the dormitories everywhere. Such constant watch
fulness, and supervision is Necessary now, and it will be neces-

sary under thecottage system
matter of course. But let that
to better accommodate the "cottage system" are desirable.
The cost seems large to pay ; but such considerations are above
price. And the present buildings and land can be used to advantage-by
the state, with the constantly increasing population
of the different institutions here that will remain a fixed charge
upon the taxpayers of Oregon.
- Second, the idea of making the institution partly or wholly
self supporting, by providing land more suitable to" cultivation
by the class of boys in the state training school, and to be sent
there in all the joming years. ,
r When this matter was first before the Board of Control, an
expert' in such matters, Earl Pearcy, madea survey of what
might be done far this respect; with the use of, say, 600 acres
of suitable land. . This survey was made at the request of Super
intendent Gilbert, at the suggestion of members of the Board
of Control. :, , a ;: , -v ' ' ,
' Beginning with a certain acreage of gooseberries, the first
crop to be harvested in the spring, and running through straw
berries,; cherries, loganberries, raspberries, blackberries, pears,
apples, peaches; walnuts, filberts, etc., it was shown that there
might be a picking season of around six months of the year,
in thework of which the boys of the institution might perform
practically as much work as the same number of adults, in a
given; number of hours of work each day and they could also
do a great part of the work cultivating and pruning and spray
ing and of the milking and feeding of the dairy herd;, and of
feeding and attending to the swine and poultry
I And other farm and, garden work. They. would become ex-
perts in these linesvhvith thfr proper direction j someth in g after

cultural college. It would be a good thing .for the boys ; it
would-be a good thing for the taxpayers. It would lead to

SLUtSRALL'S ADVICE
Thomas It. Marshall- was vice
president of the United States for
eight years, and had ample oppor
tunity to study American life. He
has come to the deliberate con
clusion that one of the greatest
evils In America today Is the Ig
norant balloC and side by side
with it is the ballot not cast at
all. Mr. Marshall has put his fin
ger on the sore spot of America
One is to have an intelligent bal
lot, and the other ia to have ev
ery citizen vote.
Mr. Marshall's long public ca
reer has convinced hira that the
unintelligent ballot Is a menace to
good government and is the weak
spot In democracy. "I should like
to see," he said, "the -right of
casting a ballot limited to the men
and women of the, country who
have brains enough to know what
they are voting for."
The theory upon which the elec
tive franchise was spread broad
cast in this cottatry was that, all
considerations weighed, it would
be better to give every adult,
barring only the criminal and the
insane, the right to cast a ballot.
and trust to the diffusion , of edu
cation to fit him for the perform
ance of that privilege, 'than to
grant to individuals or boards the
hazardous power to sort out the
non-voters and the voters. I
It must, be confessed that the
resuWa have not fully met the ex
pectation. Education has fitted
minions or voters for the intelli
gent and conscientious exercise of
the ballot, but it is the deplor
able and undeniable fact that mil
lions of others, from ability to
read and a superficial understand
ing of public questions, have ac
quired only a smattering of knowl
edge and a' confused understand
ing that might make then easy
dupes for demagogues and foolish
zealots.
A FKAXKLIX BEQUEST
Benjamin Franklin spent much
time In England from 1757td
17C2, representing the American
colonies. While here he placed
one hundred pounds in the hands
of , members of the Society of
Friends as a trust, to be invested
with accumulations, for not less
than one hundred and fifty years.
Thereafter at the discretion of the
rustees, awards were to be madn

valuable contribution' to science
considered by them either manu
script or published, on the subject
of cures, but particularly In rela
tion to surgery, the nervous sys
tem and part "mind treating"
have in the recovery and preser-
vation.of health.
Announcement is now made of
the first awards from this fund.

LETS GO
Mayor Geisy has signed the new
anti-gambling ordinance, which
makes easier an enforcement of
the gambling law. The Oregon
Statesman noted that there were
few changes in the ordinance and
these few, were for the better.
Mayor Geisy is preparing a pro
gram of law- enforcement which
promises to get results. In this
program he has the right to ex
pect the support of all law abid
ing citizens. - The Oregon States
man is glad that the gamblin: or
dinance was strengthened. There
has been such gross violation In
this city that, people have been
crying out - In protest. Mayor
Geisy and fctf' police force now
have an effective weapon, and In
using it they are entitled to the
support of the good people of the
city.
There is nothing to this cry that
we have heard about shutinc off
all Innocent games. That is al
ways the refuge of the man who
wants to make sentiment against
all such laws. This law is against
gambling, not against innocent
eard playing, and It is one the
people have a right o have;
ABOUT BIGHTS
Every once in . a while a r man
will coma out and insist' that he
has been '- Imposed upon by the
automobile drivers. There Is col
or of truth in all these accusa
tions, but as a matter of fact, the
pedestrians have their own respon
sibility'' which they unload on
the.1 driver,; and assume1 too
little Ihcmseives " ' Thero' l is ' riot
destrian takes desperate chances
that should not be taken. He does
this because he thinks the auto
mobile driver will look out for
him. ,The drivers do the best they
can, but both sides shou'd be vigi
lant, and if both sides were vigi
lant, mighty few accidents would
occur.
G'OOSEIIEIUUES I'AY
; A few weeks ago. In Its Slogan
number on goosfberries. The Ore
gon Statesman proved conclusively
that the gooseberry industry was
one of the most promising in the
country. . Since that time v grea
deal of publicity - has been given
to this. Industry, and It Is now
known to -be one of the best crops
that can be produced in tho Wil
lamette valley. We just happened
to pick up a Portland paper the
other day, and we are pleased to
find this notice:
Kails City. Ore.. Feb. 3. The
profitability of gooseberry culture
on a considerable scale has been
demonstrated by Will R. Weaver,
locai iarmer. Mr. Weaver , has
about, two acres of the fruit in
bearing, and harvested over eight
tons in 1922, which were sold at
7 cents a pound. Deducting
cent a pound, the average cost of
picking, Mr. , Weaver estimates
that he cleared approximately
SHOO, or $550 an acre."
JUST IX TIME
Fortunately for McAdoo, Wood
row Wilson died before the ques
tion was put to him as to whether
or not he knew that McAdoo was
commercializing his administra
tion. Everybody, of course, knows
that Wilson did not know at all,
and would not hawe tolerated it if
he had, but if the former presi
dent had lived another week, the
question would have been put to
him directly.
The people have an idea that
Wilson's final collapse dated from
the time of the McAdoo exposure.
However, there is no way of
knowingi about this.
VALE Mc
From this time forward The
Oregon Statesman will have little
interest in Democratic national
politics. It confesses its dislike
for McAdoo. and it feared his
nomination. There is mighty lit
tle danger of his nomination traw.f
and if he is nominated, there is
no danger of his election. We
have always regarded McAdoo as
the most dangerous man of his
party, but his teeth have been
pulled, and his claws filed off.
LAW EXFORCEMEXT
The Oregon Statesman has been
making a campaign for law en
forcement, and it is glad to sec
results on every hand. The peo
ple want the laws enforced. How
ever, we are anxious to have it
known that this is an absolutely
Impersonal contest, and we are
not against any officer whatso
ever. We are for the officers, and
want to help them in every way
possible. The Oregon Statesman
will stand by every officer who
does his duty.
A GREAT ISSUE
"We have before us a copy of the
Western World, published at Ban-
don, Coos county. Bandon, as we
understand it, is a town of some
two; thousand to twenty-five hun
dred population, and yet it has
issued a paper that would do cred
it to Portland. It contains forty
eight pages, in six sections, and
is the most apprehensive issue of
its kind we have ever seen.

PEOPLE
Auto Trucking
Editor Statesman: Will you al
low me space in your paper for a
few words in regard to the auto
mobile trucking -industry in the
ttate of Oregon. The more of
tht taxpayers' money that is spen.
on building more' and better roads
the more the truck owners are be
ing hewed down on the road that
they are allowed to haul on the
road.
I am informed we are hewn
down to 350 pounds to the inch
tire rubber including the weight
of the truck on some of the. roads.
I have a two-ton truck that weighs
6000 pounds. I have 26 inches
of tire rubber. Figure for your
self and see how much I am al
lowed to haul on my two-ton
truck. The state allows us our
licenses as a guarantee that we
may operate our truck on the pub
lic highways of Oregon, then they
turn around and hew us down on
the loads we haul until we cannot
make money enough to pay for
our licenses, the upkeep of our
trucks and our taxes, nine times
out of ten in favor of the Railroad
companies. .
I have talked with several men
that do not own trucks and they
say ihey don't believe in the high
ways paralleling, the . railways as
the railway was here first; neither
do I believe in it. Not because the
railway was here first because it
would have been better for the
railway and the public in general
had it not been done. But let's
see who is to blame for the Pa
cific highway paralleling the rail
way. I do not know what in
fluence the railroad officials had
in getting the Pacific highway par
allel to the road in Oregon.
When the Pacific highway was
proposed I lived in western Wash
ington and I do know something
about what happened up there
when the highway was proposed
of course the location would be
the first to consider.
A very large majority of the
people of western Washington
wanted the highway built 20 miles
west or 20 miles east of the NP
railroad where it .most assuredly
should of been built for the good
of. the railroad company and the
public in general. The people felt
sure , for, a long time that they
would get it east or west ol tne
railroad but that did not appeal
to the NP railroad company so
they set their heads and almost
broke their necks .to get the Pa
cific highway parallel to their rail
road. They went so far as to do
nate an abandoned railroad grade
for the'Pacific highway. They got
hold of some of the high mucha
mucks of Washington as they us
ually do when they want to put.
something over on the poor man
and they finally succeeded in get
ting the highway parallel to the
railroad tliTeugli" western Wash
ington. The officials of the rail
road never dreamed that some day
in the near future they would ride
along the highway in their pri
vate silver ycoaches and look out
ot those beautiful windows upon
the beautiful Pacific highway to
behold hundreds and thousands
of automobiles and trucks trans
porting passengers and freight
from city to city cheaper than they
are doing. I don't say cheaper
than, they could do it.
I don't believe in trucks over
loading not because it damages
the roads alone but it usually dam
ages the trucks the most. I would
like to see a -Jaw passed making
the truck owners or drivers or
both responsible for any damage
done to any road or roads on ac
connt of overloading in Oregon.
I appeal to the law makers of
Oregon in all justice to not legis
late and pass laws to break the
poor man's head with the club the
rich railroad company cut to break
their own heads. There is a; gen
eration whose teeth are as swords
and their jaw ieeth as knives to
devour the poor from the earth
and the needy from among men:

that Lillian's, hand had promptly
covered Marion's mouth, and I re
gretted my own attempt at gibing.
Dicky's portentous frown indicat
ed that this was no time for jest
ing. "Can the comedy, he command
ed curtly, "and then all of you
will have to pile out and get into
the other car. Look at that shoe!
Now, what the devil's to be done?"
He stood with his hands in his
pockets looking gloomily at the
flattened shoe. A sudden suspi
cion flashed into my mind, and as
Lillian and Junior and Marion
went toward the other car, I voic
ed it-
"Dicky! You don't mean that
you didn't have that inner tube
fixed on that spare?"
"Yesi, I mean exactly that," he
snapped. "I need an extra spare
for that car, anyway, and' was go
ing to get one at Kingston. How
on earth you managed to get that
blowout on a road like a billiard
table I can's tell for the life or
me. But that's the way of a wo

"You're mistaken," I said spirit
edly, "it's the way of a man nev
er taking the proper precautions

"Oh,, keep quiet!" Then he took
refuge in a man's prerogative,
apostrophizing the scenery pic
turesquely for several seconds
taking care, however, to keep his
voice discreetly lowered so that
Lillian and the children should
not hear him. j
The contrast between his low, j
controlled tones and his mule-
stunner s vocaouiary smote my
sense of the ludicrous and I laugh
ed outright. But I lost my sense
of humor immediately afterward,
for there leaped Into Dicky's eyes
a look I knew only too well, a look
which generally presaged one of
his rages.
"Forgive me, Dicky," I plead
ed. "I know it's horrible to laugh,
but if you only knew how funny
that whispered cussing sounded
I won't laugh any more."
i ou d better not if you want
a whole bone In your head," he
retorted, and I knew that I had
averted the storm for the moment.
"It's a wonder you wouldn't
bend your alleged brain to think
lng out something to do," he went
pn, ; and I realized with a smile
1 had to smother that this was in
reality an appeal for the aid he
scorned, masculine fashion, to ask
for outright.

quired. "Yes, but what the devil good
does that do us?" he snapped. "I
can change a spare all right, and
I suppose I could put In the inner
tube, but I'd ruin a perfectly
good salt of clothes doing it."
I didn't mean you to do it," I
said,'

But have you noticed how many
trucks of vegetables and different
things there are on the road this

"No doubt," Dicky replied with
heavy sarcasm, "your clairvoyant
mind knows just when another of
the gentry will appear on the
scene, and whether or not he will

Our cars' were standing at the
foot of a long, steep hill, and
Dicky facing me had his back to
it, while I had an uninterrupted
view of the whole sweep. I could
have cheered madly when, 'oyer
the crest of the hill, there appear
ed one of the lumbering trucks
which are anathema to the pleasure-car

. "I don't know, of course, what
