S THE BEAUTIFUL STORY "Just now, while we are making preparations to begin the fourteenth annual presentation of our Mission Play at San Gabriel, we are thinking of the wonderful story that California has to tell the world. And that it is perhaps the most glamorous and most beautiful of all stories ever told. "It must be true; otherwise how can it be explained that year after year as the story is told on the stage of the old playhouse at San Gabriel that the throngs that come to hear the story" increase as year follows year: v And that many people come over and over again, always returning, to "hear the story, anew. :v ;"i : .7. i jt ' :t ". . ''Other lands have stories to tell. But.when their stories are rnin twotiia no not rppiti to through they were delighted at first; But nobody ever grows weary of the beautiful story of California. j ' 1 i ?Ihe Conductor of this poor blundering page feel? that God -was yery good to him when he gave him the great priv ilege of setting forth in pageantry and drama the forever lovely story of our peerless California. -1 ;! f - The above is from the page of the Los Angeles feTimes Sunday Magazine conducted each week by John Steven Mc Groarty, who wrote and put on the now world famous Mis--siori Play at San Gabriel, near Los Angeles I - I Which play, reciting the early history of California, has become a great institution,' attracting people from all the world and bringing a constantly increasing stream of money from every where to give it better housing and improved facilities. Some of the world's best actors participate! Fred erick Warde played a part several seasons.! f I The writer has spoken before of this example of the won ders performed through the faithful work and : burning enthusiasm of one man. , His friends call him great now. But John Steven McGroarty was just a faithful newspaper reporter and worker of Los Angeles ' fiSi i This plus vision i plus enthusiasm and industry with out vainglory or greed, asking nothing., fr himself, craving everything for Ms state which he loved and for the story of her beginnings . i 1 I, Hence the Mission Play and its constantly widening in fluence. There is the same chance here at Salem. $ The first dwel ing built, in what became Oregon's capital city still stands here, where it was originally erected at 960 Broadway; now part of a larger house, used as an apartment. The beginnigs of Willamette University are here P ! -J ' ! ; And the beginnings of civilization; and memorials of the struggles that bound the Oregon Country; " to the United States instead of the British Empire - ! 1 Here was the later quest of Jason after the, Golden Fleece; here the Oberammergau of the Oregon Country; the settings of the story of the Bridge of the Gods of the West All the things that make the Mission Play of California typical -of the beginnings of that commonwealth are found here to make such a story of the laying of 1 the foundations of Oregon, mother of states of the Pacific Northwest I -And the appeal is wider than that. The appeal of the "White Man's Book": that brought Jason Lee and his band to the site of Salem is as wide as the world; it is to all the people under the shining sun. a v'f' , ', -l ' Wanted, a man (or a woman) with a vision, with' enthus iasm, with tireless industry and unflagging energy. ' -The umexius ior sucn an one u wnw:, picpc nu puv uu me Mission Play of Oregon. , i y ri j -v S j?f .There is a news item printed elsewhere in The States man of this morning telling a new story about the ; Jason Lee Hou&, first dwelling for white people in Salem. It was the Salem postoffice. It was the territorial treasury. It was many other things, waiting to be. woven into a thrilling story to endure throughout! the ages, y j i i A true story, founded on facts, for truth here was stran ger than fiction a true story , simply told, the very sim plicity of which will make it glamorous. , I .f 3f S - ' ' -" : !:- ; :: rKV: f San Ysidoro, the saint watching over homes, nodded and was off duty one night, when the modest dwelling of John Steven "McGroarty burned. He called it his, "little high house in the green Verdugo hills." -His friends far and wide began sending him money to make up the loss of his house. Before he could get word out to them all, a large sum. had accumulated in this way and . McGroarty used not a cent of it; he turned it all over to the building funds of the fission Play, because his little high house was covered by insurance. ; x The author and maker of, the Oregon Mission Play must be as unselfish, as loyal to.. the one purpose. . He will not need wealth in, this world's goods. - But he will require wealth in devotion and energy and singleness of purpose; a high trder "of wealth in . these things. i - i 1 i -J The railroads ought quickly to give the farmers tf the Salem district the freight . rate they will heed in order, f o grow sugar beets" for the Bellingham, WashV factory,? in hi experimental way. The time is here now when the arrange rricnts should be made, in order to get the right farmers, with the right land, and with time to give tlje land the right attention. i " WHY OT THE PLXJPLE? If the legislature is so certain that the people do not want the child labor amendment,: why not submit It directly to the people? . . H tr k mortmain institutions and It is the practice in Oregon. The plain fact Is the "opponents , of - the " measure are afraid to suuuiu li jo we peopie. iney .snow it wttt i v ui rrart'f nlly an overwhclmi'nsr 'votel t ! , y -fnt that tbo prohi- . ,.i Manager .

'Tiir't 13 upon thtt Issue. The fathers and mothers; of the 'land should say whether control of the 'youth of the nation should be taken from the 48 states and yielded to the federal ; congress, i The fathers and mothers of this land are bet ter capable of deciding whether fney shall giro congress authority to regulate, limit and prohibit youthful indmstry up to the age of 18, or let It remain with the state. In " theiry and It is sound In theory -and it is sound theory the people determine th character of this government and the composition of their constitu tion. The legislature now In ses sion could.- make no mistake in squaring the action with,' that fun damental principle of American government, 'i California adopted the amend ment as a good business propo sition, and so it would be for Ore gon. , Oregon has superior child labor laws -now. and it is import ant to the business Interests of the state that the competition of thej low standard states be destroyed by means of a federal law which will bring. the backward in i line with better regulations. , IS THIS TRUE? f i . .Senator Bruce Dennis of La Grande is a mighty level-headed man. He came to Salem Sunday before theegislature convened and spentlie: litV around the hoteL.'1 jtotelcomed .'by ahybodyVejccfipoiieilueinber of the senate. Commenting; pa this. Senator Dennis' says: ' , ' "1 ; . ' 1 "You know, fealem does not go very strong on extending the glad hand to the outlying senators and representatives. Unlike most cap ital cities legislators are looked upon as an evil which must be borne - with rather than friends who 'happen In their midst, who enjoy opening bails and social functions. By this we mean Sa lem as a community, and it must be understood that all in Salem are of that frame of mind,: for there are many, . many very fine, hospitable souls here. Some of them come from eastern Oregon and locate in this staid commun ity and of course they never lose their hospitality. But the city as a whole is not one that will get up early in the morning or walk a few blocks out of the way to welcome a stranger within its por tals." . r"Is this a true Indictment? Cer tainly we must admit that there is a whole lot of truth in it. In other state capitals the legislative season is a social whirl. The first families, prepare for it months in advance and during the session the members are feted in every possible way. The result is that they go away praising the capital city. i . i " , Xow these members do not come here to be feted, but they are human beings, every one of them, and they do like the ordinary at tention which is paid . to distin guished : visitors. For a period of 40 days they are the most import ant people in Salem and they should have attention accordingly. Salem is not slow in asking a whole lot of these men. and yet it) extends to them ; fewer of the average courtesies than is custom ary. 'V : i ? -' ' m ' -u 'ii ; We are sorry that -wee can not contradict Senator Dennis indict ment;" but we f hope tn'aV in an other twof ," years ihai 'the same charge can' not be,ustained. XO LOXCJER It used to be that we talked about the poor, downtrodden lab oring man, and many people sym pathized with him tearfully. Those things have been changed. Labor ing men are ' fast becoming capi talists and laborers are becoming indeendent. Of course all the grief now comes over those who are not able to get labor, who cannot get work. Those who get work, get good wages, j and the laboring people of the country now have at least ten banks with more being organized all the time. One " big -brotherhood has , gone into the coal business and the miners are, out fighting it to a finish because it is running non union coal mines. . However, all labor is simply undeveloped capital, and laboring men are learning to club together and form financial cooperative in stitutions.' not only -among 'the farmers but among all the other classes v - : i " ! - : ' A PITY Secretaryj Hoover points out that the government Is now upon a wasteful economic basis; that we are exporting foods that should be consumed at home and import ing foods to lessen home produc tion. This Is an economic waste that is bad for every citizen In America.' The. farmers of course are directly hit because they are the "producers. We are importing, for illustration,' enormous and in creasing Quantities - of-- Vegetable oils frtI i ristanf. Islands of the Tacifio a::J Ifor.i China and ctJ3?r tedljr an Inferior Bubsfitute ; fof dairy products. If lit were not for the severe competition or these in ferior 'substitutes the American dairy Industry could quickly' and beneficially, be increased. i t .The dairy, industry suffers from double foreign competition from these imported Vegetable oils on the west coast of the United States and from imports Of foreign but ter and cheese from all parts of the world and into all the large ports of this country, r'j S ri-. We are importing great quan tities of tropical fruits, like ban anas. ' The agriculture of the na tion would.be" better off if "the money drained away for these pro ducts were spent for home-grown products. - 'i I . LEVYING TAXES The Idea of levying taxes on vices rather than virtues origin ated with Napoleon Bonaparte. He discovered that) people did not object to those being taxed. On this theory we ar4 levying a lot of taxes variouslyj called Amuse ments, and' they; were' taxed for a time as petty vices, j It wasn't f airj of course, and the taxes have prac tically all been lifted, but there are little petty vices which can be taxed profitably and these should be taxed because people complain about them less than any other kind, and people do not have to use them.' i f 'I t,n,' ,. NOTHIXGl YET It must be admitted that so far nothing has been found on Cleav ef.',The documentary evidence to which so much importance has been attached has practically been abandoned. Now-..hey', are after oral testimony. The state is being combed to find people to -testify against Cleaver, ji ' j 1 We are not friendly to Cleaver, but we do not believe that he 1 a crooks He is simply, a rough specimen who doe$ not under stand getting 1 along; with people, and makes mistakes' on every hand. There may be things in the offing to get Cleaver, but so fap those who vote against him . will simply have to shut their eyes and vote their prejudices. . A DAXGEROUK MEAStHE i The Banks! bill (which passed the senate permitting aoneals otf wtff.ofLJcepses f needed in Portland put, it certain ly is a dangerous' bill to' put i oil the statute books, jit must' be re called that laws are not for any particular locality-, iut for all the people, and if they! do not apply today they will apply tomorrow. V A license Is not a vested right. It is a privilege, Jand a city coun cil is the best allj-arOund judge of that ' privilege, because the busi ness conducted isj a business with in the municipality; entirely,: and the effect of it reflects upon the city, either for good or for bad. Mayor Baker of j Portland is op posing the. measure, and he is right. :,' I - f. - HAItD LVCK Albert "Richard Wetjen. the famous Salem author now in Eng land, finds himself n difficulties. Wetjen is an Englishman, and there has always Jteeu some ques tion as to how he got Into this country. I He had jdif ficulty in get ting a passport to J go back, but finally landed. Now his thoughts are turning back to America and Salem and he finds'rthat he, must come in in the next quota as an Englishman.., -f H.-:r.t i : Wetjen is doing (a remarkable work, and is a man with a great future.' He has wonderful talent, a - pleasing personality, and is a clean writer. .
