Ewing. pro fessor of political science at OAC. The four views of rovernmect held by nfen were outlined by Professor FJwing. These four views are anarchis tic, individualistic, collectivistlc, and socialistic. Most business men have the collectivism point of view. Professor Ewing believes, although every one is at heart something of a sotialist. "In truth, the work of modern government runs to the roots of life, liberty and the pursuit of hap piness. Professor Ewing stated. From the cradle to the grave we are in the sphere of its activities and influences. Our births art registered in its official records. We cannot get married without its license. At any time we may be called upon to surrender, for its use. a large share of our property in addition to taxes; to fight for It; and, if need be, die for it. "Wherever we -live and work we enjoy Its benefits and protec tion and are subject to its re straints. There is no field of in dustry, commerce or labor which it does not enter. Our peace, se curity, comfort, .health and well being is an ever increasing meas ure dep?ndeut upon its policies and the efficiency of its administra tion.

"Development of the Pacific northwest during the past 50 years ' ' ' has been so great that 50 years ago its prediction seemed so ridiculous as to cause the failure in business of Jay Cook & Son, who attempted t tQ finance a railroad through the northwest to Tacoma and to Portland. " A prospectus, gotten out in 1876, forecast the development of the- t northwest to a point that now seems too conservative, but then seemed so optimistic that business men refused to invest in the railroad, stating that it could not be sound business. Looking at that prospectus today, we are impressed with the fact that what seems visionary today is commonplace lomorrow." and Picture Salem 50 Years Ago or Even Five Note Carefully how It lias Grown and Developed of approximately $15 a day.ij ' SPANISH NOTE LEAVES jMeat appearing' and at a price in keeping : vitH the studentsrmean9"MaTtethisar ; 5f -'.iieceissity-'Dhe of yhich you can be proud' i t..
