Michigan Ave. The Fruit of Industrialism THE south is reaping its harvest of rampant industrialism. For years its chambers of commerce have been advertis ing the advantages of southern cities for manufacturing. Spe cial appeals were directed toward the establishment of cotton mills 'and the transfer of New England mills to the southern states, where owners were assured among other things of a cheaper and more plentiful labor supply. White labor from "the hills, unorganized in unions, was there in abundance, just waiting for exploitation by factory executives. 9 - oo me cotton mills came, were moved down from New down from the hills and whole families, including the little children were set to work. The industry thrived in the south land: and it languished in the north. High taxes And high wage scales and restricted hours of labor played havoc with the industry in Fall River aad New Bedford and other textile reenters of the north. Meantime the southern laborers were learning. They learned first that their lot was much improved over what it had been up in the hills. There was real cash money, some J' thing rarely seen in the corn pone country. There were pic- ture shows to go to, and church on Sunday. Then they learned t some more, the agitators came in, and they learned they were f working for low wages, that they were taking employment t from others who had been getting higher wages, that their children were working at tasks forbidden them in other states. They learned a lot, and then they rebelled. So there have been strikes at Charlotte, the great text ile center of the south: at Gastonia. at Elizabethtown, Ten- , nessee, and at other cities in the cotton mill foothill section ' of the southland. The strikes have been accompanied by vio f lence,.by charges and recriminations. Men have been slain, md others have been arrested for murder. A police chief was i killed at Gastonia ; five strikers were killed at Marion. The seeds of trouble have been sown, now the harvest is being ' reaped. 1 In such labor disturbances as these communist agitators 1 seek to spread their gospel. They find some converts, but f the mass of southern laborers are not bolshevist. They are good American citizens seeking redress of grievances through tthe strike. But out of strikers hounded by sheriffs and --citizen's posses an draw militiamen, bitter rebels and com munists are made. Not for us at this distance to judge the merits of the particular controversies. But we do observe the development of what seems to be the normal product of uncontrolled in dustrialism labor exploitation followed by strikes and dis- wtwbances. We are still so intent on the mechanical end of our factories that we forget the human element involved. The south is getting its baptism of blood in- modern indus trialism. Mellon to Remain rpUESDAY'S papers carried the announcement from the . A White House that Andrew Mellon had consented to remain J as secretary of the treasury until the end of the Hoover ad- ministration. Already his length of service has exceeded that 'of Andrew Gallatin, who previously held the record. If Hoover is re-elected and Mr. Mellon continues to the end of that ad ministration he will have served 16 years in the cabinet, easily the greatest record for length of service of any secretary. While Mr. Mellon is vigorous in mind and body, still at his years, illness might interfere with his plans for continued service. The news will give reassurance to the business world that continued stability will characterize the handling of the public finances. The acute problems of the war debts have been solved. The successive tax reductions have lightened the load on industry. The debts from European countries have been funded and the obligations are being met. This clears out of the way the big problems which Mr. Mellon had to face as executive head of the treasury. His successful handling of thse problems has earned for him the designation as the greatest secretary of the treasury since Alexander Hamilton. His carping critics have driven sharp darts at him, but they have seldom nettled him. He has carried himself well in the . face of some rather severe criticism, most of which was un justified. Of course President Hoover is his own administration. Mr. Mellon does not bulk so large as he did in the Coolidge regime. The president is master in his own house. He is not overshadowed by greater figures in his own cabinet. For this reason Mr. Mellon is not quite the oracle he was in the previous administration. Perhaps for that reason he finds the duties more routine and less arduous, and is more inclined to round out to the limit his Now it appears that Shearer's famous "secret document" was - p.? thing but a joke. It wasn't a forgery and not oven a fake, just J"" a"' to ax. One would think people in public life would learn by this time that "secret documents" seldom exist. v We had a shower of Mexican "secret documents" that i after Hearst had paid a lot of money for them and started publish- log them.

J. HENDRICKS "The plains across:" V Continuing Colonel William Thompson's story. Yesterday the account had the wagon train safe ly across the Platte river at Fort Laramie, and the company all on the north side. Col. Thompson writes in his book: "We soon be gan to see great herds of buffa lo. In fact, at times the hills were black with the heaving, rolling, bellowing mass, and no meal was served for many days without fresh buffalo. As we wended our way up the valley of the Platte one could look back for miles and miles on a line of wagons, the sinuous line with varicolored wag on cover resembling a great ser pent crawling and wriggling up the valley. Fortunately for our train we were well In advance and thus escaped the sickness that later dotted the valley of the Platte with graves." S On and on. Independence Rock, Sweet Water and Devil's Gate were passed. Members of our train had observed two men who traveled with us, yet held them selves aloof along with us, prob ably for protection, they always camped by themselves. Some said they were Mormons, while others asserted they were merely a self ish pair. One day one of the men was missing. The other on being questioned gave evasive and very unsatisfactory replies. His actions excited the suspicions of our men. He appeared anxious to get ahead and left us, making a long night drive. It was then determin ed to make an investigation. Two of our party mounted good horses and started back on the trail. Each camp was carefully examin ed and they were rewarded by finding the body of a murdered man beneath the ashes of a camp fire, buried In a shallow grave. By riding all night, the overtook the train, before starting back burying the body of the unfortu nate traveler. The news spread rapidly and a party followed the murderer. He was soon overtaken and halted at the muzxle of rifles. When the train came up a coun cil was held. Probably a hundred wagons were halted. It was deter mined to give the man a trial. The evidence was conclusive, and aft er conviction the miserable wretch confessed all, but begged tor mercy. He said the murdered man had picked him up out of pity and was taking him through for his company and his help. There being no trees, three wagons were run together, the wagon tongues being raised to form a tripod and to answer for a gal lows. To the center of the triped a rope was attached with the oth - er end around the neck of the trembling, writhing, beggins wretch. But he had committeed a cruel, cold blooded murder and nis crime could not be condoned, He was stood on the back of a horse, and a sharp cut being given the animal the wretch was swung into eternity. A grave had been dug and into this the body of the murderer was placed. The proper ty of the murdered man was taken through to the settlements. His relatives were communicated with, the property sold and the pro ceeds sent to the proper owners. Such was the swift but terrible Justice administered on the plains. Without law or the officers of the law, there was no other course to pursue conslsteht with safety for the living. -July 4th, 1852. we reached Green River. Traders had estab lished all ferry boats at the cross ing. In order to keep down com petition, fire of the boats were tied up and the sum of $18 was demanded tor each and every wag on ferried orer the stream. They had formed a kind of 'trust,' as it were, even in that day. The rate was pronounced exorbitant, no fair, outrageous, and beyond the ability of many to pay. Train aft er train had been blocked until a city pi tents had been formed. American's Hospitality t -LrS J L -"" y - :ir h: Wlis Liri -""J-t L I On the morning of the 4th a meet ing of immigrants was called to discuss the situation. A few coun seled moderation, compromise, anything to prevent a clash with the traders, who boasted that they could turn the Indians loose on us. The great majority defied both traders and Indians and boldly an nounced that they would fight be fore they would submit to being robbed. Many fiery speeches were made, and about 10 o'clock a long line of men, with shouldered rifles flashing in the sun, marched down and took possession of the ferry boats. The traders fumed and threatened, and Indians with war whoops and yells mounted horses and rode off from the op posite Bide. The traders said they were going after the tribe to ex terminate the entire train. They were plainly told that the first shot fired by traders or Indians would sound their own death knell that they, the traders, would be shot down without mercy. "The ferry boats were then seized and the work of crossing the river began. As fast as the wagons were crossed over they where driven down the river, one behind another, forming a corral, with the open side facing the river in the form of a half wheel. When the wagons had all been crossed. the loose stock were swum over into the opening. There was n'o confusion, but everything pro ceeded with almost military pre cision. A committee had had been appointed to keep tally on the number of the wagon crossed on the boats. The traders were paid $4 for each and every wagon. Still they fumed and threatened. The faces of the more timid blanched and a few women were in tears. I beheld the proceedings with childish wonder. But the cir cumstances of that 4th of July and the execution of the murd erer were burned into my brain with letters of fire, never to be effaced while memory holds her' sway. "Every man was under arms that night Horses were tied up and work oxen chained to the wagons, a strict guard kept on the traders In the mean time. The next morning the long string of wagons started out on the road. Two hundred men rode on either 'Side to defend the train, while scouting parties rode at a distance to guard against surprise. This formation was kept up for several days, but seeing neither traders nor Indians the different trains separated -and each went Its way unmolested. . "Bear river and Soda springs : wer? next passed. A few miles 1 this side of Soda springs the roads j forked, one going to California 1 and the other to Oregon. Here a t council wa3 held. A portion of 'our train' wanted to take the Calif- ornia road. Others preferred the Oregon route. A vote was taken and resulted in a majority for Oregon, and association and friendship being stronger than mere individual preference, all moved out on the Oregon road. V ''Snake river was finally reach ed, and here the real trials of the journey began. From some cause. not then understood, our oxen be gan to die. The best and fattest died first, often two and three in one camp. Cows were drawn Into the yoke aad the Journey resum ed. But It soon became evident that loads must be lightened Wagons loaded with stores and provisions were driven to the side et the road and an invitation written with charcoal for all to help themselves. To add to the difficulties vt our situation, the Snake Indians were surly and In solent to a degree. Gradually a gloom settled over all. No more laughter, or dancing and song. And faster and faster the oxen died. Camping places were almost unbearable on account of the dead aad decaying cattle. Aad then the terrible mountains of which we had heard so much were before us. Would we ever reach the set tlements? This was a question that began to prey upon the minds of many. A few of the young men shouldered a blanket each and some provisions and .started on foot to reach the valley. Others began to despair "of ever reach ing the promised land. If those who cross the continent now In palace cars and complain of the tediousness of the journey could take one look at the wreck and desolation that lined the poisoned banks of Snake river, they would hide their heads in very shame.'

ENTTAL The Oregon Voter has recentlv recounted, without naming names the rise and ruin of a promoted corporation of Oregon, some of wnose orricers and stockholders had received their shares gratis for permitting the use of their names ia connection with th pro motion. A stock flotation rr $250,000 was accomplished, manv of the purchasers being persons of small or moderate means who were led into investment in the concern after regarding the Im posing array of names at the too which had been lent by their pos sessors for free stock. It was a shabby business. Such shady practice Is not new in our business life, however. Ev ery man who has attained to any sort or position above common, knows what It Is to be aDnroaeh- ed with offers of free shares In doubtful promotions. Sometimes. as in the case of one In pre-eminent position In business or public life, the motive is merely to ob tain the use of the name as an incentive to persons less fortun ae to persuade them to pay for stocks. In other cases the con sideration Is the obtaining of In fluence or service of one doubtful kind or another. An oil stock pro moter in this community a few years ago tried to give a .block of stock in his worthless concern to a newspaper publisher, while at the same time he was selling sim ilar stock on installments to per sons of small means who could III afford the Inevitable loss. The apparent motive In that case was to stay erKidsm of the promo tion. That Is even -worse than giving away stocks for the use of influential names. There was the Credit Moblller ot Reconstruction infamy.

City High School's An nual Entertainment Set For October 11 MILL CITY, Oct. 8. (Special) All of Mill City and surround ing territory are awake to the fact that the Mill City high sc&ool u about to present one of bio greatest events in the school season the carnivaL Elaborate preparations are be ing made and it is thought that it will be a greater success than any ever presented before. The date set Is October 11, and the en tire program is to be home tal ent. Two of the main attractions, are: A chorus of five singing and dancing "Breakaway." and a group of eight girls who will per form many difficult athletic stunts. There are many others and also many attractive sideshows. Miss Theo Rogers, student in the high school, spent Saturday In Salem shopping. Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Hoeye and family enjoyed a trip over the Co lumbia river highway to Hood River Sunday. The Mill City schools were clos ed Friday, not to be opened till Wednesday, October 9, on account of teachers Institute being held on Monday and Tuesday. Alvin Raines and two daugh ters, Meldon and Patricia Anne re turned Sunday evening from Port land where they spent the week end with friends and relatives. WOODBURN, Oct. 8. -(Special) O. J. Sande, member of the national organization of American Air Cadets, has appointed Eugene Courtney, C. P. Hansen, V. D. Bain, H. F. Butterfield and Ivan C. Beers sponsors of an Air Ca dets club In this city. All boys applying for member ship in this club must be under 20 years of age. The entrance fee is 50 cents and includes a com plete kit for constructing a model issued and vast government grants which It turned over to it self to the total of more than $50,000,000. besides an addition al $23,000,000 in the form of stocks, income bonds and land grant bonds which came along With this latter fund dividends were declared approximating 48 per cent. The promoters feared govern ment interference with what bore all the earmarks of a gigantic steal. Oakes Ames, chief promot er of the Credit Moblller, was al so a representative in congress, so he distributed fat blocks of siock among senators and con-J pressmen who were influential In the ruling radical bloc, although it was not called a bloe then. Some of these stocks were sold to the lawmakers at a nominal price. In other cases nothing whatever was paid. All of the congressional recipients partici pated when the 48 per cent melon was cut a little at a time. The blow-up when It came was high, wide and handsome. Some of those Involved as recipients of the tainted bounty were among the very leaders of the nation. There was Schuyler Colfax, by that time vice president although he had only been speaker of the house when he accepted the gift. There was James A. Garfield, who was among those having Ipatfd nothing at all for their loot. He was afterwards elected president. There was James G. Blaine, who also tried afterwards to become president, but was defeated, and there were yet others as promin ent. It was a scandal that fairly blew the national lid off. The en suing house and senate Investiga tions whitewashed the whole bus iness, the reports declaring that the guilty solons had been misled by the naughty Ames, who with an associate and a senator whose sin seems to have been that he was wrong politically, were made the sole scapegoats. This story of the Credit Mobll ler might well be read by persons in high places when free stocks are offered them. It is quite a lesson. Eugene Register. SUPPORT WHERE LEAST EX PECTED , Philadelphia Is considering a miscellaneous bond issue of fifty five million dollars, according to the National Municipal Review. Practically all of the bonds are to run for fifty years. "Philadelphia," remarks Har old W. Dodds, editor of the Re view, "was once known as the city which used the proceeds of fifty-year bonds for the purchase ot street brooms. It is doubtful whether fifty-year bond to build a swimming pool Is much in ad vance of the practice." This action should give propon ents of the pay-as-you-go plan In municipal finance further ammu nition. Considering the fact that mon ey at conservative Interest doub les Itself in twenty years, what ever the purpose of this bond, the people may ultimately pay nearly three times the actual value of the Improvement before they have a cnance to pay off the loan! There Is a lesson in this for Astoria. While there la some thing to be said for permitting future generations to pay part of the cost of an improvement from which they will benefit greatly, certainly no brief can be bald for the practice of doubling or tripl ing the cost through Interest charge In order to permit that participation. There Is much to be said for the pay-as-you-go system. Its simplicity. Its elimination of the obligations Involved in the handl ing of the sinking fund, recom- mend Its adoption wherever nos ltstble.

Boys in this club will be allowed to participate In the state and national contests for plane models and have an equal chance to win trophies and trips in real airplanes. The object of such clubs is to stimulate an interest in aviation. By building model planes boys are acquainted with every detail of construction and there is time and place to insert their own ideas in building aircraft. The model planes Tiuilt by the boys will ac tually fly. If any boy wants to Join he may make an application to any of the sponsors and his name will be en rolled. L MARIOX. Oct. 8.

Senator Sheppard, democrat, Texas, initi ated today what he called the "last step" for prohibition en forcement. "This will make prohibition complete," observed the tenant, who ten years ago sponsored and obtained the 18th amendment to the constitution prohibiting the sale or manufacture of liquor. "It Is the last step in the na tional legislature movement which began In December, 1928," he said. Saying he was moved by "gen eral opinion" among prohibition ists and a court decision holding that the buyer of liquor can not be punished, Sheppard brought forward the proposal that was dropped when the 18th amend ment was on the way toward adop tion. The belief then was that the amendment could not be passed with such a clause In it, the sen ator said.
