Wage Increases
TTITTflLE wages have held up pretty well, there, axe occa-
if. sional reports of wage cuts. What a tonic it would be
to announce general wage increases of ten per. cent! Confi
dence would be restored and business would revive.
Yet that is just what has happened for probably 75
of the regular employes of the country. How? Through the
increased value of the coin in their pay envelopes.
Prices are down about ten per cent. That means a vir
tual wage increase of ten per cent to everyone who holds
his job at the same salary. It means a ten per cent increase
in buying power to all who receive interest and dividends
from investments. Eventually that gain in buying power
will be felt because those profiting by it will buy more mer
chandise as they find their money goes farther, and this
will quicken the currents of trade.
There is a real responsibility resting on those with
fixed incomes. They are the ones who can help business re
vive. Some of them, taking advantage., of business fears,
crawl in their shell and stop spending money. They ought to
be increasing, not diminishing their expenditures.
The point to drive home is that for the millions of those
employed whose time and wage scales have not been reduc
ed and for the many thousands deriving fixed incomes from
notes or bonds, there has been an actual increase in their
incomes so far as buying power is concerned.
One Paper at Eugene
THE two daily papers in Eugene have combined, the
Guard, purchasing the Register. Thus Eugene moves
into the ranks of small cities in the state with only one
newspaper. Judging from the character of the two papers
in Eugene there was no reason why the two should not be
consolidated since both were published in the evening. Both
were excellent newspapers but run primarily from the pub
lishing end of the office. News was a commodity; advertis
ing linage the summun bonum. As a result of. this foster
ing of advertising patronage the two papers carried more
advertising than any other , papers in the state outside of
Portland.
The inevitable result was fierce competition for mass
circulation and mass advertising. Asia news-paper each
was a wonderful production; but there seems little distinc
tion In their editorial character, not enough to justify two
evening papers in a city no bigger than Eugene.
Tbe farm board is doing what strikes us as a clever piece of
business: it Is baring many million bushels of wheat at prevailing
bottom prices. It has a good chance of making profits on recent
purchases to offset its losses on last year's buying at higher prices.
Besides It gives the market a good support .and may prevent fur
ther demoralization. It's a bad thing for the government to get Into
the commodities markets, but being In, it is wise to play the game
with some shrewdness in hopes it may come out even in the end.
It was most unfortunate for Governor Norblad that he had to
tart running for office as soon as he became governor. It he had

over since he came back from the east and started running the of
fice himself.

Today Talk
By B. 8. Copcland. M. D.
from time te time daring the
school -year every mother Is
frightened by talk of epidemics.
Dreadful t stor
ies are t told
about the pre
valence of mea-
lea. mumps,
w h oopln g
cough, . grippe,
perhaps scar
let fever, dlp
theria. or In
fantile paraly
sis. Her natur
al Impulse un
der such cir
cumstance la
to take ber
child out of
school. She
does this In-the desperate at
tempt to get him away from the
danger of contagion.
As a matter of fact. In moat
eases, certainly the school Is the
very, safest place for their child.
There his health Is carefully
watched. If any disease is preva
lent the teachers are on the alert
to discover the first symptoms. It
la safe to say that every possi
ble precaution will be taken to
prevent the spread of the disease.
At one time it was very com
mon practice to close schools in
time of epidemics. This may still
be necessary or advisable In Some
eases possibly but that is a mat
ter for the local school and
health authorities to decide. 'Or
dinarily It Is best to have the
children pursue their regular
routine. 1
If care Is taken to exelude from
school all children who show any
signs of illness the others are in
no more danger than they would
be -elsewhere fh the community.
They are far safer than they
would be ' If kept home from
school and then allowed to go to
the movies or the theatre . or to
ride in the street ears or even to
play with other children.
In a mdoern . well-run school
constant attention Is paid' to
proper sanitation and ventilation.
Exercise, rest recreation even nu
trition are all under trained su
pervision. As a result not only is
the danger of infection minim
ized but the general health of the
children Is so cared for that they
are In the best possible condition
to resist disease. It Is as unwise
to Interfere with this health pro
gram as It Is unfortunate to In
terrupt the program of study.
When a child Is sick however,
It Is the duty of the mother to co
operate with the school authori
ties to protect the health of oth
ers. To do this it is important to
learn to recognize disease at its
first appearance. If anyone of the
ailments of childhood la preva
lent in the community special at
tention should be paid to symp
toms that at another time might
be dismissed as "Just a cold."
A flushed face, running nose,
sickness at the stomach or feel
ing of discomfort or restlessness
Is likely to be one of the first
signs that something is wrong.
The safe thing to do then is to
put the child to bed at once and
to call the family doctor.

JOURNAL. STARTS CRAWLING
In the esteemed Oregon Jour
nal, champion extraordinary of
the well known Joseph platform,
we have noticed in the last two
daya a couple of items which to
say the least stir us with curios
ity. The first was a comment on
Governor Plnchot's program - In
Pennsylvania to substitute for the
public service commission of that
state a body to be known unaer
the promising title of "Fair Rates
Commission." The next was a
cartoon by the Journal's ablest
artist showing- Old Man Oregon in
the act of lifting "public serviee
commission" dome off the state-
house and putting in Its place a
brand new dome labelled "fair
rates commission." . The caption
suggests that the Pinchot idea
might work here. -
But now wait a minute! Un
less our memory Is rottener than
usual the Joseph platform cauea
for .ABOLISHING the public ser
vice commission and substituting
HOME RULE lor cities, towns
and power districts In Its place.
Tes sir.-and as we recall it. the
journal was zor abuushiu
and nothing less, and if we recall
the .arguments, it made light of
those of ns who felt that this was
much too radical a step. That was
one . reason why this paper pre
ferred Bailey to Meier for gover
nor. Bailey, with his wide exper
ience In state affairs,' knew that
such a change could not be made
without a serious wrench. . .The
public service commission does a
great many things besides super
vise power and telephone rates.
Though Home Rule in some
phases of utility regulation might
be feasible (we have It In Eugene
with regard to local bus opera
tions ana oeueve it entirely ae
sirable in that field), there are
some services such as lnter-city
bus lines and the railroads which
cannot be controlled - effectively
except by the state.
Can it be possible that the es
teemed journal has become aware
of this fact at this late date? Can
it be possible that it la abandon
ing Its campaign position and its
candidate, Mr. Meier, the gover
nor-elect, on this Important sub

"GIRL UNAFRAID"
Chapter 54
The - weeks which followed
were tilled for Araetn with a
strange sense of waiting. Hushed
expectancy underlying the days
and nights; a mysterious fore
boding which set np a flutter in
her heart rising in her throat
to stifle her.
Though what she waited for,
ahe could not tell . . .
The desire to see Ken had
been madness in the first few
days. She called him up. His
voice was strained and tired
even curt. He would not see her
and ahe knew he stayed away on
her account.
The resignation for which she
had battled so long was gone.
Bitterness welled in her heart.
"Fools . . . fools, that's what we
are standing like three figures
in a chess game, she whispered
to herself. "Wasting life!"
A sense of outraged Justice
shook through her, lashing her
to madness. She waa being
cheated of the sweet and natural
things of life, the things which
were her due. And she was only
asking what was right a home
like Mary Eastwood had an
other small Chickadee with
Ken's eyes Ken's smile ...
She saw herself growing older
going through life in a prim
routine;' thwarted, futile, like
Jeanette,' but without Jeanette's
merciful ability to deceive her
self.
Cards had come from Jeanette
during her wanderings about Eu
rope, and letters on thin foreign
paper scrawled with her bold an
gular writing.
The poetry club nad ended in
unpoetical. and feminine fire
works. Jeanette and an angu
lar spinster were touring the
country now by themselves. Jean

would eventually settle in Paris
and become .one of the restless,
aciduous ex-patriated Americans

No need to tell her to hurry.
She raced to the rear room for
her wraps, flinging excited di

there tidying the place. Out on
the street she hailed a cab and
sat with clenched hands mental
ly shoving the car ahead until
it reached Ken's . office and she
saw the stocky figure of Tom
coming; toward her.
As he hurried her toward the
elevator he explained. "Just as

an unfriendly feeling grew up be
tween Dr. White and Jason Lee,
for reasons that, are (dlsputedbr
historians. But it the baby that
was named Jason Lee White was
only 11 months old at the time of
the drowning, he was born in Sep

fiaaA: there mlrht be a dis
pute as to his being the first white
boy born In Oregon, 1 for Joseph
Beers was born In that month of
that year, at the old mission.
Rriitf reference was made be-
for in this series to the mention
by Mrs. Whitman In herhlS 44 let
ter of "Mr., Gilpin, who has spent
th winter below: poor man, he
has gone to the states without the
prospect of a single companion, all
whom he expected from below
having failed him. This was Ma
Jor William Gilpin, who had come
with the second expedition of John
C. Fremont, In 1843, closely roi
lowlnr the ; Applegate covered
wacon train.; but not continuing
with the Fremont party to Cali
fornia. He had remained at and
around Oregon City, and took a
part there that winter in. the con
troversy of some of the Metho
dist missionaries with Dr. Mc-
Loughlin over the Oregon j; City
land claim. I
V
Nesmith classed him .with the
1843 Immigration. He was a rath
er strange -character; had I some
unique experiences. He was born
October 4. 1822. on the battlefield
of Brandy wine; site on Brandy-
wine creek; Pa., of the famous
battle of the revolution, fought
September 11, 1? 77. He was ap
pointed to West Point from -the
state of Delaware, at 14, in 1836.
He fought In the Seminole war
as a lieutenant of dragoons. He
went to Missouri from Oregon,
and when the Mexican war: came
on was made a major in the First
Missouri cavalry, and had charge
of 1200 men detailed to keep the
avenue or communications open
from Indian depredations in 1847,
and the following summer.
While Major Gilpin came with
Fremont to Oregon) In 1843, he
was not under orders; for he had
resigned. That is no doubt how
Neswith came to classify him as
an immigrant. Bancroft says: "It
is not certain when he went away;
I think in 1844." The letter of
Narclssa Whitman I decides thst
point definitely. She-no doubt met
him both In 184 and In 1844. He
was a very galant gentleman, with
the-suavity of a Frenchman; and
he was described i by one who
knew him well In Colorado In
after years as a most brilliant
man, but mercuriat
Bancroft added to the above
quoted paragraph:; "One thing is
certain, that his pretensions made
in the New York Tribune of
March-22. 1879, where he claims
to have organized the provisional
government, and j founded - the
town of Portland, besides being a
'sofa delegate' to congress from
Oregon, are without foundation In
fact, as the reader of this history
will perceive."
But that Is not ! all of Major
William Gilpin. He was the first
territorial governor of- Colorado,
appointed by President Lincoln
February 28, 1861., So he must
have had lome influence In Wash
ington, however "high, broad and
handsome" and cheerful a liar he
was as to any participation In or
ganizing the Oregon provisional
government, or being a "sofa dele
gate" to congress from Oregon.
And he furnished the name for
the territory of Colorado, : when
the member of congress who was
looking for the proper monicker
was wavering' between Arcadia
and Jefferson and other suggested
ones. Major Gilpin argued that
the territory, and the state, ahould
have the name of its great river.

And even that does not end the
story. He took the oath of office
a Colorado's first territorial gov
ernor July 8. 1811. and appears
to have made a brilliant admlni
atration. Soon a movement was on
foot to make the Colorado terri
tory a state, and Governor Gilpin
waTln the thick of the fight He
was elected the first governor of
tbe state of Colorado, at the same
time a state constitution was
adopted, in 1864. But that did
not stick. Congress did not then
make the territory a state: An
other agitation for atatehood was
under way soon, and another state
constitution was voted In 1858.
But that did not eventuate la
statehood, either. Colorado was
not made a state until August 1,
1878. '

The queen of the mountain
states had even more trouble in
gaining statehood than did Ore
gon In getting to be a territory
and a state. The first difficulty in
Oregon was the settling of the
boundary dispute, followed by the
contest over the extension of
slavery. .
