Music is Ailing
A thoughtful article on "What is happening in world oi
American music" in the last issue of the Portland Spec
tator presents something of the plight in which those who
live by and for music find themselves. Study of the piano is
declining; piano sales dropped in seven years from nearly
1100,000,000 to $12,000,000. Orchestra players find-themselves
without work in theatres because of mechanical re
production of music. Radio has given employment to many
musicians; but one radio orchestra reaches thousands of
people; and often radio music is substituted for that of local
orchestras for small dances.
Particularly interesting is the comment on popularity of
songs. The radio wears them out quickly. Even good music
wears thin; and Paul Whfteman, was it not? who recently
remarked on how radio had cheapened many of the great
classics of musical literature through too frequent playing.
The Spectator has this to
shortened the life of popular songs : :
. , "Before radio, song hits bad an average sales life of six
teen months. People heard a song in theatres or music stores
and bought copies of the sheet music. The total sales advanced
. elowly, reached a peak, and maintained a steady peak sale tor
sixteen months, thus assuring a fair remuneration to the com
poser for the exercise of his creatire genius. Then sales began,
to drop off gradually. An outstanding song hit would sell at the
average rate of 1,156,000 copies.
"Then came radio. The composer's income from sheet mu
sic and phonograph records declined. Nevertheless, hundreds
of stations play his songs over and over again. Always on the
lookout for something new, the radio seizes each new hit, plays
It to death in a few weeks, and thn CRASH! The song is done
to death in three months because it has been overplayed. Total
sale for even an unusually outstanding song hit now averages
about 229,000 copies.
"Thus, although more people hear and appreciate his song,
the composer is getting smaller payment for the use of his cre
ation, and must write many more compositions in a given time
or starve!"
The above relates more directlj to the reduction in in
come to the composer and publisher. Even more important
is the public reaction by which splendid music is made stale
in a very short time through too frequent hearing.
Gasoline Consumption
THE increase in consumption of gasoline in 1933 in Ore
gon although slight, marks a reversal of the trend ; and
indicates that a secular increase is being resumed. The con
sumption in 1933 was 158,905,848 gallons compared with
158,199,327 fox 1932. The gas tax was considerably higher
because of the addition of one cent to the tax last June.
The tax receipts for the year were $7,282,245 as against
$6,315,052 for the year before. This brings the totaU col
lected by the sales tax on gasoline to $54,821,260, an amaz
ing aggregate, amazing not only for its size but for its
painlessness. There has been little "holler" against the gas
tax although it runs from 25 to sometimes 100 of the
wholesale cost of the gas.
Here we are raising seven millions a year on one of the
"necessities of life" to spend on our roads ; but there is bitter
resistance to a sales tax of 1V2 in order to raise about half
that amount for keeping the schools open. Millions for roads,
nothing by the sales tax method for schools!
The significant thing we want to point out is that as
consumpton increases revenues for roads increase. The peo
ple fail to take this into consideration; and of course the
" road spenders never allude to it. Steadily, year by year, with
no additional imposts, these revenues increase, save for the
time of the depression, because more gas is consumed. And
this will continue; but always newer and bigger projects
will be advanced as "urgent" so there will be no reduction
in the tax rates on gas. We do not favor diversion of the
proceeds of the gas tax to other purposes ; but the state would
not suffer much if the gas tax were reduced. Then a general
sales tax could provide adequate funds to finance the
schools; and the total burden on the state would be diminished.
Air and Ship Subsidies
A congressional smelling committee has been uncovering
some odoriferous matters in its investigation of mail
subsidies by sea and by air. Such forms of graft are the nat
ural result of government subsidies. Where the carcass is,
there the eagles are always gathered together. There is this
difference between the vultures of the sky and those of
business. The former do have final limits to their greed;
the latter have no limits, always taking all they can get.
Whether there Was outright corruption in the air mail
contract or in ship subsidies we do not know. President Hoo
ver should have known better than to appoint as postmaster
general a politician from Ohio. Even if there was no boodle
to government officials, the system of huge grants for op
eration of shipping and air lines may be considered a form
of graft in itself.
In the case of the air lines, those who were in on the
"ground floor" (no pun intended) ran miniature invest
ments up to fabulous fortunes. In the case of shipping lines,
salaries of hundreds of thousands were paid the executives
of the companies subsidized by the government. All of this
comes out of taxes. If foreigners want to haul our freight for
less money, why not let them do it?
What the country needs is a cleaner spirit among the
people and among politicians. Instead of tammanyizing the
whole country from the federal treasury down to city halls,
there should be honest conceptions of citizenship, with no
graft, no subsidies, no loose and inefficient administration.
We may never see such a day; but it warms our faith to
keep hoping for it.
In all this churning of the markets the profits go to the spec
ulators. Tha ordinary man gets dlxxy trying to figure out the whys
,wherefores- bst policy to just to stand aside for a time
and let the markets adjust themselves to the devalued dollar. A year
: ago nearly, after the country went off the gold standard there was a
urge of inflation but tha balloon suddenly burst and there ware many
losers. The present frenzy looks as though it were better selling
time than buying time. The present bubble may be pricked very
suddenly. v . ' :
Pres. Griffith told the highway board Wednesday the traction
company wonld more Its tracks at MUwaukie to accommodate the
aew road, "though it win take a big suspender button oft our pants
to do it." Next day the labor arbitration committee tipped streetcar
men's wages $400,000 a year. Griffith must feel like lie's lost his
tats now.

U I ' , . fH)
Health
By Royal S. Copeland, M.D.
RECENTLY I told you about the
great strides that have been made la
the treatment of stomach ulcer and
other' disturbances of the digestive
system. Hardly
a day passes that
X do not receive
Inquiries about
1 n digestion-,
"heart burn" and
"dyspepsia".
These com
plaints are uni
versal. But when
we consider the
manner in which
most persons
live. It is surprising-
that the
number of suf
ferers is not even
greater.
No on will
Dr. Copeland
deny that many of tie digestive dis
eases can be traced to our improper
methods of living. Too many men
and women unwisely bolt their food
and give little time or thought to
their meals. There Is an old saying
that "man diga his grave with .his
teeth". This Is no wonder when we
think of the rush and excitement of
our modern age.
Chew Your Food
The digestive process Is a compli
cated one. To have it operate as It
should requires cars and attention.
Neglect or abuse of the' delicate
mechanism of digestion Quickly toads
to trouble.
It is probable that few persons are
familiar with the action of the diges
tive juices. How many know that
the saliva is necessary to the proper
digestion of food? This secretion of
the mouth is only of value when It is
thoroughly mixed with the food by
slowly and carefully chewing It be
fore swallowing.
If the food is not properly chewed
and Is hurriedly swallowed, an im
portant step Is omitted. The saliva
is not permitted to act upon the par
ticles of food, to get It ready for ac
tion by the stomach. As a result the
food reaches the stomach in such a
state that unnecessary work Is de
manded of the digestive Juices in the
stomach. This overactivity leads to
distress and discomfort.
Cure for Heart-burs
Many cases of dyspepsia and Indi
gestion are , quickly cured by alow
and careful chewing of food. Heart-'
burn, so commonly encountered la
persona who are careless about their
manner of dining. Is often overcome
by slow and leisurely eating of the
food. In addition to the avoidance of
hurry, emotional excitement should
be shunned by those who suffer from
heart-bum and other digestive 'dis
turbances. May X impress upon you that
heart -burn la not by any means a
sign of heart disease. Ths name
might Indicate this. It Is the result
of overeating, faulty chewing and the
Improper choice of foods.
Of course, sot all cases of Indiges
tion and other digestive complaints
are so easily remedied., It la possible
the symptoms may be due to eft or
ganio disturbance of the digestive
tract. GasM of this nature require
complete examination In order to de
termine the real nature of the dis
ease. Special medication may be re
quired la these conditions.

Starting in New England, reach
ing Boston on Monday, April 16,
a covered wagon caravan will
leave that city for Salem, Oregon,
bearing a message from the gov
ernor of Massachusetts to the
governor of Oregon; also one
from the mayor of Boston to the
mayor of Salem.
s
Another message, this one at
least in the hands of Chief Two
Guas, will be brought from the
Methodist bishop of the part of
New England that saw Jason
Lee's departure In 1833 for the
Oregon country; the last named
letter Intended to be delivered to
Bishop Titus Lowe of Oregon
and, presumably, at the end of
the traiL
"e
The end of the trail? Yes. What
will be the end of the trail for
the 1934 Jason Lee special car
avan? It' will be the Jason Lee
mission aite 10 miles below Sa
lem. That will, appropriately, be
considered the Journey's end for
the long trek.
And It Is tentatively planned
that the date of the arrival there
shall be Sunday, September 9 th,
and that appropriate vesper ser
vices shall be held on the hallow
ed ground In the afternoon
with aU the people of the old Ore
gon country and the rest of the
wide word Invited to attend; to
be present in person at that high
est point of historical importance
west of the Rocky mountains.
u u
The date for the proposed ves
per service, and the hour, too, is
tentative. But the place is defin
ite. There could be no other ap
propriate spot. And the date is
about definitely set, as stated.
The special caravan may be
seen after that date, here and
hereabouts, and elsewhere. And it
Is planned that it shall visit many
places on Its pilgrimage between
Boston and Salem all the places
where Jason Lee appeared and
spoke and labored In 1833-4 and
1838- 9, first on his way west and
last during his eastward Journey
on which he embarked for rein
forcements, resulting in the com
ing of the Lausanne party im
1839- 40.
a
. ' The managers of the Jason Lee
special caravan are now working
on the definite Itinerary. The
Boston date, as Indicated, 'is al
ready fixed, and so la the one la
New York, and Philadelphia, with
their programs. All the other
dates will soon be announced, and
the preparations hurried.
Chief Two Guns will be accom
panied by his wife he told the
managers that he could not come
without her; she would not allow
him. That is a rather modern
note for an Indian's wife. There
wiU be other Indians on the Jour-
ney, and speakers and moving
pictures, etc., etc. .
The main feature of the cart
van will be a covered wagon,
mounted on automobile wheels
The cover and wagon bed. etc.
will probably be fashioned on the
plan of an actual covered wagon
that crossed the plains to Oregon
in the Keil colony company ot
1867; from Nenevea and Bethel,
Missouri, to Aurora. This wagon
brought the family of Charles
Becke, Sr., and his son, Cbas.
Becke, Jr., deceased, made a re
plica of it several years ago, from
the actual materials of the orig
inal. Most of the Keil colony wag
ons were built at Bethel. Mo., but
this one was turned out of the
shops an Nineveh, about 60 miles
away. Both Bethel and Nineveh
were colony towns, founded and
populated by the colony, and all
the lands around them under
community ownership, the same
as at Aurora. In three towns, and
holding 23.500 acres of land, the
whole was one enterprise; com
munity property.
S w
Why is the trail's end, the Lee
mission site, the highest point in
history west of the Rocky moun
tains? It Is because Jason Lee, an
swering the Macedonian call of
the Indiana of the westermost
west, landed there Monday, Oct.
6, 1834, and began building the
original little log house of the
first Christian missionary estab
lishment on the Pacific coast
north of the American line. So
there was begun the Christian
izatlon, the civUization and the
education of the domain west of
the Rockies and north of parallel
42.
Civil society began on that
spot. The provisional government
was organized there Feb. 18,
1841.
The Oregon Institute was or
ganized there Feb. J, 1842, and
it became by change of name
Willamette university; thus was
established, the first Institution of
higher learning west ot the Mis
souri river.
Sunday, July 18, 1837, the
first marriages ot white men and
women in the old Oregon coun
try were celebrated there.
The first ground for a white
mother and ehild was opened
there; first west of the Rockies
and north of Spanish California.
S
Civil government began there
that was merged into the terri
tory and became the state of Ore
gon. From that spot went the
cry that called and brought the
covered wagon immigration that
transferred 350,009 people across
two-thirds of a continent to the
ultimate west.
At the Jason Lee Mission orig
inated the movement that brought
the settlement ot the internation
al boundary Question 12 years
to a day after Jason Lee stenned
over the Rockies the treaty was
ratified In Washington.

Perry Devereat, handsome young
lawyer, still aa anca in ieve mw
her as ever, hat her own heart is
uteaehed. She longs for eemeene
to leve seBieoae to really belong
to. Then she meets the fascinating
Drew Armitage. It Is lore at sight.
Drew's meat recent heart had been
sophisticated Dennis St, John. In
breaking with her, he said: Tea
knew, Dennis, yea're a let Uke ae
yon know when a thing is ended
and yea accept it gracefully."
Ned Wingate informs Stanley that
the letter's lawyer, Charles Carle
lea, has been playing the aarket
aeavily and wonders if her fends
are intact. Knowing that leve to
Btanley means marriage. Drew
easnally proposes. Realizing her
extreme innocence, he regrets hie
flirtatious past. Dennis warns Stan
ley that leve dees net last and to
take it lightly. However, learning
that Stanley and Drew are to be
married, Dennis says: "In that case,
forget everything I said."
CHAPTER TEN
The next morning, Dennis called
Drew at his dub. "Have lunch with
me, today, can you, Drew?"
"Love to! To what do I owe this
unexpected pleasure?"
"Never mind that now. Ill meet
yon at the European Grill at one-
thirty."
"Right. This is delightful, Den
nis."
"Is it? I'm not so sure. Good
bye."
"Now what the devil did she
mean by that?" thought Drew,
hanging up. Then, because he nev
er bothered with things that he did
not understand, hi forgot all about
it
That was perhaps one of the
most characteristic things about
Drew his ability absolutely to put
out of his mind any puzzling, dis
agreeable or unpleasant thought.
It made life much more amusing,
much more charming. It certainly
made it. much less confusing, much
less complicated.
i So Drew promptly put Dennis
end her puzzling telephone conver
sation out of his mind, but at one-forty-five
he had waited exactly
fifteen minutes for her in the lobby
f the European.
She came then, cool and com
pletely unhurried. "I know you've
had to wait but I'm sure yon ex
pected to, se yon probably didn't
mind."
"But I did mind I thought as
this was your suggestion you might
n
"Not at all. I'm never on time.
It's not a habit, it's a principle.
Nothing worth having, you know
They laughed together, moved
toward the grill room. It was not
until they had found a table suf
ficiently cool and secluded and
selected their lunch that Dennis
mentioned her reason for lunching
with him.
"About Stanley, Drew just how
serious are you?" She said it ab
ruptly, blowing a faint cloud of
smoke out of her eyes, leaning for
ward, her slim elbows resting on
the table, her chin cupped in her
hands.
"Really, my dear girl, allowing
for a certain affectionate under
standing between us, I cant see
that it's any of your business."
"Whether it is or not doesn't in
terest ma "in the least. Stanley
Paige does. Why not tell me about
It, Drew?"
He shrugged, smiled at her snd
lenly. "After all, why not? I'm hor
ribly in love with her, Dennis, com-
the coming of Jason Lee. The ev
idences ot this observance will
soon sweep from sea to sounding
sea, and echoes ot it will be heard
in all our cities, in every town
and hamlet, throughout all our
valleys and on every range and
plain, and reverberations will ex
tend to aU lands under the shin

her!"
"Weu," observed Dennis coolly,
"what of it? You're been in lore
before you've been in lore with
me."
"I know, but Drew met her
eyes frankly. Tve never wanted to
anyone before, Dennis, I
never even wanted to marry you.
Pre been in lore scores of times
bnt this is different"
"You mean yon do want to
marry Stanley?"
"Exactly."
"I see. Dennis considered her
chilled conxomtni.
"Darn! it alL Dennis, dont look
so cynical I know I've had affairs,
bat what of It? I know if a never
lasted before but I never thought
that it would. I know I'm not good
enough for her and all that sort of
tiling hut she loves me "
"There's no doubt about that,"
interrupted Dennis quietly. "Any
more than there's any doubt about
you're being in love with her. What
about her money, Drew ?
-WeU, what about It?
"She has plenty, of coarse."
"Yea know it's not the money,
Dennis be decent now and don't
accuse me of thatt" Drew laughed
quickly, looking straight into her
eyes.
"No, I don't believe for a minute
it is," admitted Dennis gravely.
"But if she hadn't any money
what then?"
Drew became swiftly serious.
"That's different, of course, I
couldn't have helped falling in lore
with her, that had te happen once
I'd set eyes on her, but I should
hare had the good sense to have
kept out ox ner way.
"How utterly heroic of you!"
"Not at all just sensible." He
met her amused eyes coolly. "An
affair with Stanley was bound to
end in marriage. I knew that at
once."
"You're an enigma, Drew. You
just escape being a rotter and are
perfectly charming in consequence
The nicest thing about you is your
amazing honesty.
"I'm glad there's one nice thing
about me."
"It's pure selfishness, of coarse.
Anyone less selfish could never go
so straight to the point, be able to
see so clearly what he wanted.
Stanley would never be able to
understand such ruthlessness."
"I don't think I follow you, Den
nis." Drew frowned slightly.
Tor you are ruthless, you know."
she continued solemnly. "The most
ruthless person I've ever known.
And Stanley is so utterly defense
less. Drew. You do realize that,
don't you?"
"I don't know that I do, Dennis.
You're talking an awful lot of rot
I know I'm not so much but at
that I'm not so very bad. I intend
to marry her. I think I can make
her happy I'm most certainly go
ing to try."
Looking at him just then Dennis
found it hard not to believe him.
She said so impulsively. "I almost
think you will, Drew I Forgive me
for ragging you and thanks a lot
for lunching with me."

and a worried little line appeared
between her bright bine eyes; an
it was indicative of Stanley's de
tached mood that she noticed notiv

nesa that waa Ellen.
September had come to seem as
intolerably long time away. If Drew
had suggested it, she would havi

ing it wholly pleasant and emotion
ally satisfying to be engaged to her.
She was beautiful to look at com
pletely responsive to 'him, utterly
without experience. Drew, who had
never been patient where lore was
concerned, was finding it ridicu
lously easy to be patient now He
could afford to be.
Then something: happened ever-
night, which proved that he had
not only been patient but wise.

this to you. Try to think kindly of
me if you can."
Stanley had Just finished break

her the message. He liked Stanley
immensely and wished someone
other than himself had been the
one to tell her.
She came in to him immediately,

Anything wrong?"
"Everything's wrong. It's Carlo
