Re-enforcements in
RECENTLY we discussed in
'Economy of Abundance"
validity of Chase's conclusions that we had passed the produc
tion age and entered permanently into the "age of distribu
tion. The magazine "New, Outlook" for this month carries
an article by Robert R. Doane which states baldly that in
atead of overproduction the country had under production
even in 1929. As a member of the National Survey of Poten
tial Product Capacity .Doane made a study comparing pro
duction with the requirements of an "annual liberal diet' for
the American people based on the circular of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture. He writes :
r "Oa this basis toe most accurate figures disclose aa annual de
1 ficiency ot approximately 27 billion pounds of milk (the equiva
lent ot 13 billion quarts), a deficiency ot 1 1-3 billion pounds of
tomatoes and citrus traits, a deficiency of more than 12 billion
. pounds of fruits and green vegetables, a deficiency of 2 billion
I pounds, of meats, ot more than 13 billion eggs and 2 billions
pounds of sugar. ;
About the only surpluses he found were 16 billion pounds
of flour and cereals and nearly 3 billion pounds of fats, bacon
and lard. Doane takes what we interpret as pointed pokes
at Chase and others of his opinion :
The concept of a, surplus economy is not new. It has ap
peared with astonishing regularity at every crisis since the Na
poleonic wars. The redundant contention ot an ever widening
variety of individuals eager, for some fresh and glittering in
tellectual currency has been that this paradox of plenty repre-
sents a new phenomenon entirely peculiar to our America of the
past few years. This concept of poverty in the midst of plenty
whereby our surpluses hare become the very source of our dis
tress, has penetrated throughout an amatingly large section of .
our people. -It has become part ot the "thought currency' of the
man in the street, It has been given velocity by the socialists,
the communists, the technocrats, the new economists, and last
but not-least, the New Dealers.
"When further inflated with the Idea that all privation and
want are but artificially enforced phenomena in the face of a
plethora of resources, we find in it a new fulcrum around which
- is swinging the most amazing variety ot economic and political
topsy-turvy doctrine since Rousseau set the world on its head by
proclaiming that all heads were equal regardless of what might
be In them."
At least Doane can throw energetic prose, though not so
much of a rhetorical barrage as Chase.
For ourselves we are not convinced of productive scarcity
which-Doane seems to prove or of excess production which
Chase tries to establish. Doane claims we need 500,000 dwell
ings per year and on account of the deficiency in building in
the last few years 2 million a year for five years. He also
says we can't build but 200,000 per year for lack of transport,
etc. These figures sound goofy, and one critic says the coun
try did build 700,000 dwelling units in 1928.
Economic laws finally work out some kind of balance be
tween production and consumption. Maybe we can find some
method which will help preserve the balance longer and pre
vent its getting out of gear easily. We still question conclu
sions that this alleged overproduction is a permanent condition.
Reclaiming the Pontine Marshes
SOUTH of Rome along the old Appian way were the Pon
tine marshes. In the days of the empire they were par
tially drained and 'reclaimed. With the fall of Rome the
works fell into decay, earth movements raised the outlet of
the principal canal so water again filled the lowlands be
tween the Lepine mountains and the high dune3 bordering
the Tyrrhenian sea. Now under orders of Mussolini the area
' of 175,000 acres is being reclaimed. He has set a date, Oct.
, 28, 1935, when the work is to be finished, 4000 peasant homes
j built and occupied, and three cities, Littoria, Saboudia and
Pontina, built to serve them. The job has been proceeding on
. schedule. Already 160 miles of road have been built, 300
miles of canals dug and 23 million lire spent A large canal,
'Mussolini', carries water from the foottf the mountains to
. the sea. '
In the middle ages kings and popes made attempts to re
deem the land but failed. In the 16th century a nephew of the
pope, one of the Medicia undertook the task and had good suc-
- cess, making a fortune for himself by sale of the reclaimed
lands. Other w6rkwas done later, and the old Appian way,
portions of which had been submerged for a thousand years,
was restored to traffic Malaria was common however and
: drove away settlers. The marshes became the paradise of
-aucics, geese and other waterfowl.
The Rockefeller foundation in late years has carried on a
war against malaria in the region, which was so bad in some
places that 95 per cent of the population was infected. Now
the, disease has been rooted out.

Military beginnings of
the Salmon river highway:

Leslie M. Scott, chairman of
the Oregon state highway com
mission, delivered the principal
address at the dedication, July
19, of a tablet in memeory of the
builders of the Salmon river high
way, frequently cauea tne sal
mon river cutoff. The tablet was
erected and unveiled at the site
of the old toll gate on the John
W. Boyer ranch, beside the high
way eight miles west of the town
of Grand Ronde, The address.
without main quotations marks,
follows :
The Salmon river highway was
first a trail of Indians; next an
avenue for military ana govern
mental administration of palefac
es; after that, a track of pioneers,
and now it is a road of motor
travelers, the main connecting
link between the Oregon coast
highway and the interior.
I am asked to narrate the mili
tary beginnings ol the Salmon
river highway. These beginnings
date from the establishment of
the Grand Rond and Siletz In
dian reservations, ana the con
finement therein of the trouble
some tribes, the Rogue River, Mo
doc, Klamath and Umpqua In
dians. Others confined there were
the Calapooias and Chinooks.
Some 4000 Indians were held on
these reservations In 1858-57. The
army built Fort Yamhill and Fort
Hoskins ia 185S to guard these
reservations, and also blockhous
es at Silets and Newport.
The most notable personage en
gaged in the activities was Sec
ond Lieutenant Philip H. Sheri
dan, who commanded Fort Tarn-
hill and afterward Fort Hoskins,
and later served as police patrol
at Fort Yamhill, under Captain
D. A. RuseeU. Captain Russell
was killed in 1864 at the battle
ot Opequoa Creek, Virginia, where
he served under his former lieu
tenant, then raised to the rank
of brigadier-general. (And Rus
sell then had the same rank and
was given the rank of major-gen
eral.)
Lieutenant Sheridan completed
blockhouses at Fort. Yamhill and
Fort Hosting m 185s, ana op
ened a 30 mile trail between Fort
Hoskins and Siletz. He also
built the blockhouse at Newport.
His Personal Memoirs do not
mention the Salmon river trail.
now known as the Old Elk trail.
hut evidently he used it for his
patrol duties. In that work he
spoke Chinook jargon fluently,
which he calls the "court lan
guage," meaning the common vo
cabulary of the tribal conferences.
Sheridan came to Oregon In
18S5 from Reading, California, as
a member of the railroad survey
party of Lieutenant R. S. Wil
liamson, traveling by Upper
Klamath lake and the Deschutes.
WUlfamson and Sheridan entered
the Willamette valley by way of
tha Three Sisters and the McKen
ale river. In November, 1SS5,
Sheridan waa a member ot the ill-
starred expedition of Major Gab
riel J Bains against the Yaklmas.
This failnre followed the defeat
ot Major Granville O. Haller, and
made additional "bad medicine'
for the whites.
Colonel James W. Nesmitn,
commanding Oregon mounted vol
unteers, participated In the Rains
campaign. Rains was a major.
but by some "hocus pocua" says
Sheridan, was made a brigadier
general by Governor I. I. Stevens,
of Washington, in order to out
rank Nesmlth of Oregon. The ex
pedition of Rams faued, s ay a

by brilliant strategy. In that
battle a bullet Erased Sheridan's
nose and killed a soldier.
In April, 1856, Colonel George
Wright, who commanded the de
partment of the Columbia, suc
ceeding Rains, sent Sheridan from
Fort Vancouver to Fort Yamhill
as commandant and quartermas
ter, and to relieve Lieutenant Wil
liam B. Hazen, who had begun
construction of Fort Yamhill. The
ourney took Sheridan four days.
In July, 1856, Captain D. A. Rus
sell assumed command at Fore
Yamhill, and Sheridan was trans
ferred to Fort Hoskins. wr here he
finished the blockhouse begun by
captain Cbristoppher Columbus
Augur.
Sheridan says in his Personal
Memoirs that he spent many hap
py months at Fort Hoskins. Wtta
his native energy he opened a
trail to Silets, and drove a wag
on over it. Oxen drew the wag
on, and refused to pull a bad
grade until it was discovered that
the oxen knew only "frontier vo
cabulary"; whereupon that sul
phurous vocabulary was used.
and, says Sheridan "the wagon
and contents were speedily car
ried to the summit."
The buildings at the fort were
rough and crude. "In those days."
says Sheridan, "the government
did not provide very liberally for
aheltering its soldiers and officers,
and men were frequently forced
to eke out parsimonious appro
priations by toilsome work, or go
without shelter in most inhospi
table regions."
The two reservations were col
lectively called the coast reserva
tion, and were connected by the
trail whose route the present high
way zoiiows.

The Philip Rutledges and Henry

Rutledge despite their parents op

In business. This changes every
thing. "If we marry, my father will
cat me off, and. it I know you, it
wouldn't please yon any more to be
poor than it would me," Howard
tells Caroline. Disappointed that
money should mean so much to
Howard, Caroline break their en
gagement. Another crashing blow
falls when Philip tells Caroline and
her mother. Alva pampered,
selfish woman that they most va
cate "Hawthorn," their lovely
home, and live ia a poorer section
of town. Caroline had never at
tributed strength to her mother,
bat she expected her to carry
through gracefully instead of giv
ing away to her emotion as she had.
Caroline is doubly disappointed
when her father, whom she thought
capable of meeting any emergency,
accepts defeat Returning from a
ride, Caroline learns that Howard
telephoned, but she refuses to call
him, saying, "Howard wUl have to
come back to me unasked." Their
financial status has given Mrs. Rat
ledge a change of heart where
Howard is concerned. "Beggars
cannot be choosers,' she -reminds
Caroline. Howard takes a trip to

Alva eoUapses from shock and f a

Stuart and her son. Malcolm, come
to the Rutledges assistance. Mrs.
Stuart does not know who they are,
but one look at Alva's expensive
clothes convinces her that these
people had seen better days.
CHAPTER XI
Mrs. Stuart had, ef course, been
out of the room while the doctor was
with his patient It was growing
dark. Malcolm had taken it upon
himself te run the sedan into the
Rutledge garage. There was no one
for her to talk with about the family
and she had noteyet learned their
name. While waitinar for the doctor
to leave she went out to the kitchen
to see if she could find out what was
wrong with the gas.
"Land's sake, it only needs
quarter in the meter 1"
Mr. Rntledee came down with the
doctor. She could see them from the
kitchen door at the ead of the halL
While they stood near the front door
talking she went up to asa uaroune
far a craarter.
Caroline told her what the doctor
had said. "She's to have absolute
quiet for a few days at least," the
girl added. Mrs. Stuart looked at
the woman in the bed, her soft white
hands, and then at the daughter, so
quietly facing a situation that must
surely try her courage to the ut
most. Anna Stuart's warm heart was
filled with Pity for them. She shook
her head, said gently: "III go and
make her a pot of tea and some
toast. Then IH stay with her while
yon and your pa have sapper with
Malcolm."
Mrs. Rutledge lifted weary eye
lids, seemed conscious for the first
time of her presence. Caroline held
her breath. Her mother was so Used
to neonle servtmr her that it

To Caroline's great relief she
merely smiled faintly and again
closed her eyes. Caroline motioned

Recent additional information
regarding tha Fraxier-Lemke
amendment to the Federal Bank-1
ruptcy laws designed to enable a
farmer to go into bankruptcy as a
means of retaining possession of a-j
aeot-naaen iarm, tenas to con
firm the early opinion that this is
la the nature of a "club behind
the door" and is something which
will not be used to advantage by
many farmers. This is the opinion
of L. R. Brelthanpt extension ag
ricultural economist at Oregon
State college, who is also secre
tary of tha Oregon Agricultural
Advisory council.
Mr. Brelthaupt recently sup
plied all county farm debt ad
justment committeemen with a
complete analysis ot the term
bankruptcy act recently appearing
tn the National Grange Monthly.
It is noteworthy that county
farm debt adjustment committees
are still regarded aa the best bet
for farm debtors who need help
in adjusting aad refinancing their
indebtedness, says Mr. Brelt
haupt "Their work Is expected
to Increase rather than decrease
as a result of this amendment"
The article la the National
Grange Monthly points out that la
the overwhelming majority of eas
es voluntary conciliation by a lo
cal farm debt adjustment com
mittee still offers the foreclosure
threatened farmer the easiest and
surest means of holding onto his
farm and home. During tha past
year these debt adjustment com
mittees have provided solutions
for more debtor-creitor conflicts
than any other means ot settle
ment Although there are some attrac
tive prospects indicated by a cas
ual perusal ot the bankruptcy
amendment, it holds many serious
dangers for any farmer, the arti
cle continues. A six year pur
chase plaa is one provision and
a rental plan ot settlement is
another, but the prospects are
that any farmer taking the bank
ruptcy route may find himself
farming under the jurisdiction of
a court.
