Test of Competition AFTER reviewing: the growth of consumer cooperatives the Woodburn Independent says "it is advisable to start thinking of what we are going to do about it." Insofar as political action is concerned, nothing needs to be clone, be cause the laws now are extremely friendly toward coopera tives, and the state has agents who give free advice as to the methods of organization. The propagandizing tf the people in behalf of cooperatives may be required in order to stim ulate their growth ; but we are not aware of the need of addi tional legislation. Many cooperatives, both of producers and of consumers are flourishing at the present time. The Independent speculates about the fate of newspa pers if the cooperative organization becomes dominant, her cause newspapers depend on advertising, and if competition is supplanted by the cooperative there will be no advertising, which would force quite a change in newspapers. True enough; but as the Independent says, if the net result would be a better standard of living for the people, then newspa pers would have to readjust themselves to the change or go into the discard. . ''A However, the Independent, without realizing it, touches one weakness of a cooperative set-up: the lack of competi tion. Competition has been the imerce. Where it is lacking, even in so-called natural monop olies, the result is a marked let-down in drive and push and efforts to improve service and lower price. Lacking compe tition, the cooperative is apt to drift to a stationary level, and a stationary standard of living, instead of a constantly " improving one, which has been, on the whole, the record of the competitive system, in spite of its vices. j Cooperative organizations have .suffered ; from anothfir '. handicap : the unwillingness to pay for brains. The success of any enterprise depends on management. Where mediocre talent is pitted against shrewd business brains the latter "us ually win out. The cooperatives that have succeeded often owe their success to the high quality of brains the directors had sense enough to hire. 1 i; The consumers cooperative movement will probably grow. It appears to be in the way of becoming the favorite device of those who favor "production-for-use" and yet are unwilling to go the whole way toward socialism. Cooperatives are distinctly not state socialism, because they operate on a business basis, independent of government. In the past the progress of the movement has not been, very rapid, chiefly because of difficulties in making them succeed in the face of the highly organized, sharply competitive system of retail stores now developed. How far the movement ; will go in the future will depend on how well it meets that competition, and on the service and the prices it offers the public. That is the fairest kind of test. A Fiehtinff Soeecli THE six sad governors who sobbed out their miseries in confessing "disappointment' over the speech of accept ance of Governor Landon, should be recalled for a fresh effusion of sforrow at the radio wailing wall.1 If they were .disappointed at Landon's speech, they were t doubtless an gered by the address of Frank Knox, republican candidate for vice president, who broke into the campaign with stirring oratory, with severe castigation of new deal failures and frank challenge to preserve America as a zone: of free enter prise. - ""!';.?. Knox himself is typical of that freedom. He began in the very humblest rank in society, and fought his way upward step by step, until now he is editor and publisher of one of the great daily papers of the country. He is no "economic royalist". He was born with no silver spoon! in his mouth. He has not lived on inherited wealth. As he said he has always worked, because he had to work; and his success has come as the result of effort and use of brains. Naturally he has little patience with the defeatists who say the making of America is completed and all we have to do now is to keep the machine running and divide up the proceeds. He sees here plenty of opportunities for industrial pioneering and achievement. - j j I J If the six governors criticised Landon because he wav ered a few years ago and gave some support to the new deal they can withhold that criticism of Mr. Knox,' because Knox has been an uncompromising foe of the new deal from the time it was revealed in the NRA. Through his paper he has been a forthright fighter, and has had the satisfaction of see ing one after another of the alphabetical brood go under in the face of public opinion increasingly hostile.! In his speech Knox spoke like the fighter, that he is. He charged the administration with failure "to meet its respon sibility for the orderly, impartial and economical adminis tration of the affairs of the nation." The indictment stands. Even the-friends of the president cannot successfully defend him against the charge. His administration has not been or derly, but "government by guess". It has not been economical but wasteful in the extreme. It has not been impartial. In stead it has fattened on Farleyism and has encouraged class antagonisms dangerous in character. ? In Candidate Knox the republican party has a man of oratorical ability, with a rich 'background of long exper ience in public and business affairs. He will probably carry theTrunt of the speaking campaign; and the fighting qua lity of his address of acceptance shows he will wage the bat tle in enemy ground. The republicans will carry on an offen sive, not a defensive campaign. ... .The governors should have another rehearsal if they pian a reply to Knox. ' Politics and Oregon WPA I IN a foreword to WPA employes in a bulletin from the state office E. J. .Griffith, state administrator, has this to say about politics and the WPA: v i "I wish at this time to reiterate and emphasize previous statements that the WPA la a nonpartisan organization and no political activities, within the organization win be permitted. With the approach of another. election, it is particularly Impor tant that this rnle be strictly observed. An honest, conscien tious day's work from every WPA employe is expected, bat their political beliefs hare no part In our program, Qur record for nonpartisanahip and honest administration 'is clear to date. Let each of as extend every effort to maintain that record. Insofar as our knowledge goes of the operation of WPA in this state, its administration has been quite free from pol itics. No scandals have been reported and there have been no offensive odors suggestive of political intrigue. We say this because Griffith is entitled to commendation in his effort to conduct work relief on a non-partisan basis. Of course there may be counties where political influence worked to the det riment of the service ; but that has not been observed locally, nor reported to us from other parts of the state. It is conceivable that a squeeze will be put on persons on the relief rolls this fall to get them to "vote right." That squeeze would not be employed by the WPA administrators hut by party underlings under the Farley whip. : Relief ers have votes and will use thera. If the democrats are wise they will not try to regiment them, because the re action would be farnore costly than the gain. Except in in dustrial centers the relief vote, even as a unit, is hardly apt to be decisive. There are so many minority blocs of votes they are apt to offset each yother. ' We are somewhat inclined to agree with Farley that the election is "in the bag", but with a different meaning for the phrase. It is "in the bag" of political tricks; for the season Found 1SS1 ! stimulating agency in com- The Great Gamo of Politics By FRANK R. KENT Crrighl tS.il. by Taa iUl tits ore Sae Few Tears Will B Shed FOR WEEKS It has been report ed that the American Liberty League was about to dissolve and disappear. Late in Jane , there actually was a plan to have it cut its throat and die npon the door step of the Philadel p h I a convention- A lot of people were all ready to cheer. Recently rum ors of Its In tended suicide have been re rraaa B Blast vived. : i UNFORTUNATELY; they do not seem well- founded. Though many would say of its demise, aa Mal colm, son of Dancaa, said of the Thane of Cawdor, "Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it." the league lingers on, still issuing iu stnffy statements, sol emnly pontificating about the Constitution, profoundly i analys ing the Federal finances, clutter ing up the desks of Washington correspondents who long since ceased to pay any attention . to the league except as something to slap at. , , v : THE PERFECT example of po litical pouter pigeon, the league has set an all. time record -for iaepitude. Ita short . career has been marked by a series of al most incredible mistakes. Violent ly inveighing against the reckless and wasteful expenditures of the Roosevelt Administration. It has. Itself, spent tbe money of . Ita member with a singular lack of results. That does not really tell the fall futile story. Actually the league has achieved more than a hundred per cent waste, because the effects of Its spending has tended to promote the very cause it aimed to cripple, cripple the movement it proposed to promote. NO ONE WILL dispute that, from its Inception, the League has been a help to Mr. : Roosevelt and the New Deal, a handicap to those who opposed him and it. From the day it was launched it played Into his hands. It enabled him, as nothing else could, to capital ize the silly and 'fallacious idea that all his opponents were mul timillionaires. His publicity direc tors seized upon the league with shouts of joy. For months few statements or speeches have come from New Deal spokesmen with out bo me inflammatory reference to the league, which continues to give one bumble puppy perform ance after the other nntil the organisation has become a nation-, al Joke. : IT ISN'T only' tbe New Dealers who use the league as a football or. a punching- bag. Everybody does it. At tbe recent Townsend convention in Cleveland, the anti Roosevelt speakers took resound ing cracks at the Liberty League, held it up as something sinister and slimy. The delegates hissed Its name. As for the Republicans, they shun touch with the league as though it were exclusively composed of lepers. It is a fact that at the Republican conven tion, after the Landon nomina tion, there was a serious sugges tion that an effort be made to get Mr. Jouett Shouse, the high salaried director of the league, to make a statement denouncing Landon. It would, it was argued, be worth a good many votes to him if Shouse should assail him. In addition, it would put a crimp In the publicity for the Philadel phia convention, which had been built. up largely with the idea of trying to Identify the league as a Republican adjunct. The point now has been reached, where the league is regarded as a general blight. No one has a kind word for it. For that matter it does not deserve one. MOST OF the league mistakes, it ia true, have been due to sheer stupidity. The really wicked things chargeable against It are what it did to. Alfred E. Smith and the unfortunate Da Pontff. It brought Mr. Smith down to a banquet which should never have been held, made him speak in an Impossible setting and under the worst possible auspices. The' re sult 'was a political murder. As for the Du Ponts. it is Just a shame. The Da Ponts are really, pretty Tine people. Just as patri otic and public-spirited as any one. Four years ago they were al most eolidty against Mr. Hoover and for Mr. Roosevelt. Their money helped elect him. They are a good family. Yet, one way or another, tbe fatuous league man agers have exposed the Du Posts to public scorn. Vast numbers of Americans these days, regard the Du Ponts as devils. There Is, ef course, nothing diabolical about them, nothing sinister, nothing bad. In business they are hard to beat, but politically they seem boobish beyond belief. No other family In the country would have permitted Itself to be used in the way this family was used. There will be few tears shed when the league passes.

Later, he work ed la tbe state printing office un der Frank Baker. He became man ager of the printing department of Oregon Agricultural college in 1897." The above Interview harks Sa lem history back several genera tions. " There was no state printing of fice as such in those days; not un til a comparatively few years ago. when the state bought Its own plant and put the state printer on a salary. A. Bush was the territorial printer from the beginning, also the first state printer. Then the printing and binding were done ia tbe office of The Statesman, first at Oregon City, beginning March 28, 1851; then in Salem from June 21, 1853; then in Corvallls April 17 to December 18, 1855; then back to Salem. In Salem, till the Corvallls In terlude, the office was in the building of Nesmith and Wilson that stood where the Fry ware house In now, and after that in terlude in the Griswold block, still standing, southwest corner Com mercial and State; now, with a third story long since added, call ed the Murphy block. I V W -.For the period of 1872 to 1878. when W. P. Keady was foreman of ; the state printing office, and for a considerable time before, and for years and years thereafter, the state printing and binding were done In the establishment of E, M. Waite. State printers came and went., but Waite did their work, until in the nineties, when Frank Baker mammouth out-of-doors produc was elected to that office, and deHion will portray the pioneer his- manded space for his ' printing Plant in the state canitol that burned April 25 of last year and was granted the space. - m ': For several years before the 1872-8 period, and for some time thereafter, the office of E. M. Waite was in the Griswold build Ing, and the binding as well as the printing for the state was done there. . Later Waite . moved his office to a building that stood where the First National bank building Is now, and had It there nntil his death, early in the present cen tury. Not long after hi death. The statesman sought the Waite print ing plant, and thus, after a long lapse, began general printing again. In the 1874 Salem Directory one finds the Watte printing office in the Griswold block, and his home northwest corner Front and Cen ter. That location waa across the street from the birthplace of Will iam F. Keady.

Of course, she hoped that she weald sot always be a restaurant hostess, but sne closed her thoughts to any vol ntary cnange until she felt very sure of herself and any other fu ture. If Mr. Bauer still retained her after a couple of weeks, she would return to Mrs. Jume s and relax Into the comfort of sane living once more. But she would not venture too much until she was sure. Recent experiences had developed her cau. tlon and intimidated her confidence. Then, one day, Jed walked into the Fireside, glanced about hastily xor a table, and saw Lynn.
