When is a government?
Oregon-history-minded citizens have for a
long period made annual pilgrimage on May 2
or on the Saturday nearest that date, to Cham
poeg for ! the purpose of celebrating Oregon
'Founders Day J" The event they chose to com
memorate! had occurred, according to tradition
if not to history, in 1843 and- many of these
persons looked forward to 1943rand a special
observance of its centennial.
Naturally and perhaps even justifiedly, these
serious and sincere folk are somewhat irritated
by the belated declaration, which comes too
late for anything suitable to be done about it,
that the actual centennial of self-government
or American government in Oregon, is not two
years hence but today!
As to the facts there can be little argument.
It seems that Ewing Young, an outstanding if
not always upstanding character of the period,
died February 15, 1841. He was the first prop
ertied inhabitant of the region to pass aay.
Theretofore settlers had' managed to mind'lheir
own business to the extent that government had
not seemed so urgent a necessity tKat anyone
took the initiative to establish it. But there was
need to probate Ewing Young's estate. So gov
ernment in Oregon, much as our present-day
liberals may deplore it, came into being tnrough
one of the sordid details of commercialism and
capitalism!.
Now the question is, when is a government?
Jason Leej had a notion that there was a need
of government. He called a group together on
February 7, 1841; they met again around Ewing
Young's grave on the 17th, and again on the
18th,-' at which time they established all the
government that seemed necessary. One offi
cial, called a judge; no laws except a few they
borrowed,! and no taxes. Tell it not to the legis
lative ways and means committee.
Subsequently at Champoeg on May 2, 1843,
settlers met and in. effect authorized this may
be important the drafting of a constitution.
There were later meetings at which this task
was carried forward and finally concluded and
ratified and put into execution, and there was
.the first jmeeting of the provisional govern
ment's assembly and a second meeting at which
all that had gone before was challenged by
Jesse Applegate, 4nd then confirmed by ballot.
When, out of all 'this succession of interesting
events, did government actually come into ex
istence? i
Two points need to be made. The Willamette
valley settlement whose people gathered for
Ewing Yojung's funeral was the only- settlement
in the Oregon country of whitepeop!e who did
not owe jdef mile allegiance to
Britain. That takes care of the
i . i-i i 1 r ; i
uusiveness. oecunaiy, iorroai recpras were Kepi
and at each of these meetings there was recog
nition of Tjvhat had gone before. That takes care
of the oiipstion of ermtintritv. !
So it becomes necessary to recognize that
rthe provisional government, or steps toward itsj:
creation, began in 1841. Yet it must be con
ceded thai it was a progressive movement, that
the action of February 18 was riot complete and
final, and: that there were some later meetings
and decisions and events that were important
-perhaps equally important.
If on the contrary February 18, 1841, is the
only .important date, then we must be forced
to the conclusion which for two cents we
would willingly reach in any case that the
historians; of Oregon have been a bungling lot
and that responsibility for the oversight cannot
be avoided even by the current crop.
But it is our further conclusion that Oregon's
provisional government was a significant and
colorful and somewhat unique historical epi
sode, worthy of commemoration; that any one
of several dates may with propriety be selected
as its centennial May . 2, 1943, will serve as
well as any other. The quarreling historians
have served a purpose in clarifying the exact
nature and relation to the whole episode, of
each of these incidents. But it is about time
they ceased to quarrel and got together on
plans for a suitable centennial observance. And
obviously; it is too late to do much about it if
today is the one and only centennial. .
Boulogne
" Anyone ;who ever took, the channel boat from
Folkestone in England and landed an hour and
a half later at Boulogne on the French shore
knows what the English channel is like and
also what one of the "invasion ports" is like.
Anyone, likewise, who perhaps as a soldier has
made the trip to Boulogne, Calais, Ostende or
one of the other French ports now held by the
British has doubtless wjondered by this time
how any I one of them can be much more than
a mass of gritty, pulverized ruins by this late
season in the conflict abroad!

Faai MaUos therefore, cannot be much higher.
Furthermore, the agriculture department has set
higher quotas than originally intended, to oblige
the defense commission, which has been afraid war
' necessities might cause shortages, if production is
held down too much.
Whatever new program Is jelling upstairs, there
fore, will not be put into effect before 1942. The
.powers-that-be here are obviously delaying until
some of the war uncertainties have cleared.
As matter now stand, it looks like the AFBF
plan has the best chance of ultimate adoption per
haps sometime next fall. The income certificate
or processing tax plan has been advocated, but
the treasury, is opposed. As a result, AFBF ap
parently has dropped it. Milo Perkins, chief of
surplus marketing, is urging expansion of the food
stamp plan as the answer, but agriculture depart
ment doubts its sufficiency.
- The AFBF plan would drastically increase pen
alties on farmers, perhaps double them, in an ef
fort to keep production down to consumption needs.
Then it would increase loans from around 52 per
cent of parity (where they are now) to possibly
85 per cent in those years In which the crop was
below normal. Non-cooperating farmers would be
brought into line with the lure of the high loans.
Jointly, a large export subsidy would be paid to
keep the world price low and encourage exports.

the hundredth odd attack made on Boulogne
since the swastika flag was raised on the city
hall there last May; and it is by no means the
last if present signs are any indication. j
That being the case, one wonders if the town
is more than a pile of rubble and fire-eaten
beams, just as Salem would be if bombs rained
down upon it almost daily for nine long months,
and if the occupants of the city, newcomers,
had no interest in keeping it habitable except
for barracks and loading equipment along the
Willamette. The poor citizens of Boulogne, when
they do go home, if ever they do, will find little
to admire and nothing to live in.
Apologies
In accordance with the wholesome practice
of Oregon newspapers designed to promote a
"community of opinion," the Astorian-Budget
reprinted an editorial from the Salem Capital
Journal. It was one "sounding the alarm" that
the "highway fund raiders" were back again.
It objected to bills which would give cities a
share of gasoline tax funds and to Speaker
Farrell's bill to reduce that tax.
The "credit line" got lost somewhere in the
shuffle. And now the Astorian-Budget finds it
necessary to make three apologies. It has sup
ported the League of Oregon Cities efforfeto
get a share of gasoline tax funds .for city streets.
It had no quarrel with Speaker Farrell. And it
had used another paper's editorial without
credit.
So the Astoria paper apologized to the league,
to Farrell and to the Capital Journal. It owed
another apology to itself. The fundamental of
fense was that of saying, inadvertently as has
been explained, that which it did not believe.

"Lee carried this petition on
horseback from Oregon to the
Missouri frontier in a little trunk
strapped to his horse's side. From
Missouri to Washington, D. C,
it was borne in safety over riv

over canals, and along the prim

ago.
"In late December, 1838, when
Lee was meeting his missionary
appointments at the federal cap
ital, he transmitted the memor
ial to Senator Linn, who in turn
presented it to the Senate on
January 28, 1839, when it was
ordered printed. Thus .was ac

This memorial was a clear, well
written statement of the value
of the Oregon country This
memorable pioneer document is
deemed of sufficient interest
and importance to justify its
presentation in full:

"To the Honorable the Sen
ate and House of Representa

your honorable body:
"'Fertile and Attractive Re
gion. That our settlement began
in the year 1832, and has pros
pered beyond the most sanguine
expectations of its projectors.
The products of our fields have
amply justified the most flatter
ing descriptions of the fertility
of the soil, while the facilities
which it affords for rearing cat
tle are, perhaps, exceeded by
those of no country In North
America. The people of the Unit
ed States, we believe, are not
generally apprised of the extent
of valuable country west of the
Rocky mountains. A large por
tion of the territory from the
Columbia river south, to the
boundary line between the Unit
ed States and the Mexican re
public (now California's north
line), and extending from the
coast of the Pacific about 250
or 300 miles to the interior. Is
either well supplied with tim
ber or adapted to pasturage or
agriculture.
S
"The fertile valleys of the
Willamette and Umrxiua ara
varied with prairies and wood-'
land, .and intersected by abun
dant, lateral streams, presenting
facilities for machinery. Perhaps
no country of the same latitude
Is favored with a climate so
mild. "The winter rains, it Is true,
are an objection; but they are
generally preferred to the snows
and intense cold which prevail
in the . northern parts of the
United1 -States. The ground Is
seldom covered with snow, nor
does it ever remain but a few
hours.
" Commerclal Advantages.
We need hardly allude to the
commercial advantages of the
territory. Its happy position for
trade with China, India and the
western coasts of America will
readily be recognized. The grow
ing importange, however, of the
islands of the. Pacific is not so
generally known and appreciat
ed. As these Islands progress in
. civilization, ; their demand for
, the produce' of more northern
climates wfil increase. : Nor can
any country supply them with
beef,' flour, etc, on terms so
advantageous as this. A very
: successful effort has been m
at the Sandwich Islands, in the
cultivation of coffee and the
sugar cane. A colony here wilL in
time, thence easily derive these
articles and. other tropical, pro
ducts, in exchange for produce
of their own labor.

the Government of the United
