vVERKE E0B3 -
The debut of the new Salem
; chapter last. week was successful
to the point that the new officers
; were ratified, and all the mem
bers rewarded for I the hard work
that It took. The fine support of
" ' the local newspapers through pub
licity, rates tome kind of an
"Oscar," and : the goodly ' number
of Waltonites ' from neighboring
chapters as well as three of our
friends from the state game com
mission, all went toward making
' it a memorable "first night
Many fine things were prophesied
for both Salem and the state di-
' vision of Izaak Walton, and since
they were made by experts, they
become a challenge.
; Fractions at Chapter,
- State and National.
The two outstanding character-
fetics of the Izaak Walton League,
which have ' made At worthwhile
and caused it to survive and grow
" In the minds of the public are
1 its sound conservation policies
' and program, and its orderly or--.
ganization' procedure. Although
two sportsmen can make a lot of
noise comparing accomplishments
(or lies) in field or stream, their
voices do not carry beyond the
"local group. This is because they
lack the benefit of well-defined
guiding policies or the proper ma-
chinery; for interchange of ideas,
broadening their knowledge and
improving their judgment,
i through inter-chapter contacts,
1 a t a t e division meetings, or the
; exchange of ideas from all over
' the country in a national unified
program. . : ; ' :
- .The organizational set-up of the
League' is like this. The chapter
- handles the local problems with
the advice and help of the state
division and the. national, and jin
turn keeps the two parent groups
informed on what goes on here,
and why. The state division then,
serves as a clearing house and
guiding body on state-wide poli-
' cies for the various chapters in the
state; find the national organiza-
tiori serves as a two-way clearing
agency: for the assembly and dis-
tribution of various pertinent in
formation to and from the sub
groups, This affords .the proper
mechanics for the unification of
ideas on important national poli
cies, and gives an ideal set-up for
rderly functioning on local,
state-wide and national problems
by the entire membership of the
Izaak Walton League of America.
Notes From Here
And Hereabouts
Try j and look up a copy of
" Thursday morning's Statesman,
. July 13th, and study the cartoon
em the editorial page ! labeled
' "Lost Horizons." There is the best
deliniated editorial on conserva-
tion education we have seen . for
some time, and deserves atten-
tion. ' This is a day when we read
by pictures, and the artist here is
almost a Norman Rockwell in his
detail, background and object les-
" son. Well the Good Book says
something about "the sins of our
fathers." . , ,' .
C. C. Schenck, that red-headed
power-house from Portland is a
booster for the Salem club, and
he and his good wife have visited
vs often lately. Where he gets all
" of his enthusiasm, after running
' a business all day, is a mystery
. bu be is even given credit," or
most of it, for putting over the
sewage disposal . bill to - clean up
the Willamette, at Portland.
: He is the past president of the
; Multnomah An jlrs and Hunters
elub, and promoting the pro
gram for 'their July 21st meeting
in the Norse Hall. Marshall N.
Dana is scheduled to give his im-
' pressions on the "Sports Possibili
ties of the'Alcan Highway." It
1 seems the probabilities are that
' the road will not be completed,
although the possibilities for
; sportsmen is unlimited. These
Multnomah live-wires always
- have a good attendance and are
noted : for t h e 1 r fine fellowship.
, Everyone is invited.

That Man Eric
Doesn't Follow
By FRANK J. WELLER ' I
WASHINGTON, July lM-Maybe that's pjain brains mak
ing Eric Johnston tick. .r.-y. : ' ! w
Government, capital and labor have exhausted all the fancy
answers ... and the startling young (47) president of the cham
ber of commerce of the United States blithely goes ahead gum
ming up all their theories. - .
- Johnston, high priest of capi
talism, has baffled everyone since
he whizzed into Washington in
1842.-
Shocks Old Goard
. He almost unfrocked himself
the first day.
He reasoned: Business can't get
along without government, Gov
ernment can't get along without
business. Yet they're beating each
other's brains out. I'm going to
ask Mr. Roosevelt to let me talk
to him. (There had been seven
years of severed relations With
the White House.)
, "Treason!" cried the old guard.
"Let's see what he can do," in
sisted "Eric's newly powerful
western chamber liberals. .
.- Wary secretaries gave him. five
minutes, but FDR held him half
an hour. ''
Amases FDR
FDR: "Eric Johnston! How in
the world did they ever elect
you!" ... .
Now he is a regular White
House caller. He is advisor to the
economic J stabilization board,
WPB, war manpower commission.
Next he walked over to talk
turkey . to AFL president Bill
Green and CIO president Phil
Murray. Conservative souls sick
ened, but Eric came away with
unqualified welcome to return
anytime.
Let's unravel this phenomenon.
Eric is a Washington, DC, poor
boy grown rich in Spokane, Wash.
He built from scratch four busi
ness concerns there worth $2,
500,000.. i-
He is an arch capitalist, but he
employes union labor in an open
shop stronghold, never has had .a
strike. ''"v '' ' -:
This "long, lanky, half serious,
half playful contradiction of the
business breed, who runs around
bareheaded and wears woolen
socks in the summer, causes many
to suffer sharp liver pains ' say
ing: :., ''
To Management .. .
"I am for unions and collective
bargaining.. ' '
. r" We must 4 have more job se
curity. You can't build a strong
America with half-men. Business
should do something about contin
uity of employment. Labor, too,
has an overhead ... rent,
light, heat, clothing. If business
fails again to give full employ
ment there will be another WPA
no matter who is president"
To Labor . . .
-"Get' this straight. Right now
you are top dog, just where we of
management were 10 years ago.
But don't stick your neck out too
far or you'll get it cut off by a
buzz saw of laws like we did.-
, "Monopolistic practices helped
make us unpopular. Now they are
helping make you unpopular. We
ought to hit the sawdust trail
together." :
To Management and Labor ...
"Turn this country into a con
tinuous brawl and government
will chain you both. Work togeth
er and stay free."
Te Capital . . V " ; -?
"Primitive, free-shooting capi
talism which thrived on low wages
and maximum profits from mini
mum turnover, rejected collective
bargaining and fought justifiable
public regulation of the competi
tive system, is gone forever."
To FDE . . . ,
"America wants an America
where little men can compete . . .
A chance to take a chance . ' . a
people's capitalism.
"There is too much talk about
social ' welfare and not enough
about safeguarding wealth neces
sary to produce welfare. - You
speak of freedom from fear. In the
decade before ; the war, business
life was just one damn fear after
another."
J9 Stalin . . .
"I like your manganese. - It
doesn't ' know it's socialist. You
like our machine tools. They don't
know they're capitalistic.
"Let more soviet businessmen
know the Mississippi valley. Let
more American businessmen know
the valley of the t Volga. . We : are
only three miles apart" (Bering
Strait between - Alaska and Si
beria). ' . ....
