A NEWSPAPER 18 A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITY. ROOSEVELT FLAYS HOOVER VTOT In many years haa one presidential candi- A date used auch harsh language toward another aa did Franklin D. Roosevelt In his Columbus Ohio, speech yesterday replying to the acceptance apeech ot Prealdent Hoover. Roosevelt charges the president with deliberate depectlon of the people aa to tbe aerlousnesa of the depression. He charges him with catering to the moneyed Interests and turning hie hack on the welfare ot the people. The Roosevelt speech Is quite a flight of oratory, We have a Demosthenes In our midst. Possibly he hat been practising with pebbles to get rid of the stutter. Thla modern "Philippic" haa admirable ring end rythm aa oratory. It will be very Interesting to see how the public reacts to these tactics aa the campaign progresses. Mr, Roosevelt himself Is not Invulnerable. The Walker affair, for Instance, The Roosevelt diatribe la Interesting aa a re turn to old-fashioned campaign fireworks, but It la lacking In constructive offerings. Mr. Roosevelt denounces the Hoover administration for putting the government too much In business. He himself proposes government Interference' In business on a scale which Is unparalleled. Many of the banking reforms which the candidate suggests are needed. Many of them are now under way. Mr. Roosevelt promisee to go farther and stop speculation. He Is rather vague when It comes to defining a method. Outlawing a tendency which Is Inherent in human nature might prove Just as difficult aa rigid en forcement of prohibition. When Mr. Roosevelt blames the president for failing to predict the depreaslon and for falling to "tell the people the worst" from the beginning, he la Just a bit ridiculous. Mr. Roosevelt, himself, and every other ; citizen had access to those same fig ures and reports which he charges were withheld from the public. Even such , famous experts as Bab son and Ayres have fallen short repeatedly In en deavoring to make predictions. Mr. Roosevelt waa present all during the trouble. We don't recall that be ever submitted the correct diagnosis for the depression. The failure of Hoover and bis as sociates to understand and prevent all the evil consequences of the economic drift does not prove that Roosevelt could then or now do better, for the real oause of depression lies In' "mass error." Eloquent but unconvincing, the Roosevelt cam paign Is launched with the one big Idea: "Blame Hoover!" .. IRRIGATION AND DRAINAGE INARMING la hazardous occupation. If you don't believe It try to find one farmer' who haa never lost a crop through some kind of III luck. If It Isn't an unexpected pest. It's apt' to be the weather. Some people wonder why so many men stay In farming when there Is sc- much chance for bsd luck. Farmers like to make things grow. They like country life. Beyond that they like to fight with the elements and we sometimes have a hunch that like moat other folks they are really gamblers at heart All of which la by way of pointing once more to the Importance of Irrigation to agriculture In the Willamette valley. Irrigation AND drainage. In thla valley, with Its rich soils and gentle climate, baiarda for the farmer seem to be reduced to those 'of the market In this valley a farmer can always get some kind of crop. Irrigation Is not the -vital factor It Is In desert regions such aa Cali fornia. Nevertheless Irrigation and drainage can . be utilized to eliminate the two chief hazards to farming In these parte. The long wet teaaon tonds to pack and sour the soil unless It Is drained. The long dry season tends to reduce the size and Impair the quality of the crop. Irrigation, properly man aged, Insures a top yield ot top quality and reduces the market hazard by Insuring top price. Irrigation Is easy and relatively cheap. Willam ette valley farmers do not need the elaborate "works" required in dry regions. In nearly every part of the valley there la plenty of water Just under the aurface of the ground. Or It can be piped down from the hills or pumped out of the rivers and creeks. For $30 to $90 an acre, a Wil lamette valloy farmer can Install adequate equip ment, When rain falls during the summer, ns It often does, the farmer can save pumping costs, but pumping costs are slight. Drainage Is by far the more difficult of the two problems and In some parts of the valley, progress may have to wait on the formation of adequate drainage districts. Drainage and Irrigation, howovor, hold the key to the future of agriculture In the Willamette val ley. It will pay all who are Interested In this sort of thing to ride out to some of the farms which have pioneered In Irrigation and drainage and see first hand the remarkable results. to be 'aa. big aa the University," as claimed by Macphereon, how could there be savings? Finally: No measure which cannot reveal Its backers doserves public support. me zorn-Macpheraon bill reveals Itself as a fake economy measure by FAILING TO REDUCE THE PRESENT MILLAGE. It Is 2.04 now; It would be 2.04 under the proposed bill. These are the facta the public wants. The public Isn't Interested In charges and counter charges between Eugene and Corvallls. The school raid can and will be defeated because It cannot stand factual analysis. Everybody can help by calm and patient explanation ot this situation. CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED' TTOMECOMING for the weekend from his trial Ai' before Governor Roosevelt, the dashing Jimmy walker, mayor of New York la greeted at Grand Central Terminal by a band. "Happy Days Are Here Again" la the anthem In honor of the re turning Walker, saved from disgrace, for the mo ment by a court Injunction resting op technicality. Walker smiles and wisecracks appropriately. The .natives of the "biggest small town on earth" are flattered by the verbal largess of their mayor. "Government rests on the just consent of tbe governed," says the Declaration ot Independence and the Constitution of the United States seeks to carry out this principle. Feudal New York, accustomed to the benevolent rule of Tammuny likes tbe rule ot the Genial Lord Jimmy. Though he gets rich out of the bestowal ot bus grants and similar favors, the populace finds him an easy and tolerant regent,, tender to ward all their foibles. The "speaks" flourish for a populace that wants '"speaks," and who knows. In this giddy razzle-dazzle of luck and circum stance, the poor man who now grumbles over "tbe bus gouge" might some day be the owner of a sim ilar "gift of the people." Reformers are uncomfortable. Seabury Is re spected hut Walker warms the cockles. The rest of the country may be shocked at the political unmorality of "the greatest village" but Roosevelt seeking to placate the horrified hinter land treads softly when It comes to removing the mayor whose popularity haa "tbe consent of the governed."

"TTOW can I help In the fight on the Zorn Macpherson bill?" asks many a friend of the University. Krery person can help. The method Is simple. Talk to those you moot as you go about the atato on vacation. Nearly everybody you meet Is anxious to got a few of tbe real pertinent facts on the situation. The state cannot afford to Junk nearly $6,000. 000 of Ita proporly In Kugene and Monmouth In order to make thla change, At the present time the state is In no position to finance the large building programa which would be needed at Corvallls. The stnte cannot afford to lose J600.000 of Eu gene and Monmouth munloipal securities which are Jeopardised. Of these 300,(MI0 are held by the state Industrial accident commission alorte. Junior colleges have a coat of f4.R0 per hour In California. The effort to foist audi an expensive type of education on Oregon In these times Is ridiculous. U Uje proposal Lsachet colles t Eugene war pvBRY day, scientists tell us, an estimated 20, ' 000,000 fragments of those little known Inter- planetary bodies ot our universe strike this old world of ours. On nearly any clear night they may be aeen, bright points streaking through space for an Instant, bringing forth shouts of Joy from the youngsters who delight in counting the "shooting stars." In spite ot this great number, scientists have great difficulty In gathering these meteorites and often offer tempting remuneration for the fragments. Recently the Smithsonian tnatltute, through a representative here, offered to . pay a dollar pound for meteorites which Lane county residents might have or which they might find. While It Is not to be expected that very many will be able to take advantage of this offer, It Is to be hoped that some day, since the Importance of the study of these tiny fragments of our universe cannot be minimised. It was through the scientific atudy of meteorites that the most generally accepted theory of the origin of the earth, the planetealmal theory, waa postulated, In accordance with which scientists be lieve that the earth Itself Is nothing more than a huge meteorite, probably broken off from the sun, and to which, over a period ot unesttmable time more meteorites, or planeteslmals, gradually were added from the original solar nebula till our planet became aa we now know It. ' It Is through the study of the meteorites only that scientists can gain any more factual knowledge about the uni verse since these meteorites are the only tangible material from other worlds available here on earth The Willamette meteorite, one of the most 1' terestlng solar fragments known to science, was produced" in the Willamette valley. It Is the third largest iron meteorite In the world and Is unique for its deeply pitted and aerated surface which has unusual significance In meterology. This meteorite, weighing 15 tons, waa found In Clackamaa .county, on the Tualatin river In 1902 by a prospector named Ellis Hughes who became noted as the only man ever to run away with a 15-ton meteorite. Hughes, realising that he might not profit from hla find since It was on ground be longing to a land company, built a strong wagon of logs with wheels made from aawed sections of logs. Combining his mining Ingenuity with great persorverance, he managed to topple the giant Iron muss over onto the crude carriage and then by menus ot a home-made capstan and his horse, he hauled the meteorite to his homestead, three- fourths of a mile distant. There It was first viewed by scientists, described and hhotographed. It now rests In a meteorite collection In Now York. This metoorlte wns recognised by the Iron which the minor first thought waa a voln of ore. Smaller motoorltea may ho recognised by their unusual weight, nnd the black aurface which causes them lo look ns though they had boen covered with soot, and by their pitted surfnee. Fragments otherwise appear ns ordinary stones, hut are heavier, will display Utile points of nickel Iron when ground or filed. S. K. There's nothing like a change ot aeenery and en vironment for widening the mental horizon. For In stance, AI Capone saya from his Atlanta work bench, "Rackets get you nowhere but here." A lecturer on big game hunting says that It you look a bear atralght In the eye. he'll run. But the lecturer forgot to say In which direction. , A town In Tennessee made a bonfire of all the bathing suits owned by Its Inhabitants. .We under stand the blste was visible for several feet. Oversleep Is ss harmful aa overwork, a lecturer on health tells us. But he might have added, deaths from either have been very rare of late. A woman may be able to keep her house alone, but she always seems to need another woman to help her keep a secret. What most of us would like best right now Is to have the neighbors accuse ua ot allowing our wealth to go to our heads. Another argument which atarted In Europe: which came first, tbe jentlenian or the agreement WHAT SOME THINKERS THINE Compiled by CLAY B PALMER Pastor of First Congregational Church llT E. WOODWARD, author: "The " essential of capitalism is greed. The capitalist producers is a gambler in a gnme, ,. . . Greed defeats it self sin-ays and invariably. Not only is greea lor money sell-destructive: every kind of greed and in that I include greed for power and fame and success eventually destroys itself. Harriet Stanton Blatch, 'eminent women student of economic questions: "If you saw a family ron on the system of economic life today you would say it was composed of insane creatures. What sort of family would it be with competition the order of the day, each child for itself, each moved by rugged individualism to get bis own particular teet In the trough and gurgle most of the , family in come' . . Louis I. Neumann, one of the great Jewish Rabbis of America: "Taxation is too often calculated to lift burdenH off the shoulders best able to bear them: lobbies can be maintained bv the financially successful in order to enact laws In their own Intoresrs. Unless statesmen understand muss psychology, nnd guide mass opinion in the channels of wisdom, our democ racy in these troublous days will be come anarchic and revolutionary." Helen Keller was recently given a IX.D. degree by the University of Glascow, Scotland, and at the lunch eon afterward she said: "Not until Jesus looked with pity upon the shun ned and the outcast did men begin to give a helping hand to the afflicted. . . The parchment which I hold In my hand is a sign that the race is not alwaya to the swift. When I think of what one loving human being, hns done for me I realize what will some day happen when hearta and. brains work together." Prof. HornelL, Hart, Bryn Mawr Sociologist: "The present situation nf the world is to be considered a 'spirit ual depression' even more than an 'economic depression.' . . Let us resolve that we will use whatever in fluence we may have to help, bring out of this world wide catastrophe a new and better social order a civilization founded on human broth erhood, on creative co-operation, on constructive idealism." Prof. Clair Wilcox. Swnrttimnro Economist: "If we would offer to re duce our arms, cancel tbe debts owed us, and reduce our tariffs, we could easily persuade the other major powers to cut tariffs and armameuts and abolish reparations. For every dollar of debt that we insist on get ting, (and don't) we are losing ?10u a year." Dr. Johns Nellen, President ot Grinnelt college: "Good will, confi dence and loyalty, sacrifice: there is nothing novel in such a prescription for the ills of our sorely ailing civil ization. The remedies are tried and true I they are of the very essence of the Christian formula. The proud, self-willed generation that brought'on the Great War and haa since vainly sought to heal the wounds of war with the nostrums of nationalism and profiteering has only aggregated the evil by clinging to the stupid old superstition that the hair of a dog will cure its bite. The leadership of tbis generation lias proved its tragic incapacity to repair the terrific havoc for which it is responsible." ' Karl T. Compton, President of Massachusetts Institute of Technol ogy: "If the business depression teaches anything, it is that we must plan or perish. It is quite generul in times like the present for many peo ple to fall into tho error of believing that some one project or proposition .will magically restore normal condi tions. Anyone who expects stability of employment to come by such means Is looking for s pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. The economic order of things does not respond to Dr. J. G.' MoKenzle, English Psy chologlst: "I hold no brief for the church. But with all her faults, she is the mother of us all. I know of no stream of regenerating Influence flow' ing in modern life that has not i's source in the life and teaching of the church. As one whose time is oc cupied a great deal with those whose lives are tnwarteu ot mental or psy chological sickness, I should like to sny that tbe simple faith which the church inculcates in her members, the simple hnbit of prayer thnt is deepened nnd strengthened by wor ship, are the greatest hygienic measure.' IN THE EDITOR'S MAIL BAG HALL ON MILK PUOENB, Ore. (To the Editor) 1-1 We are Informed by ye editor ond by Mrs. Gnwley that there's no milk combine here. If you were a whole sale crocer and the price of sugar advanced, or declined !!S cents, and all the sugar concerns sent you notice of it all at the si me time, wouldn't you be justified in thinking that there was a sugar combine even if it was "gentlemnn a agreement That's the way I look at Ihe milk prices in Eugene. Why are all the hie guns charging the same price? Is there a "combination of gentlemen" behind It. or is it Just nu accident? Tell It to the little birds. 1 enjoyed Mrs. Reed - reply to my 'opinion" as published a week ago. Mrs. Uawley falls bock on thnt old adage which states that if a man has poor argument, lie starts in colling names, or manifesting great concern because of the other fellow s ignor ance. What we consumers want Is not riintrihn and abuse, but lower price. The argument Hint milk ennnnt be delivered for less thnii lit cents, un less the quality suffers is only another it of stating lets charge, 'em all the product will stnnd. or. like a president of a railroad once said when the public wanted cheaper freicht and papfcencer rates: "l,et the public Do oamnen. Who ever heard of an epidemic of typhoid fever among farmers who didn't bnve alt this folderol equipment to cool the milk, etcr There s no such ep.demlc now Rmnnc the formers who are using milk the same way their fntliers used it for years nnd years. When I owned nnd operated s farm 1 set aide a whole pan of milk for my own personal use and I'm still alive and kicking. The milk I used didn't go through milking machine, or a refrigerator. and never saw a thermometer during Its life. There's a whole lot of "hooey" bout having to use certnin kinds of milk bottles, milk cups. etc. The Medo Ijind Creamery company places a larce ad in your paper twhich you may credit to mv first protest it rays to kick for the Reslster-Guard) nd the proprietor savs "Think " That's what I'm doint. If the rest of the town would do a little, milk prices would be around 7 cents. He states thnt t cent reduction means a loss of S.MKM per month from milk producer paroll. lie almost In-ows a fit became this s.mhsi is likely to be shifted from the pockets of a few milk prnduoerl and left In the Duckets o thott kbj aiight spend it for the good of the butcher, the baker and the candlestick mnker or at tho public market. He rejoices to see prosperity com ing back maybe like Wall street, where a handful of the big guns grab the big roll by shearing the little lambs. You can't scare anybody by telling them that "the babies are likely to die instantaneously, unless the milk runs through a cold pipe." It I lind been In the milk business here and the city put over a program such as they hnve now to the hard ship of the producer, and to the detri ment and suffering of those who want milk but can't nfford It, I would have said to Mr. City: "I cannot supply milk In Kncene nnd make a reasonable profit at the prevailing price nnd buy a fleet of trucks, n c.iolini: system and all Ihe other pnraplicrn:-Pn you insist upon and so 1 will withdraw from the scene." If all of yon producers had followed suit, the city would hnve been ahead all this extra salary or nn insnector. and the consumers eoul.l hnve had plenty or milk at a 'sir price and no body scared about tvphoid fever. If the city would concern itself more ah Hit pure war than saving oaoies that milk lr.mt kill, this pro test wouldn't have bcn necessarv. II. W. HALL. POTTAGE GHOVE, fire. tTo the w Kditorl. The weta talk a lot about "personal liberty." io you know Hie "peraonal liberty" that the llininr traffic has to offer? The liberty to make as many ns possible nbiect slaves. Yes, thnt is John Bar leycorns liberty, and he always ex ercises his liberty, too. John Barleycorn, otherwise knonn as "booze." not only makes slaves of the poor and ignorant, but the riclu and even the great, are his slaves. Whn Is a slave? One who must do as a greater power wauls him to, re gardless of his own will ind desires. When ton become John Barleveorn'n slave, von can no longer do as you really foel you should, but his power is greater over you than the poncr of love, or of duty, or of respectabil ity, l'o you think you will enlor his power? When .1. B. bad his full and free powers. I have seen men lying bv the roadside, faces red and bloated, dead ,'o the world, lower than pis. Pigs know no better. Men do, ao shame upon them. I remember V B. slaves making travel in trains disacreeahte. One in stance: A slave saiing in a loud voice, "Ira a pretu good aian. and the way to atay a pretty good man, is to stay a pretty good man." Over and over it was spoken in a loud voice, until you wished be would go to sleep. In the street carB you met J. B.'s slaves. One Sunday night, a slave talking loudly and in a quarrelsome way was told by the conductor, to stop. The slave kept on. J. B. had numbed his sense of restraint and de cency. Tbe conductor told him he would put him off. He might as well have told the wind to stop blowing. So tho car was stopped snd he was pushed off. As the car went on, I looked out the window and ssw an'eignt year old boy standing beside bis drunken father, miles from home, in a strange part of the city, after 0 o'clok at night Is J. B. kind to children? You say! Years ago, I read of a slave, a newspaperman. He had been brilliant but he kept going down the scale, liq uor stealing his ability from hira.. Now, he has an apartment over s saloon. Every morning he waked with a splitting headache, and his whole body quivering. As quickly as his.shnklng hands would help him, he dressed and wab bled down the stairs into the bar room. . He ordered his drink, as strong as they could make it. Had he tried to lift tbe glass, he would have spilled ts contents. A handkerchief was loosely tied about his neck, he slipped bis hand through that and held it steady while he drank. In a little while the nolsan did Its a-ncl .-.I the slave went about his duties. But be wasn't a- free man. Every little while be had to visit other saloons to uuioiri- up nis waning powers, Poor, abject slave! I haven't seen s drunked man In years! I rejoice in what prohibition mis done for our country.
