ONE GETS TIRED OF PLAYING ALWAYS IN THE FIELD
THE Portland Oregonian in an editorial last Saturday takes
issue with the East Oregonian on the rate question now be
fore the interstate commerce commission. We knew it
was coming:. We knew that now the shoe is on "the other foot"
the Oregonian would reverse itself on the principle that cost of
service should govern rates. That principle was nobl and
Bound when the Columbia basin case was up and Portland had
an iron in the fire. But now the line-up is different. Interior
towns seek the benefit of this principle and presto, witness the
Oregonian's summersalt. The Portland paper contends the two
cases are not parallel. Put the same general principle is in
volved and everybody knows it. The Oregonian's hypocrisy isj
bo bald faced that further proof of its insincerity is not necessary.
, In a nutshell the plea of the railroads in the case before the
commerce commission is that on west bound traffic, or at least a
large part of it, Pendleton shippers be charged the rate to Port
land plus the back haul from Portland to Pendleton. It means
that rates to Pendleton from the east shall be about one-third
higher than to Portland despite the fact the Pendleton haul, is a
shorter haul. It means that on fencing, on binder twine, steel
and innumerable other articles the consumer in the Pendleton
country must pay one-third more freight than does the consumer
in western Oregon. It means that distributing business in the
interior shall be curbed and that distributing business from
Portland be fostered through plain favoritism. It means "rob
bing Peter to pay Paul."
The Oregonian talks about the ocean and says Tendleton
cannot have ocean rates because the ocean does not touch Pen
dleton. That is true. The coast cities are entitled to the benefits
of their location near the sea. Hut by the same token interior cit
ies are entitled to the benefits of their position on land. Inter
mountain cities are closer to the easi than Portland and by all
the rules of ethics are entitled to lower rates because of the
fhorter haul. The point is as plain as the nose on your face.
' "This would benefit the interior as well as the coast," asserts
the Oregonian. Rut Mr. Corey of the state public service com
mission thinks differently. He sets lorth in an article published
today that the railroad plea is unfair to interior points and '
granted will work against them. Does ho know nothing about
the railroad rates? If the rates asked for wont hurt interior
cities it is strange that Spokane, Noise, Salt Lake, Phoenix, Pen
dleton, Walla Walla, Baker, La Grande and all important cities
of Idaho Wyoming, tltah and interior California have united in
n league to fight the plea. Do none of the interior points know
what is good for them. Is it only in Portland that this subject is
properly understood.
. The East Oregonian likes Portland and the Portland news
papers, but it is "fed up" on advice from that source with re
spects to the interests of Eastern Oregon. The Oregonian also
tells us that the Portland chamber did not recommend the
Wallula cutoff. It also says that if the cutoff is built it will not
hurt Pendleton or Umatilla county. It does not realize that
people here are capable of forming their own opinions on that
subject. The Oregonian will soon be telling us it is right and
proper for us to go 50-50 with Portland in paying for the 1925
exposition although Portland expects to get all the cream and
four-fifths of the skimmed milk.
If Portland wants to play ball with this section of the slate
they should play the game on the square. It is unsatisfactory
when the other fellow insists always on being the batter while
we stay in the field and chase their grounders.
A DIPLOMATIC FICTION
TEACE and progress must come through cooperative rather
than competitive enterprise in backward countries. It
must come through international use of export capital, as
Will Irwin has expressed it in "The Next War." It must come
through an open door principle. At present the open door in
China is a diplomatic fiction. All the powers have given to it
their robust vocal approval, and nil of them ignore it. It is as
much s polite lie as the assurances of distinguished considera
tion with which passports are handled to the expelled envoy of
un enemy nation. (Jermanv subscribed to it, but continued to
hold Shantung until the prize u;n lost in war. Russia signed,
but continued to hold, Port Arthur untii that was lost in war.
Great Britain signed, but continued to hold, and continues to
hold, Hongkong and Kowloon and Wei-hai-wei. France sub
scribed, but continues to hold Annani and Kw angchau. Japan
signed, but retains Port Arthur ami Shantung and Korea and
the rest of her imperialist acquisitions on the Asian mainland.
The Nation's Business.
a sKitiots riumsT
A serious protest comes to the Kilit
or of the East Oregonian from a man
who thoiiKht himself to be a 100 per
cent American citizen of Pendleton,
The protest comes after having read
City Attorney Harold J. Warner's ex
planation of the law relative to who
can vote nt the coming election and
who cannot vote. What certain citi
zens can vote on and what they can
not vote on.
Of the six measures to be voted on,
the measure relative to the city budget
Is denied this voter who In his own
lunKiiuKe protests thus:
"It is tho first time In all my many
years of Kond, clean, loyal American
citizenship that I have ever been de
nied my full citizenship at the polls.
What does It mean? It means Unit he
who is fortunate enough to own cer
tain lands or properties at a certain
time Is graded as a citizen Into per
centages. What are we coming to
when we start curtailing the privileges
of the ballot? What have we been
building up during these many years
of American freedom but the alisolunte
freedom of the ballot, the absolute
right to participate in the frames of
all laws and regulations when the bal
lot Is used.
Are we drifting toward the customs
of the old Kuropean countries where
in a man who pays a thousand dollars
taxes can exercise the use of one vote,
when the man who pays thousands of
dollars taxes cun use the privilege of
hundreds of votes and where the mil
lionaire controls the country? ' it
means that laws can be enacted and
enforced over which 1 have no control,
yet call myself a citizen of our noble
country and one of 1'einlletons pi'o
gtvsslve men.
Il means that at tills present time
am in reality hut 5-fi an American
citizen and but 5-6 a Pendleton pro
gressive, for l can vote on only 5 out
of li of the measures coming up nt this
next election.
Hut it is carefully explained to me
thus: Vint who hoist our much be
lli veil American flag on high are divid
ed into twu classes of cllb:ens you
who are property owners and you who
are not. Those of you who own prop
erly call partake in the framing of our
laws and you 'w ho do not own property
cannot enjoy this privilege neither
cun you servo on juries.
Who Is the taxpayers? Who makes
it possible for our city govei iinu nt to
run? Whose juiUnieiit is sound and
whose Is weak? Is it the person who
receives his lax receipt front tho duly
elected lax collector or Is It the one
who helps that particular tax payer
to pay those tuxes: or Is it both?
what docs all this have to do with my
rights to vole as an American citizen?
It is explained to me thus: "If I pay
no taxes Into the coffers of the city
I have no right as to their disposition.
1 1 am not Interested, I must be directly
interested in the money before I can
vote on the subject." Hut at the same
time I vote on whether a man shall die
on the gallows for a capitol crime or
whether he shall not and I have not
the slightest intention of joining his
class of men. You and I vote and use
our power of the ballot to crradicate
thieves and bootleggers but it isn't
necessary to join the thieves and boot
leggers union or participate directly or
indirectly in thoir trade in order that
we can use the ballot to regulate or
errudicate these things.
Explanation is made also that this is
a power given by the state to city char
ters and that we are about to use it
for the first time at the coming elec
tion. Also that we kind of "scrapped?
or "Junked'1 another old law of the
same sort that was long ago used at
the school elections.
It is all tile more reason why this
law should he junked, it is not in keep
ing with good democratic government
wherein all men aro created with
equal rights, and where these rir.hts
are not abused, he as a good American
citizen shall use thoso lights.
My interpretation of full citizenship
wlierein all men and women c:'n en
joy the full privileges of an uncuitail
ed ballot is tho legal age. The sound
mind and a true love for the greatest
flag that, ever helps all mankind to
make our world a decent place in
which to live.
Why 0:111 I not call myself a 100
per cent citizen of our magnificent
country why cannot I call myself a
ltKI per cent IVnilletiininn and enj'ny
all the privileges of one? Am I 1-0
gypsy and !i-P citizen?
Why not put a stop to" this curtail
ing; our privileges of the ballot that
I may happily say that I can freely
participate in all the privileges of a
democratic government?
Mr. Kditor I ant one man to call a
halt.
