Editor and Publisher He Found Opportunity Speaking of the recent concert given in Portland ly Roland Hayes, the sensational negro soloist, the Portland Journal says: And they aa that the poor hare no opportunities in America. What of the laundry boy, son of a former slave mother, who haa reached the heifihii In a great art and become one of Ihe most popular Ingora in the world? Anl this despite the repeal of the income tax which the Journal has often informed ua, was the only remaining safe guard left to the door of opportunity, in this once land of (he free and home of the brave. But who said the poor ha'e no opportunities in America? Who but the Portland Journal and other ncwspaers of its ilk and the politicians they pander to, who constantly appeal to class prejudice and strive in every way possible to convince the poor that the rich have stolen their birthright and doomed them to industrial servitude? Ky constantly harping uion the inequalities of life, in equalities that are inherent in human nature and will exist in spite of paternalistic government, and preaching the fallacy that all that is necessary to create Utopia is to pass more laws and take from those that have, the Journal has managed to convince a great many that opportunity haa really been destroyed and so done its share to bring on the unrest of class conflict and social revolution. Roland Hayes, negro laundry boy, overcame not only the handicaps of poverty and ignorance, but the far greater hnndicip of racial inequality and social ostracism, not because of any laws passed to assist or aid him, but because of his native genius and capacity for work. It was individual effort that enabled him to scale the heights of success as it is with others. Not all the laws on the statute books can make a success out of a bom failure or a silk purse out of a sows ear. The government is a convenient alibi for failure for those who will not face the facts, and the preaching of discontent is profitable to demagogues, but the door of opportunity opens freely to those that knock.

The New York market for l'acific Coast eggs has so far averaged several cents above last year's quotations. About 10 percent of the eggs received annually at New York come from the states of the Pacific coast. In 1921, total receipts were 6.512.I573 cases, 30 dozen to a case, of which 67-1,772 were from west coast states. Oregon ship ments showed an increase from 3 1,507 cases in 1'.12.'5 to 40,005 cases in 1921. The car-lot movement of eggs from Oregon and Washing ton was 229 cars in the last quarter of 1921. This year so fur these shipments have averaged 22 cars weekly, destined far these shipments have averaged 22 cars weekly, destined r.s New York. The annual reort of the iVtaluna Poultry Keepers' Asso ciation sets forth prices received by that famous egg com munity as follows: The nveniRO prit-e roet'lvnl fr reus not to our r.wu'lit'rs last year was about SI '4 conls per dozen, or It J ot a cent per dozen more than the ptviviUtiK year, ns Against 50', 4 cents In lS-'O (post-war peak) and 27.1 for tho len pre-war average. It cost approximately $2.05 to feed a hen last year, which was 2' per cent more then In 1923 hut the same as In 1922. as ncalnst $a5r in 19 20 and $1 J5 for the ten. year pre-war average. I.ahor. taxes. Insurance and depreciation were practically the same during 1923. The cost of replacement was sllght lV niore 174 cents per hen than for the previous year (72 cents per henl. about IK per cent less than In 1920. but over JT0 per cent more than for the ten-year period Immediately preceding the world war. The profit per hen ahown bv those ranchers whose accounts were considered and whose farms undoubtedly show the most efficient poultry husbandry methods of this dls;rirt was 31 cents per hen as compared to 2S cents last year, S3 centa In 1923, $1.38 In 191$. and 65 cents for the ten-year period Immediataely preceding the world war. The return of tha farmers dollar to almost parity with that of those engaged In other Industriea has however worked greatly toward the economic relief of those engaged In all kiads of farming operations. When it is considered that Illinois, Iowa and Missouri each produce more eggs annually than the entire Pacific coast reg'on, and that Oregon's production is less than a fourth of that of California, it becomes evident that the poultry industry here is still in its infancy and that it can be developed to an. unlimited extent because of superior climatic advantages. 2. 1'ortn of in (picliv) a.
