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.

Egg Profits
General price outlook for Tacific coa.-t eggs is declared
favorable in comparison with last year by poultry association
officials. 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.
