Reaping the Fruits
The city is reaping the fruits of paternalism for going into
trie business ot providing service to campers at the auto
park who want all the comforts of home when touring with
out paying hotel bills. A woman who claims that her
husband was burned by hot coffee at the camp grounds is
demanding damages from the council and threatening lawsuit
lor collection.
It is claimed that the table provided for the use of
campers, a portable table they selected themselves, one of
many in use, was defective and wobbled, or that the ground
was not level, or for some other reason, the coffee pot over
turned spilling the hot coffee and burning the camper
?5G4.90 worth.
Of course the camper might have upset the table in sitting
down in the limited tent space or he might have dropped the
pot as being too hot to hold, as countless careless campers
have done before, but then he would have lost all chance to
graft the municipality. And if it had rained, the bill might
have been twice as large for the discomforts experienced.
The city is asked to pay $30 per day for time lost because
of the burn. It is really remarkable what an earning power
injured persons seeking damages suddenly develop. One
might think that a $30 per clay man would prefer a hotel to
the noise and dirt of a 50 cents a day jitney camp-ground
providing free tables and other accommodations, but there
is no accounting for taste.
The Capital Journal has never been able to see the neces
sity for municipalities providing accommodations for auto
tourists any more than for breakbeam, palace car, or other
tourists. Whatever excuse there might have been for it in the
early years of the auto, the great number of privately owned
camps render it unnecessary today.
Jefferson and Pierce
In his proclamation for Constitution Day observance,
Governor Pierce, as usual, utilizes the occasion to play
politics. He contrasts the Hamilton and Jefferson schools
of statesmanship, sneers at Hamilton, praises Jefferson and
leaves the inference that Jefferson's mantle has fallen upon
his, Pierce's, shoulders, and that he is valiantly carrying on
the "age old struggle between the aristocrat und the
democrat."
The differences between Hamilton and Jefferson need not
be discussed, but it would be interesting to know by what
curious mental twist the governor considers himself n fol-
. lower of Thomas Jefferson, for he favors almost everything
Jefferson opposed.
Jefferson believed in personal and religious freedom
Pierce joined the Ku Klux Klan and advocated the Oregon
school bill. Jefferson believed in the bill of rights and in
dividual liberty. Pierce believes in the right of the slate to
interfere with the inherent rights of the individual, setting
aside the ancient "right of castle" and the abolition of the
bill of rights. Jefferson believed that the fewer laws the
Letter, and the least governed the best governed. Pierce holds
that tlie remedy for all ills is the creation of more laws and
more government, more interference and more-bureaucracy.
Jefferson believed in individualism, Pierce in Socialism
Jefferson opposed paternalism, while Pierce constantly
advocates it in the form of public ownership, control, and
espionage.
If there is any similarity between the principles of Jeffer
son and the practices of Pierce, we have never been able to
discern them. In fact Mr. Pierce cannot even qualify as a
Democrat he is a Populist.
A Portland salesman, going 45 miles an hour was stopped
bv a speed-cop near Barlow but let go. A Salem woman go
ing 35 miles an hour was later arrested, taken to Oregon
City, fined $10 by Justice Noble and had her driver's license
suspended for 30 days, although it was a first, offense.
Things like this account for the popularity of the West Side
highway over the Pacific highway.
It is a good thing for the rescued aviators that they did
not drift onto the Oregon Coast, as they would have been
speedily jailed and their slill confiscated. No wonder they
kept in good spirits.
