"With or without offense to friends or foes

Byron
Signs of the Landslide
The result of the primary election in Wisconsin, where
the long victorious LaFollette progressive regime was over
thrown by the conservative faction of the republican party,
merely emphasize the fact that the voters this year are vot
ing against those in office, regardless of faction or party,
cr of their record of performance. The bitterness engend
ered by hard times takes it out on those in power every
where. Governor Philip LaFollette, the best exponent of pro
gressive policies in office, an advocate of "soaking the rich",
of taxing industry to the limit, of doles and pensions for the
unemployed, and of fantastic schemes of farm relief, who
two years ago defeated the then governor, Walter J. Kohler
by a majority of 127,000, has apparently lost renomination
by 75,000 to Kohler. Senator John J. Blaine, another La
Follette candidate, has been defeated by John B. Chappie,
Ashland editor and the most reactionary protege of the "old
guard."
The LaFollette defeat is attributed to desertion by dem
ocrats who returned to their party and augers a democratic
Victory in November.
In the Georgia primaries last week. Representative
Crisp, leader of the house, chairman of the ways and means
committee, and one of the ablest members of congress, with
a record of 20 years of constructive achievement, was over
whelmingly defeated for the democratic nomination for
United States senator and retired from public life, by the 34
year old Governor Russell, who Rtaged a bitter campaign ac
cusing Crisp of "selling out to Wall Street." Yet no one in
public life displayed more character, courage and capacity
than Mr. Crisp.
It is the same story everywhere, the dull resentment of
the masses over bad times is levelled at those in office, re
gardless of their merits. As Will Rogers puts it "God help
the men in office on a night like this." "New faces in public
places" is the motto of the electorate and perhaps good may
come out of it, despite the discouragement of the worthwhile
to public service.
No party in power has ever won out during a period of
depression. For this it has itself largely to blame, for it
tlaims credit for prosperity and has made the public believe
that it is responsible for good times, and when it fails to de
liver, gets the blame for hard times. The medicine men in
power suffer a similar fate to those in the African jungles
When their wierd incantations fail to bring the needed rain,
only they go back to private life instead of to the spirit land.
The primaries, wherever held, show the same tendency
as the Maine election and indicate a landslide for Roosevelt
In November. And we don't believe anything can check it.
The organized minorities are all against Mr. Hoover, the
farmers are hostile, the labor leaders inimical, the war vet
erans enraged, the betrayed drys sore, the deceived wets
pugnacious and the unemployed bitter. They will take it out
by shying bricks in the form of votes against the president.
If he had any political aptitude, he would have sensed it and
withdrawn his hopeless candidacy.
Student Cars Banned
The order of the Board of Higher Education banning
student automobiles from the campus of the university, the
state college and the normal schools is another example of
the prohibitive mind in action, of the effort of the well in
tentioned to make other people good by statute. The stu
dent is not permitted to even drive the family car within the
sacred precincts of learning under pretense of improving
discipline, strengthening morals and promoting democracy.
.Yet the students are presumed to be mature enough to take
care of themselves.
Like all such inhibitions, the auto prohibition will be
continuously violated, if not openly, clandestinely. The only
good will it will accomplish will be to make the lazy take a
little physical exercise. Joy riding will continue with its
oftimes evil results. In the long run it will be just another
law to be flouted and defied.
These efforts to remold humanity to mass standards
when every individual is created differently, arc the curse of
the age. The constant interference of reformers and the
bureaucracy they create to regulate, supervise and remodel
human nature along so-called moral standards, gets nowhere
in the long run, though it goes a long way to take the joy
out of life. If people would only mind their own business
and let others mind theirs, this would be a better world.
YOUNG DEMOCRATS
PLAN CAMPAIGN
The Marlon County Young Dem
ocratic league, branch of the state
league, was organized here last
night with E, L. Crawford named
as temporary chairman and Leone
Davidson as temporary secretary.
A good attendance evidenced con

the state headquarters of the league.
This delegation was headed by Carl
Hasenkamp.
The next meeting will be called
as soon as the committee on by
laws and constitution Is ready to
report. At that meeting permanent
organization will be perfected and
plans laid for the part the new or
ganization will take In the cam
paign. E. L. Crawford, the temporary
chairman, states that it is the plan
lor the league to take an actlTe
part In the campaign and make
itself felt.

purposes. Up to last Friday not a

ting anyone back to work. Onlv
$18,000,000 of the two billions had
been used. It went for direct loans
to states.
Nearly three months has been

It was only last week some projects
on which the money was to be spent

Many charges will be made when
the situation Is drawn to public at

However, no one seems to be di
rectly responsible. '
It Is not very easy even to hand
out two billion dollars. You could
hardly do it In five minutes. It is
a quite different thing to lend two
bllllonvon proper security for good
projects.
R. P. C. members are working
very hard and carefully. They re
alize a day of reckoning will come.
They do not want to be holding
the bag for a flock of bad loans.
You cannot expect very much to
be done any time soon. It is a
deep dark secret that only three
more self -liquids ting loans are near
action. Good sources indicate these
are the New Orleans, San Francisco
and Maryland bridges. The Los
Angeles aqueduct has already been
announced.
Only these are cready out of 225
applications made for self-liquidating
projects.

ROUNDTRIP FARE
REDUCED BY S. P.
An Important cliange In South
ern Pacific's passenger fare basts
for the winter season, effective Oc
tober 1, under which round trips be
tween the majority of points In
California, Oregon and Nevada will
be greatly reduced, was announced
today by E. W. Clapp, general pas
senger traffic manager.
On the new basis, roundtrip fares
between all points on Southern Pa
cific In these states will be only
one-third more than the one way
fare, Clapp said. Heretofore the
general roundtrip fares have been
90 per cent of the double one way
fare, except for strictly summer and
winter resort business where the
fare and a third basis has been
used, it was pointed out. The new
tickets will be sold with a 21-day
return limit. Slightly higher fares
are quoted for three months' limit
tickets.
A further reduction Is provided
on tickets to and from points In
the Owens River valley, California,
it was stated.
"These new fares are experiment'
al in nature," Clapp said in making
the announcement. "We are hop
ing that they will stimulate a vol
ume of business which has been
found necessary to support the fare
and a third fares that have been
in effect to resorts.
ORDER TO CLOSE
FOREST ISSUED
At the request of State Forester
Lynn 'Cronemiller, Governor Meier
late yesterday issued a proclama
tion for absolute closure of 250.000
acres of land in northeastern Coos
county and northwestern Douglas
county. Including virtually all of
the watershed of Coos river and Its
tributaries, as a fire prevention
measure.
Partial closure of 100,000 acres
in western Douglas county also
was ordered because of its inex-
cessabtlity to forest patrolmen in
case of serious fires. This includes
the western drainage basin of the
south fork of Coos river in Doug
las county. Persons entering this
area must obtain permits.

able to tell definitely where it stands
until the last of November.
A few interesting facts eased out
of the cracks of the locked doors.
The stock exchange tax is bring
ing more money than was estim
ated. So is the tax on tobacco and
of all things safety deposit boxes.
That shows what businesses arc
most active nowadays.
The figures on other items were
too depressing to relate.
A prominent Washington lobby
ist called his friend the operator
of a near -brewery and ordered the
first case of real beer to be delivered
when the Volstead act Is amended.
The brewer replied he could send
it around now but he was afraid to
take the chance. They both expect
real beer will be back (legally) by
next St. Valentine's Day. It is an
even prospect that their hopes will
come true.
Treasury Secretary Mills wrote
that last anti-bonus statement of
President Hoover's and did a good
job of it, . . . His advisers are wor

Tale Of Oregon
Fighting Starrs
A Scotsman will tell one that
the reason his land is so lovely is
that he can look at no mountain
farm, or stand on any hillside
without some spirit from the stor
ied past arising to stir his imagina
tion. Rob Roy may spring from the
heather; fair Ellen still walks be
side her lake. The beauty of roman
tic tradition enhances every land
scape. Such books as "Fighting Starrs"
should add something to the beau
ty of the Willamette's hills and
prairies by re-peopling them with
the dark-browned Chieftains who
once chanted their hate for their
enemies of their praise to their Cre
ator for the beauty of their home
from every high place which over
looked tlie valley. Such places were
the chosen sites of Indian worship
and. were yielded with the utmost
reluctance to the white settlers. The
Indians, whether fierce and wild, or
patient and friendly, went the way
of the nomad before tha settler;
but their names still linger in the
land they once claimed and ring
strangely in our ears as we motor
through the valley cities. Chemeke
ta, Clackamas, Molalla. Multnomah,
chime oddly against Silverton, Port
land. Salem, Albany and suggest
drama and story, con f flirt and ac-
quiesence in the inevitable.
Such were the contrasts that Sa-
bra Conner must have sought to
catch and embody in her story of
Oregon at the time when the Am
ericans were settling the prairies
and establishing their lirst city at
the fish falls ot the Willamette,
Oregon City.
Colonel Starr, a retired army of
ficer from "the States" built a home
on the Willamette above Oregon
City.
Arrogant and rather narrow, he
has little understanding and no
friendliness for either the peaceful
valley Indians, who have been ac
customed to Doctor McLoughlln's
patriarchal rule, or the fire-brand
Delaware, who sought to delay the
Inevitable tragedy of his race by
uniting the warlike mountain In
dians against settlers.
These two characters, Colonel
Starr and Jim Hill, a Delaware ed
ucated at Dartmouth, set the mo
tive of conflict which runs like a
drum call through the story.
Starr's son. Bales, and his daugh
ter Sybilla, tolerant and sympa
thetic, must bear the brunt of the
battle with the aroused tribes and
fight for their home and lives.
Jason Lee and Doctor McLough
lin, both always sincere in their de
sire for Justice for both Indians and
settlers, bring the note of reconcil
iation into the story.
The southern mother and the
charming home-life she managed to
develop in the wilderness, haunt the
story like a fragrance. Humor light

young laughter rings from the pag-

Quoting from Mrs. Minnie Mad
den Flsk. in a letter written to
young people shortly before her
death:
"I have confidence that what
you have learned in your humane
lessons in school will open your eyes
to the very sad cruelty of the ro
deo. Refuse to see the beauty of your
country blackened with the hideous
cruelty of a thoroughly un-Am?rl-can
sport."
Kindness to animals is constantly
being taught in our public schools.
Are the ones who are sponsoring
the bull fight and rodeo helping to
carry on in the making of better
American citizens?
Should we be paying taxes for
anything that has a tendency to
lower our American standards? No!

To the Editor: Geo.- W. Norris.
United States Senator from the
State of Nebraska, in the Septem
ber Issue Liberty of the 24th say3.
In part, that the Electoral college
should be abolished and people per
mitted' to vote direct for President
and Vice-President of the United
States. He states It hampers the
complete freedom of tlie American
Electorate.
He further states "If Lincoln were
alive today he would support Gov
ernor Roosevelt." Also "I take my
stand with the Republican of Lin
coln against the Republican of Hoo
ver." Also 'Roosevelt has fought the
Power Trust at every step and has
aided the farm. Hoover has done
nothing to lighten the farmers'
load."
Mr. Norris makes it very clear
that for some time he and his fol
lowers were trying to do something
for agriculture. He states emphat
ically that President Harding. Pres
ident Coolidge and President Hoover
all opposed his measure, taking the
position tnere was no such thing as
a farm problem. Not until the avl
anche of distress swept the farms.
until misery had spread from coast
to coast did they concede that there
was a farm problem.
He quotes Mr. Hoover as oddos.
ing every agricultural movement
while a member of the cabinet.
That since Mr. Hoover became
President his farm relief program
has proven a failure. In tlie same
article Senator Norris says "One
of the fundamental causes of this
great depression Is the gradual ac
cumulation of wealth In the hands
of a small group. The same cause
has ruined other nations."
