What is the Matter With Oregon?
W. W. Cotton, counsel for the O. VV. R. & N.
Company, said in a speech before the Rotary Club
of Portland Tuesda 3 ’ of last week:
“ We are biting off too many things; we don’t
chew them enough, and some time our digestion
is going to break down.”
Mr. Cotton was talking of the lack of “ Re
sistant Energy” on the part of the jieople who
are asked to support the silly and useless meas
ures that all the cranks and agitators seek to
make into laws.
Maybe Mr. Cotton was right, and maybe we
attach too much importance to the legislative
abortions, and maybe we waste more energy
sometimes in growling about undesirable condi
tions than it would take to correct the evils of
which wc complain.
The recent report of the Census Bureau shows
that experts have calculated that the population
of Oregon on July 1, 1914 will be 789,290, of
which Portland wilbhavc 200,001.
If these figures arc correct, Oregon will have
made an increase in the last four years o f over
110 thousand, and Portland will have added more
than 53 thousand to her population, a gain in
her case of more than 25 per cent, while the in
crease for the entire state is about 17 j>er cent.
There are some states that have beaten Oregon
and some cities that have outstripped Portland
in the per eentage of increase, but as the average
growth for the nation is estimated at a little above
7 per cent, we ought to feel that wc are doing
very well.
In 1880 Oregon had 175,000 population, and
a state debt of $511,000. In 1912 (the last state
ment at hand) the state debt had been reduced to
$31,000, and the population now at 731,000.
At the present time about 0.8 per cent of the
total population o f the United States are in Ore
gon; and less than one-tenth o f one per cent of
the total debt is attribuded to this state.
It is probaly true that radical legislation has,
in the past, to some extent retarded the develop
ment o f Oregon, but even radicals grow tired of
cutting off their own noses, and the indications
are that the fever has about run its course in this
state, as all fevers do everywhere, and the reac
tion is ready to set in.
Having passed through the experience, this
state ought to be immune for some time to come,
while other states are learning the lessons Oregon
has bought and paid for.
Just when the wave o f immigration and pros
perity is re ad 3 * to strike the Pacific Coast, Oregon,
neglected, retarded, undeveloped, emerges from
her period of experimentation a virgin held, where
opporunitics multiply just in the ratio that other
fields have been more exploited and developed.
Just as the cow finds more luxurious pastur
age in the field that has not been grazed, so the
home hunter and investor will find in Oregon’s 95
thousand square miles o f land, with untold riches
in undeveloped timber and mineral, and agricultu
ral possibilities, opportunities not to be found
where the population is dense and resources few.
Maii 3 r of our people are worrying because,
right now, other states are gathering in some in
dustries they feel we ought to get; but they’ll
not all stop in California, Washington, or Idaho,
but many of them will be tumbling over each oth
er to gain a foothold on Oregon soil before the
close of the year nineteen hundred sixteen.

REPUBLICAN

against the new tax law in the
Senate, and favors paying taxes
semi-annually without penalty.
T o the Republican Voters
In calling your attention to
my candidacy for the Republican
nomination for state senator, I
invite your consideration of my
record:
I have always tried to be fair,
and during my service in the
legislature, I worked for what I
considered the people’s interests.
I probably made some mistakes
—any one who does things is li
able to err.
I secured the passage of our
present county depository law,
which requires depositories to
pay interest on county deposits.
This law produces a revenue
where none was ever produced
prior to its passage; it brings in
sufficient money to defray the
expenses of the treasurer’s o f
fice, bringing annually to the
counties of the state nearly
$100,000.
The log boom company on the
Siuslaw River is using its influ
ence against me, because I pro
pose to have such boom compa
nies declared to be public utili
ties and have them regulated by
the Railroad Commission, so that
if they m on op olize business,
their enormous charges may be
regulated so that they may only
make a reasonable profit.
I am a tax payer and own and
operate a farm on the Long Tom
River, and favor tax reductions,
by cutting out present extrav
agance.
I hav« practiced law
for six years.
I appreciate the confidence
the people have heretofore placed
in me, and if I am nominated
and elected, I will hold the o f
fice as a public trust, and per
form the duties o f the office to
the best o f my ability, without
fear or favor.
