The, Chi nese were studying philosophy from printed pages when our fathers ived in caves and hunted with1 bow and arrow. But what of it? . People and newspapers are busy handing ouquets to Portland for the goad record made at the time of the convention of high degree masons and in the rose festival. All deserved too,. Portland is coming to the front these days "rapidly, a fact that must be a source of pride to Oregonians. Large cities on the west coast will, because of trie mar kets they develop, clear up the logged off lands and. mutt ipty the s nail farms faster than any form of legislation could do. Pleasures are relative. Since it is practically impossible to sell raw wool at any price the consumer may enjoy the privilege one of these days of purchasing an $ 18 suit of clothes for $35, -snd fee! that he has a bargain, the suit havimr been marked dowri from $55. The Democrats' refer to the Rep- ublican convention as an adjourned session of the V. S. Senate and the Republicans (come back by dubbing the Democratic convention as a re union of federal office holders. There is an attractive dignity about age, always excepting the seasoned and venerable weeds that at this season of the year become conspicuous by the road side and parking spaces in the city. The fourth of July, 1920, appears to be rolling into dts place in his tory a little more swiftly and less conspicuously than us ual. The genuises of the country are at present struggling: with the puz zle of how to please the ex-soldier with a bonus without displeasing the rest of Vie country with a tax. Vetch s.ed is so scarce and so hjgh priced that most of this years' crop will be ripened- for sen!. Which is another reason why food will be high again next winter. Notwithstanding all the talk against it, we understand that the Non-partisan .league Is growing In strength and power in Oregon at present. Like Die flu or the mumps it will have to run its course. DEVELOP RESOURCES, STATE CHAMBER'S AIM Expansion Movement Now In Progress Will Allow Broader Activities. What docs Oregon need? What If It were possible to name the chief factor does It most need ta order to develop with a maximum of success? The question Is Impossible la answer There Is bo "chief factor." The solu tion lies not la one particular Deed, but many. Oregon today, facing an era of de velopment unparalleled In Its history, must fill these needs It It expects to go ahead. Of the many factors that unisi oe employed It the state la to progress Immigration and colonisation stand preeminent In order to solve the vital problem of land settlement. Irrigation, reclamation ot land ana drainage must be developed as another method of bringing about the solution of this problem. Farm labor muit be brought In. Homeseekers who In turn becom food producers, mutt be en couraged and made to tee the possi bilities that await them In the great northwest. Good roads mutt be built. As the vatt tracta of wilderness with their billions of feet ot Umber are concerted Into lumber, hlghwaya must be pro vided over which commerce can be carried and the scenic beauties ot the Bute viewed by the tourist. Among other needa are Industrial ex pansion, railroad extension and water power development. Advertising and publicity must .oe carrlcj on It Oregon Is to be made known as a country for, the homeseek er where Opportunity beckons. Its scenic beauties must be advertised to attract the stream of golden dollars from tourists and ' pleasure seekers. Other states, most ot them with fewer advantages to attract, are realizing mil lions each year from tourists because they realise the value of advertising and making public, what advantages they possess. Oregon must develop Its water transportation, Us mineral lakes, Its ports and reach out for foreign trade and It must develop the state to pro duce the exports which are to go down to the sea In ships. It must expand Its educational facilities as sn addi tional advantage to hold out to the bomeseeker with children to eel urate, The Oregon State Chamber of Com merce Is the most logical agency to carry on this development work simply because a state organization of this nature can work for the mutuul good of all communities In the state with out favoring any particular one, Wnen the supreme court will use le speed they have in reaching a hearing " for the Riddel.l highway case, it is quite erident there is con siderable interest in the outcome of the same abroad in the state. For lack of something more moist to work i with' it promises to rain Chautauquas the second ween in July. It is a good thing for the country that conditions with us are never as bad its the political orator paints them. i STATE CHAMBER TO EXPANDjAGTIVITlES State-wide Appeal For Budget Made to Provide For De- velopment Program, The prospects I are that the tent for the MonmouthjChauteuqua will prove too small for the crowd that will attend. Buy your t tickets early, ' ; We hear a great deal about what posterity will say and think but posterity has an uncomfortable habit of talking and thinking for itself. . , What Is the plan of, the expansion movement of the Oregon State Cham ber of Commerce? How Is It to be carried out? What Is It for? These are the three questions upper most in the minds of the majority of those whs have been Informed of the movement which the State Chamber launched April 19th with a survey ot the state to set up preliminary organ ization and establish a direct connec tion with practically every community In the thirty-six counties of Oregon. The expansion movement by way of explanation might be divided Into three distinct classes. These are: First A survey of the state. Second An educational campaign to be carried on through local newspapers and by mailing literature pertaining to the movement direct to Industries, firms and individuals interested In the development of the state. . Third The Intensive organization work at which time a state-wide can vass will be made, county by county, to raise a budget to enable the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce to carry on Its program of development work for the state on a broader, more com prehensive scale. This' canvass will be made throughout the state during June and July. ' - This budget Is to be obtained by popular subscription. The appeal will be state-wide and to everyone Interest ed In the development of Oregon and his particular community. It Is be lieved the response will be met by the manufacturer, the merchant, the farm er and the Individual, for each Is vital ly interested In seeing Oregon forge ahead and develop Its advantages and resources. - .. .
