Ancestry does not count for i
great deal in America. 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. - .. .
