Farm Problems and the Remedy
C. GLOVER, overseer of tho Oregon Btato grange,
addressed tho Eugene chamber ot commerce at
its weekly members' luncheon yesterday, and among
the facts he set out were these:
A farmer living near Buoll, Ore., raised and picked
and boxed and shipped 2000 boxes of apples. His
return, after costs and handling and commission charges
had been deducted, was nino cents. Not nine cents a
box; ni;ie cents for the 2000 boxes.
A Marion county farmer received $6.45 for 100
boxes of apples, after all charges had been deducted.
A Newberg farmer received two cents a box for
800 boxes of apples which he raised, harvested and
marketed.
A Yamhill berry grower received one and a half
cents a pound for a crop of loganberries which it had
cost him two cents a pound to harvest.
' The items thus set out are concrete examples, aud
authentic ones, of a condition recently prevalent among
farmers which is not unfamiliar to persons who keep
abreast of the times. Of course the conditions that
these examples denote are intolerable. Farmers cannot
long exist under them. There must be change, but how!
Jlr. Glover, representative of tho farmers, offered no
suggestion for a remedy. "What does ho think ought
to bo done? What do tho majority of the farmers
think ought to be done? . -
Tins newspaper believes tlie remedy is economic
rather than political. It believes that organization by
the farmers themselves of their whole business of pro
duction and marketing co-operatively otters a more
practical remedy and will go farther toward solving
their problem permanently than anything else. Machin
ery to assist in this process is soon to be provided by
the federal government through legislation now pend
ing in congress and which the president purposes to
boo through. But the president has mado it clear in
his utterances and it is clear to all who havo studied
the problem deeply that tho initiative must bo taken
and tho brunt oi the work borno by the larmers them
selves.
nicely for a bslf century or more with
common dirt roads' And besides tbi
project, If rntcrod into, would bank
rupt the tote. '
And yet, seventeen year later, so
Oregon legislature enacted a law
which mapped out the state's major
highway tyatem and provided for an
enormous bond lasue for financing Its
construction.
Today, just twenty-fire years after
Mr. Hooth gave flrat eipreaalon to
his vision, that major syatem of high
ways has been completed; only u
place of macadam, the construction is
of aaphalt or concrete. And the state
has adopted for its program an addi
tional ayatem of highways, chief
among which is the Kooeevelt highway
west of the coast range of moun
tain.
When Mr. Booth Introduced tho
concurrent revolution, which is the
Buhjcct of thin article ond which first
centralized thought on a permanent
road syntem for Oregon, the automo
bile wna in bd early stage of experi
mentation. Only a few persons had a
"gas buggy" in those days; and there
were but few people who were rash
eoough to predict that they would
ever become popular. This Is of itao.'f
corroborative of Mr. Ili.'oth's prophe:-
lc powers. For Mr. Hooth doubtless
saw that the automobile might very
likely and probably would soon be
come a universal means of transporta
tion. Ho believed that the automobile
would need good roads, If it were to
attain sizeable deminsiona as 'in
agency of travel, and be believed iu
preparing Oregon for it.
That won only a quarter of a cen
tury ago; but the persons who scoffed
at Mr. Booth then are now driving
automobiles of their own and they are
enjoying immensely tho very roads
which they were hrandipg "a wonder
ful dream." But the era In wtich we
are living now proves that Mr. Booth
was right and that they were wrong.
Greed and the Golden Rule
j ""KEED in one or another of its differing manifesto
j vi tions and under ono or another ot its vnrymg
mimes is tho cause of most of the human strilo and
j consequent human misery that there are in tho world.
I Tho rest is caused by fear. If these could bo effaced
v from human consciousness wo should havo a condition
f approximating perfection. ':,
) , In onch of us and all there is, eouchant or rampant,
jj greed in greater degrco or lesser. In whatever measure
we keep it, through our strivings, throttled and cowed
j and in whatever degree wo succoed in casting it out,
) m that measure do wo bring ourselves into conformity
: with that very great precept of ho greatest teacher,
; the Golden Rule, for tho Golden Kulo is the antithesis
i of tho whole code ot jrrccd and all its mnnilestations
In the world of business greed is manifested largely
i in over-acquisitiveness, prompted by tear. U hero is
; fear that not enough profit will bo made to provide
i next year's needs. There is fear that a competitor
will get. a greater share of business than is rightfully
I his. There is fear that an insufficient reservo is pro
vided acaiiiRt nossiblo unnroHperous conditions of tho
i future. And so there is sometimes manifestation of
J effort, tn nenuirfi now as much as possiblo and as
ranidlv. no matter at what cost of business ethics.
oiii. nf sueh tendencies and this situation there
. lias eomo ur within the pnst few years a powerful off-
; sotting movement, whose purpose is to work by tho
i Golden Kulo in business ana proiessionai practice,
,J International Rotary is its name. Its members are
i business ajid professional men who aro themsolvos
: nledeed to net bv tho principles and under tho code
j of ethics which they spread. Tho foundation stono
! of this codo is that tho ideal of service is the basis
of all worthy enterprise and that "Ilo profits most
who serves best," with tho further declaration that a
' profit is legitimate only if and when all parties to
' tho transaction nro benefitted thereby. Its membership
' js limited, but Rotary's seopo is, nevertheless, all in
elusive, becauso members nro obligated to practice and
' promote tho Kiuno eithies universally as among thom
'i selves.
i Tho Rotarv movement began in 190.r. Now it has
more than 100,000 members m moro than 1800 clubs
; iu 28 countries. Thus its teachings aro being spread
throughout the world. Thero is no business movement
, of higher character. No ethical movement is making
faster progress. Nono is more hopeful.
If wo couldn't have Bob Kuykendall, who is Eu
, gene's own, or Louis Bean, who also is Eugene's own,
i why George Ncuner, of our neighbor county of Douglas,
is a choico that Lano county will cordially approve for
: United States attorney for Oregon. Ho is well equipped
: and well qualified.
Our respect for tho eternal verities compels tho
I admission that thero is no better reason for prohibiting
cigarette advertising on billboards than in newspapers
and magazines. Tho senate at Salem did well in killing
i a bill which would have made the discrimination.
'Long About This Time of the Year He Gets Mighty Unpopular
General Mitchell's Courage.
(I'endleton East Oregonlan)
Brigadier General Mitchell, who
has raised a furious fuss at Washing
ton and has botb the army and navy
chiefs hot efter him, is a very fearless
sort of airman. It is said that five
per ccut of men are incurable cowards
and that nothing cau be done with
them. Ninety per ceut are classed us
alright it they have proper discipline.
and leadership. The other five per
cent do not know the nieaniug of fcur
and they are not influenced by it.
General Mitchell u evidently ot this
class. In fighting for a greater air
force ho bus risked his own official
neck. He has virtually defied bis su
perior officers and that is not an eiiy
thing for a military man to do. An of
ficer who doea that usuully comes
out the worse for bis experience.
The vcary audacity shown by Mtt-
chcli enhances him in tho public es
teem. An officer who will risk his
commission in a fight he believes nec
essary for the nation's interest is en
titled to credit for his courego. Wo
need pcuco time heroism of that sorr.,
Furthermore, there is good ground
for the belief that General Mitchell is
right. Our air service is weak and it
should be improved. It won t be
brought up to date as long as It is
held back by those who consider it
a mere scouting agency for the
army and navy.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 l'resi-
ident Coolidge is discovering the truth
of that well-known and justly famous
quote, "Hell bath no fury like a
woman scorned."
He started the discovery process
almost immediately after letting it
be known that nc new avenues of gov
ernment activity would bo opened to
women during his administration.
This policy was defined when he re
fused appointment of Mrs. Mabel
Walker Willcbrnndt,, nssistunt attor
ney general, as federal judgo in Cali
fornia. His position was that he would ap
point women where precedent exists,
but would moke no appointments
where women do not already hold
posts.
This was not exoctly calculated to
endear him tu the hearts of the wo
men in politics.
It didn't particularly as he took
his stand right in the midst of tho
fight over the proposed cuual rights
nuicudmeut, whilo advocates of the
ineiiBure were declaring one ot their
main complaints to be the inequality
of opportunity between men and wo
men for holding office!

Miss .Mabel Vernon, Woman's Party
executive secretary: "The president
is simply missing an opportunity to

' . state aenate at Salem a concurrent
1 -i resolution providing for the appoint
: ment of a commission to look' into the
.: feasibility of construrting a macadam
v road from Tortland to the California
'! boundary.
' An item to this effect was publish
ed the other day in the "Twenty-Five
Years Ago" column of the Portland
Journal. It is an Interesting bit of
history.
It gives us a glimpse of R. A.
Booth's prophetic rlalon. His con
current resolution, as we learn tin
history of highway development in
Oregon, didn't get very tar. It was a
"beautiful dream" and all that, yu
