PEOPLE are learning about Oregon this month who never heard much concerning it before. Mention lias appeared in these columns of the Oregon month cam paign being carried on by the railroads of the llill group, and of another but simultaneous campaign being carried on by the Associated Industries of Oregon in the adver tising abroad or Oregon products. Further details now at hand concerning tho cumpaign of the, railroads show it to bo-more extensive and lar-reaclimg than any sim ilar effort yet made in Oregon's behalf- The Great Northern, Northern Pacific and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy aro the roads engaged in tho enter prise, and on behalf of the state of Oregon tho Portland chamber of commerce is co-operating through its $300, 000 development fund. In every railroad station of the three companies there arc hung for the duration of tho month posters advertising Oregon as a land of opportunity. This means that the posters aro hung in 3000 stations of the vest and middle west. In every dining car on tho threo systems during' llio month Oregon products aro being served and tho inenus cuipliasine the districts lrom which they come. A very beautiful menu cover designed by the Portland chamber ot commerce publicity department is being used on tho diners of the Northern Pacific trains. Its front cover page shows an Oregon scene featuring Mount Hood and its back page is an Oregon information guide. About half a million leaflets summarizing Oregon's attractions and opportunities aro being distributed in tho correspondence of tho threo railroads during the month, and their March timetablo folders carry three double-page spread advertisements about Oregon. Oregon motion pictures are being shown before civic clubs and other organizations in enstcrji and middle western slates and radio talks on Oregon are being given from prominent broadcasting stations through ar rangements made by tho Northern Pacific company. Tho three railroads participated at tho outset of the campaign in tho placing of largo advertisements in 34 farm 'journals setting forth Oregon's advantages to farmers. Already they-have received 5000 letters from fanners asking for further information about tho state. Oregon will gain many now settlers this year through this campaign. Just how many it is hard to estimate. Koine inkling of tho extent of results of such a cam paign may bo gained from the statement that more than 42,000 inquiries concerning farming operations in the Paeifio Northwest .havo been received by these threo railroads during the past two years as results of a moro general advertising campaign. The present oc casion is the first in which they havo concentrated on advertising Oregon. The Illuminating Statesman. ; THE other day tho Niilein .Statesman published, with apparent great satisfaction to its editor, an editorial based upon tho discovery by himself of something that everybody else iii Oregon knew already that the state constitution contains a provision against negro suffrage Now ho has niado another discovery equally important and just about as newas that one. This is that party platform conventions might bo held as a complement to the primary. This subject, too, has been threshed out and rethreshed and tried and abandoned and tried again through tho past many years,' but tho Salem editor doesn't know it. AYhnt ho does know to his own satis 'l'action at least, is exactly what ought to bo done about every question under tho sun, and ho issues his instruc tions to the world on them all with an air of finality that brooks no doubt. Here is ono of his recent gems of thought, all coniplclo as ho printed it,. under tho com pelling heading, "It is Hight": Ot course no ono wants snlpplnr-ss or tinduo forwardness nr to subject honest tourists to humiliation by tho proposition that officers have n rluht to Inspect suspected cars without a warrant. Of courso this does not menu that every car Is to bo molested. It simply means that when a car Is under suspicion officers have n rlKht to verify their suspicions. It la n matter of discretion on the part of the officers and wo have an Idea that officers are becoming; more discreet. Their class la Improving; and we aro fretting men of character more and more so that there will not bo so much hardship. Now what, my dear Watson, do you deduce from that? And would you suggest tho offering of a neat prize of some sort for tho first correct answer to the question, What is tho Statesman talking about? Professor A. H. Sweet acr, of tho state commission on highway beaut ificat ion, made a plea in an address before the Kiwanis club yesterday for (lie saving of roadside flowers and shrubs from 'vandalism and from thoughtless bouquet-pickers who break down tho shrubs and tear tho flowers up by tho roots. Tho plea is ono that will find response in every lover of tho out-doors. There is need for more ample law than wo havo to protect growing things, but there is even greater need for an active campaign of education among people generally regarding it. Most of the flower vandals act thoughtlessly. Than Oregon wild' fldwors none in the world are more beautiful. It will be worth while to tako measures to cheek their spoliation. Unless this is done a time will coino when wu shall have no wild flowers except in tho far recesses. he called upon later to defend in court" We think the Eugene paper's point is well taken. Of course in le cent years, the custom has grown in all states of asking the attorney gen eral to express his opinion about the laws and that official has been giving them right and left with the idea to giving the people real service. Iiut no attorney general's opinion is final; Its only force is to Msert his own belief, which Is no more potent than that of any attorney except that it may gain some prestige by reason of the offi cial position of its author. This ser vice is perfectly proper so long as it confines Itself to the interpretation or laws which are LUmittedly consti tutional; but we think it highly im proper for the attorney general upon whom devolves the duty of defending supreme .court in case it be attacked to prejudice the caso sgninst by ex pressing his own view. It is for the supreme court, not the attorney gen eral to decide upon the constitution ality of laws. Notice to the State (The Oregonian) Whether or not the federal child labor amendment shall eveutually be defeated and the prospect for suc cess is not bright it will have serv- 1 d a purpose as warning to the states whose omissions precipitated the is sue. They now have opportunity to remove the last cause of grievance on thft part of the proponents of t.Ttt- . measure by enscting laws that shall meet reasonable enlightened rceogni- t lion of the genius of the movement may conceivably relegate the amend ment to the limbo nf forgotten tilings. The argument in behalf of the amendment centered on two obvious fiieM. Ono is that the country as a whole Is concerned with the education and the well-being physical and men tal, of every prospective citizen, re gardless of slate lines. The other is thnt the regions which were willing to put proper restrictions on the emv plnyment of children were unfairly handicapped in competition with those which permitted unduo exploi tation of their young. The latter phrase had two correlated aspects. The d'eadvantage of unfair competi tion was real, and operated to retard the prosperity of advanced communi ties which ought not to he penalized for their humaneness, liut it also re tarded the movement in states which might otherwise have considered it fa- vorubly. It is as wrong to assume that the opponents nf the amendment were ac tuated o)c!y by base motives as to take it for granted that its advocates were mostly visionaries and cranks. The defeat of the amendment for the present indicates among other things as bus been pointed out, that there is a prevailing indisposition to trust mi norities In congress Willi the business of meddling with stato affairs. Hut it also may mean (lint many were willing to give the backward states another chance. wThat there are backward states admits of no denial. A good deal may depend on what they do in the next few years. The Busy Man's Newspaper ThA rPfftatrfltii-tr. nnnr numh... .1 t 2750.

TEAMWORK SHOWN TO BE LACKING Farm Relief Commission Shows Duplication of Departments and Bureaus at Washington By CHAKLKS P. BTEWART (NKA Service Writer) f A SUING TON, March 10. If President Coolidge'i commission on agricultural ( relief accomplishes nothing else, congressmen are saying it has done the country a signal ser vice in pointing out that there are too many department, bureaus and diver sions in Washington. They not only don't work together, they say, but frequently work against one another .duplicate effort and per sonnet and accomplish less than they would if they were cut down anywhero from 1KI to 50 per cent. The farm commission's report con fines itself to conditions of this'. sort only as they nf feet agricultural HvcUi rare; it is o obvious, however, that the criticisms apply equally to practically every other interest with which the government concerns itself that sena tors nnd representatives aro "trying the 111 on" dozens of other situations nnd finding them n "good fit" wher ever tho experiment ia mode. : "Inter - departmental jealousies," "dng-ln-the-iniitiger policies," 'unnec essary, unwise duplication," ''done deliberately," "n thoroughly repre hensible attitude" and "harmfuf in agriculture" are ninung the expres sions freely used. Reserve Board Blamed. The federal reserve board is blam ed for "lack of a unified credit sys tem. " Tho tariff commission is arraigned for "failuro to function actively along the lines of its power and responsi bilities." . The interstate commerce commM sion Is declared to have degenerated Into 'a court where it is almost im possible for the ordinary shipper to get a henrlng." Stimulated by this plain speaking, lawmakers who have interested them- J selves in aviation development are' speaking of this as a field, among many others, in which the country is being held back by just such jealousies as the farm investigators mention in their report. On one side, the army nir service contends that battleships havo -been rendered obsolete by the plane, charg ing that the nnvy has intentionally mishandled target experiments to con ceal this fact. Aviation Views Conflict. On the other side, the naval aero nautics bureau maintains that sea aviation is helpless without surface craft, accusing army airmen of mis representing such performance as the round-the-world flight to bolster up their case. From the government aeronautical hoard and the natiouol advisory com mittee ou aviution come similarly ;ou fiictiny versions. At the same time, officials of tho commerce department complain that commercial aviation is lagging be cause of squabbling among experts. While tho naval hydrographic office work to prove the influence of suu and ocean temperatures on climatic conditions, the weather bureau of tho Hgriculturo department pooh-pooh such researches -as a wnste of time. At the same time the emergency fleet corporation is striving to turn the mercantile marine over to private ownership, the United States shipping board iB doing its nlmost to keep it intact and under government owner ship. The-so are just a few among the nu merous conflicts in policy between government agencies. Due to so much pulling in opposite dircoUons, congressional critics say, the nation's business gets nowhere at all. In New York By JAMES W. DEAN MEW YORK, March P.

TUESDAY The Reward of Faith February ljrnt. -nnco'um, ' n The i (By Joseph L. Brogan) Down in tho Uinpqua country there's a lull known as Juckass ridge; It lies to the west of the Kveuintc Stur mill, when you've crossed liie tramway bridge; And although that it's said there's not much in u name, we try iu this neck of the woods When it comes to the naming c, mountain or creek, to always de liver the goods. Jim Goer had a mine culled the "Very J-nsl t nance, on t lie ridge, close by the blago route. But it seemed that Mi is het was the poorest he'd made, for the ore body soon stringeredo out : So Jim he figures on pulling away to the ivlamaih to try it again, But ho couldn't start ont, as his burro hud died, and he couldn't procuic , ono just then. When along came a Ind with a counl of jacks, and one he was willing to sell; It was named lvnamite, but just for what cause, the lad wasn't willing to tell. So Jim bnugli( the jack, and was starting to pack, whea he found out just what's in a name, As his laet dozen sticks of powder ht missed, aud with only the burro to 1 blame. j So Jim he considered the case rrriled fr thought, or well it might end 111 disaster; I When he moved on the jack to re cover the pack, the high-power bur-, ro moved faster 'Till Jim chased the jack to his old , prospect hole, and sealed the open-j ing np tight. Then he went back to his cabin a very ; vexed man to plan out a course that aeemed right. ( When along came a feller and knock-1 ed on the door, 'twas an English man from, the "Gold Share," And Jim opened the door and wel comed him in when he said he wus hunting f-.T bear. So Jim hired out as the Englishman's guide, and advised that they huut by moonlight, Aud he said in a tone that was plumb without guile: "There's one visits my shaft every night." When the moon topped the ridge and sailed over the trees, Jim guided the bear-hunter's way; And straightway he made for the mouth of his shaft, wbile he pray ed that the jck wouldn't bray; Then he pointed to two greenish eyts in the dark, and a rifle cracked out in the air And then when Jim Geer nnd his. party woko up, they forgot they'd ' been hunting for bear, j In the morning Jim looked at the bole 1 iu the ridge that was caused by hU ! jack, liynamite; 1 And, by golly, the short had uncovered a ledge, so blamed rich it dazzled: bis sight, ; And that is just how Jackass ridge get its name, there's a monument to be seen there, For the jackass who died with a pow- j ner tiueu bine, when the Cockney' whs hunting for bear. Read Lk. 7:1-10. Text: t:M. X have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. MEDITATION Jesus marveled at this man's faith; it was so sure, so complete, so availing. "First of all the centurion was confident that Jesus could cure, because of what he had heard concerning the Lord. This is the very essence of faith, namely I belief founded on evidence, faith is not credulity or fancy or caprice; it is a purely rational exercise of the mind; it is reasoning from the report of credible witnesses. Unbelief in the face of evidence is stupidity or sin. Most explicitly of nil he expressed trust in ChrUt and the dependence upon liis power which characterizes true faith. Through the ages countless men nnd women have tested the Lord and have found his promises sure, they have cried unto him and he has heard them. Let us lift up our heart's unto him who is able and willing to give us what our souls need and confirm our faith in Him. PRAYER O God, help thon our faith. May it grow as n tree planted by the rivers of water. May men find in our lives evidences of living healing faith, so learning to rejoice in Christ our Savior. Amen.
