SATURDAY, MAKCH 28.
Of Questionable Expediency.
fpiIE Umatilla fish and game protective association
t has decided to invoke tho referendum ngainst the
law enacted at the last legislature which provides for
conversion of ten per cent or tho receipts ol 4U special
state commissions of various kinds into the state's gen
eral fund.' The movement is of questionable expediency.
Sportsmen who pay license fees for hunting and
fishing privileges naturally feel that all their money
should go for game and fish protection, as the. license
law contemplates. But the legislature, in passing the
ten per cent tribute law acted under the spur of neces
sity. The governor had deliberately created a situation
whereby tho money available from general taxation was
inadequate for carrying on state activities. The legis
lature itself had not been particularly economical. There
was urgent need for more revenues to meet tho situation.
lAnd the ten per cent tribute law was enacted.
If the law is held up by referendum now, the result
will be to cripple state finances. T.hero will be the fur
ther bad effect of widening tho gap between town and
country. The farmers favor this bill because it is de
signed' to lessen the burden of land taxation. On the
other ham!, if tho law is allowed to become effective
it is very likely to be regarded as a temporary expedient
only, and. to be repealed by the time the , legislature
meets again, by which time some more equitable method
of financing state activities is likely to bo devised. This
latter alternative seems the better.
Flax Possibilities.
STATE TREASURER THOMAS B. KAY told the
Corvallis chamber of commerce in an address the
other day that Willamette valley farmers who will turn
their attention to raising flax can make nearly . three
times as much off each acre of land as from any other
crop. His statement, he said, was not based upon theory
but upon the experiences of farmers in Mariot county
who had made and were making the demonstration.
' Some of Marion county's leading men, including Mr.
Kay, have become so well convinced of tho possibilities
of profit in; flax growing and linpn making in the
"Willamette valley that they are building a linen mill in
Salem. They know, they say, on tho word of competent
investigators and through the experience of the years
that no places in the world except Ireland and Belgium
6ffer such possibilitis for successful flax culture as this
valley. Flax culture hero hns passed tho experimental
stage long ago. It is a demonstrated success when
properly carried on.
Mr. Kay declared in his Corvallis address, according
to the Gazette-Times, that tho Willamette vallev cannot
hope for a maximum of prosperity from tho raising of
toort crops alone, hecause tho home markets are not
sufficient to absorb all that the farmers can raise, and
in selling to distant markets, freight takes most of the
profits. By turning to flax-growing, he pointed out, the
farmers will have the double advantago of raising a
profitable crop and at the same time reducing the pro
duction of food crops, which if carried far will auto
matically have a tendency to increase prices for those
crops, through tho simple law of supply and demand.
Facts similar to these, or some of them, have been
laid beforo Eugene business men lately. But tho views
of Treasurer Kay carry some special weight, because
he is a practical business man and manufacturer and
beoauso ho backs his faith in tho Willamette valley flax
industry with his money and his efforts to promoto flax
growing and tho manufacture of linen.
In Lane county, as elsewhere in tho Willamette vnl-
loy, tho need of today is not for greater production of
ine crops tnat aro customarily grown by our fnrmers,
but rathor for tho turning of moro of what wo raise into
manufactured products at homo. Tho era of intensive
stimulation of land sottlemnnt has passed, or is passing.
What wo need here now is moro industries. Salem be
lieves flax growing and manufacture offer tho wav to
one or them. J. he reasoning seems eminently sound.
In commenting on the boost that congress recently
gave to tho salaries of its own members bv viva voce
vote the Medford Mail-Tribune remarks: "A man who
is not worth $10,000 a vcar has no nmwp nin tn oit

Wheat aas dropped about half a

It is to be hoped that grain will not
go still lower tban it is now, for the
sake of our great farming population,
which is just getting back ou its feel
financially after lean years. At pres
ent prices, tho raising of wheat, corn,

year, and insure sufficient planting
to avoid a scarcity after next harvest.

uy tne referendum, and the action
of the governor in vetoing the bill
calling for a special election, the

BORAH BLOC IS CONVENIENT TAG
independent Republicans Who Decline to Follow Party Leadership
Are so Characterized by Others
By I1AKUY B. HUNT
(XEA Service Writer)
yyASULN'UTON, March 28. Mon-
V tion bus been made, in recout
dispatches from here of a "Borah
bloc" in the United States senate.
Just who the members of this bloc
are, however, and by what character
istics they can be identified, have not
been umdo plum.
The fact is, of course, that th
term "Borah bloc bus been uscu
simply as a hundy tag to tie to the
group of independently-minded repub
licans who have declined to permit
themselves to be bound by their par
ty's caucus, and who claim the right
to rote their own vie.ws on public
questions Ttfgardless of what party
lenders ' proclaim to bo their duty.
. To this number might, properly, be
added those members recently ousted
from O. O. P. party councils, on
charges of irregularity.
Borah was their champion in tne
'hour of their chastisement. His in
surgencv is no less real, if more dis
creet, than wob theirs. They will
fight with him and for him, en bloc
or independently, as occasion requires.
"Whether properly labeled as "bloc
or not, and whether fairly grouped
under a Borah banner, there
longer remains any doubt but there
is in the new senate an insurgent
group that can make itself felt effec
tively.
This croun lias now been pictur
esquely nuined 'the backbone of the
senate."
Before one qunlifies for member
ship he must hive proven the stiffness
of his backbone by standing up, un
waveringly, under the lond of public
criticism, social oatroeisin and par
tisan abuse Tesumug from voting ins

mandate.

I
Just why senatorial 'insurgents
should be described at thia time as
'the Borah bloc" is not apparent.
The most likely guess is that the
name was designed in an effort to
discredit the influence and prestige
of it or ah.
, : By getting before the counjtry a
picture of him as leading a "bloc,"
as undertaking to organize a group
which he could lend in opposition to
the president or to his party's leader
ship in the senate, it may be hoped
to minimize the force nnd effect of
His 'Inter opposition to certain pro
jected party policies.
But accepting the tag of "Borah
bloc" as one that will be much used
to describe the insurgent republican
group, it should be recognized that
toe bloc formed around Borah, as the
most effective champion of its more
important principles, rather than hav
ing been formed by Borah as a club
with which to pound his opponents,
Personally, Borah continues to play,
as she always has, a "lone hand."
Others can come along if they wish,
and welcome. But he doesn't change
his play in order to make room for
them.
