This newspaper finds Itself ' In full and hearty accord with the county Judges of Oregon in their destre to secure from congress re lrhbursement for the taxes .lost when the Oregon " and California " grant lands were taken over by the gdvernment. " But Its enthusiasm for this bit of fundamental justice ' is not matched by an equal amount of optimism. ' ' The state of Oregon, for 40-odd years, went ahead and collected taxes on these lands, which .-were granted as a bonus to secure the building of a railroad which was badly needed and which was worth io the people of thla state all it cost. The revenue thus secured U,Ain4a,, annnnllw A a lfliCA CI, Til and it came in extremely handy. In Lane county alone it ran around $80,000 a year, and no one will deny that we could use $80,000 very nicely right now. That sum alone would retire the $2,000,000 of out standing, road bonds. We have been without this revenue for some 10 ' years, and there Is no dlsputlnn that we have missed the $800,000 thus lost. The loss has contributed materially to increase of taxes on the remaining property. - But the state of Oregon was not content with the disposition of these' lands which had first assured , the building of a pioneer railroad and had later contributed largely to the tax revenues, and so It pe tittoned the government to under take a suit to secure cancellation ot the grant, The eult was sue. cessful, and immediately thereafter the lands reverted to the govern ment and the tax revenue stopped There were some rosy promises as to the future, but so far these promises have paid no bills. The government, we have an idea, will turn a deaf ear to pleas from Oregon that it do something about the Oregon and California grant lands. '. It will retort, not without some justice, tfcat it did in - the first place as Oregon requested anl that it Is thorotoro Bomewhat at a loss to know what we are kicking about. This newspaper asserted at the time that cancellation of the Ore gon and California land grant was a calamity to the state, and It has seen no cause at any, time since lj Change that opinion. V IT 13 FOOD FOR THOUGHT It Mr. Dorrls, whose Interesting letter Is printed in another col umn, has gained the impression that the Tlcgistcr Is either attack ing Portland for buying too little Oregon fruits and vegetables or Is contending that we should buy none of these products from the outside, we are sorry, for that would bo proof that we had failed to make our meaning clear. ' Tha nD-lMfni.. In illciiidBlntf nan Unloads of fruit. and veiretahlna Id the Portland market, pointed out specifically that the,e.roPresentelin"-MIgs,IO(l! c, '-'-of the total consumption. Port land, like all other cities, draws a large share of Its supplies of nuch foods from the nearby country, and these supplies come In In em than car lots. For tho most part, they come in trucka and wagons and automobiles. Hence they do not get Into the department of agri cultures figures which show ca." unloads only. " ' .' ; ' ' Nor is it to be contended that Oregon should buy its fruits and vegetables wholly within Its own borders, . Exchange ot commodities constitutes trade nnd California is an excellent customer of ours. tfhero Is every reason why wo should buy some of her products in return. ' Besides, Oregon does not produce fruits and vegetables at all times of the year, but people demand them at seasons when they are out of tho local markets. Manifestly, tha thing to do under theso condi tions Is to buy thorn where they are available. People want what they want when they want it, and they get it wherever it Is offered to the best advantage. But we submit that the fact tha. Oregon's principal market buys more carloads of fruits and vege tables from Washington than it buys from Oregon is proof that something is wrong somewhere. Doubtless it Is proof tint Oregon producers are not paying the at tention to their own home markets that they should. Finding that out is in itself worth -while, for It may lead to Improvement In 1025, for example, the Fort land market purchased from out side the state 1S3 carloads ot cab bage, 62 carloads of cauliflower, '122 carloads of celery, 101 carloads of onions, 730 carloads of potatoes, 39 carloads ot rutabagas, 11' car loads of squash and 13 carloads of turnips. It bought heavily ot cab bage in January and February, months when there Is normally much cabbage In Oregon; it bought cauliflower In every month of tho year save two; it bought onions la every month of the year save Jan uary, February and March; it bought heavily of potatoes in every month of the year, rutabagas in every month save June and July, squash in September, November and December months when squash Is at Its best here and tur nips in ' January, February and March, when turnips are easily grown in Oregon. And so on. -These figures indicate that Ore' gon's home markets 5aro -buying outside the state many - products that could easily be grown and sold here buying them, possibly, - be cause qf better quality or better service or better salesmanship somewhere else, for certainly there can be no personal animus In' the matter. The home markets are the most profitable markets. These figures undoubtedly provide the occasion for some serious study. X fashion note from New York says that skirts will continue to l e short.

Ore.. Jan. 20. (To the Editor.) The writer has read with Interest your editorial In Sat urday's Issue, comparing the car loads of fruits and vegetables go ing into Portland . from Oregon, and from outside states, and ap proves the moral you tacitly intend to draw, to-wlt: that this state is not coming up to Its possibilities. On many items this is only too true. If the over 5000 narloads coming Into Portland from outside states represented commodities that we could produce in season the situa tion would bb truly lamentable and would entitle us to be dubbed mossbacks. But a closer analysis of the situation will not, we think. Justify the conclusion, thatwe are falling so absolutely short of what we aro able to do. All of such commodities coming into Portland from all outside states except "Washington, and most from that state, are repre sented In car lots, whereas to the 756 car lots from Oregon is to be added many shipments of both Irults and vegetables going by open express and by truck throughout the greater Dart of the year. Theso shipments aggregate many nunorea cars each . year, And again, car shipments from "Washington do not oncroach on what we may consider our exclu sive market, for a great part of "Washington is as much a feeder of Portland as is any part of Oregon. Tho only difference Is they aro Washington and wo are Oregon and there Is a little river between us, hut we are all the great North-v.e-t. of which there Is only one. The editorial stutcs tnat Port land shipped from California 16 cam of asparagus and not one from Oregon. California's 40.000- acrc asparagus beds nro used prills clpallv to supplv the canned pro duct for the United States. In tho .early part of the season she ships tne iresn prnnuci to an hare mar kets Including ours. As soon as the local nflparagui cornea' in In sufficient quantity sue! '-Mpments cease. Excluding tho Inn; tar or two, If California 'coined to ship there would he no n ,jarnus the market and Oregon could by no possibility supply the shorta?o. Tho editorial further states that Portland also bought 37 cars of tomatoes from . California, two from MfsniHsippI, 32 from Texas, 10 from Washington nnd only one from Oregon. During the greater part of tho time these 81 cars were being shipped to Portland it n doubtful if Oregon could have shipped two cam of field-grown tomatoes nt any prhro. Tne editorial runner states li. x'orunnu nought auz cava Ol lettuce from California, seven from Washington and ono from Idaho, and only ono from Oregon. If that lettucn hnd not been brought In during nenrlv nil ot that time tho peoplo of PnriloiK? and Oregon would have been with out hend lettuce. Kcmemhcr, too, Portland docs not consume nil thin stuff but as a- distributing centor sends It all over tho state, ev?n to Eugene und to parts of Waaliins ton. Of the 3035 cars shipped from California to Portland in It appears that C51 cars were oranges, lemons and grape fruit. y: ' " ,::;942 Willamette-Eugene, Oregon ' : Winter White Week Affording Nation-Wide Savings In Many Standard Supplies! Many" cars "ttf tmnanns and - the early and late grapes wlti'-'h wo cannot produce were also shipped in, as were numerous other card of niuskmcluns, , watermelons, apri cots, peaches, cherried,- strawber ries, artichokes und other, early vegetables and fruits which our people demand and which we do not and cannot produce to any np preclable extent at the time of shipments. Competent authorities admit that no stato in the union, is hotter adapted to production of many of tho higher grade vege tables thatr Oregon but our season Is suah that we cannot hopo to en ter, the early fresh market. Your editorial refers to Califor nia,. Mississippi und Texas. Their climate is the secret of their being able- to supply the rest of tho country with vegetables during nil the season when most of our vege tation is .dormant, or . practically SO. ,. . . - We are doubtless able to boltof our position on a few commodities to some extent, but nature is against Us for oxtennlvn pni-Tv mor- koting. Semi-tropical fruits nnd vegetables Will continue to pour into our state as long as wo-nro aoie to pay tne price, and the more that comes, tha greater tho evi dence of our prosperity. By rea son of their peculiar climate tho greater part of tho United States is the natural and exclusive mar ket of California and tho other similarly situated states, during certain seasons of tho year. Do ploro it as wo may such markets cannot be taken awny from them, for we cannot exchango our clim ate' for theirs, end we would not If we could. Trade Is reciprocal and It must not bo forgotten that when her own season onds California is the host market wo have for much ot our later fruits and vegetables. The flow of tonnngo is not all one way. , . If nny of your correspondents who know can suggest which of the Importod commodities Can be displaced at tho time ot entry by home-grown products nnd to whnt extent, your Interesting 'edi torials may pavo tho way for the realization of tho hopo that In spired them.'
