"HOIST ON OtIR OWN PETARD
. 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.

with tho Idoa thnt too many folks

E3
uno iiiing you
should never
forget Is that
medical science
has made great
strides during
ivr ele . vJ
the past twenty
years. A lot ot
meu and women
are putting up
with bud eye
sight who really
don't need to do
it.
Just what I
mean Is that
m any person
with defective
KtmnicoetuiB
sight can get re-
lief bv annlvlntr for tt.
In this We there is too mucn or
this:
'My eyes are just like Mr. So
and So's, and he . did everything
without any relief. There's no use
in my trying to be helped."
If you will forgive me for re
sorting to slang, I want to say such
a conclusion is -pure "duiik."
No one case Is exactly like an
other, any more than one person is
exactly like another. But, anyhow,
how do you know your case is like
Mr. So and So's?
Blindness or partial blindness U
too terrible a condition to be meek
ly accepted. I wouldn't settle down
to be blind till consultants decided
that fate. Even then I wouldn't
wait longer than a few years be
fore I knocked again at the door
of science, to Inquire what progress,
if any, hud been made In the relief
of a case like mine.
Never give up. Is a good rule.
That Is why there are so few doc
tors ready to agree that taking hu
man llf ig ever 'justifiable. For
what now appears to be a hopeless
case, there may be found a means
of relief-next year. :
. Not so long ago a friend of mine
had made 'all his plans for death. ;
He settled his affairs, instructed
his family, and had his lawyer fully
prepared for what would soon bo
come his duty. Along came the
knowledge of insulin, and the dead- j
ly diabetes was placed under con
trol. My friend has made a fortune
in his business since-the, date he,
expected to die. " I
- What about you? Are they really I
as bad as you think? Perhaps new !
glasses would help a lot. Possibly
trifling operation would restore i
sight. Isn't it worth while to find I
out for sure?
One of the greatest privileges of ;
my profession is to restore sight :
to a blind person. I shall never set
over the thrill of seeing a cataract;
removed and hearing the exclnma-,
tion of the patient, "I see light!" !
Perhaps your-case Is hopeless. It
may be I am exciting hope when
there is no hope. But nt least, ;
find out if it really is hopeless, and
pray tnat science may go forward
in its march till it catches up to
you.

Oregon Arc Told
EUGENE. 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.' OEO. A. DOHItlH
