CALIFORNIA'S DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION.
Let us be mindful of what ournclghb6rs aro doing that Is
worth tho while, says the TelegranY
R &k Caifomia hais apjewly created- state development com-''mlsslonr-The
purposes for .wbJcU. It was created are officially
'stated as follows: "To Investigate and consider tho question
of land colonization and the various forms of land banks, co
operative credit unions and other rural credit systems adopted
or proposed in this country and elsewhere, with a special view
' v to the needs of the rural communities of this state. It must
make a report to the governor on or before October 1, 1916."
We have had our own development league in Oregon
which in its own way has served to advertise the state. The
' chief object of that organization was to attract attention of
outside homeseekers to this state, rather than to consider the
practical economic needs of the home-makers we had with us.
Our development league served Its purpose in its own way,
but that service was not of the fundamental and lasting sort
contemplated in the work of the California commission.
The identical conditions which promoted the creation of
'this development commission in California prevail in Oregon.
"We have land unused, vast areas of it. We have a great acre
age of land once used and partially abandoned. We have
plenty of land in use that is not cultivated anywhere near to
the limit of its possibilities. Our cheaper lands are remote
from markets. Our more desirable lands are held at too high
'a value. Lands in use by men of enterprise who have little
capital are not improved to their full productive capacity, be
cause conditions on which money is to be had for that purpose
are onerous and make the work itself hazardous and un
' 'profitable.
There is need in Oregon, as there is need in California,
to consider the question of land and the use of land, and all
the relative questions by which it is sought to make the cap
ital of the community aid in bringing together the other two
factors of land and labor, under conditions most advantag
eous to the latter.
Annually, we indulge the felicity of livestock and land-products
shows, and it is not merely in a spirit of vain boasting or
solely for expositional entertairnment that we do that. The
main purpose is to show the land hungry what it is possible to
do on Oregon soil,. Through such enterprise we present, visu--ally,
the rewards to be earned by the application of intelligent 1
industry to Oregon land. Surely it would be only wisdom on
our part to seek out all practical ways and means by which the
greatest possible area of our land may thus be made fruitful.
Upon progress in that direction depends all other Oregon
Industry. The prosperous countryside must be a condition pre
cedent to the growing and progressive town and city. And
the prosperous countryside means the utilization of land in
husbandry to the reasonably assured welfare of the husband
man. There can be no such assurance on the basis of inflated
land values or under conditions of short-time loans and ex
cessive interest which discourages the enterprising man of
small or moderate capital, and in a very considerable measure
makes husbandry a gamble.
We want settlers in Oregon, and settlers are not neces
sarily men who have money to buy the land. In fact, it is not
from that class that the vigorous, red-blooded, empire build
ing farmers have developed. The essentials are brain, muscle
and industry to make these effective. The man who will stake
his ah on the raw land, subdue it, cultivate it and make it pay
for itself in support of a new home in the commonwealth is
the man we should invite to Oregon; providing for him, as
de may, every condition o f encouragement. If we are, wise
we will begin to consider his case and the case of others who,
by independent industry, would support themselves and their
families from the soil. California has gone about this business
practically, so must we.
Here lies before us a constructive task. It is one in which

Farmer Tells Local Merchants
How They Can Take Trade
From Mall Order House
Tho Importance of intelligent
and continuous advertising is
clearly sot forth in tho following
letter from a Minnesota farmer
to his local newspaper. Answer
ing occasional articles that, ap
pear In print about tho mail or
der houses, he says:
"If the mail order house gets
$1000 out of this county each
month that belongs to tho homo
merchants, the fault Is with tho
homo merchants themselves.
Tho mall order houses adver
tise and give tis prices on every
thing they offer for sale. They
tell us what they have and what
they want for it. Of course we
get soaked once in a while, and
if we do, we can try some other
house. Most of the home mer
chants who? advertise at all don't
quote prices. They neglect to
tell us what we wautiio knjpw-t
prices. Of course' wo can go
to tho store and ask the price
of this article, and that, but you
know how it is one doesn't
know so well what he wants to
buy when he gets in a store as
when he is at home. And here
is where the mailorder houses
make their hit. They sehd us
their advertising matter into our
homes and we read It when we
haven't anything else,to do and
every member of the family who
reads their stuff usually finds
something that he or some other
member of the family wants, and
many orders are made up and
sent out at just such times.
"Right here Is where the home
merchants fall down. If he talk-
ed up his business in our homes;"
the same as the mall order
houses do, the people would be
in to see him the next time they

"Tho homo merchant can savo

wo do a catalogue, and If tho

goods as cheap as, tho mall order

things he Is much cheaper, but
how are we to know If he docs
not tell us about it?
"A merchant must not think
that even his best customers

"It Is none of my business how
the homo merchant runs his
