"THE FAIR DEAL"
There are those who express the belief that tjie Repub*
licau party is dead. Usually their wish is the father of their
thought. There are others who say the Republican party
should go radical to conic back. The left wing democrats
threaten to out-radical any new or reorganlied party.
To our mind the Republican party’s future should be
liberal but not radical, should possess sane human under
standing and should stress a fair deal rather than plunge
into some so-called unknown new one.
The Republican party is not dead even If its leadership
is somewhat demoralised. Ijt has an organization in every
county of the United States. The Republican party cast
13,600,000 votes this year without strong leadership. What
can it do with proper leadership?
In the off-year election in November the party lost but
2,500,000 fiom the 1932 presidential vote and polled 40 per
cent of the total vote cast. In the November election the
Democrat party cast 7,000,000 less votes than it did for
Roosevelt. Another drop like that and the party will be
out of power.
Under the banner of a "fair deal” the Republican party
should be first of all American. It should not be afraid to
cast overboard old guards and radicals alike along with
their reactionary and communistic principals—the obsolete
and the un-American. Its leadership should be young,
practical and progressive men who are straight shooters.
Leaders are wanted who will not be led astray by blind
theories or wild |*anaceas but who believe that there is still
opportunity in America and that achievement and social
progress lies along the path of hard work, intelligent plan
ning and honest reward for honest effort. The Republican
party need not turn either right or left but follow a straight
course down through the center and real Americans will be
proud to belong to it.
THE VALLEY S FUTURE
Irrigation, flood control and power development in the
Willamette Valley were placed ahead of more power dev
elopment on the upper Columbia river regions by tre board
of army engineers in a report just completed. Recognition
of the more thickly settled parts of the Willamette valley
over projects labeled “no market at present.”
Four possible irrigation projects listed as economically
feasible for this area include: Coast Fork, 16,500 acres to
cost >715,900; Pleasant Hill, 5000 acres, >208,400; Spring-
field, 12,000 acres, >500,000; and Coburg 12,000 acres, >5,-
363.600.
These estimates point the way for development that
will some day mean much to the upper Willamette Valley.
Price fixing has been removed from the lumber code
and it will no doubt allow mills in this section to sell more
lumber at lower prices. Chairman W’illiams of the National
Recovery board says he does not expect that there will be
vigorous provision for price fixing in any codes when the
recovery act is reenacted by congress.
It seems that some of the cotton farmers spent their
federal production control checks for fertilizer. They also
amazed the government with what intensive cultivation
will do.— Result the same crop on 25 per cent less land.
American bank savings are increasing say headlines.
What we would like to find is somebody who will admit his
savings are increasing.

Strawberry Clover On Alkali
The strawberry clover Is being

station
It gives unusual promise
under certain restricted circum
stances. says H. K. Dean, superin
tendent of the station. Its value
is expected to be as a pasture crop
on alkali land. It has demonstrated
exceptional resistance to alkali and
over watering, even being able to
cowd out salt grass. It Is being used
already at Yakima where stock ap

The safflower Is an oil plant
which may be grown for production
of oil similar to linseed oil. It Is a
cross between a sunflower and

that so far hos proved drouth reals

1600 pounds of seed to the acre,

A "MANY-SIDED” MAN
Jesus was, as we say, "many sided,” and every man
sees the side of his nature which appeaL most to himself.
The doctor thinks of the great physician whose touch
never failed, who by some mystery preceded modern sci
ence in its still imperfect knowledge of the relation of the
spirit to health. The preacher studies the Sermon on the
Mount and marvels that truths so profound should be ex
pressed in words so clear and simple. The agitator remem
bers only that he denounced the rich; and the communist
that his disciples carried a common purse. Lawyers have
written in praise of his pleading at his trial; and the literary
critics of every age have cheerfully acknowledged his
mastery.
.
I am not a doctor, or lawyer or critic but an advertis
ing man. As a profession advertising is young; as a force
It is as old as the world. The first four words ever uttered,
"Let there be light,” constitute its charter. All Nature is
vibrant with its impulse. The brilliant plumage of the bird
is color advertising addressed to the emotions of its mate.
Plants deck themselves with blooms, not for beauty only,
but to attract the patronage of the bee and so by spreading
pollen on its wings, to insure the perpetuation of their kind.
The spacious firmament on high,
And all the blue etereal sky,
And spangled Heavens a shining frame,
Their great Original proclaim.
It has been remarked that "no astronomer can be an
athlest,” which is only another way of saying that no man
can look up at the first and greatest electric sign—the
evening stars—and refuse to believe its message; "There is
a Cause: A God." I propose in the next few articles to
speak of the advertisements of Jesus which have survived
for twenty centuries and are still the most potent Influence
In the world.
I>et us begin by asking why he was so successful in
mastering public attention and why, in contrast, his
churches are less so? The answer is twofold. In the first
place he recognized the basic principles that all good ad
vertising is news. He was never trite or commonplace; he
had no routine. If there had been newspapers in those days,
no city editor could have said, "No need to visit him to-day;
he will be doing just what he did last Sunday.” Reporters
would have followed him every single hour, for it was im
possible to predict what he would say or do; every action
and frord were news, I repeat. Jesus had no routine. He
was never trite or commonplace.
