PROTECT THE VALLEY LANDS
The spending of 1300,000, as requested by the board of
unity engineers, for em ergency work in bank protection
along the W illamette river is of utm ost im portance to every­
body and should have unanim ous support. Thousands of
acres of the most valuable lands in the valley are being cut
away every w iuter by the flotxl waters. Thus the agricul­
tu ral industry in l^ane county is threatened and since these
are practically the only lands th at have yielded adequate re­
turns during depression tim es continued erosion m eans we
will have only m arginal lands left.
The solution of the river dam age problem is loo large
for the landow ners or local governm ent. We m ust have
federal aid for this work. Since half the area of l«une county
is in the forest reserve where the W illamette river and its
tributaries head the governm ent has a direct responsibility
in the run off of the w aters. Especially is this so when the
governm ent is allowing the lands to he logged off and the
flow’ of w ater to be speeded up.
Money for this work for the first time is available, some
175 million dollars haviug been set aside in the new relief
hill. It now becomes a m atter w hether some of this money
will he spent in the W illamette valley or all will be expended
in other parts of the United States. Eor this reason every­
one should write the congressm en and senators to do their
utm ost to secure the allocation of the $300,OOt) asked for.
If you don't own land along the river you will be hene-
fitted anyway by the expending of $300.000 largely in labor
in the valley tliis summer. Besides that you are helping
protect for all ttim e our greatest natural resource— the
land.
Like the drouth stricken people of the middle west you
don't miss the land until it is gone.
PHILIPPINES A PROBLEM
T hat the Philippine Islands will be embroiled in a rev­
olution soon a fter they secure their independence from the
United S tates seems evident from the revolts taking place
lately. There are more than 13 million people in the islands
and iess than 2 per cent read newspapers. After the United
S tates leaves the Islands Japan will no doubt jump in on the
first pretext of protecting its nationals. While we have
valuable trade with the islands we may be well rid of them
as they are our potential war danger in the far east.
GOOD RI LES TO LIVE BY ’
Several of the rules of Marcus Aurelius that are well
worth rem em bering:
Love work.
Turn a deaf ear to slander.
Be considerate in correcting others.
Do not be taken up by trifles.
Do not resent plain speaking.
Meet offenders half-way.
Be thorough in thought.
Have an open mind.
Do your duty without grumbling.

LUMBER MILLS— HELPLESS TO CONTROL
(Oregon Voter)
After years of heart-breaking effort to try to keep oper­
ating in order to avoid inflicting the hardships on their em ­
ployes that would be involved by less costly closing down,
the lumber mills now face a situation th at may compel
them to gasp up the host of enterprise. They cannot meet
the A.F. of L. union demands, for the m arket prices obtain­
able will not begin to cover the cost. If with the aid of their
official accomplices, the A.E. of L. unions insist on pressing
their demands, there is nothing the mills can do. with few
exceptions, but close down. The effect on the loyal w ork­
ers as well as the striking workers is tragic, as is also the
effect on the com m unities which live on the activity of
lumber.
Democrat legislators would like to “eat their cake and
have it too.” The attorney general has ruled th a t legislators
accepting state or federal appointm ents m ust resign. They
expec t to contest the ruling since such a procedure would
put the house back into the hands of the hated republicans.
