Water vs. Coal.
The great coal strike of this year
brings the counry a long step near
to the time when none of us will care
if they don't mine any coal at all.
The American people are becom
ing very tired of -high coal prices
and the everlasting coal strikes.
They realize that a thousand rivers
and high lakes in this country are
capable of producing hundreds of
millions of electrical horsepower,
and they are more and more intent
that government and capital shall
develop the energy now going to
waste. The great muddy Missouri
when properly harnessed will fur
nish 10,000,000 horsepower and the
Mississippi much more. Even the
creeks running through the farmers'
back lots can be utilized and with
the latest inventions their low power
turned into cheap heat as well as
light for the fanners' houses and
barns.
It is only a few years since it was
believed that electricity could not be
carried a great distance without ex
pensive loss of energy. The plants
at Niagara were prducing more pow
er than could be usd by Buffalo and
nearby towns on this and the Canad
ian side. Then came an invention
or two and the Niagara power was
carried as far as Syracuse, nearly
150 miles in a bee line. Now the
engineers are laying out a route
from the Niagara plant to Yonkers, a
suburb of New York city, a distance
of more than 300 miles in a straight
line.
That means that the coal-electric
light and power companies will have
competition. Then watch the fur fly
as between coal and water. Ameri
can Press.
A Menace to Oregon.
Oregon will have two income tax
bills and the familiar single tax mea
sure to vote upon next among the
proposed measures at coming elec
tion. The theory of the state income tax
is that by inaugurating this new
form of taxation, property taxes will
be reduced, while the single tax
measure would load all taxes onto
property.
Neither one of the proposed bills
"guarantees" any reduction in taxa
tion. They simply offer new meth
ods of taxation. Experience has
proven that any new form of taxa
ation simply means an enlarged tax
bill.
With a state income tax on top of
property tax, federal income tax,
corporation taxes and other forms of
taxation, what incentive could the
state offer to the investor to come
and develop industries under a dou
ble system of income taxation?
The measure is an experiment
pure and simple, and the state of
Oregon will pay dearly at this time
for any measure which it passes that
will retard the inflow of capital to
the state. The Manufacturer.
Government A Dangerous
' Buzz Saw.
Perhaps the strongest bulwark of
the political boss is the almost uni
versal belief that principles are
greater than men. Scarcely a village,
town, county or state that has not
slipped over undesirable candidates
as against decent men because of
this conviction, so frequently in fact
that it is time we turned the micro
scope on this very vital assumption.
Morals are largely geographical and
always subject to the times. The
theory of right today may be wrong
tomorrow. In the early days princi
ples in government may have been
more vital than men. Indeed this
may be true today, but it is certain
that today the character of the men
we choose to serve us is more vital
than ever before in history, for in
matters of government we are com
pelled to put blind faith in the men
we chose to serve us. Government
tias become so highly technical, so
amazingly complex, that it is quite
beyond the understanding of the
average individual. The subtleties
of civic finance, the intricacies of
export trade, the complexities of
transportation problems by land and
sea, the technique of tariff, the be
wildering, contradictory elements
entering into scientific taxation, not
to speak of the dazing problems of
foreign, relations, have removed gov.
ernment so far from the ken of the
average citizen that he has lost all
touch with it; he feels it is some
thing with which he has grave con
cern, but in which he dares not to
express an opinion. His happiness,
his welfare, depend on the skill with
which these technical problems are
confronted, yet they can be man
handled to his complete undoing
without bis even sensing the folly of
his representative. Sjir.ir.ed up.
government has gone completely
from the hands of the people: it
seems to have outgrown the people.
The people have not kept up with
the procession. The press has been
insurtlcient as an educational force,
not for lack of desire, but because
the press must exist and the people
demand as the price of support the
publication of trivialities. The great
city newspapers have come to be a
mixture cf Diamond Dick, Sherlock
Holmes and Laura Jean Libbey,
stripped of personality, often devoid
of principle, pandering to the intel
lect of the flapper and assuming a
"mis-leadership" based on bluff and
bluster which rests on the inability
of the people to tear away the mask
of mock heroics and disclose a half
baked understanding of our national
vitamines. It seems as if we must
turn back the clock and take more
careful measure of integrity and
ability in those we must trust to do
for us the things we are unable our
selves to understand. If not this,
then we need some new svstem of
education in the land.
