Thus, periods of prosperity are marked
by increases in commercial as well as sav
ings deposits. Periods of readjustment,
with their accompanying problems of un
employment, show themselves in a de
cline of commercial deposits and a slight
change of savings deposits. And as
times become better and the future looms
big with possibilities, bank deposits grow
again and business comes to life.

in the United States. Among the

and Robert M. Lovett.
The American Civil Liberties Union
an organization composed of Socia
lists, and those even more radical, to
finance and promote revolutionary
movements in the United States.
One of the avowed purposes of this
union is to furnish aid to radical or
ganizations and individuals who are
in legal difficulty as the result of
their lawless activities and anti-gov
Jrnment propaganda and action. This
aid la given on the pretense that it
is in defense of the liberty of speech.
In point of fact it finances the de
fense of those who are engaged in
preaching sedition, treason, revolu
tion, anarchy and open defiance of
law and order. The director of this
union is Roger N. Baldwin, an avowed
anarchist, a member in good stand
ing of the I. W. W. He served one
year in jail in 1918 because of hia
activities against the government
during the war.
The Emergency Peace Federation

mittee which met in New York May

THe IDEA.! r-ANNT, ---ir- V " ' '"ZT J
meeting was Morris Hillquit, the not
ed Socialist. The committee, as ori
ginally organized was composed of
about 40 persons. The purpose of the
meeting was to coordinate the various
individuals and societies which were
opposed to the activities of the United
States government in connection
with its prosecution of the war. The
committee advocated resistence to
the government in time of war. The
upshot of this meeting was the or
ganization of:
The Conference for Democracy and
Terms of Peace. This was for the
purpose of assembling all the anti
government groups. It called a con
ference on May 30, 1917. At that
time the United States had been at
war for two months and the draft
act had been enacted. At this con
ference open, defiance of the govern,
ment was urged, sedition was preach
ed and it was decided to oppose the
operation of the draft act and other
war legislation. In order to carry
out this program, the confernce re
solved to organize:
The People's Council: This body
openly carried on anti-war and sedi
tious propaganda throughout the dur
ation of the war.
Practically all those who are now
imprisoned and whose release is being
advocated by the Joint Amnesty Com
mittee of the Civil Liberties Union
are those who are convicted of sedi
tion or espionage and sent to prison
as the result of that conviction.

The Bad Citizenship of Good Citizens.
The country is not suffering from
bad citizens. No country ever suff
ered from such. Our country is suff
ering from the bad citizenship of
good citizens. Communities, states,
and nations have no better govern
ment than the negligent citizen pro
duces. The responsibility for bad
government rests upon the negligent
citizen, the absentee from the ballot
box, and the man who is dodging his
civic duty.
The business man and the banker
use every possible means to escape
jury duty. They ars traitors to
good government. You hesr busi
ness and professional men say that
they are not interested in politics.
They are undesirable citizens. It is
impossible for a taxpayer, a home
owner, an honest man, to stay out
of politics. Because of bis neglect
to perform his duty, he increases
the taxes of all the people.
What is politics? It is the sci
ence of government. The science of
good government.
Portland, Dec. 26. Reports receiv
ed from representatvies of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce engaged
in raising, in this city, the sum of
(300,000 to be used in a state wide
development and advertising cam
paign, indicate the intense interest
that is being taken in the plan by
business and professional men of
Portland. Notwithstanding the ob
stacles in the form of community
chest affairs, the Astoria disaster
and holiday activities, that have pre
sented themselves since the drive
started on December 15, more than
one-third of the amount has been
pledged. Without any doubt, cham
ber officials assert, the remainder will
be forthcomirj, and the organisation
will be prepared to launch its project
for the upbuilding of all of Oregon
shortly after the first of the new
year.
. An interesting feature of the move
ment so far has been the strong en
dorsement by Portland's largest in
dustrial and commercial institutions
of the Chamber's determination to
give all the aid possible to the devel
opment of the state outside of Port
land, the establishment of a coop
erative marketing system whereby
the producer may be able to sell his
crop at a profit and the placing of
the farmer on a better and more se
cure footing.
' These business men realise that
Portland cannot continue to prosper
unless the entire state prospers,"
said O. W. Mielke, president of the
Chamber of Commerce in commenting
on this phase of the movement. "And
it is with this thought uppermost in
their minds that they are regarding
their subscriptions in the nature of
an investment in Oregon and the
state's future. They know that some
measures must be taken immediaate
ly for the relief of the farmer. They
believe that cooperative marketing Is
a step in the right direction and they
are backing their opinions with their
money. They are going to furnish
right here in the city the finances
for carrying out the work. They are
confident that the results will be so
gratifying and so apparent that when
the present campaign is ended, it will
have been found necessary that the
work should be continued on a mora
extensive scale. We believe the in
vestment will prove so profitable that
there will be no difficulty In raising
a much larger sum. We believe this
movement will be a permanent one,
although the present programme con
siders a period of but two years.
"The advertising feature of the
plan is important as a means of at
tracting tourists and others to the
state, but the general belief among
those who have studied the situation
is that no time should be lost in get
ting the farmers into a better posi
tion." As an instance of the interest that
is being taken in the movement, at
tention is called to the larger sub
scriptions made by Portland firms.

Then every man, woman, and
child ought to be forced to study
the science of government. And
every man ought to be a practical,
common sense, persistent, courag
eous everlasting politician. When
men get so pious, so good, and so
busy that they cannot afford to per
form their plain political and civic
duties they become a curse to so
ciety, a menace to government, a
burden to the taxpayer and a blight
on citizenship.
The average non-active man is a
consummate coward, and it is his
infamous cowardice that has plunged
this country into innumerable errors.
Out of the cowardice of such men
we have filled the legislatures and
the Congress of the United States
with spineless men; consequently,
we legislate under the whip lash of
a party master or we fail to legislate
because of timidity and cowardice.
The common public is unrepre
sented and suffers untold burdens
because of the bad citizenship of
good citizens.
