OREGON VOTER. rpHE statement given to the press by Senator Stanfield up on his arrival in Portland last Monday, was a shock and a sur prise to many of his friends. He did not repudiate the state ments that came from Washington, D. C, in which he was quoted as saying that he woudl withhold de cision as to an independent can didacy for United States senator until he had investigated the "yel low ticket" episode. Nor did he in his Portrland statement flatly say that he would not permit his name to be filed as an independent candidate. In the absence of any direct statement to the contrary, one is forced to as sume that Senator Stanfield is ser iously considering becoming an in dependent candidate in case he can find sufficient aggravation aid personal injury in the circulation of the offending ticket. If the circulation of that unlaw ful ticket on the eve of the pri mary election is finally given as one of the principal reasons for an eventual candidacy, The Voter believes that it will be put forward as a plausible excuse rather than as a legitimate reason for such a foolhardy act. As an excuse it can be made to serve the purpose well, for the ticket has had wide public ity given its questionable status. But to allege that its political ef fect was sufficiently serious to warrant its use as the basis for an independent candidacy in view of the 10,616 Steiwer lead, would be a sample of political skull work not in keeping with the reasoning ability of either Senator Stanfield or his principal advisors. The only ground on which Sen ator Stanfield could justifiably erect an independent contest would be a serious belief that he could be elected. That is a purely personal consideration, and ex cludes the question of the effect of such an act upon the fortunes of the republican party in Oregon next November. Possibly Stan field and his friends can satisfy themselves that he has sufficient political strength to legitimately justify him making the effort to be Dclrank Crane Says The Fundamental Need is Kindness. THE older I grow the more I become convinced of the val idity of one of my earlier beliefs. Namely, that the fundamental need of this world is kindness. Everyone is thirsting for understanding, for sympathy, for the refreshing touch of a kindly heart. The yearning may be covered up by a show of cleverness, sophistry or cynicism, but sooner or later, as Amiel so beauti fully describes it, "just when one has succeeded in deadening feeling by work or amusement, all of a sudden the heart, soli tary captive that it is, sends a cry from its prison depths, a cry which shakes to its foundations the whole surrounding edifice." It is the cry for sympathy and kindness. Those who are just kindly have their place in the world. The other evening I was reading again the story of those turbulent times of Charles I, in England. Out of the mass of picturesque self-seekers an unknown pri vate soldier stands out in my memory. As the King was led out to his death, a private soldier stand ing near the door said in pity, "God bless you, Sir." An officer knocked him down. No matter how black the crimes of the condemned man, nor how just the decree, that private soldier showed a kindness of nature in the face of popular disapproval that raised him high above the ruck of his surroundings. I have often wondered what his name was. Men of the kindly heart have included some of the greatest names of history. Leonardo de Vinci, the universal genius of Italy, was in the habit of buying caged birds to have the pleasure of giving them their freedom. Pythagoras, the noble-minded Greek teacher, is said to have one day purchased from fishermen the fish in their nets in order to have the joy of freeing them. Companionship for the unfortunate, however humble, is the mark of a superior soul. Kindness is the core of character. It is the power of the Golden Rule applied to the every day. When Lincoln's mother was dying in her frontier cabin she put her hand on little Abe's head and told him always to "be kind to his father and sister." There is more than an accidental relationship between the character of the greatest man of our age and the fact that "be ing kind" was the only request of his dying mother. "NEWS and PROGRESS" No. ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE AND SERVICE OF THE AMERICAN NEWSPAPER AND NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING- From latest volume in Manhattan Library of Popular Economics, republished in serial form through courtesy of Bank of the Manhattan Company, New York. THE POWER BEHIND N the Fall of 1923 an odd form of calamity befell New York City. It was not an "Act of God." Fire, flood or famine did not threaten. There was neither rumor of war nor suggestion of riot. The weather was friendly, the public health cood. transportation was uninterrupted and business moved smoothly vet into this peaceful picture there suddenly descended a kind of community paralysis that filled multitudes with dismay. Had it not passed as swiftly as it came, it would be hard to calculate its con sequences, but even its few days of duration cost mil lions of dollars. More than this, it revealed in a some what startling way the degree to which all the activities of a great city were dependent on a commodity which most people had taken unthinkingly, as a matter of course. What had happened J Merely that for the first time in two centuries New York found itself without its usual newspapers. A press room strike had halted their publication. While most people had been aware of a controversy between pub lishers and employees, it had generally been regarded in the casual way with which one is apt to view the affairs of others until, on a certain day, it became suddenly and distressingly personal. On that day there was no paper on the doorstep. The news-stands were unnaturally bare. Commuters were driven to watching familiar landscapes as their trains rushed city-ward instead of renewing their contacts with the happenings of the four continents. The world seemed strangely out of joint. Store sales sagged abruptly, for only the show windows remained to tell the daily bargains. Finance, always dependent on the latest news, was thrown back upon the thin stream of information that came trickling through the tape. What was hap peningin Washington, in Chicago, in Lon-, don? The world ofcbusiness was hesitant, uncertain, because it was poorly informed. Even for the humblest tradesman this sudden stoppage of news was an incon venience; for many others it was fraught with the gravest possibilities. Why was this experience so disconcert ing? Because it produced a feeling of isola tion; it cut off the city from the outside world not physically, but mentally; it even cut off the residents of the city from knowledge of each other, because people have come to rely almost entirely on the papers for their local news. One may be in a room with a number of others; bit if the lights are suddenly turned out, one feels elected. If that eventuality be comes the basis of their indepen dent action, let them say so, rath er than shove forward as a screen the alleged injury from the "yel low ticket. The Voter doubts whether the few fake "yellow tickets" that ac tually got into hands of voters be fore the day of the primary elec tion, actually influenced more than a handful of votes, speaking in terms of the total vote cast. It doubts if the ticket changed to the injury of any candidates whose names appeared thereon, includ ing Senator Stanfield, more than a negligible number of votes. And much less excuse is there for mak ing the ticket the basis of an inde pendent campaign, if that action is even partly predicated on the assumption that the Steiwer head quarters had any part in initiating or distributing the ticket. With its customary befuddled ness, the principal newspaper agi tation of the "yellow ticket" con fuses for the public the illegality PROGRESS strangely alone. People cannot co-operate m the dark. When the newspapers sus pended, co-operation became difficult in some cases, impossible. There are communities abroad where the lack of a newspaper may be merely a vexation. Not so with America, for America, in a unique sense, is the land of voluntary co-operation; this is the basic principle of its wonderful development, Machines can operate in the dark, but not men. When judgment and volition are de manded, people must be keenly aware of one another. 1 he newspaper is a happy in strument for satisfying human curiosity, but its real (unction is to bring about that awareness so that people, however widely separated, may work together intern gently and effectively. The newspaper is in itself a remarkable example of voluntary co-operation. Not oniy is it a comniex raonc woven or tne labors and abilities of hundreds within its of the ticket under the Oregon law and the injustice done Stanfield not to mention other candidates whose names appeared on it. The political effect of the list of names and the alleged faked auspices of the card, and the illegality of the issuance of the ticket itself, are two different things. Yet they are being strung together in a manner that cleverly inflames the public mind. The guilty perpetrators of the hoax, if it was a hoax, can be punished for the act of violating the state's corrupt practices act, but they are not legally liable for any effect the ticket might have had upon the political fortunes of any one candidate. Stanfield should have no better claim upon the public's political sympathy than any of the other candidates whose names appeared on the pasteboard. Yet it serves the pur pose of one newspaper to capital I7( the Qirtlfltinn nn hphalf nf nnA I candidate in the hope that Haney might be elected. Clemenceau on the U. S. A THE letter that Clemenceau sent to President Coolidge ex pressed no high opinion of the united btates attitude on war debts. The old French tiger is fighting for his country and uses the weapons at hand. Four years ago, when he wrote an introduc tion for his book called "Industrial America in the World War" Clem enceau thought well of the United States and what it had done for France. Read this extract from Mr. Clemenceau's own writing: "Meanwhile, here are some eloquent figures. In eighteen months the United States sent us 5,000,000 tons of food supplies and 5,000,000 tons of war materials. The steel they sent us represented the raw material for 160,000,000 75' shells. The food they sent fed 12,000,000 French men for a year and a half. If this help had not been forth coming, our army could not have held." When Clemenceau wrote that, Europe had not yet changed Un cle Sam's name to "Uncle Shy lock." Contemptible. OREGONIAN. FREDERICK W. STEIWER was born in this state; he was reared in this state; he was edu cated in this state; he has engaged in the practice of law in this state and has been honored by political office in this state. He is known among his college mates, among his neighbors, among the members of his profession, among his po litical associates and among all citizens who know him, as a man of unimpeachable character, right thinking and decent professional and political practices. These groups of responsible Oregon citi zens have testified to these facts and if necessary will do it again. 1 m tlif Bank of the Manhattan Co., N. X. The American newspaper enters every home in. the land plant and of thousands on the outside, but it usually is a part of one of those great associations of newspapers through which the news of the world is daily gathered, ex changed and mide available to all. Wot less significant and quite as import ant is the triangular co-operation between publisher, advertiser and public. Once it ceases, publishing, merchandising and buying all languish and the wheels of progress stop. When it is considered that there are 45,000,000 copies of each issue of 13,400 newspapers entering every home, ohice and workshop of the land, we begin to realize the vastness of this co-operation. We begin also to sense the extent of the constantly renewed influence which brings our millions of people into continuous con scious touch with each other. Next article, "From Newi Letter to Newspaper.") For purposes of democratic par ty expediency an attack upon the honor of Mr. Steiwer has now been made by W. S. U'Ren. The basis of this attack is a statement made by one, and the reputed ac tivities of two other irresponsible political camp followers. U'Ren, himself, had joined the democratic effort to defeat the nomintion of Mr. Steiwer. He printed a silly contribution to the democratic press and got his picture on its first page. When, prior to elec tion, it became apparent that Mr. Steiwer would be nominated he declared his purpose to bolt the republican party with which he was registered. In the light of these circum- stances the attack upon the honor of Mr. Steiwer by Mr. U Ren will be looked upon as insincere, shah by and contemptible. i Quacks Get Busy. JOSEPH HERALD. JUST when Oregon is beginning to teel a wave of prosperity the political quacks and expen menters get busy and trot out a $40,000,000 state power bill. Not content with riding industries down with state regulation, those busy-bodies would wrench control from the private owners and put it in the hands of inexperienced meddlers who crave political pow er. Who among the people back of this measure can name a single instance where state control has created and developed a great in dustry? What reason is there for wresting control from the people who have created and developed these industries and placing it in the hands of a group of untrained political pets of a power-grasping governor? How is the farmer's position going to be improved by saddling a $40,000,000 bond issue on the state, the funds to be ex pended in trying to develop cheap power under the guidance of peo ple who know nothing about the practical side of power develop ment? The state s affairs are hav ing rough enough sledding now without the added burden of a $40,000,000 bond issue. The thing Oregon needs most is a rest from agitation and abuse of the initiative and referendum. Most of us know too little about our own business and we certainly have no right to attempt to run something we know less about. Railroad Taxes in Oregon. THE taxes paid in Oregon in 1925 by the large railways op erating in that state amounted to $2,736,341, according to a state ment just issued by the Western Railways Committee on Public Relations. From this 1925 tax figure, which has just been com piled by the Bureau of Railway economics in Washington, D. u, it appears that since 1911 the taxes paid in Oregon by the large railways have increased $1,995,- 326 or 269 per cent from the 191 1 total of $741,015. Part of. this increase, of course, is due to the growth of railway facilities in Oregon, but even on a mileage basis the tax increase has been large. In 191 1, Oregon taxes on the railways amounted to about $360 pre mile. In 1924 the latest year for which railway mileage in the state is available Oregon taxes per mile of railway were about $980. Further, from 1924 to 1925 taxes paid in Ore gon by the large railways in creased 6 per cent. For the Western District as a whole, railway tax payments have grown from $39,853,265 in 1911 to $146,665,332 in 1925. This is an increase of $106,812,067, or of 268 per cent. Western railway taxes averaged $109,187 each day in 1911, and $401,823 each day in 1926, an average daily increase of $292,636. In the first six months of 1926, there was a still further tax in crease on the Western railways of six per cent over the corresepond ing months of 1925. MRMiiSES IN E By J. R. HOWARD, "Dirt Parmer" and a National Author ity on Agricultural Problems, in National Republic. The recent farm crisis is by no means the first the farmers of Amer ica have experienced. Indeed, we could go back into Colonial history as far as 1716 and from then on find in termittent history of depression in which the farmer has always suffered. In all these periods would be found a peculiar parallelism in underlying causes; mainly, a too rapid expansion of agriculture or industry, with spec ulative values established in goad times as the contracting of debts in periods of inflation, which were paid at some later or less prosperous date at great sacrifice. I recently have gone through a study of probably sev en or eight periods of depression, and I find that this is the story of every one of them. And in every case far mers demanded governmental aid in the curing of economic ills, and in every case, as soon as prosperity again came, the demand for legisla tion and governmental aid immediate ly stopped. History is filled with the epitaphs of ploitical parties that sprang into being for the correction by government of distressing condi t;ons, but these movements died im mediatetly with the re-swing of the economic pendulum. Good cotton lands sold as high as $1,500 an acre in 1835. This puts into the shade our recent speculative land boom in Iowa. Small wonder that there was a crisis of 1837 and that the Congressional Record of the fol lowing days was filled with relief measures of various sorts which were introduced by the senators and con gressmen. The year 1897 ushered in the great est era of agricultural prosperity that any farmers of any nation ever ex- perienced extending to the period of the World War. Agricultural capital, building its surplus solely from Its own resources, doubled in the decade from 1900 to 1910. The statement that money has never been made in farming is fallacious. Farming has been, over the spread of years, just as profitable as any other business and will continue to be, but probably not more so; else, as my father used to say, everybody would go to the farm. The future of American agriculture presents a hopeful outlook. Produc tion seems to hove been overtaken by consumptive demands at pricas of reasonable profit. The improved land areas are stationary and will never greatly expand. Rural population is also stationary, while national popula- tion is growing rapidly. As our rela tive volume of agricultural exports diminishes, which it will do over a term of years, we become less affected by the possibility of declining mar kets abroad and benefitted by the im proved domestic consumption. Good years and bad years will always be experienced. Depressions will, in all probability, come again from time to time as they have in the past, because prosperity will bring speculation and inflation bring deflation just as has occurred many times in the past. But over a period of years an upward trend of agricultural prosperity ex tending over many years is indicated. FOR SALE. Italian prunes in suit cases, 40c. Add 3Bc for delivery, or can send C. O. D.
