Speculation
Prices of securities on the Stock
Exchange are now from 30 to 50 per
cent lower than they were a month
ago.
The Federal Reserve Banks have
reduced their rate of rediscount
Those events are the beginning of
a period of economic readjustment
in America.
For four years the prices of stocks
have been running wild. Twenty-two
million persons. Wall Street estim
ates, were infected with the delu
sion that money can be got honestly
without working for it Now their
money is in the hands of gentlemen
who had no such delusions, and the
losers are going back to work.
It is hard to sympathize with the
amateur stock-market gambler even
if he has lost his life's savings In
speculating on margin. The same
ones will do the same thing again
when the next "bull" movement
starts. In the long run the realities
of business, the actual earnings of
industry, determine stock prices.
The speculating public does not be
lieve that and never will.
Ford
Far more Important to the nation
at large than the drop in stock
prices is the reduction of the price
of Ford cars.
Henry will pick up tens of thou
sands of customers who would have
bought bigger, if not better, cars If
they had cashed in their paper prof
its in Wall Street But he will also
sell some hundreds of thousands of
cars to folk who have worked for
every dollar they have, and to whom
the difference of twenty-five or fifty
dollars in price means the difference
between buying a new car or run
ning the aid one another year.
"Every time I cut the price," he
told me, "I uncover a new layer of
buyers."
The Ford Motor company has no
stockholders among the speculating
public. If it had, Ford cars would
cost more than they do. "Stockhold
ers- are a nuisance, Mr. Ford once
said to me. 'They don't think about
anything but dividends. I don't care
about dividends; I want to use the
profits of the business to make cars
better and cheaper.
Russia
Immense crowds flocked to Cur-
tiss Field to welcome the Russian
airplane which is flying around the
world. It surprised many good Am
ericans to discover that any Rus
sians even knew how to fly! People
have forgotten that before the Eu
ropean war the largest airplane
ever constructed, the only one em
bodying many of the modern engin
eering principles now in general use,
was built in Moscow by a Russian
engineer named Sikorsky, who is
now building planes in America.
Because bloodshed and destruc
tion the more sensational than
peaceful progress and construction,
we hear that sort of news from
Russia and do not hear of the Im
mense materia strides which that
enormous nation is making In in
dustry and agriculture. Whether
the present experiments in govern
ment in Russia will succeed or will
be succeeded by some other form,
nobody, not even the most Intelli
gent "Reds," will venture to pre
dict It took France nearly ninety
years, after the Revolution of 1789,
to get down to a stable government
al basis, trying several different
methods in that period. The one
prediction that can be made about
Russia is that Its people will never
return to the old, tyrranlcal Czarlst
system.
Meantime, Russia Is Americaniz
ing its industrial methods, import
ing engineers and advisers as well
as machinery and materials from
the United States, striving to lift
its immense hordes of peasants out
of their semi-barbarous state by
making them want things which
they can only get by changing their
whole scheme of life.
That is what civilization means.
the multiplication of human wants
and the discovery of means of satis
fying them. Russia is starting on
tne road to civilization.
Aviation
One hundred and sixty-nine pas
sengers new in a single airplane
over Lake Constance. Germany, for
bidden by the Treaty of Versailles
to build military aircraft has out
stripped the jle world in both
commercial planes and dirigibles.
Armstrong, American engineer, is
actually going ahead with his anch
ored floating islands in the Atlantic
to provide landing stages for ocean
flyers.
Look for regular air lines between
Europe and America in another five
or perhaps ten years. And look for
Uie largest und fastest of them to
bear the flag of the German repub
lic.
Perhaps, now that the Stock Mar
ket debacle is over, the big capital
ists of the United States will invest
more of their funds in the develop
ment of commercial aircraft to
compete with the Germans. So far
practically all of our Important fly
ing developments have been paid
for by the Government Aviation
will not become , a business, and
cargo and passenger carrying by
air will never be efficiently done, un
til private capital is invested in it
as it is in the railroads.
Shares in the best aviation com
panies, bought not as speculations
for a quick turn but as investments
to put away for future Income,
ought to be good things to buy.

Whether game wardens were
more observant or law violators
more bold is a mooted question but
none the less the records of the
state game commission disclose that
during the fiscal year ending Sep
tember 30, 1929, there were 69 more
arrests than during the prior year.
As a result of the increased number
of arrests the game protection fund
was increased approximately $4,000
over last year; this through fines
levied by justices of peace of var
ious counties.
Carl Pardey, of Canby, was fined
fifty dollars and costs in Clackamas
county last week for trapping with
out a license. His arrest was made
by deputy game wardens from the
Portland office of the commission.
Fifteen of his traps found along the
Willamette river between Canby
and Aurora were confiscated. Had
he been successful in eluding the
wardens and catching muskrats and
other fur bearing animals he would
have been unable to obtain good
prices for the skins as the weather
has not been sufficiently cold to
make them prime. The trapping
season will open December 1.
Bass, crapples and catfish, salvag
ed from the sloughs of the Willam
ette and Columbia rivers, by the
state game commission have re
cently been distributed as follows:
Mill Pond, Mill creek, Clackamas
county, 8,000; Mill pond, Oregon
American Lumber company, Ver-
nonla 8,000; Reynolds lake, Benton
county 6,000; Devils lake, Lincoln
county 15,000; Sunset lake, Clatsop
county 15,000; Smith lake, Clatsop
county 20,000.
Large plantings of rainbow trout
were made in lakes and streams of
Lake county, by the hatchery de
partment of the state game commis
sion, during tne last week as fol
lows: Dog lake 80,000, Dead Horse
creek 45,000, Dreuss creek 45,000,
south fork Deep creek 45,000, Drake
creek 35,000, Mud creek 35,000,
Twenty Mile creek 35,000, Blue lake
4,500, Shewacan river 40,000, Honey
creek 6,000, Anna river 45,000, Deep
creek 45,000.
The fish "Pullman" of the hatch
ery department of the state game
commission is planting this week
from the Bandon hatchery. Streams
and lakes of Coos and Curry county
will be planted.
When Matt Ryckman, superin
tendent of hatcheries of the game
commission speaks of eggs he
means fish eggs and not hen eggs.
Telephone operators Bhould under
stand this. A short time ago Mr.
Ryckman was called to telephone a
message to his men at Diamond
lake. It was necessary to relay
the message through a southern
Oregon station.
"Send five million eggs to Such
and Such. Send two million eggs
"What!" cut in the operator.
Mr. Ryckman repeated the mes
sage. "You don't mean millions do
you?" inquired the surprised oper
ator. "You mean dozens, don't
you?"
"Sister I mean just what I say
millions," replied Mr. Ryckman.
"I'm talking about fish eggs not
the hen house variety."
"Oh!"
During the past year the hatchery
