Washington, one industry
I was in Washington for a few
days recently, and what impressed
me most was the utter ignorance of
the people of Washington about
what is going on in the rest of the
world.
Building industiy is booming,
constructing new Government
buildings. Government employees
are working every day, yelping
mildly about a small reduction in
salaries. Streets are crowded with
cars, driven with the utmost reck
lessness and most inefficient traffic
regulation. Stores are- doing as
good business as ever, at prices
much higher than in New York.
Rents are almost up to the highest
level.
Washington has but one industry,
the Government of the United
States. It is so detached from the
rest of the county that is might as
well be in some other nation. It is
difficult for the men who run the
government to realize how bad con
ditions are elsewhere, when they
see evidence all around them of
great prosperity.
I have long believed that it was a
serious mistake to locate the seat
of government away from the cen
ter of business and Industrial ac
tivity. If I could do it, I would
move the Capitol and the White
House to Chicago, which is where
they ought to be if they are really
to represent the American people
effectively.
Land . . safest investment
In spite of the fact that many
owners of real estate have suffered
great losses in the past few years,
land remains the safest, soundest
investment in the long run. The
supply is limited, for one thing. In
creasing population means increas
ing demand for land. Every baby
born on Manhattan Island increases
the value of the Woolworth build
ing. The time to buy land is now.
Dollars are high now; they will be
much cheaper shortly. Land is
cheap; it will be much higher be.
fore long. The time to buy anything
is when everybody else wants to
sell. If you own land, hold on to It;
If you have dollars, buy land with
them for safety.
Don't speculate In land! Pay for
it and hold It. Don't speculate In
anything on which you can't real
ize something at a moment's no
tice. You can't move land around;
you must wait until someone wants
that piece at that spot. So buy
land Intelligently, in the part of
the movement of population. Re
gard it as an investment for your
children rather than as a way to
make yourself rich over night.
The world's greatest and most
enduring fortunes have been made
by buying land and holding on to it.
Education, learns to work
My friend Walter Lippman, who
also writes a column and, curious
ly enough, picked the same title for
it as this column of mine, wrote
something recently which seems to
me the best statement of its kind
I have ever seen:
"The truly educative process,'
said Lippman, "consists in learning
to deal with reality, that is to say
with people and objeots and events
that are not the mere projection of
one's own wishes. Education is a
matter of putting away childish
things, of discovering that events
do not respond to words, of learn
ing that the world is not in us but
that we are in the world."
Most of us live in a world of
"wishful thinking." We'd like to
be rich, and we dream of what we
would do if we were rich, but we
aren't willing to take all the trou
ble and worry on ourselves that
anyone must take if he is to attain
riches. Education, as Mr. Lippman
points out, ought to teach youth
that it must work for what it gets.
Too many young people grow up
these days with the idea that the
world owes them a living. The
world owes nobody anything for
which he does not give a commen
surate return in labor of one sort
or another.
Competition . . new order
For a great many years the Uni
ted States has been committed to
the principal that free competition
in business and industry is. In the
long run. the best wav to pet Ahead
We set up anti-trust laws to prevent
combinations and insure competi
tion. Everyone who has eiven the mnt.
ter even a little thought realizes
that the antitrust laws have not
worked as they were expected to.
competition has proved ruinous In
many industries; in the soft coal
industry, for instance, where the
owner of a coal mine had to work
it himself if he was to get any
thing out of it at all, instead of
combining with other mine-owners
to produce only as much as the
market would absorb and all share
the profit.
All the signs point to the discard
ing of all regulations prohibiting
trade combinations and the estab
lishment under Government super
vision of groups and associations of
manufacturers and producers to fix
prices and determine all other trade
conditions.
That is. of course, soine to make
it harder for the ordinary man to
get nimseii established in a compet
itive business or indnstrv. Tt win
result in the hest men ripvminc
employees instead of independent
Dusiness men and tne less than best
dropping out of sight In the mass
of humanity.
That may be better for the social
order, if we conceive that to be a
system under which all humanity
will eventually occupy the same
plane of activity and Income, but I
greatly fear that when we take any
steps to stifle the initiative of the
individual and to limit his oppor
tunities we will be abandoning the
fundamental principle that has
made America what it is.

With Egg Prices Strong
Fewer commercial chicks were
hatched during the first three
months this year than last, but la
ter orders booked indicate an In
crease for the eastern part of the
country over last year, according
to a review of the poultry situa
tion issued by the Oregon State col
lege extension service.
Heaviest decrease for the first
three months was in the north cen
tral United States where the p-o-ductlon
of salable chicks was 10
per cent under a year ago. The
Pacific coast is maintaining a fair
ly even trend being 3 per cent un
der last year for March, with indi
cations of 4 per cent below for la
ter bookings. Bookings for the
whole country for April and later
showed an Increase of 16 per cent
over last year.
Egg prices are in a favorable po
sition for producers in Portland
compared with a year ago. In
stead of the usual heavy decline
they have held up so that early In
May quotations were back to the
level of a month ago and two cents
above the same period a year ago.
Coast production has been in
creasing slightly but remains from
13 to 16 per cent under a year ago.
Middle western production has
been definitely declining for tJ-e
last few weeks.
Butter markets at Portland have
also taken the opposite trend this
spring from that usually followed
at this season. Prices early in May
had gone higher than the month
previous and were as much as 5
cents above the corresponding tirjt :
a year ago.
Nationally the butter market was
nervous and unsettled as dealers
tried to anticipate the effect of the
Inflationary legislation. Reports
