DEFAMINa
THE Dps Moines Capital is ono of those eastern papers
'thai never let tin opportunity slip to slant the fair
fame and good name of Oregon. Kvery possible and im
possible item derogatory to the state is printed so as to
convoy the impression to the minds of its readers that of
all undesirable places to reside in. Oregon is the limit
both in climate, opportunity and people.
All this because of the fact that the 1910 federal cen
sus showed that Iowa was losing population, because of
tho drift of her eitixens from her cyclone swept, sun
blistered and snow engulfed plains to the more equitable
clime of the Pacific northwest, especially to Oregon, the
land of great promise, an organixed effort is being made
to stem the immigration tide and misrepresentation and
abuse are printed by the column.
Tho Capital of February 2 contains two characteristic
attacks upon Oregon, one to the governor of Iowa from
the Central Labor Council of Portland, which hopes to
profit by shortage iu labor which will increase wages, and
therefore would shut out immigration and check develop
ment. The labor organization knocks Oregon in the fol
lowing woeful strain:
''Oregon, comprising a territory of u'0.000 square mjles
with a population of about 700,000 people, is in the main
a great wilderness of forests and mountains. The foiests
arc largely held for speculation by the railroad interests
and other great corporations. To clear an aero of this
forest land, after it has been logged off, costs from $50 to
100 per acre. Hence thoru is little chance for paying
farms on such lands, except for men with considerable
capital.
"Open country, suitable for farming, has long ago been
taken up and prices for such farm land are very high.
"Railroad transportation throughout the state is very
poor.
me orenaru lanits are neui tor almost lanuious prices,
in the hope that easterners can be fooled to buy them The
same trick that was played twenty years ago iu southern
California, when orange orchards sold for $1000 an acre.
"The bottom of these wild-cat schemes dropped out in
California and the Coxev armv followed. 'Hie bottom of
Oregon's wild-cat schemes is now dropping eut: hence
idleness, destitution and a general reign of crime commit
ted by misled and desperate men." ,
This probably comes from the same professional bunch
of paid labor leaders who asserted that working
men were starving on account of lack of work, and yet
when real work was offered these same workingmen, they
refused to accept. There is less idleness, want and misery
in Oregon than in any eastern state, despite the fact that
a never ending stream of shiftless humanity is dumped
into the country every year, mostly hoboes escaping Iowa
climate. This class of labor Won't work and don't want to.
But the Capital cannot be blamed for printing the
above wail. On another page occurs, however, one of its
manufactured bits of animosity a letter purported to be
written from Portland by one T. B. Dowdon. Tt is ex
tremely doubtful if the writer ever visited Portland. It
was probably written in the Capital office, by one of its
own bright young men. It is headed, "You Need AVeb
Feet in Pacific Coast Countrv. Bains Constantly Jit
Portland."
But the rank old chestnuts the writer springs! He
says: "I have heard it said that the second generation of
native sons become partly web-footed, and that the third
generation become confirmed palmipeds." And then the
ancient josh about the catfish being used to clean the
sewer and other smart-alec witticisms forgotten for almost
two generations. Beal esttite, he concludes, is the chief
topic of conversation.
There is no need to refute such misrepresentations,
fjovcrnment figures tell the story. The average annual
rainfall for Dps Moines is 32.4 indies, for Portland 45.1,
for Medford 27. The .'January metin temperature for 'Dos
Moines is 20, for Portland 139, for Medford 42.
No Iowan who has ever lived in Oregon will live in
Iowa again if he can help it not if he has the normal bump
of appreciation of the good things of life.
Life's too short to live in Towa.
