.,, SECESSION.
ArOXG the measures submitted the legislature, which
is .importaut ns reflecting upon the effort oE the
Portland policy upon the remote portions of the state, was
Senate Joint Memorial No. 20, introduced by Senator
Baldwin and Representative Merryman of Klamath, ask
ing secession of Klamath from Oregon to unite, with Cali
fornia. It reads as follows : ,
Whereas. Klamath county, Oregon, is ono of tho largest and most pro-.
ducttve counties of the state; and whereas Klamnth county Is tho second
largest shipping point in the state of Oregon; and whereas Klamath comi
ty has no northerly outlet to the state of Oregon; mid whereas tho tax
payers of Klamath county have expended thousands of dollars for tho
construction of highways and aro now constructing a railroad for the pur
pose of securing an outlet to the city of. Portlnnd; aud whereas tho busi
ness Interests of tho state at one time promised the taxpayers of Klam
ath county they would assist them and have now failed and neglected to
do so; and whereas Klamath county , is apparently of no value to' tho slate
of Oregon except for tho purpose of taxation; and whoreas the hanking,
livestock and lumber business of our fair county Is now in the hands of
the people of California; and whereas the state of California has offered
to -build permanent highways to our boundary lines and Increaso our rail
road facilities; and whereas tho state of California has recognlted tho
Importance of our industries; and whereas Klamath county is geograph
ically situated so that It might easily become a part of the state of Cali
fornia; now, therefore,
tie it resolved, that our sonators and representatives In congress bo
memorialized to use their Influence to permit Klamath county to socodo
from the state of Oregon and attach themselves to and become a part of
the state of California. ' . v .
Of course the legislature promptly smothered the reso
lution, for Klamath county is desired for the. taxes if pays
to be spent in other sections, although tho California leg
islature adopted a similar resolution to welcome .Klamath,
Jackson county is m much the same category as Kla
math everything going out and nothing coming in, no
state institutions, no recognition in appointments, no part
m and no benetit from the government. e are on the
Pacific. highway only because we spent half a million of
our own money to build it, whereas the state spends the
money in other counties;
Crater Lake is a joint Jackson-Klamath national at
traction, but the great state of Oregon has done nothing to
mace it accessible tnougir jacKson county has spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars on the Crater Lake road.
It is the only national park in' Oregon and one of the
world's natural wonders yet Portland financiers refuse
to aid in its development. ,
It would be worth millions of dollars for Jackson
county to be part of California for California does not
neglect, its tributary territory. : Californians do not per
mit established railroads to be junked and rich natural
resources leit undeveloped for lack of railroads. Lon
since we would have had "proper highway development.
In any effort for session, all southern Oregon ought to
join hands with Klamath, for this" region couldn't be more
neglected than it is by Oregon. If self-determination of
peoples atf ected govern, there would rJe no question of the
success or. succession. .
A i Counsel of Cowardice
"The proudest thing I have to re
port to you," said President Wilson
in his speech in Boston, "is that this
great country of ours Is trusted turn
out the world."
This is the proudest thing that any
president could report. It is the
highest tribute that can be paid to
the republic How, then, is that
trust to be kept? How is the faith of
the world in the American people to
be maintained?
That was the text of the presi
dent's address, and nobody familiar
with conditions in Europe can deny
his conclusion:
"This confidence we have estab
lished thruout the world Imposes a
burden upon us. Any man who re
sists the present tides that run in the
world will find himself thrown upon
a shore so high and barren, that it
will seem as If he had been separat
ed from his humankind forever.
"If America were at this juncture
to fail the world, what would come
of it? America is the hope of the
world, and if she does not justify that
hope the results are unthinkable."
Suppose, he continued in effect,
we sign the treaty of peace and do
no more, we will have nothing but
a modern scrap of paper. .
Thus far, the opposition to the
League of 'Nations in tho United
States, and particularly in the senate
has been a counsel of cowardice. It
has come from timid men who are
afraid to permit the United States to
play a man's part in the world. They
fear that it may cost money. .They
fear that it will entail duties. They
suspect that great friendly peoples
like the British, the French, and the
Italians are at heart thieves and ban
dits who are luring us into a dar
kened street only to rob and murder
us. They aro terrified of responsi
bilities.
They worry about the constitution
and the Monroe doctrine and the
Panama canal. They grow sick at
heart at the very thought that the
nation which has taught self-govern-ihent
to the Filipinos might be asked
to assist some other backward people
on the road to freedom. -
When these critics are not ruled
by their cowardice they are ruled by
their petty parochial prejudices. They
think the United States ean bo in the
world but not ;of the world. They
would have the most powerful of re
publics emulate the example of the
Coreans and become a hermit nation
lest association with other countries
corrupt our hearts and our Institu
tions. They do not believe that wars
can be prevented, but if wars can be
prevented IeJ somebody else stop
them. It Is none of our business, and
by being neutral there would be op
portunities for making money.
Moreover, a League of Nations as
a practical thing in international af
fairs is an innovation, and innova
tions are always to be regarded with
suspicion. Besides, President Wilson
favors it,' and everything that the
president advocates should be' op
posed. Perhaps he coerced the 'Brit
ish, the French and the Itallas. Who
knows? This scheme to prevent war
may bo all a subtle plot for his own
political aggrandizement. And so it
runs.
Bnt the hard facts of the world sit
uation must be faced. The millions
of men who have suffered the horrors
of this war, the hundreds of millions
of people who have made the sacri
fice of life and treasure, have rightly
regarded it as a war to end war. If
it is not that to them, If their chil
dren must tread the blood-stained
path that they nave trod, if the old
order of things is to be restored, all
this agony has been in vain. If there
is to be' no assurance of peace and
security, if the nations are not to
exert their reason and their power to
maintain the liberty that has been
won, what was the good of it all?
Is there any American in the senate
or out of the senate who is prepared
to assume the moral responsibility
for thus cheating the living and de
frauding the dead?
No critic of the League of Nations
has advanced any pjan of his own by
which the peace that ends this war
can bo guaranteed. Not one of them
holds out the smallest measure, of
hope to a civilization wounded al
most to death. They leave the world
weltering in its own blood and tell
the afflicted peoples to heal them
selves as best they can.
Tho World does not believe that
that sentiment represents the mind
and tho heart of tho American people.
They may be confused for tho mo
ment by the clamoc of discordant
voices, but they have never strayed
far from the ideals of the republic.
As the president said yesterday, "We
set this nation up to make men free,
and now we will make men free."
And that is bis challenge to his oppo
nents when he Invites them to "teBt
the sentiment of America."
