urges economy, emphasizes the folly of freak legislation, particularly
the type that would unsettle legitimate business, and in a practical
inuttnr-of-fitet way, shows where expenses may be reduced by consoli
dation and elimination.
' Public interest will largely center in the recommendations, re
stricting .Japanese colonization, and urging monetary, aid for Ore
gon's service men. As questions of fundamental principle, both poli
cies are sound, and will undoubtedly be sympathetically received by
the legislature. Just how the policies are to be carried out is another
matter.
Fortunately Governor Oleott attacks the Japanese problem with
admirable restraint and discrimination, lie opposes Japanese colo
nization on the ground ol a racial difference, rather than a racial
antagonism. He acknowledges the splendid qualities of the Orientals,
he does not overlook their economic value as hard-working, thrifty
and law abiding citizens; but he declares that they can not be as
similated, that the yellow and white, like oil and water, will not mix

lhere is no yellow peril in Oregon. In the state at large there is
little or no anti-Japanese feeling. But the time to attack this proh
lem is not when it lias become a menace, but before, anil the present
situation in Calitoriiiii eloquently demonstrates that in urging action
now, the governor is allowing Oregon the opportunity to profit by ex
The monetary aid to service men is largely a questiofi of finance.
What these men as a- unit want, and there seems no question of their
unanimity, the people feel they should, in reason, have. What these
men did can not be measured in dollars and cents, but there is no doubt
that as a whole, they served their country at a considerable financial
sacrifice and the. people feel it is only right, that they should at least
see that this sacrifice is not borne by the fighting men alone.
Most financial experts seem agreed that the condition of national
finance renders a national bonus impracticable at the present time.
Under the circumstances, it would seem a desirable solution for the
states to assume at least a share of this burden, and for the federal gov
ernment to concentrate upon aid to the injured and'ailing, its delin
quency in this respect being nothing short of a scandal anil a disgrace.

THE OPERATION FAD
WHEN something hurt our well known dads, the doe pre
scribed his pills, or liniments, or liver pads, or compound
juice of squills; but now he'd take his saw or adze, to cure us of
our ills. There was some sense in being. sick in brave old days like
those, for then the tired and footsore hick in illness found re
pose; what time the doctor, summoned quick, prescribed the
proper dostr, I often sought the village doc, when I had ache or
smart, and ho would give me pills of chalk that nearly broke my
heart; but never did this healer talk of rending me apart. He
gave ten drops (if melted wax much, virtue in it lies; and stuff
thai tastes like carpet tacks, and pills of giant size; but never did
he shake an axe before my shrinking eyes. But now when to the
doc I trot, because of ache or pain, he prods me in the tender spot,
and say that pills are vain ; he wants to lay me on a cot and spiit
my form in twain. He says "Oh, thunder!" and "Oh, pshaw!"
when I old methods name; he says there ought to be a law against
that ancient game, he wants to take his cross cut saw, and push it
through my frame. I have about n hundred ills and cannot have
them healed, because, while I will swallow pills, I won't be sliced
or peeled; I won't be cured of mumps or chills by tools the sur
geons wield. ' . ,.
perity of fellow Americans -of whom
they know very little the residents of
the five Central American republics
which have lately been discussing the
formation of a sort of 'United States of
Central America,' " says a bulletin Is
sued 'by the National Geographic society.
"Central America Illustrates strik
ingly the effects of geographic factors
on a region's development," continues
the bulletin. "All the five republics
lie on the relatively narrow isthmus
between the narrow ribbon of Panama
on the south and Mexico on the north.
The Spanish settlements made soon
after the discovery of America were
all on tho Pacific side of the Isthmus,
for the most part on the plateaus and
mountain slopes and in the mountain
valleys of that region, which temper
an otherwise tropical climate. Prac
tically the entire Atlantic side of the
isthmus was a low plain, covered with
a dense tropleal jungle. This acted as
a great 'Chinese Wall' erected by na
ture whjc hdiscouraged or actually cut
off Intercourse with the Atlantic coast
and turned the feces of all the coun
tries toward the Pacific.
solated Both by Nature and Man
Tho Isolation started by nature was
turies Is a chronicle of? engineering
achievement in the outside world and
a romance of horticulture In the Isth
mus Itself. With the settlement of the
Pacific coast of the United States, the
building of the Panama railroad, and
later the construction of a trans-Mexican
railway, the Panama anal, and
railwys across Guatemala and, Costa
Hica, Central America .' has become
easily accessible: . ' ,
"Shortly before tlie construction of
the Panama railroad coffee was Intro
duced into Central America from the
West Indies and was found to grow to
perfection in the laval soil on the
slopes of the volcanic mountains along
the Pacific coast of most of the re
gion. Coffee soon became an export
of prime lmKrtance and has brought
much money Into Central America.
The acquisition of a higher standard of
living in the four republics in which
conditions are favorable for coffee
culture is directly traceable to the
little green bean.
Where the Banana Comes in
"The remainder of Central Amer
ica's horticultural romance has as its
motif, the banana. In order that the
great American hunger for that slen
der golden fruit might be appeased,
continued by the colonial policy of the. large fruit growhig and distributing
Spaniards, who for three ' hundred ''corporations from the United States
years permitted the Central American acquired extensive tracts of land in
settlers to trade only with the mother .the Atlantic plain, reclaimed it from
country and greatly restricted even , the jungle, and planted great banana
that commerce. -The various groups of groves which produce millions of
He'tlemouts which finally becume the
five republics of tortuy auateiniila,
Salvador,, Honduras, Nicaragua., and
Costa Rica were also effectively sep
arated front each other by the moun
tainous nature of the country 'and tho
lack of means of communication.
At the time of the throwing off of
the Spanish yoke In 1821, therefore,
Central America was made up of a
group of communities of rather prim
itive development scattered along the
Pacific ocean. The settlements were
as effectively cut off from the United
States as If they had been many thou
sands of miles away Instead of being
bunches of bananas, yearly.
''The by-products ot this develop
ment have been as valuable to Central
America as tho money that has flowed
directly to laborers and to the govern
ment. Important cities have sprung
up along the Atlantic const, railroads
have been built, and what is probably
most important of all, lines of fast,
well-equipped steamers, carrying both
passengers and freight have . been
established between the Atlantic ports
and those of the United States. In ef
fect the banana has shifted Central
America thousands of miles closer to
the outside world."

Col. and Mrs. H. H. Sargent of Jacksonville were the first contributors to
the Child Feeding fund whtch the Mail Tribune launched Saturday, January
8th. Col. Sargent wrote out ' his check Immediately after he read
the appeal In the paper, and mailed tlfe same Saturday evening. Monday
morning early, however, the contributions started to arrive and In a short
time the $100 total was reached and then passed, the total amount Monday
night being $133. This means saving the lives of over a dozen children In
far off Europe and is certainly an excellent beginning. Moreover practically
all the contributions were voluntary, which gives some Indication of the
interest In this worthy cause, for everyone knows that where dollars can be
raised by personal solicitation, cents only can be raised by publicity, It Is
so easy for people to read an appeal, commend It, and then forget all about It.
Another gratifying feature of the campaign are the large number of conv
trlbutlons, both small and large, many readers of the Tribune taking thev
trouble to come to this office to give what they can afford. One elderly man,
quite lame, took the trouble to walk to this office, and hand In a contribu
tion, and In reply to thanks said, "Don't thank me. I had a grandson In
Europe for 16 months and I know something about the suffering all .over.
