GEORGE MANSFIELD EXPLAINS THE -
STATE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAW
PAGE TEN
! To the Editor:
I have received a great many In
quiries as to whnt is being done ty
the Vortlnnd Chamber of Commerce
in firdt'T to raise the tund proponed
by them and co-operate with the
farmer organizations Jn solving the
marketing problem and developing
the reRources of the state.
As Is generally understood, the
xtnto chamber of commerce has been
doing considerable work with the
various chambers of commerce
throughout the state In a preparatory
way. But they, as well as the Oregon
state farm bureau federation, have
been waiting for the Portland cham
ber of 'commerce to raise the fund
proposed by them, and agree with
the state chamber and farm bureau
on a program of work. There has
been some criticism from '.different
quarters as to the delay In raising
this fund, but I want , to say that
tliOBO who trus crltlciso the Portland
chamber of commerce do not realize
the great difficulties In bringing
largo number of men to full agree
ment upon a plan of this magnitude,
nor do they reullzo the great progress
tnai nun been made within the Port
land chamber of commerce within
the last few months.
I wish to sny as emphatically as
possible thnt I have no doubt but
that the fund will bo raised, that the
plans will bo perfected and agreed
Uon by the Portland chamber, the
state chnmber and the farm bureau,
and that as It progresses a i closer
sympathy and understanding be
tween the organized farmer mind and
tho organized business mind will re
sult In a closer and more sympathetic
understanding of their mutunl prob
lems between tho chnmbers of com
merce that constitute tho state
chamber nnd the Portland chamber
of commerce. Few people rcnllze the
magnitude of tho task Involved In
formulating a plan for state develop
ment and orderly marketing of agri
cultural products and furm organi
zation, nnd getting it under way In
such a wiiy thut once started tho ma
chinery will function smoothly. It Is
much better to proceed slowly than
to start with an ill considered and in
complete plan of action.
After consulting the secretary of
tho stato chamber of commerce and
of tho Portland chambor - of com
merce, as ono of the first steps toward
securing unity of action, I have de
cided to osk the different chambers
of commerce situated throughout th
stato as well as the agricultural com
mlttee of tho Portland chamber of
commerce, to put themselves more
closely in touch with the organized
farmer mind, by taking out for som
of their members lifo memberships in
tho furm bureau: such, members to
be. soloctod from persons qualified
for membership fn tho farm bureau.
I have accordingly prcparod and sub'
jnltted to the Modford chambor of
commerce . the following resolution
. "Jtesolvod that- thoWedford chain
bor of commorce select from Its mem
bcrshlp t members who own and
oporuts farms and aro specially quail
fled by roason of both buslnoss an
farming experience, and toko for
them life memberships In tho farm
bureau; such members to coiiBtltuto
an agricultural committee of the
chamber of commerce. Wo believe
that this plan will result In groat good
by promotion of a better understand
ing of our mutual problems, securo
'uniform notion by tho farmer and
business mind on each problem as It
Is tukon up, and will constitute a por
mancnt machlnory through which to
secure results."
During the past threo years I have
given a groat deal of earnest study
as to how we enn solve the problem
of agricultural and state prosperity
Oregon. I am fully convinced that
wo can only Bolve 11 by nction as
united people without regard to oc-
cupntlon, creed, or political bins. Wo
must create in Oregon nn Oregon
spirit. That spirit is simply tho con
sclousness of a united people, united
in an endeavor to make their suite.
great and their peoplo prosperous.
united and happy.
I. am convinced now, as I havo
nlwaya been, that - radical and ill
considered action by tho organize
farmer ran never securo results for

him, but that he must propose a plan
so sound and well considered that
will receive the support of the ma
Jorlty of all the people of the state,
We are confronted not with th
farmer problem alone, but we are
confronted with an Oregon problem,
ana a national promem. .
"United we stand,
Divided we fall.'
The way has been clearly 'pointed
out to us. Consider what California
has done by united effort on the part
of all its people, without rofer'enco
to occupation. A contrast between
the achievements of Oregon and of
California cannot but Joe humiliating
to Oregontans. The Californlons
have co-opera Cud, In Oregon we havo
not.
In my opinion we have In Oregon
a stato with much greater natural re-
sources than California, In climate, in
scenery. In sou fertility, In every nat
ural resource, but in Oregon we are
a divided people. The farmer and
the business man do not meet as or
ganlzod bodies on a common ground
We aro torn by dissensions, and as
long as this continues, California will
go forward leaving us fnr behind. It
is so npparcnt that co-operation
tho answer to our problem that
cannot conceive how any person who
endeavors to inform himself can any
longer doubt it.
Tho Rogue Itlvcr valley Is an em
plre within and of itself. I hope that
tho Medford chamber of commerce
will tako favorable action on this
poposltlon. The state chamber of
commerce, ' tho Portland chamber of
commorce and the state farm burea
federation aro acting in perfect har-
mony.
My association with Mr. Dodson,
the manager of the Portlnnd chnm
ber, has enabled mo to gain an ac
qunintnnce with the intensity of pur
pose with which he is going about
this endeavor to build here a greater
Oregon, 11 greate.r people, and
greater agriculture.
There can be no doubt about the
sincerity and earnestness of purpose
of all parties. Within a very short
timo I nm confident that all our plans
will bo perfected and. we will have
entered upon the campaign which
to decide whether Oregon shall oc
cupy a subordinate position, whether
Portland Is to remain simply an over
grown town, or whether Portland
shall become the New York of the
Paciflo coast and Oregon the first
state of the Pacific northwest.
