Little Stocks' Had Wings. 1 110 OMnnC
Why Farmers Farm. II I 1 1 l
(Copyright, 1927, by New York
Evening Journal. Inc.)
Four prohibition nsreiits in
'L'Ktiguting Xrw York spcuk
tcusics ami va burets spent $73,
000 hi u short time.
They padlocked a few insti
tutions, just as the old lady
"".siieeeeded in mopping up a few
pailsful of the ocean.
For ciiumpugne the agents
paid $42 a bottle, for ginger
ale $1.75. Even at that price,
they must have been thirsty.
They took their wives along.
I'crhaps the ladies drank the
ginger ale.
Taxpayers lllllst understand
that you can't spend an even
ing at Texas Guinau's for noth
'in. Alt Wail Street's little stocks
had wings yesterday, or nearly
all. They flew up joyously,
undismayed by dear money.
It's all very well to put up
interest rates in Wull Street
but that brings in money lend
ers from the Middle West and
Kuropc, eager to get the 7 and
' 8 per cent.
As sea gulls fly inland to
gobble up field mice, destroy
ing pastures a thousand miles
from the ocean, so distant
money lenders flock to Wall
Street and spoil the game of
the ''big boys."
AVall Street believes that
Hoover is elected already and
yesterday bet ;IJ2 to 1 on the
lfepubliean leader.
Wall Street is mistaken oc
casionally. It was betting 4 to
1 against Woodrow Wilson,
after Wilson was actually
elected. The odds will change
b c Co re November.
Hussia names a dictator, with
absolute power over crops, their
production and distribution.
Our farmers will walcb that
experiment for the benefit of
producer and consumer, but
will not want any crop dicta
torship here.
The tiling that reconciles a
' farmer to his lot is the fact that
he is his own boss.
, Tell him that others 'must de
cide what he shall plant, what
price he shall ask. and he will
join the crowd to the cities.
Men do not farm merely for
profit. They farm because land
ownership and management,
phis independence, gives them
intense pleasure. If profit were
the only inducement, there
would be no farmers.
The rush of money almosl
swamped the big telephone and
telegraph company Wednes
day. Stockholders, eager to
buy more stock, paid in $bV
IHIO.IXMJ in a few hours.
The company, having taken
in $101 1.000.000 of new money,
is now the biggest privately
owned company in the world.
A. and T. T. has usscts ot three
und a half billion dollars. Con
sidering its monopoly of telephone
ownership in the United States,
you know- thai Its potential value
runs tar above ten billions.
And a little while aso L'nclo Sam
was prosecuting poor Mama Stand
ard Oil because she was climbing
toward one liftle billion.
- All la for the best, however. In
the best possible of worlds. S. O.
'is now worth several times what i
It was previous to the prosecution, j

From the position Riven it is j

The w ea t h e r a mn g the coast

Oregon Legion Praised j
Secretary McCracken. in his ad
dress, complimented tho depart
ment of Oregon for Hh IntoroKt
in behalf of aviation. Public sup
port of the air mall whh hold "most
vital and important" by him. "It is
more necessary than thn duvelop
mont of commercial aviation, or tho
markings of towns," ho declared.
HecroUiry McCracken, in closing,
quoted from Tennyson's "Lorkslcy
Hall," and held that world peace,
wits in tho air.
Congressman W. C. Iliiwloy and
Congressman Franklin Korrcll nnd
I'tilted Slates Senator Frederick
W. Steiwer also addressed tho con
vention. Congressman Hawloy re
viewed tho work of tho last con
gres8 In behalf of veterans' legis
lation, und deplored tho growing
tnndency of AmnrlcmiH to Ignore
their right to volo. "At thn most
important elections," ho suit), "loss
than half of tho voters Itnvo taken
the trouble lo no to tho polls. We
have elected presidents with less
thun fill per cent of the voters ex
orcising I heir right." The congrosB
man held this "was a role of tho
minority."
Congressman Korretl praised the
efforlH of Secreary of State Kellogg
to secure signatories to the out
lawry of war treaties, but main
tained that "public opinion" wan
the final and deciding factor. The
solon argued against "placing ot
too much reliance in treaties, ns
history has sadly shown." Ho fur
ther declared that the Monroe doc
trine was still In full force and
effort. Me urged all Legion mem
bers to "think lu terms of peace
rather than In terms of war."
Senator Frederick Steiwer, tn a
short talk, said: "I am a fundamen
talist hi government, and am op
posed to any long-haired men usln
AnH'tira us a laboratory for ex
periments and Isms. Tho basic
principles laid down by the colo
nial fathers arc good enough tor
iP4 today," ho declared.
It. (I. Calvert, editor of tho Port
land Oregoiilan, declared "there i
a growing tendency In the press
of the state to view as sound and
practical the vIowh of the l-oglon,
ami to back them In the editorial
columns."
All of the congressional delega
tion present told of their work in
behalf of Legion legislation and a
