R D. R. s Trip 'Disappointing'
PRACTICALLY all value depend upon what is expected. If
you expect a dull evening and have a very pleasant one,
your consequent pleasure is far greater than if you had expect
ed a pleasant evening and that is what you received. Conversely
if you expect a pleasant evening and it proves to be a tiresome
one, your boredom far exceeds, what it would have been, if
the "sights" of your expectations had not been placed so high.
Which is only another way of saying all values are relative.
WHEN President Eoosevelt started on this western trip,
th cpnprjil Tnpp.tjitinn wfls. hp nlannprl to ita to the
people on hia Supreme Court proposal, and incidentally teRt
out public sentiment, retarding the Black appointment. Both
an elucidation and a defense of his desire to bring the Supreme
Court into step with the march of social and economic progress,
was looked for, and the building of a few fires under the feet
of those western senators who opposed the administration's
proposal, was anticipated
Nothing of the sort transpired. The president has said
nothing, directly or indirectly, regarding the Supreme Court.
and at least two western senators, Borah of Idaho and McNary
or Oregon, who voted against the Supreme Court plan, were
treated with every consideration and respect. An effort has
been made to build up the somewhat oool reception tendered
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, into a "slap in the face," but
the effort hasn't gotten very far, as yet.
N other words President Roosevelt has again done the un-
expected, and as a result, hia swing around the circle, has
to date been a public disappointment. The people, and particu
larly the newspaper writers, expected, a good show with plenty
of fireworks, and 'iave only received a few impromptu talks
and one prepared address, of a miner routine nature, which
hag left them out on a limb, so to speak, grasping vainly for
something to write about.
NEVERTHELESS, in hia remarks thus far, and particularly
in his prepared address at Bonneville yesterday, the presi
dent had some interesting and important things to say. Had
expectations of hot copy and "fighting words," not been what
they were, the morning papers today, would probably not
have been as they are, so devoid of pertinent comment.
There was the president's contribution to the advocates of
rugged individualism for example.
Soma of my frtanda who talk gllnlj of the right of an; Indi
vidual to do anything he wants with any of hia property take
the point of vtew that It la not the concern of federal or state
or local government to Interfere with what they miscall "the
liberty of the Individual."
With them I do not agree and never have agreed because,
unlike them, I am thinking of the future of the United State..
My conception of liberty does not permit an Individual citizen
or group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against
nature In such way as to harm their neighbors, and especially
to barm tne future generations of Americana. If, many years
'ago, we had had the necessary knowledge and especially the
necessary willingness on the part of the federal government
to act on It, we would have eaved a sum which, In the last few
years, has cost the taxpaysrs of the the nation at least two
billion dollars.
That is an excellent definition of what individual liberty
should be, in complex and rapidly developing democratic.
Htate, and presents the ease for conservation of natural re
sources, and intelligent planning for the future, m extremely
effective fashion.
THIS column was also interested in what the president had
in an v nhnut hp poncpntral ion nf this conntrv's population
in large cities, at the expense of the suburban and rural areas.
No one could spend a month in Greater New York, as the
present writer recently has. and not be impressed by the fact
that piling millions and millions of human beings, one on top
of the other, so to upeak, on a tiny island or anywhere else,
is neither socially nor economically desirable.
New York is an amazing and thrilling place, but it just i
nORSM'T MAKE SENSE. We rlonht if manv thoiiL'litfnl I
people, with a sane and rational perspective, can remain long
in that essentially theatrical Babylon, and escape the conclusion
that it is a great show, but it can not and will not Inst.
Those millions of people will eventually, work out for them
selves a more normal, healthful and satisfying mode of life.
The President believes the government should assist them
in doing so. We quota:
An over-lsrge city Inevitably meet problems caused by
overatu. Real estate values and rent become too high: the
time consumed In going from one's home to one's work and
back again beoomea excessive; congestion of streets and other
transportation problems arise: truck gardena disappear because
the backyard ta too small; the coat of living of the average
family rises far too high.
There la doubtless a reasonable balance In all of this and
It la a balance which ought to be given more and more atudy.
No one would suggest, for exsmple. that the great cltlea of
Portland and Tacoma and Seattle and Spokane should stop
their growth, but It Is a fact that they could grow unhealthily
at the expense of all the .mailer communities of which they
form logical centera.
Their healthleat growth actually depends on a slmultsneous
healthy growth of every smaller community within a radioua of
hundreds of miles.
Your situation In the northwest Is In this respect no differ
ent from the situation In the other great regions of the nation.
That la why It has been proposed In the congress that regional
planning boards be set up for the purpose of co-ordinstlng
the planning for the future In seven or eight natural geo- .
grahical regions.
You will hare read here as elsewhere many mlslesdlng snd
utterly untrue statement In somo pspers and by some poll
Uclans thst this proposed legislation would set up all-powerful
authorities which would destroy state llnea, take away local
government and make what people call a totsliurisn or
authoritarian or some other kind of a dangerous national cen
tralized control.
Moat people realise that the exact opposite Is the truth
that regional commissions will be far more closely in touch
with the needa of all the Icvalltlsa and all the people In their
respective regions than a system of plans which originates In
the capital of the nation.
That, we maintain, is good counsel and good sense.
In fact the entire Bonneville address. Is well worth reading
and thouvhtful consideration. It is of special importance to
the West, and to a state liko Oregon, where the growth and
development of one metropolis like Portland, has been out of
all proportion, .md tt the expense of the rest of the state.
But we fail to find any editorial comment upon either of
these portions of the address, in the morning press. A few
genernlitiea about Bonneville pointing to the "path of progress
and prosperity," on one hand; and somewhat sarcastic comment
upon an entirely incidental remark in the speech that by the
next fiscal year the president expects be budget to be balanced,
on the other,- that's all we have been able to discover to date
If fireworki had not been expected, if the ireseutation of
lively and eontroveraial issues had not been looked for, we
are quite sure the newspaper reaction, to the Bonneville speech
and the talks preceding it, would have been very different.
PIXALLY although the president's tour, has from a news-
paper standpoint been decidedly a flop to date, in the
opinion of this column the president has again demonstrated,
that when it comes to' political psychology, he simply has a
seventh sense.
The newspapers and the general publio feel decidedly let
down, because their Chief Executive, did not do the expected
and feed the animals some raw meat. But in refusing to do
so, in confining himself to issues of an impersonal and non
controversial nature, while allowing the political atmosphere
to clear somewhat, Franklin D. again demonstrated, that when
it comes to the strategy of practical politics, he is still several
hop-step-and-jumps ahead of his nearest opponent.
They may get him yet. But it's hard to catch a man who
practically never does, what his enemies expect.

CALIFORNIA, of course, because of
the discovery of gold In 1849, was
the center of ths Pacific Coast uni
verse In 1894. But Oregon waa com
ing along.
It Is ststed, for example, that
"within ths past 13 months changes
of great Importance have taken place
In Oregon. Perhaps no single year
sines the first settlement of the coun
try has witnessed events so influ
ential upon the destiny of ths state."
Within these 13 months. It is as
serted, the "entire population of the
stats Is supposed to have Increased
30 per centum,"
T17HAT waa causing this boom In
Oregon?
Well, this is Interesting, too. Zt
was MINERALS for tn those days,
thanks to what had happened In
California, mining was looked upon
as about ths only worth-while source
of wealth in the west.
Southern Oregon's mines were still
going strong, and It is mentioned In
the handbook tha the nswly discov
ered gold deposits In the John Day
country were holding up unexpected
ly well, "seeming to be in no wise
diminished In ths amount of treas
ure they yield in proportion to the
number of men employed In working
them."
UT gold wasn't the only excite
ment in 1874.
Copper, "assaying from 50 to 80
per centum of pure metal," had Just
been found in the John Day country.
and the quantity of this ore was said
to be "literally inexhaustible." al
though lack of transportation for It
was looked upon as a handicap.
Extensive and rich iron mines In
the Willamette valley" were also be
ginning to attract attention, the
handbook tells us, and "iron manu
facture Is proving eminently success
ful, the Iron manufactured being of
a very superior quality."
HE copper and the Iron, unfor
tunately, didn't pan out. Ore
gon has both iron and copper, but
not in sufficient quantity to Justify
these early and rosy forecasts.

Fesr is greatest between the hours

It's a venerable trick for those in

such a caper with critics on ere of
an expensive opening, sending vltup
erous telegrams and threatening to
bar them from the theatre. Lesser
managers often followed his example.
But it gets nowhere. Newspapermen, j
worthy of the name, sre trained to
