SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 1925 MORE SOUTHERN PACIFIC TRICKERY In a frantic effort to bolster up a losing cause, the Southern Pacific company, with its high-priced publicity staff, is attempting to involve western Oregon in its Klamath rail battle with the Oregon Trunk. From Salem comes word that the Southern Pacific has presented a resolution to its chamber of commerce in which that organization is urged to "express its con fidence" in the Southern Pacific in its plans to develop this section of the state. This misplaced attempt of the Southern Pacific to involve other communities of Oregon was promptly repudiated by both Salem newspapers, the Capital Journal and the Oregon Statesman, both of which con demned this childish plea for sympathy in no uncertain terms. Says the Capital Journal: "There are many reasons why such a resolution should be voted down and none at all why Salem should burr her fingers pulling Southern Pacific chestnuts out of the fire. While Salem has always been friendly to the Southern Pacific and is today, and has always helped maintain the integrity of the system, the railroad is presuming too much when it seeks to involve western Oregon communities in its efforts to monopolize traffic and eliminate competition in eastern Oregon." While not so outspoken in its condemnation of the Southern Pacific tactics, yet the Oregon Statesman is equally as emphatic in urging the people of Salem to assume a "hands off" policy. It says: "This section of the state has been in and is still friend ly to the Southern Pacific but to seek to deny to the peo pie of any section of the state or to another railroad equal rights in regard to patronage is neither right nor good policy for any chamber of commerce." In view of the Southern Pacific attempt to sway Salem, it is presumed that its neatly typed resolutions will find their way to other chambers of commerce throughout the state, and we will find a few supine communities which are willing to "resolute" at the behest of the Southern Pacific until the cows come home. It will be remembered that only a few short weeks ago the Southern Pacific ridiculed the action of groups of farmers in Klamath county who adpoted resolutions urging that the Oregon Trunk be permitted tojnake its projected extension from Bend to Klamath Falls. If the farmers and citizens of Klamath county are not vitally interested in more rail development then, who, praytell, is interested? And yet the Southern Pacific decried these resolutions as misplaced sentiment and of no value. Well knowing that it 'cannot receive public endorse ment of its plans for monopoly, except from a few lum bermen whom it has under its merciless gnp, the Southern Pacific is now going far afield in its hurried efforts to procure a vote of "confidence " For many years the Southern Pacific dominated Cali fornia through its political debauchery and corruption. But even there the worm finally turned. In its present tight for rail supremacy in Central Oregon, the Southern Pacific might just as well realize now and for all time that the voice of the people demands to j heard; that bribery and coercion are a thing of the past, and that a trainload of resolutions from other communities will not help them in their efforts to throttle and stifle the development of Klamath county and Central Oregon. THE FARMER STANDS HIS GROUND In the unceasing struggle between the individual and the corporation for industrial supremacy the farmer is one of the few of the former class who are successfully standing their ground. Organized enterprise, the cor poration, the modern economic giant, has swallowed up many individual manufacturers and other producers, but the farmer has demonstrated that he is more than its equal. The idea that the farmer is a slipshod business man is a delusion, W. I. Myers, Professor of Farm Finance of Cornell University, told a group of America's leading business men attending the annual meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce of. the United States. "The American farmer," he said, "is the most effi cient food producer that the world has ever known. The decrease in the proportion of workers engaged in agri culture from 87 per cent in 1820 to 26 per cent in 1920 is a concrete expression of this efficiency. In spite of this decrease in the proportion of workers engaged in agri culture, American farmers produce enough food and clothing for the nation and a large surplus for export." This is one reason why the corporation, which has made individual enterprise a practical impossibility in many individual fields, has never been able to overcome the farmer who is mow efficient, than the large-scale jiroducor, The Life of the I j i FIRE LOSS BIG IN PAST YEAfi WASHINGTONT-',:!?r LETTER.": BJ IHAIU.KS V.

A navy, for instance, is expensive. If It's to be destroyed, first shot out of the bottle, by aircraft. It would he better to scrap it and con centrate on aircraft.
