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,
