A SIN REPEATED
(Oregon Journal)
Edward H. Harriman sinned against Oregon.
So did James J. Hill.
They marred the railroad future of this state.
Amid scenes of conflict and contest they paralleled
railroad lines up the canyon of the Deschutes. They dup
licated an investment which totaled $22,000,000.
It was an error of judgment that likewise marred
great records of great builders.
And to what purpose?
Both central Oregon lines stopped where the pro
ducing country began. One line added to the other would
have reached Klamath oi' Harney. Constant deficits in
operating the parallel lines have since forced rectifica
tion as far as possible of the Deschutes tragedy. One
line has been abandoned and dismantled. Eighty miles
of tracks today are in common use by both railroad sys
tems. They divide operating costs; they reduce deficits.
An almost identical blunder threatens now south of
end. From Odell Junction to Klamath Falls is 85 miles.
The Southern Pacific is building the Natron cut-off along
this route. The Great Northern and Northern Pacific
have determined jointly to extend the Oregon Trunk to
Klamath Falls along an old survey that for 85 miles
parallels that of the Southern Pacific.
Why again sin against Oregon? Why spend $3,
400,000 for duplicate rails that will be added to the rate
making base? Why defer opening to Klamath mills and
other industries the markets along 27.000 miles of Great
Northern and Northern Pacific lines not reached by exist
ing service from Klamath?
Why cannot the heads of these lines ngrcc upon
common use of a single line, and spend the money that
is to be used in parallel tracks on an intelligent railroad
map for the region? -
The cry all over the country is that there are too
many parallel lines, which increase every item of cost and
make rates higher and higher.
The chiefs of these lines touching central Oregon are
able and effective. Why not meet in friendly delibera
tion and build railroads, not in war but in constructive
peace .'

SOUND
(Oregon Journal)
President Coolidge is reported as opposed to a mili
tary display on Armistice day, on the theory that that
day is dedicated to peace and not to military flourishes,
military testa or thoughts of war.
There is no question of the soundness of the presi
dent's thought. Armistice day was the day the war was
ended, not started. It was the day hostilities ceased, not
commenced. It was the day when peace was declared,
not war. It was declared a holiday to commemorate the
ending of battle, the silencing of the trims (ho i-oatinn
I 'of bloodshed.
It was never intended to be a day for military ges
tures. It was not set aside to take stock of our guns, men
and munitions. It was not meant to be a day of prepara
tion for war, but a clay to be thankful for peace.
To make it a day for military gesture or evidence of
preparedness under the direction of the war department
is to subvert the purpose of the holiday and is to turn the
thoughts of the people away from peace and to war.
That is not a proper move from the standpoint of the
pffect in this country or its inte rpretation abroad.
A scientist discovers that the progeny of a single pair
of rats could in throe years infest the world if conditions
were ideal. That means plenty of filth and rubbish. Rut,
fortunately, the soap factories are still running, and we
have a clean-up campaign once a year.
