MODERN IM M IG R ATIO N MORE
T H A N COVERED W AG O N D AYS—
OVERED wagons and the early day pio
C
neers, as they fought their way toward Ore
gon territory in search o f opportunity, has been
the subject for much poetry, prose and drama.
These stout-hearted folks appeal to the imagin
ation and their exploits are rightfully honored.
To most persons, the covered wagon days are
over, but now comes authentic information that
modern immigration into rural districts of Ore
gon is even greater than the westward movement
in 1850. •
This research project was recently completed
and covers the years from January 1933 to June
1936, and hence does not include the major shift
that has occured as a result of this season’s mid-
western drought. During the period studied,
there were 5130 families came into the state and
settled in what the U.S. census classifies as rural
territory, which is the country and all cities be
low 5,000 population. This means that the rate of
rural immigration has been approximately 1500
families a year, or an annual increase greater
than the total number of farms in the state in
1850.
The Willamette vallev is receiving almost half
of the new families, tne report estimate being
48 per cent. The five .eastern counties, including
Malheur, received 12.2 per cent.
More than half of the immigrants for the
period studied came from western states, while
the central United States contributed approxi
mately a third. Last year the Oregon State Col
lege at Corvallis published a pamphlet entitled,
“ Suggestions to Prospective Settlers in Ore
gon,” which is still available for free distribu
tion. It describes the type o f farming conducted
in the various parts o f the state and gives other
preliminary information designed to help new
comers.

THE BEST DEFENSE
IS A GOOD OFFENSE—
MEASURE to be on the ballot this coming
election has to do with compulsory military
training in schools and colleges. There is a move
ment to do away with compulsory training, and
many organizations, including the American
Legion, are fighting to keep this training in the
schools of Oregon.
A
By keeping this training in the schools, they
are not trying to promote war. The men who
fought in the late World W ar have seen too
much of the horrors of war to ever want to go
through that again. Rather they are trying to
prevent war, by building a large peace-time
civilian army, who have had some military train
ing and are quickly available in time of trouble.
Here is the way this works. Every nation, re-
ardless of what they would like to do, must
ave an army. This is fundamental, and no prac
tical person will deny it. A nation must have
protection, not only with an army, but an effic
ient navy and air corps. A nation must be pre
pared to protect herself or be wiped o ff the map
by a more aggressive nation.
f
Without a semi-trained civilian army, a nation
must have a large standing army; which of
course is costly and to the average person, an im
personal matter. Nations which no not have a
trained civilian reserve but do have a large
standing army, are the nations continually get
ting in trouble. At every slight or injury, real or
01
fancy, the reaction is, “ Send the army after
them.”

Not so when you and I and your neighbor are
members of the reserve corps and subject to call
at time of war. You and I and our neighbors are
anxious to settle the matter by conciliation; not
by amis. W e don’t want to go to war. Our coun
t s is safest with national defense in the hands
o f civilians, who are not professional soldiers
and who are trained in our schools and colleges.
Their training leaves no romantic notions of
war. W e feel it would be a mistake to abolish
compulsoiy military’ training in the schools and
colleges of Oregon.
