THE D AILY JOURNAL, 8ALEM, OREGON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 23, 1902. "HOT BAKED" ATMOSPHERE Is What the Masses Get From the Politicians Young Republican" Discusses the Oregon Timber Lana rrauas without uioyes And Shows That the Young Men of the Nation Must Apply the Remedy for All Existing Evils The Jouinnl has recently called at- luntlon to some gigantic frauds being porpptinted upon tho people under the laws governing the timber lands of tho state of OroKon. These frauds are more gigantic and far-reaching than Is commonly suspected, but the people are so selfish, as a whole, that they never stop to think or remedying the matter, unless the matter concerns them directly. Most of human hind do not cnie whether their neighbor Is be ing defiauded or not. so long as they leel that they are not being swindled themselves Tills selfishness is a rath er expensive luxury, ns the good peo ple will learn Home day, perhaps when too late. They are something of tho haracter of the people In the days of Columbus. It took thnt brave naviga tor 18 years to get the people of his country let him discover America. As he took every available opportunity to forward his enterprise, the people used every opportunity to defeat his plans and schemes. And in tho face of very good ovidonco the people worked against him. for It was well known that among his collections he had pieces of wood, vegetation and other evidences which must have lloat ed fioin an another unknown country. The discovery of two bodies of dark skinned men on tho shore added to the weight of the argument of Co lumbus, that there must he land where these men and other evidences drifted from, hi the face of this Columbus had to wait for IS years bofoie the royalty could be Induced to offer hint the necessary aid. The people of Oregon are. relatively occupying tho same position ni were the people In l-IIHi. Wo see the evl deuce of fraud, w. hear of the corpora tlons reaching cut and taking millions of acres, we have not. a yet. been per ceptibly affected by It nil. lnmu we are Inclined to pius It by. until we llml where we are being deprived, then we will begin to wake up. We hnvt better evidence than Columb.is hai when he discovered Aineiltu. but. l( suppose, the man who points out these facts, facts of such vital Impmtuncc to every man. woman nnd child In Ore gon, will have to climb upi:n a fenci and sit and wait for the paoplo to le him save them from impending lulu When the pooplo begin to dud nut what is going on, they will make a loud noise in their own behalf. It will In "noise," hoc mist the work will havr been done by that time, and all t lit talking ami gesticulating tllH people can do will he inked Into the corral, mu) some nice. big. fat corporation tie In tlmbersky will hnve their ngonts prest tlit same Into siiinll-sl.od bricks, label them "Maked Atmosphere (by the peo pie i" nnd lay them upon the shelf Ir tlie Imsement to dry and keep cool. Now Is the time to talk. Now is the time to gesticulate. As St. Paul said "Now is the day of salvation." lit may not hnve been referring to tlm her land finuds, hut 1 am. And now Is the day. If the people ever export nny salvation from the land dealt which are surely nnd quietly taklnf the valuable timber from the hands ol the commonwealth, and placing It li the hands of timber concerns or rail road companies How Is it done? It Is as simply done J as It is a simple matter to answer tht question of "How.". Flist of all I charge the blame to the fact that tht iwople have no say whatever, nndei the law, or under anything else. Thej are tied hand and toot, anil sit by. mm the timber workers hnve every free dom to get what they wnnt. Laugh now, but with direct nomination h) tne people we would soon have a sto to this sort of thing. Instead or tht explanations being tendered to tin corporation, when the puople hav been victorious. It would be explana tlons are in order to the "people,' when the corporations have been vie torlous. Under the present imrty methods those In command or the situation are not required by the "people" to ex plain how this coritoration or that cor oration tame into ikhwwwIoii of a million acres of the best land In Ore gon, which is palpably an open detrl ment to the people, and not within the meaning of the law. Such high-handed work, under direct nomination, in which the common people will have some say. will be Immediately met. and when the "constituents" ask foi an explanation, It will very likely be forthcoming. There will be lew play to the tornoratlnn ami n nm .-.. ., the rube onimon farmer, hayseed and When the ueoale have tho nnw. er then the smiling and kubgioveg politician "1 Pay some respect tc them a whi as tbotr wish. u &f honeet. hornvhajM-j ..... .

I pie ana juk nini - , w, ,mp H9U him how U came about that some railroad company just secured ownership to nil the best railroad hind In thnt part of the coun try, and If It Is right, and what would tho horny-handed man get? He would be told no explanations were due him, and If ho Is looking for In formation the government run a "bureau" for Just such cases. Indeed he would he fortunate If he didn't fare as tud Private Geo. W. Peck, when he was putting down the Rebellion. He entered the general's tent to explain what was the next nee jssary move for the army to mnke In jrder to clean out the whole Southern Confederacy. When the general got through with Private Peck, Peck do-T elded that the general, the army, nnd tho whole country could go to thun der (wherever thnt was) for all he cared. So the horny-handed son of tho soil could thank his lucky stars If he got out with anything except his vote. Of course, they wouldn't take that, Just then. Tho "forest reserve" Is the latest thing atti acting attention In tho timber line. In n few years, nt the present rate. Oregon will be a collection of reserves," and will be so thoroughly "reserved" that the proprietors will simply prefix that little thing called "pre," and then we will be known way hack Hast aH a new country. Under this "reserve" system can be opeiated the most damnable frauds, and the people robbed, pure nnd sim ple, out or their great and resourceful stnte, of which they have been Justly ,)ioud. All this can he done "legally," M far as technicality Is concerned, but morally or In accordance with tho In tention or the law, NI3VI5H. There will be ti day of reckoning with the common people." Tho day or reck ,nlng is now an Incident In the lire it a corporation, but Inter It will be an vent In the history of the people of )regon It Is not right for millions of acres f the richest lands in the stnte to be -ontrollod by a corporation. It Is not he Intention of tho Inw thnt It should ie so owned. Through technical ad ministration or those in power, those .vho represent the people In these mnt ers, tho corporations have now se ined control or nil the available tlm er nnd the bulk or the timber lands n Oregon. This would nevor hnve mppouod had the representatives ol .he people Insisted upon the primary Ights of the people. This cpiestlon Is low before the people, it Is an lm lortant one. To Illustrate the "forost reserve" practice, wo will say a corporation. throuh one of Its agents, selects n -arge strip or torrltory or rocks, sands, iiiythlug but good land. Tho poorer the land the bettor. Generally It will be a mountainous selection. The cor )0i at Ion thou secures sottlers to go )n those bnrreu hills and prove up on .hem. After proof has boon ninde .he corporation or lompnny. will hnve i piece of land llftoon or twenty miles by forty or fifty miles long (tho jlnlms having boon signed over to It y these settlers) and composed ot lothing but rocks anil probably some jrush, second or third growth timber. Having possession of this laud the - ompany Is ready to begin "business.1 silence follows here. Next thing vo know tho government has "cro itod" a "roservo" In a certain section I f the count i y. and It will he found to lover this land. Well, of courso. arter .ho government has so bomeanod It iolf to take this land away from one jf our modern enterprises, without Its consent," It becomes Incumbent upon ne government to reimburse these oniMUiles. To pay them back for Ahnt they have spent In settling up lie government's country. In short, o be fair with its subjects, else they night go somewhere else to live. In lettllng with these companies the gov irument Issues to them whnt is termed script." This Is worth at the least onsideration 14.50 an acre. This "script" Is a certificate from the gov irnment and will ontltle these eotnpa lies or the holders to select and other amis In the whole country. In lieu of hose the government so iinceremonl jiisly "took away from them" In onler o have another "reserve" which the date was famishing for. and without vhlch it might be expected the people vault! declare cocesalon. The gov rnment stands, you see, between two Ires. Tho people must have "re .erves' and the roritorations ami rail oad comitanles must have home iteads' You can understand why, A-hen you once understand that rail -oad companies mum. have people liv ng in this country else no owe would m there to ride on the cars. The com any wants the lands settled up to get more car fare; but then the people are stubborn and want "reserves ' With "script" worth from ?4.B0 an acre and upwards, and tho whole of creation, or so much thereof as the government can give a deed to, wait ing to bo gobbled up, the holders file on the best lands and thus the Individ unl Is sncrlflced for the corporate method. If I had a couple or weeks off. Instend of going to the beach and looking nt the ocean, which doesn't cost us anything, yet I should flguro up this acreage and the timber thnt have been nbsornod in this mnnnor. It will run well Into the millions or acres and billions or feet of lumber. Now. thnt this is the method, It Is going to bo pushed to Its extreme. Whnt are the people going to do with those who sold them out? As I snld before, tho legal aspect may be suf ficient for some to base their actions upon, but will thnt reckon with the people? The legnl aspect snys "the p-ople bo damned." What If the peo ple should say "the corporation lie damned?" The corporation smiles nt this, nnd thinks or tho Dutchman who ordered his mnn Jakey to "tie the dog loose." Hut under the present methods who wouldn't smile nt the people? How could a corporation rest more secure? More tree tram nny accounting to the commonwealth? Hut, the present methods are going to be changed. The young ltepubllcan Is going to do It. He Is going to rejuvlnnte this tax ridden nnd plundered government of ours, into a nation for the people or that nation. When thnt day dawns the voice or the people will bo hoard rar above the roars or the doomed combines, nnd nil will be settled "In a twinkling or an eye." The people or the state must nrlse to protect their own. Under direct nomination nil will be changed. Suppose the people living In tho community or Similiter, Orogon. nre ngnlnst this new "reserve" proposi tion now being perpetrated upon them. whnt good will It nil do? Will their voice be heard? The mines may be wrecked, but wo must have more "re serves;" then more script, thou more choice timber lands selected and re sold to the Eastern people coming west. Script Is now ns scarce as oysters In church sociable soup. Washington snld tunny great things. Lincoln did, too. Mnny other great men snld great things, and 1 wnnt to go on record tor saying one greet thing myself, and It is this: "That, under the present political stnndnrd, till this government Is for, nnd main tallied for. Is to he robbed and plun dered. Thnt .s what It Is for." When the young man lends with the banner of 'direct nomination." the people or Similiter will be heard. Tho pooplo or all Orogon will be heard. The lauds will be owned by the people as It Is Intended they should. It will erase that disgraceful farce carried on in tne government Innd olllces whore u poor lone sciuntter Is contested to the hilt by the claim he didn't improve his land sulllclently. that he didn't stny on It long enough, etc.. ad lib., nnd ad absurd, nnd while lighting over a pioc of ground or 1(!0 acros, a rail road compnny nt the othor wicket Is loading Its nrniH with certificates for mlH'ons of acres. Or course the farce is under the law, hut the moral sense of right nauseates when It sees such inconsistent nnd partial practice. Tills will all stop under direct nomi nation. In no other way will the peo ple ever secure their rights. The prtHi-nt method has had the opportu nity, hut failed to uso it. The people will hnve the next opportunity, under the new method.

The much abused suburbanites, whom the cartoonists picture as com ing to tho city every morning from "Lonosoniohurst," "Lost Man's Lane," "Prtiiioliurst-by-tho-TrolIey" and otlicr plnccs with equally suggcstlvo names, arc un Interesting class of Individ uals. Tlie transient clement of the city's population spends several hours every day whirling over the railroads. When the novelty of these dally bits of railroading has passed Into the monotony of years of trau'l through the same country the commuter has learned to make the best of the time tie spends on the train. The "card flnnd" Is a prominent fig ure In this class, ltnth morning and evening four or live games of cards nre going on In every smoking car, mid It Is safe to say that thousands of dol lars change hands In this "Innocent amusement" while the pluyem are hur rying to or from business. Next to the "card sharp" Is the mnn who only enjoys Ids cigar mid paper, lie Is oblivious to all his surround lugs nnd only shows animation when be Is nt his Journey's cud. Many of the policies and plans of some of this city's most successful business men have been born or de veloped ou these tralni. Tlie short respite between the bustle of the city mid the cares of home life Is to thin type of man u season for meditation. Another Interesting commuter Is the Individual who Is on good terms with all his fellows. He travels up mid down through tho car exercising his repertory of latest Jokes or sympa thizing with some gloomy looking friend who thinks that all the world Is against him, lie seems to never grow weary In his well doing. The train life of the commuter Is now anil then enlivened by wrecks. Though tossed about nnd Miiiictline cut uud bruised, he generally escaped sitIouh Injury.

There Is n isileno.s about tho yellow of the H) mid 1.0 franc pieces which boar tho ufllgles of Napoleon I nnd Louis XVIII that Is not observed la the goldplcccM of later mintage. One admirer of these coins speaks of their color as a "beautiful paleness" and ex presses regret Unit It Is lacking In later coin.. The explanation if It Is very simple. The alloy that entered Into the French gold coins of thtwe days con- l tallied us much silver as copper, ami It ' was the silver that gave the coins their ' Interesting luilenet-s. I The coins of the em of NhhiImjii III i were more golden In hue. The silver I had been ?ken out of the alloy. The go I coins of today have a still winner mid tlweper tinge of yellow. !
