THE OREGON CITY COURIER, WHICH IS A LABOR PAPER, GETS BACK
TO COMMON SENSE, AND CONSIDERS WHAT THAT TOWN
WOULD BE WITHOUT ITS INDUSTRIES. .
It's human nature to look with envy !
at the man up at the top of the lad''
dor, and It comes just as natural as
chicken pox and measles come to the
small boy.
The farmer who, Is coming to town
behind a pair of slow plow horses and
with a load of produce, has to grit his
teeth tome as he swallows the dust of
the big touring car that whizzes by.
And he naturally thinks there Is cer
tainly something wrong with the
equalization committee when he has
to sit on a board seat and pound the
ponies on the back, while the auto
owner sits on (he cushions and tells
the driver where to take him.
The office holder, who wears
starched shirts and has a clean shave
every other day sticks In the crop of
the man who has to go to his office
to transact business. He enn't under,
stand why he should have' to work
hard every day, while this- man sits
In his office and wears white cuffs.
And so It goes.
The othor night three men were
standing on the bluff looking at the
lights of the big factories bolow, when
one of them said:
"Whllo the bosses are sleeping the
workmen make them, millionaires."
This man gave no farther consider
ation than the fact that theBe "bosses"
were getting rich.
This man was evidently a laboring
man In the mills, and I wanted to ask
him why he worked there, and If he
wasn't mighty glad to hove a Job
there, what he would do If there were
no mills to give him a job, and how
much his house and lot would be
worth If there wore no mills in Ore
gon City. .
We can't all be mill owners for oth.
erwlse there would be no mill workers.
We can't all be mill workers, for then
there would be no mills or mill owners
From the soft conl digger's assistant
In the mines of Pennsylvania up to
the assistant goneral managers of our
greatest trusts there are steps and
there always will be steps until the
dreams of our dreamers come truo,
It Is so natural for us nil to look up
at the tall chimneys of the big fac
tories and question the right of men
to own them, ami to make tlie state
ments that the rich men mako the
money and the poor men pay the tuxes.
Rut If any man In Oregon City who
owns a foot of land nr'dollar's worth
' of property will sit down and have a
few solid thinks, he will have to ad
mit that the big factories are doing
alxml as much for him as he Is for the
Far Western Reflections on Some
of the Latest Fiction.

us think the author must have been

Oregon CltyVV'""'
Take the labor-employing mills out
of this city and there Isn't a house in
the city would be worth half the cost
of the lumber In the house. It would
be worth only the price of demand,
and there would be no demand. The
people would leave, as there would be
no means of getting a living. The vil
lage lost In tht sclty would not be
worth the same price as so much farm
land, for the reason there would be
no one to farm so small pieces.
If there were no mills or factories
In this city the business places on
Main street, which now have wonder
ful location values would not be worth
the values of the sidewalks In front
of them, for the one best reason In
the world that there would be no de
mand for them, no one wuold buy
them, or want to occupy them, and
their value wrecked and the material
drawn away would be greater than
any other value. .A little far-fetched,
perhaps, and a very Improbable situa
tion, but solid reasoning just the same.
On the court house steps not long
ago I heard a man (a business man,
I am sorry to sny) smarting under
the high tax he had just paid, make
the remark that If the ten-mllllon dol
lar factories had to pay their just
taxes his would not be so high.
Tomorrow, If you would go to this
same man with a petition to exempt
from all taxation a new factory that
would come here and employ five hua
dred men, he would be one of the first
men to Blgn It, and every man that
owned a foot of land or had the future
good of this cljy at heart would also,
sign It, and be tickled to death to do
it, for the reason that paying this In
dustry's taxes for them would be a
good Investment for them, their prop
erty and their business would increase
fnr nioro than the value of the tRxes
and It would be really getting three
dollars back for one Invested.
Factories should be compelled to
piny fair with workmen. On this point
tho Courier will ever be with the wage
earnor. Put at. the same time work
men, business men, proporty owners
and the city Itself should give the big
mills a heap more credit and hnve'for
them a lot more charity than they do.
And the next time, just before you
got your hammer swinging and begin
to knock the Industries thnt make Ore

a little and you won't use your

The duel between the llttlo clrcus

could bear the pain. Several physicians did not
do me any good, but I could see good results soon
after beginning with Ilood's Sarsaparilla. "When
I had taken four bottles I could go about easily,
free from all lameness. I am full of thanks for
what Ilood's Sarsaparilla has done for me, and I
take it occasionally now to prevent return of my

everyone who has rheumatism to take Ilood's."

In the form of literature. The pub

Mrs. Alexander seems to be a first

visits from a harmless doddering old
college professor who Is a psycholo
gist. Hut Alexander goes on regular
trips to London, where he spends much
time on the successful actress Hilda.
They were former loverB, but Alex

his Ideals, but left a vacancy In IiIb
heart, and two women were necessary
to fill that rather roomy and elastic
receptacle of emotions and trouble

"A Hoosier Chronicle," by Meredith
Nicholson is an Indiana booh. But It
Is attenuated Indiana. It Is said Ken

Ulley's minor poems than In those six
hundred and odd pages. It Is a big
book for $1.40 net, good paper and
nice, large, easy-read type. But lis
political ''mlse en scene" belongs to
a pnst generation., Its plot had better
have been omitted, its love-making Is
nnatural, and none of Its characters
are worth while except Mrs. Sally
Owen. She Is worthy to be put Into a
book all by herself. Her sayings and
opinions aro worth while. She has
originality and humor. But the "hs
ejnculated" style of stllteM composi
tion Is abominable for a modern writer
like Nicholson. The book has this ex
ciise It Is clean and harmless. There
are millions of readers who have
"oodles" of time that Is of no value
and must be put In. They must have
hooks to rend and they spend their
time and their money on them, and
they might spend It nioro foolishly
