WHAT WOULD HE DO.
Ebert Bede in Cottage Grove Sci

Ebert Bede in Cottage Grove SEN
tinel.
Our aspiring, if not inspiring,
friend, w. S. U'Ren, would be gov
ernor of the State of Oregon and has
succeeded in securing the Prohibition
nomination.
This is the same fellow who was
engaged for several years in spending
the Fels fund and in endeavoring to
foist single tax upon Oregon. He is
the author of the $500 exemption
measure which will be upon the bal
lot this fall. This measure would
give the state almost absolute single
tax.
The one hobby that Mr.. U'Ren
stands for above everything else,
above even prohibition, is single tax.
He has dedicated his life to the work
of making Oregon a single tax state.
But now he comes forth in public
statement and says that if elected
governor he would drop single tax
for period of four years.
The kindest thing that can be said
about such an offer is that 1t is made
to bribe the voters.
Let us presume that Mr.. U'Ren is
honest in his statement. What high
ideals man must have, who, for the
sake of office, agrees in advance to
| cease to advocate that to which he
has dedicated his life and that which
he believes absolutely necessary to
the happiness of the poor and down.
trodden. For the sake of office he Of
fers to cast aside his life work and
desert those who have looked to him
for relief from their burdens. What
fine specimen of manhood to place
in the chief exerz.'yA's chair!
We have presumed that Mr.. U'Ren
honestly intends, in the event of his
election to fulfill the promise referr-
ed to. But in making the offer, he Is
dishonest to himself, his single tax
associates and his single tax support
ers.
What assurance have we that as
Governor he would be any more hon
| est than as private citizen?
Perhaps he would find that by
dropping prohibition he could be re-
elected in 1918. If he would drop
single tax in order to be elected in
1914 what reason have we to feel GER
tain that he might not right-about-
face on prohibition In order to be re-

Senator Booth, where did you gel

should make full and complete an.

The Democrat will not attempt te
answer the question. We will not
attempt to explain how the Booth

in Oregon, nor do we wish to be un
derstood as making the charge that

charge against Mr.. Booth, without
the slightest warrant, and without
any evidence whatever to support it
the Democrat lamely adds this sen
tence:
But in the absence of proof to the
contrary, Senator Booths friends
have right to assume that his i'm

mense fortune was acquired by hon
est toll.
They have. And so must be the
assumption of all others. What pos
sible justification. then. for the stud
led insinuation that the wealth OF
Senator Booth was not acquired
honestly?
1t is obvious, of course, that this
vicious little paper at Albany has
sought to poison the general mind
against Mr.. Booth by phrasing, in the
language of prejudice and jealousy,
an indictment against him for being
a wealthy man. That is all. The
Albany editor lacks the courage and
candor to say that the fortune of Mr.
Booth was procured improperly but
he nevertheless seeks to provoke a
public discussion as to whether a
man can be timber baron" and a
good citizen. 1t is low politics.
If the Democrat will cause an in
quiry into the methods by which Mr..
Booth created a great industry in the
Willamette Valley, and will make a
fair report of results, it will be OBJ
liged to say that this man is entitled
to commentator for his straightfor-
ward methods and upright conduct,
and to the gratitude of state for his
practical contribution to its welfare.
He built great business where 9TH
ers had failed. He got his timber
lands by outright purchase. He ex-
tended his operations to various parts
of Oregon openly, wisely and persis-
tently. He asked and had no special
favors, from Government, from rail-
roads, or from individuals. What the
lumber industry in the Willamette
Valley owes to Mr.. Booth can hardly
be calculated in terms of money.
What the people of Oregon owe to
him is an acknowledgement that he
has done much to elevate it's COM
mercial standard and to extend its
commercial interests.
The term timber baron" used by
the Democrat in another part of its
article, is of course opprobrious and
is intended to be. The Oregonian
does not know how much Mr.. Booth
is worth, but it suspects that it is not
nearly so much as he is commonly
believed to have. The popular con-
ception of what he has is probably
based on the knowledge of what he
has given away.
1t occurs to The Oregonian that q
man who by his real constructive
genius and by his honorable ways has
done so much for industry ought to
be useful in a public capacity to the
state.

ditional regulation is imposed. In
oregon in particular, the public
should give serious thought to this
situation before lending its support
to the numerous initiative measures
dealing with different phases of the
labor problem. Remember that la
Dor is as dependent upon industrial
development as 1t Is upon the direct
product of its hands.

LUXURIES PLAY LARGE PART.

| LCXCRIES PLAY LARGE PART.
The high or increased cost of liv-
ing has become a vital problem to
modern civilization. says the Spokes-
man-Review. With production in
creased today miraculously over what
il was century ago and increasing
still, with the farms of the world
abounding in food and materials of
food as never before, why is it that
hundreds of thousands hunger and
that millions wear their lives away in
toll without being able to secure a
fair, living? Why is it so hard to Sc
cure the essentials for the mainten-
ance of a family even at minimum
of health and decency?
The question has become the eco
nomic riddle of the age. Socialism
claims to know the reply and the
remedy, but fails to carry conviction
and no other school of thought is so
presumptuous as to make this claim.
The least annual income necessary
to support father, mother and three
young children is placed by economic
experts at $500. But it is calculated
that in the United States 100000
adult males engaged in industrial
work or personal service receive less
than 5000 a year. Even when wives
and children as we'll as their bread
winner work for wages, the family
income remains so small that there
are millions of American families
who can't attain the minimum income
that is considered necessary. So So
Der sociologist as Fairchild of Yale
does not hesitate to 60 so far as to
maintain publicly that the conditions
of the modern laborer, though better
than those existing century ago, are
insignificantly better when measured
by improvements and advances in the
production of wealth. The laboring
classes do not seem to him to have
shared proportionately in the benefits
of the progress achieved during the
10th century.
Part of Professor Fairchild's at
tempt to account for the increased
cost of living comes close to James
J. Hills idea that it is owing to the
cost of high living. The professor
moves toward this explanation
through distinguishing between COM
modities that are necessities and
those that are luxuries. The first are
essential to existance, the second to
pleasure. The same productive
agencies can not be employed at the
same time to produce both luxuries
and necessities. Production must be
divided between the two. The pro-
portionate division depends on the
relative demand for necessaries and
for luxuries. The productive forces,
if devoted entirely to the creation of
necessary articles, would yield super
abundance for all. But large and
increasing proportion of the produc-
tive forces is utilized in the produc-
tion of luxuries. If follows that the
more capital goes into making auto
mobiles the less can be employed in
raising grains and cattle. The high
ness of the cost of living largely de-
pends on the relatively lessening
amount of production that is going
into the creation of necessaries. So
long as the production of luxuries
continues to increase, so long will
the cost of living continue to rise.

show that the nervous system is being

Mccormick, with great dramatic dis

missioner Frank Ragen called Nc
Cormick the same thing, only much
stronger than Case did, and McCor-

There were several ladies present
yesterday when Ragen flouted Nc
Cormick. After the Case incident
they regarded Mccormick as hero
and he accepted the title. Yesterday
they were vastly surprised when
Mac showed signs of cold feet.
Mccormick appeared crushed and
silent after Ragen showed him UP
yesterday. The quarrel arose when
Mccormick insisted ON playing the
Tribune's game by vetoing expenses
incurred by Detectives Flanagan and
Carlin in bring Charles Schartenberg,
Tribune employee, back from Mich

pallid. Then a meek smile broke out. |
