Let the TRUTH PreVailg
Another Grab Plan

Politicians and swindlers still are playing horse
with the public lands of Oregon
The very latest is the Chamberlain Land Grant
bill, known as Senate Bill No. 30, bill that is being
fought tooth and nail by THE PEOPLE of Oregon.
About 45 years ago congress granted the lands to
the railroad but condition that it sell the lands
to acual settlers only in quantities not greater
than 100 acres and at price not to exceed $3.50
acre.
The supreme court recently held that that provis-
ion constituted an enforceable covenant" giving
congress power to enforce it by appropriate legisa
ton.
Now comes Senator Chamberlain with a bill that
would result in the sale of 100000 acres to the
timber barons, under sealed bids, for cash.
1t is cute bill. 1t provides that the timber shall
be sold, the government retaining it's title to the
land. But the owner of the timber NEED NOT CUT
IT UNTIL HE GETS GOOD AND READY.
That is, he could cut the ripe trees and let the
young trees grow. Thus he and his descendants
could hold the land 100000 years if the world
lasts that long.
Or he could leave single tree standing, and grow
alfalfa, and the land would still be climber land''
within the meaning of the bill.
Chamberlain claims the bill is designed to give the
actual settlers chance at the land AS matter of
fact the lumber interests keep the farmers off
the land forever and ever.
And if the farmer does ultimately get the larfd he
also gets the stumps. And he must pay the railroads
$3.50 And he must live on the land five years
to "prove up and acquire title"
Another attempted holdup.

Principles

Whenever did Uncle Sam have so many exciting
things on his mind?
Instead of being an interested spectator of the
great European war game Uncle Monroe planned
that he should remain he has to dodge along the side
lines trying to keep the ball from hitting him.
Neutrality, which he has honestly tried to observe
he has found quite as worrisome active conflict
In case of good hard war of his own he would
have something direct to go to, but this business of
keeping out of other peoples and of not caring
about anybodys principles and purposes has result
ed in all kinds of exciting and dangerous mental
gymnastics.
NO MAN LIVES UNTO HINISELF-AND NO
NATION.
In all his history, Uncle Sam has never had such a
varied assortment of troubles as those which bother
him this week-trOubles not of his own seeking
troubles thrust upon him.
He must settle them in day-though he must set
tie them for all tme for they are questions of PRIN
CIPLE, and not of POLITICS nor of POLICIES.
1t is easy for clever politicians to confuse these
points. 1t is to their profit to do so.
1t is up to the people to make and to keep to these
clear distinctions upon the purity Of which the ma
tons integrity depends.
