OREGON'S BEAUTY
HAS A CASH VALUE
Executive Points Out Need of
Retaining States Scenic
Wonder.
Holds Commerce Must Not Rob
Citizens of States Best
Asset.
BY BEN W. OLCOTT.

Editors Note,-Ben w. Olcott, gov
ernor OF Oregon. is putting up a hard
fight to retain for his state the won
derful beauty given by a generous
Nature, His insistance that big in
terests in securing raw materials, lum-
ber ct cetera, do not dsfigure the land
scape when 1t can be avoided has
brought him much contention but it
has also brought him the regard of
the citizens of the state at large.
What Is your state doing to retain
the natural beauties that lie within
its borders?
Oregon is going to preserve its nat
ural beauties If it takes drastic laws
and a supervision of beauty spots by
a united citizenship. Greedy corpora
tions seeking to denude the soil Of its
mineral and vegetable wealth have
ruined beyond repair untold thousands
of acres OF great beauty, other corpora
tions have erected shacks and signs
and what not without the slightest re-
gard to their effect on landscapes, per-
feet views have been made blistering
horrors and some of the fairest spots
in the United States have been made
backgrounds for hideous monuments
of careless and powerful industry
No commonwealth appreciates the
need OF industrial activity more than
Oregon, no state welcomes more read
lily the coming of business and the
production and manufacture Of any
thing that tends to help mankind but
Oregon is determined that industry
shall not destroy its beauties when
the same results can be obtained with
out such destruction.

our highways which are being paved
throughout the state, will lose a great
percentage Of their value, If the coun-
try through which they pass is denud
ed of its beauties Aside from senti-
mentalism there is dollar value in
this movement which means an i'm
mense material asset to the people Of
the state
l desire to see this movement go
ahead and gain an enormous impetus.
with the people of the state squarely
behind it as they are, see no reason
why oregon cannot forever remain one
Of the beauty spots OF the world.

Scenery IL Varied.

To the West of the Cascades nest
ling between those majestic noun
talns and the onderful Coast Range,
lies series of valleys, such as the
Willamette the Umpqua and the Rogue,
From spring to spring these valleys
lie mantled in green, wonderfully pro-
ductive, rich in all of those glories
that delight the heart of the agricultur-
list, watered by never failing streams
and producing fruits and products of
the fields for the marts of the world,
Along the Pacific Coast in oregon
the country has charm all Its own,
The long broken coast line, dotted by
million seductive beauties, rugged
castelated rocks, pinnacled high above
the Pacific standing watch and ward
through the centuries. Here among the
hills are countless dairy farms, thous-
ands Of cattle producing the richest Of
dairy products and found from Tilla-
nook to the North to Coos and Curry
Counties in the far southwest

Grain and Herds.

To the east of the Cascades an en-
tirely different prospective is present.
ed Here too there Is scenery; mag
nihcent scenery which holds the nature
lover enthralled, but here, in many re-
gons irrigation is king and here are
found numerous thriving and prosper
Gus communities gaining their susten-
ance and life's blood from water. In
parts of Eastern oregon are found the
far flung fields of golden wheat,
thousands and thousands of acres of
of sheep and herds Of cattle, The Cen
trail and Eastern parts of the state, all
living to the East of the Cascades, have
shown wonderful development agri-
culturally and industrially and each
have their scenic marvels to lure the
visitor on and on.
In our state remains one fifth of the
standing timber of the United States,
This timber is one of our greatest as
sets from the scenic as well as from
the Industrial standpoint. 1t is the
duty of the state, while not interfer-
ing with industry, to retain those re-
markable beauties, which to a large
degree are made remarkable by their
sylvan adornment, the greatest forest
stretches still left on the American
continent,
For many years I have watched with
regret the gradual encroachment on
our scenic beauties made by the ad-
vancing army of industry. Some OF our
rarest and most beautiful scenic roads
have been marred by the denudation
of the sylvan growths from the valleys
and the hills through and over which
such roads wended their way.
Something over year ago some

Recommendations from lne executive
office to the last Legislature brought
about the enactment Of statutes which
pave the way for doing some splendid
work along the lines mentioned. The
state highway commission under one
act is empowered to condemn strips of
land along state highways for the pur-
pose of preserving scenic beauties and
in another statute II Is made mis-
demeanor to destroy or inJure trees
or shrubbery along the lines of state
highways without first receiving the
written permission from the state
highway engineer
l am informed that the state high
way commission Is taking an active
interest in this phase Of the develop
ment Of the highway commission and
look for considerable good to come
from these statutes.
In addition to the operation Of these
laws plans are being put under way
for conference within the near fu-
ture to be held in conjunction with
the executive office at which ! expect
a number of citizens to take part, in
cluding those who have evinced a deep
interest in this work. The object of
this conference will be to form sort
OF statewide organization, with units
in every county and city II necessary,
to watch after local conditions and pre-
vent as far as possible destruction Of
beauty spots in the various localities
throughout the state. With public
opinion as 1t Is in favor Of the preserv-
alton of scenic beauties ! believe that
this may be capitalized with magni-
fcent results for the benefit of the
whole state and the benefit of the
thousands Of tourists and visitors who
come to oregon annually.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1921-12-29

public expressions emanated from this
office as to the necessity for taking
steps TO permanently preserve these
beauties as an asset to ourselves and
rich heritage to posterity The re-
sponse received was amazing, although
perhaps not so amazing when one con-
siders the importance of the subject
matter involved. From every section of
the state, from every city and hamlet,
from nearly every commercial club and
civic organization came offers of CO.
operation and assistance. The people
of Oregon realized the value Of their
birthright and were demanding It's re-
tention.

virtually impossible to bring to
speedy justice and punishment the
criminals in certain districts who
possess the power of political pull.
Magistrates under the mandate
Of such an act of the Assembly
still have city jurisdiction, but at
the same time it compels a crimi-
nal to be taken before the commit
ting magistrate Of the district in
which the offcnse or crime was
committed.
The decent citizens of Philadel-
phia should awaken instantly to
this danger.
They should protest with all the
power of an outraged public.
The amendment as it stands to-
day places in jeopardy the lives,
the safety and the comfort Of the
citizens.
Always and ever the aim Of a
certain class Of politicians has
been to maintain their control of
the creatures of the underworld for
the purpose Of power and protcc-
tion money.
Knowing the hopcIcssness of
carrying such cases as mentioned
above before certain magistrates,
the police authorities now carry
them before magistrates Of rcpu-
tation, probity and fairness for
commitment and punishment.
All this is swept away by the
pending bill.
Knowing how complacent to the
will of political bosses such magis-
trates are, knowing the futility Of
trying to secure a commitment be-
fore magistrates of this kind, the
police perforce would be obliged
to carry their cases before such
men.
In this can be seen the ultimate
supremacy Of the underworld.
This is the character or object
of the Sewers bill, which seeks to
restrict the jurisdiction Of magis-
trates.
1t is a measure designed to block
the war against vice in Philadcl-
phia.
Do the people want this?
1t is for them to say before it is
too late.
