in a fresh and virile way with an in
dividual freedom. and technique con-
stitute American art?
What is the sculpture of Gutzon
Borglum if not American How about
the long list of American illustrators
with their 3reshs loose, easy technique,
so different to the lifeless, over-fin-
ished work found in most foreign
magazines? How about our group of
famous landscape artists?
To be sure many of the ways of in
terpreting nature much In vogue to-
day, originated in the brain of some
French artist. Rodin broke away from
the trammels of the Greco-Roman ira
dition. Millet, Monet and others first
dared to paint nature as they saw it,
regardless of academic recipe and pre-
cept, but the American artist who
adopted some of these mems ideas
and shaped them to American condi-
tions and their own individual vision,
are no more eopyists of the French
than English and German and Swedish
and Spanish artists who have done and
are doing the same thing.
Today there is no such thing as race
or nation in the arts and sciences.
There is a free interchange of ideas
among leaders of all nations in every
department of life. Indeed, this has
always been SO to a greater or less ex-
tent. Every nation throws is tribute
10 the advancement OIL humanity 4lllO
the common pot, and the men of each
country grab out what they want or
what best suits their use and then
bend or mould it to their individual
purpose. The common art of the
world to which each nation has given
its own individual twist constitutes
national art.
Take, for example. the so-called
Gothic style of architecture. 1t
seems a system of building peculiarly
original to France. but as a matter of
fact France did little else than take
principles, developed by the Greeks
and Romans, and work these into new
combinations in harmony with a new
environment and q new national need.
The trouble with American artists
is that they are allowing themselves
to be affected too much by the patron
izing contempt that older countries are
prone to use toward the people OF
newer lands. and for fear of ridicuie
are despising their own ever growing
contribution to the culture of the
world.

committee fostering a nationwide
movement for the erection in Wash

If Mr.. Smalley accepts the publicity
craftsmanship he will go to Los An

studio, and there remain until early
in January. at which time it is ex-

MAN Triumphant is Mr.. Edstrom's
masterpiece. A small model of it is
now on exhibition at Washington in
connection with the disarmament con-
ference.
The statue is to be erected on the
east side of the national capitol. The
design consists of three gigantic hui
man figures, which together, represent

its high purpose. The figures are

The City Beautiful

Going to make a City Beautiful,
is that the idea?" Is the question
asked many times about the work of
the city planning board. Only the
vague idea of planting trees, erecting
monuments, landscape gardening, and
building beautiful buildings is pos
sessed by many who have not inter-
! ested themselves in the work of the
board.
Those who think that making a
city beautiful is the work of the
planning board and that it has none
but visionary and aesthetic ideas on
city development ale badly mistaken.
City identifying is only one of the
many phases of city planning. City
coming, or regulation of the building
growth of the city, transportation
problems, public recreation, housing,
civic art and problems of legislation
and finance belong to the city plan
ming function.
An outline of the purposes of city
! planning, as given by Harland Bar
tholomew of st. Louis, who has al
ready undertaken the work of making
the Topeka plan, is given below.
Bartholomew is able at present to
give but a tentative outline, but he sets
forth what a city plan should en-
brace, as follows:
/. General Observation-Disclosures and
extent Of the city's growth. Present and
future. Area, population, topography.
Present problems New area for residence
/ or industry; expansion of the business dis
trict; increase of traffic; grade crossings,
Purpose of the city plan.
., Streets-A major street plan. Pur-
pose designation and arrangement, widths

4. Transportation - Railroads: Present
and future locations; freight terminals

velopment, location OF terminals, etc.

final ordinance and maps.)
Z. Civic art - Tree planting; spubIie

rare plants that yield no poisonous

the household of the king. One day
when he was passing thru the palace
with a jar of perfume in his arms, he

TO the Editor-I, have noticed
with pleasure the resolutions as
dopted by one Of the larger Gran
ges from the eastern part OF our
county In regard to placing an
other heavy burden upon the over
burdened taxpayer and the public
III general whereby millions are to
be voted upon them in order to
stage a big fair at Portland. This
resentment by those that are Wit
ally interested and have the bill to
pay is timely and healthy sign.
This brings to memory the
words Count Talstoi spoke at the
armory in Salem that life and
property are almost worthless in
his country but he held out a hope
and that hope was upon the coun-
try people, or peasantry, that main
tanned an unwritten law Of right
eousness that was passed on from
father to son, and we might add
implanted to great measure by
his tllustrous father. Leo Tototac,

preached, while a great scholar
who spoke and could master the
languages OF the dozen, who could
OF had the wealth and power OF
monarch, yet choose to work on
his farm and maintain sympa
thetic intercourse with the peas
antry or common people OF hisl
country.
Tolstoi's work, his name and deeds |
will live for centuries while those
kings In power that have used vi
olence. that have paid no attention
TO the cries Of their people, that
have not honored the tree that
gave them shade, will fall and be
forgotten and be thought only in
sence Of hatred. IL thought Of
at all. This has been so since
time immemorial and will be so in
the future, as its fundamental
law that no one high or low can
escape.
Well then, does II pay to kill
the goose that lays the golden
egg?
Has Portland got the straw in
It's hand. that broke the camel's
back? Is II policy or business to
tax the people out of existance?
