STATE ADVERTISING
FUND IS GROWING

Portland, Dec. 26.-Reports receiv-
ed from representatives. Of the Port
land Chamber of Commerce engaged
in raising, in this city, the sun of
100000 to be used in a state wide
| development and advertising cam
paign, indicate the intense interest
that is being taken in the plan by
business and professional men Of
Portland. Notwithstanding the OBJ
stacles in the form Of community
chest affairs, the Astoria disaster
and holiday activities, that have pre-
scented themselves since the drive
started on December 10, more than
one-third of the amount has been
pledged. Without any doubt, cham
Der officials assert, the remainder will
be Forthcoming, and the organization
will be prepared to launch its project
for the upbuilding of all of Oregon
shortly after the first of the new
year.
An interesting feature of the move
ment so far has been the strong en-
dorsement by Portland's largest in
dustrial and commercial institutions
of the Chambers determination to
give all the aid possible to the devel-
opment of the state outside of Port
land, the establishment of a COOP
e~rative marketing system whereby
the producer may be able to sell his
crop at a profit and the placing of
the farmer on a better and more Sc
cure footing.
"These business men realize that
Portland cannot continue to prosper
unless the entire state %prospers,"
said o. W. Mielke, president of the
Chamber of Commerce in commenting
on this phase of the movement. "And
it is with this thought uppermost in
their minds that they are regarding
their subscriptions in the nature of
an investment in Oregon and the
states future. They know that some
measures must be taken Immediate
ly for the relief of the farmer. They
believe that cooperative marketing is
a step in the right direction and they
are backing their opinions with their
money. They are going to furnish
right here in the city the finances
for carrying out the work. They are
confident that the results will be so
gratifying and so apparent that when
the present campaign is ended, it will
have been found necessary that the
work should be continued on a more
extensive scale. We believe the in
vestment will prove so profitable that
there will be no difficulty in raising
a much larger sum. We believe this
movement will be a permanent one,
although the present programme con-
siders a period of but two years.
"The advertising feature of the
plan is important as a means of at.
tracing tourists and others to the
state, but the general belief among
those who have studied the situation
is that no time should be lost in get
ting the farmers into a better posi-
tion."
As an instance of the interest thai
is being taken in the movement, at
~tention is called to the larger sub.
scriptions made by Portland firms.

into joyous humans, their hearts a.

The country is not suffering from
bad citizens. No country ever suff'
cred from such. Our country is stuff
ering from the bad citizenship Of
good citizens. Communities, states
and nations have no better govern.
ment than the negligent citizen pro
duces. The responsibility for bad
government rests upon the negligent
citizen, the absentee from the ballot
box, and the man who is lodging his
civic duty.
The business man and the banker
use every possible mean to escape
jury duty. They are traitors to
good government. You hear bust.
ness and professional men say that
they are not interested in politics
They are undesirable citizens. 1t Is
impossible for a taxpayer, a home
owner, an honest man, to stay out
of politics. Because Of his neglect
to perform his duty, he increases
the taxes Of all the people.
What is politics? 1t is the sci
ence of government. The science Of
good government.

Then every man, woman, and
child ought to be forced to study
the science of government. And
every man ought to be a practical,
common sense, persistent, courag-
eous everlasting politician. When
men get so pious, so good, and so
busy that they cannot afford to per-
form their plain political and civic
duties they become a curse to So
ciety, a menace to government, a
burden to the taxpayer and a blight
on citizenship.
The average non-active man is a
consummate coward, and it is his
infamous cowardice that has plunged
this country into innumerable errors.
Out Of the cowardice Of such men
we have filed the legislatures and
the Congress of the United States
with spineless men; consequently,
we legislate under the whip lash Of
a party master or we fail to legislate
because Of timidity and cowardice.
The common public is unrepre-
scented and suffers untold burdens
because Of the bad citizenship Of
good citizens.
