Privilege

The inequalities existing in this and in every other
ernment due to prvege-and privilege always makes
for the destruction of opportunity.
Privilege may be defined the right to secure some
thing without rendering service adequate service fran
cse to do something which others must refrain from do
ing to something that others must refrain from
sessing.
Privilege takes various FORMS A franchise for public
utilities is privilege monopoly granted by government
The right oiwels and mines not in is priv
ege The power land not in to hold it for
ulave purposes privilege. Inheritance of money or
property is privilege The protective tariff, which evies
on the many the enrichment of the few is another form
of privilege Exemptions from taxation and other govern
mental favors are other forms of privilege.
In BRIEF every method of securing profits through pecu
lation and monopoly by doing nothing is privilege NO
form of privilege matter how nsiduous, is an inherent
human right many of the beneficiaes think merely be-
cause it has been egaized and all forms of privilege
subject to reputation in the evolution of socie-at its
discretion.
Privilege if left alone, soon becomes powerful that
it rules the government absorbs the government and fre
quenty is the government in ueda states In the Unit
ed States founded the doctrine of democracy the
ernment early established inequality of opportunity by
granting special privileges in the form of land grants fran
cse patents and tariffs and to curb privilege thus esab
sed has been compelled to functions and use
its police power for regulation and meet the growing
menace of monopoly.
Regulation Of not for privilege and mon
opoy 1t meets the situation very nadequately and amey
and always its tents where monopoly canped te Gay De
FORE 1t quite catches up. And regulation breeds
paernaism paternaism is socialism, the anthsis OF
democracy So is apparent that the of government
ills resultant from inequality root in privilege.
Regulation tinkers with the result leaving the cause un-
disturbed To make matters worse confused that
cannot distinguish between what rghfuy public and
rghully private property distinguish the boundary ne
which separates private from public functions So we in
the dose of regulation and trend towards the social
istc state the of monopoly increases just as
Ioff
ing appetite for poison which must ultimately kill the pa
tient, no matter how strong the constitution.

FEW NEW HOUSES
BUILT HERE FOR
RENTAL DEMAND

Hardly 5 per cent of the houses
now under construction in Salem
are being built for the purpose of
renting, according to the opinions
of several real estate dealers. The
many homes now in the process of
erection are for people who are
making a home for themselves.
Hence the difficulty in renting
modern houses.
The Mutual Savings & Loan
association of Salem has built 40
houses so far this year and now
has applications for nine more. A
few years ago the average amount
involved in building a house
through the building and loan as
sociation was about $4,000.
Now almost all loans for build
ing houses are from $500 to
$1,000. For the benefit of those
who are thinking over the pro
position of building a house on
the building and loan plan, it may
be said that a loan of $1,000 will
cost the borrower just $3.50 a
week until the series in which the
loan is made is paid out Part of
this $3.50 is for interest and part
for payment on the principal Of
the loan.

DANCE TO DEDICATE
new SCIO GYMNASIUM

Scio, Or, Nov. 24.-Much inter-
est is being aroused by the dedi-
cation of the new Scio high school
gymnasium which occurs Saturday
evening, November 25. This inter
est is due to two facts; First, that
the funds for erecting the struc-
ture were not raised by taxes but
by the efforts of the students; and
second, because the quality Of the
building attracts favorable atten-
tion.
The new gymnasium is 60x129
with height of % feet under
the trusses. The present esti-
mated value of the building is
$4,000 but the actual cost was
much less due to the volunteer
work and other assistance given
the students.

GERMAN CABINET
TENDERS W|RTH
RESIG NATIONS
Action Precipitated by
Refusal of Socialists
to Participate
tBy Associated PressI

Berlin, Nov. 15-The German cabi-
net headed by Chancellor Wirth has
fallen. The ministerial designations
filed last night, were precipitated by
the decision of the United Socialists
not to participate in coalition min
istry, whicn included members of the
German peoples party. But the
friends of Chancellor Wirth were not
oblivious of the feeling that he had
outlived his usefulness and now had
become a victim of a policy of inde-
cision and inactivity which found its
elimination in the governments fail
ure to make a practcl enlargement
with the allied reparations commits
sion during the course of its recent
visit to Berlin.
Ever sine the assassination of for
eign minister Rathenau, the chancel-
lor has been described as a man who
apparently possessed no inspiration,
no initiative. This attitude gave ad-
ded weight to the assertion that the
late foreign miniser was Wirth's in
spiration, and the force which urged
! him ON.
With the passing of DR.. Rathenau
the chancellor visibly lost influence
with his cabinet colleagues. AS q
result the support given his "policy
of fulfillment" diminished day by
day. He admitted the collapse Of
this policy last summer when he an
nounced that the governments slo
gan had become: "bread first, ther
reparations."
Foreign criticism Of the ALLEGED
4. weakness of the cabinet, emanatin(
from London, as we'll as Berlin, dur
ing the last few days contributed t.
undermining the chancellor's position
even in the ranks of the coalition
party. His belated espousal of tn
peoples party as ecessary adjunc
to the government definitely alien
ated the support he had been receiv
ing from the socialists.
Ever since the assassination of D
Rathenau, the chancellor has beef
obsessed with fear for his persona
safety. During the last few months
heavy guard of plain clothes mel
has constantly surrounded him.
