EDITORIAL

Why do we go back to school? Is
it that we seek some information
that can only be found there? Will
we put forth our best efforts to
gain that advancement? Will we
cooperate with our instructors and
endeavor to put forth the best ef-
forts possible for our advancement?
Or do we go just to have good
time and eventually get through,
somehow, Only we are capable of
answering these questions We can
correct our faults an try for a bet
ter understanding of our subjects if
we have perseverance and diligence.
Are we going to make this year
better than last? Are we going to
achieve not only a thorough under
standing of our subjects but a
better understanding of our fellow
students and how best to cooperate
in school activities? Are we choos-
ing subjects that will mean some
thing in the future or are we being
carried along, content to take the
easy tasks?
Let us then resolve to make this
a memorable year and reap har-
vest Of knowledge for use in the
future.

INDIANS VANISH.
BUT RECORDS LIVE

BUI kECOkUS LIVE
Although death may wipe out the
few remaining tribes of Pacific
Northwest Indians, their languages,
songs and music will Live in per-
manent records being made by the
department. of anthropology of the
University of Washington.
! DR.. Melville Jacobs, who has
spent about ten years studying the
Northwest tribes, especially of Ore
gol1, in their native villages and on
government reservations, predicts
the time will come when Indians
will be as scarce in this part of
the country as the ancient dino
saurs that once roaned the plains.
we now have only relics of those
large tribes of people with their nu-
nlerous villages in the Pacific
Northwest DR.. Jacobs declares.
sThe influx Of whites brought dis
eases and strong liquors which the
Indians could not survive. Only
few descendants of those old tribes
men who knew the music, songs,
language and religion remain to
pass on the interesting history OF
their forefathers. In many m
stances only one or two are lett,
and. in my experience during the
past ten years, have see the last
survivors of several once great
tribes die
The anthropology department has
made photograph recordings OF the
languages of these fast dying PEG
piles as we'll as recordings OF Their
music and songs
Dir. Jacobs said that sooner or
later every last once OF the In
dian languages of this region WILL
die out" He predicted that in all
probability the Yakima Language
would last longer than the others
although the Indians of the Neafl
Bay region, on the northern tip Of
the Olympic peninsula, have re-
tanned much of the old culture, NIL
sic, language and religion. Time
alone can tell the effect of opening
of that country on the Indians, he
added.
There is but one survivor who
speaks the Alsea language, formerly
common in western Oregon. That
Indian now lives near Chehalis.
Likewise there is but one left who
speaks the Tualatin language, DR..
Jacobs said. Although his ancestors
roamed western Oregon he has
lived for number of years in the
Yakima valley.
The anthropoIogi pointed out
that the last Indian who knew the
ancient culture and language of the
Clackarnas tribe of Oregon, one OF
the group which spoke pure Chin
ook, died within a short time after
he had interviewed her. Except for
the permanent recordings and writ
ings, the language, music and cul-
tllre of that group died with her,
he said.
Similarly all through the Pacific
Northwest, death is wiping out the
memories. of those old tribesmen,
he added. ~

CONSTITUTIONS EsQUIcENTENNIAL
Friday. September H. this nation will begin
= 2O-mOnth sesqucente1lnia} observance OF the
federal constitution, which drawn up lou
years ago.
AS a usual thing, the observance of our nation
al accomplishments is occasion for patrlOtlc
spirit to prevail, but there is every indication
that this observance while commemorat1ng one
of the most important features OF our govern
ment will serve as an excuse for POLITICAL argu-
ments and vituperaton.
It comes, rather unhappily, at time when the
constitution has become little more than pol
tical football. and with both friends and enemies
of the Administrations supreme court plan sched-
uled to speak to the nation on this occasion, we
can only hope that the constitution receives it's
just share of the limelght and that present pol
itical schemes are showed into the background for
a while.

was not produced from a moments inspiration;
it is not panacea to make this nation a perfect
government, nor should it be revered as an in
vlOlabe Commandment.
Rather, it required weeks and months OF the
most bitter debate to come into being; even Them
all parties to it's construction forced to
make many concessions, and only when 1T was
agreed that some features not included would be
attached as the first ten amendments, or bill OF
rights could it be passed by the group Of states
who drafted it.
AS finally adopted by that group, it represented
middle-of- the-road type of philosophy, the
trainers having been almost irrevocably divided
into two groups, one of which demanded strong
central government while the other contended
that the individual citizens and the individual
states were supreme, and that a federal govern
ment should have no powers of legislation.
Ironically enough, the group favoring the
strong, central government were known as pol
itical realists, who were fearful of the excuses
of democracy and wished a government by an
aristocracy of ability and wealth, while today the
group seeking to strengthen the central govern
ment to position comparable to that sought by
this group of trainers, are known political
idealists who profess hatred of an aristocracy
of wealth or ability.
A thorough study of the constitution IS quite
likely to result in the conclusion that it is not an
absolute document, binding the government to
certain actions only, and vesting a power in the
government and in the governed which must re
main unchanged.
Rather, It should serve foundation, addl-
tions to which should be made as circumstances
determine.
suitable means for making these additions
was included in the document by it's fal-sighted
trainers. who foresaw that It would not always
,,rova satisfactory who feared. i'm fact. that it

ducers, shippers and buyers.
His summary follows:
"Supply and demand meet on common
ground, assuring full market value to
the seller, and confidence to the buyer.
Because of their personal inspection
of the fruit and produce, the buyers
establish confidence in their purchases.
"Uniform, standardized containers are
developed, brought about by common
expressions of likes or dislikeS by the
buyers, thus assisting shippers TO use
the most acceptable container.
"Open competition, with bidding on
the produce to its full value.
Liberal extension of credit TO buyers,
thus assuring greater and quicker distri-
button of the shippers fruit.
Assumption by the Auction OF all
credit risks, with prompt remittance as
sured the shipper.

CHICAGO. Fruit auctions have
recently become recognized as
vital factor in the marketing struc-
ture of fresh fruits and produce by
leading universities and agricultural
colleges Of the country.
This is evidenced by the fact that
large groups of students of market
ing and economics in the ranking
schools are visiting the ten big city
auction markets comprising the
American Fruit and Produce Auc-
ton Association at least once each
semester.
AS an Illustration the Fruit Auc-

"All of these warehouses are
located on property adjacent to rail-
roads equipped with trackage to
facilitate the unloading of fruit, !"
he stated. THE shipments are un-
loaded during the night by expert
enced fruit handlers and impartial
samples are displayed by men who
have no financial interest in the
product.
Fruit Must Qualify.
''The auction company does not
guarantee quality or condition. Buy
ers must determine these factors
when inspecting. However, fruit
must qualify to those grades and
sizes which are stamped on the
container. Catalogues with full
manifest of the sale are given to
each buyer. The auctioneer and buy
er work from identical catalogues,
except that the buyer has his own
inspections noted thereon, together
with his ideas of value.
The auction sale starts at set
hour each day and bids accepted
by the auctioneer are always with
an upward tendency.
For all the services performed
by the auction company members
of our association, the maximum
charge to the shipper is per cent
Of the gross proceeds. Naturally,
then. it is to the advantage of our
members to obtain as much as they
can for the products they sell.
Therefore, the interests of the ship
per and auction are identical-to
realize a maximum.

Combination of Buyers
Inconceivable in Fruit
Auctions, Saws Expert


CINCINNATI. O.-The sale of
fruit at auction is a practical guar
antee that no combination of buyers
can ever be successful in discrim-
mating against grower, according
to a statement by T. H. Powell,
sales manager Of the California
Fruit Growers Exchange. made
public here by the American Fruit
and Produce Auction Association.
Auction buyers are made up OF
wholesalers. jobbers, chain store
buyers, retailers and peddlers. each
with their own outlets to serve"
Mr.. Powells statement reads.
Now, distribute these five factors
among 100 to 500 men of several
different nationalities in an auction
room, each one of them anxious to
buy enough fruit to satisfy his trade
or to supply his natural outlet, bid
ding against the other, with no fac
tor knowing just what fruit any of
the others may buy. Then conceive.
if you can, any possible combination
which could outlast the natural in
clination of these men to buy and
sell fruit day after day in order to
make a profit. Their needs are too
widely diversified to permit of any
combination, and the sale Of this
fruit at auction is, in itself, a prac-
tical guarantee that no combina-
tion of buyers can ever be success
full in discriminating against q
grower.

Auction Credit Assures
Wide Fruit Distribution

PITTSBURGH.-Cr amounting
to millions of dollars is extended to
buyers by the fruit auctions in ten
metropolitan centers. so that the tre-
mendous volume of fresh products
handled daily may reach the ulti-
mate consumer in the quickest pos
sible time, Joseph A. Schwalb, Sec
retary-treasurer of the American
Fruit and Produce Auction Associa-
ton, of New York City, said in an
address here.
THE fruit auctions in the United
States extend weekly credit Of
more than $7,000,000 to buyers"
Mr.. Schwalb declared. 1.-The terms
of sale vary somewhat in the diff
ferent markets. depending to some
extent upon local conditions. In
practically all cases, however, the
proceeds from the sales are re-
mitted to the sellers within twenty
four hours. The auction companies
assume all credit risks. Notwith-
standing the large amount of money
outstanding. they have the distinc-
ton of never having failed to remit
promptly to growers, shippers or
owners, for any products sold at
auction.
Due to this credit system, fresh
fruit and produce from distant points
reach the homes of consumers
even those many miles distant
within a few hours after the auc-
ton sale, thus creating a wide and
rapid distribution of the growers
products"
