Amucli more interest ing and pertinent prolilem relates to our intention toward Germany NOT A SENTIMENTAL QUESTION. We are glad to note that the Oregon Voter also takes issue with our esteemed contemporary, the Oregon City Courier, in its attack on the proposal to construct a new Mate penitentiary. Ilic Courier uses over n column of its valuable space in its last issue and sobs over the men who are not in prison. It is with the men who are in prison, and who are coming out some day, that we are most concerned. It is with men who have made a slip, who has transgtcssed. but who may. under proper treatment and proper surroundings, U'come just as useful citiens as are found outside of penitentiary wallseven in newspaper offices. "There are scores of families in Oregon City this very day," shrieks the Courier, "actually suffering as compared with the inmates of the Oregon state prison Tl IE FOOD QUESTION IN WAR TIME. Hie so-called "plain citizens. " which means most of us. though somewhat concerned in the causes that led up to a declaration of war upon Germany by the United States, will ultimately, and prolubly very soon, become more deeply con cerned in the war problems that strike home to him. Chief of these is the food problem. 'Sugar advanced 73 cents a hundred pounds last Satur day. Grains and cereals took a tremendous jump and a fur ther advance is indicated. For months we have all Urn famil iar with the top notch prices of eggs, potatoes, onions and other food" commodities that are in daily use in the house- it there are scores of families in Uregon City who are Imld. actually suffering, it is high time we obtained action from aj The average man will be compelled to face the. certainty relief committee.

The decent peniten tiary is not a "hotel de luxe," but it will save men and will be worth all it costs. The Oregon Voter, certainly with a rea sonably clear understanding of the situation, says: "Do not complain about the cost of a new penitentiary. Irrespective of the tax cost, it must be constructed. "Not one humane citizen would punish a wretch or his worst enemy by putting him into the disease-breedinc nest dungeon which the state of Oregon today must use to house its convicted criminals. "Only ignorance of the actual conditions will excuse any taxpayer for opposing this appropriation. Because the in mates have forfeited civil rights is no reason for letting them rot physically and morally. "A state's prison should be wholesome and sanitary, with cell arrangements permitting the separation of depraved felons from first-termers who are susceptible to good and bad influences. "Even if it owes nothing to criminals, the state owes to itself that respect which can spring only from providing de cent physical conditions in a state institution.'' FINANCING A WAR The United States, through the experience of the warring European powers, has acquired a tremendous fund of pre paredness information. Americans who have served with the European armies and navies have made available to us their valuable experience in the world war. In the less spectacular, although hardly less important. phase of the struggle, war financing, this country has also had skilled observers. It has not been necessary for them to visit the scene of the struggle. In a way the scene of the struggle has come to them. Much of the planning of the financial side of the war has taken place within shadow of Trinty church in lower Broadway, New York. By reason of America's newly acquired leadership in the world's finances, we know how Europe has financed herself to meet the strain of her tremendous struggle. Money is the sinews of war. We know how Europe has kept her sinews pliant and efficent. America, therefore, is in a much better position than we were at the beginning of any of the five wars which brought us face to face with weighty economic, financial and social problems. The banks and trust companies of this country, through which Europe has conducted much of her war financing, are at one with the nation's industries, in affording the govern ment the resources with which to meet the eventualities of war. For example, the Guaranty Trust company of New York has recently reduced to book form its fund of informa tion on war financing. In a pamphlet entitled "War Loans and the United States,"' there is some rather striking informa tion. The United States now holds approximately thirty per cent of the world's supply, it points out. This is an increase of thirty-six per cent over the amount held by this country in 1914, and upon us is thrown the obligation of employing it intelligently. We are discharging this obligation by using it as a basis for foreign loans and the extension of credit. n .1 . 11 t " 1 ru tnis taut or pro-' 1 r 11 , 1. 1 . ti 1 of foods and canning foods,' epublications will be sent, without 1 ence that the work suggested is! being efficiently organized in any community. We commend . to our readers the circular issued by the college, which in part, I follows : I "Vacant city lots and back yards afford the best means for prompt relief in production. If these are properly used for raising vegetables and poultry, thousands of dollars worth of food products can be added to the normal supply in a few months. At least sixty per cent of the city lots and back yards now available are not being used. In the interest of the Nation, intelligent, sober and well organized efforts should be made to aid in improving the situation. "It is suggested that all organizations interested in the public welfare should get together and plan a campaign for their respective communities. A joint committee represent ing commercial clubs, women's organizations, parent-teacher associations, school officials, and other organizations inter ested in public problems should appoint representatives to serve on a joint committee to be charged with the direction of the campaign. A survey should be made immediately to determine the amount of ground available and the number of persons' who may be enlisted to put it to the best use. En couragement and instruction should be continued in a sys tematic way throughout the season." AUTO PAYS THE BONDS "That $6,000,000 is a large sum to take away from the taxpayers," is an assertion being made a good deal in com menting upon the pending road bond issue. The assertion is based upon a prevalent misunderstand ing of what the act involves. Nothing in the act requires any increase of taxation in order to get the $6,000,000. It is the automobile which pays the money. Auto license fees have been doubled, and with a normal increase in the number of machines owned in Ore gon, the fees will more than cover the interest and the sink ing fund payments to retire the entire bond issue. Should there be no increase in the number of autos used, it would still be unnecessary to raise taxes, for the extra money needed would come from the present quarter-mill road tax. Support ers of the road bonding measure will do well to correct the misunderstading. timid tv ul' t ;nur III. .It. I So i n a.i). Hut u!:rii u m,.r (.irmi-r I'l tii' t Vii.i t trii lilm i.w.D.

(Editor of The Enterprise.) I would like, EDITOR-MINER IN HOUSE Honorable Henry Z. Osborne of California, who enters the House for the first time in the present Congress, is an ex pert miner, having been president of a California gold mining 11 1 j- .l i - r company, ana naving Deen engagea in me Dusiness ror over twenty years. A place will doubtless be found for him on the Committee on Mines and Mining, where he will render valuable servivce. For many years Mr. Osborne w?.s con nected with the newspaper publishing business, and was at one time president of the Southern California Editors' As sociation. In the event of this country following the lead of England, and attempting to establish a censorship of the press in case of war, the House will have the benefit of Mr. Os borne's well-considered views on the subject. GERMANY'S INTENTIONS "Germany never had the slightest intention of attacking the United States of America, and does not have such in tention now.'' It is the Chancellor of the German Empire who says this. He neglects to state, however, that before Germany can attack the United States, except by long- your paper to offer some advice to the bonding committee o( the Commer cial club, not that I am at all dissat isfied with their methods, but as a little encouragement would suggest: By all means keep up the attack on Brother Spence. Tell us he talks with his thumbs crossed. Put his "pay as you go or don't go" alongside of Mr. Benson's "Run In debt (or scenic roads, Nobody amounts to anything unless they get in debt." Tell them that Benson is a millionaire, made all his own money, and Brother Spence Is Just a common fellow with nowhere near a million. Sneer a little bit at the small taxpayers who don't want to vote for bonds. Although you know the man who pays from $25.00 to an $100.00 taxes almost always pays more than his just proportion, and the man or corporation that pays t'00 or $1000 almost never does. Tell them that all the business men are In favor of bonds and only a few of us poor simps are opposed. Tell them that the Grangers are not honest In their fight against bonds. Smile a little when you mention the fact that Walter Dlra lck la opposed to the bonds. Tell the fellows out at Cams and around the county In your campaign that it wont cost a cent You and Mr. Benson will pay the bill, for he loves them so, be ing a millionaire and having made all his own money, and if yon want to be like him yon must vote for the $6,000,000 bonds. And then. Just at the last of the campaign, lust before j ncss by putting him In debt, have C. C. Chapman send out a nice bunch of the Oregon Voter pretty well splashed with red ink telling us "nicks" how to vote, uh ho did junt before the last goneral election, and we will do as we did then. If a campaign like this was carried out all over the state they could be assured as to the result. No thanks! This Is free. A. J. LEWIS.
