THE LIVE-STOCK OPPORTNITY There is nothing that stands out quite so clear as oppor tunities of the past. Every man can cite instances where ho had opportunity, sometimes disguised and sometimes so well defined that there should have been no failure of recognition. The livestock situation today unquestionably holds opportun ities such as it never did in the past and never has it stood out so well-defined. We know more about livestock management than we used to and have a better conception of market de mands. The price of dairy cows is not as high right now as itSvas two years ago, but it is decidedly higher than fifteen years ago. Ten years ago there were ten million cattle more than today and in that space of time it is estimated the population has in creased ten million so that the shortage has manifested itself in two.directions. There has been raised the question of over-production in dairy lines. There: is no over-production and no immediate possibility of this condition,. There may be under consump tion through financial stress. Two or three causes have operated to depress the price of dairy products during the past year or two. One is, consumers whose earnings have been curtainled and who have therefore been forced to curtail their purchases, another is. fear of for eign compuetition. The Australian and New Zealand competition does not exist just at the present time. In fact we are shipping a great deal of dairy products to these two countries. Yet the price of butter does not rise in keeping with this export trade. The im porting of butter from these two count is unfair from the standpoint 8f season more than anything else,' Their plant investment compare favorably with our own. Their labor is not secured materially cheaper. It is an advantage of season that makes butter from that source unfair to our home dairy men. Our January and February butter is the most expensive that we produce,, while this being the mid-summer season in Australia and New Zealand, their butter is made on pasture grasses. The livestock business is a proposition of time. It is not a single year enterprise. The one who jumps in this year and out the next will not be satisfied with it. With any business it is the average year that counts and this is true win livesock. And harking back o the subject, the average year for the future in livestock could not be brighter. All business is at a low ebb because of the uncertainties that prevail in the affairs of men. Conditions are being adjusted and the tide will turn as it always does. The price will not only return to k where they have been but they, will go higher. Prices of dairy cows are low right now and of all times to invest it is when prices are low and there is prospect of improved conditions. Our breeders are putting on the market better producing cows both from the standpoint nf milk and meat. A farmer may buy a foundation herd of dairy cows that will develop into producers giving more pounds of butter for a given investment of feed than he could ten or fifteen yeras ago. He can buy a start in beef cattle that will give him more pounds of beef for the same amount of feed. The price of feed is greater than in the past," but we do not have to turn back the pages very far until we find both butter are beef at half that of today's hard times prices. The time to buy sires that will improve produc tion, or to buy a-foundation herd, is right now. By the time you are getting results, the right price will be in evidence. j Rural Spirit. 1 TOO MUCH MEDICINE. In discussing the causes of depression in the lumber in dustrry The Oregonian omitted one cause lack of confidence. This feeling arises from conditions existing not only in the lumber industry but in all other industries. Those conditions have been brought about by continual change in the laws affecting business and by threats of further changes. The legislative and administrative acts adverse to the lumber in dustry, which we have already detailed are only typical of sim "men fear to move forward and capitalists fear to invest, be cause of certainty as to some obstacles which they would en counter and of uncertainty as to what additional obstacles may be placed in their path. This fear is expressed i:a the term: "Lack of confidence." Other industries than lumber enjoy prosperity, but it is THE "GREATER OREGON 1 lent. en. I! tlOIIH to lift It 111 leiii IIh B 14, mm.

In no line of business tlos honesty, efficiency and stability make moro tmpetiulvo demands than upon' prlvato bankers, whoso greatest asset Is the eonfldeneu of tho buying publlo, In his business judgment and Integrity Mr. Otto Kahn of Kuhn, l.oeb ft Com pany, when asked to state, tho relation of tho prlvato bnukor to tho bustuosS' of tho nation, said In part: "Ono of tho most Important functions or the pilvnto banker la to bo tho' Inrtrumcnt for providlnK tho money needed tor tho efllclcnt conduct and, development of railroads and other Industries, Ho docs this by buylmr securities In bulk from thoso needing capital, for which purpose he usually associates himself with n largo numbt-r of other financial houses, groat and small, thus formlnR what Is called a syndicate. HavltiK In this way concluded tho buying transaction ho offers to tho public tho securities purchased by means of 'advertising, clrcularltlng and through tho facilities of tho retail houses Included In tho cyndtcate, many of whom cmptoy traveling salesmen Of course tho banker and tho syndicate count on a reasonable profit for tholr Bervlces; on tho other hand they run tho risk of tho securities, which they' have, donnltely bought and paid for at a fixed price, remaining on their hands wholly, or In part, If tho public, for one reason or another, should bo unwll. ling to buy them. Th selling of securities Is a highly specialised I trade, requiring much oxpcrlonce, organisation, machinery and scrutiny. This Is ono of tho reasons why corporations do bettor In offering securities to tho public through bankers than If they ortorod them direct. Tho willingness of tho public lo buy depends upon their confidence In tho integrity nnd tho Judgment of the banker who makes the oner, anu a oanKer wno auompis io mislead tho public, or who Is deficient In care or Judgment, would very soon find hlmsolt without customers and. therefore, out of business, in many European countries, tho functions of the private banker lncludo tho placing of bonds secured by farm mortgages Hands of this nature are Issued In largo quantities by mortgage banks who buy mortgages on farms and other real estate and deposit them as security for tholr own bonds, which in their turn arc lold to ankcr8. It Is to be hoped that similar Institutions will. In course of time, be created In America, thus placing tho farming Industry on n par with othor Important Industries In facilities to obtain capital."

For tho time being the war has obscured the effects of lack of confidence but they are still working in the reluctance of business men to branch out and of Investors to undertako new enterprises. Peace would no sooner remove tho. artificial stimulus which tho war has given to busienss than the full effects of adverso legisla tion and of consequent lack of confidence Would become ap parent. The foreign' competition to which the Administration has exposed us wou)d be intensified by the struggle of bellg erent nations to recover .markets which they have lost and to rebuild industries which now stagnate. Capital knows this, and therefore fears to move1, though it accumulates in unpre cedented volume and Is eager to be at work. No doubt the laws relating to business are not perfect, but there is, a limit to the amount of surgery that a patient can endure without a respite. It is time for our Democratic doc tors to consider whether some of the remedies they have al ready administered were riot too drastic and whether they would not better devote .some time Jo building up the.patlent's physique and nervous system before performing another oper ation. It is poor praise for a surgeon to' say that the operation was a success but the patient died. Oregonian. NOTICE TO WOOD CONTRACTORS Xotlce is hereby given mat sealed bids will bo received by H. E.
