Kruat dilllculty Is that thy treasury

Only a week until ChrlHtmns Eve.
As uhuhI, the occasion will lie ob
served with appropriate exornlsuH,

No use to mention bad roads they

road districts In thin county which
are preparing to have good roads be

Thero ought to bo a moral In the
report of the secretary of the treas
ury. The deficit fur the fiscal year
ending June 30 last was r8, 000,000.
It Is one of the greatest in the his
tory of the nation. Yet it 1b estimat
ed that the deficit for 1909 will far
surpass It, mounting to the unpre
' cedented total of $1 14,000,000.
Nor Is this all. The estimate for
1910, without taking Into account
possible loss of revenue from tariff
reductions, Is placed at the great total
of $143,000,000. From the stand
point of business It Is a bankruptlve
proposition. The moral of it Is that
those who are conducting things are
"plunging." They are in a career of
high finance that must be checked or
affairs be turned over to a receiver
ship. Otherwise than In government
this national balance sheet with the
balance on the wrong side of the
ledger would be the Blgnal for re
duction of expenditures. That is the
course suggested by reason as well as
by business.
Our buslnoKB management has been
such that we have already reached
the point where indirect taxation,
graft and bad government cost every
head of a family In the nation $200
per year. On the average man every
added Dreaduuught costing $10,000,
000 levies a toll. Kvery one of (he
ninety odd thousand federal employee
put on the government salary rolls In
the last four years levies a toll on
him. All the thousands of govern
mental schemes of exploitation, cost
ing tons of money, are a tax on hie
toll, his time and his talent, Alt
this 1h a reason, ami a vital one, for
cutting government expenditures .
The cost of living in this country has
reached a point where wages, toll
and vital forces are swallowed up
In the struggle to merely exist, all
duo to indirect taxation, graft and
tho lapses of had government. These
are reasons enough for a reduction
of government expenditures, by dis
missal of an army of needless otllctals
and a stay In building the armaments
of an impossible war. If these, how
ever, are not reasons enough to con
vince rongreHs then the national bal
ance Hheet with Its deficits, present
and to come, should present the
moral In the good old logic of event
uating bankruptcy. Journal.

each phase of tho business muHt bear
its share of the burden. Conditions
must be right all along the Hue from
the first steps In production to the
delivery of the finished product to
the consumer. The fact that cream
Is scarce and the demand great fur
butter, is no excuse for (he dairyman
to take advantage of the creamery
man's dependent condition and de
liver cream to him that is so- filthy
or so old and add that It not only
will not make iool butter Itself but
will so 'contaminate his whole batch
of .frciini that none of his butter can
be of first grade.
There Is no doubt but what there
are dairymen In the state who do feel
thai It is alt right for them to furnish
the creamer men with Just as poor
an article n any one could have
tho gall to cull cream, but they were
not at the convention. They are
not the class of men who attend such
meetings and assume the burden of
the work necessary for tho general
betterment of conditions. So it Is a
case of the survival of the fittest.
Resolutions were passed by the
convention favoring the enactment of
legislation which, when placed upon
the statute boks and properly en
forced will do much to advance the
dairy interests of the state. No hon
est dairyman can object to the pas
sage and enforcement of the proce
ed law and no legislator or tax payer
should oppose the small appropria
tion asked for to support inspection
and dairy testing associations. Port

The 108 returns from the vn'rs
of the united States show more
clearly than they ever did that the
American people have learned to de
clare their wishes and purposes at
the polls with distinctness and em
phasls. There can be no doubt, for"
example, that a majority of the peo
pie of Indiana wanted Taft for nresl
dent. Shall the congressional re
turns which changed the Hoosler del
elation from nine republicans an
four democrats to 11' democrats an
four republicans be unset therefore
l.nw about Missouri, Minnesota, Ohio
and other states which picked and
cimse among the republican and th
democratic candidates?
As to the unsoundness of the Ore
gon argument In morals there can
be no question whatever. The
choice of Chamberlain for senator,
and the selection of candidates for
the legislature which was to ratify
It, were made In accordance with a
primary law which was designed to
effect practical election of United'
States senators by the voters of the
state. That the primary law has not
worked satisfactorily from tho be
ginning does not mitigate for a mo
ment tile hideous Immorality of the
proposal now mooted that the legis
lature shall not keep fnlth with the
people. So Immoral is it Indeed as
to evoke astonishment at the condi
tion of public sentin'ient which would
tolerate Its projection even.
Senator-elect Albert Abraham Is
preparing to apply to Governor Cham
berlain for a pardon for George
Green, who was sentenced In the cir
cuit court here In April, 1907, to one
year's Imprisonment in the peniten
tiary for obtaining money under false
pretenses. Green passed one of those
$10 Georgia State Dank bills, issued
before the war, upon a Drain store
keeper In payment for some articles,
less than a dollar In value, and re
ceived legal money in change. Huv
ing other genuine money on his per
son. Green reimbursed the store
keeper for his loss, after being
brought to Hoseburg, but this did not
exempt him from the penalty of the
law. ureen comes of a good family.
Ills brother Is a prominent lawyer of
Ilrooklyn, N. Y., a member of th
New York legislature and chairman
of ItB committee on general laws. He
has provided the necessary funds to
defrny the expense of his brother's
return to Brooklyn In the event of
his pardon, and Mr. Abraham hopes
to secure this in time to enable the
man to reach home by Christmas.

More people succumb each year to
some form of kidney trouble than

of kidney derangement often devel

known authority. For some of these,
such as backache, pain in the reglou
