The American Legion will do
It can to see thai officials at Was
Ineton ar held to strict accoun
ability for liberal construction
nreaent laws and such new ones
may be passed for the benefit of dis
abled soldiers, and for prompt an
effective administration of rell .f u
der thebe laws.
A committee from the Legion h
been in conference with the heads
the three bureaus now In charge
the affairs of the disabled men. and
an outline has been mado for con
snlldating these bureaus and for fu
ther legislation.
A survey made by the Legion re
cently shows that three avenues
relief fur the disabled are sadly
arrears. They are sufficient hospital
and medical treatment, proper com
ptnsalion for dirublllty, and fulr o
portunity for vocational trainin
Provision for belter handling of all
these mailers Is Included In content
plated legislallon, but it is necessary
to guard against tedious delays.
There are many soldiers without re
lief or care at presont, although sad'
Iv In need of It. and there Is a stead
ily increasing roll of men who will
need medical and hospital care
physical troubles started in the si'
vice graduiilly develop.
It is nut surprising that measures
even fur so pressing a thing as relit
for the disabled has fallen short in
many Instunces. The country was a
little prepured for this contingency
as for the many others arising fruu
the war, or for the war llseslf. llu
time c-nuugh has p;issed now so that
there Is no excuse for matters not
progressing steadily, and It Is hope
that bolh the Legion and the public
generally will slay on the Job to see
that they do.
I'AltM I.AItOK.
A hundred years ago, says th
secretary of agriculture. 87 per cenl
of all American labor was omploye
on the farms. In 1 8110 the percent'
age had drnniied to 39. Now It Is
not more than 30, perhaps less.
These figures have an obvious
bearing on the Immigration question
Farm labor Is not needed In such
volume as it used lo be; the use ol
machinery has made labor a smaller
factor in agriculluro. Htlll, machln
cry will never make labor unneces
sary. There aie always men needed
to run the machines.
The farm labor supply has boen
lamentnbly short in the lost tiiree or
four years, and there is little prom
ise of relief. Any enslng of tin
situation that might come with In
dustrial depression will be lost again
as Boon us the mills and factories re
sume work and the men drift back
to the cities. There Is likely to be a
shortage of labor of nil sorts for
some time, when once this dullness
disnpnenrs; and unless the problem
Is hnndled differently, the furms will
surfer ns usual.
The suggest Inn Is made I hat after
the proposed year's pruhihltion of
Immigration. Immigriinls should be
welcomed particularly from the agri
cultural countries of northern Kti
rope, and that when they arrive the
government should see thai they go
to the farms where they belong. If
any exception Is to be made during
tho prohibition period, It should be
along this line.
Keeping young by going to school
with the younger generation grows In
favor with the mothers of today
Just recently a slory has been printed
concerning a grandmother who Is at
tending a southern university. Dur
ing the earlier period of her married
life this ambitious wuman was too
busy bringing up her children to
take up similes whlrh had always
appealed to her. Now the children
nro grown and have homes and child
ren of their own, all except Ihe
youngest son. who is a sophomore at
the same school which his mothe
entered this year ns a frcHliman. Th
mother Is six cializing In Journalism
nnci advertising, and incldoiiinlly
keeping in touch with tho boys anil
girls by attending Ihe football games
tiiklng part In college sports and rid
Ing horseback. Once when th" fool
bull team was down nml out she ac
cepted the mnnitgorshin. and placed
the team on a firm financial basis ns
well as at the head of the teams on
tno tocai circuit. Mil many years
ago a thing like this would have been
Considered Impossible. If the indl
vlduiil did not "get his education" in
his youth the halls of learning were
forever barred to him. Todny educa
tion is recognised as tho common in-
nernnnco regardless of nge or sta
tion, and whosoever desires to fur
ther his aciiunlnlRnce with any sub
Joct finds a thousnnd doors opening
to his touch.
Among tho thousnnd or more In
veslors with the defunct bond roust
or Morris Hros. Inc., Portland, we
have failed. 30 far, lo note the name
of a slnglo newspaperman In t1
stnte who ha.l made any Investmen
with them. The newsprint bnrons
have taken all the ready cash of thp
country newsrapermnn, and his re
course Is about on par with those
v. ho placed confidence In Kthrldge's

Since the Hungarian throne has

106 N. Parrott St., Hoh burp Oro.
Dec. 2'J. 1I20.
To tlie Kditnr, Ncwh-K-'vIiw :
In your Ihmuo or Dec. zin up
p.ar.d an llt'iii, uIko an xiitorinl. in
which you have nr-avnr-t lo xposo
the BrhmiiH of one Mr. Vand.'il.oif in
rietruring aclv'TttscincntH and iu!
srrintloriH from Ihe bUttincHH men ami
foult of KoseburE, for the J'aciric
CoaHt Mlal TraoVa Worker.
InuHiniich ax I was one of th' ftipn
era of the creoVnl tain used by Mr.
VanderhofT, and Mr. McWad In thoir
Kollclfutinn, I U' it is my duty to
explain to the buHihesH mm and pro
pie of KofH-bure what X know In re
gard to this maluT.
I wlnh lo say that I, prnnally.
ennnot accept the li.fnrimit.fm of your
iKHiie of the 28th an true, until mich
(tine aa I am eivon evidence from
our Mat labor boclloa, to whom 1 am
writing for informal!. n.
I feel that these men, both mem
bora of the International Afwochitlon
of MachliiiHtd, were enrnoHlly trying
in brine about a better feeling be-
tw?en the working men and biiHiness
non of Itoaeburg, one thing that ha
heretofore been foremoHt in retard-
ng the best interents of .uty com
munity. And I think, from recent
onvrrHatlonB at the shops her, and
iIho from our open meeting held lire.
Ird, that they have accomplished
hfn end In a great measure. I be-
leve alno that the btmini'sn men of
Koseburg have lost nothing through
heir BdvertiBementB In this paper.
hut rather think It will be a net gain
for them. This paper having been
published for more than a year, with
good circulation, I do not believe
will terminate In a "wildcat"
proposition.
This, like a number of other work-
ng men a papers, gives more do-
ailed news on the true conditions of
he working men than do any of the
irosn asportation papers, whith will
n.'iUe tho business men to obtain a.
ter understanding of tho working
lien's conditions.
Aa to the "moral" of your rdl-
torinl, I would like to sk If most of
the business men of Koseburg have
not patronized your paper as much
as can he expected? Ion't you think
It fair that they chould also adver
tise in a paper that Is circulated all
along the coast? I believe that this
will be a boost to Kosehurg, and us
for the paper, let us wait till It goes
to the wall before we draw conclu
sions. KefH not be selfish an af
fliction that has reached all of us
and the foundation of all unrest, for
after all, we are only here on this
earth lo make a living.
As to the character of Ihe men, nil
that I have heard thru men who are
personally acquainted with them, is
that they are conservative, respect
ful and persistent workers.
Ileing neither a writer nor an ora
tor, 1 do not wish to go further with
this article, but as I was personally
Involved in the credentials men-
tinned, I have done my best and hope
all who read this will understand
how I fee! a! tout It.
Yours sincerely,
W. U MO KM.

would like to ask Mr. Moen lo kindly
furnish this office with a copy of the
answer lo his communication sent to
state labor hendunrterfl, that it may

Decline in Prices !
The Telephone Company lias asked ils patrons in Oregon to pay more
for their telephone service. Jt has placed the facts and tijjures of the situ
ation before the Puhlic Service Commission for their investigation and
verification. The increases will not amount to much to individual subscrib
ers, but the affgretfiile will permit the Company to rvoperly maintain and
develop its service.
We have shown the Commission that we are operating at a loss. Our
expenses are jrivater than our earnings. Tlie owners of the property arc
receiving nothing for their Oregon investment nnd the interest due on
debts which should properly be borne by the Oregon properties are not
being paid from Oregon receipts.
At the hearing before tho Public Service Commission not a fact or
figure presented by the Company was disputed or disproved. The only
material contention made was that increases were perhaps inopportune in
view of the apparent decline in general commodity prices.
The Company is asking for a reasonable return upon its existing in
vestment, without regard to tho uncertainties of the future. The Company
files periodical reports of its operations with public minorities and its
future investments will be tlie subject of constant consideration and future
adjustments, if necessary.
Salaries and wages make up 72 per cent of our current expenses. We
hope they will not be reduced and do not think they should be.
In the live years 191 6-1 920, inclusive, we have increased the wages of
our plant people $307,000.00. Our traltic (operating) emplovces ?C,81-,
000.00, commercial employees, $98,000.00, a total of $l,08(i,00().00 per an
num. F.llicient nnd contented employees mean good service. It is their due
and ouf desire that their compensation be equal to that paid in other lines
of business activity. -
Adequate service is dependent upon adequate rates. -' ' ' -
