PIlOMN'a JAPANESE PIIOULKM. FAMILIES AND FIRESIDES (Pendleton Tribune) According to Stone and Webster, there were 23.29i.887 families In ex istence in the United State In 191C, aud the number of dwellings In the country numbered 20.263,051. lu 1920 there were 26.619.443 families rind 20400.000 dwellings. While families liuve been increasing In a healthy manner, showing an Increase of 2,026.656 in the period covered, the number of dwellings has In creased but 636.949. Dwellings, we assume, mean places of all kinds where families live without the con veniences that are called "modern," From these figures It seems plain that If the country was caught up on its housing facilities in 1916, thai, it Is now short a million to a million and a half of houses. Pittsburg is reported 10,000 houses short, and city .ot in Oregon, than In most any SuUu'a. ,np..on other part It is the Arcadia such a count i Iia limtiA ai 150-day reserve Uut' home endears any country; "t" 'f nrwU.'-la that the and the man., who. by example or Jli "P"" Pwm in-come less teaching can he.p to " , , " wur .way. hut ad to maintain of Mie liuWlaDle wonu, ;-- " ..Ih.ul(i. these of America, aud In , " -"," T" fou, 0ys ry It I. easy to look upon i are .

The attractive homes of Oregon ilniost exclude the idea of rcverty. In the use of gasoline both for pleasure and com mercial uses. New processes which extract more gasoline from the crude oil are nowti eing Installed at the company's large refineries at Rich mond and Kl Segundo and these "l Increase the gasoline supply of the future. ' tee on Immigration and naturallza tlon, at Stockton, Cat., Friday, Impos sible expectations were raised of Jap anese assimilation into the Ameri can population, says the Spokane Re view. That the Japanese are a fine race and a superior people is freely granted. In some respects Americans could be taught by sheen to America's advantage notably In industry, pa tience, thrift and manners But when ail that and more is granted the fact remains that a wide, deep gulf of racial differences sep arates the two people. They have almost nothing in common In his tory, religion, literature, art and mu sic, and therefore none ot the usual points ot contact that are so essen tial to harmonious and effective amalgamation. Mr. Suzuki, president of the Jap anese association ot Stockton, dt plored the fact that a chasm divides his people socially from the Ameri can populati n. The Japanese, he said, felt keenly the discriuilnatiok against them. But the discrimination Is mutual, and little blame attaches to either race, tor its manifestation springs frcm conditions that are beyond con trol. Moreover, the failure of our people to take the Japanese into close association does not spring from at assumption of superiority, but from an instinctive apprehension that it is not best fqr either nation that the people of one country should eml grate in unassimilable numbers to the other country. Proof that no racial antipathy ex ists among Americans against the Japanese individual is fou -.d in the fact, that where Japanese appear singly or in small numbers they are freely accorded tho such recognition as their personal attainments merit Until they began to come to the Pa cific cpast in large numbers their students in our colleges and univer sities were made much oi ar.d even lionized. The facts of the matter are so cleai and demonstrable, the need so ap parent of friendly relations between the two countries, that the exercise ot good spirit and tact at Washing ton and Tokyo should bring about a mutually satisfactory and beneficial understanding. . JAZZING JUSTICE Some male grouches, who years ago quit caring whether chickens wore silk or feathers, opposed wo man's suffrage because it would re sult in women Juries, and that would make such patriotic du.y unsupport able to the earnest citizens who orna ment the professional Jury lists over the land These pessimists were unduly op pressed over idle dreams. The advent of women to the courts, their presence as Jurors, and even as bailiffs and minor court officials, has greatly relieved the tedium of for mer musty Judicial processes. Item: After i long aid ex haustive trial in Tacoma ihe Jur ors and court attaches concl'it? ed their deliberations with a Jazz dance. Five women and nme men formed the party; nfter the court cessioi. the room was cleared, Justice, so to speak, was given a harp and a slat buck, seats were snovaa as.de, a phonograph with abundance of Jazt records, was secured, and the party merrily considered the meriu of the testimony, and evidence, betweon the lively numbers of a long and lively aance program, Such Incidents as this; such an ointing or tno pale brow of Justice witn tne olive oil of gladness, such Inspirational anecdc.es. lrdeed in spire relunti-nt ones to do the.dut as Jurors, and, with a Jazz band the great national problem of securing competent jurors, eager-to-osbscrve, win ue soivea.

WHY RADICA1 -ISM FAILS applause that The responsive greeted me iranK and courageous words of H. S. McCuskev to the Washington State Federation of La- Dor is an indicant that a large part of the membership has no use for rea radicalism. Mr. McCluskey, who is executive board member for tho mine, mill and smelter workers, state incontrovertible historic facts when he said: The Knights of Labor 60 years ago had many of tho planks put out now by the radical elements of this country Can you point to a single legislative enactment for the betterment of the working classes as the result of their ex istence? The American Railway union sought to destroy. There Is nothing on the books today of that which Debs find his follow ers sought. Not only that. The futile move ments discussed by Mr. McCluskey set back the cause of trades unionism, leaving the organizations weakened, discouraged and in broken up. The weakness and the evil of radi calism 1b Its autocratic, arbitrary, un fair and despotic spirit. That spirit is In conflict with the genius of America. The American neonla will invariably turn against it, whether it birthplace of patriotism and virtue. .1.,.! t.lUUU It..,, Ltd 1 return of peace has not materialized says the Stone and Webster Journal. And then there follows this comment: "Why should it? The wages which the building trades are receiving are almost prohibitive and they are de manding still more, so that no eon. tractor will take a lump sum con tract. Building materials have ad vanced not the 25 per cent Intimat ed in the case ot the landlord as bo ing profiteeringly high but 100 per cent or more, and no one will say that the end is yet in sight. The wide contrasts between the number of families and the supply of firesides is surely lamentable, but there is little to indicate that there is any probability ot relief In sight The law ot supply and demand has evidently been upset by price-fixing, profiteering, and too much regulat ing by the government, ana pernaps after awhile new roosts will be cre ated for homeless heads. THIRD PARTY PROGRAM. " Tho third party la launched and Steam up. As was expected Its plat form provides tor "socialization" of industries as far as possible. Government ownership and political control of all public utilities and nat ural resources, including large abat toirs, stockyards, grain elevators, water powers, cold storage and term inal warehouses, railroads, mines, oil lands, pipelines, and tanks, telegraph and telephone lines Is demanded. A general program of government money loaning to individuals or groups is advocated as well as certain forms of single tax. Taken as a whole the platform Is a direct attack on our whole Industrial system as developed ty private cap ital and individual initiative. While the platform declares for "100 per cent Americanism," rtnd de- GAS SHORTAGE CAUSED BY HUGE CONSUMPTION RIVERSIDE CONFECTIONER!

Ntamlnrt Oil Hays Only 9 Per Cent Inrrtiuut In Production for Treble The Number of Ours. That the gasoline shortage on the Pacific coast is due to Increased con sumption, which has outdistanced ev ery effort to increase production, and not to artificial efforts to limit pro duction, is sot forth in a bulletin Just issued by the Standard Oil company, says the Cottage Grove Sentinel. The comprny shows that while there ure now on the Pacific coast about three cars and eight tructora where there was but one of eaoh five years ago, gasoline production lias Increase only moderately during the same par- iod. The dally output of the crude oil wells ot California Is 274,000 bar rels now, as compared with 260.000 during 1915, an increase of but 24.- 000 barrels, or 9 per cent. The es timated gasoline consumption for the Pacific coast for 1920 is placed at 300,000,000 gallons, as compared to 94 000,000 gallons in 1919. The company is Importing stocks of crude oil from the fields of the INDUSTRIAL MrTKH In 1918, 14 5,583 cords of hemlock pulpwood and 35.385 rords of spruce were consumed In Washington.

Acute gasoline and fuel oil shortage is now faced by the entire country for the same reasons ' which are now causing it here.

PROPAGATING, NVR8ING, FKKIJTXC1 The press of Puget Sound Is warn 'r.g the public that the salmon In dustry is becoming extinct from over fishing and underprouction. By nursing and feeding the fry from the state, federal and private hatcheries the Columbia river pack of salmon is increasing. By neglecting to develop the mil lions ot small fish hatched, employ ing no feeding ponds, Puget Sound fisheries are falling. For Instanco the salmon pack in the Columbia river increased fron. 225,000 cases in 1913 to 600,000 cases In 1917. The Puget Sound In dustry decreased from 3,000,000 cases in 1913 to 42,000 cases in 1917. The salmon Industry in Puget Sound Is practically wiped out due to wrong methods of artificial propaga tion in use In the hatcheries in Wash ington. . The Increase in the industry in th Columbia river has been due to hold ing, the young fish for a year before releasing them. By the time thi. salmon Is a year old It is better fitted to protect itself ana by marking the young fish It is found that a greater aer cent of them return to their home waters than those kept a shorter period. The packers have met the Increased expense in keeping the fish for a longer time and the Oregon system lias been approved by almost every irgonizatlon interested in the wel faro of the Industries The Mist sorrows at the death of Sheriff Til Taylor of Pendleton. It sorrows because of the loss of a good citizen, a brave officer who knew no fear In the discharge- of his duties, and because of the Dasslns of a gentleman and public spirited man whose oath of office wan wn Irani Taylor died with his boots on and he did not flinch. It was the priv ilege of the editor of the Mist to he an acquaintance of Til Taylor, and we unew we met a man when we met the deceased sheriff. , . TTIPT Tr TTrtOTTw 1 !.
