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

The admlrl.ig historians of the dis

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

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.

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-

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

In 1918, 14 5,583 cords of hemlock
pulpwood and 35.385 rords of spruce
were consumed In Washington. Ore

Hairy cows of Tillamook county
received the highest ruthig In the
Northwest In tests made by Washing
ton State college. An average of
08 pounds of milk per cow per
month whs made by 762 cows of this
county.
The upper Hood River valley,
which has been noted for several
years for Its seed potatoes. Is now
producing large quantities of clover
seed. One farmer has Just harvested
49 bushels from 11 sires and uiiotti
r 110 bushels from 40 acres. The
seed sells at 120 a bushel.

only partial and temporary relief for
the situation. Acute gasoline and
fuel oil shortage is now faced by the
entire country for the same reasons '
which are now causing it here. Tliw
shortage in the eust has not yet been
felt because ot reserve stokes ac-1

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
