Bomo time ago Mr. McAdoo 1- - 'fined an order that no railroad man Should tako part iu the - country 'a politics. At the Unto lilt)"' hcod was paid to tho order, -for fro (luenlly men in now Jobs, such s Mr. McAdoo has lind thrust upon hint, issue oidors which later on Rio ircsclndud. But now it is understood thiil the ordor was issued In a serious moment and that tho railroad dlr , ector lutcnds to stick by it. Ku Creator wrong could lio ilono tile boys who oporuto rallrouils. To Jiarlliilly dlsfranchlsu all ronnerted with tho railroad sytluiti of thlsl country is an act that should cotu niand tho must deliberate consid eration, and with that deliberation no' juch order would stand, for II ia a matter of commgn knowledge that men who operate railroads liuvo intelligence nnd have the country's good as imich at heart as any other class of citizens. Wo are charitable enough to bo- lino that Mr. McAdoo clthur felt l'c was firmly in tho right or thai he wag Indulging In a political movement which ho thought would tit ouco meet with popular accord and discredit any pomlhlo slate merit that the Democratic patty was building a huso pollliral niarlilnc. If he folt lie was right he hut . bt to reconsider the matter mid Bet tho gonoral public expression net from railroad operators'1 nut from the publlo who patronize Hli'o transportation lines. If be felt It ,"as a good political stroke be was 'ilslakon, for he will Iobb both ways If the order Is based on that issue, - ' This is no time , to talk politics itnd the Observer fetuses to enter into the political phase of the mat er. But wo do contend we have t right, knowing the railroad men on the Union Pacific, and knowing many of them in a personal way, to say that the order Is unjust and nfair, and if euforeed wlll; boat drwit a splondld class of citizens and make of thorn men shorn' of their vested rights as - American citizens. ' TU Ink it ovor, Mr. McAdpo und reconsider this hasty piece of work. NEPAItlOlS IMTIAT1VB It! 1X8. C. S. Jackson, -publisher of the Prrtland Journnl, ' and leading sin glo . tax advocate of Oregon, has initiated, two bills to be voted upon ul tho general election, . says the b'llem Journal.' : One of these bills rtpculs the tlollnqirent tax publi cullon law and the other sets tho nrlce for printing legal notices, tn Oregon, outside of Portland, where Mr. Jackson prints a ' paper'aiid elulms the right to charge any rate ho pleases. . .' It Is qulto gene-rally presumed that Mr. Jackson initiated tht0 bills bocnuoo the country nowmia pore of tho state offended bin,; by J cpposlng the .single tax measures which have from time to time ap peared on tho ballot. It may be, however, that abstractors, who thrlvo oa mixed titles, court house claim scalpels und speculators' in delinquent tax certificates, raised a fund to persuade the Portland Journal to espouse thoir causo, ' It must have cost a considerable sum of money to pay petition -circular tors . and other oxponsos incurred la the' initiation of tho bills The taxpayers generally desire l.'ie publication of tho delinquent tax list becuuse It is a businesslike way of doing business. ' It gives ovorybody full 'notice, stlmulatos tux puymonts, protocls than tux- pnyer in all his rights, and enables tho county to finally close its books each' year with ho ovor-hanglng delinquencies. In. Marlon county, fqr Instinct),. we do practically a million dollars or public business' each year col: kcl that amount in taxes and (lib linrso it In vnrlous ways. Tho do- llmjuont puhllcatlon here In two papers usually costs . iibout '$600 or $300 to each pupor. What pri vate corporation doing a mllllou t'nlliira of business annually would nut bo glad to rloso up Us books and turn over . a new loaf at the end of tho year for an expouso of JtiOO?. . , Moruovor, this exponso doou not lull upon tho taxpayers gouorjtTT but upon tlio duliqiient taxpayers who must Toot the advertising bill. It Is also a protection to tho ttiv Eminent, worth all it costs, 1)0-, cause it gives the full puotoctlon'pl publicity under a system by which iliu tu. Hon shark cannot buy pro- roily In tlu dark and put him to lorious trouble and expense. The Jackson method, as proposed in the rffnrlous bill ho has Initiated, is n the Interest only of the specula or. It is worse, if possible, than the single tax measures ho bus bo oltcn attempted to saddlo upon tho land owners of Oregon. THAI Kll'lt KM K BICXCH. Willi Conrad I".

WAR-RIDDEN EUROPE NEEDS WAR SERVICE AMIOUICAX WfXI-'ARE AMHOCIA TIONS VITALLY CONNKOTKD WITH ltECONSTItUCTION (By Rhota Childe Dorr.) A big contribution which the United Slates had made to our f'ghtlng allies is the war service work among the troopB of tho na tions affiliated with America. Nona of the war service organizations was known in France or Italy un til wo came Into the war. Beforo the war ends they will be as fam iliar thero as they ure here.
