AVlipat wi?llirhig the high
the Uiutd iStatcs goveniiiicjitdiitriii'tcd with the tanners
for the crop at a Hlipulutcd price. This contract, Jike all
ij her government contracts, whoiild he. kept and we believe
it wi1J bekpf to the letter. m '
. Then the .question ai-ises, what will 1'hnir Hell for ? A
very important piet;tion to the hundred nullum people of
the notion. 'iShall the J'loirr prices he based on the high
ju ice of" wheat or shall 4 he price of flour go to a competi tive
basis and the government stand the loss of the differ
ence the wheat will Hell for on the market and the war
price set by the government during the war. There is no
good reason why flour prices should remain exorbitant,
and there is every reason why the government should pav
outright the difference between the market price of wheat
and the war guaranteed price.
Consumers are to he considered. Hut, you may say.
the people have to pay the difference, anyway, and that is
true. .But the people should not be compelled to pay it in
the extreme high price of flour.
This government has a handsome loss account already
from mismanaged war work and lax methods, and the dif
ference which' the wheat deal will pile up in the loss col
umn will he no greater than Rome of the other venture
of which far less has been mentioned.
It will be a crime lor either political party in order t"
save its face,' or in an attempt to nave its face, to plaster on
the flour consumer an addit ioual price for the staff of life
which is not justified.
THE LATEST
Congressman Alann was
house of representatives, lie appeared as a good loser ai d
all seemed lovely. Hut Mann is crafty and with his crafti
ness he,got through a resolution ordering that a man from
each of the different states be named on the committee on
committees, whoso duty it is to select the committees for
the next house. When it all shook out Mann has about
thirty of his men on the committee and proceeded to name
committees that suited him. It would look as though the
Republican congress had been gypjmd at tins starting
place, but it will probably find a way to overcome this
latest "Maim act."

THERE WAS OPPOSITION TO
thclTIIE FEDERAL CONSTITUTION
(From the New
Former 1'icsiik'iit Tali, at the Mc
ti'iipoliturf tipcra house nicotine, an
swerod the legal and nationalistic oil
jeetions that have been ndvnnciMl
'against the constitution of the League
ol Nations. i'lcsidcnt Wilson pre
sented the moral and intei national
case for the proposed covenant. Sel
dom has an issue of such vast import
ance to the future of mankind been
dealt with so adequately by its chum
pions.
When President Wilson, however.
said that ho was "puzzled by some of,
tho criticisms" "by the fact of the
criticism" he must have forgotten for
the. mcnneiit that he was a historian
before he iicoanio u statesman. Tin,1
crii.ii isms ol' the constitution of the
League of Nations do not differ in
1 hid from the criticisms cf the-constitution
of the .Uj)Us'l,S4nJeB, when, It
was before tho states lor ratification
in 1788.
The Lodges and the Knoxcs, the
Borahs and the Reeds,' Ihe .Shermans
and the Thomases of that generation
were an vociferous, as clamorous and
as vohemeiit in antagonizing the con
stitution of the United States as are
their successors in antagonizing the
constitution of (he League of Nations.
They conjured up the same fears and
the same doubts, the same tyrannies
and the same oppressions. Nothing
Uas changed except the name of the
inslrument that is assailed.
Tho 'coiislilut ion of i'i87 was a thing
of terror to thousands of honest and
well-moaning American.-. Hi very pre
anilile was a revolution, accortlini;; to
Patrick Henry, who demanded to. know
by what right the convcniioii spoke
' the langu-iue of We, the J,
stead of 'Wc, the states.
'it is an j
aristocracy and was intended to be to
by tlte fraioers of it," he said.
Senator Lodge is no more insolent
trday about, the paramount duly of the
peace conference to confine itself to
the bale (Uestion of terms to (iernuiny
than Patrick Henry was in regard to
the fundamental mistake of the con
vention of 1787. As he'iloH-lared to the
Virginia convention:
The i'eiH-l-al convention ought to
have amended the old system; for
this pui'iHise they were solely dele
gated; the object of their e.iissi ,;i
-extended to no other eo:i ,i loca
tion. Whc.ii Philander I'. Knov of Penn
sylvania eo!nplains about the language
of the constitution of the League oi
Natjon-J, we are reminded of anotliee
Knov who told the Mns-arhi: tts d"le

Senator Borah's notion that he would

the Hon. Mr. White Who sail'
that
We ought to he jealous of rul
ers. All the godly men we read
j, , of. had failed; nayt he would not
trust a flock of Moseses. '
Nor was President Wilson a .whit
more disloyal to the American people
in the opinion of Senator Poindexter
than were Washington and Franklin
and Hamilton and Madiuon in the
upinion.of Tredwell of New York:
In this constitution, sir, we have
departed widely from the princi
ples and political faith of 7i,
when the spirit of liberty ran high
nnd danger put a curb on ambi
tion. Here wo find no security
for the right of individuals, no se
curity for the existence of our
state ifovernmenta. . . . Sir, in
this constitution we have not only
nej,'le( ted we have done worse
we have openly violated our faith
--that is, our public faith.
Is there a .solitary senator who is
more coeksure as to the unconstitu-
tionality of the I.cairuo of Nations
than General Thompson of Massachu
setts was in rental to the unconstitu
tionality of the constitution itself?
Compare the senate speeches with his:
The convention were sent on to
Philadelphia to amend this con
federation, hut they made a new
cieatm-p; and the very setting out
of it is .unconstitutional.
And what did Smith tell the Nrw
York ennvention abont that noble ami
au.i'ust institution, the senate of the
Uuite;l States?
fan, the liherites, ol :i.O(H),000
people be seeurely trusted in the
h.-nds of twenty-four men? Is
it prudent, to commit to so small a
number the decision of the'irreat
que;tiins which shall come before
them? Reason revolts at the idea.
ct we have maimed to survive
e.vep a si ifnte of ninety-six men. Rut
Smah of New York was an optimisl
in compared with Kawlins I.owndes of
South Catvlin.i, who confided the.
opinions o the convention of his slate
On the whole, this was the best
preparatory plan for a monarchi
cal government lie had read. The
con-itituli.nl of Croat llritnin he
considered the best - monarchical
one he hail ever perused: and this
new govrrnnient came so near to
it that, as our charni.ig from a re
.public to a monarchy, it was what
everybody must naturally expect.
How easy thf transition! No dif

for this appointment. .The sen--nie

the one will destroy the othe:
Is it to be supposed that one na
tional government will suit so ex
tensive a country, embracing so
many climates and containing in-'
habitants so very different in
manners, habits and customs? It
it ascertained by history that there
never was a very extensive coun
try without destroying the liber
tics of the people.
How reminiscent of the recent de
bates in the senate on the League of
of Nations!
Senator Lodge's opinion of the ex
ecutive council of the League of Na
tions seems tb have originated with:
Mr. Jones of Bristol, who confided to:
the Massachusetts convention that-
By this power to regulate elec-
tions congress might keep them
selves in to all duration. !
Major Kingsley had similar fears,
for he told the Massachusetts conven !
tion that . t
Congress may equally oppress
the people because we cannot call
them to account, considering that
there is no annual election, no ro
tation, no power to recall them
provided for.
As for the ultimate fate of th
American people, .this is how it wa
visualized by Mr. Symmcs of Massa
chusetts:
For, sir, I also disapprove of the
power to collect which is here
vested in congress. It is a power,
sir, to burden us with a standing
army of ravenous collectors har
pies, perhaps, from another state,
but who, however, were never
known to have bowels for any pur
pose but to fatten on the life
blood of the people. In an age or .
two, and when the congress shall
become tyrannical, these vultures,
their servants, will be the tyrants
of the village by whose presence
all freedom of speech and action
will be taken away.
The record might run on indefinite
ly; but how consistent with the senate
objection to the constitution of the
League of Nations was Mason's oh ice-
tion to the constitution of the United j
States to the Massachusetts dele -

STATEMENT ASTO POLICIES .
;. ' OF GOVERNOR-OlXOXT
1 ! ! . .
hi assuming the duties of governor,
I nm keenly appreciative. o the un
usual responsibilities devolving upon
the office of chief executive because of
tho reconstruction period now before
us. In my opinion this is a time when
there is as great need for a vigdVoui
flow of patriotism-mid loyalty as when
v'e were Hcndinif thousands of our
boys overseas to fight for the cause of
lilterty.
Time after time, under the leader
chip of our laic governor, Oregon hws
demonstrated the depth of hpr patriot
ism by her splendid record in furnish
ing her manhood, in subscribing for
Liberty loans, the Red Cross, and oth ¬
er war activities. Those records wer
made possible because the people of
the state learned to pull together in a
common cause as they had never don11
before.
The many serious problems inci
dent to this time of reconstruction
enn be solved with credit to the state
if we can have the same oneness of
purpose, the .same sort of co-operation
by patriotic citizens, the same
rort of willingness to subjugate selfish
interests for ihe good of a great cause
as Oregon fins displayed throughout
tins war period,
Tor, the pake of the well-being of
this state, I feel that this united sup
port should be given to the governor
regardless of the individual who mighf
occupy the office of chief executive.
This is no time for the display of fac
tional strife.. It is no time for put
ting politics nbove patriotism. It is n
time for all of us to put our shoulder?
to the wheel for the good of common
cause.
It is a time for Ore-gun to forge
ahead. The legislature has provided
for a big road-building program. Thel"
people will soon have opportunity to""'" "liB UK m Le
express their opinion oi a commend
able reconstruction program. I be
lieve the people, on June 5, will ap
prove the reconstruction bond issue.
It is important that they should. They
ought to lend impetus to private en
terprise. It ought to encourage capi-
nl-to seek opportunity to connect up
with industry. And if some employ
ment is provided by the expenditure
of public funds until industry again
catches its breath and hits a stride in
step with the times, the most urgent.
and immediate crisis of the recon
struction period will have been
bridged.
It shall be my endeavor to encour
age industry to the fullest extent of
my power, and to use the influence of
this office to promote that harmony
and fairness between employer and
employe that are necessary for indus
trial success and a happy citizenship.
There is to be no upheaval in the
state government, caused by the re
moval of appointees and their re
placement with new appointees. I
shall expect business efficiency from
all departments ind positions coming
under the jurisdiction of the governor.
I shall expect each appointee to give
the state the same conscientious ser
vice which would be' required of him
if he were in private employment. If
there are any who cannot do this,
they will be given opportunity to find
employment elsewhere. In these mat
ters 1 do not expect to deviate from
the policy which I have consistently
followed while serving as secretary of

Governor of Oregon.
LABOR CONDITIONS REVIEWED.
Having traveled in the last six
weeks all states in the union except
those of the southeast, Henry N.
Teague, field agent for the United
States department of labor, reports to
the information and education service
that industrial and labor" conditions
show a mnrked improvement during
the last sixty days. This results, in
Mr. Teague's opinion, from the fiict
that state and municipal authorities
have come to appreciate the necessity
for buffer employment for labor and
the possibilities ef stimulating busi
ness through extensive public improve
ments. 1 Mr. Teague has traveled, during tho
last six weeks, from Boston to San
Francisco, and from Seattle to New
Orleans, calling on all the governors
and on the mayors of the principal
cities and carrying a personal messmre
to them from Secretary of Labor Vil-
Jon. 'When asked to state his out
standing impression "from hi3 trips,
Mr. Teague said:
"There is to he a great deal of pub
lic building during the next six
months, and -I am convinced the pub
lie improvements program for 1919
will( equal that of any five years Jn
the country's history and the road
building activities from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, once under, way, are to
be tremendous.
I have been much surprised to find
r"1 OI improvement worK in me
cr nn m ine .
fact that the west needs more improve
ments than the cast. It is newer coun
try. The governors and mayors of the
west, almost without exception, rea
lize the prudence of going in for pub
lic improvements as a source of buf
fer employment for'labor and a means
of stimulating general business. The
west, too, is much interested in recla
mation and is anxious to make land,
heretofore arid and- waste, available
and suitable for farming by such for
mer soldiers as wish to go back to tho
soil. '
"Most of the governors of the neri
cultural states," Mr. Teague said, ''are
anxious to get men from the army to
settle in their states. This is because
they believe the army represents the
best manhood and brains of the coun
try and-if the respective states can ab
sorb Boldiers, the governors believe
the states will get the highest type
of citizens and the best blood of the
nation."
Mr. Teague says there is much criti
cism in the west of the federal govern
ment's failure to go ahead with its
own building operations. In many lo
calities federal buildings, for which
sites, plans and appropriations were ,
had before the war, are now held up
because the original appropriat:ons
will not cover present construction '
costs on the buildings desired. Mr.
Teague says in such localities there is
resentment over the fact that the gov
ernment has not been granted addi-'
tional money to carry on these build
ing activities and the fact that this
has not been done is exerting a harm
ful influence on many private inter
ests which feel that if it is prudent
lor the government to refrain from
building at this time, it also is pru-
lont for the. private interests to follow
the pame course.
"There are more building activities
in New Orleans than in any other citv
