We cannot escape entirely the bitter fruits of a war founded in govermental system where Monarchy, Paternalism, Public Ownership and Autocracy go hand in hand. Now as never before we have opportunity to compare American Ideals end methods with those practiced in Europe, and to measure what American systems and Institutions have gained for humanity. Protably we will learn more and more each day of the coming year to the coming year to appreciate kall we have and are," to regard our citizenship In a more precious light, to see our problems more clear ly, more tolerantly. Tl ' war has made material rogress difficult through out the United States. It has added to the obstacles of financing constructive effort. It has enforced ec eonomics upen the large nd small; has laid on tht. ihelf plana for many de- irable things. Tr mperity in this country uring the coming year demands above everything . Ue faitv in our Republic and faith between man snd man. It cannot be l ad tu suspicion and distrust. If this military calamity teaches us a deeper and more useful patriotism; if it serves the advance un derstanding among us of one another's rights and wrongs; if it removes prej udices and strikes down distrust then this war will not be without benefit to the citizens of the Uni ted StnUs. We hope for prosperity the coming year. To have it will require hard work, courage and ftilh in ourselves. OREGON POWER COMPANY A. L. MARTIN, Manager Our Ad. P a IS ! y
