If only candidates for the legislature would do
what they promise, and if elected vote to abolish
47 commission and reduce Oregon's high cost of
living, perhaps but why yearn for the impossible.
A non-partisan tariff commission is a good thing
and we are glad that President Wilson favors it,
even if he had to change his mind to do so. Dur
ing a hundred years of tariff making, political
parties have used it as a pawn to advance their
own interests and to draw campaign contributions
from corporations. It is time that the tariff was
framed solely for the benefit of the country.
Lamar Tooze, who was a guest of Henry Ford
on the recent peace mission, has returned home
and is frightened for the safety of his country.
I feel uneasy when I think of our small army.
he says, Holland, has an army of 400,000 men
and I sincerely believe that Holland could lick
us." After learning how Lamar felt about it, we
became uneasy also and commenced to learn the
Dutch language thinking that it would come in
handy after our country had become a vassal state
of Holland's. Later, we remembered that another
military authority, General Miles, late com
mander of the forces of the United States, recently
said that if this country could not raise men in
short order to drive out an army of a million in
vaders he wTould want to leave it, and it relieved
us very much, we no longer sliake and the study
of the Dutch vocabulary has been abandoned.
