Our Cash System enables us to beat city prices. There is hardly anything we cannot do. Toe Bristow, former U. S. Senator from Kansas and now chairman of the Public Utilities Com mission of that state, has this to say concerning the present "situation" in Washington: "Never except at inauguration times, have the hotels in Washington been so jammed as now. Hundreds of contract , ors, salesmen and manufacturers besiege tne departments ana special ooaras in desperate efforts to get their share, and more, of the seven billions which Con gress has authorized to be spent in carry ing on the war. There are hundreds of lobbyists who are for war and high taxes, but who want to get out of paying their share, or as much of it as they can. There are hundreds of railroad officials and experts who want to drive thru a 15 percent increase in freight rates. Hun dreds of others are applicants for civil appointments or commissions in the arm)r or navy. Altogether they make a grand rush of visiting patriots, heroes, economists, statesmen, experts, grafters and all manner of men ana women." While Mr. Bristow has been denounced as a traitor by the kept press and revenue patriots, it is well that the country has a number of men of standing with courage enough to call a spade a spade even in wartime. Germany can be whipped just as well and perhaps sooner if our government takes drastic and quick action to free itself from the tentacles of the graft bunch. I the food speculators are jailed or hung, wealth made to pay its rightful proportion of the ex penses or tne war ana criticism ot government acts and officials is freely permitted, the war wil find more favor with the people. There is no de nying the fact that there is considerable "anti war sentiment in the country, a portion of which at least, is caused by the conditions mentioned above prevailing at the present time.

The Columbia Highway is to be com pleted first. The remainder of the state voted "no" by over ten thousand. The eight Valley counties, despite Yamhill's 1200, went against it by over seven thousand. The measure carried because there was a light vote in the rural dis tricts iust as the Portland boomers figured it out when June 4 was selected for the day of election To prove this, one only has to look at the returns from Baker county. There a recall brought out a good sized vote and that county turned down the bond bill by 1600. "The big newspapers caused this war; now let them help pay for it," is the trank admission of several members of Congress. Of course every interest, whom Congress proposes to tax, has representatives in Washington trying to shift the burden. to some one else, but none has the power ot the Dig newspapers wnen it comes 10 influenc ing Congress, and they may escape. However, the big newspapers should pay and the little ones in proportion for fifty percent of the little fellows act ouly as faint echos of the big fellows.
