Twenty-five hundred dollars for
little over half an acre of unculti
vated Clackamas county land. This
is the price paid by Sam Jackson,
editor of the Portland Journal last
week for 66-100 of in acre known as
the old hatchery site.
sacrifices necessary to the success of
the government's gigantic war pro
gram.
The wealthy editor of the Portland
Journal needed the little tract as an
addition to his beautiful summer
home at Clear Creek, where he and
his coterie of wealthy Portlanders
wile away their week-ends— far from
the busy whirl of city life.
“ The financial situation is well In
hand and the machinery for grant
ing credit is ample. No essential en
terprises need fear that they will
not be taken care of for their sea
sonal needs, but all non-essential en
terprises will be brought to under
stand that the government needs the
i credit w hich it is using and the labor
which It is employing: the adjust
ment will be brought about gradu
ally so as to create as little hardship
as possible.
The purchase was nobody's busi
ness except Mr. Jackson's, of course,
and yet the transaction calls for
some casual observations which may
or may not be pertinent.
Mr. Jackson is the self-proclaimed
guardian of the interests of the strug

laboring man, if his editorial p^ge in

and carrying the banner at the head
of the parade. So reads the Jourral
editorial page.
Asked for his opinion upon the
current state of affairs in the Cnited
States in connection with the war
Ahdefson said:
“ The people of the country must
realize that they cannot give the I
government the power to purchase
the things it needs and retain that
purchasing power themselves.
“ Much more stern economy must
“be practiced, otherwise the govern
