B. Gmvoly Tobacco G Panvill*, Virginia Infantrymen of the A. E. F.. marching down the famous Champs Elvsees In Paris, find their hearts warming to the quick and heartfelt enthusiasm of our ally. The Fourth Liberty Loan will send »cores of other regiments to receive j the bouquets and smiles of Mile Parislenne and fight shoulder to shoulder with her most voliunt husband and brother. A share of the banking business of Stayton and vicinity KEEP HIM ON THE RUN. Our armies have been steadily forcing the Germans hack. On those o f us at home rests the duty of keeping a never ending stream of supplies pouring to the front. Now is the time to redouble our efforts and never give the enerav a chance to catch his breath. An over-subscription of the Fourth Liberty Loan may be the blow from which the Huns will never recover. Lets give it to them double, one defeat after another at the front and one Liberty Loan after another at home. While we have him on the run never give him a chance to make another stand. Do your part, buy to the limit. Why all this fuss from the Port land Journal concerning advertise ment rates for newspapers, and the delinquent tax publication? Why these two measures on the ballot at the general election, bear ing the bold salutation: “ Initiated by C. S. Jackson and R. W. Hagood.’ ’ W hy Messrs. Jackson & Hagood? For weeks Editor Jackson has been raging over his two pet meas ures. For weeks the editorial page of the Journal has literally run red with * murderous attack on two Oregon statutes that appear to be a great source of worry to Messrs. Jackson £ Hagood. One is the existing delinquent tax publication law. The other target for the Journal’s wrath is the existing law fixing the rates for legal adver tising for the State of Oregon. Both laws have been regularly passed by the state legislature. They have stood the tests of time. They were devised for public service and have fulfilled their mission. Both laws are patterned after similr.r statutes in adjoining states. The rates of publication In both laws, are as low, if not lower, than charges fixed in nearly all of the states of the union. No one questions the state ment that as long a s we have courts and la w 3 , there must be legal publi cation; no one for a moment will contend that a delinquent tax-payer should not be notified of his delin quency. Then why the editorial barrage each evening in the Portland Jour nal? Listen folks— it’ s a secret. Once upon a time Editor Jackson boosted for single tax in Oregon. Once he wailed much in the fashion of his present sobbing, but the voters o f the state heeded not. And the press of the state heeded not. And the press of Oregon pok'-d consider able fun at Mr. Jackson, which riled him exceedingly. And again once upon a time Ed itor Jackson awoke to find that the Multnomah county delinquent tax list publication had been legally awarded to his esteemed contempor aries, The Oregonian and The Even ing Telegram. Whereupon Million aire Jackson again gnashed his teeth and hissed "revenge!” And now comes the revenge. It’s to be a double-barreled buck-shot re venge, too, if Brother Jackson's scheme is carried out In accordance with his well-laid plans. It’s timed and all planned to the minute, and the "zero” hour is set for election day, November 5th. 1918. It’s to be a much heralded and mighty drive on the newspapers of Oregon, with Messrs. Jackson A Hagood at the head of the big push. It's advertised almost as much as a certain other big drive in history. It may he as disastrous. The voters of the slate are open to argument but they refuse to be co erced at Mr. Jackson’s bidding, knowing the petty spitework ,behind his plans. Indications are that they will vote a most emphatic “ NO” to each of tbe Jackson-Hagood tnean- ures. They believe the newspapers have a right to live; they know the splendid work of the Oregdn press in supporting the war activities and loan drives without recompense; they know that publication costs have gone skyward, and that rates should be raised, rather than lower- «d , if the newspapers of the state are to survive. So much for the legal rate bill. They naturally suspect the attorn ey's part in the delinquent tax bill They know that attorneys and tax title grabbers are close pals as a rule, and they know that the scheme Jack- son & Hagood. the lawyer, propose, would throw the delinquent taxpayer entirely upon the mercies of the title grabber. Jackson would provide de linquency notice by mail. The exist ing law provides the very same thing, but goes a step further, in the inter est of the unfortunate owner whose property has become delinquent and provides that only upon failure of the mail notice, shall publication be made. The voters know that Jackson has forgotten to mention this fact in his argument. They know, too, that the present law is fashioned to pro tect the unfortunate delinquent from the tax title grabbei1 and others of his type, and they will refuse point blank to support such a scheme. is solicited.

Its leaders look forward to winning three or four states in the next congressional elections. Our quarrel with the Non-Partisan League is not ><> much that it has been accused o f pacifism and specific pro-Germanism or that its chief organizer, Mr. Townley. has made speeches which sounded seditious, but that it openly arrays one class against another class, lining up the farmer against the mill owner and the banker and the manu facturer. A co-operative effort among the farmers is a splendid thing. Hut the policy of the Non-Partisan League savors too much o f the class war which in itself is war against democracy. If the league is to benefit the farmer it must clear itself of this suspicion.— McClure's Magazine. ________________ A GOOD PLACE TO TRADE * ♦ W e carry a large line of dry goods, shoes, notions, • gents’ furnishings, hats, caps and rubber goods, etc. ►+++♦♦+++++++++ + + + + + Î+ + + H + i ™f Star-^Theatre i ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ o ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ++ : OUR GROCERY DEPARTMENT Saturdays Program will portray s has a large line of fancy and staple groceries, canned goods, smoked meats.
