M. J BR.OWN,
You help pay for the war in Europe
with every bite of bread you eat.
Why not stop exporting anything to
any war-crazy nation?
Great Britain and Germany were
recognized as world powers in naval
and military strength. They were
prepared for war and they have it.
A legislature of one house, with all
commissions and boards abolished, is
coming. Every session of a two-housed
legislature justifies the creation of
one commission to govern one state.
The way to get the taxes down is
to vote 'em down; and the way to vote
'em down is to vote to abolish useless
offices by title and to limit the power
of appropriations, contingent expens
es, travel pay and salaries of those
left
Just to help along the horrors of
1915 Dame Nature kills 50,000 Itali
ans with a vigorous shrug of her
shoulders in the mountains of that
beautiful country. The old dame
will have to hustle some to beat the
armies of Europe!
' The legislature is not discussing the
taxation issue, as some of the papers
nv. All it in discussine alone this
line is when, and where taxes shall be
paid, and the penalties for delinquen
rv. Snph triflinc details have no
more to do with the real question than
the tassels on a dress have to ao witn
the relief of the famine in China.
1 A great stock gambler has come to
Oregon to improve the breed of cat
tie. Welcome, reformed robber! But
why not reflect upon the fact that
in those provinces of Canada where
cattle are not taxed comes the finest
cattle of the world. Oregon has all
that Nature can give her to produce
fine cattle. Man must do the rest.
The governor of this Common
wealth says he wants to encourage
manufacturing. Sure! Any horse
doctor ought to know but many
don't! that where manufacturing
plants are not taxed they will flourish
more than where they are taxed.
Baltimore does not tax manufacturing
plants because she really wants them
and she reallv (rets them. too.
Pittsburg is trying out the same thing
slowly, and it is working the same
wav. So is Houston. Texas. Some
people however, are so prejudiced that
they are bereit or norse-sense.
Former Congressman Elbert Bede,
of Minnesota, in a speech at a re
cent get-to-gether Republican love
feast, said he had received a letter
from his son out in Oregon, in which
he stated that "they had things so
damned fine in Oregon that it was
impossible for a decent man to get
an office." Son Albert has just been
elected to a ten dollar clerkship at
Salem and will now probably change
his mind.
A WAY FOR PEACE
'' What we need is a great, big war,
lots of wounded, and rivers of gore,
a million killed, or maybe more; but
never mind what the war is for, and
any old war will do.
' But firBt to the front let the mil
lionaires go, with congressmen in the
lead, you know; ah say perhnps a bri
gade or so; such a war as that would
not be slow! and the victories not a
few!
Next, bring up the legislators
dear, and office-holders from far and
near, of them the enemy needs have
fear; as they went to the front we all
would cheer, and food them on canned
horse stew!
Next make a thorough officii
draft of preachers and teachers and
all their craft, who glorify war and
all its graft, place them aboard some
old iron raft, and bump a mine or two!
Yes, what we need is a great big
war, millions of orphans and widows
galore, the country wrenched to its
very core; all that some powder trust
may score, only that and nothing
, more plunder for a few!
But if we start as I've just now
said, there won't be many wounded or
dead; there won't be debts on the
worker's head; all talk of war will
goon havo fled, with peace for me
and you.

Accidents to the
Machinery of all kinds should be
given some rest. Even with rest and
the best of care a mnchino will some
times break down or get out of order.
' When this happens it must be repair

fund for such contingencies. The
human machine is no different from
any other inasmuch as it is subject
to breakdowns and needed repairs.
When this occurs the income general

EDITOR
THOU SHALT NOT
A Washington dispatch says after
Secretary Bryan had conferred with
Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador and representatives of
American oil concerns, the govern
ment sent a warning - to Carranza
that "serious consequences may fol
low" his threatened confiscation of
foreien owned oil plants in Mexico.
Robbed of its diplomatic softness
that notice to Mexico is to keep its
hands off Standard Oil or hell will be
popping in Mexico.
It is notice that confiscation of the
nronerty of the "invisible govern.
ment" of the United States will not
be permitted, and if the Mexicans try
it on the U. S. will confiscate Mexico.
The Mexicans may confiscate the
hyciendas of the Spanish rich all they
happy please.
The Mexicans may tear up Ameri
can-owned railroads and blow up their
bridges until their dynamite is
exhausted.
The Greasers may drive out the
American owned ranchers in northern
Mexico, and run off their cattle in
bunches.
These are "incidents of war" and
the foreigner must take wars
chances when he goes into a foreign
country.
A few months ago Secretary Bryan
ordered all Americans out of Mexico;
ordered them to leave for the safety
of their lives, and let the Mexicans
have their property.
Our country did not protest.
If Americans would poke down into
a hot bed country they must take the
chances. If war broke out they
should be happy to leave their proper
ty and bring out their lives.
But touch not a gallon of Rocky
John's kerosene.
Jf you do, there will be a war of
invasion.
Sir Cecil Spring-Rice and the oil
chiefs have asked for protection of
the swag outfit, and the government
is going to give it to them.
Ever stop to think what protection
to Standard Oil will cost this coun
try?
Billions of dollars and thousands of
American boys.
Clean up Mexico? Sure we can,
but let this seep into your dome: It
will be when the desert sands have
licked up the blood of thousands of
Americans, and after their bones have
been picked white by vultures and
coyotes.
I know something about Mexico. I
have traveled for days over the desert
sands where there was not enough
moisture in an area as big as Clacka
mas county to put out the blaze of a
match, and where there was not
enough vegetation to keep a Harlem
goat alive.
There are fevers, venomous insects
deadly snakes. From the California
line to Santa Cruze the distance is
over 2,000 miles. The Greasers and
Yaquis know every hiding place
every starve-out place, every water
hole that could be poisoned. They
would not line up and fight as we
fight but would fight as desert rats
fight, and we have only to look back
and see how many years it took to
conquer that little handful of islnads
over in the Pacific to realize how
long it would take, how many lives
it would sacrifice and how much it
would cost to conquer Mexico.
And all to save dividends" for the
Standurd Oil crowd quaranteening
their profits at the cost of Amercian
lives.
American capitalists have been
milking Mexico for thirty years. They
have gobbled her oil fields, her mines
and her lands defrauded the republic
of them.
If Carranza would confiscate every
American holding in that country and
the government follow it up by for
bidding any American to own proper
ty over six years (as a bill before our
legislature would forbid a Mexican in
this country) it would be far better
for both countries.
Now the fire-eating agitators and
congressmen (who would not fight
themselves) would have this country
spend billions for war get prepared to
fight something. After the European
war ends the countries will all want
peace and the wise thing for this
country to do is to work out a univer
sal peace plan in place of squandering
millions for dreadnaughts and a
greater army.
Human Machine
That being the case, is it not the
part of wisdom to provide a fund to
tide over the loss oftimo and income,
and expense attending such cases?
The simplest way to creat such a fund
is to imagine that you owe the bank
a certain amount of money which
must be paid in installments and that
the deposits you make are the install
ments. The thought that thiss sum
must be paid will prevent lapse of the
regular habit of depositing and you
will be surprised how fast your
account will grow. Try it.
THE MOVES
Comments on Senate and
Bad Bills and
Weeks of Marion
iVCUliDWllMWIV
county has introduced a bill requiring
ctrat.inn officials shall
blia V w t
ask each elector when he comes to
register if he wants election lniormd
tion sent to him. This is a law to
compel election officials to asK voters
questions that is none of their busi
ness. Of course DacK oi n i
th the election pham-
plets being sent out to voters, the
..,. fottincr ton wise, hence a
few election officers will report that
voters do not care ior me ciclu.u..
booklet, and then an effort will be
made to repeal the law.
One of the really just bills intro
duced in the house, and which should
become a law, is that giving wives an
equal share in the property accumu
lated after marriage. This is only
giving a woman what is hers, what
sheh as helped to acquire.
E. L. Amidon of Multnomah
county, secretary of the Republican
committee, wants a law so that the
governor may fire any appointive of
ficial, whether his term has expired
or hot. This is spoils legislation. It
is for the interests of the job hunt
ers, not of the state. A more need
ed law would be that the governor
should not discharge any man who
did his work well.
"Economy" was something more
than to be elected on with the Clack
amas delegation. After Seriator
Dimick's bill to cut down the cleri
cal expenses was beaten, and it was
ruled each member was entitled to
one clerk, the lawmakers of this
county only appointed one clerk, at
state expense, for the four.
Another bill in the freak class is
that of Dana Allen of Maroin Co.,
which would require eggs and all
food products containing eggs laid
outside of Oregon to be branded to
that effect. Discrimination should
kill this bill. If it is well to brand a
foreign egg with the date of its lay
ing, why not as well a quarter of beef,
a ham, a dressed hog, and so on
with all foreign foodstuffs. If we
are to build a fence around Oregon
let it be made high enough to keep all
foodstuffs out. And we would sug
gest an amendment to have every ho
bo who crosses the state line wear a
tag giving the date he came in for
the protection of labor.
The job-makers in the house are
being lined up to defeat benator
Dimick's bill to abolish the worthless
immigration commission. The abol
ition of the bill would throw C. C.
Chapman of Portland out of a soft
snap. In the senate the committee
reported unanimously in favor of it.
Dimick showed up this string of ap
plications for state charity to hold
thn inh:
Salaries of manager of farm land
bureau $5,000; manager of foreign
imigration bureau, $3600; statistic
ians, $3,000; superintendent of ex
hibits, $840; draughtsmen, $1,000;
assistant at information bureau,
$1,000; and also for postage, $6710;
supplies and stationery, $600; travel
ing expenses, $2500; information bur
eau, $2500; for state publications in
English, German, Swedish, Norweg
ian, Danish and other northern Europ
ean languages, $35,000; for exhibit
expenses, $10,000.
"This is simply money thrown away
in English, Dutch, Swedish and every
nt.her lnncnni'e tob rinir men over
here while the war takes them back
faster than we can bring them," de
clared Senator Dimick.
Representative Lewis has dumped
in an unneeded bill, one increasing
the number of challenges of jurors
A man must pretty nearly acknow
ledge he is a fool or illiterate to get
on an important jury now, and the
bill would broaden the field (as well
as the expense) to take in more men
who do not read or think.
Representative Paisley has intro
duced a bill that should be quickly
hit with a jimmy. It is house bill
No. 58 and gives the medical
organization the tightest of all mon
opolies over the people, and would
prevent the practising of osteopaths,
chiropractors, and other lines of heal
ers not considered "orthodox." This
bill requires that every physician or
healer pass a 75 per cent examination
in the following branches: Anatomy,
physiology, surgery, obstetrics, ma
teria medica, therapeutics, practice
of medicine, chemistry, diseases of
women, medical jurisprudence and ,
such other branches as the board mav I
deem advisable! It simply gives an
absolute monopoly to the "regular"
physicians.
Representative Schuebel has intro
duced a bill abolishing the whole fish
and game commission, and handing
the work over to the governor, master
fish warden and the game warden.
The fish and game commission is in
bad with the pooplo and is decidedly
unpopular. It is printed that the
commission expended $170,000 last
year, and the people know it is far
too costly for the results. Schuebel's
bill cuts the salaries of the two state
wardens from $3100 to $1800 and that
all moneys received shall be paid to
the state treasurer. The passage of
this bill would give us just as good
service as now and save the state a
lot of money.
Representative Blanchard has intro
duced a bill giving the county court
the power to fix all county salaries,
except those of the county court offic
ials, and a member of the lgeislature
has asked the Courier what the voters
of this county would think of it. We
do not know how the voters feel, but
it appears to us the county should fix
AT SALEM
House Bills Good Bills,
"Just Bills.
its own salaries, the same as a city
should fix its, and that there is more
direct responsibility in this way.
Representative Lewis of Multno
mah county, has a bill to tax auto
trucks and passenger cars on a ton
nage and passenger basis, motor
trucks from $20 to $100 and passen
ger cars from $40 to $60. This bill
will be criticised on the reasoning
that our highways are no longer free,
and that it will be a precedent to es
tablish the toll system. Yet the
other point of reasoning is that rail
wtarla ft Tin Rtrfiet cars are taxed for
running over their own roads, while
the roads for motor cars are paid for
by the county taxpayers and the auto
trucks ruin them faster . than any
other agency.
Miss Marion B. Lewis of Jackson
pmintv. the onlv woman in the legis
lature and the second Democrat in the
house, has introduced a bill to put
penalty of from $100 to $10,000 on
conspiracy, with also imprisonment.
She says there is no law in uregon
to punish conspiracy. The bill should
pass.
Senator Vinton of Yamhill county
might be a close friend or a stock
hnldur nf a Davincf trust judging
from the bill he has introduced, which
provides that all vehicles driven Dy
mechanical cower shall be prohibited
from using "UNPAVED PUBLIC
HIGHWAYS," outside of cities and
towns during six months of the year,
from October 15 to April 15. It pro
vides that BEFORE a country road
can be used by these vehicles it must
be paved with hardsurfaced face of
not less than four inches. This looks
very much like trying to FORCE the
county districts to vote bonds for
navine". but it won't work. It is too
plain. The bill won't come within a
hundred miles of passage.
A commendable action on the part
nf the house was its action in turn
ing down the many invitations of
pleasure jaunts to inspect the var
ious state institutions, university,
normal schools, etc. The action was
taken when an invitation came for the
house to visit and inspect the univer
sity at Eugene. Representative
Schuebel led the fight against these
free rides and banquets, and he said
in rmrt.?
"If we did go we would find the
institution on dress parade, ana we
would have a fine time, a nice ban
quet, and all that; but would come
Wlf with no better idea of the uni-
vftraitv and its needs than we had
before. We are not here to take
pleasure jaunts. We would be wast
ing time and money. I don't believe
we would be earning our money if
we went.
Here's one that should be killed
without a dissenting vote in either
house, Representative Pierces bill to
repeal a standing appropriation for
bubonic plague. And following it,
some one should demand a state
ment from the state board of health
as to what this money has been paid
out for these many years. We all
know there is no bubonic plague m
Oregon, and we SHOULD KNOW
what the bunch has been doing with
the money.
Whv will renresentative men make
themselves ridiculous as the senate
did when it passed a resolution that
each senator be furnished with five
daily papers each day?
The interests behind the naval
militia have gone back to Washing
ton nnd cot Secretarv Daniels to
come through with a protest against
Senator Dimick's bill to aoonsn tne
nnvnl militia, and the war scare is
being worked for all it will stand to
perpetuate the leech. The militia
makes fat jobs and easy club lives for
the few top-notchers. It would be of
no more account in war than a
feather in a cyclone. It's an expen
sive playhouse and salary-making
combination.
The unanimous action of the sen
ate in repealing the immigration, the
county accountancy and the census
laws are the actions the voters of the
state like to see, and are along the
line of pledges to the people.
If Senator Dimick's repeal bills go
t'irough these amounts will be saved
to the state: census appropriation,
$100,000;; immigration commission,
$70,000; bureau of mines $50,000;
naval militia, $25,000; county supervi
sor law $30,000; weights and measures
$11,000. Every one of these can be
abolished and none will miss them but
the job holders. But here is betting
they won t all die.
Represntative Hunt has introduced
a bill to repeal a law of the last ses
sion requiring that on permanent
highway work of $1,000 or over the
same shall be laid out by an engineer
and let on bids. The country districts
especially would like to have it repeal
ed as it adds much to the expense of
roads and prohibits the farmers from
building them and using the stone and
material they have.
Senator Farrell of Multnomah will
introduce a bill to reduo the salaries
of all county officers. Why county
officers? Why not a bill to cut the
salaries of the state officers 20 per
cent ? That would be more like it.
We believe Representative Schue
bel's bill to put the jack under the
fish and game commission is a step
in the right direction, yet at the same
time the question bobs up before the
Courier editor "why special officers
to enforce laws?" What are our con
stables, sheriffs for? Why do not
they enforce the game laws as well
as the criminal laws ? A fellow
makes this suggestion: make every
man who takes out a license a game
warden, give him half the fines and
we would get better law enforcement
at no public cost.
'',.
Senator Garland of Linn county
wants to break in with a bill pretty
bad and he has. His bill provides
that foot paths for the benefit of
pedestrians on' all highways shall be
maintained and paid for out of the
general fund. Of course it win not
pass.
Representative Hunt of this county
has introduced a bill requiring all
physicians' prescriptions to be writ
ten in English. This bill will find
oil Hn,ia nf hapkinc amoner the rank
and file. People seem to think they
should have the right to know what
kind of stuff is given them to swal
low, whether the puis are paste ui
strychnine, and there is no good
argument why they should not know.
in nlain Enerlish would
put many a quack out of practice and
would be a mighty good protection
to the people. May it pass.

RIDICULOUS
Wednesday of last week the senate
was in an economical mood.
It had a 40-horse power yearn to
tret the ax and lop something off.
And while they were searching
and thirsting for something safe and
easy there bobbed up a $4-a-day bill
clerk soft snap.
Down fell the ax off rolled the $4
head, and the headsmen straightened
up and repeated in chorus
"We are for economy."
Thursday they came to and got
calm.
They looked over the awful car
nage of Wednesday saw where they
had cut off the state $4 per day.
Remorse set in.
They were departing from prece
dents. They were becoming musr
cents. Only one stenographer apiece for
the members.
Only eight clerks, messengers and
sergeant-at-arms.
How could a well organized sen
ate be expected to run as it should
run without a full crew?
It simply couldn't
Senator Burgess said it couldn't
So the senate recanted.
It reconsidered.
Reconsider meant have another $4
think, and on the second think 17
senators lined up for $4, and the $4
bill clerk was attached to Oregon.
As the vote was taken Dan Kallaher
of Portland looked over the lobby and
said:
"Well, if there are any others in
the lobby who want to be put on the
payroll this is the time to speak up.
If we are going to keep on paying po
litical debts in small driblets why
in the name of heaven don't we put
them all on at once?"
It is such peanut plays as this that
make the Salem legislature ridicu
lous. It makes the members appear
like a bunch of school boys.

Starve the crazy looters and fight
ers of Europe into peace.
It makes a lot of difference whether
this country would protect legitimate
commerce, or whether it would pro
tect smugglers and ships carrying
war contraband articles. If it tries
to protect the makers of war supplies
our chances are mighty fine for
breaking in on the big war.
Seeing the shadow of coming
events Adjutant General Finzer didn't
wait for what Insurance Commission
er Ferguson got, but he got out of
the way of events he resigned. He
concluded he would rather raise wheat

field Governor Withycombe appointed
Capt. George White of Portland to
succeed him.
It is getting so that as soon as any
misfortune, catastrophe, disaster, dif
ficulty or trouble breaks loose in Eu
rope somebody starts passing the hat
in the United States. There is ample
in Europe to enable the pepole there
at any and all times to take care of
themselves. There is plenty of food
in Belgium, and plenty in England,
and plenty in Italy. If there is not
plenty in any of these localities it is
because of some body else having
acted the fool, or the hog, and not us.
Every dollar sent to Belgium relieves
the Germans of that much of a bur
den in their side of the hell-war.
Every dollar sent to Italy enables the
Italian landlords and tax dodgers to
be relieved of that much. The big
gest fraud on God's earth is charity,
and the biggest fraud among chari
ties is this game of helping foreign
people in disaster. They have plenty
at hand to help themselves. Mark
