Editor Published Thursdays from the Banner Building at Ninth and Main Streets and Entered in the Postoffice at Oregon City, Oregon as Second Class Mail Matter. , Subscription Price, J1.50 per year in advance. Telephone 417 MEMBEK OF WILLAMETTE VALLEY EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION MEMBER OF OREGON STATE EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION Official Paper of City of Oregon City AS WE SEE IT The indictment of Sheriff Wilson brings to mind the seriousness of public service, particularly is this true of service dealing with the crooks, and other law-breaking elements of society which forms a large part of the sher its "dinged" if he does and "darned" if he doesn't, so mand that there should be greater activity in bringing doers of wrong to justice and that this officer isn't doing his full duty. There are others who accuse him of per sonal spite work and discrimination in the discharge oi ' his duty. Finally no matter how active or how just, this office is the target more than that of any other county officer, except the county judge, of public condemnation. Its "dinegd" if he does and "darned" if he doesn't, so there! There is much public sentiment to the effect that W. J. Wilson has done his duty bringing the booze plug gers, and moonshiners to justice and yet so persistent has ' Deen reports to the conrtary that through tne suggestion of W. (J. T. U. members there has been an investigation oi this office under way for some time but nothing nas been found to warrant procedure against him. We have be lieved and still believe the sheriif sincere in his eiiorts to enforce the prohibition law and we know he has brought in a lot of tne booze gentry to answer for their crimes. And if his office is "off color" some persons whom he trusts are, we believe, "putting over" on him. He will answer his indictment before this paper is in the hands of its readers. The Banner-Courier has believed W. J. Wilson not guilty of larceny by bailee. In the first place we believe him honest and second that he has too much sense to embezzle a lot of old junk such as is mentioned in the complaint. The charge brought near ly two years after the tools are said to have been taken looks to us flimsy. And if this official is proven not guilty his accusers if they have brought these charges against him through spite, with hope of political advantage or through any other ulterior motives should be punished. AWAY WITH THEM must go up, down or remain at a stationary level together. ' The situation at present is discouraging to progress Take the matter of building for example. Prospective builders of homes, and other structures hesitate owing to the fluctuating prices of products or goods they have for sale, the high and uncertain costs of materials and the uncertainty of the fdture cost of labor. The laborer is in the same dilemma as the merchant, or the manufacturer none feel sure of the future. It is to be hoped that this feeling that tomorrow may bring reductions in the cost of the things we want . to buy and hence we will not buy, but will wait for tomorrow will soon end. And this feeling and tendency observed by in dustry and by commerce defense of their own interests, people buy only in a very limited way thus forcing the manufacturer and producer to curtail their product. And this process retroacts upon the workmen engaged in the industries and the result is curtailment of compensation and opportunity to labor. However, with greater assurance of peace through out the world than ever before: with bonds selling at a lower rate and more readily than for many months past; with prices settling down to a more certain level; and with the efforts of the world directed toward making the bases of money exchaneg more stable thus stimulating and encouraging commerce at home and with foreign countries, better times must surely come. WHY ANY PREFERENCE? Secretary Mellon of The United States Treasury, proposes the payment of $500,000,000.00 bonus to the rail roads to pay their owners for their losses when the roads were drafted into the service. How about the young men who were drafted into the service at the same time the railroads were and who sustained losses thousands of them health, financial opportunities and jobs. Why not show the same anxiety for them as for the roads? If any preference why not. for the "khaki boys?" COMPLIMENTARY .Boozy Woozy Willy Worthless is growing mighty unpopular among his old associates since the beginning of the local campaign for morally better Oregon City, Here's to the mayor, the police and the entire administra tion in their present efforts.

The Arms Conference did its greatest piece of work when by unanimous vote the five great powers banish- ea tne use oi poisonous gas inwariare. inis was accom plished through the passage of the following resolution fathered by Elihu Root, one of the representatives of the United States. "The use in war of asphyxiating, poisonous, or other gases, and all analogous liquids, materials or devices, hav ing been duly condemned by the general opinion of the civ ilized world, and a prohibition of such use having been declared in treaties, in which a majority of the civilized powers are parties: "Now, to the end that this prohibition shall be ur versally accepted as a part of international law, binding alike the conscience and practice of nations, the signatory powers declare their assent to such prohibition, agree to be bound thereby between themselves, and invite all oth er civilized nations to adhere thereto." All the other nations of the world will be asked to subscribe to this act and thus agree to forever banish " this the most damnable and horrible means of wholesale murder yet invented. The next move should be to eliminate the submarine and to limit aircraft to defensive purposes. - A REMEDY A contemporary is authority for the statement that capital invested during the year in Oregon industries in creased from $139,500,000 in 1914 to $439,982,000 in 1919, Salaries and wages also increased from $26,515,000 to $34,986.00 0 during this same period. With the price of productions from these industries being reduced while the investment in these industries remains the same it is difficult to see how the cost of la bor can retain its present plane.
