be their swift punishment. -
The man who plays patrisanship when international welfare is at
stake is not only a weakling, he is a national liability. .
The United States Senate is no linger a constructive arm of the
government. It can be depended on for no concerted action whose object is

Official Paper of City of Oregon City
"Flag of the free heatrs' hope and
home!
By Angels' hands to valor given;
Thy stars have lit the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in
Heaven.
Forever float that standard shet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be
fore us.
With Freedom's soil beneath our feet.
And Freedom's banner streaming
o'er us."
JOSEPH DRAKE.
vV. J. Bryan, the greatest single moral force in this country today de
clares in reference to the Darwinian theory of evolution enthusiasts that
"They can't make a monkey out of me." We agree with him. The man who
goes up against his moral courage, his power of expression and his unbound
ed faith in God as the author of the Bible account of creation has the pro-
foundest philosophy of the ages to combat. And while to every scientist
there must be granted freedom of thought, his is the same Creator whose
handwork is described in Genesis.
The closing lines of Mr. Bryan's confession of faith are as forceful as
they are full of faith and encouragement "Take from man his belief in
God and link him with the jungle and you have .changed his philosophy.
Everything in human life, depends upon a belief in God. 'bn that belief rests
responsibility to self, to others and to God. Th-t6me is coming when we are
going to get back to a real belief in God and to a belief in his word."
SOME SOURCES AND REMEDIES TAXATION
Last wedk in these columns were shown fVie costs of the state higher
educational institutions. It was shown that in addition to the millage taxes
amounting to $4,163,356.25 there was appropriated by the 1921 legislature
specially for maintainance $609,175.48 and still another $113,269.50 for a med
ical building which brought the total of special appropriations up to $722,
444.98. And this was after the people had voted all the millage tax requested
by the administrative offices of these institutions themselves. Wasn't this
GOING SOME? And when the politicians tell you that you are to blame
for the present high taxes remind them that every cent of the millage taxes
were referred by the legislature to the generous public only because they ex
ceeded the 6 per cent limitation.
Here are just a few more highly interesting expenditures that add to
the taxpayers burdens. ' c
The state Highway Engineer is furnished a Cadillac car, driver, UN
LIMITED EXPENSE account and paid per annum $7200.
The secretary to the State Highway Commission is furnished a Buick
Six car, driver, unlimited expense account and paid per annum $4800 which
is $300 more per year than the Secretary of State is paid.
Legal adviser of the State Highway Commission attached to the state
Attorney General's office, submits to his chief all opinions of importance and
draws from the state per 'annum $4200.
This is but a small part of the expenses of the Commission but shows
where some of the money goes. , -
The politicians tell us the commission costs us nothing since the mem
bers who have no need of more jmoney draw no salaries. Figure it out for
yourself, dear taxpayer.
To the Oregon Industrial School for Girls the 1921 legislature appro
priated $107,858.35. In 1919 the appropriation was $42,226.05.
This is an increase of $65,632.30 or over 155 per cent. The number of
inmates in 1920 was 64 and in 1921 was 78 a total increase of only 14. The
number of teachers was and is 1 and the number of employees in 1920 was 7
and now 8. And this institution should be self supporting. Work from a
moral, physical and economic standpoint would be the best possible service
that could be rendered these girls and the state.
The 1921 legislature appropriations for the state Penitentiary was the
huge sum of $433,238.25. The preceding appropriation was $364,684.45 an
increase of $68,553.50.
Of this expenditure' of $433,238.25,iere was used for construction $56,
852.26; for transportation $7,564.72; Purchase of land $24,800.00; plants for
employment (flax) $30,000 and for a real automobile $3,000. The state is no
friend to "Uncle Henry" nor his "Lizzie."
The average number of inmates in 1920 was 276 and in 1921 was 369.
The number employees in 1920 was 44.4 and in 21 was 47.7.
Owing to the length of this article, a discussion of the CONDITIONS at
this institution will be continued next week. The instituion, should like
others of its kind in other states, be made self-supporting or even be put on
a basis where it would produce revenue for the state. The men themselves
would be better off than now. Surely every able bodied criminal should
earn his bread by the sweat of his brow most of the taxpayers do.
AMERICAN RIGHT
As Germany makes her first reparatious payment this government
should and will no doubt demand recognition in the distribution. The British
are not so slow as proverbially reputed to take cognizance of the justice of
America's claim. "
The diplomatic angle of just what the rights of this country are under
the Versailles treaty shouldn't be permitted to turn us from 6traightline
procedure. The American army of occupation and the brave soldiery on
the battlefields of France have meant everything to the Allies and its, in
mighty poor taste at least to force this country to even ask for return of
a small Dart of our costs in dollars and cents.

"Everybody is a cheat but me and thee and sometimes I believe that
even thou art", said the old lady to her spouse This reminds us of the atti
tude of some reformers who are trying to reduce taxes. Taxes MUST be
reduced but to damn everybody else's efforts but-our own will hinder rather
than help progress.
Tax reduction can go a long way before the public will call a halt.
However, you can't make educational institutions good any more than you
can make children good by starvation.
And even the frogs are croaking for spring.
DEFEAT THE DEMAGOGS
The treatment accorded the Arms Conference Treaties is a national
disgrace. Insinuations of playing "second fiddle" and other cheap dema
gogury is indulged in by senators who for revenge or self-aggrandizement
or through ignorance, want to kill these treaties.
Senator Underwood leading democrat and one of the nation's Imost
brilliant statesmen, a man whose loyalty, integrity and leadership has never
been questioned is subjected to about the same quality of grilling relative
to the making of the treaty as a cheap criminal lawyer employs in his case.
Dignity and official decency are discarded. It's anything to beat the treaty.
Democrats and Republicans alike are trying to discredit Underwood and
Hughes in order to punish Lodge and revenge the League of Nations. Let
Lodge take punishment but spare the treaty.
The irrenconsilables are on record against the League of Nations and
rather than admit their then inconsistencies they now fight the Treaties.
This is not statesmanship. It is narrow cjemagoguery. In case of re
venge against Lodge or Underwood by either Republicans or Democrats its
What Does Your Check Stubs
Show, Tiirift or Extravagance?
How many checks have gone for necessary expense
how many have gone- into things for which there
is nothing to show? REVIEW your stjibs. You will
be surprised at the amount recorded for momentary
pleasures astonished at the aggregate sum spent in
small amounts.
Doesn't this illustrate the rapid growth of savings
accounts? These small amounts put in the savings
bank at interest will develop rapidly into a large
sum SAVED instead, of an astounding sum frivolous
ly spent.
Don't be afraid to start small. Put your pin moneys
the dollars now scattered heje and there into a
savings account Soon you will have a worth while
surplus, the existence of which will seem as un
accountables as the amount now spent wastefully.
We welcome small accounts.

SUFFERED
SINCE
CHILDHOOD
"I have been a sufferer since child
hood from rheumatism,' said Mrs. S.
E. Sweeney, Pueblo, Col. "At times,"
she continued, "my joints and limbs
would become swollen so I could not
walk without the most severe pains.
To make matters worse, I had catarrh
of the head and stomach and suffered
with sleeplessness and ringing in my
head and ears. After taking Prescrip
tion Number 40 Iwas relieved and it
has given me more comfort than any
medicine I have ever taken,. "I hope
similar sufferers wULgive Prescrip
tion Number 40 a trial."
Prescription Number 40 is recom
mended for blood troubles from any
cause; chronic constipation, indiges
tion, stomach and liver troubles ec
zema, skin troubles, etc. Acts on the
liver removing waste matters from
the system thus cleansing the blood
of all impurities and doing away with
the need of cathartic pills and tablets.
