DEMOCRATIC SHAM ECONOMY.
Secretary Meyer Is Justified In his
condemnation of the Democratic
House for declaring, in caucus,
against the construction of two bat
tle ships a year. "Even with a con
tinuous program of two battle ships
annually," says the secretary, "the
United States would, a year hence, be
a little behind Its present effective
strength, for In another year four of
our present battle ships will become
noneffective." The Democrats cut off
naval construction In the name of
economy. Very properly the secretary
calls thla costly economy.
A little more of the same sort of
economy Is shown In the cuts In the
army appropriation bill, by which
there will be a pretense of saving
$2,000,000 or $3,000,000 a year. The
effectiveness of the army will be di
minished however, and the reduction
In outlay will be a waste instead of
BUSINESS TEST FOR 1912.
By figures fresh from a govern
ment bureau it Is seen that the ex
ports of manufactured articles from
the United States In the year 1911
passed the billion-dollar line for the
first time. The Increased demand for
the things produced by American
manufacturers, artisans and inventors
extends to all continents. In the last
ten years the gain in this respect has
been 36 per cent In Asia 64 In Africa,
70 In Europe, 15S In North America
and IIS In South America. The old
Democratic claim that a protectlv
tariff breaks down our fore'gn trade
has been knocked out bo hard that It
Is offered no more In Intelligent de
bate. This subject Is of great Import
ance In the United States, whose pop
ulation in the last decade Increased at
the average rate of 1,600.000 a year
Opportunities for employment must
keep pace if good industrial condl

trade routes of the world that will
follow the opening of the Panama

New Stock Journal
Has Bright Future
SHAW NOW JAILER AND PEACE OFFICER
(Continued front pngo 1)
With the entrance of the Western
Stock Journal Into the field of trade
journalism stock breeders and those
Interested in livestock have an ex
cellent medium for representation.
The February Issue of the Western
Stock Journal, Just off the press, Is
the first In the life of this new trade
paper and if the high standard, both
as to print and material Is maintain
ed there seems little doubt as to its
uuuualified success.
The pages contain many valuable
articles on livestock and stock condi
tions which should prove a decided
help to the breeder. Special subjects
are treated by experts In the livestock
business under their own signatures
and the wide field covered by the
Journal Includes all species of live
stock. The Western Stock Journal Is de
voted exclusively to livestock and
stock breeding and is the only Jour
nal on the Pacific Slope confining its
attention to stock breeding alone. The
particular territory throughout which
the Western Stock Journel circulates
embraces the states of Oregon Wash
ington, Idaho, Montana and Califor
nia. These pacific states are rapid
ly developing the stock Industry and
the peculiarly favorable climatic and
soil conditions render this territory
ideal for stock breeding.
The hog breeding branch of the
livestock Industry la perhaps more
marked in its adcanve than
any other. Particularly Is this true
of the Poland-China variety. Cattle,
sheep horses, and goats all thrive and
the raising of this class of stock Is
forging rapidly ahead. All of these
various kinds of livestock are mott
amply treated In the columnB of the
Western Stock Journal In a forceful
and intelligent manner.
A feature that Is new and which
will prove of unquestionable value to
all stockmen, is a Law Department.
This is a treatise in itself and will
be one of the salient features of the
Journal. The editorials are strong
and to the point, dealing entirely with
livestock and what should be done to
better the various breeds.
The Journal Is profusely Illustrated
with pictures of stock which adds
much to the value of the printed mat
ter.
The Western Stock Journal had Its
Inception at the State Fair held at
Salem last year when stockmen (lis
cussed the launching of an organ de
voted to stock breeding only, a Jour
nal that would be representative of
the livestock Industry. The question
has been finally settled and several
stockmen have pooled and are support
ing the Western Stock Journal flnanc
tally, thus Insuring Its permanency.
The Western Stock Journal Is es
sentially an Oregon product from Its
Inception to Its appearance in the
journalistic field. It had its birth In
Oregon and Its home is at Oregon
City where It is published, with tern
porary offices in the Andresen block.
The Journal Is beautifully printed
and the artistic arrangement of the
material is unusual for a trade Jour
nal. Stockmen or those who are in
terested in a new home city publica
tion may obtain a sample copy by ad
dressing the Western Stock Journal,
Oregon City, or calling at the office
In the Andresen block. The Journal
will be on sale at the news stands
wlihln the week.
The advent of the Western Stock
Journal fills a long felt want of the
stock breeders, they never having en
Joyed an organ devoted alone to their
interests.
The Enterprise welcomes the West
ern Stock Journal and wishes It suc
cess in this field of the Pacific North
west, the great and growing livestock
industry, which has long needed rep
resentation through a medium of its
own.

meeting was for the purpose of Inves

or In writing, and feeling that your
Investigation was not sincere we there

passage through the canal will be free.
This will reduce the water rate In h
sufficient amount, it Is thought, that
the- rai lines will have to cut their
rates to meet the water competition.
However, Major Mclndoe, In his re
port to the War Department recent
ly, calculated that 20 per cent of the
merchandise passing between Portland
and Cpper Willamette River points
will be bandied by the canal. He esti
mates the merchandise handled an
nually at 000,0'mi tons, which would
give the canal 120,000 tons yearly.
There Is also a fair movement of pas
sengers at all seasons of the year
whn the river is open.
The Willamette Is navigable as far
south as Corvallis. The steamer Po
mona maintains regular service be
tween Portland and Corvallis, while
the Oregon operates regularly between
Portland and Salem. Other vessels

the charges are true these men should
be dismissed at once. Wo don't want
men who sleep when they should bo

If they are not true vindicate them
Why dlditt you make these marge

Green Chief of Police to make them.
Judge Hayes said the accusers were
Irvine to "hide behind shadows " He
said It was the custom In legislatures
and the Congress of the United States
when men were accused to make the
charges In writing. He cited the case
of Senator Smxt.

Hedges declared he never henrd of a

"I wlit out and Investigated this
matter' said Mr. Tooze. "The truth
Is tbeso men were off their beats
when the should have been on them
"We want It In writing," demanded
Judee Haves.
"You d'lje not go on," answered Mr
Hedges
"I c?n't understand why you do not

x;ild Mi'yor Dimlck. This Is custoat
ary."
Councilman Heurd said It looked iJ
him more like l he louncll wan being'
Investigated tlinr. the police. I lo de
clared It made no difference whether
the charges were made orally or in
writing. He thought the accused men
must have a poor case If they would
not face the charges.
"Do you know when wo make our
beats on the hill. said Policeman
Green to Councilman Tooze.
I decline to answer, It Is some
dirty scheme," was the retort.
Judge Hayes declared the accusers
were guilty of the "dirty scheme," and
said the reason the charges were de
manded In writing was because the
policemen wanted a chance to defend
thc-mselvea.
The time may come when we will
have an investigation and then we
will make our charges In our own
way,1, said Mr. Hedges. This, some
thought, suggested a recall, or some
thing like that.
Councilman Pope scored a decided
hit. He made a suggestion that had
never been even hinted at before, and
that was that the police committee
of the city council make an Investiga
tion and have a hearing. It was not
kindly received, however.
Councilman Heard moved that Po
licemen Green and Frost be suspend
ed until they were tried and vindi
cated. The Mayor said he might sus
pend the tho men if the charges were
In writing. A facetious taxpayer, who
was occupying standing room, was
heard to say, sotto voce, "The nearest
approach to a suspension hereabouts
for sometime will be the suspension
bridge."
Councilman Meyer said If the
charges had been made against hlnr
and were not true he would have the
accusers arrested for blackmail. "I
wouldn't be monkeying around here,"
added the councilman.
When Councilman Tooze told the
Mayor that written charges were op
posed because trickery was feared,
the Mayor retorted: ,
'You are not a gentleman for mak
ing these remarks. I am sorry that
that matter will go Into writing and
be published. '
Immediately thereafter the Mayor
declared Portland newspapers would
iend reporters up here and report
the whole thing Just as If the Morn-
ng Enterprise, the only daily between
'ortland and Salem, has not been glv-
ng columns of Its space to the coun
cil wrangle. This statement almost
made the Enterprise man hot, but he
was glad afterward that he preserved
his equanimity.
"It's been a Prownell fight against
me," declared the Mayor.
And here ended the fourth chapter.
