LET JAPAN HELP.
John P. Bass, one of the most wide
ly experienced of American war cor
respondents, notes the lack of co-ordination
In the operations of the Allies
armies and contrasts It with the cen
tralised efficiency which the German
military machine has always been able
to show. His words come most timely
at this Juncture, when a war-conference
of the Allies is so soon to be held
and when the United States, through
Pershing and possibly others, is pre
paring to take part In the discussion
which will then be held.
The American representatives at
that meetine should Insist upon each
of the Allies taking up that portion of
the burden of warfare which it can
best carry. The Uuited States, tor
iustance, since its formal entrance
into the war, has assumed the finan
clal and economic burdens ot the
Allies which Great Britain formerly
rarried. And we are expected, when
spring comes, if not sooner, to relieve
France of a good portion ot the mili-
tary load under w hicb. she has been '
staggering.
Japan, on the other hand, through!
having taken to herself the German j
possessions in the far east, has made
slight contribution to the Allied cause
beyond the furnishing of munitions to
Russia for which she has been paid
and the floating of a small issue of
Russian securities In the Japanese
market. The forthcoming war con
ference should decide upon Japan's
further part in the hostilities.
Japan is expected to release some
of her shipping from the Pacific for
use on the Atlantic, where the German
submarine has depleted the Allied ton
nage. This is a valuable help; but It
can be enhanced by sending the Jap
anese ships via the Suet rather than
the Panama canal and by having them
loaded with soldiers who shall be dis
embarked at Salonlki, where they will
strengthen Sarrall's forces so that,
simultaneous with the spring drive in
the west, there may be a big push in
the east with the result that as the
Hun is pushed back to the Rhine, his
allies may be cut off from him.
The war cannot be won upon one
front alone and If the United States
really is to take a position of leader
ship we cannot begin too soon to form-
ulate plans, not only for ourselves but
for our Allies as well.
TYPE AND EYE STRAIN
Dr. A. E. Bostwick, librarian of the i strict government control now exlst
St Louis public library, has written to ' lng there is not much chance to make
the Yale Review complaining of the .' money in buying their securities. The
small sizes of type commonly used in
books. He thinks it is so small as to
create eye strain. He has tried to get
together in hi3 library a collection of
large type books, for tired eyes, as he .
calls it, but can not secure any wide
selection of volumes.
While there Is some basis for this
complaint, books are not printed in
nearly as small type as formerly.
There was a time when standard nov
els were printed in type that most
newspapers call small today. News
paper types are commonly larger than
formerly. It Is no wonder that peo
ple have eye troubles today, when one
thinks how the eyes of our fathers
and mothers were strained In reading
those old volumes.
The evolution of type faces has
sometimes been governed more by
what printers called artistic appear
ance than by any attempt to make
types easy to read. A prevailing Btyle
of type some years ago had quite fine
lines, and though it was of fairly good
size, yet it would not take much ink
and the whole appearance of a page
was grey. This must have created
eye strain.
Of recent years there has been a
tendency to the other extreme and a
great run on types having blunt faces.
This gives a black appearance to the
page, which looks almost dazzling, and
it must create eye strain. Another
tad is to dispense with paragraph in
Bay this pivps a better mass effect,
but it must bother both the e-e and
the mind to have no suggestion of
a rest or break in the current of the
thought.
Designers of types should keep in
mind that the first aim is not to pro
duce an artistic or sensational effect,
but to carry an idea to the mind with
the' least effort to the eye that is pos
sible. A printed letter at nest is a
minute object, smaller than the natur
al human eye was meant to look at
for any length of time, and type can
not be made too clear and obvious.
END THE PARTISANSHIP.
President Wilson has issued an ap
peal for the State banks and trust
companies to come into the Federal
Reserve System. His language is urg
int as Is the need. There are more
banks outside the Federal Reserve
System than within it. Between eight
and nine thousand State banks, ny
reason of their resources, are eligible
and desirable as members of the Fed
eral Reserve System; but only about
a hundred of them have ever Joined it,
and the entire membership of the Sys
tem la about 7,700.
According to the Statistical Ab
stract for 1914 (the latest available)
the total resources of the 7,638 Na
innni hanks there listed amounted to
a little less than eleven and a half
billion dollars.
At the same time there were 2,100
savings banks, 14,512 State banks,
1 064 private banks, and 1,654 loan
and trust companies whose total re
sources aggregated nearly fifteen bil
lions end a half of dollars.
It is evident therefore, as the Presi
den tsays, that "these institutions
have U their power to add enormous-
to the resources of the Federal Be
servo Banks." Inasmuch as they hold
nearly fifty-eight per cent of the bank
ing resources of the country.
The Federal Reserve Banks are con
trolled by the Federal Reserve Board
whose membership comprises: Wil
liam 0. McAdoo of New York, Secre
tary of the Treasury (Democrat));
John Skelton Williams of Virginia,
Comptroller of the Currency (Demo
crat-; William P. O. Harding of Ala
bama (Democrat); Paul M. Warburg
of New York (Democrat); Frederic A.
Delano of Illinois (Republican); A. C
Miller of California (Democrat); Chas.
S. Hamlin of Massachusetts (Demo
crat).
Money is non-partisan; but the Fed
eral Reserve Board la not. If the
President wishes to put a real appeal
Into his summons to the State banks
to join the Federal Reserve System,
she win do wen to roiiow u up wm
an Immediate reformation ot the Fed
eral Reserve Board which will make
that body something less than eighty
five per cent Democratic. His pres-
ent purpose apparently is to mobilize
all the wealtb and all the talent and
all the bravery and all the patriotism
of the nation and to put them under
the undisputed control of Democratic
partisans.
CONGESTED RAILROADS.
A railroad man says that never in
his experience has he seen ccnditlons
on the r allroads so tied up as they
are at this present time. Freight
trains are so slow coming through that
many manufacturers send all their
smaller deliveries by express.
Freight and express business calls
for strong and husky men, so it is per
formed largely by young men. It takes
a fellow with some elasticity ot mus
cle to handle big boxes.
Now comes the draft and calls out
a big share of these vigorous young
men, depleting the freight and express
terminals. Meanwhile a big share of 125 a week probably never thought
the young men from offices, factories, j the law would Be brought down to
and stores, who live under conditions i hit them. But now like the big bank
not conducive to physical strength, j ers and manufacturers, they too must
are escaping service, since the ex- j struggle with the Intricacies ot an In
emption boards won't pass them on ; come tax blank. For $25 a week,
account of physical disability. This i however, the tax will be but $5. It
leaves the railroads terribly handicap-1 is an insignifilcant sacrifice compared
ped in trying to handle the enormous with the soldier's. And these unmar
strain of war business, with every fac-! ried men would spend that amount
torT jumping to till orders,
Ot course the general shortage of
railroad equipment Is aggravating this :
situation. The people with money to
Invest have become sore on the rail
road stocks, claiming that under the
railroads finding it difficult to get
money, are not increasing their facili
ties as they ought to.
Meanwhile manufacturers who can't
get raw material and merchants who
can't get shipments, are pawing up
the earth and uttering loud impreca
tions about freight delays. It would
help some if every man who has a
shipment of goods will take away his
stuff the day i tcomes in, so that cars
can be released and sent off where
most needed.
CARING FOR TREES.
Tree growth is one of the essentials
of beauty in a town or a neighborhood.
The selling value of real estate can
be greatly enhanced by tree cultiva
tion. But many people seem to think
they can stick trees into the ground
and have them grow without any fur
ther attention.
Out in the country where there is
plenty of air and sunlight and water
they will prosper without trouble. But
place them in a town where their
roots lie largely under macadam
streets and concrete walks, they are !
going to lack their proper supplies of j
moisture.
Automobile travel, griniling fine par
ticles of stone and earth off the streets
and sending it all into the air in the
form of dust, is an Injury to trees. The
pervasive dust covers the leaves and
obstructs the performance of their
functions. Or if streets are oiled so
as to prevent the dust from flying in
3ome measure, the oil must obstruct
passage of water in the soil and fre-
quently the tarry substances come In '
contact with the roots and injure them.
The fall is an excellent time of
year to inspect trees and see if they
are suffering. In the spring, If a tree
has any life at all, it will look well.
In the fall after it has encountered the
strain of summor weather, it will show
weakness. Falling leaves will show
if a tree is having a battle for exist
ence. Such trees may need protec
tion from insects another season, or
possibly they need regular watering
to help them live under difficult con
ditions. No matter how much money Is spent
on a house, it will never seem like a
real home unless it has trees around It
to screen it and soften its outline and
give contrast. A healthy tree Is a
constant source of pleasure. Now Is
the time to look your trees over and
see whether they are needing any spe
cial care.
THE SOLDIER'S MONEY.
According to Gen. Pershing, our
soldiers in France ought not to have
more than $10 a month spending
money apiece. His theory Is that If
the married men are sending all their
money home, while unmarried men are
spending it freely on small comforts
and enjoyments, an undemocratic dif
ference is created. Anyway the char
acter bf some men is such that some
money that should come home to the
families will be dribbled away in
small change In the towns behind the
trench line.
One's first thought is that the sol
dier's pay is small at best, and that
he won't get any more luxuries and
blow-out than he ought to have. But
It has to be considered that the Brit
ish Tommies and the French Pollus
are not at all well paid. Too much
a show of cash on the part ot our boys
might promote unrest.
The French look upon the American
boys at their saviours. They are gen
uinely grateful, and they are too
friendly a people to perform many
mean acts. But It Is the custom In
Europe to look on every American as
a millionaire. The French will be
likely to drive a flourishing business
with the Sammies, and to consider It
legitimate to sell them anything they
will carry oft. The unmarried men
would better tuck away any coins not
needed Into their Insurance money,
The married men will do well to send
everything home they can.
A good many men will have all they
wish to spend from private sources.
Some will put it all Into such choice
comforts as can be bought or smug
gled. They will need all such luxur
ies themselves. Others will be asham
ed to enjoy anything until It has been
passed around. It Is a fair guess that
the latter will be much the more com
mon type. The hog class ot men Is
not specifically common and trench
life will promote sympathy and a de
sire to share things.
THE NEW TAX PAYERS.
The new income tax law will round
up a great new army ot tax payers
with all unmarried men assessed when
their incomes are over $1000, and all
married men with incomes over $2000
In the minds of many people income
taxes have been associated only with
persons of considerable prosperity,
Many who strongly favored the origi
nal law never supposed It would be ex
tended to hit their own moderate
earnings. They felt quite comfortable
while George was allowed to do it,
but it will seem a little different now
they are included.
When a new source ot taxation is
made available, legislators always
work it to the limit. War times
brings heavy burdens and leads to
new developments of taxation. It was
so In England, where the income tax
dates back to the hills ot the Napo
leonic wars. II is apt to prove true
that forms ot assessment once intro
duced tend to become fixed. So the
new income tax payers are quite like
ly to find themselves permanently on
the list, though the rate should be re
duced at the close of the war.
Unmarried men working tor about
any time on a blow-out with the boys.
It will not pay to think; the Internal
revenue men will forget about you.
As they are appointed in Washington,
they are not inclined to play local
favorites. It will save trouble If
everyone will promptly walk up and
settle.
TALKING TO THE SOLDIERS.
A great many public speakers are
undertaking to deliver addresses to
the soldier boys. There are the chap
lains and ministers and lecturers at
the army camps. There are orators
at patriotic rallies held in the soldiers'
home towns. It takes some tact to
hit it right with the soldiers, and some
of our public speakers don't quite
get it
As nearly as The Enterprise can
Judge the temper ot the soldiers, they
don't like what they call "Do or die"
talk. They don't care to be held up
as examples of .-grand self sacrifice
and as voluntarily giving up their lives
for their country. They are not sure
that they are more patriotic than any
one else, but feel that they have simp
ly responded to the command ot their
country, as any decent man must or
suffer disgrace.
A public speaker naturally likes to
express a firmer feeling for these
boys than that. But the soldiers
haven't much use for dismal talk or
putting on agony. It is a help to them
if they can take the thing in a light
hearted way. It is well for them to
put the best face on It, and think of
the pleasant companionship of camp
life and the benefits of seeing the
world.
The perils and sufferings and pos
sible wounds and death, they would
like to keep out of sight ,as much as
possible. If they think about that
side of it, thy may become morbid.
Public speakers can tell ot the
struggles and sacrifices of the fath-
ers and show that this country is
worth fighting for. They can dwell
on the causes of the war, so that these
can be thoroughly understood. They
can dwell on the advantages of army
training and urge the boys to keep
clean from all vices. But it doesn't
help a bit to roll off those oratorical
periods about martyrs to their coun
try and bones left to bleach on the
battle field.

King David and Queen Mary arc the rulers of seven hundred persons In the peculiar religious sect at Rtmton Har
bor. Mich., who believe they descended from the two lost tribes of Israel. The king and his subjaets neither cut
their hair nor shave their faces. But the king Is more modem than the lost tribes, because h Is a wonderful base
ball player. He is catcher on the community nine, while his quoeu Is loader ot the brass bund which plays In the
granasianu wniie me men are on mo uiuuiomi.
The people ot this city noot only
appreciate the Morning Enterprise,
but "Jack," a handsome collie, of thts
city, owned by one of the residents ot
this city, is showing his appreciation
by calling at the nearby homes and
collecting these papers as soon as
they are deposited by the newsboys.
The neighbors, who have been miss
ing their morning papers, have now be
come "wise," and found that It Is the
animal who is doing the stealing.
Complaints had come into the office
from those who have lost papers, stat
ing that their paper was not delivered,
while others claimed that someone
had stolen them. On Sunday morn
ing "Jack" returned to his home with
two Oregonians In his mouth, and
shortly after he brought three Morning
Enterprises. His mistress was be
wildered, and endeavored to find the
owners. All were found except one,
after the dog's mistress had made in
quiries through the neighborhood.
As soon as the morning papers are
deposited on the doorsteps by the
carriers, the heads ot the family can I
now be seen coming on their verandas
in their night clothes, and "beating"
the dog to them. One of the features
of the new trick the dog has taken
to himself Is that he is smart enough
to only call at the homes early in the
morning tor his papers, and never
attempts to take the evening papers.
He watches for the boys and quietly
slips to the doorstep as soon as pa
pers are left.
"Jack" Is a general favorite In the
neighborhood, and seems to delight In
carrying away his neighbors papers.

OREGON CITY, Ore, Oct. 29. -
(Editor ot the Enterrlse). My atten
tlon has been callud to an article pub
lished in the Enterprise, of October
36, In which Mr. Templeton Is quoted
as making certnin statements at i
meeting of the city council, as follows
"During the discussion of the even
lng the matter of the Improvement
District number ten was brought In,
In connection with tha law suit In Clr
cult Court against the city by C. II.
Dye. who seeks the cancellation of
certain liens for Improvement taxes
In tho district on tho grounds that the
district was not created in accord
ance with the city's charter. Coun
cilman Templeton commenting on the
matter, called to the council's atten
tion tho fact that the acting city attor
ney at the time of the creation of the
district, Mr. Schuobel. was appearing
for Mr. Dye In the prosecution of his
action. Mr. Templeton furthor stated
that he would be In favor of lnstltut
lng proceedings against the former
city attorney for his failure to perform
the acts that had resulted In the Insti
tution of the law suit, he also said
that the city would probably not be
able to do anything but it would at
least bring to light the position In
which the former city attorney and
the city stood."
I assume thot Mr. Templeton made
the statements otherwise the reportor
would not have published them. If
Mr. Templeton made any such state
ment ho stated what ho knew to be a
deliberate and malicious fijjsehood.
Sewer District No. 10 was attempted
to be organized In August. 1912, two
yonrs before I ever had anything to
do with the city's business. Many
thousands of dollars had boon ex
pended by the City Council without
authority and contrary to the provi
sions of the charter in constructing
sewers In what Is known as sewer dis
trict No. 10.
In August, 1914, I was requested to
prepare a contract for a sewer on
Fifteenth 8treet from Jackson Street
to Madison Street. When I Investi
gated the matter I found that there
was no sewer district No. 10 properly
established and notified the City Coun
cil to that effect, and that under the
proceedings no legal and valid as
sessment could ever be made against
any of the property on account of tho
construction ot sewers in sewer dis
trict No. 10, ami I stated to the City
Council that their only chance for
payment would be by completing the
outlet of the sewer to the river and
getting as many people as possible
In the district to sign up under the
Bancroft Bonding Act.
Mr. Templeton's statements are
malicious, untrue and contemptible,
and his expressions show tho kind of
a. man he Is. No man who haB any
honor or respect for the truth, know
ing tho facts as Mr. Templeton does,
having served in the council during
the whole procedure, would make such
statements.
