DO NOT PERSECUTE NEWSPAPERS
Jackson Bill Would Work Hardship On
The Country Press
This is no time to persecute the
newspaper of Oregon, for this state's
successful response to the calls of the
nation In every community are too
dependent upon the leadership and
publicity of the press. As surely as a
hardship and financial loss is forced
' upon these interests, so surely will
the state and nation suffer.
At the last legislative session the
efforts of C. 8. Jackson to defeat the
fair legislation and protection being
asked tor by the Oregon State Editor
ial Association met with partial fail
ure, although his influence modified
much of the legislation enacted. Now
he has carried his Dght to the polls, In
two inltlatlTO measures the effect of
- which Is to cripple the country press
revenues.
These are perilous days tn the news
paper fields, especially In the smaller
communities which are sufering from
removal of labor to larger cities and
generally feeling the hardships of the
war more than the metropolitan cen
ters. All that a newspaper has to sell Is
its advertising space and all that It is
asking la a fair profit on same. Every
MEETING DEFERRED
SALEM. Ore., Oct. 17 The Meet
ing of the State Emergency Board
scheduled to be held her yesterday
was adjorned for lack of a quonun. Ai
euort will be made to get the board to
gether .next Monday. ,
A request' by representatives ef the
Oregon Agricultural Colege for author
ity to create a deficiency In the college
maintenance fund to provide means for
carrying on the work of the Student
Army Training Corps was te have
been considered. The college asks for
between $37,000 and $38,009. The re
quest was not acted upon at tka Elect
ing a week ago for the reason that the
board waa dubious of its authority.
The matter was submitted to Attorney
-General Brown, who held tfcat the
authority exists.
Another request was to have been
presented by Dean Cordley, of O. A. C.
chairman of the StateUme Board, and
Warden Murphy, of the State Peniten
tiary, who is a member of the board.
They were to ask for $500 far the
construction of bunkers. They say that
the plant, now in operatien, rjswst sus
pend .unless bunkers are built, since it
is impossible to keep cars at the plant
continually to haul away the line.

article going Into the manufacture of
a newspaper from paper, Inks and ma
chinery to the skilled labor has gone
up In price from 40 per cent to 100 per
cent tn the last four years.
The price of advertising should be
increased but few country publishers
are able to obtain this increase, as
advertising is considered by too many
of the smaller town merchants as a
charity and placed In a spirit of pa
tronising home Industry rather than
as a paying business proposition.
The value of the country newspaper
in any community is too great and too
well known to the voters to need fur
ther elucidation here, for it is the heart
of the community, the mirror of its
activities and the leading factor In
Its development and progress.
Pew country papers are financial
successes as compared with other lines
of Industry, few owners and publish
ers are earning salaries- within hund
reds of dollars proportionate to their
labors and responsibilities so why
enact legislation which will prove a
hardship and oppress this Important

M TERMS PRESIDENT
Will GIVE ACCEPTED
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. Germany
has replied to l'resUleut Wilson with
a note which, though no one la pre
pared to say that It will lead the
President even to continue exchanges
on the aubject of au armistice and
peace, has at feast served almost to
bring couvtctton here that the people
of Germany actually are taking the
reins of government and slueerely
desire peace on any terms the United
States and the allies ure willing to
give.
There was no intlimtttou toulght of
the attitude of the President and
probably there will bo nouo until the
official text of the now German com
munication ha been received.
The President was in conference all
evening with Secretary leasing dis
cussing the note as received by wire
less lute in the day. -
Like the reply to the President's
Inquiries a week ago, this note waa
seut out from the Herman wireless
stations and picked up in the allied
countries many hours before the of
ficial text could move by cable. The
official version probably w ill come to
morrow through the Swiss Ugatlon
here.
As received by wireless the note Is
believed to be slightly Karbted in the
importance sentences regarding condl.
Hons for the evacuation of Invaded
territory and for ait armistice.
The Information received today Is
believed to be the official text of the
German reply, as it comes from the
German government wireless station
at Nauen, near Berlin.
Germany protests against the atlega
tlon of illegal and Inhuman actions
by the German land and sea forces
The note declares that the answer
to. President Wilson and the German
offer of peace comes from "a govern
ment free from arbitrary and Irre
sponsible Influence," supported by the
overwhelming majority of the Ocr-
man people.
Strict Instructions have been Issued
to the German troops to spare prlvato
property, said the note.
It denies that the German navy
(submarines) had purposely destroy
ed lifeboats and the lives of passen
gers.
The German government, adds the
note, has Issued orders to all subma
rine commanders precluding the tor
pedoing of passenger ships.
It wras stated, however, that the
German government was unable to
guarantee the order reaching all com
manders.
The note asks that the armistice
be left to the military leaders of
both Bides.
Germany expresses the hope that
President Wilson will, hot approve
demands that are Irreconcilable with
German honor. German army looters,
says the note, are now being punish
ed.
The suggestion Is made that a com
mission of neutrals shall be appointed
to Investigate the charges that Ger
many was guilty of outrages on land
and sea.
Furthermore, says the note, Presi
dent Wilson has been unequivocally
answered as to his query with whom
he Is deuling.
(In one of his notes President Wil
son asked Chancellor Max whether he
was speaking for the German people
or his autocratic masters In making
peace overtures.)
The German note says the consti
tution has ben amended so that here
after the consent of the German peo
ple will be required before the coun
try can declare war.
Bl THE PRESIDENT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22. Major-
Generals Hunter Liggett and Robert L.
nullard were nominated by President
Wilson today to be Lieutenant-Generals.
General Liggett commands the first
American Field Army In France and

They become the only Lleutenant-Gen-erals
on the active list, their new rank
being for the war period, like that of
General Perishing, General Liggett is
a Major-ueneral in the regular estab
lishment, and General Bullard Is a
Brigadier.
General Liggett was given direct
command of the First Field Army whe
it was organized, and led In the first
major offensive when the St. Mlhlel
salient was wiped out in a day.

ed necessary to carry on the war."
