PATRIOTISM'S
TORCH PUT IN
LEGION'S CARE
G. A. R- SOUNDS CRY OF
"CARRY ON."
Responsibility Transferred to
Youthful Shoulders
at Chautauqua.
. At an imposing ceremonial Tuesday
forenoon at the auditorium at the Glad
stone Chautauqua, the tasjc of promot
ing patriotism and inculcating love of
courtry into the minds of the youth
of the -land, was transferred from the
fhoulders of the G. A. R to the more
virilo ones of the American Legion.
Tuesday was G. A. R. and American
Legion day, and the ceremony was the
thought of Arthur G. Beattie, secre
tary of the Chautauqua association,
and a member o( the local post of the
Legion. With Rev. H. G Edgar of
the Oregon City Presbyter 'an church
officiating, the mantle of the G. A. R.
was transferred in metaphor from the
shoulders of the Civil war veterans,
represented by C. A. Williams., com
mander of the department of Oregon,
to those of the over-seas boys, repre
sented by Mr. Beattie. The ceremony
was very impressive, and one of the
old "boys" commenced tc sing the
"Star Spangled Banner" under tne
strain of the moment.
Legion to Keep Faith.
In accepting Vhe grave charge hand
ed them, the legion, said Mr. Beattie,
would take over the work d K
gladly, but the honor and the rever
ence due the veterans of the Civil war
would be theirs always. Although an
imprompto affair, the ceremony was
said by many who witnessed it to to
one of the best things ever staged at
.a patriotic meeting at Chautauqua, and
Rev Edgar and The two principals
were heartily congratulated for their
splendid handling of the subject. Tbo
"Star Spangled Banner" was sung by
Nora Webster of Gladstone, accom
panied by CiT1'-? Trimble -Fuge, who

Artie Explorer Lectures. I
In the evening the illustrated lecture
on the Artie regions by Vilh.ialmnr
Stefansson drew "a large audience to
the pavilion. ' The wonder story of
a land little known to the public, but
thoroughly understood by the speaker,
was told i nan interesting manner,
and several popular concepts of the
people of the north and their modes of
living were destroyed by the speaker.
The proper way to prepare for an ex
pedition and how to survive. the long
winter months in the frozen north
were explained by Stefansson, and the
mistakes of the past w511 pe used as
guides for the future, as he is even
now preparing plans for another ex- i

Reduction of Rates
on Livestock Urged
FrocessOf Deflation
The business depression has not been as serious
as many, people feared. Bank -clearings run 20 per
cent below last year, so that the falling off in volume
is not large, because it is being done- orf a lower level
of prices. Many merchants say the actual sale of arti
cles is as good as a year ago.
There is much unemployment, though a good deal
has been catAsed by strikes. It cannot be claimed that
the recovery has been as fast as had been hoped. Two
reasons for this slower recovery might be named. One
is that no one country can recover from war conditions
at once when the rest of the world is still upsetl There
have been many people who believed that the United
States should look after its own interests' and let the
rest of the world go to the devil.
If the rest of the world goes to the devil, the United
States will suffer, as the devil, was always a deceiver
and never pays for the goods he buys. The United
States has got to help the rest of the world get over
its troubles, and it can not stand aloof in selfish isolation.
The second great difficulty has been the unever
ness of the deflation. The farmers have seen their
products drop to a point only 1 5 to 23 per cent above
1914. Meanwhile the things the farmer has to buy
have not dropped an any such proportion. Union labor,
according to the United States department of labor,
gets 99 per cent more than it did in 191 4.
The reason for unemployment, " is that manu
tured products still cost too high. But the people must
be patient, and remembers that these changes can not
come all at once. It is easily possible to exaggerate econ
omic evils.
The millions of unemployed can get work, and can
bring prices down, when they are willing to- work for
wages compared with the price the farmer gets for
food. The volume of business now being done would
have been considered very large five years ago. Any
business man who will hustle and keep his products .
well advertised, can prosper.

reports from Washington that a sub
stantial decrease in freight rates
on 'livestock in approximately ty,o
thirds of the United States, from tt
Pacific coast to the Mississippi and
Chicago and from the Gulf to Can
ada, was recommended today to the
interstate commerce commission by
Examiner Disque of the commission.
The oral arguments will be held to
morrow.
An application for an order reducing
livestock rates was requested of th9
interstate commerce commission by
the National Livestock Shippers lea
gue on the ground that the rates were
prohibitive and menaced the livestock
industry.
The complaint was directed against
all carload rates on ordinary livestock
in the territory embraced by the west
ern and mountain-Pacific grojips.
The examiner state - that whtta
rates were not excessive when judged
from a strictly transportation stand;
point, they should nevertheless be suh
btantially reduced to assist in tidins
the livestock industry over its pres
ent "period of adversity and to hasteij
a return of normalcy conditions and
business prosperity."
"We have no hesittancy in saying
that our judgment is that they should
be reduced," Examiner Disque said.
Clifford Thome, one of the attorneys
for the shippers' league, said today
that he felt confident the commission
would act favorably on Disaue's rec
ommendations. Thorne and other at
torneys for the leabue are here pre
pared to present tomorrow "conclu
sive evidence" of the precarious con
dition of the livestock industry, due
to the present freight rates.

expected that it will approximate the
arges number of petitions ever caile 1
at one hearing.
. SALEM ,Or., July 19. C. E. Spence,
master of the state grange, and of
Clackamas county, was among the
first to give testimony at the phono
hearing here today.
Mr. Spence, who was called as a
witness for the Oregon telephone fed
eration, conducted his own examina
tion by simply discussing the farmers'
economic condition and the inter
relation of this condition with the
Increased costs of telephone service.
Farmers Badly Hit.
"The farmers of Oregon are being
hit nn all sides," he testified. "The
federal 'reserve bank has ruled that
he must sell his products as quickly
ri3 they are ready for market, other
wise he is in the class of a specula
tor and cannot receive financia.1
assistance from the government. The
freight rates have been increared, the
-materials required- by . the farmers
lnvo not decreased in price mater
lally, while the products of the
farmer has dropped 58 rer cent.
Rate Increase Is Analyzed. ',
"The telephone rate increase means
that under existing market condi
tions it takes ?1S worth of goods
raised on the farm to. pay a tele-
lihone bill for one year, if compari
son is made with tne iate3 and pres
ent prices with those of two years
go
"Two years ago the farmer's tele
phone bill could be paid by two and
one-h.ilf bushels of wheat and no"
it takes nine bushels. Formerly h-
could pay his hiii with nine dozen of
eggs, but now it takes 25 dozen. For
merly nine pounds of wool would'
care for the year's bill, now if he
can get 15 cents a pound which he
cannot, it would take 6o pounds of
wool to cover the telephone charges.
Reasonable Rise Fnvoied.
"Well, I thiak that a reasonable
rate at this time for the telephon
company would be one which woul
force them to bear a loss not to ex
ceed oO per cent. Others are baarin
their share. Why not the telephon
company?"
In cross-exam?nm the witness. At
torney Shaw developed the fact that
Mr. Ppence had made no study of th
rate decision or any of the evidence
presented at the first rate hearing,
hat presented his testimony today, re
lying upon information trained from
the newspapers and frmn talking
with farmers -no are subscribers to
the telephone service.
The following points are expected
to be contentions on behalf of the
public:. . .
That the return to the Pacific Tele
phone and. Telegraph company are
greater than professed by the com
pany. "'A
That facts and economic conditions
do not justify the increase allowed by
the service commission in its order
of last March.
That the service furnished by the
telephone company is inadequate
That the relationship existing
amorsr tne several classes or rates
not equable as to percentage.
That the operating expenses of the
telephone company are too high, and
that revenues could be increased by
a reduction in operating cost.
That the relationship between the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com
pany and the Western Electric com
pany from which the P. T. & T. buys
its materials is inequitable
That the payment of 4' per cent
of gross receipts by the Pacific Tele
phone and Telegraph company to the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company is an inequitably burden,
which falls on the public.

announced that Mr. Osborne might
face a charge of manslaughter, but
this was abandoned after all the wit
nesses' to the accident had been exam

The coroner's jury, following th:
inquest over the body of Rudolph
Samuelson, who occupied a seat in
the. car driven by Osborne, returned
verdict to the effect lhat the lat-
ter's machine was proceeding at an
excessive rate of speed at the time
of the accident. Samuelson was
fatally injured while Mrs. Roy West-

was feared would result in death.
Mrs. Ramp sustained a dislocated

New Pump Supplies

oodles of sparkling, cool water fresh oI the position without being deputized
were stated officially and the present
incumbent giving a hearing. The sher
iff also refused to deputize Wagy.
The attorney general was consulted
by those concerned ovef the matter,
and stated that the appointment and
discharge of deputies was covered by
paragraph 11, chapter 174, - laws of
i921, which provides that the court
may provide for deputies, who are to
be named by the officer in charge of
ihe office for whom tfiey are pro
vided. Under this provision Long serves
daring the pleasure of the sheriff, and
no officer, whether named by tho
from the -Clackamas, is being forced
into the reservoirs and thence through
the city mains by the new Fairbanks-
Morsa centrifugal pump, which began
operations Tuesday morning.
The new pump is an electrically driv
en three-stage pump, with a capacity
ol 2o0 gallons per minute, and cost
approximately $1500. According to
Water Superintendent T. E. Gault,
the eld pump, which was installed in
June, 1913, is Btill doing duty, but on
account of tho increased demand two
pumps have been made necessary.
At the present time water is being
supplied to 310 families and the Glad
stone Chautauqua.

Telephone reports from the vicinity
of Molala, received today acthe office
of County School Superintendent Ved
der, indicate that the special election
for the purpose of consolidating IS
districts-in that, locality into a union
high school district, has passed be
yond a doubt. Messages have been re
ceived that the proposition passed by
a large majority in 12 of the districts.
Tabulation of the vote, or an exact
count, will not be available for several
days.
The movement for the consolidation
!nto a union high school district was
started a month ago when petitions
from the eighteen districts were filed.
The consolidated district will center
about Molalla, where at present there
s a high school being attended by all
of the pupils of the district .
Additions Planned Later.
The immediate purpose of the con
solidation is to equalize the taxation
of the different districts. No imme
diate improvement in the buildings Is
planned, according to Superintendent
Vedder, but new equipment will prob
ably have to be added in the near fu
ture. .
The upkeep, according to Professor
Vedder, will not increase the tax bur
den. Tho outlying districts at pres
ent are assessed 3.3 mills as a high
chool tax. As the total valuation of
the newly consolidated district is $2,
600,000, this under the present levy
will provide a sufficient upkeep for the
school. - -
Directors Not Named.
Who has been elected directors of.
the new districts cannot be determined
until the vote is ;'n from all of the
listricts and tabulated. Twelve candi- "
dates were voted upon, those five get-
ring the highest number of votes to
be elected. In determining whether
or not the consolidation- carried, two
computations are taken into considera
tion. The measure must have a ma
jority of the total number of votes
cast and must also be favored in a
majority of the districts, irrespective
of the actual number of votes.
The districts which are consolidat
:ng are Glad Tidings, Rural Dell, Mea- -iowbrook.
Dickey Prairie, Molalla,
Liberal, Teasel Creek, Russelville, Dry-'
'and, Mulino, Mable Grove, Yoder,
South Oak Grove, Union Mills. Bear
Creek, Eiby, Mount Hope and the
?reater part of the Engle district.
Progress Is Seen.
The consolidation, according to Su
nerintendent "Vedder, paves the way
for larger and better schools It is in
keeping with the modern tendency to
enlarge individual schools rather than
spread out. Under such a system tha
increased financial support makes it
possible for the district to employ bet
ter teachers, teach a wider range of
work, and afford the children greater
opportunities The fact that a con
solidated district serves a larger num
ber of students, requires a greater
number of teachers. Thus it becomes
possible to secure instructors, spec-
alists in their own lines, instead )f
the teacher of the smaller school, who
must, upon a basis of general informa
tion, give instruction in everything
from English to geometry.
