The absurdity of President Wilson's statement that only 1 per cent of our increased foreign trade Is due to war trade being apparent, Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo shifts the Admin istration's ground. He first understates the amount of war trade and then makes a comparison with the esti- w.n4-A f nnr not in (m1a in order to reach the desired conclusion of one per cent. He states the exports of war ma terials, exclusive of foodstuffs, in the fiscal year 1916 at $930,000,00. The University of Oregon fixes the total at $1,645,363,022, an increase of Jl, 400,609,997 over 1914. This increase alone is 50 per cent greater than Mr. McAdoo'B total. It includes horses, mules, brass manufactures, aero planes, automobiles, motorcycles, freight cars, chemicals, cartridges, dynamite, gunpowder, other explosives, cotton manufactures, rubber shoes, tires, steel bars, billets, firearms, horseshoes, gas engines, steam en gines, metal-working machinery, wire, lead pigs, sole leather, uppers, men's shoes, harness, wool manufactures, naptha, alcohol, zinc. All of these commodities are clearly war material, and the Increase In our exports of them for 1916 over 1914 is certainly due to the war. The same statement Is true of the Increase In our exports of foodstuffs over 1914. This Increase was $477, 464.159. The total increase In exports of war material and foodstuffs for 1916 over 1914 was $1,87S,074,156. The total increase of all exports was $1,954,713,749, leaving only $76,639, 593 as not having been produced by the war. Mr. McAdoo relies on our vast in crease of financial resources to con tinue our prosperity after the war. The pile of gold which we shall have accumulated will be the prize after which the whole outside world will reach. The nations will be banded together for commercial conquest as they have never been before. They will be heavily in our debt, and will do their utmost to pay their debts in TrrmAa TT'o," fAW . -1 -1 C! Vl ,T -nrfll Villi, large quantities of material for re construction of the devastated dis- trlcts, but these districts constitute only a small proportion of their total productive resources. Belligerent nations after the war are depicted by Mr. McAdoo as nations of cripples, widows and orphans, with a greatly reduced able-bodied male pop ulation. While the male population will be seriously reduced, the remain der is being brought to a degree of ef ficiency never before known. Women have been trained In Industry to a point where they will possibly make good the war's ravages in the Indus trial army. Labor-saving and auto matic machinery has vastly increased productive capacity and reduced cost of production. The widows will not be Idle: they will work. The war will doubtless be followed by a period of re-organization and re construction in Europe. When this process is completed we shall feel the full force of competition from a re organized, revivified and re-energized Europe. Free trade will be abandoned as a Utopian, abstract theory, as is evident from the present attitude of Its chief champion. That the United States may hold its own In this coming commercial war, It is necessary that our Government be administered by men whose principles are in accord with the conditions and who will not be embarrassed in act ing as those conditions require by a desire to bolster up an abstract prin ciple which has proved impracticable. Those men are to be found only at the head of the Republican party. The hopelessness of any adequate action by the Democrats is proved by the denial of obvious facts by President Wilson and Secretary McAdoo. Walter Tooze, Jr., a vigorous and successful young attorney, is candi date on the Republican ticket for At torney of Polk Couty. There is great anxiety among the Democrats to de feat him. solely on political grounds. The chief material sought to be used against Mr. Tooze is that he was the attorney for several women in the Ma rion County suit for widows' pensions, and he won. Of the Supreme Court decision in the case, the principal Democratic paper of Portland said: "The decision clarifies the law. and puts the mothers' pension system on it practical and sane basis." If that is so and evidently It la Mr. Tooze would seem to have performed a pub lic service. Since there appear to be no reasons for his defeat except the desire of certain politicians, and since there are other reasons than politics for his election, it is obviously up to the Republicans of Polk County to do their duty by Mr. Tooze. SAFETY FIRST OB PtTY vlTRST. Posterity will appraise the merit of the Wilson boast that he "Kept us out of war." Of course, he did not. Mex ico is only a little war, and doesn't count greatly. Yet it is fair to ask whether or not a stern attitude toward Mexico, and a consistent and courageous assertion of American rights in Mexico and an unfaltering determination, to do our duty through pacification of Mexico and protection of American lives there, would not have done more to en shrine Woodrow Wilson In the hearts of patriotic America than the uncer tain and dubious policy actually adopted. Is America great because It avoids the plain path of duty, wherever It leads 7 Or Is America great because it Is now to make safety first Its cardinal National idea? George Washington did not keep us out of war with Great Britain. Abraham Lincoln did not keep us out cf war with the enemies of the Union. William McKinley did not keep us out of war with Spain. Under these three Presidents Amer ica reached its greatest heights of service, duty, loyalty, nationalism. It is- the American tradition to keep out of war if it can be done with honor and self-respect; but it Is not the American tradition to strike our flag and sneak feebly away from dan ger or trouble In that way we inevi tably provoke contempt and we invite war. Woodrow Wilson is not another Abraham Lincoln. He cannot be be cause he does not think and act in terms of the greater destiny of the Union. KmDUTED. The Oregonlan has several times sneered at the democracy for repudiating one plank of its platform which reads: "Wa favor a single presidential term, and to that end will urge the adoption of an amendment making the President of the United States Ineligible for re-election, and ui e pledge the candidate of this convention to this principle." The Oregonlan knows that it would require an amendment to the Con stitution to make this effective. The pledge plank did not pledge Its candidate, who at that time -was riot named, not to make the race for a second term. It would have been foolish to do so. for that would have made a second term Impossible for a Democrat, while leaving a Republican or any other party candidate free to make as many races for the office, as he pleased. -Salem Capital Journal. Oh, fudge! Not even President Wilson, who can distinguish and di vide a hair twlxt south and southwest side, has offered any such petty plea. Did the Capital Journal ever read the Wilson letter to Representative Palmer, written shortly after his elec tion, but before his inauguration, and quietly suppressed for three years? For it was in effect a repudiation of the single term and an acknowledge ment that he had run on a single- term platform. He was committed to "this princi ple." Of course he was. He knew It. The country knows It. Now he for gets it. - But suppose -that "this principle" refers to the constitutional amend ment, which it does cot. What has Mr. Wilson or Congress done for that? Forgotten, of course. Never again will it be urged by a Democratic plat form, or candidate, or Congress. Finally, Mr. Wilson was nominated before, and not after, the Baltimore platform was adopted. We cannot see that it makes any 'difference whatso ever. Can our Salem friend? However you read that single term plank the entire Democratic party, from its candidate down, has not kept its pledge, for it has repudiated both the "principle" of the single term and the "principle" of a constitutional amendment. ON HIS HONOR. Let us make the same inquiry of Colonel Sam White, chairman of the State Democratic Committee, that we made of Senator Chamberlain: Will he aver on his honor as a gentleman and under the common ob ligation of fair and honest dealing among all citizens, that he believes that Mr. Hughes at Milwaukee, or anywhere, threatened or promised to repeal "the Rural Credits . Law, the Federal Reserve Banking Law, the Child Labor Law, and the numerous labor laws and many other laws af fecting the welfare of the people?" So Mr. White declares in his recent let ter to his fellow Democrats. Or does he believe on his honor as a gentleman and his obligation as a citizen that Mr. Hughes demanded In tervention In and annexation of Mex ico? Yet Colonel Sam so stated, also to his uninformed Democrats. Let Colonel Sam know just where Mr. Hughes stands as to Mexico. He said in his letter of acceptance, and has never said otherwise: The Nation has no policy of ag gression toward Mexico. We liave no desire for any part of Iter territory. We demand vfrom Mexico Uie protec tion or the lives and property of our citizens and the security of our bor der from depredations. To a. stable government, appropriately discharg ing international obligations, we should give ungrudging support. Come now. Colonel Sam, the col umns of The Oregonian are. open to you, within reasonable limitations, to give the real measure of your political creed in these Important particulars. . I.KST WE FORGET. While we may be greatly excited over election of a President, there is, when all is said and done, Just as much of vital interest to the economic welfare of the state In proper disposal of bills and amendments as there Is In choice between Mr. Hughes. and Mr. Wilson. Those voters who confine their ex pressions to candidates will fail to do their full duty as electors. The single tax amendment, for example, menaces the good name of Oregon and the wel fare of every citizen. We can con ceive no greater calamity than that a majority of the voters should declare for confiscation of land and repudia tion of honest indebtedness, such as would be the effect of this measure's adoption. Indicative of the people's good sense will be the vote on the bill declaring It a penal offense to make vaccination a prerequisite to attendance at school or to employment. Compulsory vaccination Is, very rarely if ever practiced except in times of actual danger from small pox. Vaccination is wholly harmless and unquestionably effective. At tacks upon it are no more weird than the objections and superstitions of the natives of interior China concerning all modern scientific treatment and prevention of disease. Kill the bill. Oregon now has an unfair and senseless Sunday closing law, which has not been enforced for twenty-five years. One bill proposes to wipe It out and should receive a majority yes vote. Failure to repcfil it will result in demands upon the Legislature by blue law advocates for an air-tight Sunday. Its repeal will leave Sun day observance as it now stands. Persons Interested in the reopen ing of the breweries have engaged in a struggle with the radical prohibi tionists, and each faction has pre sented a measure. The public is asked to settle their differences and take the consequences. Yet, from very source has come commendation of the economic and moral efficiency of the existing prohibition law. Sub mission of any amendment is un timely. Both should be defeated. The Oregonlan, today, publishes again a full list of recommendations on amendments and laws. They are commended to the attention of the voters. TIIE APOLOGY IS ACCEPTED. The Oregonlan acknowledges Its appreciation of the handsome retrac tion so prominently made by the Portland Journal on its first page Friday evening of the untruth, so often and so bitterly asserted by that newspaper, that The Oregonian has had no good word to say for Wood row Wilson, that it has always crit icised and condemned, and never, never under any circumstances ap proved a single policy or deed of the Administration. It should be understood also that this retraction and Implied apology has been offered without solicitation from The Oregonian. To be sure it has been a long time on the way, and that leads us to expect that sooner or later probably later The Journal will as prominently and contritely re tract its fake on the Washington Su preme Court dry-law decision, its misrepresentations concerning the "golden special," and its bold In sistence on the transparent falsehood that Mr. Hughes advocates, repeal of the entire Democratic accomplish ment. Yes, it may even in time apologize to Senator Day. The belated discovery by the Jour nal, which so shatters its oft re peated accusation, is an editorial pub lished by The Oregonian at the close of Mr. Wilson's first year In the Presidency. The double - column headlines our esteemed contemporary places over the editorial may be a, trifle exaggerated. They read, "THE OREGONIAN PRAISES WILSON. HONESTY AND POLICIES LAUDED. HIS LAWS ACCLAIMED TRIUMPH." Still there was In truth considerable praise of the President In that article. The Oregonlan has praised Mr. Wil son at other times. It has upheld him when he was thundering in the Index ind when The Oregonian and others believed his words meant deeds If be were ever called upon to make them good. It is a matter of pride with The Oregonian that during the trying and critical days following the sinking of the Lusitania it upheld the President's hands to the best of its ability. It neither balked, hesitated nor quibbled. Yet The Journal was too timid for days to give one word of counsel or encouragement to the President whom It now so vigorously supports. The sole burden, meaning and text of its comment on the Lusitania was, "This is one of the consequences of war. Ain't it awful?" During the past three and one-half years, punctuated as they have been by assaults upon The Oregonian's fairness toward Mr. Wilson, it has been sustained by a consciousness of rectitude and a feeling that virtue would triumph in the end. And the vindication, now that it has come, i all the more acceptable because it implies the reformation of a benighted brother for whose veracity The Ore- gonian as one deeply interested in the honor of the journalistic profession cannot help but feel a brotherly solic itude. VOTE ON THE MAIN ISSUE. The issues of the election as they concern Oregon were plainly set forth by Representative McArthur in his speech at the final Republican rally on Saturday night. One great quest tion before Oregon voters is whether their own lumber and shingle mills shall run or whether they shall shut down and permit the American mar ket to b supplied by the .Canadian mills. There is one other alternative to shutting down to reduce wages to the scale paid to the Oriental la bor of the Canadian mills. Mr. McArthur reminds us of the consequence of shutting down. It has been experienced recently enough to be fresh in all memories. It is thou sands of men walking the streets. without work and hence without food or homes except such as public or private charity provides. It Is hun dreds of thousands of dollars paid out of taxes to provide free lodgings and free food, or to provide relief work for these mn. The only reasons why the same con ditions do not prevail now are that war prosperity has stimulated the de mand for lumber in the Eastern mar kets and has drawn many of the un employed to Eastern munition fac tories. If Democratic Administration continues, the return of peace will bring back the conditions which pre vailed from the time of President Wil son's election until the present year, The only escape from those conditions is return to power of the Republican party, and with it restoration of the protective tariff, which would restore tne neaitny prosperity or peace throughout-the United States in place or the levered prosperity of war, every dollar of "which is won by the blood and tears of other nations. The greatest shame of the Democratic par ty is that in one breath it boasts of having kept us out of war, and in the next breath It boasts of a prosperity which is the sole product of war. x We in Oregon have felt the full force of the free trade which the Un derwood tariff professes to establish. As a matter of fact, it is a free trade law only for the West; It protects the manufacturing industries of the East and South. It gives free trade to the Western farmer, wtiile it protects all products of the Southern farmer, who can profit by protection. The evils wrought by the unsound theory of it3 authors are aggravated by the section al favoritism with which that theory is applied. Oregon surely has had enough of being used as an economic experiment station for Democratic theories. Its people should vote as their own wel fare demands, especially when their welfare corresponds with that of every other state. They should not be deceived Into voting according to side issues or false issues, such as a false alarm of war or a mendacious charge that Mr. Hughes, the one man who won fame by defying bosses, is now the tool of bosses or the claim of .Democrats to sole rrealt ror progres sive laws which are the result of Joint action of both parties. 'They should surely see that their own vital inter ests will be best- served by the elec tion of Mr. Hughes as a Republican President and of Mr. McArthur as a Republican Representative to work In harmony for the establishment of that genuine prosperity which does not de pend on war for Its continuance. Settlement of the longshoremen's strike Is doubly welcome, both because it ends conflict on the waterfront and because it ends discrimination between Portland and Puget Sound ports in cost of handling cargo. The port should go on as It has begun by ex empting home-owned ships from local taxes and by providing facilities for coaltng ships at the same cost as at other ports. Then the return of nor mal shipping conditions will enable the port to derive full benefit from deep water on the bar and In the channel of the Columbia River. It Is a matter of history which we would fain forget that the state of Oregon was one of six states to reject the fifteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. There is an op portunity this year for Oregon to re trieve Its record. There is up for passage an amendment repealing the now inoperative section of the state constitution denying the right of suffrage to negroes and mulattoes. The presence of the section In the consti tution Is an unpleasant reminder. Vote 304 Yes; While the Greeks fight out their civil war, the allied army stands by to give Venizelos aid and comfort by shipping a few guns and cartridges to him and by revealing the weak points in the royalists" position. As the al lied soldiers applaud, there must be a perfect Babel or tongues f rencn. English. Russian, Italian, Serbian, Montenegrin and whatever language the Albanians speak. There Is a strong similarity be tween the treatment meted out to Americans by Villa's bandits and that given to Armenians by the Turks. But the Armenians have been accustomed to such treatment for centuries, while the Americans have not yet become accustomed to it, and never submitted to it until spineless diplomacy gov erned their foreign relations. The Portland Building Trades' Coun cil sends us notice that it has resolved to support the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson. Having swallowed one "fierce partisan of the open shop" or per haps been swallowed by him the Building Trades' Council might prop erly extend Its good wishes and confi dence, say, to Tom McCusker and General Harrison Gray Otis. Great Britain expects to be Inde pendent pf the United States In the matter of steel production by rext March, having under war provisions advanced the Industry. Under Wilson and the Underwood tariff she might be selling to us, except that the elec tion of . Hughes and a Republican Congress tomorrow will eliminate such a possibility. The reception given by British statesmen to every peace move made by Germany may be construed as a shout to tfie French, Russians and Italians who are holding the Teutons at bay: "Don't let him go yet: I'll be ready In a minute to come out and finish him." But can John Bull do it? War prosperity has the same ef fect as Mr. Bryan's free silver theory would have had it reduces the value of the dollar. A dollar now will only do the worlj which would have been done by 69 cents three years ago, out Mr. Wilson proudly says: "I did It.' It makes little difference to the taxpayer whether the assessment is high or low. When the assessment goes down, the tax levy goes up. If husbands In other states were like Oregon men, their wives would vote, which, by the way, is the reason Oregon Is a Republican state. Condolence is extended the Oregon boys in camp on the border, now go ing into Winter quarters. Wilson did not keep them out of war. Every foreign manufacturer is on the anxious bench today over the re sult tomorrow. Well he may. Ameri ca votes for Americans. There Is a closo resemblance be tween the Oregon-Washington foot ball game and the war on some parts of the front in Europe. If, according to the New York Her ald, a hair's weight may decide. It's comforting to contemplate Hughes' whiskers. Fresno's misfortune Is Its one crop, which depends upon the weather. Yet a lean .year must be expected now and then. In a few days the taker of straw votes will give place to the payer of freak bets In claiming public atten tion. Just a word to election boards to morrow. Open the polls on time to accommodate the early voters. Of course California Is safely Re publican, for there is Hiram Johnson to lead with 175.000. Suppose employers extend the noon hour somewhat tomorrow to enable the men to vote. Wilson ended his campaign with the cry of "coercion!" The worst ls-yet to come. Vote tomorrow to abolish the soup, house and breadline for all time. . "Hughes, Hughes, Hughes! We want Hughes!" Sounds good, doesn't it? w no do you suppose wrote manifestado for Mr. Ford? that Do not vote to put your country "on the bum." When in doubt, call 'it" for Hughes, Tuesday Hughes day.

Published by arrangement with the Chicago simple: methods fob modifying MILK. The usual methods for modifying; milk are too complicated for many mothers and for homes not well equipped. Here are two impler meth ods, so simple. In fact, that any mother can carry them out: The, first method, taken from Kel logg's "Hygiene of infancy," Is the simpler of the two. First month One-thtrd milk, two thirds water, two ounceg'malt sugar to the quart. A tablespoon get aside for the pur pose should be used to measure the sugar. One ounce of malt sugar should be weighed and used as a guide. Dur ing the first month the baby should be fed 20 ounces a day in eight feedings of two and one-half bunces each, in creased gradually to 24 ounces divided into four-ounce feedings, six feedings day at one month. Second month Half water with two ounces of malt sugar to the quart. The amount of food should Increase grad ually from 24 to SS ounces. The num ber of feedings in the second month should be six. After that. five. The amount at a feeding should Increase month by month from four ounces at one month to seven and one-quarter ounces at Fix months. Seven to nine months Two-thirds milk, one-third water, two ounces malt sugar to the quart. The amount of modified milk taken should range from 32 to 36 ounces. The number of feed ings should be five. The amount at a feeding should range from six and one half to eight ounces. Tenth to 12th month Undiluted milk, with two ounces of malt sugar to the quart. Amount of food in 24 hours. 8 to 34 ounces. Number of feedings. five; amount at a feeding, five . and two-thirds to six ounces. Older babies (supplement the milk mixture with other foods. In the first weeks, after the food has been Increased in etrength. it is well to slightly decrease the quantity given. Nearly every mother can and practi cally all of them should nurse their babies until the babies are three months old. Grulee feeds babies between 3 and 9 months of sge as follows: The baby Is weighed. For each pound of weight the baby Ik given an ounce and a half of milk. This Is diluted with enough water to bring up the quantity to the requirement. Examples A 3-months-old baby weighing 11 pounds is given 1H ounces of milk, eight and one-half ounces of water and one ounce of malt food In 21 hours. This is given in five feedinge of five ounces each. A 6-months-old baby weighing 14 pounds Is given 21 ounces of milk. 14 ounces of water and one ounce of malt food. This is given in five feedings of seven ounces each. A baby 9 months of age Is given one and one-quarter to one and one-third ounces of milk to the pound (In a day). The milk may be diluted with a thick starch gruel (for Instance, an ounce of barley flour to a pint of water). It will be noted that Grulee gives less malt sugar than does Kellogg. The amount of malt sugar to be given de pends somewhat upon the tendency to constipation. If there Is much gas. colic and diarrhea with brown stools, it should be materially lessened. If there is much tendency to constipation it should be increased. Either malt sugar, mall! food, malt extract or dextrl-mal-tose can be used. Bad Breath. C. V. writes: "Will you kindly tell me if there is any cure for bad breath? It can't be from my teeth. I Just had my teeth fixed and I brush my teeth in the morning and at night." REPLY. Assuming that your teeth, tonsils and nose are not causing your trouble, you can assume that your Intestines are responsi ble. The trouble Is to be prevented by overcoming constipation and by dieting. Lemon Jelly. Reader writes: "You publish Dr. Jos lln's recipes for diabetic lemon Jelly, in which 1 read: 'Saccharin to sweeten cream one ounce.' But it does not say how much cream, nor did I ever know that cream was put into lemon Jelly. Then, in "ice cream directions,' it says '-saccharin.' but not how much. Is there not an error or misprint? I would be glad to try the recipes if as sured of correctness." REPLY. The formula for lemon Jelly la as fol lows: Lrmon Juice, 1 ounce (.'IO c. c); water, 12-3 ounces (M c. c.: gelatine, 60 gralr.s (4 grams): cream. 1 ounce CiO c c); sarchan, to sweeten. J ne.t lor ice cream is: vream per cent), 3 ounces (UO c. c); water. 1-3 ounces lO c. c): cps, 1 (150 grams); saccharin, to sweeten: flavoring, to taste. The amount of saccharin in each Instance Is to be determined by taste. The less you use with satisfaction to your palate the bet ter.

Limitation 330 CAMPAIGN PRODIXES ROORBACKS Some Charges Made In Interest of Wil son Have Opposite Effect. PORTLAND. Nov. 6. (To the Editor.)- During the closing hours of al most any political campaign it is wise for the conscientious voter to maintain, if possible, a cool head and a well-considered Judgment, as well as to keep his tongue and temper under control- In my recollection I fail to recall a single campaign, and especially a Pres idential one. that has Jiot witnessed the "roorback," which spelled out in plain English, is nothing but a sensa tional campaign falsehood, and voters generally, have discovered that the present campaign is no exception-. Vari ous methods that are being used ap pealing to the imagined dissatisfied Republican voters, hoping to poison the mind of the honest citlren and se cure his or her support for the Demo cratic candidate. The people of this Nation are ready to take a step forward and a large ma jority are satisfied (from their records) that Charles E. Hughes is the most capnfrle to deal with present political abuses, corporate and other complex issues. They believe that his election means the restoration of security and confidence in our industrial and moral progress. He certainly is entitled to his party's support and also the prefer ence of all independent voters.

M. W. WAITE. ROUND AND ROUND. BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE. (Secretary Lansing has Just explained pub licly that SH-r-tarv Raker old not mean what he said in his last speech.) When Baker gets busy and boosts for his boss. And half of the country sees red; Then Lansing's sent out and goes rush ing about To square what his colleague has said. When Daniels cuts loose with a column or two. They send In a hurry for Lane, And he goes on the jump tor the handi est stump And doea wiiat he can to explain. When Redfleld endeavors to get a few votes- Br'er Burleson gets Into action. And quick as a wink, seizes paper and Ink. And issues a sweeping rgi traction. When Gregory gums his superiors' game. And leaves himself out on a limb, Dave Houston must fly to the front to deny Said Gregory's speeches for him. And Baker, in turn, by and by will be called To tell all the voters In reach Of his voice not to heed anything they may read In Lansing's regrettable speech. It's touching to notice the beautiful bond That bonds them as brother to brother; They will get in bad, but they always are glad To go out and stall for each otherl Business Stan's Proper Diet.

(To the Edi tor.) A letter from W. J. Hastings, published in the Portland Journal of the 4th instant, states that he does not wish by any means to dispute a lady, but he is afraid Mrs. Hanley was car ried awr.y with enthusiasm, in her rt -erence to inadequate and insanitary accommodations provided for the men ef the Government railway service in Alaska, , Now I don't know Mrs. Hanley. nor do I know the source of her Informa tion, but I am willing to furnish Mr. Hastings with an opportunity to dis- pute one of his own sex. I have before me a letter from a friend of mine who Is in the engineer ing department of the Government on construction of the Alaska railroad, which letter is dated at Anchorage. Oc tober 11. last. In this letter he makes reference to housing conditions, not an a result of any inquiry of mine, nor for political reasons, for I do not even know his politics, but ho writes as follows: Can't say that I look forward with much pleasure to the next few months in cold weather, or in fact. In any kind of weather such as we are having now, for It rains and blows most of the time. Up to th. pres ent time our accommodations have be-n simply rotten. We have been sl.-eplnr in a dirty bnnkhou(e, without even a floor or window, with IS othr fallows and you can't Imajrlne the stt-nch when they hang up their clothes to dry. I think we will soun have a place to ourselves. No private corporation Mould hours Its horses like the Government houses Its men. What the conditions were when Mr. Hastings was in Alaska I do not know, but these were the conditions last month. F. R. JOHNSON.

COOS MAX OPPOSES TAX LIMIT Effect of Proposed Measure Declared Sure to Increase Levies. MARSrtFIELD. Or.. Nov. 4. (To the Editor.) The writer regrets exceed ingly your attitude on the proposed tax limitation amendment to the con stitution of Oregon. The net result. In the event the bill should become a part of the constitution. wilT be that all taxing bodies will increase the taxes 6 per cent each year, since it will be impossible for them to make a big cut any one year and get back to normal the following year. To Illustrate: Coos County, at this time, haa in the banks and is prepar ing to spend on the roads about $400. 000. Granting it were not possible for It to handle, successfull:- any further construction project. good business would dictate that the road taxes for next year Include only maintenance funds, which would cut them to half. I am strongly of the opinion that the County Court would not proceed In this manner, since the following year they could only increase the taxes per cent over this year's taxes. This law will have a tendency to increase the burdens In hard times and decrease them during good times. CHARLES HALL. Too Poor' for New Normal. ' PORTLANn. Nov. 5. (To the Edi tor.) May 1 be permitted to occupy Just a little space in your valuable paper? As a citlsen and taxpayer, and I know that there is a crent cry goinij up all over the state for lower taxes Then why should we be asked to bur den ourselves with still more taxes by adding tlJo.OOO and still more for the maintenance of a slate normal school at this time, when there is already an Institution of that kind available only 21 miles from Pendleton and valued at $75.Uti0? I would sny. swat the measure by voting 309 X No. RANDOLPH GRADES'. 710 East Mohawk street- Not Only Civil War Veterans. PHILOMATH. Or.. Nov. 4. (To the Editor.)
