tTUET CLOSE THEIR EVES TO PACTS.
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

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?

fect as Mr. Bryan's free silver theory
would have had it reduces the value
of the dollar. A dollar now will only

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

Why One Man Is for Wilson,
PORTLAND, Nov. 5. (To the Ed

say that although he had been a Re
publican all his life, he was Kolnsr to
vote for Mr. Wilson. He declared em
phatically that if Mr. Wilson was re
elected It .would Improve his business
greatly.
I could not understand this because
we all know that Mr. Wilson's re-election
will not be conducive to good busi
ness, and on looking up the gentleman
who declared that Mr. Wilson's re-election
would make him prosperous I
found that he wns an auctioneer of
bankrupt stocks, which thoroughly ex
plains his attitude.

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.
President Woodrow Wilson has dem
onstrated his lack of complete fitness
for the high office he now temporarily
occuples. 1 ay temporarily," because
it cannot be possible that the people of
this Nation will perpetuate the mistake
made four years ago by putting him
there. Those who are engaged In dis
seminating literature or charging
Judge Hughes either directly or In
directly with being in league with cor
porations, or that he is in any way be
ing supported by corporations, is be
neath notice and cannot but help to
injure the chances of Wilson's candi
dacy they hope to further.

(Secretary Lansing has Just explained pub

When Baker gets busy and boosts for
his boss.
And half of the country sees red;
Then Lansing's sent out and goes rush

To square what his colleague has

When Daniels cuts loose with a column

They send In a hurry for Lane,
And he goes on the jump tor the handi

And doea wiiat he can to explain.
When Redfleld endeavors to get a few

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

That bonds them as brother to

They will get in bad, but they always

Eat the shells of your baked potatoes,

Election Boards Underpaid.
PORTLAND, Nov. C. (To the Ed

work elRht hours per day for 13 and
the election boards are expected to
work 12 hours for 2 and their meals.
Some of the people who work on
the boards lose money by working; as
clerks or Judges because they make
more at their own occupations. Now,
when everything is so high, why-not
pay them more, or put them on the
same basis as the city and county em
ployeseight hours per day and $3,
and employ three shifts? Shopmen
after 6 P. M. get time and one-half.

Bf.MilIOl?U UNFIT FOR STABLE
Engineer on Government Railroad Son
ports Mrs. Hauler's Charges.
PORTLAND, Nov. 5. (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.
Mr. Johnson. who is personally
known to The Oregoninn, has submit
ted the original of the letter from
which he quotes for The Oregonian's
Inspection. The quotation therefrom is
correctly given.
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

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
