Germany' Leading Publicist. ; (Copyright. X922, by The Oregonlan.) .- BERLIN, June 3. (Special Cable.) Discrimination against foreigners is creating increased bitter feeling 'againBt Germany. The present situa tion Is llk that in which a celebrated Idoctor sent a woman patient to take 'the baths at tne celebrated mineral at Epa. He gave her a sealed letter :to a doctor there, telling her that It described her symptoms. The wo man, Inclined to hypochondria,' could not resist the opportunity to learn ;her true condition. She opened It to -read: v ; "Dear Colleague: I am sending you a golden goose which I have plucked. Do you likewise." C In many countries today a foreign passport Is regarded as much as a better describing the bearer as a golden bird which the natives should and must pluck. Formerly the treat ment of foreigners was a reliable cri terion of a nation's culture and pa triotism. Extortion of money from visitors was not required at every turn... Such abuses were reported in France even during and after the war but a regular system now has de veloped throughout Europe which may be summarized as "when we catch people from high exchange countries they must pay for our low -exchange." ... Policy Declared Unjust. . In law and morals a person must pay only for damage of what they are personally responsible and cer tainly it is not the fault of the American tourist if the dollar buys 70 times more marks than eight years la.go, nor is it the Swedish globe trot ter's fault if with four crowns in his pocket he becomes a millionaire on crossing the Russian frontier. The reichmark and the soviet ruble air .though a new issue of the latter on ay 1 is worth ten theusand of the old have inherited only the name land not the value of their decreased 'predecessors. Making 20 per cent of Europeans, whose exchange is high, pay for the sufferings of 80 per cent whose ex change is low, is not only unjust and often injurious to their own com merce but degrading to the nations that permit such unworthy practices. Every week brings me heaps of com plaints from plucked birds of pass age, mostly half amused, but many furious. Hotelkeepers raise prices to Ameri cans when the dollar rise but do not lower them when it falls. An Ameri can lands at Bremen and suffering from seasickness calls a doctor who prescribes an aspirin. tablet and charges 2000 marks for a ten-minute visit. An Englishman orders tickets for a ball and the messenger reports that only boxes are left at 600 marks. When the Englishman telephones to reserve one, the cashier hearing the accent, says, "Oh, an Englishman, then the price is 2400 marks a place." In some towns theater tickets are four or five times dearer to foreign ers than to Germans. The cheaper tickets for the Germans give admis sion only when payers are produced .proving nationality. " Thus the foreigner cannot avoid the tax by sending a German to buy the tickets. Refund Not Thought Of. Of course nobody thinks bfrefund ing the tax when the foreigner, pre vented from going, gives his tickets -to a German friend. Worse yet, this thing is approved by most people and "praised as a proper economic defense. -Women, unable to afford butter and "&ugar for their husbands and chil dren, become enraged when they 4earn foreigners can afford these lux uries as the price - is negligible to ;them when reckoned on their own money and ask why shouldn't they pay more? Because it is wrong. It 1s dishonest to sell the same goods r the same work at different prices according to the purchaser's nation--ality and also because the Btate treas ury does not profit from such fleec ing. Who knows, for instance, that the envied dollar man did not buy marks !When they were much dearer than now? I recently met one here who Is very poor but came to claim a small legacy. Because of his pass port he was obliged to pay foreign prices everywhere. The same thing happened to a .German woman who during the war married an English prisoner and now is suing for her mother's estate. Such things occur every day. Who can assert these ex tra prices always go down in the books of the tax collector? We can say that the tailor who charges a foreigner 2K,000 marks for a suit of clothing does not enter It at the Ger man price of 8O0O marks? The door is opened wide to fraud and helps the demoralization of all business which is often shady enough already. Diplomatic Action Needed. This can be effectively fought only through diplomatic channels. Nobody would object to a high passport vise fee nor a reasonable tax on foreign ers but everybody complains against paying four to six times more for the Same article because their name is Smith instead of Mullet. We must not slip back into the days when foreigner was regarded as an nemy and fair game for profiteer- ng. Only geese submit quietly to plucking. The belief that the distress of 300.- 100.000 people can be alleviated by barging a few thousand travelers enormous prices is just as childish as the communist muddlehead's demand that Amschel Rothschild of Frank Tort should divide his fortune with all. This wise banker, when the de mand was made, turned to his cashier and said: "Give this man S marks, that is his exact share." PHONE STATION TO OPEN ! ' Fourteen Booths to Be Installed in Morgan Building. The Pacific Telephone Telegraph company will open for service Mon day a thoroughly modern public pay station for local and long-distance telephone service on the Broadway side of the Morgan building at Broadway and Washington street. This new station has been designed ko fill a long-felt need in the cen tral business section, according to Dr. George F. Zook Impressed With Work Being Done in Pure Science Departments. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eu gene, June 3. (Special.) Taxpayers of Oregon who are spending their money to support higher education will be Interested in the recognition of the progress of the university along all lines since the war days, which has just been given by Dr. George F. Zook, a specialist 4n higher education of the United States bureau of education. The university was al ready rated as "standard" by the United States bureau and. Dr. Zook's commendation conies as additional evidence of the extent to which the university is exceeding the minimum requirements for standard rating and of its high educational policies. Dr. Zook was impressed with the fine quality of the new buildings be ing erected en the campus, but de plored the need of a new library, auditorium and gymnasium, as well as the necessity for buildings for use in the science department, the latter, in particular, because of the unusual work that the university is doing in its pure science departments and the necessity of proper equipment to keep pace with other schools In this branch of work.

Washington at Broadway BY GEORGE N. BARNES. British Parliament Leader. (Copyright, 1822, by The oregoman.) LONDON, June 3. (Special by wire less.) Ireland remains our main pre occupation at tne moment. I am sorry to say that this unfortunate country is making little headway toward set tled conditions. One must hope ana work for the best, but there Is no dis guising ugly developments and it is a melancholy fact that there Is yet no peace and it is also to be admitted that unpunished crimes still are an outstanding feature of Irish life. The fighting In Dublin and in Ulster con tinues unchecked. The agreement between Collins and De Valera was aimed at peace and in the first exuberance of feeling the claim was made that hostilities would end in a week. But we have not had even a temporary cessation of the state, of war. There has been no im provement in the south and there has been further embittered feeling be tween the north and the south London Pact Held Violated. ; The agreement provided for elec tions in Ulster as well as in the south of Ireland. That provision is at vari ance with the London agreement, And is in my opinion, a challenge to Ulster as well as a defiance to Great Bri tain. Moreover, it predicates a re sumption of a Sinn Fein assembly in stead pf an Irish parliament freely elected. Even if the vote were con fined to the south it would be con trary to the London treaty because the new government would consist nearly half of republicans, who openly have declared that they will not sub scribe to any oath of allegiance such as is provided for in that document. These things have formed the sub ject of long and anxious consultations between the 'British ministers and those from Dublin during the week. The results were communicated, as you know, to parliament by Mr, Churchill on Wednesday. He made an ominous reference to the analog ous, situation in the United States just before the civil war there, v Patience Is Asked..: The plea, he said, had been put for ward by Messrs Collins and Griffith that free elections in Ireland were impossible under existing circum stances; that the ballot boxes would be burned and the papers destroyed. This he characterized as a reflection on the Irish people, but he reminded alU concerned that final ratification of the treaty still Is to be given in Great Britain when a constitution is submitted by the provisional govern ment. He and Mr. Asquith pleaded for patience and forbearance for Ire land and for faith in the Irish people and there the matter rests for the moment. The gains' so far from the gener ous action of the king a year ago are that the treaty has been drawn up and duty signed by Irishmen and that the treaty has been recognized throughout the world as so fair and far-reaching that it has aligned pub lic opinion of the world on the side of Great Britain. The nation loyally and . promptly honored its bond in every particular and even went be yond it to meet the difficulties of the Irish signatories.. The next word is with the Irish people.

Wash.. June 3. (Spe cial.) Governor Hart known of no "class war" or Apolitical" prisoners confined in any of -the .state penal Institutions, he said today in a letter to C. H. Lehman of Olympia, who dur ing the governor's absence with the state highway committee early this week left at the governor's office pe titions containing between 25,000 and 30,000 names and demanding the re lease of "class war" prisoners. The wording of the petition was very brief, reading as follows: " "We, the' undersigned, -residents of the state of Washington, urgently de mand the immediate release of all class-war .prisoners.".. Then followed the sheets of signatures under which, printed on the inside of the backs of the petition where signers would not see it, was a long explanation of the demand, which referred to all per sons convicten under the state crim inal syndicalism act I. W. W. Is Signer. Heading the list of names on one of the petitions was that of Elmer smith, Centralia I. W. W. lawver. Those familiar with the names of per sons laentmea witn the (Jentralia tragedy and other I. W. W. move ments that have taken place in Wash ington in the past few years readily recognized large numbers of the names attached to the petitions. Governor Hart's letter to Mr. Leh man set forth in strong language his position in matters of this nature. His letter follows: - "This will acknowledge receipt of your petition containing some 30,000 signatures, urgently demanding the release of all class-war prisoners and 'release of state political and class-war prisoners.' ' I do not know of any class-war or 'political' prisoners confined in the state penal institutions. . Request Is Refused. "In my absence you stated to my secretary that you desired me to use my influence with the president of the United States for the release of 'political prisoners' who were resi dents of the state of Washington prior to their , commitment. I have no desire to attempt to in fluence the president to exercise ex ecutive clemency. The right to exercise clemency is the most sacred power vested in the governor of the state. I (believe it is my duty at "all times to give thorough' consideration to each individual ap plication for clemency that is-brought to my attention, when based upon the grounds that reformation has been made or new evidence has been found showing that the prisoner is not guilty of the crime for which he has been convicted and confined. Firm Stand Taken. "Extenuating circumstances might also sometimes be considered suffi cient grounds for clemency, but I should feel thtat I had violated my oath of office if I allowed myself to be persuaded, either by show of force or hope of political aggrandizement, to sanction the wholesale release of prisoners in this state. "Your petition is therefore denied and returned to you herewith as per your request." Judgment Fund Deposited. TACOMA, Wash., June " 3. (Spe cial.)
