Incident to Its campaign against the delinquent tax publication abuse. The Journal published an article February 7 stating that the Gazette-Times and Courier Ipf Corvallis, In publishing the Benton county delinquent tax lists, bad used the same type matter, had spread the matter over the maximum amount of space by "padding," had grossly overcharged the county,, had published the llct five times when the law re quires but four, and had acted in col lusion In fixing the rates. A protest from the Courier, follow ing tho publication of this article, led to a thorough Investigation ot the facts by The Journal. Kxtenuatlng circum stances were disclosed that make the Courier much less blameworthy than the Gazette-Times. i M J. Brown and A. E. Frost took ever'' the publication of the Courier In Corvallls only about two years ago. In their Initial publication of the tax list last year they followed the style of their predecessors, which was practi- oally Identical with that of the Ga aette-Tlmes. and resulted In the wat Ing of about one-fourth of the space. Conferred Over Telephone. Mr. Brown conferred with the pub Usher of the Gazette-Times by tele phone an to the bUJ for the delinquent tax publication, and both papers subs Qiiently submitted bills for $393-75 ' each. These trills were reduced by the .Benton county court to $363.47, upon advice by the state printer that the lists were padded. Tho Courier sub' milted to the reduction, without pro- last? but, though County Judge Malone f Benton county called upon the pub lisher of the Gazette-Times three times, asking him to reduce the rat to a less burdensome amount, he re ; fused to do so. The amount charged was the maximum allowed by law cents a line. The tax lists were published five times, but upon the basis of an opln Ion from District Attorney Clarke of Benton county that there was a doubt as to whether four publications met the terms of the state law. Exchanged Type Matter. The two papers did interchange typo matter In connection with the delln , quent lists, but this was for the first Issue and not for subsequent issues; when each 'paper set its own type. While it is thus seen that the Cou rier and- Gasette-Times did make pre arrangeraent as to bills for delinquent tax lint publication, did pad the mat- - - - . . . ... . . Ajaowv? ' when the law requires but four, did overcharge - the county, and did. In partrdUSe the same type, the conclu- 1 0 "lws -reached that the part of Messrs, Brown and Frost In it was Lhoughtless rather than deliberate. t They do not defend the, delinquent tax publication graft, but on the contrary express their" belief that th law nr- mittlng it should be repealed and will be repealed if submitted to the peo ple. Public officials and oltizens of Cor vallis expressed the belief that the publishers of the Courier stand for public welfare and constructive prog ress Oasette-Tlmea Defends Policy. On the other hand, the Gazette- Times is an avid defender of delin ouent tax publication, its Acta tiv been marked by deliberate lntenl. Its spirit tn the matter has been against thepubllo interest and no reason has appeared for modifying The Journal's orlnginal statements concerning it.

For the 'steenth time, the ground hog Is a gay deceiver. Through these columns a few days ago he announced that "spring has came." and for some days he kept faith. Chickens came out of their shells into what they believed would be spring weather, with nice bugs and grasshoppers to eat: the pigeons over at the Unitarian church made nests under the eaves; wild vio let bloomed by mossy logs and shady plants sent up long stalks for flowers; some people even cleaned house, whick is the one infallible sign that winter has passed into the dlsesrd; even the conservative people at Central library posted notices that it was time t6 be laying to supplies of garden seeds. Maybe Mr. O. Hog doesn't mean any thing by the sudden squall yesterday when rain, snow, hall. bllsxard and tornado rocked tbe earth at Inter vals, and between times the sun came out. It was no day to go Maying. . It you had an umbrella you couldn't get it open, or when you did finally, and had it down comfortably itr front ot you, some thoughtless person ran their stomach right into It and Jarred you off the sidewalk, and the automobiles honked rudely right in your ear. When you got to prancing along under full sail feeling that people envied you your new "rain stick," it collapsed and let the snow sift down your neck, and rude persons smiled; then when It was up and working, the sun came out, and you couldn't get It down, so other rude persons smiled. It was no day for thin stockings, low shoes and short skirts, but there were Just as many abroad as at any other time, but of course the girls were ss warm and comfortable as they ..could be, with animals' hides and tails and paws waving at. the backs of their necks, but someway they didn't look It.

"Congress cannot adjourn." Borah said, "so long as It is possible for u to be of any service in this deplor able situation. " "We want bread.' was the cry f the French revolutionists as they marched to Versailles," said Borah. "It is the most' ominous cry that can be heard In 'a republic, and whatever (s said as to the effect of the war on prices, the fact remains these are In large measure the victims of specu lators and combinations which are Diilchlng millions out of food. "There is at the bottom pf things no Justification for this condition. New Tork, Feb. 21. (U. P.) Mayor Mltchel this afternoon promised to do all in his power to cope with the ad vances In food prices, which have re sulted in food riots in the east'side. Women who called on him demand ing action today threatened to "starve on the city hall steps" unlesp he took some action in the food price situation. Mitch el said he would order the de partment of charities and the board of public health to make an Immediate investigation, results of which would be reported to the board of estimates at its meeting Friday. At. this meet ing the women were asked to present an outline of what they would like to see done to relieve food conditions. Mrs. Ida Harris, who led several hundred women in an assault on' the city hall yesterday, started -the speech- making when she cried: V .. . "We want Justice and mercy. We come to you because all the people elected you. We are " good American citizens. Our sons would be willing and eager to fight America's battles, but they can't do It if they first starve to death. We deserve and we demand better treatment." 'Marie Ganz, "Sweet Marie," told the mayor that many persons are starving to death every day in New York. Mayor Mitchel suggetsed to his ; visitors that they write personal let ters to their congressmen or. repre sentatives In the state legislature, making suggestions. Appeals Made to President. New York. Feb. 21 (I. N. 8.) Aroused by food riots and describing the food situation as "chaotic," house wives of America appealed to Presi dent Wilson today for relief. In an urgent telegram forwarded to the president today Mrs. Julian Heath, president of the national housewives league, called upon him to use his "great influence to alleviate the sit uation. Sporadic uprisings against food prices kept the police busy today in the 'East Side tenement districts. But few courageous push cart men 1 put in appearance at the Hester street I market this morning. Hardly had they set up their wares when a band of determined women swept on them and put the owners to flight under the fire of their own produce. Fiery tongued agitators urged the wives of the tenements to throw kero sene on the goods of all produce mer chants. Demands were made that the city should be forced to buy food at cost to sell the starving tenementera. Food Embargo Suggested. Boston, Mass., Feb. 21. (I. N. S.) An embargo on food shipments to for eign countries is suggested as a rem edy for high prices in a minority re port by Francis F. Tyrrell of the state high cost of living commission sub mitted to Governor McCall today.
