A GIGANTIC TASK
THE Hoover statement that the
allies must have one billion
bushels of wheat, a great deal
of which must be sent from
America, is of moment to men.
It Is a tremendous problem to
face. Many d not grasp its full
meaning.
Yet it 13 a situation of hard
facts which admits of no denial,
ramine prices are already here.
The crop prospect for this season
1b none too encouraging. The
wheat producing countries of the
world outside of North America
have shortened crops and crop pros
pects. The demands of the war upon
the food supply are not likely to
fall off. The waste of the sub
marine proceeds apace. It Is short
sighted not to comprehend the
momentousness of the work ahead
in America.
Genuine efforts have been made
to forestall a food scarcity by spad
ing up unused garden plats and
stimulating farmers to plant large
areas. No doubt a great deal has
thus been done to Increase our
food resources. The overplus of
garden products will be canned and
YOUR CHANCE TO ACCUMULATE
RE YOU a salaried man?
Have you stopped to think what the purchase of a
Liberty bond on the installment plan would mean to you?
Have you reflected that the investment is the best maker of
savings you can find?
If, for example, you contract for a bond on condition that you
pay a small sum per week or month from your sayings, at the
end of the given period you will have saved the amount and will
be owner of the bond.
More to the point, the bond will be drawing semi-annual in
terest. And it will be exempt from taxation. The bond itself will
help you make the payments in its purchase.
The security is the best in the world. All the people, all the
property, all the power and all the honor of the nation are pledged
for redemption of the bonds.
No bank is so secure. No investment is more sound. Few in
vestments are as safe.
It may be said that the cost of living is high. So it always is.
And usually there is not so much employment as now. Nor as
swiftly an increasing prosperity as now. Nor as many enterprises
calling for workers as now.
The common man never had set before him so excellent a plan
for making savings. He never before had so good an opportu
nity to begin a systematic accumulation of savings.
We can all spare something, be it ever so little. The offers by
employers to buy the bonds permit employes to pay in small
weekly or monthly installments gives workers a chance to deter
mine upon the amount to be saved. Then a trifling cut in ex
penditures here and a small reduction in the daily outlay there
will start the accumulation. At the end of-the year the bond will
be paid for and you will be its happy owner.
And in the meantime, you will be helping fight the war. For
he also is a fighter who helps a fighter fight.

THE IMPERATIVE OF THE LIBERTY LOAN
MRS. JOHNSON IS HOME
F
ROM a published interview we
learn that Mrs. E. A. John
son has returned from Africa.
Mrs. Johnson is a missionary
and her sojourn among Africa's
Bunny fountains has been for the
purpose of converting the heathen
natives. She has resided in a sort
of earthly paradise, if all her ac
counts are true.
Mrs. Johnson says the heathen
where she has been preaching, the
gospel can live well on five cents
a week. She adds that they do

the world's markets. The output
of the farms themselves will cer
tainly be increased by .the food
drive. The delivery of a 10,500
ton cargo of wheat in France under
a convoy of American warships is
a hopeful sign that every national
resource is organizing for averting

a proposed Income tax amendment
was defeated by 246 votes.
At the election of 1914 the
voters turned upon the classifica
tion amendment then again sub
mitted to them and defeated it by
70,342 negative majority.
The continual struggle and strife
that has for many years centered
about tax legislation at each suc
ceeding session of the legislature,
the multitude of tax amendments
and tax measures that has been
thrown upon the ballots through
the initiative have shown beyond
any question that the existing sys-J
tem has been inadequate and un
satisfactory. But the constitution has pro
vided that taxation should ba
"equal and uniform" and the peo
ple looked with suspicion upon
any attempt to alter or amend that
provision. They seemed to be
willing to suffer the Ills that
fflowed from limiting all taxation
to real and personal property with
out classification rather than to
hazard possible inequality or non
uniformity. The adoption of the classifica
tion amendment opens the door for
the enactment of 'a modern, equi
table and adequate tax code in
Oregon. It takes the lid off and
makes it possible to enact a law
or laws that will search out the
hidden, intangible and heretofore
invisible bases of assessment and
thus readjust the burden of sup
porting the government evenly,
justly and equitably upon the
shoulders of all. It makes possible
both the individual and the cor
porate income tax by means of
which other states have added vast
sums to their revenue drawn from
men and corporations realizing
and short hours, so that he be not
by- dull routine reduced to rebellion,
and the labor agitator becomes a
loyal and peaceful citizen. The busi
ness agitator has both money and
time, yet he does not cease agitating.

Unhappily there is the regret
table circumstance that we entered
upon' this troublous period at a
time when agriculture was discour
aged. When the war broke upon
the world, the small farmer, taking
America over, was losing money
In spite of his best efforts. He
was going out of business and
moving into town to work for
wages day by day. This threw

war, war prices have somewhat
changed the situation, but war

always continue, and permanent in

Mrs. Johnson is not so precise
as one could desire as to the
whereabouts of this Garden of
Eden. She says, to be sure, that
she has been there. But travelers
sometimes tell big stories. Being
a missionary, Mrs. Johnson un
questionably tries to stick to the
truth. But, coming back, as she
does, to a land where everybody
is getting ready to live on starva

to paint her adventures in roseate

ALIFORNIA has been doinsr

has recently added text books
for the high schools to the frge
Ust,
The state will not print the
high school books, as it has done
with the books for the grammar
grades. Each district will buy
them from eastern publishers.
The cost of school books has
always been over high. The con
tents of school books are not ex
tensive nor are they at all difficult
to throw into shape. The produc

body.
The text book situation in Ore
gon is far better than it was some
years ago. Parents do not pay so
much tribute to the book trust as
they did, but they still pay tribute
and there is no need of their
doing so.
California's new scheme of per
mitting each district to choose its
own books " will break up that
"uniformity" which some teachers
worship. We have never been con
vinced that text book uniformity
was much of a blessing to the,
schools. With a competent teacher
it might not be a bad plan for each
pupil to have a- different make of
text book. This would tend to
correct the superstition that every

He was obliged, according to Wells,
to find another deity and con
struct for himself a new religion.
"God the Invisible King" ex
pounds this new religion. It be
gins wfth the reminder that the
conventional creed of Christianity
was framed at the council of
Nlcaea amid political Intrigues and
in an atmosphere of plots and
counterplots. If we may trust Mr.
Wells, Its articles are either com
promises' upon disputed points or
else mere forms of words designed
to beguile. The doctrine of the
Trinity finds particular disfavor
with Mr. Wells. In place of the
old theology he puts one of his
own. .
He begins with the truism that
fthe universe contains a Veiled
Mystery," which we are not likely
ever to know anything about ex
cept that it exists. This being is
like the "God" of the Epicureans.
It cares nothing for men. It is
neither good nor evil. It is re
mote, detached and vague. Per
haps it is the same thing as the
"non-being" of Plato, or Kant's
"Ding an Slch," or Herbert Spen-
cer'B "Unknowable," or Bergson's
"Physical Necessity." It may bo
the same power to which the
Greeks gave the awful name of
Fate. Whatever it may be, it
does net concern us except as the
background of mystery on which
life moves.
At the same time, according to
Mr. Wells, there is another God
near and dear to every man, living
in every soul, merciful, kindly, "a
very present help in time of
trouble." All the Bweet and
precious qualities of the Christian
deity Mr. Wells bestows upon this
being. All the less amiable quali
ties of the Hebrew Jehovah and
the God of the medieval persecu
tions he turns over to the "Veiled
Mystery."
Mr. Wells is therefore a "dual
ist." He revives in a novel form
the ancient belief In the universal
struggle between good and evil,
though he mitigates its terrors by
assuming that the "God of light."
or goodness, is our friend and
champion. He is not all-powerful.
but he is powerful enough to see
us through all ordinary troubles
and stand our friend in all but the
very worst emergencies. He would
stop the war if he could, which
is more than can be said for the
kaiser's deity.
Mr. Wells Is esteemed by many
readers to be the most Interesting
and needed seriously.

must buy them unless the people s in

bureau on the subject of agricultural

"In the neighborhood of Jerusalem

and American zigzag harrows are also
employed. The use of the American

harvesters are In general use even
among the Arabs, while the Jews em

"In the Jaffa orange district the

Under the awning to the aft of the

that point when a history of th.i

lately attired in white, with his yacht
ing cap set well back upon his head,
turned to the little group of military
men that sat about him and said:
"Let me make a prediction, and I
want you all to remember what I
shall say. Within six years from now
every country in Europe will be a
republic."
The British army officers regarded
him for a moment In astonishment.
Then they arose as on man and left.
Sir Thomas chuckled at the recep
tion his prophecy had met. Then
turning to me he said in his rich Irish
brogue:
"I knew they would take It that
way. but what the divvll do I care. I
meant lvery word of it. I have told
Emperor William the same thing; I
often said It to King Edward and I'v
made the prediction to King George.
I told King Alfonso of Spain not very
long ago that the day of universal
republics was near at hand."
"Do you Include Russia with the
rest?" I asked.
"I do," he answered.
"How Is all this to be brought
about?"

the results I have stated; through
what process they will be attained, I
do not know."

Reborn through you: the chivalry of

From the days when Jascn sought the

Past the Great Seas curving hem;
At Saiamls. too, where Greece was
Greece;
When Rome wore the diadem
And sent her triremes questing with
the sun
The men of the sea have seen the Lew

And so when Lief raised the further
strand
Where now bide the Faxon spawn.
And the Cinque Ports clasped with
clutching hand
And held what thev could In pawn
Tet they followed the law they helped
to make.
And right was right. If only for right's
sake.

When Lion fought with the Lion's

As she did and did again.
The rule held good and they founJ
their meed
In the chivalry of the main.
And knightly Lawrence died as sailor
should
The fight was fair and time has
stampea it gooa.
And ever the sea was the shifting field
Where knights of the sea contend.
As fair to foe who would never yield
Till death called as to rneno.
And Honor ruled the Joust as always
when
Brave men have striven fiercely wits
bra.ve men
And thus it was and had always been.
Till the LuBltania's day.
Then Honor sank from the quester's

And Might held a heartless sway.

Shall fleshless hands wave greeting
