P
ASSINO EVENT3 are proving
the great value of the federal
trade commission.
It is a body of five com
missioners surrounded by the most
highly trained experts that can be
procured. Men sklllfd in every
phase of business and industry

conducted by the body.
There is not a technical process
In economic activities that these
men do not perfectly understand.

the various stages through whlca
production must pass. They are.
for Instance, as skilled in comput
ing the production cost of coal or
steel as are the accountants em
ployed by the coal or steel produc
ing companies.
There is thus available to the
government the exact information
required in dealing with the press

charged for commoditUs, there are
before the government statistics
as dependable and as simple as
tthe- multiplication table, statistics
.which absolutely afford the ke
jand answer to the hitherto Irre
5 presslhle controversy between man
ufacturer and consumer.
Formerly In such, matters, the
-government was as ignorant of
these fundamental facts as a Hot
'.tentot and as helpless as an in
fant to act intelligently. Indus
trial groups made their representa
tions at Washington, always from
selfish viewpoint; congressmen,
one with one kind of constituency
and another with a different kind
of constituency to serve, brought
forward their irreconcilable con
tentions and through generations
the controversy was a mere babel
of tongues in which nobody knew
anything about anything.
Meanwhile, manufacturers mad
secret combinations. controlled
'markets, fixed prices and fooled
and plucked the public They pre
pared on American entrance into
the war to begin a drunken de
bauch in price extortions that
would bleed the people white.
The trade commission, planned
and procured by President Wilson
la his epochal program of legisla
tion, is blocking their game and
Is the chief instrument by which
the cost of things and the price
of things are brought more nearly
within the bounds of common jus
tice and common decency.
ROM matter received by
this department from va
rious sections of the coun
try, I find that there is an
organized propaganda to discredit
and handicap in every way the
government in (he prosecution of
this war with the clear and unmis
takable purpose of defeating the
objects for which the government
is spending millions of dollars and
probably will be called upon to
sacrifice thousands of lives."
This is the statement of Post
master General Durleson in an
swering an inquiry of a senato
committee as to why certain pub
lications are denied admission to
the malls.
Men should be drawn into sober
reflection when a hich government
official reverts to the fact that
in this grim enterprise we shall
"probably be called upon to sacri
fice thousands of lives." The
detractions only tend to increase
the sacrifice of life. Every exhi
bition of divided American sentl
ment encourages Berlin to hold
out longer and hazard more slaugh
ter. Every criticism of the Ameri
can government means more Amer
ican dead.
At this moment, nothing Ls ruoro
disturbing to the mind of Williarr
I than America 3 v.ar prepara
tions. Nothing makes the Prus
sian military power more appre
hensive than the fear that all
America may prove to be united
and resolute in its war program.
Nothing is more cheering to Wil
liam II and Prussian junkerdom
than is this propaganda (o "handi
cap the prosecution of the war,"
of whych congress is informed by
the postmaster general. The more
this propaganda is carried on, the
greater will be the toll on Ameri
can life.
The khaki clad boys are worthy
of consideration. It is a godsend
to them to have their great task
made as light as possible. It ls
the people's duty to ask of them
the least possible in supreme sac
rifice. Every citlren who frowns upon
and helps beat back treasonable
propaganda is a defender of the
lives of the lads in khaki.
An exchange, advising an in
quiring correspondent, says: "For
a Gila monster bite poultice the
wound with cotton soaked in a 15
per cent solution of chloride of
lime and aire nitro glycerine tab-
lara aa a stimulant " Impelled by
n humanitarian instinct, we add
the caution to avoid being kicked
by a mule during the course of
treatment.

THE MILK PROBLEM
R. COTTON'S solution of
Portland's milk problem
shows that ho has applied
his mind to it effectively.
He favom a commission with
power to fix prices to the consumer
and arrange for economical deliv

In the stores where milk sours for
lack of customers while other parts
of the city are insufficiently sup
plied, and in the generally detec
tive organization of the business.
Mr. Cotton speako convincingly
when he says that the dairyman'6
price to the distributor must be
based on the actual cost of pro
duction. This Includes the money
invested in the herd and plant,
the cost of feed and labor, and
transportation to the city market.
All tbeso items must be taken into
account.
Really cheap milk is something
not to be hoped for under present
conditions, but by systematic or
ganization and attention to the de
tails which Mr. Cotton mentions
the cost to the consumer might be
diminished while the quality could
be improved.

OW we are going to mobilize
the meat. The department
of agriculture and the depart

are to further a plan by which
thousands of cattle, sheep and
hogs will be transferred from tho
big western producing districts to
the small farms in the central and
southern states where the lack of
livestock results In the loss of un
counted quantities of feed. Under
the arrangement small farmers
throughout the country will be en
abled to place orders for livestock
with the county agents of the agri
cultural department, to be filled
through the cooperation of the
livestock exchanges of the country.
Oregon farmers, as well as those
of dictant states, could profit from
this plan. The time is coming, is
here In fact, when the meat of
the nation must come from a largo
tggregate of small holdings rather
than from the vast range herds of
the past. The days of the open
pasture on the public domain, of
flocks and herds that move like
foraging armies across an un

for nice calculation by experts. Half
of 1 per cent on billions through a
term of years is not negligible even by
the treasury of this country. An In
crease of less than half of 1 per cent
might be made by taking 3.65, a rate
which offers some conveniences of cal
culation. The treasury had no option
of making the first offering attrac
tive. It would not be obligatory to
pay the maximum authorized, and
there are reasons why dlscretlpn
should be allowed to avert the chance
of a failure. The Increase of taxation
ls an assurance of the success of the
loan. It is notice to all concerned that
if they will not lend money it will be
taken in taxes. There ls plenty of
money to take any billion which can
be spent, to advantage. The loanable
bank credits were over a billion a
year ago. Now" they are over two and
a half billions. The new offerings
will come after the harvest, when the
farmers are taking tn profits above
last year by some three billions. The
first Liberty loan waa offered when
the farmers were spending money for
the planting: season and felt busy and
poor. The cities took the first offer
ing. The country in richer than the
city and is a virgin field. There is no ;
reason to suppose that the farmers are
any lers patriotic than others, and it

There ls always some good
In every day
If we only seek to find It.
There la never a eloud
So dark but that
The sun still shines behind It
Though the day is drear
And our hearts are sad,
There's no need to be complaining,
Though the sky is dark
With many clouds,
We can be glad It Is not raining.

Peace With Justice
From Philadelphia Public Ledger
All the world desires" peace. These
three years of war have taken a ter
rible toll of mankind. Yet it Is plain
that peace without Justice would be
worse than war. The answer of the
allies to the pope's proposals will
rightly depend upon the measure of
Justice these would secure. Tho term
suggested aro not German terms,
though they may be in a eense more
favorable to Germany than to the al
lies. They contemplate the restoration
of the small nationalities, and so far
are in harmony with the object of
the allies. But something more than
this is essential to the future secur
ity of democracy. The president him
self has said that it cannot be at
tained while organised autocracy Is
"always lying in wait to accomplish
we know not what purpose." A return
to the status quo ante would not offer
any security worth having. It would
leave the issue precisely where it was
when the war began. If that ia the
German interpretation of restoration
the allies cannot accept it. There must
be some guarantee that the attempt to
dominate the world by brut force will
not be repeated. - And no . such guar
antee would br possible if Germany is
permitted to escape unscathed. Un
less tho crimes she has committed
are in some way expiated tbero can
