-'AGAINST ' ORCGON
If
y
HE rate hearicc in Portland
is the effort of Willamette
valley mills to get their lum-
Dakotas, Minnesota and other
states of the northern belt..
. They , have tried tor yeartf, to
-enter territory served' by the
Inorthern reads. They are the only
t mills west of the Cascades in Ore
ion or Washington that are shut
out by unfavorable rates ... from
nortnern
territory. It has "been
without success that the WHlam-
,ette valley lumbermen", have striven I
J for years without, appeal to the
' Interstate commerce ' commission !
to. have this discrimination re-
' moved.
: ins wuiamette valley as a
whole and the business interests
of Portland are directly concerned
fin the outcome of the hearing. The
journal ;nasKiten pointed. out that
the ;. railroads serving Washington,
even though ; Bttpposedly serving
Oregon as well, have done I very
mucTi more for the lumber, indus
try tt -Washington than In, Oregon :
andj'-thaf notwithsundlng '.that
I Oregon. . has much -tha J&rear vni-
8 time ot ctanding timber. Washing
ton "has ,for years'produced more
thal'twlc as much lumber as Ore
gon. For example, in X13, the
value ' of the lumber output in
Washington was over $89,000,000
against $30,200,000 in Oregon.
The 'number of wage earners em
ployed nd amount of wages paid
were practically three . times as
much in Washington as in Oregon.
r Unfavorable rates and lack of
ralhoad facilities in' branch lines
to mills and other conveniences'.
kept the Willamette valley out of
the 'northern markets. For many
years,, the Great Northern and
Northern , Pacific have pursued a
policy of confining as far as pos
sible the distribution of lumber in
territory , served by them, to the
mills on their own roads. On the
other hand, the mills on the north
ern roads have always had and to
day have, rates on the Harriman
system precisely the same as the
rates from the Willamette valley or
from Portland to points in south
eastern Idaho and east thereof. In
other words, while the northern
xnuia nave all the territory- at
their eommand, they also got Into
the Harriman territory on the
same rates as the Willamette val
ley millt. . . ,
vThe domination of the northern
roads -and the discrimination of
the I whole Northwest railroad
policy against Oregon is thus seen.
In this case, it is not so much
Portland as It is the Willamette
valley that is the subject of rank
! discrimination. For example, in
Jthe past six months, the Willam
ette valley produced but 7000 car
loads of lumber, or at . the rate of
il4.000.cars a year. It should pro
id nee. and would produce, if given
fair opportunity, 100,000 cars a
year.' ,,..
At the old prices, a thousand
feet of lumber is , valued at tl4
i of ; whjck fll.20. goes Intb wages,
taxes and supplies. Can Portland
and all Oregon not see what
lost to this locality by the domina
tion of the northern roads in, fix
ing i railroad policies and rate
structures

BY COURT MARTIAL
-- i , - v - ' ,
KORNILOFm is toJV tried by
Jury under court martial at
the front Such is the- lot
of this reat " military . com
mander, because he misjudged
Russia. . In the xfty hall at .Mos
cow during the convention Kqrni
lpff stood bit the ' platform
while a great '''audience of bank
ers, merchants and . manufacturers
rose and cheered him for five' min
utes. They acclaimed, him. They
acknowledged hiJn7.as the; heroic:ijde.'. The yety, concealment 1 -vip-
figure of Russia. They thought 'of
him as deliverance from the radi
calism and demooratio Ideals that
overthrew the thro-ae.
Kerensky is not of their group.'
He came from the . loins of the
commona'Ity. Ills thoughts are
advanced thoughts. His ideal are
not the ideals of that ollgarchal
group that everywhere captains
business, banking and Industry.
In 'Russia there are two races
the Russ and the Slav. For a
thousand .years the . Russ has been
tBe dominant, militant, organizing,
ruling caste. The Russ was a
branch of the Norman race which
erupted from Scandinavia ;abouijtles to that attempt go very far
800 and flowed over Europe i in the 'business, they will find out
Wherever they settled, they be-
came the ruling group. They were '
the bankers and merchants and
manufacturers who stood, 2700
strong, and cheered Kornlloft at
Moscow.
The Slavs have little genius for
nilftrshlr. Ther are full or Inco
herence, separatism and division.
Their unruly spirit has thrown
great difficulties in the way of
their national existence and has
been the chief obstacle to their
individual advancement. They are
the larger group, and through their 5
contact of a thousand years with j
the Russ, they have risen 'to the
level ' that made them mighty in
throwing off the yoke of czardom.
In the Moscow demonstration
to Korniloff, 300 delegates sat
silent and grim, refusing to Join
with the aristocrats In acclaiming
the military hero. They "were but
handful among the 2700 who
eered their aloofness.
But the 200 were the voice of
all Russia. They- represented the
armed citizens of the new democ
racy. They were true to the ideals
of Kerensky, tho "Commoner. "
To them,Korniloff represented
everything they , had overthrown

Korniloff r Ustened to .the .siren

PKOF1TEEKINQ
ACCORDING to Secretary ' Wil

business in the United SUtet
who have . not' risen to -the
patriotic opportunities otthe honf.
They look upon ' the war as - a

AS TIME SPEEDS ON
T WAS declared by a prominent
Portlander yesterday that there
Is a close relation between the
city government's inaction in
the . (-cent Care hearing and the
refusal' of some of . the candidates
to reveal the sources of their cam
paign." contributions In Che late
city election.
The accusation may not be true.
It should, however, be of convinc
ing effect vwlth those so accused as
to the rn wisdom of - their course
in ."" not : opening their campaign
ubooks'The law definitely requires
campaign expenditures to be made
public. Thp whole purpose in re
quiring' then to, be made ' public
Is to inform? the -people as to the
source from which -contributions
are .derived;.- There is a law of the
same kind governing' federal llec
ttonsi and it is' strictly obeyed. . -
The refusal of the PoHland can
didates to, make known the sources
from which they received contribu
tions naturally awakens, " the, sup
mfse1. that "they had something to
latfon of tth "known spirit of the
law tended to 'arouse suspicion.
That suspicion now . reveals itself
In the charge made yesterday that
there Is connection between the
6-cent hearing and the inaction of
the city government in that; case.
The law requiring candidates to
tell the public' whence they got
their, campaign . money is one of
the best statutes ever passed in
Oregon. After the legislature re
jected it, the people passed it by
popular vote. The wanton attempt
in Portland to nullify it should not
be allowed to succeed.
And before those who are par-
that they are making a colossal
blunder. The present accusations
are sign of the thing that will be
brought home to them as time
speeds on and things come, to pass.
In the New York primaries, the
Issue was the field against Tain
many.. The nomination of Mayor

publican primaries on a non

THE PRICE
WASHINGTON news dispatch
says that the government
had practically decided to
establish a ten-million dollar
shipbuilding plant at " San Fran
cisco, but that, as a result of the
Industrial , wars on the Pacific
Coast, the project has been aban
doned and' that the plant will be
located in the East.
The government nrust be able
to prosecute its work" in building
ships. Its power in the wai de-

to locate ' government T1ffhts or
place contracts for ships in local
ities where industrial wars are
liable to break out at any time.'
Lois of business for the Pacific
1 Coast must . result unless indis
x-n ,"aPaiesr speeaiiy jtenninate.
It is loss in the ' main vf or the
owners .-for they; cannot move to
other localities. Because workers
can-: more easUy, 'migrate, - their
loss $ is less . . consequential. The
other party to the loss is the pub
lic, k which.' mean everybody and
every activity - in the ' community.
Such Is the price that" must be
paid for Industrial disputes at this
tune. , A government at war cannot
afford delays and cannot afford to
take , chances on postponed, deliv
eries on ship contracts. There
will be far "heavier profits I for
owners,;, more wages for" workers
and more prosperity for the whole
public if differences can be speedily
adjusted and industrial' peace de
clared. -',JU r, ;-..,, '

HIRAM JOHNSON ON PROFITEERS
Br Carl Smith. Waahiagta Staff Oirrespenaeet eC The Jaereal
Washington. Sept. 21. In a state
ment issued Just after the passage of
to revenue bill, senator Hiram w
Johnson of California summarised the
L 'iL1 sVn'
resulted in improvement of th bill,
yet does not raise enough money from
taxation and is "entirely , too tender
of war profits." He said:
1 voted . for th revenue bill be
cause it was tn oniy revenue out
presented, and the money to b da-
rived from this bill is absolutely ea
spntt.l for the nrn.wiitlon of the war.

Our contest in th senate was not
without results. Th revenue
n.AflL .mm - .,..nl
raised a half bilBon, and the table
taxes, those upon tea, coffee, sugar
cocoa, and thellke. were stricken
'rom th bill. The bill, nevertheless.
m my opinion, aoes not raise awn
clefi revenue and 1 entirely too
tender of war profits. It represented.
however, money for the war, and the
money it raised, pecans or in war.
had to be grantei
"Th advocates of great war profits
and very limited taxes Xrom those
war profits, hav won a victory, but
it is. a Pyrrhio victory. They over
touched th same chord and sang- th
same refrain. They loudly declaimed
that they, believed tn high taxes Of
war profits, at the proper time, hut
the proper time was some uncertain
and indefinite future, presumably
after the war, when there would be
no more war profits. Ltuguonousiy
ther asserted that If a large percent
age of war profits was taken by the
government, inaustry wouia ne crip
pled and business throttled. A. few
concrete examples of war profits will
demonstrate the fallacy of the argu
ments of the timid war proilta tax
men.

Every dollar we now pay means $1
less we must pay in the future. Every

we are able to take it from these
enormous war profits. Is an added
dollar we and our children must here
after pay. When we now refuse to
take, as England with its JO per cent
tax now takes, a Just porportlon of
the enormous war profit, we say
to those who ko across the sea, 'not
only must you fight the battles of
th republic upon a foreign soil, but
if you return, you must pay a greater
proportion of the cast than you
ought to pay, because we did not have
th courage, or because we were iaca

could hav paid today from th steel

war profits and to the United States

resemea oy tne kianeys. in many
respects the structure of the kidneys
is analogous twthat of the skin. If
tn skin werHurned outside in and

that of th kidney. It is th duty of
in kioney to remove from the blood
certain poisonous substances that are
washed out of th tissues by the
lymph With which the body cells ar
bathed. The work is done by minute
structures, each consisting of a little

Each of these littl structures is
