The war drives are already a heavy drain. There will be more and more of them and they will become more and more burdensome. On top of them comes an added 20 per cent tax on tens of thousands of families, tax inff the breadwinner on his way to and from, business or employment. taxing the housewife on her errands of shopping, visiting and war work, taxing the children on their way to and from school.

But two or four or six pennies extra in Increased fares every day for the bread winner, as many more for the housewife, and en increased number if there are two or three children in the home, mean an added toll of half dollars and dol lars and more dollars on every home.

The fatigue poisons generated by overwork could not be eliminated from the system ' in the brief rest periods allowed. The efficiency of the human machine fell off. It was found that if the maximum produc tion was desired it must be secured, not by driving labor to the point of exhaustion, but by wisely appor tioning the hours of rest, recreation and toil. England, for the sake of her self preservation, 4 or the sake of winning the war, restored the laws protecting women and children, ceased to over ride mature male workmen, and thusl attained a degree of productiveness far above anything she had before seen.

To the Editor of The Journal I see by the statement of land office officials that, the O. & C. grant lands will be open for settlement as soon as they are classified, and If that event ever does happen It will be a long time. I am of the opinion. The grant lands In Clackamas county were cruised by the county a few years ago and It seems a waste of time and money to again have them cruised by the gov ernment. I know of several tracts that poor men went on. put up houses and cleared up several acres and were get ting ready to raise crops and make homes and had worked hard and saved money enough to pay for their land when It was open for settlement. Now these men are unable to do any more work on those lands and what Improve ments they have made are going to ruin It seems there should be some law made that those settlers should at least be allowed to put in crops and help all they can to feed the people of this and our allies' countries during these strenu ous times. The settlers that I am per sonally acquainted with went on these lands In good faith and would now be paying taxes on their Improvements if they could have been, assured that they would have been secure in getting the land. But It seems it Is not the policy of those In authority to rush the work of classifying the land. One of the ablest land attorneys of Portland in formed me that he did not look for the classifying to be done before- five years, if then. Why wait until we die of old age before settling this matter? GEO. E. OGLESBT. Prosperous Farmers Cherrvvllle. Or.. Jan. 16. To the Edl tor of The Journal In a recent issue of The Journal you stated that the farmers are hardly making 1 per cent on their In vestment This Is probably true of some of them, but It Is encouraging to note that four of them, A. Anderson and his sons of Eagle Creek, are doing a whole lot better than that Mr. Anderson came from Sweden In 1880, and went to work on a big farm In Missouri. From there he went to Kansas City, where he was a teamster, and then cam to Oregon about 20 years ago and followed teaming and farming around Portland. Eleven years ago he bought 100 acres near Eagle Income Tax Exemption Portland, Jan. 17.

WHEN THE HOUSE VOTED SUFFRAGE By Carl Smith. Washington Staff Correspondent of The Joarnal Ragtag and Bobtail ' Stories From Everywhere Washington, Jan. tl. A succession of I when Decker of Mlunuri av. iiefiin ionunate events, ana that aione, won the day for the suffrage amendment In the honse. Any one of three things would have spelled defeat Instead ' of victory, had It not turned as it did on the last day. President Wilson's Indorsement of the amendment saved it not less than four or five votes. James R. Mann, the Republican leader, who came from a hospital at Baltimore, assured not only his own vote but that of two or three wavering brethren. Six members were absent and un paired on the final vote. Every one of them would have voted against the amendment and any one of the six would have defeated It a e a Itjs noteworthy that only two votes from west of the Mississippi river were cas M against the amendment disregard ing Texas and Louisiana, where south ern' sentiment entered Into the situation These two were Hull ef Iowa and Meeker of Missouri, both Republicans. Glllett of Massachusetts, acting floor leader of the Republicans since Mann went to the hospital at the first of the session. opposed the amendment So did Kltchin of. North Carolina, Democratic floor leader. Speaker Clark, who was not re corded, was ready to vote for the amend' ment had It been needed. The Progressive party has two mem bers of the nouse, ana it spilt squarely In twain. Although woman suffrage was supposed to be one of the never-dle principles of the Progressives, Martin of Louisiana voted against the amend ment at a a The all day debate on (he question was tame and disappointing. One of the best moments came when Miss Ran kin opened the debate. Another was of 'Alabama a drubbing and set the house laughing with an anecdote at the south erner's expense. Decker. following: Heflin, alluded to Heflin's flow of ora tory on Mother's day, when the Alabama member paid a high tribute to the women of the country. Decker said this reminded him of the story of a banquet In New York, where a company of men ate and drank until a late hour, when one of them arose and suggested that while they enjoyed such good things he had been thinking of the poor peo ple and the children who did not have shoes, and so be would propose that they give three cheers for the poor! a " Raker of California, who (a supposed to enjoy the limelight, made elaborate preparation to open the debate. Crowded galleries looked down as he advanced to the front of the house, and his .secretary, a young woman, arranged his papers upon a table so they might be handed him In proper sequence when he was under way. Then little "Joe" Walsh of Massa chusetts arose and asked If It would lnconvenleafe the gentleman from Cali fornia if he would permit Miss Rankin to open the debate? The house roared in appreciation of this coup. Raker was plainly distressed and looked about ap peallngly to some of his colleagues. "Do It" they told hlro, and he re tired to his seat while Miss Rankin came forward and gained an ovation from galleries eager for dramatic situa tions. She made a good speech, and the longest one of the day. m m m New Tork, which so recently Joined the suffrage states, furnished 83 votes for the amendment and three against If New York had not voted for suf frage last November, the amendment would have got nowhere In the house.

To the Editor of The Journal Why all this howl about the (-cent fare. The public has got what was coming to It when It became a partner to the crime to legislate the jitneys out of business. Did the peo ple consider the men who had families to support and their cars only partly paid for? Many had no other means of making a living at the time. They did not ask a commission to help make them profits. Most of them only got a fair existence In return for their labor. The public did not consider or care at the time, so long as nothing came out of their pockets. But now. when their partner turns the same meth ods on them, they raise a terrible cry of robber.

The automobile has made neighbor hood a bigger term. With a good car It is as easy to visit your friend 10 miles distant as It used to be to call on one within sight of your home. Not only has the automobile enlarged the neigh borhood ; It has In a sense made the whole country one neighborhood, and broken down sectional lines. It Is an Interesting study during; the touring season to note the states from which cars hail as they speed by on pleasure bent Remote parts of the union will be found represented In every popular touring section. Those who travel by automobile come Into more intimate touch with the country than those who travel by train. The car goes right by the door ; the life of the people unfolds in an ever-changing panorama. The mo torist who keeps his eyes open can get a knowledge of the country and the people excelled only by 'that of the pedestrian as he moves at his snail-like pace. Added knowledge always means the breakdown of sectional lines. Give credit, then, to the automobile as a unifying infuence In national life.

Water should be taken only be tween meals, as thirst arises. Mostly a man doesn't care, one way or the other, whether he Is fat or thin. as far as looks are concerned. "He should worry," when somebody will love him just the same. It Is only the health consideration that Is moving; him to act and take- cognizance of the fattening power of foods. But a woman becomes alarmed, for esthetic considerations. Her physical charms are her fortune. To grow fat when the magazines are showing only thin girls Is to 'grow bankrupt In her powers to Inspire romance and to throw a glamour about the male fish whom she wants to catch and keep In her net But either she should diet with a knowledge of what she Is doing or remain on the average ration.

The story of the rival bootmakers which appeared recently Is matched by another which concerns two rival enusagemakers.

The next day. over the way. aPDeared the sign : We sell sausages to the rentrr and nobility of the whole country" isot to be outdone, the rival out tin what he evidently regarded as a final statement namely : p "We sell sausages to the king." JSext day there appeared over tha door of the second aausajremaker the simple expression of loyalty: -uod save the king."

"This In tolerable thing of which the masters of Germany have shown us the ugly face, this menace of .combined Intrigue and force, which we now see so clearly as the German power, a thing without con science or honor or capacity for cove nanted peace, must be crushed." The duty of each of us Is to further the sacred cause of world democracy by word and deed wherein and wherever we can bring our power to bear. The high function of the, president of the United States is to meet the onslaughts of the "Intolerable thing" with words that are a trumpet call to battle. In these crucial times let us forget that we are either Republicans or Democrats, remembering only that we are loyal Americans. Hall the Eulachon - rroaa the Seattle Time. Our old friend, the Columbia river smelt Is journeying far from Its native waters and is gathering honors as H goes. Citizens of Western Washington and Western Oregon who know It well and. knowing It well, long nave es teemed It highly, are satisfied with the food. Thus, in Indianapolis, and doubt' ' less many other citle of the country ' rabbits are selling at :S cents each, and in Oregon they regal -d them a pests. like boll-weevil, or chfnch bugs, or grass hormers. and exoedlt ions are oraranlxexl to exterminate them.- In Oregon they I name by which It Is known over many Columbia river smelt Is winning new friends across the continent Out here.

"is the finest food fish In the world tender, fragrant and digestible, Peculiarities of the Submarine From St Nkbola It la not always safe to judge a .thing by Its name ; it Is apt to lead to sad mistakes. Now, one would naturally suppose from Its name that a submarine is a boat that Uvea under water, like fish. But it is not a fish : It Is an air breathinr animal that prefer, to stay on the surface! only occasionally divine; un der to hide from danger or to steal upon Its prey. Probably submarines do not average more than three hours per day completely submerged. ' A U-boat can not float under water without swim mlng; In other words, it must keep Its propellers going to prevent It from either sinking to the bottom of the sea or bobbing up to the surface. To be sure. It can make Itself heavier or lighter by letting water into or blowing water out of Its ballast tanks, but It Is Impossible to regulate the water ballast so delicate ly that the submarine- will float - sob- merged ; and. should the boat, sink 206 feet or so the weight of water above It would be sufficient to crush in its huIL And so it is a case of sink or swim. Seldom is enough ballast taken on to make a submarine heavier than the water it 'displaces, and. therefore, to stay under it must keep moving and tilt Its horizontal rudders to hold Itself down. While a submarine Is submerged Its ell engine cannot be kept going, because they need lots .of air, and they, would soon suffocate for lack of it Electricity Is the only power that can be used under water; and a the storage batteries can carry only a limited charge of current, the U-boat cannot stay under very long unless It rests on a sandy, bottom in comparatively shallow water.
