Its members are quasi judges,' and they have not heard the testimony or the pleadings of the plaintiffs. Do : Judges ever give out "reliable infor mation" beforehand as to how they are going to decide a ease? If they did, would they not be sure of im peachment?

FIGHTING FOR THE PEOPLE 1 -nHE suit filed Monday ,by Deputy uty Attorney Tomlinson oppos ing the advance in telephone rates, is ? advisable. The city ; council ... is wholly 'Justified tn this policy of endeavoring to protect the fpublio - 0 Deputy Tomlinson contends that the increase in rates was, not legally smade,- that the proposed advance was not ; legally before, the commission'. and ; that if a change in rates was necessary, ' the- proper authority was the government, which was then' op erating the lines. t These contentions are amply suf ficient for challenging the order of the commission. , As pointed out by the Christian Science Monitor,- public service commissions, ' even : though honest, are peculiarly suscegtiiile to THE LIFE AND DEATH OF CITIES Transportation Effects the cost of everything bought .1 ' or sold by any individcal.". Such is the first maxim laid down by an eminent au thority, as explained in yesterday's Journal. The same authority laid down three other unalterable laws. Here4hey ire: ; 2 Transportation limits the territory tributary to the Trade of any city. Transportation determines Uie development of the resource" of any region. ' ' 4 Far more than any other one thing, transportation fixe the share obtained by any city or4 trade territory to the commerce ot the world. ., ..;, w Take proposition , No. 2: : "Transportation limits the territory tributary to the trade of any city." . : - It is a maxim that cannot re disputed. If there were no trans portation "between Portland and : Roseburgv there would be no trade between. Portland and Roseburg. ' If Portland had no. trans portation to outside points, Portland's trade would be only with herseliv The Sreasbn that Portland became the chief city of Oregon is that in the'rly days the rivers afforded transportation that other cities, in .the Oregon country did not have. She has since held supremacy because her transportation to the sea was the best and.ntiUoadS;. wcre:bttilt.tp i;PorMand - because of greater accessi bility to the ocean routes of commerce, t, ; ' ' " " The conclusion then is inevitable : "Transportation limits the territory tributary to the trade of any city." ' . ' 1' ,i ' And, freight rates are the essence of transportation They are the life or death of a city. They "limit the territory tributary to the trade of any city' They- do much to determine the value of property arid homesin any city.V They are influentialin providing employment,? wages' and prosperity in any city. They; directly affect the welfare, for better or for worse, of every individual in any cfty. , - Next. week. there will be a great rate hearing in Portland to pass on the petition of Inland Empire farmers for lower rates through the Columbia gateway. It is the supreme opportunity for Columbia river cities to do something for their own advancement and for the farmers and cities of thing to forward their interests. : Every individual, every newspaper, every public body in the region can do something to help win thi great rate fight, , 5 L Are they doing it? f influence by public utilities. The representatives of the utilities are the ablest and - smoothest of men, and they keep constantly In touch with the commissioners. The. contact tends to emphasize to commissions the viewpoint of the utility while there is no such con tact to impressUpon them the view-r point of the people. This, the Mon itor ' contends Is responsible for so many acts by; commissions favorable and friendly to the utilities. : : In fact, it is the business of the representatives of Utilities to keep in touch with and, If they can, to in fluence commissions. It is generally nobody's business to keep with equal diligence the side of the people be fore the commissions, ; which ; is a weak spot in the theory of regula tion by commission. 5 V - In the telephone ; case, , the city government has- taken up the cause of the people, and Deputy City At torney" Tomlinson will make a fight for reversal of the ; public service commission order. It is sound policy.

But the busi ness' was so good that she made several 24-hour sojourns, during which thousands of dollars worth of gowns were sold Portland women. Many of the buyers were the wives and daughters of Portland men whose ijcomes are made by selling merchandise, i insurance, . rents , and other marketable -things to Portland people, ' What a travesty on 1 community spirit 1 -if IT DOES NOT PAY "R' ED'.

PORTLAND'S RECORD GOOD,; wORTLAND fire losses were less LI by $37,750 during the first six months of 1919 than during the same relative period of 1918. This Is a better record than that shown by any half year period since 1915. Yet, in spite of the showing, f the property destroyed totalled 190,140 It Is a record in which the Port land fire department may take pride, and . for which the public may. be thankful. And: it is a result of the long period of education In fire pre vention carried On ksy jay Stevens, in . which he was supported by The Journal. : The department may take its meed of recognition because of the fact that while the. losses were . smaller than : during any time c since 1915, there were a larger; number of alarms answered, showing that the department was- on the job whenever the bell rang. But it Is, or should, be, only a beginning in the good f: work, A property loss of 190,000 in sixmqBths irom lire is still too high a price to pay. Care, and stilt more care. will... mean ' more and more saving, There are few fires .- that may not be prevented, and It is better to "pre vent them than- to fight them. '? And, also,: It, Is undoubtedly the fact that the total - loss is . not . measured by the niere appraisal of the destroyed property. Interruption of ; business and the confusion and 'economic loss resultant from It builds the figures far above the mere cataloguing of burned goods. We ' are maklnr nro- gress, but there is yet much progress to ne made. The revelations by a Buenos Aires newspaper of the ' plot to Involve America In a war with. Mexico dur tag- Uie European war Vre entirely Creaible. German Foreign Saer tary Zimmerman confessed that he sent the note proposing a German alliance with Mexico and Japan for war against the United States In which certain American states were to be - given Mexico and Japan as compensation or their part in the proposed conflict One object of the League of Nations is to put an end to such plots. 1 i : WATCH BOTn SIDES E UCH attention is directed -to the alleged cruelties practiced by American . army , officers ; upon American soldiers sentenced to serve in the various prison ' camps for this offense and that Soldiers who were unfortunate enough - to oome under this , treatment are now telling their stories to a special con gressional committee appointed ; to make inquiry into ; the : scope and extent of the' wrongs done, : One pleasing .circumstance 'about the affair comes- from the testimony that some, of the officers ' have been courtmartlaled and punished for hav ing beeif guilty of the offenses charged against, them, If the investigation should result In the . punishment of all. officers who . may. have man handled . and misused . men sentenced to serve in camps under their com mand it will have accomplished good - purpose. But there : are two sides to , all stories, .and,, when Jt comes to investigations into the con duct of prisons, either j in civil or military- life, it is wise to give care ful heed to both. ; tMen, usually, are not sentenced to prison in the army or out, for having obeyed the law or for regularity - of conduct. Once .in, the great ma Jority 1 are ripe " with excuses and full of wrongs - committed against them by those in authority. - Few prison officials would themselves stay -looj out cf prisoa if tie test! be weighed against' them. On the other hand, all too many men entrusted with brief authority over the persons and the liberties of aa. r .-. C - . -1 a .' a uicir- kuow men seem 10 revert w the cave ' age and the Ji instinct of the period. - It is an unfortunate trait disclosed many times by the experi ence 'of those in - charge of insane hospitals, prisons, reformatories and other public institutions of the kind. It requires -. continual vigilance on the part of - those charged with the general management of such, places to weed out - the brutal - and - prevent the abuse. It would not be surpris ing, sine j the . tendency , must con tinually be combated in -civil '. life. if the unfortunate practice of it did not . crop out in war time prison camps'. It is something to be re gretted, and punished, but it Is a child of war, which breeds on. bru tality, suffering and death. WHAT LACK OF WORKERS MEANS Curtailed' Immigration Forces Higher , -. JSffl&eney ana Its Price. -j- Dm ?tBe .nislwr I't.-."--' . The United states has always in the past received a good share of Its labor supply run grown. In the neriod 1894 1914 14.000,000 immigrants came to. our snores, or which more than half can be counted to have been men not only ready dui anxious immediately to find places in productive industry. ImmieraUon during that period supplied, at a con servative estimate, 400,000 new laborers eacn year, who took maces in railroad building and In other of the rougher xorms 01 laoor indispensable to Industry. American-born men a generation re moved from . Ellis Island are not - raw labor In the sense that are unskilled Im migrants. Skilled vocations, professions, "white collar Jobs." absorb them. The number of native-born men reaching ma turity yearly, la our 110,000.000 -population Is somewhere in . the neighborhood f 1,000.000. Certainly - less than half of them engage-in hard manual labor. But even this estimate - cannot be con sidered a yearly accretion to the ranks of labor, because almost as large as the mass of hew American-born labor avail able annually is the. total of that retir ing because of old age or advancement. Congress Is expected to enact new 1m migration laws. Higher standards of education, - mentality and morals will erect a bar : emigration may be entirely forbidden for a number of years. Euro pean countries may forbid the departure of their man power because of their own necessity 01 retaining at noma tne laoor they must have in reconstruction. In addition to this stoppage of immigra tion and to the loss of a largs number of laborers who left the United States to enter the armies of the allies and the central powers, and who. - Cossibly killed or disabled, , cannot be counted upon to return, more than 1,000,000 aliens intend to leave this country within the next year, according, to Ethelbert Stew art, director of Investigation and - in spection- of the department of labor. Mr. Stewart's estimate is 1,300,000 of , which a targe proportion, it is Deiievea, wiu De men. . , x In the past a parity a sustained re lationshiphas been maintained between the Increase in labor supply and the In crease in labor demand. A disturbance in this parity is already takings: place. Relatively speaking. Immigration to the United States stopped in 1914. For five years the stream of foreign born labor ers which in the 20 previous years had poured through our ports of entry has been cut off. The effect is felt already. ' - -. : :. if:;' As long, as the - war was In progress labor shortage could be easily and super ficially attributed to the withdrawal of 4.000,000 men into training camps and ot others. Into tha.press.of .war- munition manufacture.. The fact that women, old men and boys answered - the labor call does not alter the argument, for with the cessation of hostilities they are re turning to their normal methods of life. The war is over and wages have not dropped. ? The. trend Is toward 'further Increase. ' Tha price ot labor is not even standing level at the highest war-time standard. ' - The ratio .between labor supply and wage level I Inverse, although civiliza tion is placing limits upon the operation of the economic law by enactment of minimum wage statutes and recognition of the workers needs as a wage basis. A drop in the rate of increase of labor supply mean that the wage . level will be forced up unless there is-'-a corre sponding .drop In - tne rate of gam of labor demand.. :Z - ' . , - " The Tlmberman is cognisant that any discussion of wage level must be mind ful that wages are, in the final analysts, to be expressed in food costs rather than In dollars and cents, but a difference in the measure cf wages will make no dif ference in their actual .Increase. We have reached a new price level. " . , . ..- In the future men will have to be more highly . trained . and greater use will have to be- made of labor saving machinery, if the - United States Is to maintain Its quantity production. There will be-higher efficiency; whatever can be done mechanically and less: labori ously will be so done. The lumber bust-, ness is one which will have to recognize this new economic evolution. This de velopment 1 of higher efficiency . is one of the answers to the problem of cur tailed :' labor supply. It is one of the ways in which the United States will maintain Its place in world competition. But. more than this, this way , means more Intelligent laboivand dealing with a type ot man of a. general higher aver age, wiio will not only require but win merit a higher standard of .living. - - Moonshiner's Profit and Risk Increase Together From the Kew York Evening Post ' Whereas the risks attached to the moonshiner's - trade wilt no doubt- In crease, costs of production have not yet gone up for him, and he is now getting f 12 a gallon for a beverage 'that used to bring 92. The moonshiner's domain has been Southern Appalachfa and parts of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas, but a San Antonio writer . thinks that - this realm Is likely to broaden at first and then to diminish and disappear with the changes that are taking place' among the" mountaineers who - brought . with them from the Old World a fondness for whiskey, the ability to make It, and hatred of all excise laws. ..; -, - But the large 'biaekader." s.t present prices, is often well-to-do. X still having a capacity of 1000 gallons was recently discovered', near Columbus, Ga,' an un-r mistakable product of prohibition. The small moonshiner has difficult problems, and some of them are- growing in soluble. He has to buy copper in sheets to avoid suspicion, and make his own kettle at horns.. In some remote gulch, amid a heavy undergrowth, he has to build a furnace around his still and then he must look up some eort of a mill to grind his eprou; 1 com, which act ia mony : of their -charges were to la Itself 4 legal offense If done without a license. ' But there are la the wilder ness many small tub mills, turning out two bushels a day. and these are made to do. . They are exceedingly crude, owned by no one in 'particular, and kept In repair, by whoever uses them. : As they are subject to destruction by agents of the government they, are sometimes missing whea the whiskey-maker comes to seek them.; - The manufacture of whiskey without malt is a most tedious process,!

He sides , in with that San Francisco man,, and It is per fectly natural to do so. - i And again he says: "Many voted for prohibition who desire liquor, and then he asks why, and proceeds at -Once to give the why In these words : "Because they thought it" would be a good thing for the rising generation,'' That was a sound answer.

To the Editor of The Journal I cannot understand why those who believe In the - subjection of women and quote Genesis invariably talk as though men' have always, done all the work. Haven't the womere aone a big share of it all along? Andwhen men sisrb for the old days, when women had no f recognized ;Tights worth men. Honing, they imply that it was a happy world. It seems to me that I. have heard of trouble in those times, and some of It by the fireside.' . . 1 The third chapter of Genesis to the contrary- notwthstandlng, the women of the Bible" had acknowledged rights, mucn liberty and many honora Take, for instance, the ' story - of the intelligent. resourceful Abigail - I. Samuel, Z5) When danger threatened, a servant went to her, as to one having authority, and she acted promptly and saved the day. saying nothing to her husband until afterwards. AxA t look at Solomon's ideal woman (Proverbs, 31), that capa ble. Industrious lady, who was not only a: model wife and mother, but s good business woman. She made articles .of merchandise; and sold them and bought a field, and blanted a vineyard, when lever she felt like it, and always had nous-h on hand for the poor. - Solomon fsaldH . "Give her ot the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the -gates." It la clear that. Solomon wouldn't favor underpaying a woman ore uztferrating ! her work 'because of her sex. 'X 'recall no case of a husband com mandincr his wife, except that of Ahas- uerua (Esther I), and he being a Per sian, doesn't count. Moreover, his wife. Vashti. has always been upheld In her disobedience by eve-ybody, lndeding those most enthusiastio over the holding of women's i noses to the grindstone. The Holy! Spirit seems to have been poured outH Impartially, on sons and daughters, --' and . the handmaidens re ceived their portion.

I am sitting in the front room of Henry's Lodge, at Salmonberry.?; Last night the sound of the milk-white -water that dashes against the rocks In the bed of the stream lulled me to seep. " i4v rh nubdued roar ot the surf . As I alt at the table writing. I can smell the woodsy Odor of tne nearuy nr n cedars. I can hear tne mue iwuiroi as they are calling for their breakfast. There are 77 of them in the inclosure nearby. I can see the glint 01 tne sun light on the. river. ' - ease Across the river on a " little bench a few hundred yards away one can at times see a bit of brown " against the green. ' It is a doe with her fawn. Last night my - host, Henry Pies, . sur prised a big buck at the river's edge Just at twilight. As I raise my eyes to the walls in front of me I can see five sets of deer antlers nailed to the wall. A rifle, several gaffs, photographs of salmon and trout, flies and leaders and other such gear prove -. that this Is a hunter's - and fisherman's lodge. . ' ' Yesterday afternoon Henry f and X waded up the Salmonberry for a mile or so, 'whipping the stream tor brook trout and cuthroat. ' Henry said: - "You can say we caught SO trout." Yes. X could say it, but It wouldn't do true. Henry caught an even 60 trout I caught only three, one of which was a beauty. I - really caught It by accident. My fly drifted around a pig roc ana a 15-inch trout nailed- It. X got it: to the edge of the stream on the gravel. For a second I let the "line, get slack. With a flash and a splash the trout was gone. ' r : ;j rte::w -V''; Henry Pies can think tike a fish. X MB-t. w fished together lor a wnue. He let me go ahead . and have the' first chance at the . riffles and the ; pools. There would be a flash of sliver as mr fly hit the water, dui use a xiasn uie trout would beat It without taking the fly. - Then : Henry's fly would light on the water and dance there aa lightly as though It were alive. - There would be a flash as a hungry .trout nabbed the fly, and a second or bo later another trout would be flopping in Henry's creel. ' . The Nehalem and the Salmonberry are beautiful streams to fish in. There is a constant- succession of rapids, pools and riffles. There .are plenty of rocks scattered through the bed of the stream. The banks are free from brush and It Is a ! delight to wade upstream against the swift rush of the water- The hill sides are covered with evergreen trees mixed with alder and willow near the stream. . 8hadowa come and go on the surface of the water. Crawfish- scuttle away at your approach. Brown shadows dart Into the purple depths of the deep pools.

You look up and see that Henry Is playing a big one in a pool that you have tried without success. Presently Henrv is taking a small 6-lnch trout off his hook to return to the water.
