Dr. Parrish has Issued the following
safeguards for the public to observe in

Eat plain, nourishing food and sleep

Dr. Robert O. Hall points out that in

TEAL GOES TO WASHINGTON
TO EMPHASIZE PORT NEEDS
Portland received gratefully the as
surance that the Columbia river will not
be neglected during the coming year,
but there was no evidence that represen
tation of improvement need will be
slackened at Washington. Joseph N.
TeafT counsel for the Portland Trafflo
Sc. Transportation association, left on
SaturdajT, night for Washington, strong
ly credentlaled by the board of directors
of the Chamber of Commerce. He will
show that the return of shipping to the
ports of the Columbia, the elaborate
expenditures In terminal facilities and
all strategic arguments support the
proposition that dredging at the mouth
of the river should be continued vigor
ously, the jetties should be kept in re
pair and channel work from Portland
to the sea should be thoroughly carried
on.
"Our port interest demand now more
than ever before that improvement of
channel and harbor be carried on with
out dlmunltlon of effort," he observed.
"In addition to asking Teal to repre
sent the Chamber of Commerce and the
port interests of Oregon urgently at
Washington, we have telegraphed to
members of the Oregon delegation in
congress stating that failure to make
definite provision for the Columbia in
the rivers and harbors bill will be dan
gerous to our port progress," comment
ed W. D. B. Dodson, executive secre
tary of the Chamber of Commerce.

SAYS PROFITEERS
SANDBAG
PUBLIC
Wool, Leather, Sugar, Steel and
Lumber Said to. Be Articles
That Have Made. Millionaires.
Washington, Jan..; J4.(tJ. P.)
Profiteers are "sandbagging the
public," Senator Capper, Kansas, de
clared In a speech today.
Profiteering is becoming the last
straw, tn the strained economic situ
ation, he declared. He scored the
department Of Justice for not being
more aggressive in prosecuting prof
iteers. Capper advocated jailing
them.
Senator Capper scored lanre earnings
of big- concerns, declaring that the
wrath of the people Is being stirred by
this plundering.
"The net profits of the American
Woolen company after federal taxes had
been deducted were $2,778,800 In 1814.
and $12,324,084 in 1918.
IB THIS PROFITEERING!
"The earnings on its comomn stock
this year, according to the best Wall
street information, will exceed $100 a
share, or more than the stock's par
value. A year ago the watered stock of
the company, the chief textile company
In the United States, was quoted on the
stock exchange at 45. . Today it is close
to ISO and in recent weeks has been
Quoted at 1S6.
"For the wool that roes Into a suit of
clothes which sells for $100 the wool
grower receives $7.87. says the Wool
Growers' association.
WHY SHOES ABB HIGH
"It Is a common occurrence for snecu-
lators on the cotton exchange to boost
the value of the croo $50,000,000 in a
single day." Capper declared. "Central
Leather stock Quoted at 68 points a
share a year ago is around 105 now, and
one leather concern showed profits of
sz per cent on its stock," he said.
"Just now the greatest get-rlch-aulek
game In America 1b gouging in sugar,"
Capper continued. Stock of the Cuban-
American Sugar company has advanced
over 200 per cent in the last year. "Drob-
ably because of the 'sugar Bhortage,'"
ne cnargea
Crucible Steel. St a year aro. is now
209. he continued.
"While we were sending boys to
France, the United States Steel corpora
tion made $1,300,000,000." Capper de
clared. -We have 4,000,000 homeless
people In the United States aa a result
of melon cutting In lumbers There has
been and Is' shameless profiteering- tn
that industry, , yet weekly advances of
$2 to $S sv thousand" are not uncommon.
In - shameless and reckless greed, the
lumber barons now lead the procession.
"All the quotations I have referred to
conspire to prove that It Is profiteering
la manufactures, in the great industrial
corporations, that has sandbagged the
public rather than profiteering by mer
chants who deal directly with the con
sumer. DBU5I WITH, PBQFITS
.."These grig-antic corporations have be
come drunk with profits extorted from
a too-compliant public. The outstand
ing fact Is that there is nowhere the
slightest Indication of any change in the
strategy of the great trusts, combines
and Industrial corporations in fattening
their profits. A thief has only to steal
half as much property these days to
commit grand larceny, but It seems a
profiteer corporation may take all It
can get from the people and then make
them pay Its war taxes besides.
We deport the Reds, and I heartily
approve the government's efforts in that
direction; but our chief troublemakers,
the price gougers, we still let run wild."
NDEPENDENT MEAT
PLANTOEAL CLOSED
(Oon tinned Prom Pace One)
Journal that the new enterprise was
to be launched was hailed with enthu
siasm by livestock growers all over the
Northwest. Portland Is looked upon by
them as the natural livestock center
for Oregon, Washington, Idaho. Mon
tana and Utah, and from all these
states have come words of approval of
the new enterprise.
"We expect to have our new plant
ready for business by the time the next
International Livestock show is held."
said Dickson Saturday. "We intend to
build the most modern plant that money
can provide. We have located at Port
land because it is the livestock center
of the Northwest, and In answer to the
many appeals by livestock growers for
an independent packing establishment
Portland has greater banking power
than any city north of San Francisco.
It has three cattle loan companies
through which livestock growers are
able to finance their operations. Port
land Is well located for the shipment
Lof fn zen meats and by-products of the
packing business to foreign countries
and for sending our output by sea to
domestic markets along the Atlantic
seaboard. Our business is our own, and
It will be independent and competitive
to tt.e last degree."
