Reed Students Are 4
Anxious to Benefit
Delinquent Children
Reed-students who spent Saturday vis
iting state institutions at Salem returned
Imbued with ideas for improving the
condition ef Oregon youngsters who are
r vin- terms 4a the state training
school. Twenty . sociology students
toured th penitentiary, - the training
school for boys and the institutions for
the feeble minded and insane, this actual
Investigation being substituted for seven
hours of reading. '
Reed students were impressed with
the conditions under which the feeble
minded and insane are cared for, but
they felt the need of more adequate
equipment for the young men in the re
form school. Demonstrating on the
whole abundant; energy and alert in
tellects, the youngsters are capable of
returning to the straight and narrow
if any state dependents are. 'and yet
they are given no adectuate physical
drill and their schooling- is .haphazard
and Impractical, the students declared.
Many Ex-Soldiers
Inquiring for 0. & C,
Homestead Lands
Roseburg, April 20. The Roseburg
Chamber of Commerce has during the
past 10 days received riore than 60 In
quiries from ex-service men regarding
the homestead proposition and general
farming; conditions in connection with
the O. A C. grant lands, which were
recently opened for entry. Many of
these men state that through their home
papers they have been informed that
this land was to be given free to the
ex-service men, and that they were not
to pay the 12.60 per acre required by the
government homestead act.
Many of(these men have come to Ore
gon and returned home. Several have
picked out what they consider desirable
tracts of land and will return to make
their homes' here. All seem to have
gained a favorable opinion of the Ore
gem country and. while they may not
have been given the right information
regarding the settlement of the govern
ment land, the state will undoubtedly
gain many new residents as a result of
the opening of the lands, whether they
locate on the government lands or not.
Saturday will be flag pole day for the
Roseburg Elks lodge. The Elks will
take a 0-foot pole up Mount Nebo by
means of a tractor. A spot on top of
Mount Nebo is being prepared for a
park by the Elks. Appropriate cere
monies will take place when the pole Is
raised.

GIVE YANKEES TONGUE,
BUT CURB SPEECH OF
ALIENS, SAYS MARSHALL
New York, April U. (Lis. 6
Free speech for Americans, but a curb
on the tongues of foreign-born who
come to America to obtain refnge from
oppression, was sdvoeated by Vice
President Thomas R. Marshall in a
speech today to the directors of the
Associated Press.
"I stand - for the freedom of the
press declared the vice president. "I
do not favor limiting . th.t freedom by
legislation. But I do believe in "soak
ing' It to the fellow who Is not an
American citizen and who causes trou
ble by saying things against the United
States.
"T believe every man shall be per
mitted to say what he wants to about
the government, go long as he is an
American and stays within the law.
But when he violates the law, urges
others to violate the law and sets him
self up in defiance of the law ef this
government, that is another matter.
"As an American-born citizen of two
generations back. It Is my privilege to
advocate in this country form of So
cialist or monarchist government if I
desire. No law can or should take away
those rights. But if I come from across
the seas, accepted this nation's bounti
ful hospitality and benefits, then I
would not have that right."
THRIFT
(Oeatiasad from Pact o-
irksome condttiona Each side would
like to reduce taxes, but knows it can
not be done this year, and possibly not
next year.
Certainly, if the soldier bonus goes
through, the prospect is considered even
more remote for a relief from taxation.
After having struggled hard to reduce
the cost of government by $1,000,000,000,
men like Republican leader Mondell
don't fancy the idea of putting out an
other Sl.000,000,000 in credit obligations
to the ex-soldiers.
THBIFT MUST COME SOOK "
But while government economy Is ad
vocated in order that expenditures may
be still further reduced, the pressure
from the various parts of the country
affected by diminished appropriation is
so strong; that men In the government
hardly know where to begin lest they
be enveloped in a whirlpool of political
currents that will sweep them out of
office.
Perhaps the most common thought
that one finds throughout the govern
ment, and especially in the treasury de
partment, is one of criticism of Ameri
can people for their unlimited expendi
tures on luxuries. Extravagance is the
mainspring of the high cost of living.
Profiteering Is condemned, but con
servative minds do not attribute all
America's woes to profiteers. Prosecu
tion is always urged, but is considered
futile without the cooperation of the
purchasing individual, who must refrain
from baying from profiteers. Signs of
economy and thrift are beginning, how
ever, to appear.
SXTBAYAGANCE KAI9E8 PEICE8
Broadly speaking, it Is felt that the
peak in prices has been reached and
that the tendency of the average Ameri
can to refuse to pay the prices being
asked of him is the first and necessary
step in the mental process that makes
for economy
Anyone who buys a suit of clothes, a
pair of shoes or any other item of ap
parel, or builds a house or motors a sin
gle mile that isn't absolutely necessary,
does that touch to keep up the high cost
of living. That's one principle which Is
being emphasized. Every state, city or
town that issues bonds for a single Im
provement that isn't fc essential simply
adds that much more weight to the
credit .system of the country.
So long as America consumes in
money more than is produced, so long
as America -Is buying less from Europe
than she is selling and foreign exchange
is thereby deranged, so long as foreign
trade is confused by uncertainty over
the political situation in Europe, so long
an France depends upon payments of
German reparation or the rest of Eu
rope gambles on Russia's recovery, co
long as America is unable to trade with
Germany because of the absence of a
treaty of peace, there wtll remain fac
tors of destruction instead 'of construc
tion. USING THEIR OW!T LEGS
That's another fundamental principle
which one encounters in studying the
viewpoint of government officials.
Entirely apart from the blame that
attaches to the president or the senate
for the failures In the United States
to have a peace treaty with Germany,
there Is a distinct feeling that the world
would i have aone forward by a good
many stages in the ' economic cycle if
peace had been established a year ago.
incidentally officials still look at
France and wonder how long the French
politicians will wait before taking cour
ageously in hand the tax problem and
raising money by taxation Instead of
loans. Commendation for the British
fiscal system in taxing; to ths utmost
is heard again and again. For the uni
versal sentiment seems to be that na
tions must find economic salvation In
their own efforts and greater produc
tion rather than in continued borrowing
or in leaning on another country.
OJI1T OSE SOLUTION
Optimism yet by no means overcon
fidence creeps out as officials survey
the prospect of better crops throughout
the world. Europe is expected to reap
a more . successful harvest from this
year's planting. It enould help raise
the spirits as well as the credit of
European countries.
But for the United States.
There's one tip which may develop
into a national movement if public senti
ment gets behind it and sees its true
value. It's the tip to buy government
securities at the present low levels. The
idea seems to be that if enough people
In this country suddenly decided to get
along without luxuries, and invested
their savings in government securities,
the prices of those securities would
promptly raise and go higher, while the
costs of commodities held at fictitious
levels "by profiteers or by artificial de
mand would begin to drop.
As long as America is extravagant
prices will not go down. As soon as
America is thrifty and begins to do with
out things, prices will tumble. The gov
ernment bids the public think a little less
of government economy and more of
individual, thrift, aad the two together
may help the nation breast the treach
erous tides of reconstruction days.
