AFTER THE "BLOCS" rpiiB Interests of the effete East " ,"l-a are in the midst of consterna- 1 " m . 1 ' 1 I ' ; tion. They are wailing loudly be i j cause of the existence of "blocs" in - . 'ConsTss and the nart the' "blocs" ; .. . are playing in legislation. They say J thAt "the hoofmarks of the farm 1 bloc' decorate many sectors of the . admlnlstraUon prof lie? and that "the embattled farmer from the - Corn 1 ; Belt and Cow Country have mutilated , "Vh Harding program and made the 1 administration eat much dirt." ' ' The "bloeii" are disturbing to those ;0rho have pressed, the protlts out of ' j 1 the fanners with the efficiency of a ; wringer all these 'years. They are v j disturbing to Big Business. They i are disturbing to the standpatters. " Bot they are not particularly dls 2 turblng to those in this country who ." make their living by providing a llv. ing for the nation, i There has been much legislation ."at Washington that could be appro ,.' prlately described as "special Inter '. est" legislation. But the especial ln : : r terest Was always directed toward I ' the big monopolies and big powera . - To part of the country at least, the appearance of a, croup of men at Washington whose vision Is broad enough to Include the farmer and ; the wage earner Is encouraging. ' 1 It will be discovered some day that , the United States is not all in the in . .: dustrfal section in New England or the " financial section in and around New ,Tork. There are some producers in the Middle West, in the West and In the South. Those producers are pro viding; the food and the things out of which profits are made by those who are disconcerted over the pres nee of afarm bloc In congress. And : those producers have strangely come to believe that they are entitled to ' living themselves, along1 with the rest of the country. They all describe farm legislation J class legislation. But.it might be recalled that If the farmers disap- ; pear, a lot of consumers will dlsap , pear too, as well as the profits ' of. tome of those who are how en - gaged m denouncing the cohgres tonal blocs. ... We are not so particular out West ' as to how the beneficial legislation cornea about, who enacts lit, and whether It is dona by party or by . bloc It Is the needed legislation . that is desired... And it remained for the "blocs" to do about all that has been done' by the present congress ' ; for the producers of America. When a man gets to cutting his hair clos around the temples. It will oftea be discovered that the gray got to work before the scissors. AfTER EIGHT TEARS AFTER more than elaht years in . the service. Milton A. Miller re tired today as collector of internal revenue for the-district of Oregon. ' It has been ajwrvlce that reflected great credit on Mr. 'Miller and the organisation of employes through ' which the onerous, and highly re sponsible duties of the position were performed. As ; a result of it, the Oregon office is classed-at Washing ton as one of the most efficient la the country.-- - ;v '.'.; ;; " ..." - In the period, as a result of war activities and the heavy war taxes imposed, the number of employes has risen from seven to . 71 and the money collected from 11,000,00 to about $2.1,000,000 a year. To devel op such an organlxatiod and to gain tor that Organization and, Its head the distinction accorded it at Wash Ington hu been a record of pert orm anca very satisfactory o tile people of Oregon. ;; : . t ,:.;- . ' The vexing and complex character of the work, the treat number of people who, through Income,' excess profit and other tax exactions, were brought in contact with the office, and the universal courtesy, accom modation .and efficiency- extended the public, constitute a, faithful dis charge of the duties of a public post tion well worth emulation. 'NIPPON'S BUSINESS. MEN T'HE Japanese business men ar in a. America on an errand of good All Japan realizes, doubtless, that there I a considerable divergence of view between America and Japan toward 'Asia. "Japan, tooi is con stan Uy harassed by ; the utterance of jingoes in America. And there is a natural suspicion in' Japan as to the motives that led America to ref fuse to , enter . sL league of , govern ments to prevent war," Just- as there is a similar apprehension in other countries. :- " : . ' k The divergence of view as to Asia comes from the. policy of America to preserve the open door and maintain the integrity of China, while' Japan is quietly and effectively extending her sphere of Influence and carry' ing ' out a peaceful penetration; on the mainland, j ' Japan has the double excuse for her Asiatic policy that there is not room in her island empire for. her 60,000,000 people and that she is almost without raw. materials, and needs to acquire areas both to give her people room to live and in which to obtain the raw materials for the Industries through which her people may be kept employed. The divergence between the two Countries will be one of the compli cations at the disarmament confer ence. The Japanese delegates will clUur with some tenacity to Japan'? AaiCtio policy because the congestion of population in Japan and the pov erty of the masses there make their situation painful. If not distressing. The visit of the Japanese business men. is timed for the early days of the conference, and is undoubtedly designed to be an enterprise of sin cere good will and a hope that agree ments may be reached with which both nations may . be satisfied with all chance of a 'future clash averted. Wheat dealings have familiarized Northwest business men with the re lation of shillings to dollars. The Japanese business mission does well to establish the relativity of yen and dollars. The twenty-one members of the Japanese business party repre sent over 1,060.000,000 yen. That is the same as saying about $500,000, 000. s TO THE'POORHOUSE? WASTE adds to the high cost of living. Waste material sent by the ' average American ' .city to dump piles is worth $3 a ton. n Two million tons of box wood was manufactured in the United States from waste paper last year. Sixteen million trees would have been sacri ficed to make those ' boxes if the waste paper had not been assembled and employed for the purpose. rl'W are a nation pf wasters. We waste our Income in youth and early ihaturlty to become dependents in time of unemployment or when old age comes creeping on. Against our American wasteful ness is French thrift. France aston ished the world after 1870 by paying off her huge German war indemnity a surprisingly short period. It as the thrift of all the French peo ple with their savings that lifted the terrible war debt. The same thrift fodav is giving France, that was so overwhelmed with debt, a start over all. other nations in recovery from the prostration into which she - was plunged by the conflict. Asked the secret' of French thrift, a great French banker replied. "Com pound Interest.' He added, "Just as constant waste, even in little things, may change one's life from success to failure., so the steady saving of money and compound interest col lected on it will bring Independence if not actual wealth." . x Almost anybody can, without in convenience, pui aside. 10 cents a day. Ten cents a day for 10 years, at compound interest, brings a total of $445.36. . Today The Journal renew for three days Its thrift plan, whereby a credit of $ 1 Is given any subscriber who complies with the rules, with which to start a savings account at the Lumbermena Trust. In these three, days make a slart for independence. With carbuncles, a skinned thigh. strained leg muscle, a bad knee ana vuagq lanaia all visited upon him at once, is it to be 'wondered that.

Los Angeles reached out 2 00 miles .for water and capitalized, : to pay .

Meantime, the sand and the sun shine, mingled with water, have solved the food problem. A few days ago it was officially announced that,the food; supply from the gar dens in, and the farms near, Los An geles is so abundant that living Is cheap. ; ! -s - Out of nothing, with a waving of the arms . and a loud noise, has emerged a city which is substantial, which Is well built, which in a decade has added a. population equal to .the entire growth of : Portland, which has outstripped every other Pacific coast city in growth, which has felt the recent depression little, if at all. and which promises to continue transforming sunshine into gold coin and sand into food. CAN WE COMPLAIN? "DECACSB they had difficulty in foreign countries with passports, customs duties andother official reg ulations, many Americans have re turned home recently and com plained bitterly of their treatment abroad. Their thrusts for the most part were directed at the smaller European nationals. Americans can hardly throw stones at Europe on that score. When our authorities separate families at our gates receive part and. .deport the remainder -how can waf complain ? When we . permit . people to come clear across (the sea without warn ing them that they cannot enter our country, how can we censure Eu-J rope 7 wnen we suoject aliens to extended delay and rigorous red tape af quarantine stations, how can we criticise small Europeans? America has reached the point where she must regulate immigr ac tion. But the' barbarous way in which out immigration laws are en forced, puts America unqualifiedly in the proverbial glass house and the glass ia extremely thin. Benjamin j Franklin said, "Keep adding little to little, and soon there will be a great heap." Frank Van- derlip said, "The power a man puts into savings measures the power pf a man in everything he undertakes. Theodore Roosevelt said, "If you would be sure that you are begin ning right, begin to save." Take ad vantage of The Journal's offer to help you start a savings account at the Lumbermena Trust' in the cam paign begun today and extending only three days.. 7. JFOR THEIR DEFENSE r , " I, A LICE R O B E R TS O N. conarres- sional representative from Okla homa, etrdhgly urges women not only to interest themselves in local poli tics, but to' make an effort to Interest all men as well. - She insists that gov ernment can be clean only as long as the voters, themselves demand that it be clean.- ' , j. Miss Robertson's' advice is sound Few average people realize the tre mendous importance to them of measures passed by a city council, by a stat legislature, or by congress. They, do not realize often what are the far-reaching effects of a piece Of legislation. Although governments make and unmake peoples,; the peo pie themselves frequently fail to d la criminate between; the men and measures that are to regulate busi ness, regulate society; that' are to de cide what money is to be spent and where, and wher It is to -come from and how much. - But the I men who desire special favors -of governments are always present. ' They are always ' seeking political Influence. They are always proposing j men' and ' measures to serve them and their interests. They are never politically lethargic. , . . It is the bad governments that are awakening the average voter. He is rapidly learning the effect on him in his everyday life of measures enacted in Portland. In Salem and in Wash ington. - Throughout the country voters' organisations are- rising to study government and take an active part' in politics. ;3y-4;-v .- The people are rising in their own defense and, if they continue the policy, they will in time play their cards to -offset the work of the lob byista at capitals, the "fixers' in con ventions 'and the camouflagers at J elections. ; PORTLAND STOCK SHOWi SUPREME .

Stimaon, Prasideat PadSo Iattroa- 1 - uooal Lare&tock ExmstML I have just ' returned from : the East. Where I attended the National Dairy show, held at the Minnesota state fair grounds midway between St. Paul and Jllnneapolia. This show is the center of attraction for dairymen from all over the world. It is belS annually and. usually in a different location each year. It is very wonderful .show and from the machinery -that is exhibited one is as tounded at both the size and the number of mechanical devices necessary to put milk in proper condition" for human consumption. .. r The one thing that Impressed me was the fact that the Pacific International. being 'permanently located, was a much better asset to Portland than - the Na tional-Dairy show could ever be, in that wben the Pacific International is spoken of one knows immediately -that It is at Portland, but when the National Dairy show is named one has to be informed as to which annual show is referred to in order to know where It was held. Having no home 'necessarily makes it inconvenient for part of the show, at least.' - This year the cattle, a perfectly won derful exhibition of the finest that can be produced, were herded off In a base ment, where the air was bad and sick ness bound to occur. Here again the pacific International has the advantage In that it is built for 'a specific purpose and to accommodate that purpose in a most practical and healthful manner, so that we here shall never have the com plaints that were heard there from the breeders, of being compelled to show in an unhealthy place. The reason for this, of course, is that the machinery exhib its being- the large funds producer i in fact, making the show possible are ' at ways given the. best locations in Ithe show. ! a a a Here the Pacific International scores again, in that our concessions building Is on an equality with our livestock ex hibits, and yet it is unique from the fact that the visitor must pass through the concessions in order to Teach the live stock. In the case of the National Dairy show, one entered the one specific build ing to see the machinery and went dawn into the basement to see the cattle and to other buildings to see various ether things,-having to walk sometimes two blocks. With us this can never hap pen. So, taken all in all, I am very well satisfied that the Pacific International is not only the most perfect in its jap pointments but the most perfect land safe and comfortable in which to hold this kind of exposition. While in the East I came Jn close eon- tact with the breeders and with the exhibitors of machinery and found; to my, surprise, that they, all knew of the Pacific International and were anxious to know more, especially the machinery people. They made it very plain that they must be shown, and from the in formation they had received they were very well satisfied that we were going to show them conclusively that they could, not afford to stay out of this building. It was ray understanding while there that the National Dairy show had not. for some reason, attracted the people of St Paul and Minneapolis and therefore attendance had fallen considerably i be low that anticipated. Portland and the immediate vicinity .should take notice of the Pacific International and sup port it by attendance, for it will .come to De one or me great assets or mis region and the- quicker we all exhibit enthusiasm and. prove it by attendance. tne quicKer tms great snow win De a real asset a a The Pacific International Livestock exposition is an association organised: for the purposes of exhibiting livestock and livestock accessories and is "not in any way formed for profit; so whatever profits accrue are turned back into a better and larger show each year. Why, then, should not the city of Port land get in and build this thing to its utmost capacity? as the benefits all make for the upbuilding of this vicinity. Support of the Pacific International to a solid business Investment An Open Conference From the Bend Bulletin. As the time draws near for the Wash Inarton disarmament conference the 'de mand that tie meetings be public grews in strength and volume. This Is not be cause anyone is especially, curious; to know what may go on In the conference room, but because the people want to be assured that wars are to be brought to an end and they are satisfied that unless the old ways of secret diplomacy are ended there may still be chances of war. f Only a few years ago, the people re member, the world was engaged In a ter rible struggle to curb the German War beast It was the war ' to end war. Idealistic hope looked through the hor rors of the conflict to a future that would be peaceful Jutt because that was such an awfCQ calamity for the nations to pass through. With the armistice hope ran high. The peace conference was to bring permanent peace. And then the conference began, and behind, closed doors all the bargains and trades were made that left the world sick at heart and peace apparently as far away as ever. Possibly the result would have been the same had the people known from, day to day what was going on, but it is unlikely. Public sentiment would have forced a different ending. In the Case of . the coming Washington meeting; no one wants to -have any such chances of failure, takes. The people, want the doers open, the cards on the table and the trading. If there la to be any. donej? in the aayught. umy by such means, they know, will the causes, of war be brought out Into the light and. removed and the horror ended. . - If you who read this feel that only by publicity will the disarmament con ference reach its greatest possibilities, write at once to President Harding and Secretary Hughes and Join your voice to the voices of all those from ' every part of the country who are urging open meetings and the utmost in the way of limitation, of arm amenta. j , Curious Bits of Information Gleaned From Curious places "The White Plague," , aterm known in all languages and, all ,. countries to designate tuberculosis, was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes, and first used In 1861,; when the poet and humorist, who was; also a ' physician, issued i his medical novel. "Elsie Venner.?'. Holmes described ' the ' experiences etlcoujatered by a country doctor In the course of his trips with bis pony,' and spoke In one passage of "the dead winter; when the white plague of the north h&f caged- its wasted vicrtima, shuddering - as, they think of the frozen soil which must be quarried like the rock to receive them." Th comparatively recent origin of the term mphajuxa the fact that! the earn paign against . tuberculosis la of quite recent" origin, rays a stateraeit of the Michigan Anti-Tuberculosis association. In the days of Holmes tuberculosis was still equivalent to a death sentence. Lit- tl-was- known about .the diseaso, and when a person once was afflicted with it he was. given vp as lost. Now the knowledge of treating the disease has increased so much that large percent age "of cases recover and when discov ered early enough practically all re cover. . - ."".

Permanent Salmon Supply -- Astoria. - Oct "SI. To the -Editor of The , Journal In ' the Portland papers some weeks ago Andrew J. Naterlin of Dahlia, Wash., boasted, saying the purse seine type of gear is not destructive to the feeding grounds of immature sal mon, and also that It Is not destructive to Immature salmon,, salt water "crab and dams. The public must be' given true, honest facta concerning the work of the purse seine, and this I will da Born and reared in Astoria. I entered the life of the fisherman at the age of 11. GiUnettmg at the mouth of the Columbia has taught . me great things concerning the work of the purse seine. The purse seine operates chiefly upon the salmon's feeding grounds off the month of the Commr-ls. This so-called type of gear has been proved to be the most destruc tive that man has ever Invented, destroy ing thousands of Immature salmon, its feeding grounds of marine vegetation, and smaller forms of marine animals that the salmon feed upon, and also thousands of salt water crabs and clams. The result is that the waves and tide wash these dead, immature salmon, crabs and clams upon the ocean beaches to rot and go into everlasting waste. I have seen thia X know; In 1918, 1919 and 1920 scores Of beach vacationists were forced to leave the beach where these fish were washed, due to the fearful odor of decaying fish the work of the purse seiner. The crabs and clams that have attracted scares of vacationists to the coast each year are facing ex tinction, and also the salmon industry that has made Oregon famous .through out the world as. the home of the Royal Chinook, "the king of food fish." An industry, that means bread and butter to hundreds of men. women and children Is being killed by the purse seine. Oregon will lose a valuable industry if the purse seine is allowed to operate off its coast after this year. - . In . further investigations concerning the purse seine In other fishing centers, and its work.. I cite the cases of the fishing industry in Monterey bay, Cali fornia, and in Alaska, as proof that other, fishing centers have found the purse seine an undesirable, type of gear. In Alaska, where, the fisheries are under federal control, purse seining is pro hibited. In Monterey bay the purse seiners have been driven out after futile efforts extending over many years to prevent their operations by legislation. Public opinion of the community, in resentment of the de struction of the salmon industry, was brought to bear effectively. The purse seiners have invaded the Puget Sound territory, until today the salmon In dustry is rapidly facing extinction. After carrying on their destructive work in other places, they have invaded the Co lumbia river territory until we see our own industry fast going to ruin. The taxpayers of Oregon are taxed In maintaining the Oregon salmon hatcheries,- and the result is that the purse seine destroys the small salmon, with the taxpayers' money: going Into absolute waste. The salmon pack of the Colum bia river has suffered a steady decrease In cases packed annually, since the purse seine commenced operations- Unless im mediate steps are taken to save Oregon's salmon industry its people will suffer a serious loss. Following is a tabla showing by years the annual salmon pack on the Columbia river, in cases, before and since the purse seine started operations: 4 No. of Caaaa Tear. - V Before 1014 454.821 1015 658.584 S47.805 111 SSB.218 118 91.381 Ma of Case After ...... i K91.SS1 1919 , , 580.028 1020 481.554 1921 (erib&ated) S00.000 These tables are self.explano.tory, showing the rapid decrease. It is a known fact that next year's pack will be even smaller, and that it will grow smaller each succeeding year unless purse seiners are restrained from operating off the mouth of the Columbia river. Our present law, abolishing purse seines after January 1, 1922, If .proved constitutional, will bar purse Seines after the first of next year so far as Oregon is concerned. The people of Oregon, who are interested . in saving the salmon in dustry from extinction, hope that the law will be declared conotitutionaU and purse seining abolished. , Alex J.

To the Editor of The Journal I have been much Interest ed In reading of the Brumfleld case, and have followed It closely.

Prob ably, as T. Paer says, he had not -rehearsed it before pulling it off. Roy Gardner Is another go-getter, but he draws the line at murder, or has, so far. He and Brumfleld seem to be men above the average in mentality and ability to earn money, but are not- satisfied to get it is a slow way. It seems a case of "X want what I want when I want It" . Brumfleld seems to have been badly entangled in debt Ha carried heavy insurance. He looked on Dennis Rus sell as a useless person, not a success financially or socially. Russell was I growing old, and could serve his purpose Wn furnishing the corpse. Why. not? surely Russell would not object to such a reasonable arrangement when he (Brumfleld) needed the- money.'

OBSERVATIONS AND IMPRESSIONS OF THE JOURNAL MAN ' By Fred Lockley r A citation from a report on. the happy state of the doughboys on the Rhlna- ia Mr. Lockley' introduction. Matter therein him . a tip concerning thrift, and ha follows it. up with more Siutiona from other quarter to ahow how fins nd fruitful a thin thrift Buxad with Juat plain old industry, really is. President Harding and congress are worrying with the question of whether they should bring our doughboys who form our army of occupation back from the Rhine Don't waste any sympathy on our soldiers over there. They are having the "time of their -lives. Don't worry, either, for fear .they will become Germanised. William G. Shepherd, la a recent issue- of Leslie's, says: , - " "If anyone tears that the Americans on the Rhine are likely to be turned into Germans, - If they remain long enough in Coblenz, he has only, to take a look over Coblenx. If Coblena doesn't turn American it will be surprising. At air most' any stated time during the past II months one third of the doughboys la Coblenx had German wives, German chil dren and American households, ' with American papers,, American books, 'Amer ican news about big league ball , soores, American candy, "American chewing gum, and tetters and news from the folks in aome American homes across tha water. I I went Into the homes of Amer ican soldiers In Coblena, and they were water. I went Into the homes of Amer ican, the talk and the thought were American and the wife and children were happy. ' " 'At least 4000 German girls have emi grated to the United States,', said an officer at Coblenz, Vithout ever stepping a foot out of this town. - -- "The troops I found at'Coblens this time: were very different from the sol diers I had seen there two yearn before. Those men bf two years before had gone to Europe to fight; these men that I saw -now had come to Europe jto 'oc cupy.' , . . ! - T The other men were impatient to get home v these men want to remain.- They are the happiest, 'most contented men in the American army, or, perhaps, in any army "In the world. ' "And why shouldn't they be happy? In the first place, in a military way they know they are doing something. "The American soldier in Coblenz re ceives 35 American dollars a "month. This has brought him as nigh "as 2S00 marks a month, which is tha salary of A highly-paid bank president. If he goes to the army stores to bur food sup plies brought from "America, it ia true that his $35 will not go far. But fresh German candy., u better than stale American candy, and it costs 40 marks a pound Instead of 100. ' Bread, It he is a householder, wm-cest hinrf marks a loaf ; meat, of good 'quality, will cost him halt the. price of candy. Butter fresh German : butter. . not butter , im ported in tins will cost him 20 marks a pound.:' Thirty-five hundred marks a month, some officers have estimated, is the - equivalent of $3000 a year in the United States.'-"' .,.....:.

There are army dances some where every night Not a day goes by that a doughboy with, nothing else to do cannot hear a band concert There are steamboat rides on the river and picnics to the castle of Ehrenbreitstein.

"-.-". ; a - a , a - " "Fundamentally this country is as well Off today as it was during the height of Its most prosperous era. The present business depression is not due to lack of material resources or for any" other fundamental reason, and it can only be a matter of reasonable time until normal conditions are restored,' says a writer In Thrift Magazine. "But let every man who Is In business or who works take home to himself the great lesson of the present era. Practice thrift Develop efficiency. Eliminate waste. Sometime we shall get into another cycle of un employment The more successfully we hava husbanded our resources the better we shall be prepared for that contin gency. Let no man fall to grasp the deep significance , of the need of thrift in America today. The present scenes of distress and, suffering to be found In many of the cities of thia country should prove a most timely and effective warn ing.. The need of thrift Is the ereat lesson to be learned .from the page of passing ntatory." - ; Someone, once asked Thomas A Edi son how he had made so many wonder ful discoveries, and spoke of him as a genius who had more Inspiration i than the ordinary man. Mr. Edison shook his head and said : "The results I achieve are 99 per cent perspiration and 1 per cent inspiration." Edison Is a believer in the gospel of staying on the job tin you get-results. He Is no quitter and that is the reason for the failure of most of us. .A writer in Thrift Magazine sums up the matter as follows : "The fellow who.: knows ' how to grind gets there in the end. Some people are always-looking -for skyrocket. They be lieve human - affairs are guided by -the genius of luck. They believe in a Santa Claue for adults. ' They expect to wske up some mo ruing 7 and find themselves wealthy, famous and powerful. , But the chariots of fire never appear. The golden lands that lie at the end of the rainbow are never reached. Across their firma ment the meteors of-great success never flash. If there Is anything that a well balanced man over 30 ought to know it is that genius is generally nothing but hard work disguised in fancy clothes. It's the steady, grind day after day in the face of ups and downs that makes a fellow's dreams. come true.! Constant application, persistency and dogged de termination are the qualities 'that win at last. Shaking dice with fate is a fool a game. History records the victories of no man who was not a day laborer in life's harvest field. Good luck is the rarest flower that blows, snd It blossoms mostly m the gardens of imagination. If your rival Is a steady grinder, look out for him." ... - The j Oregon Country NorUswaat Bappaninst far Brief ram tot tha i OREGON ' ,,' f When lists were closed for the position t of postmaster at Salem last week there i were found; to be- 10 applicants. . , 1 -"EL C Wheeler of Pleasant Hill in La ne ' county Is on the warpath for the hunter who killed a $20 hog the other day by mistake for a. pheasant.
