re-alatton which the public instated
prevented it from granting lower

Is competition or is regulation the
better plan for the public? ' '

There will be no peace oh the Rhine until that time comes.! There will
be little peace in the rest fof the world, because over there t.Wiill ;be the con
etant threat of another conflagration, another shambles, fknd a Britain, an

Mr. Harding must have known
that the house would pass no bonus
with a sales tax. So the Congress,
rather than turn the bonus-down.
voted a bonus without provision for
payment. Now 'comes the senate,
and the isenate, too, seems to want
a bonus ;3aw enacted, but it is not
just certain what kind of bonus.
Perhaps It will accepjt the house bill.
Perhaps t will change it. And now
President! Harding, it is understood
is preparing to veto any bonus, that
doesn't carry a sales tax.-
If that is the case, thfs is the situ
ation in Washington: The president
says he wants a bonus, but a certain
kind of tonus. The- house wants a
bonus, but not the kind the presi-.
dent wants. The senate wants a
bonus, biut some other than other
kinds proposed.

TURN ON THE LIGHT '
PERHAPS it is not merely the peo
ple of Portland that must bear
the responsibility for Tack of hous
ing -for
Portland school children.
Maybe it $s partly the fault of the
schopl board, Possibly the board
does noi make a sufficiently clear
showing jin advance, of how it is go
ing to send the fund, when money
is asked
for.
In the
present case, for , Instance,
no budget -listing proposed
there is
disbursements. If. there were- a
carefullyj worked out plan in. ad-
,vance, it would ,tend to create a
larger public confidence. H may
even be that lack of information on
how the, money was to nave been
spent had ' somthin g- to do with the
failure, of pastr'prposals" for voting
money foir the schools. - ,
"Desirejjfor fulle information was
heightened by irregularities brought
to light in a' recent j investigation in
which school resources were used
for campaign' purposes. If, instead
of a semi-whitewashing, there tad
been a scathing rebuke by the board
of the maitters brought to light, there
would be greater faith when funds
are wanted for the schools.
' That money should be voted for
housing the school children is be
yond all doubt. The wastage of pub
lic funds on the ' portable buildings
is 'a near crime. The . school board
should ' put itself right for getting
funds voted by, taking the people
fully into Its confidence.

THE WATER HARVEST
SOME 2000 . fishermen launched
their nets into the f Columbia
river Monday. Thus hey inaugu-.
rated the spring season of the most
picturesque of home Industries. If
their nets come in "full to breaking
their industry will be as profitable
as picturesque. - '
The most fertile land in the Wil
lamette valley is said to be less pro
ductive than corresponding areas of
the Columbia devoted to netting the
prised chinook. Yet the fishy crop
is one that,- while it requires some
artificial -aid - in the planting, calls
for. no further care. : The ocean
attends to that. The harvest of
1"919 the peak year," was valued
at $7,49tf,eo.
The chinooks of the; Columbia
were, one of the discoveries of -"Lewis
and Clark. , They identified the fish
for the delicacy that - It "Is, . and
praised highly Its food -value, which,
indeed, is only, a little less than that
of beefsteak.
Then, in 1833,' Captain Lamont, of
a trading sloop, which was tied up
near the present site of St" Helena,
found he had " a number of, Jamaica

DEATH IN ELEVATORS
ASTRONQ movement is under

codes have beeif adopted in various
cities, the latest of which is a code
drawn by the American; Society of

The -Baltimore code -compels use

There are hundreds: of thousands
of. elevators in- the United, States;
They have been called the "biggest

people "up and down in 10, 15 and 20-

"A POLTTICAL ; EPISODE; - - i
Portland. April 28. To the Editor, of
The Journal I have? read your editorial
entitled A Political Episode, and think
it might" be elucidated from another an
gle. The people have had the habit, here
tofore of . voting the way the bosses
wished. They are learning 4y experi
ence. Illustrated by present political and
economic conditions such aa : still owing
public debtav- incurred ; 0 and 0 years
ago, and cn 'which- the amount of the
principal has been, paid two -and 'three
times in interest, and the prevailing ne
cessity of Increasing these debts by new
construction. - Few communities are free
from tMscondition. ; We have taxpayers
who pay and taxpayers who" don't, and
tbe people are learning who's who in
taxdom.- To me, tbe Hmdman-Mo-Cuaker
Incident seems 1 political horse
play, mayhap connived at by themselvea
This is so obviously -self-evident as - to
be ridlculoua ! But politicians still say
all is fair In love, and War, and business
men still say . business Is cold-blooded,
and still claim that, f So is murder,'. And
murder is a large industry today. K
