HUMAN RIGHT

Attorney General Brown Says
Accident Insurance Goes

Federal Fooding Ruling
Is Given Explanation
Marion County Food Administrat
or F. W. Steusloff is in receipt of
the following statement frhm Fed
eral Food Administrator WT. B. Ayer
of Portland: 1 .
"I wonder If the peopMe of the
state understand-that the food ad
ministration bill passed by congress
did not give the president authority
to fix the price of any other grains
than wheat, and that in consequence
the food administration" has been
unable to control the price of substi
tutes. "It must have been a great vKtr
necessity that compelled the presi
dent to l?sue his recent 'fifty-fifty'
proclamation oalilne upon the peo
ple to conserve additional wheat.
Serious thoueht Fhonldj.be given to
this fact by those 'who are complain
ing about the unavoidable little dif
ficulties with which fhey must eon
tend under the new rule. Of course
there are some hardships and incon
veniences bound tip with the 'fifty
fifty' order, but we should all re
member that we are at war and
hat th?e food regulations are war
measures, and military necessities.
It i as much the duty of the people
of this nation to supply wheat flour
for the armies at Ihe frojit and for
the women and children of the coun
tries allied with us in this war as it
s for usVto supply men to fight in
tjie trenches.
"It seems to me that the patriot
ism of the poonle hre at home
should prompt them to welcome,
rather than to resent, the opportuni
ty of suffering a little Inconvenience
e.r ven hardship, for the sake of
endin the-supplies so sorely need
ed, to those who are hopefully wait
ipi for them In Belgium, France and
T""Pland."
Human right is placed r.bove civil
righMn an opinion prepared by At
torney General Brown in response to
an inquiry of Chairman Beckwith of
the Industrial accid'-nt commission
relative to the legality cf paying to
tbo'wife of Frank Sbildo. a convict,
the accident Insurance money that
is due SJiildo as a result of Injuries
received bv Shildo when he was in
the employ of the Northwest Steel
coruiany ef Portland.
Whn convicted, Shildo was re
ceiving n.n award from the commis
sion. Chairman Beckwith is advised
that notwithstanding Shildo is now
crnvict. the eonimlssion can take
his receipts for the award and pay
the money to his wife, who with one
child, is dependent upon him for
support.
"I r-nke this ruling.' said the at
torney general In commenting on the
case, "notwithstanding that by the
statute Shi'do'8 civil rights are sus
pended. My reason is that the pro
vision '.suspending the civil right ot
a convict Is a criminal statute and
should receive a liberal interpreta
tion when human rights are involv
ed. It is not the policy of the state
to deprive Shildo's dependent wife
and child of the award that lawfully
has been made to him."
these substitutes Is our own. H was
(arrived at after several weeks of
'careful experiments alorjr rcicntifio
lines. ji last we arrives in a roN
mula of certain definite proportions
of each particular" . -ubstiin' and a
process of uniting these substitutes
with the pure wheat Yloisr. This
formula and process not oulv gives
ihe bread a delicious flavor but pro
duces a substitute bread that, we
believe, is the equal if not the su
perior of any bread in the- market
today. The rapid growth ef our pat
ronaee since we commenced putting
this Victory bread on the market is
evidence that the. public is with us
in our belief in its superiority.
The public may rest assured that
all bakerv bread on the market to
day cn'lns the required amount of
substitutes for wheat. - All bakeries
are now operating unde'r a federal li
cense and no bakerv would have the
temerltv to turn out a loaf that did
not contain the percentage of substi
tutes required by the federal food
regulations. This Is Just as true of
ail other .bakeries j s of .our own.

Iness of our Victory bread has

and we feel it our dntv ttf set the

Every loaf of Victory' bread we

reason it toasts as well if not better

"l feel it no less than a crime for

F. Kingery of Portland In the plat

hvora home rule for cities and the
