SENATOR STAXF1ELD. Bryan having spoken, a nation walta for a word or two from Col. House. This sob stuff about Senator Chamberlain's defeat is not appro priate In Oregon.

We are not supposed . (Oregon Voter.) t As this is written, returns in dicate the election of Robert X. Stanfield to the United States sen- ate. I. 1 "i Stanfield has been a weak can didate. He ought to make a good senator. His very weakness as candidate will help make him an effective senator. bod - sianueid reaujr is a re markable man. Except auojects FUTURE DATES. with which he has had little prac tical eteryday contact, be has an extraordinarily powerful intellect. There la no danger of his becom ing a statesman, s) abtorbtd In vast questions of national and in ternational policy that he will for get his native ttate. lie will make few pee lies, $f for no'other reason that when he gets Into the senaie he will find that his Hpeethts fall flat. But before he has bern there many sessions, he will be on the inside f many pri vate conferences, where the fate of the great inafs of lepislation Is determined. And in those pri vate conferences, he will prove to be the equal of any of them when It ccmes to trading. And the trading Hob" will do will be done for Oregon. Oregon, for the, .first time since Mitchell, has a United States senator who is a first claps trader. And trading and log roll ing count In the big game of the United States senate even as theyt count In a little legislature. Stanfield has the, trading mind. And he knows Oregon and knows its needs. He is practical minded, and does not chase rainbows'. Al so, he is incorrupt'bly honest, and will not trade fundamental prin ciples. But he will compromise right down to the bone of funda mentals, and in the course of com promising, Oregon will get some bacon. Oregon has a '"he man on the job. Not that "Dob" will be obstrep erous or noisy. Far from that. It Is among big men that 'Bob" is entirely at home. He is easy among them, and they are attract ed to" him and grow to like him and to respect him immensely. He has a personality, a charmingly winning personality, except when he rises to address an audience. Then he is out of bis element. He can swim In the water but not in the air. It will not be long before he is rated by the big men of the senate, and most of the senators are men of some con siderable caliber. He will be rated very, very high, and will establish a vast influence! But it will show up in what Oregon gets rather than in eloquence spread over the pages of the Con gressional Record. "Bob" will go into the senate a man of independent means. He has lost several millions through the slump in the sheep and wool industry, but when he has cleaned up, he will have a million or two left. It probably will take soma time for. him to clean up. His paper is scattered all the way from Boston, New York and Chicago to the little banks of the far in terior of Montana, Wyoming, Ida ho. Oregon and Washington. He has had to take back flock after flock of sheep that he had out on shares and that was given up by the little owner who was. unable to finance himself when Stanfield could put up no more ready cash to keep him going. He is loaded with wool and sheep to the tune of mftlions, and nobody wants his wool, sheep or paper. His oper ations are estimated by financial authorities who ought to know as running into possibly five or even ten millions or more. No wonder he is hard up the .hardest-up man In the hard-up and near broke sheep industry, for the rea son; that he is the "biggest oper ator. But when all is said and done, he will be found to have traded himself into a net estate of substantial size. He is rid of the campaign, and will have little to do for six months or .possibly a year (if.no special session is called after March 4) except trade. And he knowa how to trade. All through the years be has been winning such amazing suc cess as a If beep man, only to be caught In the wcrst slump that eter hit the industry, he kfpt moxt of his books and most uf bis deals in bis head. He never could discipline himeelf into bu iners syntem. which is a defect in his make-up , but anyone who Lnew about what be was carrying .n his bead knew It took a heavy capacity to carry It. In his three terms iq the Oregon legislature, be likewise carried everything (hat went on in his head. He Jldn't have to refer to files of bills, or refresh, his memory by looking up procedure as to what had been done by committees or members or on the floor. He was shrewdly and quickly observant. knew what was going on, had the faculty of penetrating into hidden motives, knew what to say in a very few words to the right man at the right time apd place to get his way on what he was interest ed in, and became the natural leader of his house. During the two sessions he served as mem ber he hardly made a speech. Then when he became speaker, be made very few, but while he bad to post up from the chief clerk on parliamentary points, he didn't get any . wires mixed on what really was going on. He knew what bills were in the pockets of committee chairmen, and knew how to keep them there until he gave the word to call them forth And of course he knew how to trade. Now, all this Is not the picture of what ordinarily Is regarded as a frock-coated, hizh-brow states man. Bui it . is an attempt to give a line on the notable abili ties and remarkable character of an extraordinarily effective yung man he Is only 42 or 43 years old who has been given the highest honor within the power of the people of Oregon to bestow. The people have made no mis Lake. Stanfield will make good to an extraordinary degree, both for nation and state, and he will rot forget bis state whl be Is remembering bl country.

Czecho- Slovakia is not exactly paying dividends, but the new nation ha arranged its finance and budget to that there is now no deficit in its governmental op eration. It is paying the expense of administration. This is grati fying as showing the splendid pos sibilities of the country. Europe would be one great going concern if it would cut out the war stuff. The League of Nations will have to see to that.

America's Greatest Industrial Plant Why Ford Products Can Be Sold For Less It Is interesting to note bow many auto dealers throughout the country are endeavoring to ex plain why there will be no reduc tion in the price of autos before July 1st at the earliest and mak ing various assertions and claims In an effort to sustain their high prices. , The inconsistency of these claims' are evident where one gets the right slant on the auto and tractor industry. The statement ha? been made that the reason of some factories cutting their price was on account of slackening up cf sales, and the factories trying to unload their surplus stock, and further, that the cut of prices was not really a "cut." but a cheapen ing of the product. We would like to explain how and why the Ford Motor company "cut the .price" on Ford products and without cutting either the quality or the present wage scale. First the Ford Motor company had no surplus stock to unload, nor have their sales been falling off. the fact la. their output has steadily increased and today is larger than ever. The claims made by some dealers for reduc tion of price is on account of being overloaded with stock, or -reduction of their quality." but we-wish to point out the great difference between -Production "'. j ne w no nas reicned a high efticienry in production, and "low production,." governed by Wall Street finances, whose offi ces are filled with high salaried stockholders.

He owns and operates bis own coal and ore mines: owns timtr tracts and sawmills and 400 miles of rail road to transport this raw ma- dueed under one management, while for the other lesser half of the countries auto and tractor production hundreds of high priced managers and heads are necessary.
