the two lady members, each ask himself or herself this ques

grow gradually larger? a family that will be yours to support,
willy nilly, till your dying day and that will have tcr be sup
ported by your heirs and their heirs, throughout all time
'. : Would you be willing to spend, say $350,000 to" $420,000
every two years in their support, and to bequeath this burden
" to your children and your , children's children, without at
tempting to provide all the" members of yqur growing family
with some productive work to do, in order, that they might
become self-supporting and in some measure self respecting;
it beine considered that they are for the.most part able bbd-
r-4eq andr willing and anxious to work ?t i
Nol matter how rich you plight be, would you not think
:it foolish to burden yourself and your estate with their, ex
pensive support in idleness ? v

atives on the outside,; so. that his home might be kept to
gether, and in some cases would support the family, of the
i bread winner whose life, was taken by the prisoner serving
j his sentence for his" crime. I , j I :v

- But whatever sum it may take, up to $100,000, thi3
would surely be a good investment it wgUld surely be con

With an original investment of $150,000, the Minnesota
penitentiary at Stillwater was . made, sef supporting, with
porting iuuu prisoners anq giving mem aauy wages ana pay
ing every expense of every kind in and about the prison
And piling up a surplus besides of over $4,000,000 since
1905, which was the last year the Minnesota Legislature
tmade an appropriation of tax money for that prison.

, However, a Minnesota law allows the prison board arid
the superintendent of ithat prison to borrow at not more than
4 per cent moneyfrom the state treasury' for the revolving
fund, "to buy materials and pay wage3. Under that law, they
may now at any time borrow over $3,000,000 !

given such authority. They may not have to use it. -They
should nevertheless have the authority; in ordei to provide
the necessary raw materials and pay cash, and discount bills.

machinery, which may be provided without any additional
appropriation more than has been expended in running the
penitentiary heretofore V (.
And with the authority to temporarily borrow when or
if needed in the revolving fund to buy materials and pay, for
labor . s ' . . !
With this appropriation and thia authority, Governor
Pierce and Superintendent Smith 1 of the ? penitentiary can
make the penitentiary self supporting and they can likely
accomplish this in two years. They can surely do it in four
years; and they can surely make a big dent in it within two
years. !::.''''' '

They will not spend a cent till they know what they are
doing. ' r' ' ' ' :' ' ' i J"

That will be among the most constructive things of thi3
session of the Legislature.' Will it not be the most con
structive of all the things that can be done? v J j
President Harding, like Presi
dent Cleveland, has congress, on
his hands.
There is at every session talk
of patting the business of the leg.

it has never - been done. It can
be done. Will It ever be done?

Oregon never had a more able
or a more earnest body of men
(and women) in her legislature
than she has in the present ses
sion, taken ' as a' ' whole. And
there have been sessions In 1 the
past composed of some of the best
and ablest minds in the common
wealth. The members In some
past sessions followed leaders bet,
ter than the members of this ses
sion are doing; some of them fol
lowed party bosses better. Per
haps this Is a fault of the present
session that there is not enough
following of leadership; provid
ing that it be good and able and
honest leadership, "directed to the
best - interests and highest ' wel
fare of the state. There are a
lot of 'constructive things yet to
be doue at this session that ought
to be done; and 'the ' doing of
which would make this a notable

There "is not a member of the

willing to .work, if he or she had
such a force available for a pri

rect them that they could earn
their own keep, with something
over. That is what the state of
Oregon has at the penitentiary!
All they need is direction and
tools, and ' machinery. They can
sarn their own keep and small
wages besides, ' and a ' surplus
every year. If there Is, after two
years from now, ever again need

CALLING KEMAL'S BLVFP
Pouring oil on troubled diplo
matic waters is a r risky experi
ment; for somebody Is always
setting fire to It. ;
Just now tne oil of the Mosul
is spreading in a sticky flood all
over the proposed treaty at Lau
sanne. Lord ' Curzon Insists that
the petroleum-bearing v! territory
sha!l remain under a British man
date. Ismet Pasha has responded
that his government will ' never
Klgn a treaty . containing, such a
clause. : . r -" - , ; - 4 '. .'. . '
Perhaps Ismet v is ; not '.. to be
blamed; for he was notified two
months ago by the Angora gov
ernment that it he so far lost' his
head as to sign such an agree
ment at 'Lausanne he would lose
it a second time when he return
ed home. . " . "
Lord Curzon is in a somewhat
similar position,-' He has- been
instructed by the British govern
ment to retain the Mosul " terri
tory In Irak at all costs. From
presen4ndications a . bit of fight
ing will be necessary before! the
disput Is settled.

and . Jugo-Slavia are :' feverishly
mobilizing their forces to make
common cause' with the Greeks
against the Turks; for none of
the Balkan nations, not even the
Bulgarians, want to see the Turks
regain, control of Thrace. .
As far as 'the British are con
cerned, the situation has cleared
very percepitbly. There are
enough Balkan troops under arms
to repel any Turkish Invasion of
Thrace, to keep them : clear of
Macedonia. It is a characteristic
British policy in Near Eastern
matters to handle the diplomacy
and finances of a campaign and
permit those people who are more
immediately concerned to do the
fighting, V
In the background of the Near
East, however, dark and sinister
as a torna"do . on the horizon,
crouches soviet Russia. The Bol
sheviks covet, like the barbarians
of old, the flesh pots of the warm
countries of southern Europe.
They have stripped their own
country bare and they are ready
to make secret alliances with
either the Germans or the Turks,
of with both, provided an en
trance Is gained through which
the Red legions can pass into the
fertile lands that have .so far
escaped the plague of Commun
ism. . . , ' ' t
Both Germany and Turkey hes
itate, because It is through their
countries that the Reds would
march; first; and they fear, the
looting would begin before the
enemy country was reached.
Three-months ago some Red regi
ments moved to the aid of the
Turks in -Asia Minor; but the ex-j
cesses they committed horrified
even the . callous Moslems, , and
they were sent back to their own
country. One of v the Kemal min
isters was quoted, as saying that
the , Bolsheviks were, even more
dangerous as friends than as en
emies.5 T ' i;
In fct, the Turks themselves
broke with the Bolshevik dele
gation at Lausanne, on whose
presence they had insisted. . Of

Within 15 minutes ' after the

land bill yesterday afternoon,
that body killed a " bill requiring
that only citizens or aliens who
had filed their Intention papers
at least six" months previously
could be employed on public
works within the state.

100 per cent American program,

will work for- lesy than American
citizens on low. class unskilled
work. .-
