MAKING OREGQN GREATER BY KEEPING

"By, Chas; J. Lisle , !
Vhen the,.Great War was on, the patriotic sons of Ore
. son, 35,000 pf them, came in on the dead run to enlist and to
save the apparently fatty-degenerated soul of America. And
get in on the front rank of the patriotic supporters of libera
ty. The .world, though its written history drags out for a
longer future than Kin? Tut's recent entombment, will never
forget how splendidly they served mankind in their spontan-
- ecus enlistment!7 l l :::-..y ''i :';f - Hji -:iy

: They took a day off, Memorial Day, to march down
Elate- street in an imposing procession, and show their
spiritual comrades who are gone that they still remember
i' the day of their going to war. They'll never forget that they
went away to servedand that they return to serve again ;

processional, only a 'day or two ago, that, though it carried
. no flags, sounded no bugles, bore no arms, was almost as
' profound a realization of national war-time and personal pa-
triotism. It was really only one man, bearing' to the bank
a bundle of war-time liberty bonds, many thousands of dol
lars' worth in all, turned Dver to him as an investment in
Oregon industrial securities; tne purcnase price oi a great
block of stock in the Portland Railway, Light ' and Power
company, conbuted by; more than 100 new buyers. But

Dad's money; too, is coming home 'to work for .Oregort
3 the first and mdst vital unit of the United States.: His
4-per-cent money went out gladly at the nation's call, along
' with the boys at $30 a month. Now the boys and the dollars
are all coma buck home, to earn a lot more in constructive
instead of destructive work. The same is true in a number

and paper mills and other like things, though this one little

than it now has; ,The company might sell these securities
, abroad ; indeed, the greatest banking firm in the world en
dorsed $1,000,000 worth, and wanted much more But .when
they are sold, they tnust pay the interest price; and if they
are in foreign hands, they may always be exploited as slaves
have always been exploited. f For the reason that it believes
.these utilities are necessary in Oregon, and that they will be
permanently profitable, and that they ought: to. be home

to encourage customer ownership. J 4fe t
f This will riot change the attractive rate of interest; un
less it , is tOTaise 1t,because of home - supervision and in
telligent local cooperation. ; It should indeed increase effi
ciency and returns, on adescending scale of prices. Why
should one overcharge himself, to pay back to himself in the
form of investment returns ? Rather, it would be to the
interest of every owner to help build up markets, and pro
zcta economy or operation; so that better returns. and low
er cczt would inevitably follow. But outside owners might
cut down' the. service ant) raise the rates, 'on the age-old
theory of taxing the business all it will bean ; v "
There is the same argument for customer ownership pf
utilities as for the ownership of homes, of the clothes one
wears, of the food one eats. ' It is the universal argument of
liberty ; not the grudging, calculated permission of the alien
owner, but the intelligent home! control of the utilities by
which industry thrives J The sale of federal securities in
these times of peace, to the eastern investors who have no
vision, to the old men and the old women of decadent spirit
and atrophied enterprise, and the reinvestment of the money
in living Oregon securities that help to build up the state, is
as patriotic and as liberty-making a move as the marching
of the boys and the dollars to the great war. -
Dad's boys are already home, and his dollars are coming
as fast as. the trains can bring! them; all getting. into the
game of making Oregon greater (in times of peace. v . ,-.

Two days before the adjourn
ment of congress the special sen
ate committee, appointed to in
vestigate charges of Illegal hang
ings brought against American of
ficers in Prance by the late Sen
ator Watson of Georgia, filed its
report. After extended, hearings
it was : unanimously - determined
that the charges had not been sub
stantiated. It Is charitable to be
Ueve that Mr. Watson had been
deceived by designing persons in
to making his sensational attack
apon those , in command of the
American expeditionary force. Pew

example of American impertinence

" Prom the point of view of prac

they would have shed no light on

There .was no ; reason, either his
torical or archeological, for the
enterprise, which was : actuated
chiefly by sentiment. - But, as for
evincing a lack of the finer feel
ings that are supposed to charac
terize civilized people in their ac
tions toward the dead, as the Brit

actions of the American scientist's
to warrant this assertion. Digging

SPECIALTIES
: Glancing through the 1 exports
from' the United States for the ten
months ended April 30, last, one
finds a number of specialties
which are ignored in considering
the largest items of ! our" export
trade, hut which add their mite
to the huge total of $3,265,000,-
000 for the period.' . '
For example we exported nearly
2,000,000 pounds of chewing gum.

our share In giving the world a
substitute for the rag.

kindly to the .American . flavor,
IJndglng from; the fact that we ex
j ported nearly 1,500,000 gallons of
fruit Juices and navoring extracts.
Someone has said that ' "the
world Is in a ferment," and the
Democrats will doubtless ascribe
It to the fact that we exported al
most .2,400,000 pounds of yeast.
Yet we have It on the authority
of the Bible that "a little leaven
leaveneth the whole lump." '
If the Bolsheviks come to ns
again to feed Russia, having in
view the seizure of our corn for
Lenin's armies, we might put the
soviet hors du combat with dried
apples. We exported 12,000,000
pounds; and one might think the
world was "full of prunes" be
cause we shipped 75,000.00
pounds of that one time lowly,
and now regal delicacy. . ;.,

bate among philosophers as - to
which came first, the hen or the j
egg, The Democratls tariff law
solved that problem by putting
egg. .The Democratic tariff law
ed coming in by the millions from
China, and it was thus we learned
that the egg came first -the hen
must have been some centuries
behind; Now the world is coming
to us for fresh eggs and we ex
ported over 30,000,000 dozen.
To quiet the jaded nerves of a
ghost-ridden world we sent out
380,000,000 pounds of tobacco and
pipes in which to smoke it and
over nine billion cigarettes.
' The world ought to be able to
keep a' stiff upper lip with the
224,000,000 pounds of starch we
exported, and . our shipments : of
nearly 5,000,000 garters and sus
penders should hold things : in

Diplomacy does not eeem to be
the only game : which goes on ar-
! ound the green table abroad, for
we exported 7.800,000 packs . of

can game must be coming Into its
own. ; And while we may be pretty
well fed up with European printed
propaganda, we return good for
evil with 39,000,000 books, maps,
pictures and other printed matter.
"We ? have some salt of on

the world to go to work has been
savored with that condiment, for
we exported 216,000.000 pounds.

The 'hoppers" were doing.
Converted the grasshopper swarm.
Priscllla Grasshopper felt that
she had a mission in life. When
she thought it all over she had
to admit that It was up to her.
She would have - to convert the
whole grasshopper tribe.' She
was the only Inhabitant ; of, all
Hoppertown that did not chew to
bacco; " Priscllla shuddered at the
thought. Poor, Ignorant , crea
tures! They had all been brought
up wrong. ' They did so heed a
serious minded missionary among
them to teach them the error 'of
their ways. 'K',; i
Priscllla had
book
borrowed a
' ' j
from the family of June bugs next
door and had been reading up on
the harmful effectc of nicotine.
She had discovered that t,here was
only one, thing worse than chew
ing tobacco and that was smok
ing cigarettes. She was glad that
all her townspeople .were not ad
dicted Tto that terrible hablt
Goodness knows, chewing was bad
enough. It was terrible for their
health and, complexions. .s Besides,
it was such a vulgar habit. Pris
cllla blushed to think that even
the very nicest lady grasshoppers
chewed.' Something really ought
to be done about it. '' '
, And t so Priscllla , committed a
speech all about the evil effects
of . chewing . . tobacco and - went
around to the various clubs and
delivered it,. . :
Hi,' Her speech - was- so convincing
and her lovely complexion (due to
her shunning of the bad habit) sd
enticing that even the worst ol4
chewers wereJ moved. "?They ad
mitted that they had felt queer
pains around their hearts lately,
and Priscllla proved conclusively
that it was due to the tobacco. '
It was not long before the fright
ened f grasshoppers formed "the
"O r a s s h o p p e r 's Anti-Tobacco
League, and they all signed
tbe -pledge never again to chew. .
All week long Priscllla worked.
and at last late Saturday night she
had the name of every Inhabitant
of Hoppervllle on her pledge. My.
how happy she was! She was just
going home, thinking that she had
never been so thankful in all her
life. It was wonderful to do so
much good. She had the promises
of all the grasshoppers that they
wOuld never again chew. ,
"What is that peculiar smell?"
Priscllla. wondered. It reminded
her that they should have had
some sort of celebration, a bon
fire or something, to mark this
wonderful change in" Hoppervllle.
Maybe some of the dear young
grasshoppers that had helped her
in her campaign had thought of It.
Priscllla followed her nose to
investigate. She was led around
back of the barn. There the lovely
missionary fainted dead away to
discover all 'the younger set of
Hoppervllle 'learning to smoke
cigarettes. ,". ' -r 1

FOOD STANDARDS OF U. B.
, "BEST IN WORLIV
If It Is true that the health of
a; nation is comparable to" the
quality of its food, then the One
hundred and ten million people in
the United States constitute the
healthiest body of human beings
in the world. Jhe food "we eat to
day, says W. O. Campbell, acting
chief of the bureau of chemistry.
United States department of ag
riculture, is more free from' harm
ful preservatives and other dele
terious Ingredients than ever be
fore, and no country iif the world
so efficiently or carefully inspects
the food supply -. of. its people, or
protects ' them from consuming
through. ignorance, food or drugs
of a harmful nature.
The American system is an out
growth of fifty years of food con
trol work culminating In the pas
sage of the federal food and drugs
act, which under the direction: of
the secretary ot, agriculture is en
forced by the bureau of chemis
try. This 'aw is all inclusive and
states that no food or drugs, medi
cines or liquors, which are adul
terated, mlsbranded, poisonous,, or
deleterious shall be manufactured
or offered for sale or transporta
tion in the United States. . , ;
. As a rule, food laws of foreign
countries are made with reference
to some specific product and each
law alms to state all possible con
ditions that might arise in regard
to the one product in question.
That system, which means a vast
number-of laws to cover all. possi
bilities of adulteration and mis
branding of - different food pro
ducts, is cumbersome and ineffi
cient as compared with that of our
own country.; ;;l
,, Under the federal - food and
drugs act, which has been . in op
eration since 1906, an organiza
tion and a system have been built
up which enables all parts of the
force to co-operate in cleaning up
any form of violation, that may be
found to exist and ' to attack " the
problem in all parts of the United
States simultaneoosly or in widely
different parts, wherever, the par
ticular form of violation may be
in evidence. Through the power
conferred in the seizure section
of the federal law, it is possible
by means of concerted actioa t
federal, state and1 municipal c;::
clala to seize In widely-separju: '
parts of the country a large number.-of
'shipments of any manatac
turer who may be found fa l
shippihg In ' interstate commerc
foods or drugs adulterated or ml .
branded within tbe terms of th -law,"
This makes It Incumber .i
upon 'a manufacturer either t
Immediately change his practice
so as to bring them into conform
lty with law, or' to go our c
business. The usual effect is an
immediate change for the better.
A great amount of food is im
ported; into the United States frou
foreign . countries to satisfy th
tastes of our foreign born popula
tion. These foods as well ti
others which . are brought in be
cause of the supposedly superior
value require a great amount t:
attention by the food inspected
to nrevent the imnortatlon of
'ulterated and v mlsbranded tr--
ducts. In this matter of fool
importation the United State:
Is much more particular tiaa
other countries. No food U
accepted I for ; importation lz';i
the United ' States if it fai:r
to pass the food laws of the coun
try from which it comes, and eye .
if it does meet with the require
ments in that country it must tLj
come up to our standards before
it is 'admitted. ; , ,
The merit of our system of foc i
and drug law enforcement: is t
ing, recognized 1 in some for!a
countries. Recently the Pan-American
Union caused to be printe l
in Spanish' and Portuguese for cir
culation In South American coun
