v i THE ADJUSTED COMPENSATION PLAN . '
General. White in bis address on adjusted compensation at
the Salem Arnipry Saturday night brought out this point very
clearly : . ? ; t '
- That adjusted Compensation is going ,to be collected Y
some one- ) . - ' ...
That fcome one is going to get that other -dollar a day that
belongs to the boys who served through the hell of war for a
dollar a day , : .
' Those young men who ware called from their norma J work
and sent without training into the turmoil st war
Who were sent into the terrible struggle with the .cheers
of the multitude and the assurance of their stay-at-home Coun
trymen, We will deal fairly with; jou when you come back, if
you do come-back, and again take up the broken thread of
civil life " . . . y, .
The only unanswered question, now' that the problem of
"fair dealing" is Drought face tb face with those.who ihade the
pledge, is whether the extra dollar a day will be given to the
men who according to every rule of justice deserve it
Or whether it will be shaved off .the federal income tax of
the larger fortunes of the country.
For it has been proved that the government can py the
just debt to the ex-service men and at the same time carry out
tax reduction on all incomes of a thousand dollars a month or
less.' . . ' ' .' -'
The worst thing charged by General White in the fight
which has been waged against adjusted compensation is the foul
methods used. ,
Can any one who has read the Literary Digest's ''campaign
for information", doubt ithaj the campaign is pro aaifda and
not an honest search for information? , ;
Who is-spending the huge fortune to put the Literary Digest
campaign across! Fifteen million ballots i-full page advertise
ments in newspapers throughout theUnited States. The charge
was made by General White that the Literary Digest canvas
rivals German propaganda in -warjdays, and that such methods
are dangerous to the country. .:.:. . .
Why this hue and cry against paying the service, men!
Does any 'one. say .."that a dollar. a day was enoigjtto pay a
young man for temporary military service when twelve- to thirty
dollars a day ( was the wage scaly in the shipyards aftljSprucc
Drodnetion factories which ' never contributed a ,siiigle -thing to
Was there any mor obligation on the part of the civilian
in uniform to serve forfa; dollar a day, than there was on the
part of the civilian in overalls or frock coats . i
Can anvonfMiuote an-honest reason for saying that the re
turned soldier, his work in the trenches done and back, "at his
work galn, is " capitalizing patriotism" when be expresses a
willingness to accept two dollars a day, instead of one dollar,
for those long, hard months t T . 1
Is "patriotism" any more the duty and affair of one citizen
than it is of any other citizen! Why should allthe sacrifice
.be made by one citizen in a National .crisis.
v General White contended that to any person who looks into
the facts, there is no honest argument that can be raised against
adjusted Compensation r ; i ,
And that the whole case against the bill is that some of
those who have the larger incomes of the eountry want to put the
money into their own pockets '. : ( -. ".
. By having it shaved off their inctme taxes under the plan
of Andrew Mellon '
' Who, it .can be said by way of showing that he might pos
sibly have a slight interest in the matter, possess one of the three
largest personal fortunes in, the United States.
So much for a very bnef summary of what General White
said in his Armory addressT'S . '
, Now, what is thadjusted compensation plan,! Very brief
ly, this is the plan: . ' '
Give additional service pay for every one1 upo. and includ
ing the rank of captain while in the United States .of $1 a day,
and $125 a day whAe5, afloat .or, over seas; deducting the $60
iriven each soldier'on sllschar&e!xi'rii6 maximum is $500 forlB'er
vice in the United States and $625 for, foreign service.'
First provision: .If la'man'hasoO or lesidue him,. he gets
the cash. .
Secondj A fraid up life insurance policy maturing in 20
years; bringing at maturity approximately three times the ad
justed service pay. This policy is to have a loan yaiue.f' If a
holder borrows money on his policy and does not. pay, the Sec
retary of the Treasury may take it up, and the holder may re
deem it at any time before maturity, by, paying- principal Vnd
interest. If the holder 'dies, his estate getsithe same benefits.
He cannot sell the policy. ' j ' . , "Vf
. Third : Vocational' training, allowing the veteran to 'apply
his adjusted service credit, computed in this option at $1.75 a
day, to complete an education interrupted by the, .war.
- 5 : Fourth; Farm or heme aid. v VctcransHwlrtvish 'i.jbiwy
homes or farmsor improve homes or farms, or pay off indebtcd
iiess on homes or farms may receive for this iipeeifieU purpose
adjusted service credits,, increased by 25 per cent." r ' ' ;
The adjusted secvice credit is designed to Wake the veteran
a home owner in city or country, or to give him a better educa
tion, or to give hiin paid up life insurance! 1 v ; -'JV -
That'is the proposition j very briefly. V-. f -
How much would it cost! It would cost $3,0000,000.
That is the amount the war would have cost the people of the
United States had itlasted three, months longer. It is only a
fraction of what it; would have cost this country' had it been
lost as millions believe it, would have been lost; but for the
help oMhe mcix who Vould receive the benefits of the adjusted
compensatfon-f- " - .' . ' ."'"' -7 5 ; "";'
And the' great bulk of the money to be paid out not at once,
but running over a period of twenty years. v

gales himself to conform to those
laws which thf community thought
proper to estabysh, and the species
of the legal obedience and confor
mity is Ittfinitcly more desirable
than that wild and savage liberty
which U , sacrificed. o obtain it.
For po ihan .that IcOnsiders for a
moment would wish to retain the
absolute and ' ancon trolled powr
of doing whalew he jpleascs; the
consequences of which are 'that
cvry other man would also have

would be no security to Individu
als in any enjoyment of life. Po
litical, therefore, or ciril liberty,
which is that of a .member of so
ciety, is ho other than natural
liberty, so far - restrained by hu
man laws as is necessary and ex
pedient for the general advantage
of the 'public. Hence, we may
collect that the law. which re
strains a man from doing mischief
to his fellow citizens, though it
diminishes the natural, increases
the civil liberties of mankind."
Now. therefore, the founders of
the United States government em
bodied in the- constitution the
opinion above quoted, and also
wisely divided the government in
to three departments, vis: Legis
lative, executive and judicial. We
will take it for granted that all
are more or less familiar with
the first mentioned departments.
The judicial, especially, the su
preme court, whose duty it is to
pass on the constitutionality of
laws passed by congress has a very
responsible duty to perform for the
people.
Further, it is the duty of the
people to sustain the opinions
rendered by the court, as it is the
constitution that protects the pub
lic and' private rights of our re
public. .
In fact, the United States su
preme court is the balance wheel
which protects and safeguards our
entire governmental life.
Frit , away the constitution and
the union of our country is gone. .
Therefore, it is the duty of every
citizen of this great republic to'
become acquainted with its pro
visions, restrictions and limita
tions and extend that knowledge
to coming generations.
Knowledge is the truest secur
ity of the constitution and the
union.
Without the constitution there
would be continuous civil strife
and our independence would be
gone. .
The people possess the sovereign
power to defend its integrity.
WHEAT AND COWS
The Oregon Statesman has
proved to the satisfaction of its
constituency that our dairy busi
ness is capable of large expansion.
Also, the reports over the country
indicate that the wheat business
is overdone. The American farm
er is both a producer and a mer
chant. He produces and sells to
the world andne'niusF reach "outt
far. The wheat grower is compet
ing with the world's great wheat
producing centers, while the dairy
business is neglected. We know
of many countries in the middle,
west where, the farmers do not
even produce their own milk. The
wheat prospect is not -encouraging.
In the last year's slump the
foreign demand for American food
stuffs fell off by more than $200,
000,000. While we sold less bread-stuffs-abroad,
there was an active
increase in the American meats,
fats and dairy products. Decem
ber, 1922, showed an increase of
200 per cent over this month in
1922. In December, 1922, our ex
ports of evaporated were
6,420,000 pounds, and in Decem
ber, 1923 we had reached the
enormous -.figure of 24,631,000
pounds. In condensed in Decem
ber, 192"2, we sent abroad 3,4 30.
000, and In December, 1923, It
reached 5,138,000 pounds.
The heavy movement of evapo
rated. milk, which was about four
times the volume of 1922, was dis
posed of as follows: To Belgium,
2,066,000 pounds; to France, V
372,000 pounds; to Germany, 10,
510,000 pounds; to Holland, 2,
782,000 pounds; to the United
Kingdom. Great Britain, 4,265,
000 pounds.
Could any appeal be stronger
for diversified crops?
PREMIER MACDOXALD
preat praise is given the first
labor premier of England and he
merits most of it. He tells of his
early struggles: and how labor!
ously he buifCup his party. It
is very pretty story, but here
are the facts:.
, When Macdonald was a young
man he ran for parliament. A
young woman furnished his cam
paign fund, as he was very poor,
but ho was defeated. The next
time the same thing happened, the
came young woman furnishing the
campaign fund, and he was again
defeated. Then he sought out the
woman and married her. He has
never done a Jick of work since
that time.- - He bad. leisure for
politics, and devoted his whole
time to .building- up h&iparty. He
married his Opportunity. -
IBut there was something to the
man, for although, his wife died fn
1911,' he has continued to d?vciop
and is noW a national figure.
M'ADOO .TESTIFIES
Mr. McAdoo was very indignant
and much alarmed because of the
scandal of -?. the iTcapol Dome and
he fenced away-from himself very
carefully; It was handled tenderly
4- fyH;tM i tHnV'-4Tmt-li
made a good defense. It is easy
for a man to deceive himself in
such circumstances.
However, Mr. McAdoo may be
indignant, but hecannot choke off
the stench of oil. In this connec
tion we notice that Senator Walsh,
who is conducting the investiga
tion, made an attack on Senator
Reed of Missouri for exposing Mc
Adoo. Walsh was venemous when
after Fall, but in the case of Mc
Adoo he publicly condemned a
fellow senator who told of Mc
Adoo's employment. The country
makes valuec, and the country was
quick to see .this difference. How
ever, we need not take McAdoo
seriously any more. He will not
be nominated in the first place,
and if he should happen to be nom
inated, it would be a great thing
for the republicans.
DEXBY SHOULD GO
Of course, President Coolidge
refused to permit congress to say
who should stay in his cabinet and
who should go out. Coolidge topk
the only course he could pursue
and maintain his self respect.
But " Secretary Denby, knowing
this feeling against him, and
knowing that as a member of the
cabinet 'he will almost wreck the
party organization, cannot afford
to turn a deaf ear to the resolu
tion adopted by congress.
It i3 generally known that " the
Denbys are very much in love with
his social position, and the family
generosity in entertaining was a
subject of cirticism on the part of
Mrs. Pcindexter a few years ago.
However, Mr. Denby owes it to his
party and to his chief to rsign,
promptly.
COOLIDGE AND HARDING
It is now apparent that Presi
dent Coolidge will have to und
considerable that President Hard
ing did. It will also be recalled
that Roosevelt undertook to carry
out the McKinley policies, but
ended with a healthy crop of
Roosevelt policies. The same must
happen to Coolidge'. he' must break
away . from many things of his
predecessor and establish a Cool
idge administration. The republi
cans, lost their opportunity when
they failed - to, pursue the war
frauds, and the democrats are now
making hay by magnifying the re
publican frauds. However, Cool
idge still has tfme to make his
own policy, clean house where.
necessary, and be, re-elected., . .
SERVES HIM RIGHT
The story comes now that after
the Japanese disaster speculators
bought up a lot of lumber and at
tempted to unload it upon the
Japanese at a large profit. Japan
very wisely decided to limit its
buying, and the speculators still
have the lumber..
You can look for more agita
tion against Japan.
Germany is buying American
prunes. Prunes are cheap and of
great food alue and we need to
sell them. That is a combination
worth looking after.
Since McAdoo burned h i s
briches behind him it does not
seem that he has showa any more
speed.

THE WAY MOTHER GRAHAM
"TOOK A HAND."
"Elizabeth!" My mother-in-law's
voice was like a trumpet call,
with an exceedingly angry trum
peter blowing the instrument.
"What on earth does this perform
ance mean? I left this room in
order not ten minutes ago, and
now and now just look at it!"
I did not wonder that her voice
faltered and ran down in sheer in
ability to express her wrath, and,
consternation. Our pretty living
room looked as if the traditional
cyclone had taken an especially
vicious twirl. in it. Beside the up
turned antique sqfa, to which the
small amateur Thespians were still
clinging, several chairs were over
turned, and my best sofat cushions
lay,; crumpled tuto , tfirty,'- untidy
lumps iu different corners of the
room. 1 . ' ' ' . - . ,

indulged in one of her tantrums.
"Free and Full Fiddlesticks!"
Elizabeth Harrison raised her
really. fine eyebrows a trifle, and
looked at her mother with no
trace of confusion.
"Don't distress yourself, mother,
dear," she said smoothly. "The
children, especially Mary, have the
dramatic instinct so strongly de
veloped that I always afford it a
free outlet whenever possible. And
our best educators, you know, con
sider the .free and full develop
ment of a child's, mind to be of
the utmost importance. I am
sure Margaret will be interested in
the children's performance, as she
has a little one coming on, whose
dramatic instinct she will wish to
have developed."
It was the first recognition of
my presence she had given. She
was really superb in her smooth,
apparently unconcerned insolenec,
I told myself, even as I made the
grim resolve that if; Junior's dra
matic instincts took the form of
destroying other people's belong
ings in so atrocious a fashion as
the performance before me, his
free and full development would
be suddenly and dramatically halt
ed with the business end of a
hickory switch.
I opened my lips for a conven
tional greeting of ray sister-in-law
and aa introduction of her to Lil
lian, but my mother-in-law gave
me no chance to speak. 1 used to
get angry at Alother Graham's lit
tle habit of relegating me to the
extreme edge of the horizon and
leaving me there while she carried
on a discussion, but the years have
brought me forbearance and a
sense of humor, and I felt no ran
cor at her present dumping of me
there, especially as, without mean
ing I am sure to champion mo, she
proceeded to give voice to my own
secret thoughts.
"Strive For Calmness."
"Free and full fiddlesticks!"
she exploded contemptuously.
"Elizabeth, you always were a fool
on the subject of fads, but I never
did expect to. see a child of mine
urn out to be such an absolute
driveling idiot as you are in the
training of these children. , But
I can tell you now, I'm not too old
-to handle a switch, and I haven't
forgotten how. So if you don't
Want some well, you'd better get
them out of here and washed up
for' supper. Mary, get up off that
floor this instant." j " 1
The command was like the snap
Of ' a whip, and Mary instantly
obeyed,, while her brothers scram
bled' down from the eofa to huddle
wjth their sister in wholesome fear
'tf therr'sTahdmother, i v
"Now. put everything in this
room exactly as you found it,' the
Old martinet commanded, and as
the children scurried to obey,Eliz
abeth rose majestically, apparent
ly unruffled -at her mother's ac
tion. But her set smile was ia tri
fle awry, and I guessed that she
teas molten inside:. ;
r f 'Mother, dear," she cooed sweet
ly, "you really shouldn't agitate
yourself in this way at youri age.
Always strive for calmness."
"Elizabeth!" Her mother posi
tively sputtered in her wrath "If
you give me another word of that
kind of talk I shall slap j you.
Strive for calmness!" r j
; Her glance swept the disordered
room, and I knew that I must get
out of the room or disgrace myself
by laughing aloud. But Elizabeth
herself rescued me by coming up

"The mountains evidently j have
agreed with you. And this! must
be Mrs. Underwood of' whom I
have heard so much." j.
.Lillian murmured a convention
al response I guessed that she
was as near helpless laughter as I.
And then, her. children having
made quick work of the restoration

her brood together and swam' out

For six consecutive years the

has been rising. The compilation
of the records from all over the
country for 1923 shows a slight
rise above the average of the
previous year. This has now been
going on for six years. The mean

Growers' Association
Moves to New Quarters
Reduction of overhead expenses
in general with their retrench
ment policy was the reason given
by M. J. Xewhouse, general man
ager of the Oregon Growers
Cooperative association, for sign
ing a lease for new quarters It was
announced yesterday. For some
time it has been known that the
Growers . contemplated moving
from their luxuriant quarters on
the fifth floor of the Masonic
building to a cheaper place. By
March 1 the association will be
established on the third floor of
the old bank building at the south
west corner of Commercial and
Chemeketa.
Rumor has it that the national
guard headquarters will be moved
from their present offices in the
United States National - bank
building to the rooms vacated by4
the Oregon Growers. , In this case
all state and federal military af
fairs Will be transacted In one lo
