needs on this country : nation wide provision for good maternity
care and, what is equally important, a nation-wide .recognition
of the urgency-jf this care." ' - ; '
I The aboVe is. a serious indictment -against the Unitfcd Stajtes.
Is it that we care less for the mothers of our race than' these

that we stand twentieth, in the list

THE GENERAL BUSINESS OUTLOOK
i The big and observing and shrewd men in the business
v orld believe times will be better from now on in the United
States as a whole, as witness the following brief excerpts from
t'ie current weekly ' financial x bulletin of Henry Clews & Co.,
tiie Wall street authorities of good and high' repute : .' ) '
i "Altogether, the situation is. one of reasonable promise in
tlio majority of business lines, notwithstanding a narrow mar
gla of profit. p ' "''7 -'. '-
J "Gold continues to flow into the United States, the amount
fur last mohth being $45,000,000. v! .
n "Growing favor for the plans of the American committee
o experts is to be noted both in France and Germany, while
it. is generally admitted that the definite acceptance of the
saheme and the making -of the necessary financial arrangements
consequent thereon will lead to"decided improvement of trade.
"With money abundant and cheap, and with the federal
reser'e system showing a ratio for the past, week of 83 per cent,
and decided decline in bills discounted, financial conditions con
tinue as unimpeachable as ever. ' ; J I t
"It has become more than ever manifest during the past
week that the market is working on a 'sold out basis; that weak
atcounts have been well liquidated, and that t lie great bulk
of stocks are now held by investors who arc looking confidently
to a better condition of things in the early future. I

To hear some of these enemies
of the primary system talk you
would think there never had been
a slate pat up- in politics until the
primary came into vogue. The
rule of bosses. In the old days
caucuses were packed and rough
necks taken from place to place to
help pack them. Money was used
freely in politics. Men were hired
openly to help pack caucuses and
to continue the boss of the elec
torate. That is all gone now,
Men put out their slates, of course,
but there is not one dollar spent
in1 elections now where ten was
spent. ' Twenty years ago the ma
jority of the nominations were
bought, either directly or indirect
ly; now they are secured on an
Issue of organization. ' Today we
have purity In the primary. In
our last primary there was not a
hint of any candidate using undue
processes to secure his nomination
True, organizations put out
slates, but they were only recom
mendations and men are not read
out of the parties as they used to
be for disregarding them.
THE TROURIE WITH CON
GRESS Jay House, who is famous in
the mid-west as a writer, also oc
casionally makes a comprehensive
diagnosis. Here is his judgment
pronounced upon congress.
"One trouble with congress is
that ft has -been blackmailed - so
often in the 10 years last past that
it is scared stiff. The proceduro
of legislation has resolved itself,
not into a consideration of the
merits of a given case, but into a
matter of holding a gun on con
gress. ; Congress is In such a state
of funk that any belligerent min
ority can bulldoze It into enacting
any sort of measure into law. The
situation is complicated by the
fact that there is no longer party
organization or party discipline.
Conversely, there is no longer par
ty protection for the congressman
who does his duty ; as he sees it.
Every member of congress is on
his own and in direct competition
before the voters of his state or
district with the political snake
doctors who write their bwn diplo
mas. In the circumstances, a con
gressman Is much like a rabbit;
i is hi business to- be cautious.
Mr. House adds that while con
gress has come to be an unimpres
sive body It is fully as impressive
as ' its constituency. Therein is
some food- lor thought; .It..W not
necessary to go into neighboring
states to witness the spectacle of
aiminority trying to bulldoze a
congressman. What may reason
ably be expected as the result onj
the public welfare if that proced-3
are becomes the accepted thing Is
a fair qaestio'n. '
Secretary Wallace points out
that cooperative associations de
pend for; their success more upon
management thaa upon organiza
tion. Congress exempted the
farmers' organizations from the
operations of- the. anti-trust laws
and trade conspiracy statutes, but
in doing so assumed no responsi
bility for the organization or con
ventions. The secretary announc
es that there are' 10,000 coopera
tive organizations among'the farm
ers and 1150 disbanded last year.
They ; disbanded "because of bad
management. Management has
more to do with cooperatives than
anything: else. It Is th rook
which- successful'' 'coooerailwes
stand, and also the rock upon
which they fall.i ' i : 5 .
We are Inclined to agree with
the prune growers' association that
cooperative organization should
embrace just one commodity and
not try to take In the whole valley
production. In this way there can
be ennter ahots fired constantly.
The . organization must be big
enough to pay a fair management,
but not. undertake. fancy salaries.
GOOD ENOUGH
v" The . decision that , the fire ap
paratus had carried is mighty good
news for Salem. There Is a great
need for ; that apparatus and a
great risk " being run every day.
It was impossible to buy it out
of the revenues, and the bond Issue
was resorted to. not because it
was desirable, but because it 'was
necessary. The voters, by a large
majority, decided in favor of the
apparatus and it would have been
shame to have a technicality of
the law interfere with the protec
tion of . propetrty.
I1EAVV TRUCKS
.The. Oregon ; Journal protests
against the heavy trucks. The
Oregon 'Statesman joins most
heartily in the protest. in anoth
er column appears the article from
the Journal. Read it carefully and
begin thinking of some plan to stop
this crushing of the roads. The
truck drivers are violating the
laws and we are practically wink
ing at them. , :. ., .4.. ...

the other for personal satisfaction.
There can be no difference in the
degree of their guilt. One of these
days we will get a conspiracy law,
Under that law the dragnet of the
law will operate equally' against
the seller and the purchaser." They
are both equal criminals' no w, but
the public has not : yet accepted
that fact. T ! ' . . , . ,
One of - the: fights that should
enlist not only the fruit growers
but all of the citizens today, is
against the earwig. There is no
telling how formidable It will be
come this year, but we know it
will be bad.' I
Oscar Underwood does not seem
to be making much progress as the
"favorite son'j of the south. He
nas only been able to carry his
own state, and did not get that by
a very encouraging majority.
A COMING SCANDAL
Within '20 minutes about mid
night,' four big trucks with trailers
passed a given point, on the Jef
ferson-Salem highway last week.
Another night a Portland bound
automobile passed 15 such trucks
and trailers between Portland 'and
Salem. . .:: ' :.; ;, .
There are attaches, of the.. Ore
gon state highway department.-who
say one of these huge- machines
with trailer does more damage to
the paved highway than a41 itae
automobiles that Pass over it,iThe
further statement Is that the
trucks are frequently overloaded
a truck and trailer sometimes car
rying 14 or 15 tons at a load. '
Did you ever notice how a sub
stantlal house shakes and Its. win
dows rattle and a distinct move
ment of the whole building., takes
place when a heavily-laden frock
passes on a nearby street?-Is there
any doubt In anybody's mind -who
hag noted these heavy vibrations
and concussions that the trucks are
smashing the paved highway to
pieces? f V: -...;.

If these huge trucks are allowed

and howls? As the paving disinte

So abworbed was I that' I-did
not realize until a car had whirled

signal from Katherine, and that
under Df. Pettifs secort she was
already on her way to the hospital
to begin her delicate and import
ant espionage over the man who
had so persecuted and terrified
Katie. :t - f ;v
The little ' encounter, wasj silur,

thoughts to the terrific problem
which Lillian was facing, especial
ly to that particular fragment of
the tangled skein, the threads of
which lay in Katie's fingers. I
wondered if there were not some

which the man who had so strange

her to take.: I resolved to talk, to
my little maid concerning her

I made another resolution, also
as I found myself nearing the old
farmhouse we had bought. ! Thi
was to put all sentimental worry
concerning my husband out of my
mind. He was not - worrying
about me not perceptibly " any
way I said to myself with a little
feeling of pique which I tried con
scientiously to smother, but which
I think, persisted In my sub-con
sclousaess long after I had ban
ished it from my conscious
thoughts, and I meant to take
leaf from his book. j
Lillian met me at the door, her
eyes worried, but mirthful, nev
ertheless. I
"Better go to your mother-in
law in the dining room," she said
"She's on the rampage, and I don'
know, how long Katie is going to
stand the strain without snapping
in two." - . ..-) ' i:
I -hurried to the dining room to
find Mother Graham extending
piece of bacon upon the end of
fork, and glaring from it to Katie
condemningly.
"Katie's Out-of-Sorts."
,".Do;you call this bacon proper
ly cooked?" she was demanding.
'It's positively raw." t
"I can't tell vot you Tant,"4re
turned Katie sullenly. ".You Isay

"If you had any brains in that
head of yours, you'd know that
there's a medium. between burned
bacon and greasy , raw stuff like

any jot.it and see if you can make
me a piece of decent toast.''
My mother-in-law was seated so
that she could not see the door in
which I was standing. I looked
anxiously at Katie's sullen face
for. I knew upon .what a hair-trig
;er her temper always hung. But
my surprise she answered no
impertinent word but meekly
pciked up the offending plate of
bacon and vanished with it into the
kitchen. , I advanced i into the
i-oom to find my mother-in-law
looking wonderingly at . the kitchen
floor.
"Snmthln!', the matter with
ihai'girl,", she said. "Usually, she
has. a string of excuses as long as
the .moral law. I hope she isn't
sickening for, something.! You
don't suppose , she brought back
anything contagious from that hole
she was in. dp you?" ; She stared
at me in sudden fright, evidently
working her imagination up to all
sorts. of horrors. i t -
"What nonsense, Mother!"
answered lightjy, although at her
words my apprehensive thoughts
flew to Junior. "Katie's simply
out-of-sorts about Jim. ' But as
want to ask her about that man In
the hospital, I'd like : her to set
calmed down a bit, so you won't
mind it I make your i toast and
bring it in, will you?" . !
"I don't care if you do all her
work," Mother Graham answered
tartly, "but for your own sake I'd
advise you not to spoil her again
as you used to do." ,
