OREGON'S GREATEST NEED Oregon's greatest need is advertising Because advertising will bring all the other needs ; more people for jthe industries on the land, linked up with more people in the industries in the cities , Giving a solid and balanced growth of population and wealth; allowing every resource of our state to be steadily developed on safe lines. House bill 278 was defeated by a close vote in the lower branch of the Oregon legislature a couple of days ago; but it ; is understood that there is to be an attempt at reconsidera tion, because a number of members did not fuDy understand its provisions And. this should be done; and the bill ought to pass. A sponsor of the measure has made out a statement of the "Objects and Purposes of the Bill," plain and to the point, as follows : This bill is not mandatory. It simply gives county authorities authority to levy this tax, if they so desire. The proceeds of this tax must be spent on legitimate development and advertising, to suit the needs of the county. The levy can be for all or any portion of the rate authorized in the bill. The amount raised by the tax is entirely within the control of the county. ' . All the states and communities in America that are advertising, are progressing. They are increasing their populations, bank deposits, industries and the settlers on the lands. These states, rather than devise means for reducing taxation, are bringing more people into the state, to lighten the burden of taxation, and to spread it over more people. . 1 Oregon's greatest need is for new people, new industries, new set tlers, but she is not getting them because she hasn't adopted the same methods as other states. Idaho, in this present legislature, is providing for a national adver tising campaign, through legislative appropriation. It will advertise to attract tourists, for new settlers, for new markets for its products, and for new industries. It will be the fourteenth state to adopt an advertising by taxation policy. "Florida has brought more wealth into the state- in the pas t three years,th"rdugh advertising, than in the previous 25 years. Four million doUars is spent in advertising annually, raised by taxation. California has a population equal to all the rest of the Pacific coast. She has not any greater natural assets, or any more advan tages than Oregon or Washinglno, but she has populated and develop ed the state through advertising. California spends two and one-half million dollars a year in advertising, one-half of which is raised by taxation. . California has the same law that under its provisions forty-eight counties in California have taken advantage of the authority created. Portland business men in the past years have raised $550,000 to develop and advertise. Oregon, without one dollar from any other portion of the state. Every part of the state has benefitted. THE McNARY BILL . The McNary bill passed the house last night. This is what was known as the McNary-Haugen bill. But the Hau gen. bill was withdrawn and the McNary bill substituted for it in the house, after the McNary bill passed the senate And the determined farm bloc and other supporters held the house in continuous session, without dinner, last night, in order to reach the vote that passed it. The bill now goes to the president, and if he signs it, the bill will be the law; the farm relief act; the only farm relief act that has been considered that will give farm relief Though whatever else it will do is problematical. One thing certain, it will work. This is admitted by the greatest living economists, though it will be an entirely new thing in the world. ; No such an experment was ever yet tried on so extensive a scale. In very few words, it is this: It is 100 per cent compulsory cooperation. Take the case of wheat. Say the United States produces 800,000,000 bush els of wheat for sale in the markets. Say this country will use,00,QOO,000 bushels of wheat. That leaves 200,000,000 bushels to sell outside the United States. The tariff duty on - wheat is 42 cents a bushel. The board to administer the McNary law will assess every bushel of wheat sold off the farms, say 5 cents a busheL The price will be, say, 40 cents : a btishel above the world price of wheat. This will give the kj farmers who sell their wheat off their farms 35 cents a bushel : above the worfd.price. The surplus of 200,000 bushels will be fed into. the'. Vorld markets at what it will bring. The 5 cents a bushel paid: into the revolving fund will be used to make up the losses on the exported wheat.' That is all there is to at If a larger surplus of wheat is grown, the whole amount sold will have to pay more than 5 cents a bushel to make up the losses on the exported wheat, if the world market is low, and the farmer will net less than 35 cents above the world price. 4 1 1 ' i The bill as it is now mentions wheat, corn, swine, cotton end rice as major crops each haying an exportable surplus; but this 'tsonly- descriptive. The operation of the law may ; include ANY major crop with an exportable surplus, like prunes, appletanything. ; .' - No one is obliged to sell, anything. He may feed' or plant his product on his farm, and pay nothing But if he sells any product designated as coming under the operation of the law, he mustpay"hefee to make iip the loss, if any, on the exportable surplus.

WHIPPED TO The Cantonese armies are forging north. They will take Shanghai. Great things were threatened by the heathen war lords a few days ago but their forces are whipped, and part of them absorbed by the Cantonese armies. Great things are threatened by them further north, ;, a. ii e -r , against the army of Marshal general But if they come up against Feng's forces they will be whipped to a frazzle and scattered to the four winds. The world never saw a better army of its size than Feng's 180,000 Christian soldiers, nor a more loyal one. The Cantonese and the Feng armies will soon be in Pekin, and, if they can agree, as they should, having much the same objectives, there will be a new United States of China Which, if they can hold together long enough, will make China a great nation ; the most populous and trie richest in the world, past or present ; not even excepting the United States.

Although the property loss is conceded to be heavy and probably will run into several million dol lars, orchardists and truck farm ers predicted that the benefit to crops by the soaking four days' rain would overshadow the dam age done by the storm. Definite estimates of property damages still were lacking today. The death toll stood at 22. The cost of repairs to roads and bridges in Los Angeles alone has been placed at $1,000,000 with an additional $100,000 to cover dam ages to homes and private prop erty. The losses mountea today when reports received from, Escondido stated that the entire San Pasquale valley east of there had been swept by flood waters causing damages estimated at $500,000.
