Per Coey I tent. On train, and Newa etanda I cent, The Tariff Boomerang TARIFF-raising is a game which other nations may in dulge in with quite as much abandon as Gnindyfied America. Australia is an example of a nation which seeks by extremely high tariffs to keep going a home industry . a 1 j 1 - inai is nanrsrrung Dy poor macmnery ana iauor union regu lations. It now makes what Prime Minister Hughes says i3 "the boldest and gravest experiment in economics and fi- scarcely accept the premiers superlatives; but tms is tne Australian program: Some 80 commodities including farm machinery, radio sets, aluminum ware, cement, ducts, etc, are to be virtually prohibited.. Some 15 otter com modities are to have the volume of imports greatly reduced. Cigarettes, snuff and locomotives are cut down 50 in quan- uiy Enippea mio me country . a rise ui ovyo ia me wuin duties on motor cars, cameras, paints, hosiery, shoes, etc., is announced. The purpose is not only to protect home industry, but to correct the Balance I its ioreign exenange, wnrcn nas been running against Australia. Germany too is putting the jack-screws under her tar iffs. Three times in the past nine months her rates have been raised, agricultural imports being the ones chiefly af fected. Germany is alarmed at the prospect of the farm board in this country dumping its surplus of wheat and rye on their market, thus ruining the German farmers. Last week Hermann Dietrich, the minister of trade, 'cold the Ger man Chamber of Commerce: "We must nuke- provision against the possibility of huge supplies of grain which have been stored' up in the principal producing markets being - thrown on the world market at dumping prices and destroy ing German agriculture." France too has just announced higher duties on motor cars. Other countries have raised rates on wheat. The net effect of the tariff spiral is to impede the flow of goods which is the life of national as well as international prosperity. At a time when nations should be seeking to en courage the movement of products along natural lines in order to preserve the proper balance of trade, we find gov ernments resorting to absurd mark-ups in their import du ties, all from fear Of the other fellow. Our exports suffer from the new restrictions of Australia, France, Germany. Our wheat and meats pile up in this country because the for eign demand falls off. So long as complex economic problems are settled in the light of antiquated political theories, it is hard to underwrite prosperity by legislation. Shrinking the Town Claims THE Eugene Register bravely faces the censure of the "Radiators" and other whoopla'artists of its home town when it makes a guess at 17,000 as the population which the census will show for Eugene. The usual booster rating for the Lane county capital has been at least 20,000. The Register prefers to salt the c of c estimates and in making its own prediction chooses a more conservative figure. The example is a sound one. A good many cities are go ing to be disappointed when the result of .the roll call is made known. Following the Register's example, we will clip off 3000 from local estimates and turn in a guess for Salem at around 25,000. That would show a gain of nearly 50 in ten years, for the count in 1920 was 17,679. In Oregon, Portland will of course, show a good gain, m. m w mm mm MM Mil a likewise Kiamatn t ails and Aieaiora. me eastern uregon cit ies in the agricultural belt will not show a great deal of change. La Grande may gain while Pendleton may lose. As toria will show a population decline. Klamath county, Lincoln county, Clackamas, Marion will all show healthy increases due to development within those counties. When the figures are announced it will be interest ing to study them and note the trends in growth and develop ment in the state. Tightening up Regulation in B. C. WE have heard so much about the success of the Canad ian method of liquor control that it is surprising to learn that in that country the liquor question is by no means solved by its government liquor stores. Law violations and evasions have been common- in the provinces. Now the authorities in British Columbia have put into force certain amendments to the act which aim to curb evils which have been disclosed. Proprietary clubs which have been virtually beer joints, Will be wiped out. Bootlegging establishments after a sec ond conviction within , a year wr liquor Belling will be pad locked for twelve months; and in Canada "they don't mean maybe." Boats or vehicles transporting liquor illegally will be forfeited to the Crown. Other amendments are also an nounced. No matter what system of liquor control is adopted, there will be law violations - and the violators are sure to receive the applause and the favor 61 the wets, in and out of office.

Today's Talk: By R. S.Copeland, f. D. Dr. Copeiands Health Topic. Ten should not neglect a eoli. Every persistent cold is a ateaaee tp Ute.

Neglectlag a cold la Its rlrtt stage and too many do this foolish . thing often results n some really sertoas condttton. It the cold persists after the usual few days, stringent methods must he taken eo that It will not de velop into one ot the more serious trouble influenza, sinus trouoie. penumohia, and even tuberculosis. Unfortunately, colds are to com mon that they are not taken seri ousiy. Many persons think they are so little Importance. The mat ter of colds Is really ot such hn- nortaace to nubile health thai, a widespread study ot their Origin and combative treatment Is now being made. All sorts of colds of the fntta- ensa type are highly Infectious and readily passed from one person te another. These usually yield to proper methods of treatment Quickly. Treatment must be taken in time. The warmth and quiet ness of bed Is the very, best meth od to pursue. The bvdy is then kept at an even temperature and rest enables the body to recuper ate more quickly. Keep other persons .from the room. In this way you protect the members of your family and friends from "catching" your cold. A neglected cold often develops lato trouble of the sinus cavities. There is an almost continuous nasal discharge, sometimes thlok and other times just a watery discharge. This may very often be relieved by applying a 10 per cent eola tion of argyrol to the nasal pas sage. Take a wooden toothplek and twist about it .layers ot cot ton, making a tampan about the sise and length of a cigarette. Let the cotton project a quarter "of an inch over the end of the stick to guard the point and to prevent wounding the tissues of the nose. This is dipped- Into the argyrol and passed far up into the nose, where it is left for half an hour. It this is done daily it will us ually relieve the symptoms la a short time. If the condition does not grow better, or If it is Pain ful, skilled medioal care ia need ed. Where there i s deafness or a discharge from the ears then ear treatments are Indicated. Often there te a nasty cough.' a tickling of the throat, or a con striction across the chest, after the acute stages et the cold are past. 8uch symptoms i must be carefully looked into by your doc tor. It the trouble persists the chest should be examined and also the sputum. This is the way tuber culosis begins. I am saying this not to frighten you, but to urge you to see a doctor if your cold and cough persist. A cold indicates that you are in a run-down condition. You need to overcome the underlying cause. If you can get away to a hew at mosphere for a few days, a change into the country or the seashore, where you can have fresh air and sunshine, this will do more good than all the medicine in the world. If you can't afford this luxury, sit out ia the park, warmly cloth ed, and there will be all the fresh air and sunshine that you need. Answer to HeaMt Queries F.D. Q.

Hendricks with satisfaction upon the vol ume of crime. ... It Is the most serious issue before our people. 1. The books has 1035 pages, be sides its preface and a long In troduction, covering 50 pages. No previous publication , ot the kind is so complete. In the body ot the introduction the following paragraphs appear words that -should make Oregon proud or herself: "If there is any one thing Upon which there is general agreement today in regard to prisons it is that prisoners should worjc and that their work should be so organised and di rected as to pay for their main tenance, develop habits ot indus try and give some training for earning an honest living after re lease from prison. There has been an increasing recognition dur ing recent years that as a means to these ends a wage system should be developed to help care for any dependents and to pro vide adequate funds for prison ers on discharge. W t "Idleness in prison is an inde fensible condition under any theory of penology. For those be lated minds who cling fast to the theory of labor as aggra d t fdleneea boris mckery' Tothose wtfo hold the economic View of a prison paying its own way, Idle ness means failure. To those who believe the primary purpose of imprisonment to be social rehab ilitation by means ot Industrial training and habits of industry, idleness means futility. Without work every constructive measure in eTry department of the prison is thwarted if not doomed to de feat, for idleness is an insur mountable barrier to the accom plishment of any sane purpose of . imprisonment. The likelihood of a great Increase in idleness and the general problems of In dustries are the most serious of the many problems in the prison situation of the country today. Prison officials, both boards of control and wardens, recognize the seriousness of the situation and the grave dangers of the next few years. Governors of many states are also awake to the need of action." V So much tor that. But how are they going to act? What can they do? Quoting a few sentences along, the Introductory article says: "There are comparatively few states in the country in which the question of prison in dustries does not call for most careful consideration In the immediate fuUire." Indeed, there are few euch states. And there la not one so fortunately situated as Oregon? Why? Because there Is no other state in which non competitive industries can be carried on based oa raw materials produced so near the prison; and only one other state (Washington) ia which its prison might be so lo cated. Under the heading, "Industrie! and Idleness," the introductory article being quoted says: "The effects of overcrowding are no ticeable in every department, but probably In not other is the ef fect more serious than In indus tries. In many insinuations the industries were entirely inade quate tor even the smaller population, and the Increase of recent years has meant a corres ponding increase In idleness. Many institutions try to dis tribute the work as far as pos sible by assigning to every detaU a large number of men in ex cess of the particular need. This of course does not Increase the efficiency of work but does cut down the number of men ' who are completely-idle. (There is no idleness at the Oregon prison, nor will there ever be, it the present program is never changed), m "la the prisons of many states, however, there is a considerable number ot men TO WHOM IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GIVE ANY WORK. This number varies from a few hundred to 1000 or more, and In Columbus, Ohio', it la sometimes . approximately :t 0 0 1. The tendency in former years on the part of official to cover their problem of Idleness hat largely disappeared and by every possible- means they are now eaillag it to the attention of people ia their states. In Jackson, Mich., for Instance, the number of Idle men is Posted a the bulletin board Where It may be seen by evaryvfie visiting the Institutions; H ta also given to the press et the state and printed In the . prison pubUcatiens, v-:-v.- ' V- V xv t OfHelale realize probably bet ter thaa anyone else can the de moralizing effects "of idleness on th inmates not only during their term of Imprisonment, but after thetr release. There Is certainty ae mora prming problem ls votod la the peaal system ef the states than the working out of a eaUsfaetory system of ladus txtes. . w V :M, -i..v , in the beginning of the prison indtstrie In the Oregon prison, after the old contract system was abandon fid, -one ot the ' mata fdeaa wa to merely find same thing for the tumatis ta do and the more of them required to por form a tiuatl takt the better it I ! I was considered. But that time is past, and will not return. Mass production Is as important there as on the outside, aad this will be the case even when the prison has twice its present population. .. a There is only -one penitentiary ia the United States that is both self supporting and that pays a daUv ware to SI I workers. That t is the one at Stillwater. Mlnn- hesota. The revolving fund law mat governs tne inauscnes or me Oregon penitentiary was copied from the Minnesota law, to the letter, so far as was possible under the differing constitutional provisions of the two states. But the Minnesota prison must buy Its raw materials abroad, while Oregon has Or -produces them at home. Does any readOr realise how near to thO point ot self support the Oregon penitentiary has arrived? Under head ot "Cost," fn the book being reviewed, re ferring to the Oregon prison, the following figures appear: "Gross cost for the btenntal period end ing 10. 1, IS, $371.15t.00. Earn ings. fXsl.SOS.Ol. Net Cost, $79r S4S.9S." S m That Is, thb institution was within $70,249.99 ot being self supporting for the two "year period Up t October 1, i928. It was no dottbt nearer than that for the past two years. But large outlays have been made for capital Investments, and there has been an accumulation of funds for paying tbe-farmeaa for their flax crop. This will have to go on, for some time for it eoon take more than a million and a half dollars annaally to pay the farmers for their flax. Then, forever and. a day, the prison will be self supporting", as the one at Stillwater has been since 1902. s This review will be continued tomorrow). Editorial Comment From Other Papers CORBETT FOR GOVERXOR Henry L. Corbett, seems to us to best fit the needs of the state of Oregon as Its executive head and while we have been very slow in announcing our support of any one of the six republicans seeking the gubernatorial office, yet this has been because we did not wish to make any mistake. We have studied the various candidates as fully as possible and after analy zing their qualifications, charac ter, records, achievement, and per sonal habits, we find Mr. Corbett more nearly our ideal of what a governor should be than are any of the others. Mr. Corbett has a background of hardy pioneer stock and a her itage of successful progenitors. If there is anything in heredity, and wo believe that there is, then Mr. Corbett has aa advantage In this respect. Mr. Corbett has a record of hit own, however, and does not rely Unco in hskiag the people of Ore gon to elect him as governor. He has served in the state senate and was president of that body during one terms. In all of his legisla tive career he has been careful and conscientious and votes have been cast on the right stde in practlcaHy every Important mat ter. There Is nothing of bombast or egotism about Mr. Corbett but in spite of his position and his suc cesses, he Impresses people as be ing one of themselves and as hav ing their Interests very much at heart. it Is refreshing to have a man of this type seek public office, for too often the professional politi cian Is that other type which when elected fails to recognise his common friends, until election time comes along again. Politics demand that not only shall a man .be qualified and of the right soft to be nominated for office by his party, but he must hare some chance of election. In Mr. Corbett we rind this very de sirable requisite also. He comes from Multnomah County, the cen ter of the state's population and will if nominated receive the al most solid support ef hi Urge home community to which may safely be added practically all of the Willamette valley regardless ot whom the opposition select. At the present time three ef the six republican candidates, have some ehaace a receiving the nam inatloe, These three are Governor Norblad of Astoria, George W. Jo seph of Portland and Senator Corbett. We hare already given our opinion regarding Mr. Joseph, whose candidacy we believe to be animated almost solely by a desire tor revenge ' an tmdietlveness. Governor Norblad Is not th tvna ot man where we would ever choose tor govenfbr. He is too much on the hair trigger. This was shown when he announced himself as a candidate to succeed nunseir aerora the Ute Governor Patterson's body had hardly be come Cold, tt has been shewn time aad again since la altuatlsnn wbta have arisen aad has resulted la his betog in hot water over ap pointments and over the handling of state affairs almost all of the time. His eworkers are not the type whom we should lika tn ih la any way connected with the state's control either and much of his support seems la he eominr from that element of fee state which has always been associated with the sportinif World and the less strict moral dementi," WO believe thai Vot a at- Senator Corbett for governor will M oae east ta the best Interests ox tne republican party;: in the nest interests of the common peo ple and the good of the state and ' la the best : Interests ut a good moral government N ewbere Graphic. v ,
