satlsfaction over the pay offered
by the Linn county ccurt to mem
bers of the crew who are clearing
th right-of-way of the Santlam
highway at Upper Soda is being
expressed by some of the work
men. Likewise other persons are
commenting on the matter, with
the result that it has become an
absorbing tojic with many per
sons. Some of the workers who have
gone into the camp and have
come out assert that after deduc
tions are made for board and for
Insurance, less than $1 a day is
len ror their ramiiies. This com
putation is based on the assump
tion that the county Is chareine
$1 for board.
The members of the pnnrt nnlnt
out that they are not chareinr SI
for board, but are famishing the
ooara at cost, ir the cost price ex
ceeds il a day the county will
absorb the excess. Tn 11 flrnra
was given out as a maximum. If
the food costs less the workman
will be given the benefit of the
difference.
County Judge Woodworth esti
mates that the actual cost may be
about 80 cents a day. The county
is keeping accurate figures on the
cost item and will be able to tell
after some experience, what the
actual cost Is.
Members of the court point out
too that the Upper Soda camp is
the only one that gives the work
ers continuous employment. They
say that the highway commission
pays S3 a day to itn men, but
that it elves each Individual nnlv
one week's work each month. Linn
county, they conclude. Is doing
mucn netter by its unemployed
than the state.
On account of the issue the
county is not finding it as easy
to maintain a maximum force as it
expected,. Recently the court sent
out a call for 15 workers to re
port at the courthouse, and only
three responded.

Hon. B. F. Irvine, editor of the
Portland Journal, member of the
state board of higher education,
addressed the chamber of com?
merce Monday noon on "Disarm
ament and World Peace". After
recounting briefly the .troubles In
which the nations find themselves
at the present time he said it was
due In large part to the belated
price we are paying for the
World war. "You can't burn np
three hundred billions worth of
property and blow ten million
men to bits without catastrophe."
He quoted Frank B. Kellogg:
"Western civilization cannot sur
vive another such war but will
go down Into universal chaos."
The people, the common people,
he declared pay the costs of wars.
He pictured the "frightful cer
tainty of what the next war will
be murder." He described new
gases, new weapons which were
being evolved for coming con
flict and threw out the question:
"Is it civilization or jungle life
and the Jungle code?" While not
a pacifist and one who believed
In preparedness Irvine declared
himself strongly In favor of
united action at the coming Gene
va conference for disarmament.
His plea was for leadership by the
American delegation to secure re
duction. Mr. Irvine was Introduced by
Rufus C. Holman, state treasurer.
Acting Governor Wlllard Marks
was a guest at the luncheon.

GREW up with tobacco. Mostly
cigarettes now but I've smoked
cigars, and pipes, too. And I never got anything
but good from tobacco in any form pipe, cigar,
or cigarette and that goes for every smoker I
ever heard about.
"Why, I remember as a boy, way back, how
the old folks in the fall used to pick and cure
tobacco from a little patch
they'd raised, and save out
the best for their own smok
ing. And my father fought
all through the war, and
lived to be ninety.
"He'd certainly appre
