Trie Way It Works WE have been noticing in the papers the launching of the industrial reform legislation which Pres. Roose velt sponsored. It is in brief an attempt at "planned econ omy", with the industries doing most of the planning and the government theoretically acting as arbiter. There is con siderable to be said in favor of the scheme. Competition has been excessive and price-cutting has made most every business lose money. On the other hand the tendency of trade groups is generally to gouge the public. Prices have to be raised to a point where even the inefficient plant will show a profit, or the plant kicks out and starts a price war. Also competition has long been the prod which forced lm provements and economies and did away with dead timber in managerial staffs. So there is much to be said on both sides of the question; and we have preferred to watch de velopments rather than rush in with decisive opinions on the subject Now we have had an opportunity to see how the scheme works, for the paper dealers have been among the first to get under cover. Take book paper, which is the first baby to be let out of the incubator. According to the story which is being relayed to printers through the wholesale houses, the country has been zoned off. "All Gaul is divided into three parts'', you remember. Anyway the U. S. A. is par celed out among the book paper mills, and price and trade agreements have been made. Prevailing prices have been 7VjC per lb. in ream lots; 6V-c a lb. in bundle lots of three reams; 6c a lb. in ton lots. To get quantity prices it was permissible to sort up different sizes and weights of paper. Under the new dispensation the ream price is to be 9c per lb. for ream lots; no bundle price; but 7V-c per lb for cases of 600 lbs. (formerly a case was 500 lbs.). The next step down in price is for four cases, and few print- shops order that quantity at a time. The real ketch in the deal is this: the printer can't sort up an order to get a quantity price. A case must be of one grade and one size and weight. This means that whereas printers have been ordering in bundle lots and getting a 64c price, now they will be ordering in ream lots at 9y2c per lb The wholesalers tell us, "the government is doing this". So that is the way the new deal hits the printer in the face The first thought is to pass the increase along to the consumer; and goodness knows, the printers are so near broke they can't carry the increase. But here is the joker in Yesterdays ... Of Old Salem Town Talks from The States man of Earlier Days Jane 10, 1008 Democratic state convention at Portland endorses candidacy of William J.

HENDRICKS McLoughlln picture title again: U Carey F. Martin, of Salem, sev eral days ago, wrote this letter. addressed to the Bits man: S ". S "I have been interested in your criticism of the wording descrip tive of the painting of Dr. John McLoughlln in the senate cham ber of our state house. The ques tion ot a proper description or legend to be placed under this painting was seriously discussed by the writer and others nearly 40 years ago, end the language used in the brief description was chosen with care. S W 'Nearly 40 years ago I was em ployed as private secretary of Honorable Harrison R. Kincaid, then secretary of state in charge of the Btate house and custodian of the various properties ot the state of Oregon, Including the paintings of governors in the sen ate chamber and hall of represen tatives in our state house. At that time the paintings of the different governors op to that date were without any description whatever attached to them, not even the name of the person whom the painting was supposed to portray, Each day when I would be show ing some person about the state honse It would become necessary for me to explain to visitors the name of each person represented by these paintings and the ap proximate date when each served as governor of Oregon, state or Oregon territory, and each time it was necessary to explain that Dr. McLoughlln as the agent ot Hudson Bay company was really the first person to act as governor of Oregon and was by courtesy called governor. To avoid this constant repetition of explana tions to the public, I secured per mission from the secretary of state and enlisted his cooperation in preparing the legends which now are attached to all the paint ings of the former governors of the state of Oregon, Including the legend under the painting of Dr McLoughlln. "Dr. McLoughlln came to Ore gon at least as early as 1823 and by courtesy was called governor until the election of the first ex ecutive committee. You will re call that in the year, 1843, 'by vote of the people of Wallamet TELLING OF RUNNING HONEYMOON O ' o 1 V'-1'" n j?-:-:-;-i-;-,v.-Jw.v A. J 1 . i Located near New Tork after 18 months of will-o'-the-wisp hidinx, Russell T. Sherwood, the mystery man of the Seabnry investigation. Is pictured with his bride at he told rspoiters of their fnrkiM hAnmnam. Sherwood denied that any money he handled for -ex-Mayor -Walker was 1 vallety,' David Hill, Alanson Beers and Joseph Gale were elect ed as the first executive commit tee to exercise executive powers in Oregon, and for all practical purposes it can be truthfully said that Dr. McLoughlln was by cour tesy called governor up to that time. The second executive com mittee was elected in 1844 and served until Governor Abernathy became governor of the provision al government in 184S. As to your criticism of our statement that he was an 'honored pioneer and earliest settler in the terrl tory of Oregon,' I beg to take ex ception. He founded the town of Vancouver, in Washington, and the town of Oregon City in Ore gon, and was the first white man to attempt to convert the wilder ness into a habitation for the white man. He first brought wheat, oats, barley, corn, potatoes and tame grass seeds to Oregon, He was the first importer of cat tle and domestic animals and was in truth of earliest 'settler.' The portrait concerning which the legend is in question was pre sented to tbe state ot Oregon by the Oregon Pioneer association on February 5, 1889. Honorable John Minto, grandfather of Sa lem's now young lawyer, John Minto III, made the presentation address, and Governor Sylvester Pennoyer accepted the portrait for the state. S S During the term ot office of Honorable Harrison R. Kincaid j as secretary of state, 1894-1898, the writer of these lines by direc tion of Mr. Kincaid and assisted by Miss Ella Hodson compiled a 250 page appendix for the bienni al report of the secretary of state. in which will be found a complete list ot every person connected with the stste government of Ore gon in any important official ca pacity from the earliest period down to the date of such publica tion, the names ot the officers ar ranged in tabular form with the dates of their service and office held by each, together with biog raphies of the governors and chief officers ot the state of Oregon from beginning of government down to that time. This official publication consisted of 250 pages and is designated as 'Political and Official History and Register of Oregon.' and Is tbe forerunner for first attempted Blue Book published in the state of Oregon. At page ICS of this appendix to the secretary's 'Biennial report,' for the years. 1897-1898, will be found a brief biography ot Dr. John McLoughlln, and under his name we have designated him as 'Honored Pioneer and Earliest Settler in the Territory of Ore gon.' "The designation under the portrait is intended to convey to the public the fact as to the cor rect dates between which Dr. Mc Loughlln exercised, by courtesy. the aqthority of governor and is not intended to convey to the pub lie the idea that he did not live in or remain in Oregon after 1843, or that he may not also have been here prior to 1823. "This appendix to the secretary of state's report was first publish ed in 1897. but was greatly en larged, corrected and re-published January 1, 1899. "Many of the biographies in this volume were written either personally by the then surviving ex-governors or from memoran dum given by them personally or from members ot their families. I personally recall that Governor Wbiteaker, the first state gover nor of Oregon, wrote out in long hand with Indelible pencil his bi ography, and I stni have the orig inal document. The same Is true of the biography of Judge George H. Williams, United States sen ator from Oregon. 185-1871. , "The . jleslrnAtlon St legends WHAT HAS HAPPENED SO FAR. tvtvalv Toan Hastings lives a se cluded life with her two stern, old aunts, Bvrie and Babe Van Fleet, ia Sansalito, California, sne xaus in love with Bill Martin, young mechanic.

Joan set tles ia San Francisco unknown to her aunts. She boards with good natured Mrs. Maisie Kimmer and works in a department store. BilL ia the meantime, is befriended by Rollo Keres. wealthy playboy. Rollo's father, believing Bill may have a good influence on his son, gives him a position where he learns snrvcTinar. He does not try to get in touch with Joan as he wants to be a success before he goes to her.

She was terribly afraid she would leave her. When Joan shrank from tha oneer. well-dressed men with thick necks, and sagging jowls who sat in corners and leered while wives or cousins or nieces or wards bought dresses, Francine was right there with a reassuring nod. "Don't pay any attention silly I They won't hurt you "But thev look at me so" "Nonsense, Joan don't be silly, You're such a child 1" It wss a strange, new world that was unfolding before Joan's sadly disillusioned eyes. A cruel world, a rotten world, a world that she had never dreamed existed when she lived in the clean, salty air across the bay. "You're Just growing up getting on to things, that aill" rancine said, reading her mind. And because Bill had failed her, and all her old dreams and hopes were swept away she thought x ran cine must be risfnt. "Go oat with the girls once la a while don't be a orurl" Maud Murphy spoke to her, too, "Now listen. Anrel-face you're coing to get yourself disliked around here if you dont stop high- hatting the girls "I oWt hizh-hat them1 "Yon dot Now you can be Just as rood as you want to be and take it from lir Maudie, it pays. But don't slick np your nose because some of the girls have more lib eral Ideas than you, little goody sroody ' Goody-goody. Joan got to hate the word. She didn't want to be a goody-goody, and she dldnt want to be hke the girls either. She tried to make friends with them though tried desperately, and failed. When Maudie pulled her black satin skirt above her fat knees and did the hula-hula for them, all crowded together, and shrieking with laugh ter in one of the little panelled dressing rooms, Joaa tried to laugh too. but it always stuck in her throat. Maudie was vulgar- coarse and fat and vulgar there wasa t any other name for it. Aad Aline, the chief assistant to Madame, who was cryptically known as Hogaa, gossiped bitterly about Anna, the other model, with the round black eyes, and the sleek wings of black hair low over her cheeks, hat even Joan anew sne en vied her. Only Marguerite Sanderson, working to support a tubercular exr soldier nuaband, waa different, and nobody minded if she was standof fish they caued her -poor Marg uerite'' and planned surprise boxes for her dying; boy. She had an ex cuse for keeping to herself she had a tragedy to live witn "Marguerite's a saint!" Maud said. . . "Marguerite's a saint" ana sne "Far the last time. Hastings, will yon come np to my apartment after liaea me Kiru, uu j - dinner?" Maud asked. "I swear this ia the It time 111 ask voul" Francine heard, bhe came ana netted Joan's shoulder. "Yes, go with the girls, dearie. I'm going to run op to Mama s myseli tomgnt Til tell her where tou are." Joan gulped. "All right. And thanks. Maudie I d really like to cornel Well, let's start." Anna said. snuggling into her squirrel coat, and adjusting her wrist watcn over her clove. Marguerite Sanderson wouldn't come with them, she wanted to go out to the hospital and see ner Hus band instead. "Pitv she wouldn t send him out to the Veterans' Hospital at Liver more or Palo Alto or somewhere," Hogan sniffed. "Then she wouldn't have to be running to see him every night, and it would be better for him anyway. Tnis town is no piace for a man with T. U. "But he isn't roinr to ret better, so what's the diff?" inquired practi cal Maudie. Well, Murphy I About two nun dred dollars a month difference Why sacrifice yourself for a man that is going to die anyway? Pretty soon all shell have for her trouble will be a lot of gray hairs and a tombstone " Maudie Murphy chuckled. "Most of us never have a tombstone for a souvenir I" She patted her brassy curls tenderly. "AU I ever had was the gray hairs to remember my true love bv " They all laughed at that, all but Joan. She didnt laugh. Like Maudie she had nothing to mourn, nothing to remember her love by. Not even a photograph or a let ter. . . . "The regular dinner?" a waiter was asking. They were at the little Italian restaurant already, and Joan's thoughts so far away. . . "Regular nothingl" Maudie boomed. "What do yon take us for, hicks? Just because five lone women" "Oh. go on and order and don't talk so much I" Hogan cut in. Sev eral diners were turning to look at them, Maudie talked so loud. The orchestra struck up. Two or three couples rose and began to dance in the center of the room. Someone was wavinsr at Anna, a little man with shell-rimmed glasses and a bald head. "Call him over here he's got two others with aim!" Aline whispered, but Anna wouldn't. She gilded over to his table, smilinsr Tamely. "This is the last time I go any where with hern Hogan snorted. "The same thing every time. I'm sick of it. Do you think she'd intro duce him? No not her. That was Arlia Savenaki, the tobacco man. Worth a mint. The selfish pig! Maudie and Aline melted away while Hoean was talking. They were dancing too. Hogan's hatchet face under her girlish purple hat was red and angry. And then a young boy came and stood beside them. "Dancing?" he asked SHuUnsT. Joaa looked dowa at her piste, terribly embarrassed. When she looked op agaia Hogaa had gone away with him. She was laughing op at him as she danced. After a long time Hogaa came back with the boy. They sat with their heads close toeetner. im talked in whispers. Hours passed surely it was midnight! But whei the waiter brought the check ani Joan paid it and slipped out of th door ft was only half past eight! Next day even Maudie was cool "Gave us the slip, eh? WelL it'i your affair, but you're not much of a sport. Hastings i" Joan s attempt to fraternize with "the girls" was a total failure. Discouraged I " rrancine asked the next morning, finding her left out of the chattering group in the coat room. "Yea!" Joan burst out suddenly. She had been gathering courage for this all day. "Francine, I wasn't made to model dresses. It isn't enough. Maybe I could have done it if if I had something someone you know something big to think about between times. But I haven't. I'm going to leave, Francine, and " "Leave I" "Yes oh. not because of the eirls Just because of myself that's all. I just saw, all of a sudden that I could if I tried real hard do something with my life "With your looxs you should," Francine said dryly. "You wilL Now you take my advice and " Joan wrung her hands. How could she make Francine see? "No man is going to wreck my life!" Maudie had said, bne nad been thinking about that. Maudie was right. Her way of fighting failure wouldn't be Joan's way, but Maud. le's fighting spirit was right. And she, Joan, would fight too . . . fight her way back . . . forget Bill . . . build a new life, without any Bill. . . . "But what do you want to do?" Francine was asking for the third time. "Oh, Joan, you little idiot, don't give it all up! You've got a sense of color and line. Youll make a saleswoman a real one like me IU teach yon the business you'll just model for special customers Ill make something of you " "That's just what I do want! 1 want to learn everything study I thought I'd go to night school, there's a designing course " "All right,7 Francine said. "All when she saw Anna, regal in the wedding gown she had been wont to wear, when she knew that even that make-believe was over, a lump rose in her throat, she groped her way back to a fitting room and cried. Cried because this was the end the end of her mourning for BilL Maisie didn't understand aTJ the studying. Never a night but what Joan had her nose in a book. She was always fussing with water col ors, or sketching little figures with very small heads, and very long legs. "They're really out of proportion, but it's the way you're supposed to draw them for fashion sheets." "Fanny never went at it that way," Maisie said, looking at them with polite china blue eyes. "Fanny went to work as an apprentice for old lady Schwartz, that had a fine trade on Fillmore Street, charged $18 a dress she did that was high in those days. For three months Fanny never did a thing but linings I wish you could have seen her poor fingers, all needle-pricked " But Joaa did seem a different girL Her color was coming back. Sometimes she whistled as she worked. Work! She fairly wallowed ia it! Up so early ia the morning, to be the first one in the shop. She could learn so much from Francine, before customers came.
