Lowest Prices in Pendleton on Xmas Gifts for Men, Women and Children Useful Presents Please the Most THE day of frivolous knick-knacks has passed and gone. Their lack of usefulness made them extravagant to the giver and they never l.roupht any REAL PLEASURE to the receiver. An Overcoat, a Suit, a Mackinaw, Shoes, Slippers Gloves, Shirt, Hosiery, Hate, Caps, Suit Caw, Ties, or any article such as we carry that tends to add to the "dressed-up' appearance and comfort of its lucky receiver carries with it real pleasure and happiness, because it reflects a true compliment from the giver. It is a pi ft of high rccrard and is appreciated by the recipient for days and months after Christmas day. Your esteem for, and estimation of, the receiver's character, is conveyed more plainly than words in the char acter of the gift you give. ' MAKE IT A USEFUL PRESENT IT WILL PLEASE THE MOST.

A John Multifield. For many years there has been criticism here because local loans are taxed whereas an out Unjust to side concern may lend Local Men. money here and be ex empted from taxation. Mr. Strain has frequently been criti cised for asseslng notes and accounts yet he has had no alternative under! his oath as an official. The proposed amendment endorsed by the Farmers Union convention, points a way to relief from this situ ation. It will give the legislature pow er to adjust the matter equitably and i; there is nny good reason why such an amendment should not be adopted this newspaper would like to hear It. The present arrangement penalizes the local man with money to lend and virtually drives him from the com munity. Pendleton may well Join in trying to better the situation. Hitting the Jingo drum with great ferocity a Portland paper shrieks that this country Is steeped in Misguided provincialism because It Hysteria. does not maintain a big army and the country is Id deadly peril accordingly, etc., etc A hot bath is the best treatment for such nervousness. There Is no cause for so much shuddering and it is becoming a bore. It Is wholly true our land force Is weak but there Is nothing to show we would be any safer from war If we had a monster army. It is significant that the na tion having the largest and most high ly perfected war machine In the world is now in the saddest plight of all and there is good reason to believe that plight Is due not to the fact the nation was unprepared but was too well prepared. If the Oerman ,army had not been so efficient there would have been no war and more than a million brave Teutons now in their graves would still be with their loved ones. It is true we need to spruce up In tome respects and the administration is alive to the fact. But why exag gerate the situation and try to get the country into hysteria over noth ing. If the war continues a few months longer at the rate it has been going the big European nations will be so exhausted they will trouble no one, particularly a distant and neu tral nation like this. Nor will Japan bother us. if for no other reason than because our navy Is greatly superior to the Japanese navy. Hut there is one great step that may be taken towards improving our military efficiency and that consists In withdrawing as soon as we con sistently can from the Philippines. The present administration favors this move and a measure looking to that goal is now before the senate with the president's endorsement. Those who are not mere Jingoes but really give thought to the question of safety from war will support this measure. Why don't the blatherskite papers like the Oregonian say some thing In behalf of Philippine Independence. Louis D. Branded said the railroads could save a million dollars a day by using more efficient Raving on methods of oper- Life Insurance, at Ion; the roads said no. . I have never heard that he made any estimate of the potable saving on life Insurance among the people who take small policies and pay for them In weekly Installments in case the costly system of collection were eliminated. But he was one who worked for the establishment In Mas sachusetts of saving bank Insurance where the policy buyer goes to a savings bank for his policy and makes his payments over its counter. The other day Mr. Hrandcls made an estimate of the Indirect saving of small policy holders, not only In Mas, sachusetts, but throughout the coun try, because of the establishment of these savings bank Insurance branch es. These state backed small policlei are sold by the savings bunk at a cost of about 17 per cent less than when bought from the big private stock companies. Besides, "divi dends" (which in the last five years have risen from 8 1-J per cent to 20 per cent are credited on the poli cies. So a big direct saving has been made to those who took insurance In this way. Ptin, the total of the savings bunk policies sold is very small, compared to the total business of this sort done the total Is some $116,000,000 a year In tho United States.. But be cause of the competition of the Mas sachusetts saving bank insurance branches the big private companies have been induced to reduce their rates and devise new and less ex pensive collecting and accounting methods, tiald Mr. Brandeis of the result: "The Improvements made by the private industrial Insurance compa nies as a result of the Massachusetts plan have, of course, been extended throughout the United States. When it Is remembered that the aggregate premium Income of the Industrial policies is. now about $115,000,000 a year, it sertns clear that the Industri al policy holders today are buying their Insurance for at least $20,000, 000 a year less than they would have had to pay had the rates prevailing prior to September, 1904, remained In force." Here's a thrift agency worth devel oping. Chicago News. What may be termed the scholarly brigade is desperately fond of berat ing the newspapers Sensationalism, for alleged short coming and the pet charge is that the modern newspnper resorts too much to sensationalism. The charge Is largely made In Ignor ance for It Is a fact the average re putable journal exercises more care upon this subject than the people suppose. One-newspaper that has just shown itself superior to a college oruanlza' tii.n upon this point is the Boston Post, probably the largest paper of New England. The story in question Involved a young woman and the Post suppressed the story as unfit to print Yet the story was published by the Harvard Monthly, If our collegiate authorities wish to point the way to decent Journalism they should practice what they preach That English naval victory In the south seas will help clear the path ot commerce but there is evidently a German or two off the west coast of Chile. The kaiser is said to be a sick man but his army In Poland seems to be possessed of lots of "pep." Shop early and do your buying at home. FROM THE PEOPLE OBJECTS TO PORTLAND CONTROL Rep. Allen Eaton Says Ho Is Not Given Fair Hearing'. Portland, Ore., Dec. 8, 1914. To the Editor of the East Oregonian: I am a candidate for speaker of the house of representatives of the Ore gon legislative assembly. The Ore gonian newspaper has a candidate in the person of Mr. Ben Selling of Portland. Through the Influence and demand of the editor of the Oregonian Mr. Selling procured the nomination by a bare majority of the Multno mah delegation. I had supposed that the speaker ship was of state wide concern, but here it seems to be considered as prerogative of Portland, or worse, ol a small land of Portland interests. That this Is true Is evidenced by the tact that I have not been able to have puMlfched in the, Portland oapera m side ft the controversy They havo refufed to print my irtlcles In rrv own behalf, the substa-.ee of which 1 enclose you for your perusal. It appears, therefore, that Port land, or more accurately, tho few who assume to speak for her, are not sat isfied to have procured at the last session the presiding officers of both houses and the chairmanships of the ways and means committee of both house the committees which con trol the ijrpendltures of the money of the peoplo of the whole state not satisfied to have three-fifths of the representation In congress of tho state of Oregon, but are still deter mined to dominate the legislature :hrough its officers and principal committee. The fruit of this control Is seen In the record of expenditures of the Inst legislature the most extravagant in the history of the state. I think the rest of the state Is en titled to participate In its own legis lature tn equal terms with the me tropolis. The forces behind Mr. Sell ing do noc Intend to permit this If they can help It, or pormlt any par ticipation except in subordination to their dictation. I am writing this to the press out side of Portland, In the belief thnt there can still be found outside of Portland a free and fair press the closest to the plain people who whether on one side or the other of any stete-wlde public question, are willing to give every side a ' fair hearing. I ask this with the more assurance since the Oregonian not only closed Its columns to me, but makes the false claim that Mr. Sell ing has already more than enough votes to elect him. It la not true that he has o majority of the house pledg. ed to him, nor have I such a majority, There are members unpledged, who will doubtless consider the situation and vote as their conscience dictates. I am trying to have them vote under standingly, uninfluenced by false rep resentations. I am not asking your support, though I would be grateful for It, but only that you shall Inform your mem. her and your subscribers, through your columns, of my claims by print ing this letter ot the purport of It And you can be assured that with a faithful and loyal support behind me, this fight will not be over until It Is over In the house. This Is my fifth successive term in the house, and I submit that the ex perience so gained Is some evidence of my qualifications for the office. Tours sincerely, ALLEN EATON.

Names lYorn Tribal Tongui are Wanted for Nrwljr MnprMtl Arta. Umpqua Indian words are wanted by the department of history of tho University of Oregon. Eugene. An extensive orea in tho Umpqun national forest is being mapped by the forestry service headquarters at Boseburg, and the forestry men want suitable names for the physical fea tures of the region.
