tria did not want Italy to enter
trip war aeainst them and that
those nations have left nothing
undone to keeD Italv Dacmed
As to the moral aspect of
Italv's nlunee into the war
opinions will differ. Prior to
the war Italy was the ally of
Germany and Austria, pledged
to aid those nations if they
should be attacked. When the
war broke Italv refused to join
forces with Germany and Aus
tria on the plea Germany was
not attacked, but was the ag
gressor in the fight. Instead of
fighting side by side with her
former partners Italy now turns
her guns against them. In the
German-Austrian view this is
an act of base treachery: to the
allies and their suDDorters way
of thinking Italy is doing abso
lutely nght and manifests con
science and couraee of high or
der. In war the heroic work
for country, king and God is
always by those who slay in be
half of the cause you support.
Those who slay for the other
side whoever they may be are
miserable wretches without
honor or the first instincts of
decency.
THE PORTLAND CUCKOO
TREACHEROUS AND SUBLIME
-r TALY'S entrance into the
II war is a decided asset to
the allies. Italy has a pop
ulation of thirty five millions;
an army of something like one
million men and a navy that
will be of considerable conse
quence in this struggle. If
dreadnaughts ordered for com
pletion by this time are now in
ru'rvice Italy has 10 warships of
that class with a total naval
utrenjrth of something like
450,000 tons.
So from the standpoint of
those who think the world's
Mtfety requires the crushing of
Gorman militarism there may
veil be joy over the new re
cruit for the allies. It has been
1 lain that Germany and Aus-j
1A ORTLANDERS are soon to
23 vote upon whether or not
that city shall follow the
lead of Pendleton and other
progressive towns in providing
meters for all waterusers ana
charging patrons in accordance
with the amount of water they
use.
The meter plan is the only
sane, businesslike manner of
adjusting water charges and it
is inevitable Portland will ad
opt the plan, now or at some
time in the future.
But as usual the Oregonian
opposes this improvement with
much vehemence. If meters
are installed all the "heavy wa
terusers in Portland will have
to pay what they should for
water and it may be possible
to lower rates to the ordinary
user. Therefore the plan is
social Lstic. Anything is social
istic that aims to set up justice
instead of special favors to a
few.
But five, 10 or 15 years from
now when the meter plan is in
full use in Portland the Ore
gonian will be strong for
meters. It is for a reform after
it has found that sarcasm, ridi
cule and misrepresentation
could not prevent its adoption.
It does not believe the old
guard should die but never
surrender. It prefers to sur
render and keep Its fingers
crossed. That is the sort of a
cuckoo the Oregonian is and
it is a bird not to be 'trusted
very far unless you want to lose
something.
NOT WEuTdISTRIBUTED
HE estimated wealth of
Ojv the country increased
from $43,642,000,000 in
1880 to $88,517,000,000 in
1900, or by a trifle over 100 per
cent in 20 years. The Census
Bureau now gives out an esti
mate of $187,739,000,000 as of
1912, which shows an increase
of 112 per cent in only a dozen
years.
Relatively to population, the
nation's increase in wealth is
even more striking. It amount
ed to S870 Der capita in 1880
and to $1,165 in 1900, or an
increase of 33 pei- cent in
twenty years. It now (1912)
amnnnti to S1.965. or an in
crease in twenty years of 70
ner cent. This is a rate which
would much more than double
the per capita wealth in twen
ty years, instead of by only a
third. New York World.
But the figures indicate noth
ing because they do not show
distribution. It profits little to
the nation if its wealth increas
es when the increased wealth
goes to those who do not need
it and not to those who are in
want. While the total wealth
is much greater now than in
1880 it is a srave question n
the country was not in a more
wholesome condition then. It
is better to have a lot of peo-
nle in moderate circumstances
than to have a few people im
mensely wealthy and the re
mainder extremely poor.
THE BUSINESS SITUATION
YVlERE it not for the ray
ages of the European
war, the United States
would certainly be experienc
ing decided business improve
ment. Home conditions are un
questionably more satisfactory
than they have been for many
months. Our banking situation
is sound, and the operations of
the new Federal reserve sys
tem are proving a potent factor
in rebuilding confidence.
Money is easy, and those in
good credit have no difficulty
in securing all reasonable ac
commodation. Bank clearings
prove increased activity be
yond a doubt. In the second
week of May the increase at
leading cities was over 12 per
cent. In the first week of May
the returns at all cities showed
an increase of nearly 33 per
cent. This latter total was
largely swelled by activity on
the New York Stock Exchange,
but the clearings outside of
New York exhibited a gain of
nearly 10 per cent. No more
conclusive evidence of legiti
mate improvement could be
offered than these figures.
From the Henry Clews Finan
cial Review for May 22.
It took Italy and Austria a
long time to go to war but they
lost no time in commencing to
fight.

more or less of a sad story until

Europe keep their old war.

had Its feet molded to fit the shoes.
We are speaking now of the earlier
fashions, not of the present. j
The manufacturer sired up the hu
man foot and decided It was an ugly
thing. He thought It should have an
extra curve or two bent Into It and
the toes appeared to him too broad, j
so he shaved them to a neat, styl
llsh point. This meant pressure be
tween the toes and the shoe, and
pressure meant corns. Corns meant
credulity, and credulity gave birth to
corn cures. The shoemaker stocked
corn cures among his many specialties
thus catching 'em coming and going,
so to speak.
The extra curve, or rather angle,
which the shoemaker put In his shoes
threw the big toe out of allgnmei t,
drove It away from the straight line,
dislocated the head of its metatarsal
bone, produced a bunion.

CURRENT THINKING
THE GREAT AMERICAN AMBLE.
The original American toed straight
ahead and carried a tomahawk. He
needed no arch supports but Mother
Earth. He didn't know a bunion
from a boU and the only corn that
Interested him was that which his
faithful spouse planted, tilled, har
vested, ground, cooked and served
without a sprinkling of women's
rights. None of these modern ' evils
bothered the good Indian. He walk
ed like a king of the land and he
toed straight ahead.
Some civilized person undertook to
Improve on the red man's carriage
and the outcome was the white man's
shoe. At first this artifice served a
useful purpose It outwore mocca
sins and saved the feet But that was
only while the shoes were made by
hand and to measure.
In the fullness of time machinery
crowded back the pioneer shoemaker'
