EN and women who defer their plunge into the employed class un they have trained their EQUITABLE RATES FFORTS of the opposition in the Columbia River basin rate hearing are very much like trying to force water to flow up hill. The re presentatives of Seattle and the Puget Sound railroads would defy Newton and the principles of gravity and they challenge the wisdom of remarks made . by James J. Hill, empire build er, in their efforts to defeat the justice that is due the inland empire shippers. On what reasonable grounds they base their claim for the same rate to Seattle as to Port land is hard to see. The aver age distance from 19 inland empire points to Seattle is 308 miles, while to Fortland it is 260 miles, a difference of ac tual mileage alone of 48 miles. These figures do not take into consideration that the Portland haul is down grade allihe way, while to Seattle a haul 11 times as steep as the maximum along the Columbia River must be made over most of the 308 miles. Should the Portland rates thus be based on the cost of the haul to Seattle? Common sense would not so dictate. Freight rates along the At lantic seaboard are not equal ized for all ports. . They are based on distance and haul. They should be based that way in the Pacific Northwest when the interstate commerce com mission makes its decision.; Portland should have a lower j rate than either Puget Sound, Grays Harbor or Astoria. As- j toria, in turn, is entitled to a ; rate less than that to the sound, j because it is at the end of a water "grade haul, although j slightly further from the inland j empire than beanie. i So far, all that Seattle can; advance is that its commercial relations and its facilities as a eeaport will be injured byl equitable rates. Justice must! fall in one place , or the other, and the farmers and shippers; of this section seem to be more in need of -justice right now, than the Seattle business men. ......' i TEETH TO THE LAW 3 ENDLETON'S new traffic ' JK$ regulations, in effect not. more than two months, j are already in need of addi tions, the city council decided Wednesday night. The latest proposal is to make it a mis-j demeanor for one vehicle to overtake another, going in the; Fame direction at a street inter-j section.'.. ' , What Pendleton needs, how- j ever, is not more traffic laws so much as some teeth to the law ; it has. There is no penalty ex- j cept a money fine for viola-j tions. It is at present impos-' sible, under the ordinance, to; uentence a man to jail for viola-; lion of the city traffic rules.!

They are asking, of course, from a 'purely financial standpoint but jthat is important with condi j tions of living as they are. I In institutions employing both kinds of help the payrolls will show usually that for an equal amount of experience,, the manual laborer is drawing more money than his office or under-executive friend. The man who has spent four years in the best college of commerce in the country, after a year with a shipping concern will be found to draw less than the longshoreman who loads this same company's steamer.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME , WHAT joy it would be to have a home all you r own, built as a home should be built, arranged as you're always wanted your house, everything ordered as you want it, when yowant it your home yard, and a cottage ga rden! There's nothing like owning a home to make a man realize that he's a substantial citizen, or to give people the conf ifence in him he deserves . You can't measure the value of owning your own home on a dollars and cents gasis alone and yet with rents still on the increase and the price of building stabilized, probably for years to come, home building and home owning never was a better investment. Just add to that the satisfaction and contentment for your wife, a better place for the babies to grow up, a more "livable" enviornment A safe investment? Your house and lot are as safe as a bond. There is an unpreprecedented market now for improved property you can "cash in" ' at once if you wish. Five years hence, even though building . prices slowly settle to a lower level, the tremendous ; building activity that must come in the meantime will give your investment a substantial increase jn value. ' ... Prices Mill hold steady for years! You'll surely build some day and youT never find a more opportune time than no. . . . ' DO you hesitate because you think prices are too high? You're making a mistake, for prices must stay at a high level for years. - .'Consider the facts. There's, a tremendous market in Europe and hero at home for every thing we can make the fundamental law of supply and demand must work. We have an tunprecendented amount of gold in the country, and when there is more money In circulation and no great increase in production, we simp ly pass more gold around for our goods. We have high prices in figures but not In reoilty, for If wages are higher and goods are higher, he balance remains the name. Ho long as- the gold stays here, prices will hold up. In short, business men say unreservedly that If prices do go down at all, it will be very, very slowly. In the meantime, rtnts are higher and you pay relatively more to live-i as great proportion as .though you bt jour home at present figures. REPAIR NOW! BUILD NOW!
