The Oregon Journal, in a malicious and misleading story in its issue of February 15, asserts that The Bulletin is "padding" the delinquent tax list now being published in the weekly edition, "by setting it in large type and charg ing the county three times the rates paid by other adver tisers." The Journal further says that the rate at which the list is being published "is approximately three times the rate charged the ordinary advertiser." Unless the Journal wishes nition of the words "large," statements are false. If it has a special definition is malicious in so holding that definition while using the words in a manner calculated to give an entirely different meaning to the ordinary reader. The Bulletin, in common with every other newspaper, charges for advertising in its columns a rate depending on the kind of advertising, i. e., whether display, reader, classified, or legal. The rates are shown on its rate card, of which we believe the Journal has a copy." The Journal presumably has a rate card of its own. We invite its pub lication so that the general public may see the different rates charged, depending on the kind of advertisement. In the weekly edition of The Bulletin, display advertis ing, home composition, is charged for at a rate of 15 cents a column inch. It is this rate which the Journal compares with that charged for the publication of the tax list. The comparison is false and misleading, since the two classes of advertising are as different as the department store ad vertisement on page 11 of question. Display advertising is not the only kind carried by a newspaper. There is also reader advertising, classified, and legal. For each a separate rate exists. In the case of The Bulletin, the rates are as shown oh its rate card. For reader advertisements The Bulletin rate is 10 cents per line, for classified, one cent a legal notices five cents a line. We agree that the rate on same as that on display advertising. If the Journal al leges that it is not the same as advertising in The Bulletin, it with full knowledge of the laws of libel. As to the charge that the list has been set in "large' type, we point out that whether a thing is large or small is. wholly -matter -of comparison. ..- Compared with the Journal, The Bulletin is in newspaper. Compared with papers, The Bulletin is large. linquent list is set is the same story was set. Furthermore, rate for legal publications is based. The Bulletin is not a grafting newspaper, nor is it one which distorts the truth in its news. The class of news paper or individual that maliciously makes false state ments concerning it is ordinarily unworthy of notice or reply. When, however, false charges against it are given wide circulation, and when, as in the present case, the charges may be taken to involve men of the integrity of W. D. Barnes, Lew E. Smith and A. L. Mackintosh, the County Court of Deschutes County, we answer. U.S. EXPORTS E INCREASED PRICES GIVEN AS CAUSE SENATOR BORAH DE CLARES DEPARTMENT OF Jl'S TICB TO BLAME. (Br United Ptcm to Th.

FATHER LOSES ATTACHMENT OF PROPERTY TO SECURE WAGES ALLEGED DUB HOLDS GOOD, SAYS SHERIFF'S JURY. The suit of two sons against their father. . to recover wages alleged due, was brought to a conclusion in favor of the plaintiffs Saturday in Redmond, when a sheriff's jury pre sided over by S. E. Roberts, decided in favor of tho attachment filed by the two young men. The lien was orglnally taken by Vernon and Joseph J Plondl against hay and grain on tho C. F. Hosklns ranch, rented by the plaintiff's father J. J. Piendl. The matter was brought before the jury on Hosklns' conten tion that the property on which tho attachment was made, belonged to him, and could not be taken to sat isfy a claim against the father. Evidence tending to show that Hosklns and Piendl, sonlor, were in partnership as far as the output ot the ranch was concerned, waa taken a the basis for the decision rendered. S
