The state conference of editors at Eugene appointed a com
mittee to ascertain why the paper mills discriminate against
the country Daoers in favor of the Portland papers, by charging
J the country newspapers as high as 10 cents a pound for news
1 print as against 2 1-4 cents for the city papers, and to seek a rem
Jedy. 1 The reasons for the difference in cost is because the Portland
J papers have long time contracts with the paper mills, made before
the war, and not expiring for two years hence, while the small
papers have to buy from jobbers and in the open market in small
I Quantities. The great volume of business since the armistice,
has caused an increase in the size of city papers. The cessation
of paper imports on account of the war, together with the
increased consumption, has caused the paper demand to exceed
the production, and parer mills have taken advantage of the
situation to profiteer. The small papers, and some of the large
ones, unprotected by contracts, must pay excessive prices and in
some instances, have been forced to suspend, thru inability to
secure paper or to pay the price.
To remedy the situation, all newspapers were asked last fall
to conserve paper, to re-establish war regulations, reduce size
of paper, and increase rates to diminish volume of advertising
that forced larger issues. Necessity compelled increase in circu
lation rates, that also aided in curtailing consumption.
Most of the newspapers of the United States and Canada
have been limiting the size of their issues and cooperating in
every way to protect other newspapers and permit their contin
uance. The Portland newspapers have been a notable exception
They have not only increased the size of their issues, but have
taken advantage of the situation to make an organized effort to
drive the country press into bankruptcy by selling country sub
scriptions at half price.
The Portland Oregonian economized bunday by issuing a 146
pr,ge edition. The paper wasted m this one issue would supply
all the country papers in Oregon for a month.
What can the country press do except dance to the tune of
the profiteer's fiddle? Various legislative remedies have been
suggested, such as barring papers over a certain size from the
second class mail privileges. Others suggest restoration of gov
ernment regulations on paper price and distribution. Nothing has
been done, however, except a vain appeal to the decency of pub
lishers for co-operation, because it was hoped that with the re
sumption of imports, normal paper conditions would be restored.
It is, however, a proper matter for federal action. There is
no justice in permitting a few city papers to needlessly issue large
editions of huge blanket sheets whose only benefit is to enrich the
protiteenng publisher, when such issuance deprives the many
country newspapers of paper necessary for existence and forces
a price that spells bankruptcy. It is an unjust discrimination that
tends to beneiit the city at the expense of the country, for it is
not only the newspaper that suffers, but the community in which
the paper is published and whose lite the paper portrays.
THE RAILROAD BILL
As finally amended and passed by congress, the rainroad bill
goes to the executive for approval, containing the labor pro
vision urged upon congress by President Wilson in August, 1916,
when he recommended as follows : '
Amendment of tho Fe eral statutes providing for mediation, concilia
tion and arbitration tio as to ' rovl le for a full public investigation before
a st'lke or lockout mMr 'a "-"ull i ""pted.
Much time would have been saved if congress had paid atten
tion to the president's recommendation at the time, instead of
swinging around a wide circle, which included forbidding strikes
as crimes, on one side and federal ownership on the other side.
Under the billl, as passed, railroad labor disputes, failing of
settlement by the parties concerned, will go before a federal
board of arbitration, consisting of nine members, three from
the roads, three from the employes and three from the nublic.
Pending a public hearing and decision by the board, strikes are
made unlawful. Strikes are not outlawed, except in advance of
full public investigation which is what the president suggested
long ago.
Railroad brotherhoods oppose the bill on the ground that the
wage question concerns only employers and employes and that
the public has no business with representation on the arbitration
board. But the facts of the matter are that it is the public that
eventually pays the railroad wages through rates, and it is the
public which is the chief sufferer from railroad strikes and the
consequent demoralization of traffic and business. The employes
cannot afford to adopt the old public-be-damned policy discarded
oy tne railroads, lor public support wins or loses strikes and the
public has been the goat long enough.
Rippling Rhymes
BY WM, ' ION
ALWAYS SOMETHING.
If one is bound to have the blues, and grumble like the deuce,
then every blooming thing he views will do for an excuse. Where
'er he looks he faces wrong and misery and strife; oh, something
always comes along to take the joy from life. He has a small at
tack of tin, and it has knocked him flat; he stands around and
says, "Kct'choo!" and stronger words than that. He tells his
woes to other cranks, in voice of doleful pitch, and doesn't give a
word of thanks that he is spared the itch. The day is dismal, and
he brays, and tears his hair and robe, and he forgets the pleasant
days when sunshine soaked the globe. He sadly wails the same
old song, or plays it on a fife: "There's always something comes
along to take the joy from life." And when one views the world
like this, he is a hopeless case; he wouldn't know a slice of bliss if
pushed against his face. A ton of grief upon this hick is most
securely cinched, and he would make some kind of kick if he
were being lynched.

This Tells You How to Get
Benefit of the Best Senna
Finest Grade of Egyptian Senna Leaves used in
compounding Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin.
PROMINENT importers and
JL wholesale dealers in crudo
drugs and medicinal herbs
gathered, from (ill purls of the
world do uot hesitate to say that
the market for the better grades of
medicinal herbs, roots, oils, etc.,
is practically confined to the lead
ing manufacturers of the so-called
package medicines, w ho buy only
the very best, and that the-manu-facturers
of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin are the largest users of the
best grade of Kgyptiun senna
leaves in the world.
The potency of a tea brewed
from senna leuves to relieve con
stipation has long been recognized,
not only by the medical profes- '
sion, but by the public generally;
in fact, senna has been known and
used in medicine for more than
five centuries. The cheaper
grades of senna, such as are usu- '
ally sold at retail, have, however,
a tendency to gripe and cramp
which makes their use unpopular
with most people.
In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
the finest Egyptian senna is com
bined with pepsin and other vah
able agents, essential oils and pure
cane supar syrup to make an ex
ceptionally valuable tonic-laxative
for the relief of constipation and
resulting disturbances of the
stomach and bowels. The coin,
plete formula is plainly printed ia
English, French, nnd Spanish on
every package. Thousands who
formerly bought an inferior grade
of senna leaves now use Dr. CaW
well's Syrup Pepsin instead. It
- is sold in ding stores everywhere,
Jn spite of tfce fact tfcat Dr. CiU.
irell'j Syrup Pepsin is the largatseSmt
