"Without or with offense to friends or foes
I sketch your world exactly' a it goes."
Byron
Campaign Amenities
In his speech before the Kiwanis club. Julius Meier, the
millionaire merchant prince and chain banker who has sud
denly become champion of the people, declared that the
editor ol the Capital Journal along with two other editors
was a subsidized champion of the power trust and its edi
torials written by one whose brains had been removed 18
years ago which is probably as near to wit as Mr. Meier is
capable of scintillating.
Now the columns of the Capital Journal carry their
own refutation of Mr. Meier's subsidy slander. The other
charge may be true. But despite it, perhaps because of it,
during the 25 years tho editor has been publishing news
papers in Oregon, there cannot be cited a single utterance
of his to substantiate the subsidy accusation, but many to
refute it. The editor's opposition to the menace of the
power interests is a matter of record for a quarter of a cen
tury, whereas Mr. Meier's record is only six weeks old.
Such an attack upon its honesty, integrity and sincerity,
is a serious one to bring against any newspaper, but because
an unmitigated falsehood always finds willing believers it
receives unmerited attention. The Meier power subsidy
canard is rehashed from similar charges made by the late
George Joseph in pursuance of his doctrine that the right of
free speech meant the right of character assassination. The
Capital Journal at the time dubbed Mr. Joseph an unmiti
gated liar and now pays the same compliment to Mr. Meier.
To substantiate his charges, Mr. Joseph cited the fact
that the Capital Journal printed display advertising in 1926,
along with every other newspaper in Oregon opposing the
Housewives power bill, paid for by the power companies.
But the advertising did not influence the editorial policy of
the Capital Journal, any more than printing the political
advertising of Mr. Joseph or that of the Water Company in
the recent primary campaign did. All sides in every elec
tion are entitled to present their arguments to the people
In the advertising columns of newspapers and it is part
of the functions of the press to print them.
Incidentally it may be remembered that it was in this
same campaign of 1926 that the Capital Journal asked an
investigation by the Senate Committee of rumors that the
power interests were financing the campaign of Senator
Steiwcr as they had that of other senatorial candidates in
the east. The only investigation that followed was the ac
ceptance of the denials of power officials, who swore they
never contributed anything to any political campaign and
thus white-washed themselves. - Would a subsidized news
paper hurl such a bomb into the ranks of the power inter
ests? Mr. Meier probably gets his idea of a subsidized press
from his experiences with metropolitan newspapers, for he
ruthlessly uses his power as the largest advertiser in the
community to club city papers and threaten them with loss
of business to influence their policies. In some instances
he has punished them by loss of lineage and in other instanc
es lured them with greater patronage. Their consequent
servility and lick-spittling, makes the independence oi.the
country press incomprehensible to Mr. Meier and he p -obably
imagines that if he is not subsidizing the latter, some one
else must be.
Mr. Meier also characterized the three small newspa
pers he mentioned as his "worst enemies" who are "spiting
themselves with their lack of understanding of the import
ance of the battle being waged against the power monopoly."
Now the Capital Journal has no enmity for Mr. Meier, in fact
it has a high regard for him as a bright spot in what would
otherwise be a dull campaign and it derives a great deal of
pleasure in debunking his candidacy and puncturing his
iridescent bubbles of sham.
On the power issue Mr. Meier's ignorance Is collosal
and he has yet to set forth a single constructive idea to
remedy conditions. There is nothing that he advocates that
cannot be accomplished under existing laws. His candidacy
is sponsored in the background, by a group of the most pred
atory and mercenary politicians the state has developed. His
personal financial interests as a capitalist are interwoven

form of hokum he appeals to prejudice and capitalizes the
popular unrest by posing as the saviour of the people. The
Iower interests far from opposing him, regard his candidacy
with calm complacency if not inward satisfaction, realizing
there is nothing to fear and that the people are being
buncoed again.

SUICIDE RATE.
FOR WOMEN IN
GERMANY RISES
Berlin (IP) The number of suicides
in Germany remained about as high
In 1928 as it was in 1927, numbering
about 10.000, but women's suicides
Increased as compared to men's the
latest official statistics revealed.
This,' tendency has been observed
for several years. In 1926, for In- I
stance, 13.3 women out of every
100.000 committed suicide, their rate j
rising to 14.S two years after. Dur
ing the same period, the number
of male suicides dropped from 39
to 36.4 out of every 100,000.
The number of suicides does not
vary widely from year to year. Nev
ertheless, periods of declining trade
show an increasing suicide rate.
Thus 1926, a year marked by a se
vere economic crisis, revealed the
highest suicide rate after the war
26.2 per 100,000 Inhabitants. Official
statistics of the year 1929 have not
yet been completed, but It Is be
lieved that the unfavorable business
situation during that year resulted

ASCRIBE LOSS

Berlin, HV-Through the growing
abstinence of Germans from hard

material loss of revenue from Its
state alcohol monopoly.
