MAR. 26. 1920 Subscription Rstss One year 12,00 Six months - ' ' 1.00 Three months 75 eta J I Monmouth f ) Meditations The German wheel of revolt made just about one revolution and stopped at the place of starting. To a man determined to knock a proposition one excuse serves u well as another, " The sharp ear may now detect the sound of political cannonaJe in tl e distance, the preliminary to the approaching battle. Viewing the preparations being made on every hand, a heavy mor tality among ground squirrels may be expected shortly. This is a good season of the year to plan for a lawn next summer. The prospects are good that we will have plenty of water and it is self evident that the appearance of the city will be much improved with more well kept lawns. , There are few people these days who do not have cause to complain over high taxes, but it is well to remember that other things are high also. When a loaf of, bread costs twice what it used to cost and clothing, shces, groceries and other necessities are similiarly high, it is not to be" wondered at that taxes should also go upward. The action of the commercial club of the city of Dallas in passing a resolutions commending the millage bill should and does meet with ap preciation on the part of citizens of Monmouth. Dallas has acted gen erously in the matter and its action is in keeping with the vision and judgment that has given that city a position of importance on, the map of Oregon. We are told that breweries and distilleries can, with little expense, be fitted to turn barley and corn in to syrup instead of into intoxicating liquors. The alcohol in the liquor comes from fermented sugar in the grain. Wheft the process is stopped at a different stage than the one by which it is turned to alcohol, a syr up, nourishing and pleasant to the taste is the result. Thus will be provided a market for. the grain formerly used in the liquor business. That S Per Cent Limit t If good milch cows could be bought for $5 a piece the price of milk would be reduced and city folks would all be happy. So why not pass a law. providing that no milch cow shall be sold in Oregon for more than $5. Or let's go a step farther and pass a law that no milk shall be sold in Oregon for more than 5c a quart. But the trouble is that if this law was passed, then tie dairymen would ship their milk to Washington, Idahp or California, and then where would the Oregon babies get their milk.. That's what is wrong with the the proposed 5 per cent interest rate bill. If it should pass, Mort gage Companies and Banks would simply loan their money outside of Oregon', and where would Oregon merchants, farmers, manufacturers and home builders get money with which to finance themselves. Oregon banks are interested in Oregon development, but with gilt edje commercial paper and munici pal and railroad bonds being sold at a price to yield as high as 7J per cent'very few bankers will loan their money at 5 per cent.
