"Books for Everybody" is the
slogan of a group of earnest people
who seek a wider diffusion of cut
ure among our people. It was also
evidently the slogan of a large
number of citizens of Seattle, the
public library of the city having re
ported that 10,000 volumes were
taken from their shelves by patrons
last year and never returned.
When arguments for government
ownership of the railroads -are ad
vanced it will always be possible to
refer back to the war period when
in two years time the government
lost a billion and a quarter of dol

plan that eliminated many of the
costly features Df competition.

Aii investigation of the state
school milk supply was recently
made under the direction of State
Supt, Churchill an3 It was found
that the average number of child
ren not getting milk regularly ts a
food was 30 per cent, the uiral
schools averaging g. eater than the
cities. In Monmouth the numVer
who go without is test than 20 per
cent. As a rule the use pf milk
as s food is a matter of education
and the tendency where it is com
mon is to seek for something hard
er to get for, of course, the things
which sre most 'costly nd hardest
to get are deemed most desirable.
If every tax payer in the state of
Oregon would give the same care
and attention to the "pending of
every $K26 which he possesses as
many of them do to the $1.26 to
every one thousand ' dollars of as
sessed valuation which the higher
educational tax measure will cott
him, he would be much richer at
the end of each year. And if each
$1.26 he spends is spent as wisely
it would redound to the rogress
and prosperity of Oregon. Mi
a man who spends annually many
times this $1.26 in foolish and un
necessary expenditures will yet te
grudge the small annual sum which
the ciuse of higher education musf
have if.it is to keep up the work
in which it is engaged. Y

It is noted that within the past
year clothing has increased in price
64 per cent, lumber 8 per cent,
while food has shown a decrease of
six tenths per cent. Ihe price of
clothing has grown top heavy .and
if anything will help it take a tum

get into denims. The same purpose
could perhaps be better served' by
wearing one's old clothing. Wool
growers know the price of clothing
is greatly out of proportion to
what the raw material costs. A
general lowering ojf prices would
increase the amount of clothing
bought and the producers of wool
need not fear an oversupply for a
long time, But before the business
can reach a healthy condition there
must be considerable decrease in
the cott of the manufactured pro

In this age of moneymaking tha
possession and use of books often
times appears a stumbling block in
the way to the goal. To possess a
book takes money which might be
spent for some pleasure or invested
for a ready return. To read books
takes time that might mean the
sacrifice of some frivolous pastime
or mental work most fatiguing to
the indolent. Yet books are the
real source of knowledge and lead
to the Dower that is more micrhtv

than brute force, An inquiry'shows
that only 27 per cent of the c6un
ties of the United States have with
in their limits any one library of
5000 or'more volumes. In thirty
states the public libraries serve less
than half of the inhabitants; in six
states less than a tenth and in one
state less than a fiftieth of its peo
ple, The hope of the nation is in
