PAPER TRUST
There is to be a print paper famine and the highest prices
known in years, so the press dispatches tell us. It means that
publishers are to face a condition that will force many of the
weaker into bankruptcy because prices are now so high that
their profits have, in many instances, been cut to nothing, due to
the fact that subscription rates were fixed when print paper was
much lower and now it seems impossiblo to raise them with
out serious loss of patronage.
This condition in the paper market is unquestionably trace -;'
able to the operation of the combine or trust known as the
International Paper Company, controlling the larger part of the
' output of American mills, With a high tariff shutting out Cana
., dian pulp and paper the trust has absolutely controlled the mar.-'.!.-
ket and during late years has only run part of the mills in order
to keep the supply and demand close together, carrying little or
-- no surplus stock in the warehouses. Now a famine in the com
modity is imminent because of the unusual drought prevailing in
the East for months has caused almost a complete shut-down of
the mills, and there is no immediate prospect of a change in con-
ditions,
The trust representatives are now in Washington attempting
to influence the ways and means committee to leave the tariff
rates undisturbed, while Mr. Norris, representing the Amercian
Publishers' Association, is arguing for free trade, givnig many
figures to show the protection afforded paper manufacturers
is responsible for the unreasonable prices with which the pub
lishers are contending.
The protective tariff is the mother of trusts and it is robbing
not alone the publishers of newspapers but every consumer in
: America. Its reduction to a plane justified by present-day con
ditions would do more to smash the trusts than all the suits that
- can be brought against the robber combines in a hundred years.

1 The Harney County News, ex-Speaker Frank Davey's paper
' and strongly Republican, contributes the following to the State
ment No.. 1 controversy: ""The strongest reason urged to justify
the violation of the pledges of Statement No. 1 legislators is the
decision of the supreme court of North Dakota that such a
.pledge is unconstitutional and cannot be legally exacted, and
'can therelore be ignored without betraying any trust." There
:may be strictly legal truth in this, but we believe the moral rea
soning is false. The Oregon candidate for the legislature took
his pledge freely and voluntarily. He took his chances as to the
effect such pledge would have upon his candidacy before the pri
maries and again at the polls. Is it not too late now for him
to seek excuses to go back on it?"
A conference of the offioers of the State Dairy Association

SATYA DEVA IS
LECTURING AT SEATTLE
High Caste Hindu Talked to His
First White Woman
in Eugene
Satya Deva, ex-'09, at present at
tending the University of Washing
ton, is giving a series of lectures be
fore audiences of students of that
university. Hindu religion Is the gen-
, eral topic to be covered by the lec-
first one was delivered recently 'on
"The Place of Woman In Hindu Re
ligion." This lecture was given last
year by Deva before the Phllologian
Society of which he was a member.
The customs affecting women differ
so widely In India and America, that
Deva, who is essentially of an Orien
tal type of mind, is often greatly
shocked by things seen here. Many
an Oregon co-ed has assumed an of
fended air upon finding that Deva
was addressing her in the amused,
tolerant and superior manner of a
race, whose women are not consider
ed fit to converse on equal . terms
with men.
Deva lived at the Dormitory and
was greatly amused
by the dances
held there from time to time. When
asked to join he would say, "Men
don't dance. Only women dance."
Every event of note, was jotted
down by him to transcribe for a Hin-
du magazine, whose correspondent he
Is In this country. An event espec
ially rich In "copy" for him was the
Y. M.- C. A.-Y. W. C. A. joint social
given last year at the Kloshe Tilla-cum-
house. Here Deva first conde
scended to talk to a girl, and al
though loathe to confess It, admitted
that the sensation was not altogeth
er unpleasant.
He Is undoubtedly a man of ability,
and as an -ardent opposer of English
rule in India, may yet be heard
from In Revolutionary circles.
At present he Is entertaining the
students at Washington, and taking
down all their peculiar customs to
tell to bis dark-skinned brethren
over-sea, Just as in years past he his
"written up" Oregon and Chicago.
Just how an account of the recent
halloween festivities in Seattle will
read In Sanscrit is a matter of con
jecture. At the home of the bride at Grant's
Pass on Monday, Nov. 23, 190S,
Chris Marx. Jr., of Eugene, and Miss
Hazel Hodkinson. After a short hon
eymoon trtp to points north they ar
rived In Eugene Sunday and will re
side at the home of the groom's par
ents until they can find a suitable
house to live In. Mr. Marx is associa
ted with Mb brother Ralph In the
ownership of the Eugene Steam Dye
Works and is one of the city's mo6t
promising young men. His bride has
lived here for some Um, being cm
ployed as bookkeeper for the works
for some time previous to the mar
riage. Their many friends tender
congratulations.
An attractive wedding was that of
Miss Inez U. Wilcox, the accomplished
daughter of Mrs. R. A. Wilcox, of
Portland, "and Joseph F. Matlock, of
Lugene, the son of a very prominent
pioneer family of Oregon. The wed
ding took place on Tuesday afternoon
In the Cathedral pnrlors, Father
O'Hara officiating. Mr. and Mrs
Matlock will reside in Eugene, where
Mr. Matlock has business interests

PERSONAL MEMOIRS
0F-A SILVER DOLLAR
I am a dollar. A little age worn
maybe, but still In circulation. 1
am proud of myself for being In cir
culatlon. I am not a tomomato can
dollar not I.
This town is only my adopted
home, but I like It and hope to re
main permanently. When I came out
of the mint I was adopted into a
town like this In another state. But
after a time I was sent off to a big
city, many miles away. I turned up
Inmail order house. For several years
I stayed in that city. Millionaires
bought cigars with me. I didn't like
that, for I behove In the plain peo
ple. Flnnlty a travelling man brought
me to this town and left nl here. I
was so glad to get back to a sjnaller
town ttat I determined to maks des
perate efforts to stay.
One' dry a citizen of this town was
about to send me back to that big
city. I caught him looking over a
mall order catalogue. Suddenly - I
found my voice and said to him he
wrs a dentist, by the way:
"Now look here, doc, if you only
let me stay In this town I'll circu
late around and do you. lots of good,
you buy a beefsteak with me, and
the butcher will buy groceries, and
tte grocer will buy dry goods, and
the dry goods merchant will pay
doctor's bills with me, and the doc
tor will spend me with a farmer for
oats to feed his buggy horse, and the
farmer will buy some fresh beef
from the butcher, and the butcher
will come around to you and get the1
tooth mended. Jn the long run, you
see, I'll be more useful to you here
at home than if you'd send me away
forever."
Doc said it was a mighty stiff ar
gument. He hadn't looked at in that
light before. So he went and bought
the beefsteak, and I Began to cir
culate around home again. ,
Now, just suppose all the other
dollars that are sent to Chicago' or
some other big city were kept In cir
culation right here at home. , You
could see this town grow.
