The President's Address ""PIIE COST of our combined governments," said J- President Coolidgo in his inaugural address, "is almost beyond definition, ile expressed tbo opinion , that the people gave a mandate in tbo last election for economy in public expenditure, with reduction and re form in taxation. These things, the president believes, are demanded above other things. They constitute the paramount issue of today, as he sees it. There is no doubt that the great and mounting cost of government is becoming irksome to many people. There is no doubt that complaint at the burden of taxation is growing louder and more general. But wo ; discern thus far no overwhelming tendency on the part of the people to oompel retonn. Certainly congress, jWhioh represents the pooplo, exhibited no consciousness of such public sentiment when it voted to increase the , salaries of its own members in the aggregate of $1,500,000 a year. The Oregon legislature, also a representative body, apparently did not think any such demand existed, vrhon it passed out so lavishly the many special appro- friations and salary rises that the governor has since een busy vetoing. In his own sound stand for public feoonorny we think the president is assuming a. needed 'leadership rather than responding to a general public domand, because if that demand existed generally it jDortarnly would have been reiieotcd in congress and par legislature. The president answers, in the courso of his address, I the critics of our national defense, by Baying that since Ve entered into covenants with other great nations on limitation of sea power, our navy ranks larger, hi' com parison, than ever before. He makes it clear that there yrill be no disposition on the part of his administration Jo identify this nation with European affairs. "Espec ially are we determined," he says( "not to become im plicated in the political controversies of the old world." He repeats, how(evor, his belief that the United States should adhere to tho permanent court of international justice, "in conformity with the principle that a display of reason rather than a threat of forco should bo the determining factor in intercourse among nations." Mr. Coolidgo reaffirms his belief , in representative governmont and in party responsibility, lie pays a compliment to congress, saying that "thero is no more independent and effective legislative body in the world," although "it is and should bo, jealous of its preroga tives." , ' Altogether the president's address reflects a tone of satisfaction with conditions intho country and with tho outlook. The country? lie- says, ,lhns ovorwholmingly expressed its determination to proceed in tho right direction." Oregon Products Month OTtEGON produots are being advertised to tho world this month. March has beon designated as national Oregon products month. Magazine space throughout tho country is being nsod to tell tho virtues of the things that wo produce and manufacture horo. Tho Associated Industries of Oregon is the organization undor which the campaign is1 being conducted. Tho aggregato of the expenditures to be niado will bo in tho hundreds of thous ands of dollars. Millions of pooplo will learn about Oregon produots for tho first time. It is a campaign that will prove vastly valuablo to tho stato. Oregon products are finding markets in many states and couutrios, but thoir fame is, comparatively spoaking, In its beginnings. They enoounter no difficulty m hold ing thoir own in competition with other products, iwnorovor thoy becomo known. Tho present campaign is to help thorn to become more widely known. . Hero is a paragraph Trom ono of tho nowspnper fcdvertiaomcnta being used in homo papers by tho Asso ciated Industries of Oregon which is worthy of tho favor able consideration of every resident of this stale: Insist upon Oregon-made products when you buy.

If Oregonians themselves will act in accordance iwith that behest, progress toward strengthening our selves at Homo will result. lamation pr acre is somewhat above 150 and toe total cost of the pro ject will be In the neighborhood of (1.00,000,000. That of course is 11 verr large um to be used in any ou state, as practical men know. An advantage about the UuiatilU rapids project is Uiat it provides for irrigating laud in both the states ul Oregon and Washington, aiao fur im provement of the Columbia river frun. a standpoint of navigation which in terests Jdabo as well as Oregon and Washington, and for power develop ment tint will benefit the entire northwest region. The cost of the rap ids pruject would also be much lens than tbat of the larger Columbia bad- in project and tjiis is a feature of considerable consequence . The people of Spokane who have i hacked the Columbia basin project so loyully are to be congratulated upon their vision and upon the report Just made. They have also given good support to the Umatilla rapids pro ject, wbich likewise calls for Colum bia basin development. The two pro jects are related in tbat they both seek utilization of opportunities now neglected. Eventually both these pro jects will be constructed. The Itinerant Peddler. (AMilund Tidings) The Kiwanis club Iihs hud printed a number of posters which read: "No tice to peddlers, agents aud order takers, no admittance, we don't need your goods, Ashland merchants carry complete slocks and we trade at home;" which will be given free l housewives of Ashland to place on j their doors. This is a novel idea. Pe I- j dlera and itinerant salesmen iufest he town, aud are often rude ami overbearing to their hostess. It would be a safe estimate in saying Uiut a majority of these sell products that , can be bought at a down-town busi ness home for the same price or even less. His products are often cheap novelties that can be gKten at any local counter among the lower j priceu articles, at me sumo lime wu'.-ii ware is taken from his it is throwing money away to outside aud even tra j- sient markets. This money if left yi the town it came from, would inevit ably causo it to prosper. . Although it may not entirely cover the field, this new idea of the Kiwsnis will be a big help to the local business houBes, There should also be otic T 0, 0flr P A i.L pv raised 11 carloada of onion set that I "" repanng Another Dose . bought them the ,.m 0f ns.soo. ?ttt5 A ' s r- ft XAHQSO IF HE .

(Sulein Htatonman) It is bard to understand why the republicans In the senate are so anx ious to read several men out of the parly when they know there has to be a break in the next few months. Theiu is no more chance of Horub Working witJi the ndmhiUtriuion than there jh of LaFolIctle. The republican! ma jority is so narrow now that a few defections will leave the party pre cisely where it was -in the preseut congress. ( j Ths New Tax Statements. (RoBoburg News-Review) Well, we've Just received our 1024 tax vtatementa, and, on close exam ination we fail to note that promised fifty-fifty reduction that the gover nor proclaimed a couple of years ago. But, we are not disappointed. Wo knew the impossible couldn't happen. O. P. IS ANXIOUS OVER SENATE Democrats, Though, Have Little Chance of Regaining Control of Congress Soon Rowel Ts Comment The MassachiiHotts toxtilo interests, which manipu lated the campaign resulting in tho defeat of tlio federal child labor amendment in that (state, liavo been so heartened by tho result that they are now trying to lobby through tho legislature a repeal of the law whereby the working hours of women in industry are limited to 48 hours a week. Similar attempts may be expected in other states against existing laws for the protection of both women and children in industry, as a result of tho defeat of tho child labor amendment. All the forces that commercialize tho labor of tho weak are heartened by that result. Thoy intend to press their advantage. Tho truck-bus tax bill becomes a law, though with out the governor's signature. Tho attorney general, having given an opinion that it is unconstitutional, is now in rather poor shape to defend it in court in ease it is attacked. What kind of a system is it, anyway, that permits Hie attorney general 'to give publicity to an opinion against'a state law which ho may be called upon later to defend in court! Tho truck-bus bill may or may not bo constitutional. That is for tho courts to decide. Hut meanwhile the attorney general lias prejudiced that case against it. " By C11KSTKH H. ItpWELL IIE Republicans, in the last cam paign, spent roughly four and a ijuartcr inillioim, tho democrats not quite a million, and the La lollette party a quartur of a million. The ef fective results wero about in the same proportions. This is, of course, nut to say that money did it all. It works both ways. Money helps to win votes, but tho situation (hut attracts votes also makes it eay to collect money, Prnetlcul!y all tho money in mod cm party fuuds is used legitimately. It is n good thing for the pooplo to have it nvailnhlo. The danger is that a parly with disproportionate funds may over whelm the other, and that those who contribute it will expert favors. I low would this do, to remedy both evils? Reiiuiro each person who votes in a party primary to contribute, then and there, 50 cents to the party cam paign fund. If ho does not vote in a party pri mary, let the tax collector collect two dollars from him, and distribute it, less costs of collection, proportionate ly among the parties, to una for his better education next time.

Cousid eriug how badly the democrats wero beaten iu the last presidential election, it iriuy seem as if there can be no justification whatever for the hopes their leaders express of gain ing control of cougresH next year. - let democratic politicians are siu cere in the confident predictions they make. What's more, the republicans are a little anxious, And on second thought it become: apparent thut this naturally follows from the very fuct of the lust elec tion's one-sidednesi. The democrats already have lost about all they possibly can lose and if the situation changes at all, from their standpoint it is bound to change for tbe better. The republicans at present hold, not only all tJie normally republican seats in congress, tout a good many that are normally democratic, bo from their standpoint there hurdly can be any change which isn't for tho worse. The senate illustrates this better the house, because the former smaller body and only a third of its members' terms expire at A time. . Ou March 3, then, tho terms of Senators Brousmird of Louisiana, Caraway of Arkansas, Fletober -of Florida, George of Georgia, Overman of North Carolina, Smith of South Carolina and Underwood of Alabama will expire. All these are democrats and all ar sure of re-election, or, if any of them should be retired, other democruls than is a would bo elected in their places. No politician of either party looks for any such miracle as the victory of a republican senatorial candidate in any of those states. , Also on March 3, 1027, the terms will expire of Senators Bingham of Connecticut, Cumeron 'of Arizona, Cuimuius of Iowa, Curtis of Kansas, Dale of Vermont, Ernst of Kentucky, Gooding of Idaho, Harreld of Okla homa, Jones of Washington, Ladd of North Dakota, Lenroot 'of Wisconsin, MeKinley of Illiuois, Means of Colo rado, Moses of New Henipshlre, Nor bock of South Dakota, Oddie of Ne vada, Pepper of Pennsylvania, Short ridge of California, Smoot of Utah, Spencer of Missouri, Stnnfield of Ore gon, Wadswortb of New York, Wat son of Indiana, Weller of Maryland und Willi of Ohio, ; '' These are republicans and every body knows that Arizona, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Missouri and Maryland aro democratic a good deal oftener than tuey are republican state. - i So there are fivo senate .seats, to (lUeglu Wltu, uiut tue uuniouii tire hopeful or and tae Tcpumicans wor ried about.

Fellowship of Prayer Daily Lenten Bible reading ' and meditation prepared -for Commission .on Evangelism of ' Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. THURSDAY The Message of the Saviour Read Luke 5:27-39. Text. 5:32. I am not come to cull the righteous. but sinners to repentunce. Meditation In this declaration Christ defined his mission. He had come, not only to associate with tbe good and to enjoy the fellowship of congenial friends, but also to seek those who most needed his ministry. It is always hard to spend time with unlovely people; it is taxing to min ister to the sick; it is dangerous to oe with the wicked; .but Jesus followed the only true method of sendee to go where he was needed and to do what would be of greatest heln. Sin distressed him and evil people pained him, but he went to them that he migjit do them good. To follow Jesus here is part of the cost as well as the joy of discipleship. "What shall I do to gain eternal life?" "Discharge aright The simple dues with which esch day Is rife, Yea, with thy might." Prayei: O God, we would be thy disciples but our own eose nnd com fort are so dear to us and the world's needy and sinful are so unlovely th i. we hesitate to follow Christ in this ministry. Show us our way and be thou with us. Amen. (Copyright, 1025, F. L. Fagley) Services Held for President Ebert Why YOU Should Have an Account In THIS Bank A. To safeguard y0n. money. B.
