Eugene Soon Nearer the East.
TPUGENE is likelv to bo on the main lino to mid from
i-J the cast when tlio nnw Soul horn Pacific railroad ex
tensions have been completed. It i.s a prediction justified
by the prospective nil nation (lint the Southern Pacific
company will operate eastern passenger. trains, starting
irom Portland, over its new cut-oils lrom J'iUgeno tnrougi)
Klamath Falls and Lakcvicw and thence to the con
nection with the Central Pacific nt "Wendell.
The effect will be to bring lOugeno about four
hours nearer to Chicago and New York than are Port
land and other coast cities. Passengers from, Eugene
can buy tickets directly to destination and board trains
here. Eastern mail routed over the southern Pacilic
will reach Eugene about ten hours sooner than under
present conditions. It is necessary now tor the Eastern
mail to go first to Portland and to bo transferred before
coming on to its destination.
California commercial bodies are making an organ
ized effort to persuade the trans-continental railroad
lines to reduce their running time between Los Angeles
and San Francisco and the east. A "gentlemen's agree
ment" 'among the various railroads has resulted in
coast points being kept on an approximate parity as
to running time to the east. The Guard lias looked up
the schedules of several of the "crack" trains and has
computed the running lime. The North Coast Limited
on the Northern Pacific between Portland and Chicago
covers the 2312 miles in 704 hours which is at the rate
of 32 miles an hour. Other trains, distances and rates
are: Portland Limited (Union Pacific) Portland to Chi
cago, 70 hours, 2202 miles, 32 miles an hour; Overland
Limited (Union Pacific) San Francisco to Chicago, 70
hours, 2284 miles, 32i miles an . hour; the Navajo
(Sante Fe) San Francisco to Chicago, via Harstow, 7!M
hours, 25(i4 miles, 32 miles an hour; California Limited
(Sante Fe) Los Angeles to Chicago, G8r hours, 2246 miles.
o'.i miles an hour; the Olympian (Milwaukee) Seattle
to Chicago, 69! hours, 2100 miles, 31 i miles an hour.
There are many other trains, nil holding to similar
or slower schedules. The California commercial bodies
ihavo requested the roads to operate one fast train on
onch line, ' cutting n full day from the running time,
which could bo done by speeding up to an average of
about 47 miles an hour.
The argument is advanced that the railroads could
moot the additional expense by charging excess fares
for the fast trains, as is done in the East. The Twen
tieth Century Limited (New York Central) makes the
run between New York and Chicago in 20 hours, cov
ering tho distance of !)78 miles at nn nverago rato of
about 49 miles an hour, and does it year in and out.
It costs $9.00 extra to ride the Century between term
inals. There' aro even faster (rains operating on reg
ular schedules in the East, and sonio years ago both
the New York Central and tho Pennsylvania lines ran
18-hour trains between Chicago and New York, the
average running time being nearly 55 miles an hour.
It is certain that more eastern people would come
to the coast if the time required to make tho trip could
be reduced one day each way, and would willingly pay
excess fares for the faster trains, "Whether the rail
roads could make it profitable is a technical question
concerning which The Guard offers no opinion. It
would be a good thing for the coast, and particularly
for Eugene, considering the natural differential in time
which this city will enjoy ere long.

The Tax Quack
(Salem Capital Journal)
How great minds change!
There was the Portland Journal a
few years ago, advocating the single
tax, which places all taxes nn tho
land, as the panacea for all economic
ills.
And hero is tho Portland Journal
today advocating the total abandon
m nt of (he land and property tax as
the only solution for economic ills.
There was the Portland Journal
during the campaign promising
and pledging reduction in cost of gov
ernment if Pierce was elected, with
consequent cutting of taxation in two.
And here 1h the Portland Journal,
with Pierce in office, trying to Impose
additional luxes, such as income and
special taxes to sustain increased cost
of government and totally ignoring
reduction in expenses and economy
in administration.
AVas the Portland Journal right
when It plradcd f'r the land tax, or
Is it right when it seeks abolition of
the land tax-? Was it right when
seeking reduction in state expendi
tures, or is It right in seeking addi
tional tuxes to sanction greater ex
penditures? The fact nf the mutter, Is that nei
ther the right nor the wrong of an
issue bother the Portland Journal
only whether or not it is popular.
Hence It can be expected that this
quack doctor of taxation all even
tually advocate the aboltttion of nil
taxes, except those that soak the
rich because their number is limited.

liy CHARLES P. STEWART
(NEA Service Writer)
WASHINGTON. June 15. Is this
n billion? 1.000,000,000.
Or this? 1,000,000,000,000.
The former,- you'll say. Probably
you won't consider there's much room
for argument, either. Tbe point is
argued, nevertheless, and while
1.000,000,000's advocates refuse to
add a single cipher to their estimate,
1, 000,000,000,000" s supporters are
equally positive, in their refusal to lop
one off.
This difference of opinion makes
war debt discussions between Wash
ington and Europena capitals some
what ' confusing. Here we're of the
1,000,000,000 party. Most Europeans
not all, there are a few rational
ones and Latin Americans are f the
1,000,000,000,000 group.
"Now, as to 12 billion dollars you
owe us," begins America, prelimin
ary to a debt discussion with rfurope.
"Twele billions!" . exclaims Europe.
"Why, 12 thousand millions is all it
is," "Well," asks America, "isn't
that the some thing?" "We should
nay nut," Ktirnne .rejoins. V-A bil
liou is this much.'' And she writes
it down "1,000,000,000,000." "Do
you mean to say a billion's a tril
lion?" inquires America incredulously.
"Not at ail," says Europe. "A bil
lion's a billion, and 12 billions are 11
billions and ItSS thousand millions
more than we owe you not to men
tion the fact that we saved civilization
and ought not to be regarded ns ow
ing you anything nt all."
If you don't think It's possible to
get mixed' up currying on n conversa
tion of this kind, then it's safe to
say you never tried.'
What official Washington can't un
derstand is why ntrnoat every Chinese
who comes to this country for au
education returns home a "red radi
cal." American education doesn't
work that wny on most Americans.
Why has It so jazzy on effect on the
Chinese?
The correct answer is that it isn't
so.
The facts are these:
"Treat 'em rough," is the attitude
of the typical foreign resident of
China toward the Chinese.
Govcrumentally " America has be on
more considerate of China than anv
other country except, recently and
doubtless for her own purposes, Rus
sia. But Hhe average individual Am
etican In China treats the Chinese
much as they're treated by the reM
of the foreign sojourners there
horshiy, arrogantly, often even abu
sively, to the point of blows.
The masses of the Chinese, peace
able and patient far past virtue's
point, and too densely ignorant and
downtrodden to possess o spark of
spirit or so much as realibe what
they're being subjected to, accept oil
this as part of their day's work and
say nothing.
But when an occidentally-traind
young Chinaman returns to his native
land, with western ideas bread into
his mind and much of his racial meeK
ness bred out of it, it angers him to
see his countrymen knocked about
without resenting it. "t wouldn't
stand that," he advises. "He's a Bol
shevik," 'exclaims every foreigner
within hearing. They honestly think
so, too, nnd that's the way the news is
sent back home.
- " .
That Russia seeks to win the
Chinese to herself by nrousing an
tagonism nmong them against the
rest of the world probably Is true.
Tho worst of it is that the rest of
the world's behavior toward China him
been such ns to make this pretty
easy to do.

Today's Cross-Wordp
Poor mothers of the tenements
worry about obtaining a week or two
in the country for their babies dur
ing the hot summer. There are sev
eral organizations which aid in this
work. The problem of the owners of
dogs and other pets is not so serious.
On a Sunday trip through the Jersey
hills I counted 20' places which ad
vertised summer accommodations for
dogs.
Many people leave New York for
the summer, but almost as many
sightseers come here. Yet there
seems to be more room in which to
move about. A clever reporter on a
local paper se-ks to explain this sit
uation by pointing out that people
lose from five to fifteen pounds dur
ing the hot months and that the
shrinkage of bodies allows more rojm
on our crowded sidewalks.
