OREGON' WEATHER . -f Cloudy, except rain north- west portion, warmer; gentle southeasterly winds. 4 The crown prince, who is reported to be in Holland, send greetings to America. The kaiser, who is also in Holland, Is more sullen and refuses to be interviewed. GERMAN HAXD8 The moral standing of Germany with the rest of the world is epito mised in an incident of the German fleet surrender. The flower ot the German navy that navy with which the empire-builders of Prussia had dreamed of conquering the world bad steamed in silence, between two araardian lanes of British, French and American warships. Then, in silence still unbroken, the German officers came aboard the allied ves sels to make the formal proffers of surrender. There was no ceremony such as Is ordinarily shown an honorable oppo nent. There was not one word of courtesy to lessen the bitterness of humiliation. There was nothing but contemptuous, eloquent silence. "Two ot the German officers wept. Another raised his hand to shake with a British officer. The latter fused. The German's hand fell limp ly to his side. He turned away grimly muttering something in his native tongue." There was Innocent blood on that band. It is what Germany faces today, whereer she turns. This Is the re ception that awaits millions ot Ger mans, in their future contact with the humane civilizations they sought to destroy. Those who think of Ger many now think, first of all, ot XT-boats and U-boat morality. When will German hands be taken again in friendship? tor some barn improvements. U It feeding a goodly numbor ot beeves this winter. Miss Elsie Powers, ot the Picket Creek school, commenced serving hot soup for the noon lunch to her sohoolnra this week. No doubt th little folks will enjoy it very much. UIGENT VOIG is- THE FOOD RULES STAXI) The food administration has sued this notice: ''The regulations are not annulled by the armistice. Modifications may be made by the food administration from time to time, but the specific regulations limiting margins of profit and preventing hoarding have not been removed, and there is no present Intention of dropping these restrictions, which will be rigidly en forced." This may clear up some misunder standings as to the powers of the food administration and its rulings. The passage of the two Jackson bills by a vote of the people of Ore gon last week is one of the clearest examples of the abuse ot the Initia tive system that has occurred. It Is a perfectly sate assumption that 75 per cent of the votes in favor of the abolishment of the publication of the delinquent tax lists and the establishment of a 3 H cent legal ad vertising rate were unintelllgently cast, for the simple reason that not one voter in four took the trouble to investigate the merits, fathom the purpose nor consider the harmful- ness of these measures. 1 On the face ot these bills they ap peared as economy measures and as such ignorantly received support. In reality the voters were made the tools for spite by C S. Jackson ot the Oregon Journal on the newspa pers of the state outside of Portland and a full measure of revenge has been accomplished. It would have been more sensible had the voters been asked to favor the establishment of maximum prices of 25 cents per dor. on eggs, 8-cent milk or $300 automobiles, for the gullible voters then -would have at least stooped to consider the harmful effects on the producers snd manufacturers. But as It was the economy-seeking, short sighted vot ers Jumped at the opportunity to hit the profiteer," although they had little idea who the profiteer was nor whether a profit was being made. As it now stands the newspapers of Oregon, outside of Portland, have received a severe wound and one that may actually result in a number of suspensions of business and fail ures. The newspapers of Oregon have been fighting a hard, uphill battle for bare existence since the war be gan, being called upon to donate their only saleable articles, namely space, to patriotic causes. The reve-. ue received from the publication of the delinquent tax lists was one of the tew tangible assets left and the legal advertising at an average price of 5 cents per Une gave but a small margin of profit, as the price has been current tor years past, despite the Increases in all cost ot manufac turing. Now the newspaper publisher, by a vote ot his own neonle. unintelil gently cast, has ..been substantially legislated out of his business and forced to content himself with a 8 H cent per line legal advertising rate and at a time when he was entitled to fully double that amount, if charges were increased In proportion to the prices of other manufactured articles. The state of Oregon will surely lose by this unintelligent vote in fa vor of this oppressive newspaper leg islation. Over 30 strictly country newspapers in this state have sus pended publication and gone out ot business within the past two years. representing about 15 per cent of the state's weekly and daily newspa pers, not to mention numerous semi newspapers and other publications. These unfortunate publications could not weather the Increased costs of labor and materials Incident to the war and at the same time do nate to the government a majority of their advertising and reading col umns for patriotic purposes and be sides stand the loss of usual Income from railway and other advertising which the government administra tion did away with completely. ' It now looks as though many more will be forced out of business be cause a misguided, guillible and too- busy-to-intelllgently-lnvestlgate pub lic jumps at a chance to kill sup posed graft and substitute a sup posed economy. Like the enactment of former Jackson propaganda into laws deal ing with poll tax matters, when the public voted without thinking and later repealed their action, so this latest example of foolish legislation will undoubtedly later be reconsider ed and repealed, but In the mean time many hardworked, struggling publishers will probably have been forced out of business. 4 V. 8.
