FRIDAY, AVGVST 8, 1919. OREGON WEATHER Fnlr; cooler tonight in ex- treme east portion; gentle weaterlv winds. , GOA1MNG THE CONSUMER The national house of represent tives has done -well In reconsidering Its nlan of adjournment for five weeks and deciding to remain in aeesion to deal with the BIG problem bow coming to a focus the high Cost of living. At present this matter is receiving more consideration by the public, by the press and also 'by the most pub lic authorities, than the peace treaty. And certainly it is essential that the food-cost problem, so long neglect ed, should be dealt with intelligently and earnestly without any more de lay. Another man'a-size Job is the set tling of the wage disputes; a job which at the present Is one of the greatest this nation ever faced. The railway employes, most of whom are socialists, are clamoring for what virtually amounts to government ownership of the roads. A noticeable feature of the situation is the fact that President Wilson has offered no solution of the great problem In fact has made no statement further than asserting that "the sit uation is acute." The food problem and the wage controversy have been sidetracked for a discussion of the league of nations; a matter that most vitally concerns a has been ignored until the situation has .become a real men ace to the nation's peace. Who is to blame? It must be admitted that the administration has not had 'a finger on the domestic pulse, but has been -working over-time on Interna tionalism; has let the ship of state drift along the lines of least resist ance without a rudSer. A mere raise of wages will not solve the problem. Whenever wanes are raised the price of living is rais ed and the bill passed along to the public the consumers. What will the consumers do? They are not or ganised like labor. How far can they be driven without causing an up heaval that will ehake this country to Its foundations? That appears to be the experiment now being tried by profiteers and organized labor, and the breaking polut may not be far distant. j l I1A Ufirvniaiiuii IH1JIJ ': The house has passed unanimous- ly a stringent deportation bill. Under it all undesirable aliens now interned in this country may be deported including aliens Interned aa dangerous, those convicted of crime f and those convicted of violation of I war-time laws. v This measure should meet with t nubile approval. It had been feared In many quarters that the end of the ''conflict might see a dangerous re- taxation of vigilance upon the part of the legislators and the public au "thorities. , If the United Btates Is to help In '''any degree to hold the world to a reafe balance, it must be safe and balanced Itself. It cannot remain so i lf the plotter against the government YOU TAKE NO CHANCE For We Guarantee That mm mmmsmmm KINNEY & TRUAX GROCERY i Quality and Service and the fomentor of discontent are allowed to range at will. There is no hardship in this de portation measure. It is clean-cut ana just, -ine man wno does not like our form of government should leave the country. If he wishes to enjoy the freedom and prosperity which are the lot of the nation, hp must subscribe to the laws which alone have made our freedom and prosperity possible. On the theory that all those who are not producers are parasites there are six parasites standing be tween the farmer and consumer they are the elevator man, railroads, wholesaler, miller, speculator and retailer. Yet people wonder why flour is high. Dempsey's ambition will surely be realized. He states that he would rather fight than do anything else. Well, there is a great aggregation of would-be pugullsts on his trail enough to keep him busy for years. Mollasses firms have consolidated their plants in Canada and Britain. They should be able to ' stick to gether. EOF (Continued from Page One) miles, macadam. Warren Construe Uon company, $40,175. Douglas county.

A great dancing party on the decks, of six lattleshlps and dreadnoughts of the Pacific fleet at one time with girl 'lartners for every "gob" Is among '.he many entertainment features danned for the visit here of the fleet. Hundreds of girls have ex pressed their desire to dance with the sailors. RODMAN THIS WHY (Continued from page 1) maxim, in naval warfare, that an euemy which is separated from us by the broad expanse of an ocean and which must be crossed to attack us, must have a superior force to our own, to except any degree of suc cess. "A war with Great Britain, the only country that has a stronger navy than ours. Is to my mind utter ly out. of the question; and hence there is no other, not one. that we can imagine that would be foolish enough to meet us on our shores, or attempt an Invasion. "When our ships had all returned from the war zone, when peace was declared, our secretary of the navy very wisely decided that Washing ton's adage 'In time of peace pre pare for war still holds good, and that since our Atlantic coast had heretofore been the most probable scene of hostilities as It was, that now, being at peace with the whole world, with no prospective wars for years to come, that our Pacific coast should be developed as our Atlantic coast had been lu byaone years. "And so our secretary very wise ly decided to send this magnificent fleet, consisting of over 175 vessels. aggregating ovpr TiOO.OOn tons dis placement, valued at four hundred twenty-five millions of dollars, in cluding vessels of all types, dread naughts, battleships, armored cruis ers, destroyers, submarines, mine layers, sweepers, supply, fuel stid hospital ships, most of which are j here today in your home waters, to I be immediately followed by the re- malnder, to develop the Pacific coast i to the hlshest deKree from a nnval standpoint. "We want you good people of the Pacific coast to feel that this is your fleet, your protective force, but you should realize that we need your hearty cooperative assistance in keeping up Its efficiency. "Let me add that many of our men who came into service during the war are seen to be diB harged, to re-engage in their several pursuits and occupations which they previous-! ly followed and we will expect you to lend a hand in our recruiting by encouraging others out here to Join the navy, than which there is no more honorable profession. Our crews must be kept rilled in order that our shiim remain in fighting trim and up to the very highest standard of efficiency, such as they have enjoyed in the past."
