THK STATE FAIR
In glancing over the premium list
tor the 5Sth Oregon state lair, to
be held at Salem, September 22 to
27,. it 111 be seen that $30,000 are
offered in premiums and purses.
Bat aside from the livestock show
and agricultural and horticultural
exhibits, there will be automobile
Cnd chariot races, trotting, pacing
and running races. And some air
planes will be present to cut all sorts
of capers in the air for the amuse
ment of the rubbernecks.
Among the horses, there will be
prizes tor fancy riding, driving and
draft animals, including such popu
lar breeds as French and German
coach, Morgans, Percherons, Bel
gians and Clydesdales, and jacks, J
Jen,nets, mulee and Shetland ponies.
In fact there are prizes and blue rib
bons offered for all sorts ot ranch
animals and poultry.
The cattle exhibit will be one of
the main features of the fair, and
many prizes and blue ribbons are
offered, the Shorthorns, Herefords,
Polled Angus, Jerseys and Holsteins
coming in for the bulk ot attention,
although Galloways, Red Polled,
Dutch Belted, Guernseys, Brown
Swiss and Ayrshires will have a p'lace
In the show, as well as fat cattle and
test milchers.
Among the sheep listed for pre
miums are Spanish Merinos, Ram
boulllet, Shropshires, Hampshires,
Southdowns, Oxford Downs, Cots
wolds, IJncolns, Leicester and An
gora goats. Oregon has some, of the !
finest sheep and goats in the world
and competition for the blue ribbon
will be stiff. But the stiffer the
competition the greater the honor of;

INVASION"
The Mexican Review, published at
Mexico City, sees no excuse for an
invasion of Mexico by armed I'nited
States forces, and appears optimistic
about the future. The Review pre
dicts that normal times will soon
return. In its last issue the paper
says:
"It does not seem possible that
the 1'nited States, after having spent
billions of dollars and hundreds of
thousands of lives to uphold the prin
ciple that treaties between strong
and weak nations are not to be re
garded as mere "scraiw of paper" at
the will of the stronger, should In
tend to stulify herself to the extent
of an armed invasion of Mexico, as
demanded by the interventionists,
without having exhausted all peace
able means of coming to aq understanding.
"The Review most emphatically
refuses to believe that any such
course will be followed!
"The large increase In the number
of passports issued and countersign
ed for persons wishing to visit Mex
ico is an Indication of the return to
normal conditions that cannot be
disputed. And when it is known that
passports are not issued to any ex-!
cept those coming here on business,
the indication becomes all the strong
er. A goodly percentage of those
arriving do so with the intention of
remaining, and the number of new
agencies and offices being opened not
only In Mexico City but in other bus
iness centers augurs well for the fu
ture." To the average American there
appears but one course for President
Carranza to pursue, and that Is to
hunt down Villa's band to the last
bandit, and give adequate protection
to Americans In Mexico as well as
safeguarding American interests
along the border. Until this is done.
there can be no peace in Mexico and
the Carranza government will remain
a farce. Up to the present time
One thing certain about Oregon,
If we don't get the rain sooner, we
get it later but we ulways get it.
That's more than sonle states Ret.
Have you noticed that all late
sales of land in Southern Oregon
are for irrigated tracts? The suck
ers have had their eye-teeth cut.

of the leading hog states of the

the very best animals to be found
anywhere. They include such well
known breeds as Duroc Jersey, Po,
land China, Berkshire, Chester
White, Yorkshire, Hampshire, and
Tamworths, the latter being a' fa
mous bacon hog. There will be
prizes and blue ribbons for all these
breeds.

easons for Increased
Telephone Rates
. A dollar in tlie hands of tin- ti'lciilmnc cniiipiiny lias
no tfivater pun-linniiifr, powrr in tin lalop and materia!
market than lias a dollar in tin hands of the individual.
1', Increases in wacs and priees of materials cannot lie
paid without money and the telephone company is no
more capahle of paying out money it hasn't got than
is the individual.
.'5. The telephone company must he provided w ith means
to meet the demands made upon it fop increased wages
and incre.Lsed cost of materials. As these increased
costs are obviously reflected in the cost, of rendering
telephone service, the telephone company must ask
the telephone using public to pay for tlie service it
reeeives.
4. Higher wages can be paid, increased costs of materials
met, and satisfactory and improved service can lie fur
nished, only when the rates are siifficient to meet tlie
costs of rendering the service with a sufficient maruiii
for a reftonablc return upon the investment.
o. A large territory served by a untilit'y with many pa
trons may produce large gross receipts, but not neces
sarily huge profits. The State of "Oregon is a large
territory and the telephone company serves a larco
number of patrons and has large gross. receipts, but
small profits. Under present rates and conditions it
will earn less than 3 per cent on the value of its pro
. perty in the state. The idea that a large corporation
' doing a large business must neeessarilv be accumu
lating great wealth is a prevalent fallacy which tlie
public must get away from. ' '
C). Telephone rates in the State of Oregon have remained'
practically the- same' for the last fifteen years or
more. There have been a few adjustments in' various
classes of servicejo meet demands of the service, with
a corresponding adjustment in1 rates. ' Increases in
rates are' now made b'ecause of absolute neecssitv
which made it imperative. .fa1e your own compari
son of your telephone rate with tlie increased cost of
shoes, cloth in tr, food products and all other necessi
ties. Ts riot the increased telephone rate reasonable
and consistent in comparison1?
