The situation la Dmmasfc Is similar. Do not waste most. Ths world’s flocks and herds are being rapidly depleted.” — Hoover. Latest report from the treasury de partment is that national sales of T h rift Bampe and W ar Savings Stamps have reached a total o f *70,- 000,000, and that sales are averaging about * 2 , 000,000 a day. The per capita o f the country at large based on the *70,000,000 total is 70 cents. W ith *1.40 per capita credit Oregon has done twice ss well as the nation at large. There are some people who harp about “ partiality” when some law breakers are punished and others are not. But certainly i f all cannot be punished it is much better that some should be punished than that all should go free. I f these people who so prate should ho so unfortunate ee to have e son murdered or crippled or a daughter assaulted, it seems to us that they would look at law enforce ment in e different light end be glsd to see some criminals punished, even i f all were n ot There is not a malefactor in the world, we imagine, who will not a f firm If he can find listeners, that he ought not to be punished because others who, hs says, are worse than he, escape punishment The idee o f such criminals and of tha peopls who echo them would seem to be that the ©niy way in which we ought even to attempt to enforce the criminal laws is to catch the worst o f fenders first and then go on up the line punishing only those whose guilt Is greatest among those hitherto un punished. And, o f course, everyone who was brought to trial would be ready to assert that worse offenders than he are still at larse. W s have seen this absurd position taken tills year o f 1918 by men who are charged with the enforcement o f the law as public officials and by newspapers that ought to stand for law enforcement instead of decrying it. What their motives are, God knows; in what direction their in fluence leads unless it is to encourage and protect evil doers, even the devil himself could not M L A F T E R R E AR S-SAW B U C K A Washington, D. C., dispatch o f Wednesday gives the following infor mation which, we believe, will inter est most o f our readers i The Federal Trade Commissi >n has issued a complaint charging Sears Roebuck A Co.-, o f Chicago, with un fa ir methods o f competition in the conduct o f business. The com plaint summons Scars Roe buck Company to answer the charge that it advertised sugar e t three to four cents s pound, actually at a loss, but on condition a certain amount o f groceries be purchased fo r which a sufficient price was charged to make a profit on the combined sale. The complaint charges that the company with the purpose o f injur ing competitors circulated catalogues representing quality o f merchandise •old by competitors as inferior. The complaint charged a low sugar price was made fo r ths purpose o f lessen ing competition and creating s mon opoly. S P R A Y S TO BE S C A R C E Fruit and vegetable growers should lay in their spray supplies now in. order to be sure o f getting them at all. Manufacturers o f sprays and sprayers told the W ar Emergency Board o f American Plant Pathologists that unless early orders are placed they doubt their ability to meet the increased needs. Professor H. P. Barss, o f O. A . C , is the western member o f the Board and says that more careful spraying than ever be fore will probably be practiced throughout the entire country. Grow ers are planning to increase food pro duction more through protection from plant diseases than larger plantings. in the next leg- ’’' " W" the contingency r ’ ■ of i candidate fo r re-election to the State Legislature, I realise that the next legislative assembly o f State will have a much heavier re sponsibility, and will have to fa « « and decile more grave issues than any session In many years. The war with Germany has put a great pressure up on the legislative function o f our country to the same extent that it has put the pressure upon the financial and economic systems. Our next le g islature must' make such laws as will best enable Oregon to do its part in our government’s war program. And more Important than this, it must not pass any laws which may impede or hinder our State in doing its part. Experimental legislation that may ob struct Oregon’s war work must be postponed until the emergency creat ed by the war is over. But it will generally take very careful and conscientious considera tion to determine whether a proposed bill will work out in accord with the policy above outlined. In making such determination it is true that each member has but one vote, togeth er with such influence as his record may command, but if he does his own thinking he is • very important fac tor because contested measures o f im port seldom pass with a m ajority of more than one or two votes. Realising that the next session .of ’ the Igeislature is o f more than ordin ary importance, I have canvassed the sentiment in tikis County very care fu lly before deciding to become a can didate for re-election. A written en dorsement was given me two weeks •go by twenty-five o f the most sub stantial and representative men o f Coos Bay, but I withheld by decision until -after receiving an expression, either personal or by mail, o f repre sentative men from all sections o f the County. The nature o f this ex pression has been such as to force the conclusion that the representative republicans o f Coos County have con fidence in my legislative work and favor my candidacy fo r re-election. I have therefore determined to run. I f elected I pledge the voters to work for such legislation as will clearly benefit Oregon in doing its war work and to oppose legislation that is likely to have a contrary e f fect. As to local legislation 1 can say, witMbut fear o f contradiction, that in the last session I hacT the repu tation of always fighting for Coos County, and this reputation I shall continue deserve. I f elected I srall give to my constituents the benefit o f one term’s experience and acquain tance with conditions and legislators there gained. Respectfully aubmit- ted.— C R. Peck.
