Since the Interruption of friendly
relations with Germany, the making
of dyes has become one of our most
exuberant infant Industries. Freed
from tbe domination of Teutonic ani­
line, endowed by the ruthleeaness of
war with some of the enemy’s most
cherished trade secrets, spurred to
greater efforts by patriotism plus
the bope of profits, the American dye
makers have gone to work in earnest.
To Judge from each year’s list of
new tints, some of which have be­
come fashionable and most of which
have been soothing to tbe optic
nerve, originality and good taste are
at work In tbe dye business.

The British and the French gov­
ernments have concluded an agree­
ment regarding the division of tbe
late war’s oily spoils. In Mesopo­
tamia, in Persia, Rumania and Ga­
licia the French government obtains
a quarter interest in all oil ventures
fostered by the British government;
in northern Africa, Asia Minor and
French Indo-China the government
in turn agrees to give the British a
twenty-five per cent Interest in its
petroleum promotions.. .'The quarter
interest entitles tbe governments re­
ceiving it to one-fourth of the oil
company's output. Tbs two govern­
ments also agreed that the nationals
of the one should be entitled to buy
oil in fields controlled by tbe other
at the current market price without
discrimination.
Uncle Samuel at present produces
sixty per cent of all tbe world's oil
output.
In tbe petroleum realm
America is BOSS.
Yet American
ships are denied fuel oil in many
foreign ports; when they receive a
scant supply— often of American oil
— out of foreign tanks after long and
expensive delays, they are compelled
to pay far more than , the price
charged tbe shipping of other na­
tions.
Isn’ t it about time that the world’s

smile and tell tbe world that be will

son why?
He’s got the oil. Other nations
must have it. I f Congress should
enact a law giving the president the
power to levy an export tax on all
oil or coal products going to foreign
nations which gouge American ship­
ping by charging discriminatory
rates for oil and coal controlled by

ships in foreign ports would come

or at least our national pastime.
This is especially true in regard to
our governmental affairs, national,
state, county and city, and just see
what Geoige has done in many casse.
So now Is the Very best time to tarn
over a new leaf and do some o f t in
things properly that George has neg­
lected to do at all. To be sneelflfe,
let us become educated on the merits
or demerits o f some of the bille to
come up for consideration before the
people of Oregon this election.
There are some very tmportant
ones that should be studied carefully
before voting, yes or np, on them.
There are some that being carried
might mean a great retarding of tbe
development of this great state o f
ours. And, on the other hand, there
are others that to kill them might

opment of many important indus­

measures to be brought before the
