Two hundred and slxty-ilvo inll ll'pn pounds of meat, canned by tho MB packers wid sold to Jho raY de partment for .tnp .use. of 'American soldiers, but no longer needed, nro to bo kept off the market nt tho re quest of tho packers. They fear that it It Is sold It will "sorlously affect prices." This may to good argument for tho packers, but It thoro Is anything the American peoplo want todny more than anything else It Is some thing hat will seriously affect prices prices of most everything, Including meat. They would wcl- Nimn n reduction In tllO PriCO Of I meat. They would like meat at n low cents less per pound than what they aro paying now. During tho war, while tho packers were putting up thrso millions of pounds of meat for tho army, tho law of supply and demand operated on what was loft and prices went up, up, up, until many an American homo was observing meatless days at tho demand of Mr. Pockotbook, to say nothing of Mr. Hoover. "Wo wero told that when tho war was over prices would begin to drop, but at tho first sign of a cbanco to lower meat prices along como the packers and persuado tho war department to keep off tho market tho meat that made us pay high prices a year ago and might let' us pay lower prices now. Wo havo no especial Interest In seeing tho meat packers lose money, but It Is Interesting, JLp say tho least, to soo tho tender solicitude shown for their profits by the government. Most other "businesses havo to tako their chances with the law of sup ply and demand. Tho packers sus pend tho operation of tho law when it affects them. Wo havo never noticed any hesita tion on the'part.of the forest service to place timber on the market when ever they were ready and without reference to the general lumber situation. WHY A BOND ELECTION? In spite of the factthat tho Cen tral Labor council and tho Commer cial club, with practical unanimity, havo placed themselves on record In favor of caring for tho city's unfortu nate financial condition by q suffi cient tax lovy rather than by a bond Issue, the city council Is proceed ing blithely on its way to order a bond election. Why does it do so? If the Labor council and the Com mercial club have any Influence; If their opinion menus anything, tho proposed bond issue will be defeated, as It should be. If tho bond issue is defeated wo Bhall have wasted two months, more time will bo necessary in which to prepare for a tax elec tion, and tho city's creditors will be going still longer without tlrolr funds. Wo do not argue that tho Com mercial club and the Labor council aro tho wholo city. They are far from being that. So Is tho city council far from being the whole city. But tho first two bodies are somewhat larger than the latter and may fairly bo said to bo more repre sentative. In proceeding with plans for a bond issue tho council is op posing the ideas of a considerable number of citizens and making it less llkoly that our financial situa tion will bo cleared up as promptly as It should be. If tho council Is In better touch with tho feeling of the voters on this matter than wo think It Is it may know, that its proposed bond issue will carry. If it has no insido in formation It is simply acting con trary to the wishes of tho peoplo so far as they have been expressed, putting tho city to unnecessary ex penso and d&laylng unreasonably tho proper settlement of our financial difficulties'. PATRIOTISM NOT DEAD. Tho Victory loan haB been over subscribed In city, stato and nation. The result is nn answer to tho pes simists Who said that patriotism wns dead and that it would bo imppsslble to float a fifth loan for war purposes. It is true that cities and states that Jn former loans wero ablo to annouBco'that they ha,d reached thpl quotas on ono 01 uiu uroi mw uujro of the campaign thUjUnin took n IKllO longer, uui wu un o fkole kept to Its ordinary gait, It ws a billion or so behind on the (Wt to the last day and a billion or so over whon tho books closed. Hero in Bond wo woro' slow, but our subscriptions camo nearer to be ing voluntary subscriptions than on any previous drlvo and to that cxtont nil tho moro patriotic. This tlmo thoro wns no Individual rating pro pared, no solicitors woro sont out, absolutely nothing dono thnt might savor of compulsion, practically no organization work. A fow mnss meetings woro hold which woro marked by small subscriptions. But day by day peoplo wont to tho banks and signed for bonds, and Bend wont ovor tho top. Where thoro wns any organization, ns nt tho saw mills, tho coniplolo subscription was mado In a fow hours. Patriotism Is not dead la Bond. BUILD NOW! Business? fcoradltcb digging to banking; ri'cedf'bWldlug tis a stimu lus at this. time. Building Invest ments, If mado with reasonable pru dence aro enhanced In vnluo with tho Incrcaso of population. A universal building program means moro to tho United States right now than at any time in Us his tory. It means Individual efficiency for labor; It means increased produc tion In nil correlated industries; it means Increased tnatorlal domnnds until production reaches tho quantify production lovol necessary for reduc ing unit costs; eventually, It means lower prices. Tho country Is tho soundest, healthiest, wealthiest In tho world. If you need a homo or n building, do not hcsltnto a day longer in going to work on It. Prices will not bo lower until pro duction Is Increased; costs will not go down 4 until quantity production normlts us to avail ourselves of tho economy of tho maximum efficiency of labor and machinery. To Incrcaso labor efficiency, to In crcaso production, to lower prices BUILD NOW. A local nowspapor says that tho dlffcronco between tho city's digging ud cash and paying Its bills and putting the debt in a now form by issuing refunding bonds Is tho dif ference between tweedledeo and twcedlc-dum. Just tho dlfferenco be tween a receipted bill and a promis sory note. Persons familiar with tho fprmer much prefer them to tho latter, and that Is why Tho Bulletin favors paying tho city's bills by n tax instead of a bond Issue. It wns recently reported thnt a quantity of wheat was to bo brought Into tho United States from Canada by the fcdoral grain administration. Now In tho weekly newsletter from the department of agricujture, it is prophesied that tho coming wheat crop of the United States may congest all storage. With tho prospects of such a crop coming it might bo well to hold off on wheat Importation un til existing stocks were completely cleared up. Beforo that canned army meat Is sent abroad to feed tho poor It might bo well to soo whether or not there aro any poor In tho United States who aro going without meat. Tho tlmo for Germony to consider whether or not penco terms might be onerous was before she started to conquer the world, back In 1914. Own your home. Don't pay rent. If you build you aro not billed. Tho short very long. skirt was not worn SWAT THE FLY. Havo you a llttlo garbage pail on your back porch? Has it a cover? If not you aro breeding flics to carry filth into your house and Into your neighbor s house. It may bo that you do not caro for yourself. ,v You may liko flies in and on your food. i But have a heart for your neigh bor. Cover tho garbage pall. Screen tho porch. Swat tho Fly. Tho other day wo tried something In tho lino of tho 10 llttlo Injun verso. Now comes oeorgo iiarvoy, In Harvey's Weekly, with the same Idea, but much better done, as fol lows; "Five Peace Commissioners behind n close-locked door; Ono asked raco equality, and then thoro wero but four. Four Penco Commissioners discuss ing Adrla'a Sea; Ono demanded Flume, and then there woro but three. Three Peaco Commissioners wondor-i ing what to do; One went homo to end a strlko, nnd nnd then thoro woro but two. Two Peaco CommlBulonera with & ' treaty not half dono; Ono said; "May I not got out?" nnd , then thoro was but ono.

Dnto of Htnto Klectlnn Rejected When Council Relievos Bonds Will Hnvo Ilea tfhiinca If Turnout at Polls In Xot-Ttx) lnto. Bolloving that n bond .lasuo hnv number ot Iloiul citizens "voting on it ts relatively sumll, tho city council, In special session Inst' night, nut Tuesday, May 27, ns tho dato for tho election. It had boon suggested that tho matter could bo presented to tho peoplo on Juno 3, whon vurlous stalo and county questions will bo up, but Mayor Hastes demurred, iiBBertlng that too many peoplo would bo at tho polls It tho stato nnd county dato woro. used. Councilman McPhorson pointed out that It would bo good practical pol itics to hold tho election beforo tho state nnd county voting, and Council man Rhodes wns ot tho samo beltof. Councilmon Benson and Sutherland had nothing to say on tho subject, but nil voted In favor of May 27 as tho tlmo tor tho special election. Councilman Pnyno was not present. Tho discussion followed tho raising ot tho question as to whether the polling ot n Inrgo or small voto would glvo tho best opportunity for tho passing ot tho bond Issue. The, plan to Issuo bonds to pay off tho city's debt for current oxpenses of past years was adopted several weoks ago by tho city council In the faco of votes tnken by .the Bend Commercial club and tho Central Labor council, in which direct taxa tion wns strongly supported as tho most advisable means ot ruining funds to placo tho city's finnnc.es an n cash basis. Tho greater part of tho meeting was taken up with tho reading or minutes of provlous meetings boar Ing on tho bond question. Put It in THE BULLETIN." BOARD IGNORES SOLDIER NEEDS (Continued from Pago 1.) It was proposed to spend 0000 for the land and then to orcct modol buildings, estimated two years ago to cost 12000, iosi inurroMiiiMuii. Mr. Scuddor thought that tho present cost would bo perhaps 20 per cent. more. Mr. Baker, from his personal experience ns n carpenter and builder, feels that tho Incrcaso will bc-lienror 100 por cent. Then thcro will bo other costs, bringing' tho total ovor $10,000. Similar projects aro to cost about tho same as this first one. Questions from Mr. Bakor elicited tho Information thnt tho leadorn In tho movement expected, whon theso model farms woro established, to soil them to eastern popplo who were looking for western farm homes, tak ing, say, $5000 down, securing tho balanco ot tho purchase prlco by mortgago, and thoreby establishing a revolving fund for tho continuation of tho work. This is apparently nccordlng to schedule as worked out as far bnck as two years ngo, when Mr. 8cudder's farm houso was figured to cost $2000 and boforo tho returned soldier be en nio a problem. To Champion ficrvlco Men. Commissioner Bakor's questions, which ho put up to tho commission at Its next meeting, wero: "What about tho soldier and tho sailor and tho marine who aro mentioned so frequently In tho act? .Hor-many returned soldiers havo $C000 with which to mako tho first paymenC on one of theso model farms? How long will,. It bo boforo a farm will be In shape' to bo sold? What oppor tunity will actually bo given a soldier under this procccduro to acquire u farm homo?" Something to soli?
