One year ....... ., .'.J2.00 Six months 1.00 Three months..- BO TllUUSDAY, AUGUST 7, 1910. BOLSHEVIK. In a local newspaper n repre sentative of the Timber workers' junlon, writing ot the wngo scale which tho union Is now demanding, says:' "I would suggest that wo arc asking only a part ot tho value, not 'nil of tho value, of tho product which wo produce. It would not bo practical at this time to entorco tho demand Buch as suggested nbovo hut wo do ask for n living wage." No one can object to a request for a living wage whero ono Is not being paid. Tho ordinary diffi culty, and tho difficulty which wo assumo exists In tho present mat ter, Is tho definition ot tho term "living wage." That, however, Is a small matter compared with tho implication that ultimately n de mand Is to bo nindo for all ot the value of tho product produced. Tho question of a living wage is ono of immediate interest and importance; any plan to demand "all tho valuo of tho product" goes beyond and deeper into tho very foundations ot our American life. It is Bolshe vism, puro and simple, and we aro entitled to know if tho words repre sent tho serious and well considered Ideas of the writer and thoso for whom ho acts. Tho prcamblo of tho Timber workers' constitution, quoted by tho writer, states that the organization exists "In order to securo to our selves and tho futuro generations a Just and.equltablo portion ot the wealth which wo produce." That is American. It calls for a just and equitable division.- It is In keeping with the Ideas of tho new era of Industrial relationships. And it does not suggest that nt any time "all of tho value of the product" Is tqjjo demanded. Tho American Federation of La bor does not stand for any such program. Wo doubt If , any Bend union affiliated with the American Federation has any such leanings. They aro not Bolshovlk; "they aro American. And we bcllovo they are not waiting for tho practical time to enforce any demand for "all tho value of tho product" they produce. cause ho timber ot tho south is becoming exhausted and tho com pany to looking for a Biipply for tho future. Statistics havo recently boon printed showing hat tho plno milts ot tho south will havo finished tliolV cut In n f,ow yonrs, Operatorn who aro getting through thoro aro in tho same position as tho Wis consin nnd Minnesota lumbermen, who turned tholr oyos to Orogon and Washington ns thoy wiw tholr tlmbor going. They nro all look tug to tho northwost now. With tho greatost body ot stand ing tlmbsr In tho country, 'the northwest in a tow years will be furnishing tho lumbar ot tho whole country. . A DUTY, t Slowly but suroly Central 'Oregon Is" coming into its own as a country of tremendous attraction to tourists and sportsmon. Casual visitors havo been passing on tho word for some time; now, apparently, wo are to havo some publicity from a man who, 'knowing many other part3 of tho "country, finds that hero there aro things which mako us stand out ahead of the rest; All this is flno. Wo aro all of us glad to havo tho country better known. It means moro buslnoas nnd moro dovehbpment. Wo have an opportunity to sec now people and to brush up against the outside world in tho persons of our visitors. It, is good in many ways. A POOIt SPOUT. Tho Oregon Votor has finally taken nnttco ot tho Injustice It did G. H. linker when It discussed tho results of tho special election ot last June, nnd in Its latest Issue offers n rather wobbly apology. Tho Voter is unablo to coma up man fashion nnd say It was wrong, ns will bo scon by reading tho nrtlclo which Is headed "Wo Apologize and Suggest," nnd having tailed to in dict Mr. Baker lu his homo county, now makes now charges ot Injuries dono elsewhere. Says tho Voter: "It seems that tho Bend Commer cial club passed resolutions con demning tho Oregon Voter for hav ing said "that In splto ot the knocking of tho reconstruction bonding bill by Bond's member ot tho Land Settlement commission, Deschutes led Eastern Oregon lu behalf ot that measure, nnd guvo ono ot tho highest percentages In tho stntc, which suggests that Bond hasn't much uso for n knocker." Tho resolutions were not committed to writing, It seems, nnd Tho Votor has not recoived n copy ot them. Discovering n hint in Tho Bend Bulletin that Tho Votor wns expect ed to apologize for something, The Votor made Inquiry ns to what was up. "From II. J. Overturf, manager of tho Bend Commercial club, we received tho information, which in dicates that we did Mr. Q. II. Baker an Injustice. Baker Is Bond's mora ber of tho land settlement commis sion. Shortly after tho commission was nppointed, Mr. Bakor was wide ly quoted throughout tho press ot the stato in an interview condemn ing the supposed policy of tho com mission - to which -ho was named. According to Mr. Overturf: " 'Tho Bend Commercial club con ferred with Mr. Baker In tho mnt ter of tho proposed administration ot the bill and felt that his position was sound. They therefore ex pressed confldonco In his attltudo ot Insisting that tho bill bo applied without camouflage, a bill for th roturnsd soldier, sailor and ma rine. He reported to the club that tho rest .of tho commission did nod stand tor the tulmlnltt ration of the bill for ths benefit of theM people. He might have bean hasty, but ha wa3 rigrft, we thousht. As ovldsasa ot his good fHith, lie got out and worked for the paasar.e ot tho bill as It was referred to the people and there Is no question by thai his attitude was largely responsible for the favorable vote on the hill in this county. I felt that the mis statement of the, facts by The Votor impalrod the usefulness of Mr. Bakor on the commission, and at my suggestion tho Bend Commer- 7-YEAR-OLD COW CHAMPION XrUK PRODUCER && .T ' :& fijSujEfl Special Offering In Oak Dining Room Set A sovon-yoar-old cow weighing 1015 pounds, claims to bo tho champion milk producer of tho world.

THE NOUTHWEST TIMBER. - Tho announcement, in the Klam ath Falls Herald, that tho Long-Boll company, of Kansas City, has pur chased 70,000 'acres ot timber land In northern California Is ot especial Interest t,o thoso who aro watching tho tlmbor development ot tho northwest. v .Originally, wo believe, tho Lorig Boll qdnlpany had Its chief tlmbor .resources In tho south. Of lato years, liow,e,vor; it has been coming into Orogia'tl und California to ac quire., thljer, , So, last year, ;)t bought ,MP, Pfioth-Kelly tract to tho north ot Klamath Falls, and now , we rend, of another largo body Jot WrJ$$d fo'r f uturf n illlngj . The reason for this 1s not that - ivrr , 'th a.'cOi Ji any''thhktf that itWwoUr i'ern timber is more desirable tlWij other like reason. It Is simply bo- "The Votor is glad to learn that Mr. Buker worked In good faith in nls home county for the bill which he did so much to discredit through out tho state and Is glad to give him credit for his spirit In so do ing. The-Voter, also apologizes for having dono Mr. Bakor tho injustice of assuming that ho had injured the bill in his homo county merely because ho previously had Injurod It throughout the stute. May The Voter nlso suggest that if Mr. Baker has not entirely corrected tho In justlco ho did to his follow mem bers ot tho land settlement commis sion by hla representations as out lined by Mr. Ovorturf, that in fair ness to those membora ho endeavor to seo that thoy are placed in tho right light before tho Bond Com mercial club and tho readers of Tho Bom1 Bulletin? Wo havo no doubt that tho samo spirit ot fair ness that prompted Mr. Bakor to work for tho hill ho previously In jured and helped defeat will Impel him to set his fellow commissioners right before his local constituency. The injustice ho did them reflected upon tholr patriotism and honesty, Which was a far moro serious re flection than that incorrectly made upon Mr. Bakor by Tho Voter," ' Jfi other words, the Votor, havr 1ng found Itsolf 'wrong, tries to find something else- to complain about, A poor sport, wo say. THE CIUCLE. Apparently there's 110 tolling whero this price business Is going to stop, but It things koop on as they nro going now it will nover stop. In tho news today Is nn Horn reporting that railroad men nro seeking "very substantial increases" In wages. If thoy nro grunted, tho railroads will then require "vory substantial Increases" In freight rates In order to meet the higher wages. "Very substantial Incrosseu" In freight rates will cause "vory substantial Increases" In the cost ot things morod by freight and that In turn will mean "very substantial Increases" in the cotU of living. Then "vory substantial Increases" In wages will bo sought again to meet tho higher cost of living, nnd the whole clrclo will bo gone around ngnln. Some time tho clrclo must break nt the point wbsro someono Is get ting too high a prollt. W15 do not pretend to know whero that point Ib, but we trust that the break may como quickly.
