THE INTEREST MEASURE
Everybody w h o has occasion
to borrow money and there nro tow
of us who do. -not Is Interested 'to
bco that tho price, ho has to pay tor
tho use of that money Is ns low as
possible. All consumers like to seo
low priced sugar, shoes, houses, food
and money. To get cheap money,
however, by such means ns tlio In-
itlAtlvo measuro to bo voted on li
November, limiting tho rate of Inter
est In Oregon to 4 per cent, or to C
por cent by contract, Is ns feasible
as to got moro sunshine by n statuto
limiting tho hours of darkness.
Fosslbly, If this measuro should bo
enacted, and If all tho money In tho
state nt tho tlmo hnd to rcmatn hero,
Its owners would bo glad to tako 4
per cent for Its use. But that, nny
person knows, Is not possible. Money
does not havo to stay whero It Is. It
seeks tho best market. Enact this
measure .and money will pour out of
Oregon to states whore thero Is no
such fool attempt to regulate eco
nomic law.
Furthermore, as Is well known,
thero is not enough money In Oregon
today to carry on tho commercial and
industrial development that wo look
to for our future Increased prosper
ity. Not only would the existing
liquid capital of the state leave it if
interest rates wero limited ns pro
posed but at once the hitherto steady
flow of capital Into tho state from
outside money centers would ceaso
and development would end.
Hero in Bend scores of houses havo
been built In the past few years with
money borrowed at 10 per cent. Will
the companies which have loaned
money hero for building purposes
loan at 4 per cent when they have the
-whole Northwest to operate in, with
no such limit on their rates?
To be cheap, money must bo plen
tiful. If those who favor this low
interest measure will devote their
time to thrift Instruction and tho
saving of money they will do some
thing -for their state. What they
now propose would do something to
the state namely, play hell.
WHAT'S THE USE?
"VJJhat's tho use?
Here wo are, trying to make the
country moro attractive for tourists,
tho forest service is opening new
country nnd the city is going to clean
unsightly messes of tin cans and oth
er refuse from the borders of tho
highways, and it seems as though
things were going to bo better when
in comes a report that a loan of tin
cans has just been dumped in some
new spot.
We .repeat it. What's the uso?
There's a place for tin cans, and It
1b not along the highway. Havo
those who continue to offend In this
way no sense of civic pride or public
decency? Have .they no interest In
tho improvement of our resources?
Do they not realize that they benefit
along with everybody else when
people aro attracted to our country
and that they lose with us all when
conditions aro such as to send them
away with criticism on their lips?
Wo can only argue and plead. Will
others help by reporting instances of
can-dumping on a highway? Then
an effort will be rnndo to stop tho
practice by other methods than argu
ment and pleading.
What'stho use, either, of'trying to
teach people to put out their camp
fires before leaving? One would
enpposoenough had been said and
enough signs posted to impress on
ovoryono the need of care in this re
gard, and yet six campers at East
lake over -the holiday left dungerous
fires burning. Did thoy feol that
they had. had their duttng and it
rnndo no difference to them what
happened to the woods thereafter?
Possibly they -will novor visit tho lake
again, but do they want to spoil
things for Hho next man?
THE COMMERCIAL CLUB PLAN
In Its main features the plan for
tho reorganization of tho Commer
cial club proposed at yesterday's
meeting is no different from that
agreed upon by a committee appoint
ed in December, 1918, and reported
to tho club at that time. The com
mittee then recognized that.it was
impossible to depend. on active and
continuous effort on the part of
members" Who wero busy wRbj their
own 'iit&irs", and that f beVonly way
In "which tho 'club's work could bo
carried on successfully was through
n paid mnnngor or socrotnry. Tho
commltteo also recognised, nnd point
ed out in Its report, Just ns tho
prcsont commltteo has pointed out,
that tho employment of a paid man
ager monut that moro rovonuo would
bo needed. It then rcconunoiulod
that tho club consider whether It
wanted to mnko tho effort to obtain
tho necessary Increased rovonuo, tho
question wnh referred to n commlt
teo and novor hoard from again.
Undoubtedly thin Is tho thing for
tho club to do that Is, to employ
competent mnnnger. Tho only ques
tions nro whether tho commercial
Interests of tho city aro sufficiently
interested to put up tho necessnry
funds and whether, from tho prcsont
membership, there can bo selected n
COhunUtuo thot will arrange to get
thoso' funds.
On tho general plan of club gov
ernment, assignment of commltteo
work nnd preparation of constitution
nnd by-laws. It would seem deslrnblo
to profit, so far ns possible, from tho
experience of other communities
whero commercial clubs or chambers
of commerce are In successful opera
tion rather than to try to dovlso
something now nnd orlglnnl. Corre
spondence with such communities
would securo this Information, or tho
club might well enlist tho services
of tho American Cities Bureau, which
has an ndmlrnblo record In tho work
of Installing modern methods in com
mercial club work.
COOL COURAGE
Although there nro frequent occa
sions when the courso of tho Port
land Oregontan seems to proceed In
ways of narrow provincialism and Its
policies to be directed by selfish ex
pediency, It frequently rises to
heights of real journalistic greatness
that give It Its commanding position
In tho Northwest. Wo nro led to
theso observations by a recent edi
torial concerning Senator Harding's
position on the Lcaguo of Nations.
Tho Orcgonlnn Is supporting Hard
ing for tho presidency. It has also
given Its allegiance to tho Lenguo of
Nations Idea. With Cox accepting
the Wilsonlan league, bait, hookand
sinker, Harding, In developing tho
Issue, has gradually come to stand
on tho other extreme. A few days
ago the Orcgonlnn noted this fact and
indicated its concern.
AH this may seem a bit trivial,
but to us it nppears a thing of real
moment nnd in refreshing contrast to
the attitudes of the other largor
state papers. Hero Is tho leading
republican newspaper of tho stato of
fering criticism of Its party- candi
date becauso he has taken a stand on
an Issue different from thnt which
tho newspaper believes Is right. Tho
Oregonlan has not kept still, nor yet
tried to gloss over. It has had its
convictions -and the courage to speak
them.
Thero's nnother Portlnnd paper
that would dilate on tho remarkable
whiteness of black If its party can
didate once asserted that black was
white.
THE COX CHARGES
We have waited with Interest to
seo how James M. Cox was going to
deliver the goods on his charge tint
tho republicans hnd their plans all
made to raise a huge fund with v.'lch
to buy tho presidency; Fortunatoly
a senato committee has been avail
able to go Into tho charges at once,,
and it has done so. According to
all that hoji so far come before tho
committee there were no goods to
deliver, and Cox has been shown to
havo been mistaken to put it most
mildly and generously.
Tho charges wero made unequivoc
ally. Mr. Cox did not hesitate over
them in any way. Indeed, 'the man's
ass.uranco and apparent self-confidence
gavo them their greatest
weight. Now the facts aro told. Tho
Cox proof Is not forthcoming. The
charges fall flat.
The republican committee Is try
ing to raise from $3,000,000 to $4,r
000,000 for the legitimate nnd neces
sary expenses of Its campaign. Un
less thoso members of tho commltteo
who have testified aro plain liars,
they havo no Idea of seeking tho
larger sum mentioned by tho demo
cratic nominee.
Can we not havo a campaign on a
higher piano thau-Mf, Cox yet seems
willing to place It?
Tuesday will see, In the words of
that gifted author und eminent play
wright, William, Shakespeare, tho

shining morning faco, creeping like
snail unwillingly to school.'.'

CUT OFF PIES' SHATti5 TUSKS
Quito Often These Teeth Lacerate
Sow's Teats nd She Won!Jt;Let
Young ttere Suck.--
Pigs nro born with four sharp hard
tusks, two nbovo nnd two below. Take
a pair of nlpperi you can find tltPtn
nt almost nny hardware store and
cut the four shnrp tusks off, nut ton
nenr the gums. Quito often thci-c
tucks cut the sow's tents, make them
fore nnd fhe will not let tho pigs suck
Then, also, tho pigs cut themselves
with those tusks, nnd sometimes stick
them through their tongtip nnd can
not suck, nnd starve. They often
cause sore mouth. Be sure to cut
them off. They are soft nnd easily
removed. A, pair of aliarp scissors
will do. Do not try to pull them out,
but cut them off.
If you sec a jls that Is getting too
fnt, you will know It Is robbing Its
mates. To prevent this-, take n Mmrp
knife and cut Its rooter In two or
three places, deep enough to make It
sore, nnd It will stop It.
CARING FOR WEANING LAMBS
If to Oe Kept for Breeding Purposes
They Should Be Put In Qood,
Fresh Pastur.
If lambs nro sold from Ihreo to five
months of age they may run with their
dams until that time. Tho lambs to be
kept for breeding purpose should bo
weaned 'at the snuie tltnu and put on
fresh pastures whero thoro Is no dan.
ger of stomach worms. When Iho
weaning Is done nt till time tho ewes
can bo put In better condition- for tho
fall breeding. Ham lamb left In
the flock worry the ewes nnd piny get
some of them In Inmb. When Inmbs
are to be kept on the farm the belt
method of weaning Is to leave them on
the old pnsturo for threo or four days
und remove tho ewes to n scanty pas
ture to check their milk flow. Ah
soon ns the lambs cease fretting for
thrlr damn they mny bo moved to fresh
pastures wheie tho ewes have not
been. Ewes w tilt largo udders should
bo partially milked onco every three
days until they go dry.
