FRIDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1916.
COMPULSORY SAVING.
. That high wages are demoralizing
the youth of Great Britain is the
opinion of its board of education.
Whereas, formerly 2 a week was
wealth to the average boy just out
of school, they are now earning five
times this amount and the reform
atory schools are so full that several
new ones have had to be built in all
parts of the country.
or which reason the London
Board of Trade is seriously consider
ing a measure of compulsory sav
ing, by which the youths will receive
only part of their wages in cash and
the rest in war savings certificates
which cannot be cashed until the
end of the war.
Tbe Idea has much to recommend
it, for statistics go to show that the
boys are wasting the bulk of their
earnings on picture shows, cigarettes
and candy. The war savings certif
icates carry 5 per cent interest and
are proving a glittering financial suc
cess to the vast majority of adult
wage earners who are fast becoming
capitalists under the system, volun
tary, not compulsory, of course.
If the Board of Trade adopts the
compulsory measure for boys under
18 as suggested, the certificates
would be non-negotiable, so that the
enterprising among them could not
sell their certificates to more shrewd
financiers.
Several big industries have already
adopted the idea by mutual arrange
ment with the boys, with definite
success. If the measure proves a
success In war time, something of
the kind might reasonably prove ad
vantageous in peace time. The world
Is learning some valuable lessons
from the conditions forced by the
war. Perhaps this will prove one of
the beneficial lessons.
It may be confidently predicted
that it will never be the same old
world again, and the effects of the
great struggle will be felt in all tbe
neutral as well as all belligerent nations.
GOLD AND PAPER.
(New York Sun.f
We on tho Atlantic seaboard think
wo know something about prosperity.
Cotton is bringing a royal price In
the south, and foreign trndo hits en
allied us to turn a pretty penny hero-
'.rr about. Hut hearken to the con
temptous snort with which the San
Francisco Chronicle dismisses our
beggarly shinplastera:
"There Is wealth in tho east,
but It is confined to the few,
and. in auy case, takes tho form
of paper money. This
is the only land on earth where
gold Is carried in the pocket as
looso change."
Why, money Is so dirt cheap in
'Kriscd that the railroad commission
has held that a five dollar gold piece
dropped into telephone slot by
mistake for a nickel "shall be treat
ed ai five cents and the remaining
$4.95 divided between the store and
tho telephone company, the former
recolvlng 11.98 and the latter 12.97."
Should such an accident occur in
New York, the Chronicle goes on to
observe, "If the victim did not faint
he would raise a rough-house or try
to pry open (he telephone box, what
time the store proprietor would be
turning In a riot call or sending for
the fire department." And there
would be such another rapid recall
of a commissioner's decisions, accel
erlated even by tar. feathers and
rails, as not even the vivid imagina
tion of the west could picture.
But such a sensation could never
occur here. It is true, even as the
Chronicle jeeringly twits us, our
riches are but miserable scraps of
paper. ho of us knows what a
five dollar gold piece looks like?
A SQUARE DEAL.
(By Theodore Roosevelt.)
We must recognize, as modern
Germany has recognized, that It is
folly either to try to cripple business
by making it ineffective or to fall
to insist that the wageworker and
consumer must be given their full
share of the prosperity that comes
from the successful application and
use of modern industrial Instrumen
talities. Both capitalists and wage
workers must understand that the
performance of duties and the enjoy
ments go hand in hand. Any shirk
ing of obligation toward the nation,
and toward the people that make
up the nations, and toward the peo
ple that make up the nation, deprives
me otienaers ot all moral right to
the enjoyment of privileges of any
kind. This applied alike to corpor
ations and to labpr union's, to rich
men and poor men, to big men and
little men.

' IS PORTLAND TOO LATE?
(Harney County Tribune.)
Portland, seemingly, has come out
of its "slothlike hibernation" and
started wheels moving that may ben
efit this part of the state, so long
neglected by the big city of the
Willamette.
We have it straight that the Cham
ber of Commerce of Oregon's metrop
oils has endorsed resolutions promls
Ing aid to eastern and central Ore
gon.
Passing resolutions will not buy
Portland anything. It will have to
get busy quickly, too. If It keeps the
big volume of trade that the central
part of the state demands and must
have In order to make the wheels of
development go round
Suppose the resolutions passed by
the Chamber of Commerce of Port
land materialize in something tang
ible, whereby It will benefit this
pari or tne state. Have the reso
lutions come too late? Boise and
Salt Lake have made a good bid for
the trade that Portland bag enjoyed
for, lo, these many years. This coun
try of vast undeveloped fields is go
ing to take Boise and Salt Lake at
their word and will let them help
us if they mean business. Portland
has spilled so many kettles of beans
and thrown so many monkey-wrenches
Into the working machinery of
Eastern Oregon, that It is doubtful
If - the people of this section will
even give Portland one more chance.
An example of what we may ex
pect from Portland, was forcibly ill
ustrated to us at the election Just
passed, when Pendleton made a fair
and holiest, bid for a normal school,
which the eastern part of tin; state
nefeds. Portland threw Its groat
strength against this measure,
n Kill list something Eastern Oregon
Hliould have. It makes no difference
.whether It was Pendleton, linker or
I.a Grande, the result would have
been the mime. The . country east of
t lie Cascades was asking for recogni
tion, mid received what it expected
from Portland.
Now conies the announcement that
the big city Is Tenlly willing to help.

Santa Onus was to make bis record

me that the United States, as up to

should be so provincial and behind
the times when It conies to wearing
a wrist watch."
"That's Just like It, Nick dear

of a person you know. On the other
