The following editorial, appearin in the Pendleton East Oregonian of recent date, logically and lucidly dis sects the protection angle of Mc- Nary-Haugenism: "The Saturday evening Post is up set about MeNary-Haugenism, so much so that last week it devoted its principal story to the subject and al so a page editorial. The country must be saved. . "It is only rural McNary-Haugen-ism, however, to which the Post ob jects; it makes no complaint against the industrial MeNary-Haugenism provided for by the high tariff act. The one and only purpose of the tar iff act, as everyone knows, is to keep domestic prices of protected good: above the world price. The act is chiefly for the benefit of industrial concerns that financially and in op- crating memous are tne strongest; in the world. In most cases they can meet competitors in any part of the world and run them ragged. Yet ac cording to their story they are so helpless that in the domestic market they must have protection against foreign competition. "The one and only purpose of the McNary-IIaugen bill is to raise the domestic price of farm staples above the world level. In principle and in purpose the farm bill and the tariff i act are the same. The differences in the two measures are mostly in fav or of the farm bill. It seeks to help people who have been seriously hurt by one-sided governmental interfer ence with business. They are com pelled by law to buy in a protected market while they sell in a competi tive market, something no one can do without feeling. Another differ ence between the two measures is that the tariff act provides outright protection for its beneficiaries while the farm bill seeks to make the farmer pay for his protection through an equalization fee that may become so high as to offset any protection. The general idea of the farm bloc is that the farmer pays for the banquet and should be allowed to attend. The McNary-IIaugen bill will give him admission and he will be seated if the places are not all taken. "To put the thing another way the tariff is a black bear. He is preda tory but he is sacred and hence must neither be chained up nor shot. Re cognizing the fact this sacred bear works harm to agriculture Senator McNary and others have tried to off set the evil by introducing a brown bear to do a little raiding on the other side of the fence. This brown bear is an unknown quantity but he might do something if given n chance. However the president gave him chloroform and the New Kngland maple sugar is safe for the present. "Those who believe in sound busi- i ncss and natural laws of trade have a right to criticise predatory legisla tion whether enacted in behalf of one group or another. Hut it is laughable to hear protectionists rail against the McNary-IIaugen bill for they mere ly denounce their own program. The fat and solemn losic of the Saturday Evening Post is not so good when you consider both sides of the story However that is the way bear hunt ing goes and lots of people cannot find the forest because of the trees." anyway, on the spur of the chief 3 order, went out and brought in gang ster Vincent Drucci dead, with four well directed bullets placed in his anatomy. That's what one would call Irish precision. Those fellows out at the Standard Oil plant have found time to beautify the grounds with a lawn, in addition to their daily dozens of other duties they find necessary to perform that they may draw a smile from an ex acting purchasing public. ! The Social Side "Blessings on thee, little man'' but no, 'tis the ladies who are get ting ready to go barefoot. In fact only a pair of high heeb covered with gingham cloth, will soon be be tween their tootsies and the ground. With the reservoir overflowing and fifteen feet of water in the' new city well, Billy Pinkerton has our permission to resume his former hab it of sleeping eight hours out of twenty-four. o That new law regulating supervis ion over tax assessments is surely being perforated. All that is left of t from schedule C on down, are the holes! I (By Adele McEwen) MRS. DUDLEY HONORED Mrs. Glen Dudley was honored at a bridge tea at the home of Mrs, Donald Robinson in Pendleton when Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Brook Dick son entertained a group of friends, Five tables were in play, Miss Thel ma Thompson making high score. What's the use of being taxed if we don't want to be taxed; witness eth what is being done to the law providing for supervision of assess ments. ENTERTAINED AT DINNER Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Vic Hirsch were entertained at a beautifully ap pointed dinner Tuesday evening. The tables were gay with vari-colored spring blossoms and covers were laid for twenty. Following dinner bridge was played, Mr. and Mrs. R. B.

HONOR GUESTS Miss Dorothy Lee and Miss Jaun ita Woodruff were honor guests at dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs E. M. Bollinger Wednesday evening. The table was centered with yellow jonquils and Easter favors marked the places. A group of friends were asked to call later as a surprise and the hours were passed playing games and competing in contests suggestive of Easter and April fool's day. At tractive prizes were presented to the winners. The hostess served delicious refreshments also carrying out the April fool idea. i 0 i i ii mere was apprehension as to Portland's ability to handle any fin ancial problem in proportion to its rapid growth and development that might be suddenly presented, it has been dispelled by the direct and un hesitating manner in which Portland capital came to tho rescue of a great banking institution and frustrated even the slightest ripple of doubt as to the solidity of Portland's financial standing, as compared with other cities of the Pacific coast. The cali bre of the men who are making Port land and backing Portland, is strik ingly exemplified in the directorate and stockholders of the Northwestern National Bank, who stood as one in the protection of the integrity of the Northwestern and against any loss whatever to its depositors, by should ering responsibility beyond what banking laws require of them, up to the point if necessary, of their full financial ability. All that is left Portland to do is to run to earth ami prosecute those responsible for the malicious misrepresentations that led to the closing of one of its great banking houses.
