THE A U R O R A O B S E R V E R THUFSDAY, SEPTEMBER 4V 1,919. ______________ N. C. WESCOTT - - * „ - * E ditor and P ublisher E itered as second class matter March 28, 1911, at, the postoffice at Aurora Oregon, under the A ct o f March 3, 1879. TH E S U G A R SITU ATIO N The limiting of local sugar purchases to one dollar sales caused some people to become panicky. There is no reason for this. The Federal sugar equalization board which handles the distribution of sugar throughout the country sends the Oregon federal food administrator the following telegram: “ There is apparently sufficient sugar to supply normal requirements until new beet and Porto Rico sugars come on the market. But buying should be confined to actual needs and not to anticipation of the distant future. Un necessary buying and hoarding will create the exact situ ation that must be prevented.” No one should buy more sugar than they need for present use. Local dealers can at present buy but five sacks at a time, and wholesalers will not fill frequent or ders. There is no reason for consumers to become panicky or peevish. There is enough sugar for all human needs— but not for the sugar hogs. Buy for present needs. Buy ing more is hoarding, depriving your neighbor of his right ful share, and making you own cousin to the food profiteer. The Thrift movement today is America’s chief bul wark against the threatened invasion of the political and economic experiments that are now sweeping Europe. Thrift and economy as exemplified in savings invested in the securities of the United States promises to restore America to that clear thinking and sturdy independence which characterized the men who founded the Republic. The thrifty, saving, independent man has no patience with those who would tear down America. The war sav ings certificates are better to invest in now. than during the war. It is our duty to support the government’s cam paign of Thrift and Americanism with the same unfalter ing patriotism that carried America on to Victory. Back in 1899, when hostility between the Americans and the Filipinos prevailed, incident to the taking over of the Philippines, Andrew Carnegie approached President McKinley and offered to reimburse the United States Government for the $20,000,000 paid to Spain in consider ation of the cession of the Philippines, requesting at the same time that he be sent; to the Philippines to carry the news that Philippine independence would soon be granted. His offer was, of course, declined and his request denied— a most fortunate thing for the Philippines, though some day the Filipinos should be (and doubtless will be) granted their independence. With the development of the berry industry comes the activity of the promoters proposing to“ develope and sell” fruit tracts. It is announced not only fruit but nut lands will be “ developed Oregon has passed through one per iod of the developement and sale of fruit'land—the prune, apple and pear period—and it is to be hoped that an ampli fied blue sky Taw may protect the public and the good name of the state from another, for without doubt the activities of the real estate sharks of the 1900-1910 period gave Oregon a black eye from which it will require years to recover. I „ % The Boston Symphony Orchestra is no more. Dr. Karl Muck, its former leader, is a deported alien enemy on his way to Europe, and twenty-nine other members of the orchestra were interned during the war for pro-Ger man activities. Dr. Muck was unlucky enough to be caught. Otherwise he might be still carrying on his nefarious designs. Congress after over three months of arduous labors has almost passed the law repealing the “ soda water tax” which is bringing $20,000,000 a year into the treasury. So far congress has earned the title the Democratic spell binders are seeking to saddle uppn it—the “ soda water congress.” If it will repeal the tax on loganberry juice, Oregon will gladly add the title of “ the Loju Congress.” The Clackamas county fair is A uroral “ home fairi’al- most as much as though we lived in Clackamas county. County lines cut no figure in such matters^ We should encourage and support the Canby fair as though it were our own—by exhibiting oar products and attending the fair as many days as we can. The railroad deficit is steadily mounting up at the rate of $2,000,000 a day, in spite o f sharp increases in freight and passenger rates. The burden of this deficit falls upon the taxpayers and consumers, and contributes in no small degree to Jhe increased cost of living. THE A B 0 OF THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS By DR.
