Labor Commissioner Hoff Explains Much adverse criticism having been made because of my determi nation to enforce the eight-hour law on public works, the same as other laws, I desire to answer so that the work of the Bureau, which is deal ing with what is today the greatest question before the American peo ple—the labor question, should not be hampered by wrong conclusions. The laws coming under my juris diction to enforce, like all laws, are enacted by the people of this state, either direct throught the initiative of by the legislature. I am not re sponsible for the same. When an act is passed it is either a good law, a faulty law or no law at all. If a good law, it should be enforced for its value; if it is a faulty law it should be enforced that the faults may be seen and cured; if no law at all, or its intent obscure, it is for the Supreme .Court to decide. I believe all good men and women on sober second thought wifi realize that it is my sworn duty to see that the laws are enforced. ‘ ‘Trimming” by officers settles nothing. I should know what the law means and the people whom it affects should know what it means. It is my duty to enforce the labor laws, and I believe the right thinking people of this state, when they understand the situation, will -back me up in doing so, but whether they do or not, believing I am right, I shall go ahead. C. P. Hoff State Labor Commissioner (Continued from page 1) Of course the few cents you may save on an article of merchandise, looks tempting. But in saving these few cents, you stand to lose dollars because of the lack of increase in the value of your property. Think about these matters friends, because you are vitally interested. Be loyal to your town, your mer chants and your neighbors; By so doing you will add to, rather than take from, bricks from your chim ney.

Almost every town of importance in the Willamette valley has a com mercial club. Would it not be a good plan for Sweet Home to fall in line in this respect.

Under the new law the Interstate Commerce Commission was given power to revise and fix their rates, and, following an inves tigation by the present Secretary Lane, that power was drastically exercised. At thè same time came the new parcel post, which the ex press companies’ lobby, under the late Senator Platt, had fought for years. It was time for humble pie. One of the companies, the Wells- Fargo, has left off talking òf con fiscations and murder, and gone practically to work to beat the gov ernment at its own game. It has organized a superior parcels service, especially for the collection and de livery of food products. This is a shrewd move. Industrial agents have been appointed for the princi pal cities. And their business will be to bring the farmer, the dairy man, and fruit grower in actual contact with the people of the cities. It is the elimination of the middle man; the direct from-the-producer- to-the-consumer business gain. It is computed that, roughly, on every dollar of food products the grower gets a quarter, the companies twenty cents, the wholesaler five cents. And the retailer gets half. Now the expressman will call at your door, take your order for so many, Sunflower eggs, so much Clover Leaf butter, so many Ramona oranges, and so on, and in due course these things are at your door. The company collects, takes its tqll and gives the balance to the pro ducer. This is intelligent warfare. The outcome will give valuable hints on the question of private efficiency vérsus collective effort. Incident ally, governmental competition is already doing good.—Ex.
