MORROW COVSTT OFFICIAL PAPER Thursday, January, 7, 1915. THE MEN OF THE EMDEX. What matter if you Be stanch and true To the British blood in the veins of you. When it's "hip hurrah!" for a deed well done, For a fight well fought and a race well run What matter if you be true? Hats off to the Emden crew! Theirs was the life of the storm-god's folk, Uncounted miles from the Father land, With a foe beneath every wisp of smoke. a q menace in every strip of strand. Up, glasses! Paul Jones was but one of these. Hull Rainhridee. Decatur, their brothers, too! (Ha! those pirate knights In a ring of foes, When you douse your lights And drive home your blows!) Hats of to the Eniden's crew! the wave-washed decks stood they And heard with a Viking's grim delight The whirr of the wings of death by day And the voice of death in their dreams by night! Under the sweep of the wings of death. By the blazing gun, in the tempest's breath, While a world of enemies strove and fumed, Remote, unaided, undaunted, doomed, . -They stood is there any, friend or foe, Who will choke a cheer? who can still but scoff? No, no, by the gods of valor, no! To the Emden's crew Hats off! Goodwin's Weekly. Allen Eaton, representative from Lane county, who is making an ag gressive campaign for the Speaker's chair in the House, when the legisla ture meets, has issued the following platform which covers his speaker ship policies: "After having served contiuously in four sessions of the Oregon House of Representatives I know that at least 25 per cent., and I believe 40 per cent., can be saved in the cost of the Oregon legislative sessions with out impairing its efficiency. I know the rules of procedure in the Oregon Legislature are such that men "out side the organization" or "unfriend ly to the machine" cannot be sure of fair treatment for their bills. "I know the same rules of proce dure permit the most important leg islation to go over until the last two or three days. During the mad scramble that follows, bills are pass ed without proper consideration or understanding. "If I am elected at the 1915 ses sion, I promise the accomplishment of these two great reforms: "1. A reduction of at least one fourth in the expense of running the House. "2. A change in methods of or ganization and procedure that will produce fewer bills, fairer consider ation of bills and of their authors, and more time for important legis lation. "I have made and shall make dur ing this campaign for the speaker ship, no promises of committee ap pointments. I should rather be free on the floor than tied in the speaker's chair. "This statement covers briefly my speakership policy. The main thing is that the next speaker shall have such a policy. "Respectfully, ALLEN EATON." The contest for the speakership of the House at the coming session of the Legislature has narrowed down to two candidates Represetative Al len Eaton of Eugene, and Represen tative Ben Selling of Portland. The contest has been waged with more or less uncertainty for several weeks with indications, as the time draws near for the Legislature to convene, that it can only be settled by the final vote for speaker when the House organization is effected. Mr. Selling is the candidate of the Ore gonian, and that paper is leaving nothing undone to bring about his election. On the other hand, Mr. t,a- SAY THAT BUSINESS IS GOOD." The above phrase spoken at least once every hour in the day to your noiirhiinr. nr vour customer, or your employee or anyone whom you might come in contact with during tne aay b business will make every week in the Vnrttiwpst nrosneritv week. The un ion Meat Company has issued a bul letin adapted from the Chicago Dai ly Tribune which carries with it great phsycological weight. It is as follows: When the basic conditions arc rightas they are today business needs only the right kind of thoughts and the right kind of talk to make it good. "Here is something to do today. "Every hour on the hour say that business is good. Say it to the man next to you on the street car. Say it to the man at the next desk. Say it to your lunch partner to your D0SS to your stenographer to your customer to the man who waits on vnll . "Say it to yourself, if you are alone hut env it. Everv hour on the hnnr eav that business is good. "The effect of that little phrase, repeated eight times in one day by a million men and women or more- will be enough to overcome months of pessimistic thoughts and pessi mistic talk. "For business will be good now, today, next week, and right along, if we merely say that it is good and stick to it. "Constant repitition of the power ful little phrase will generate the un animous confidence which Is what business needs all that business needs. For your own sake, for the sake of the man you work for and the men who work for you, for the sake of your family and your friends, for the sake of the employed and the unemployed say that business is good. "Eight times today, every hour on the hour during the business ilav. sav that business is good. To morrow and next week rememDer that you have Bald It and remember that you wore justified in saying n because there is every reason wny business in the Northwest should be not only good but better than ever hpfnra. . "We are the market place for the Golden West, and our territory has n hetter material basis than ever be fore. Our business is bound to be good if we, all of us, make up our minds to the fact. "Thought for today: SAY THAT BUSINESS IS GOOD." 1 ' VtVTT V VTT VTTtTV V V VTTTVTT - t. JANUARY If you want to live in the kind of a town like the kind of a town you like, you needn't slip your clothes in a grip and start on a long, long hike. You'll only find what you left behind, for there's nothing that's really new. It's a knock at yourself when you knock vour town. It Isn't your town It's you. Real towns are not made by men afraid lest somebody else gets ahead. WThen everyone works and nobody shirks, you can build a town from the dead. And If while you make your personal stake your neighbors can make one too, your town will be what you want to see. It isn't your town, it's you. Tough times! In New York city more than a hundred pickpockets have been obliged to give up their calling and lead an honest life, on ac count of the hard times. Formerly these thieves could nip a half dozen nocketbooks and retire to ease and comfort for a month. Now the times are so hard that the most industrious pickpocket, after rifling fifty or sixty packetbooks, will realize only about $15 a week, and that is getting down to such an insignificant amount that many of them have decided to be come honest until business improves.

Wall Street Journal: People who complain about their taxes might find a useful hint in the report recently filed by the New Jersey board of equalization. The average tax rate had' jumped from $1.97 of last year to $2.24 for the present year, an in crease of 13.8 per cent. The board said : "The increase is due to the fact that local expenditures have increas erl in a greater ratio than the sources of local revenue." The appaling fact can be applied to all the states. The census returns go back to 1360. They show the aver age per capita levy to be more than three and one-half times what it was at. tha earlier date. Or course iho tar rate ner SI 00 also increases. Yet. notwithstanding the enormous increase in amount of the tax. levies and the increase in population and wealth, the average per capita in debtedness of the states, counties and minor civil divisions has stead ily increased. What rln the Deonle eet in return for this increased taxation? When a man's business expenses increase faster than the returns, the bank ruptcy court awaits him. But in the public business there is no thought of cutting expenses according to means. The tax rate is to be adjust ed to fit the expenses. This is good business to the politician; but to the people who pay the bill the effect is, as Shy lock said: "You take my life when you take the means whereby I live." Kings should shear their sheep, not skin them. But so long as the peo- nln narmlt tlioir affairs tn he conduc ted without any idea of economy or anything approaching a budget sys tem, they are sure to be skinned. Is n't It time to demand a real reform? Christian Church Notes. Subject of discourse next Sunday mrvrnintr. "Sanctification." Ensuing theme: "The Drawing Power m tne Cross."

"Words fail me to express my deep appreciation of the bountiful generosity oi tne Amer ican ceonle to Belgium," says Cardin al Merrier, nrimate of Belgium, in a letter to Herbert C. Hoover, chair man of the American commission for relief in Bek'ium. "After all that has been done and is being done by them," the Cardin al's letter continues, "to help us in our trouble, it might appear unseem ly on my part to ask for more; dui our distress is so real and the misery caused by the war so great that t cannot but look to the future with anxiety." Thn letter closes with an appeal to the American people "to continue to keep their hearts open to us. Possibilities of Invasion. I.nndon Punch.
