KEEP QUARTER OF MILLION
IX OREGON.
Portland has taken bids on $250,
000 worth of cast Iron water pipe for
the municipal water system and a
larger part will be made in Oregon
This water pipe will be made at
Oswego, where a large number of
Portland men find employment all
year around.
The Portland-Vancouver bridge
will use $300,000 worth of fabricated
steel, some of which will also be
made at Portland.
The public funds used to purchase
all this material should be expended
on the product of home industry.
This quarter of a million dollars
if sent away will never come back;
if spent at home, it will be handled
apout five times over.
TAXES TO COME DOWN.
In both Oregon and Washington
appropriations have been reduced,
offices are being abolished and offi
cial salaries reduced.
Officials, boards and institutions in
both states will not be allowed the
freedom of the past in disbursing
public funds.
A good precedent was established
by Governor Withycombe of Oregon
in promoting County Judge Daly of
l.akeview to be Circuit Judge for
keeping down taxes and getting his
county out of debt.
Field engineers in the service of
the water board are reduced in salary
from $150 to $125 per month.
The office of State Architect was
abolished, as he would have drawn a
salary of $4500 for three years and
the work could be done cheaper on a
commission basis.
Governor Withycombe vetoed the
creation of three new judicial dis
tricts and appointed two democrats
to judgeships.
Some people wonder why eggs
from the Chinese Empire are import
ed into the Western states and sold
in direct competition with our West
ern product. The fact Is, that while
we advertise that we produce eggs
cheaply and profitably on this coast,
we are not producing enough for
home consumption during the entire
calendar year, therefore the trade
demands more eggs, and the required
supply is imported from the source
where the dealers can get them the
cheapest.
China lias the eggs to sell, and our
Western people have to Import eggs
for their home consumption as they
are not producing enough for that
purpose. Therefore, we get eggs
from the Chinese sewer hens and the
"Chinks" get our money. Western

THE AMERICAN LEGION.
An organization of 250,000 or
300,000 men who- have had military
training is not an impossible thing in
the United States. They would not
be enlisted for regular army service,
nor for regular militia service. None
the less they could be made, under
proper direction, and owing to their
past experiences, a very mobile body
of troops ready for action at short no
tice. The plan, as formulated after
several conferences ia New York
seems comprehensive enough. In
these meetings the government may
be said to have been represented by
Maj. Gen. Wood, in command of the
Military Department of the East, who
was authorized to participate in the
discussions. Commander Robert F!
Crank of the navy has been repre
senting that side of the fighting es
tablishment. Approximately 25,000 men are dis
charged from the United States army
annually. The great majority of such
men, those discharged even as long
as ten or fifteen years ago, are still in
the prime of physical manhood. It
would not be impossible , we think,
to find a quarter-million such men in
the country now. Joining the pro
posed organization, which would be
called the American Legion, would
be voluntary. Not all the availables
would care to join, but it is easy
to believe that the very great ma
jority of them would, and that, with
annual accretions, a reserve army of
300,000 men could be created. The
same appeal would be made to men
honorably discharged from the navy
to fill the complements of crews in
time of war. A naval reserve force
of scores of thousands could be cre
ated in this way.
The government would, of course,
have to arm the men and equip them
in time of action. The scheme ap
pears to have been well thought out
in all of its details. Its central idea
is the one of having at all times, sub
ject to instant call, a large body of
men trained not only in military serv
ice, but, as the statement makes plain
in the very important military art
of a man "taking care of himself in
the open." And this would include,
as we understand it, not only dis
charged soldiers, but any class of
civilians whose service would be val
uable in war. The plan, as it is re
ported, has no suggestion of militar
ism in it. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
