OUEtiOX TO GIVE CAPITAL A SQUARE DEAL. Capital is hereby notified that Ore gon has called oft' the dogs and that it is safe to come down out of the tree and get busy. The people have had enough fun chasing the Octopus to last them for years. They enjoyed it, had a good time, and, like others who have a good time, they have had to go down into their pockets and pay the fid dler. Of course, Capital must understand that there is to be no monkeying with the bandwagon, no shell games with the public, and that Oregon will not crawl on its stomach and eat out of its hand, but it will see that Capital gets a square deal and wants it to know that for square-deal Capital Oregon offers the best opportunities in the world.

"Yes, the six months are up and our Hole proofs have outworn the guarantee. p$, f WmpA Mm i J'olepxzyfHosierg 1 for wmen. women jSJLahd children- I Warranted Against Tears, Drop-Stitches, Running Threads, or Any Manner of Hole Six pairs of lisle or cotton are warranted to wear six months without holea, three pairs of silk three months. If any pair fails in that time you get new hose free. Men's Holeproof Socks, 25c per pair and up. Vomen's and Chil dren's Holeproof Stockings, 35c per pair and up. Such perfect hose would be far tnore costly if the output of the 1 Holeproof factory were smaller. But they're making Holeproofs for millions, and large output cuts the factory cost per pair. They import Japan's choicest silk. They procure the finest, long est cotton fibre grown in Egypt. They could pay half for lesser yams. But then these hose would wear like common hose. Ask us to show you these fins hose that mean such a saving to you in labor and money. SAM HUGHES CO. Dealers in Quality Footwear An interesting article appeared in the Portland Daily Oregonian under the date -of November 29, telling of a girls club which is doing a fine work and setting an excellent exam ple (or the more "flippant" youth to emulate. The organization which in cludes girls of a high school In that city are subordinating society, pur suing knowledge, giving service, be ing trustworthy, glorifying work, cul tivating happiness, and above all doing one kind deed at least every day. Some of the daily deeds of these young women are summarized as fol lows: One member gives music lesson free to a child of poor parents. This same member plays during the after noon, when school is over, for an elderly woman, who loves music but is unable to hear it in any other way. Another member reads a little each day to a blind neighbor. Another member makes scrap books for poor children who are in hospitals, others spend money they have earned individually in helping to care for poor families singled out from observations in their neighbor hood. All of them scatter food in places where the wild birds can find it in bad weather. They give up their seats in street cars to older men and women. They help elderly persons cross crowded streets. They do extra household tasks for their parents freely and voluntarily. Each one endeavors to exert a good influence on boys and girls of their own set who are pursuing the "butterfly" ex istence to excess. Certainly these are little deeds of kindness which we should expect to find in all our young people, as well as the older folks, but we must con fess that the general tendency of the modern day youth Is more toward flippancy and the lesser regard for the rights and privileges of their eld ers. These young ladies of Portland are setting an excellent example, and their good work is bound to bear fruit. THK ATTEMPT TO FORECAST TRADE COMTIOXS "AKTEK THE AYAH.

XEW CHOPS IX OREGON. One of the fascinating features of Oregon's agricultural development Is the rapidity with which new crops grow from nothing to an important place in the state's total production. Corn is a well known instance, A few years ago it was said that corn could not be grown here, but tills statement has been fully and graphic ally disproved. Corn is now being grown on an extensive scale, and as a result new possibilities in hog rais ing are being opened up. Another new crop whose rapid growth is equally well known Is clo ver. As in the case of corn, it was said only a short time ago that clover would not grow successfully 1n Ore gon, and the statement was generally believed. But the value of clover as a staple crop has been fully estab lished. A new source of income has been added to the state and a new method of restoration of soil fertility has been provided. Another crop that is now in its in fancy is mint. Owners of river bot tom soil in the Willamette valley are growing this new crop in consider able quantities and are finding it profitable. It Is said that the pres ent profits will be greatly increased as soon as irrigation is available. Mint is easily and inexpensively han dled, and those who have grown it look upon it with great favor. Ore gon peppermint oil is much richer In It is a message of grave but grounded hope that A. D. Xoyes, fi nancial editor of the New York Post, brings to the closing month of the year. Forecasting the future of in dustrial Europe after the war in the light of 16 months' experience, he keeps in mind the fact that "virtually none of the far more disquieting pre dictions made regarding the economic effects of the war itself has been ful filled." England has made rational prepar ations for the aftermath of war, and the tax collections will more than pay interest on the new debt. Ger many has flinched from this, and pays interest on its earlier loans from the proceeds of the new loans, the Ger man minister of finance dreaming that indemnity from defeated bellig erants will finance the empire. But Germany entered war bearing a finan cial burden that usually is the last word in taxation. This consisted of the special and heavy levy inposed in 1913 "to provide for the immensely increased army with which the gov ernment was unquestionably plan ning, even then, to provoke this war." Paralsis of normal business in creases rapidly among the belliger ants. British exports the first seven months of this year were 32 per cent less than in the same period last year; French exports 56 per cent less. The German appeal that "every hun dred marks of private savings be in vested in war loans" and the British tax of 17 per cent and upward on in comes must enormously reduce the people's purchasing power. Belliger ant Europe after the war will almost be Europe pauperized. In England the furious activity In all industries contributing to war will stop, but the taxes will continue. In Germany war orders will have ceased, the long em bargo on foreign commerce will exert Its cumulative Influence and the im position of much heavier taxes can not be deferred. If the war should continue till 1917 interest on its debts will be quite as large as were all annual public revenues of the bel (igerant governments before the war. What will be the peoples' attitude toward such crushing burdens? Re pudiation? Mr. Noyes thinks not Nothing seems more improbable to him than refusal to pay Interest and the principal. Belligerants must bor row heavily when peace returns, in order to meet the continuing deficits. Bad faith toward war loans would de stroy national credit. Europe de pends in peace as in war upon good financial relations with America and other powerful neutrals. But will not Europe pour such vol umes of manufactures at low prices into the United States, that European producers will deprive American manufacturers of their markets? The financial expert answers: "The pros pect, on examination, is not so clear as might be imagined. Europe's first and premeptory requirement will be immense supplies of new material for reconstruction. Some of our most experienced manufacturing au thorities hold that these circumstan ces insure an export trade from the United States to Europe of abnor mally large proportions after the war. European wages have risen rap idly. Their rise has resulted from great excess of demand for labor ov er available supply. That condition will not be wholly rectified when ar mies are disbanded. The war's po litical readjustments have fastened much more firmly than before the hold of the labor party and their sym pathizers on European governments. If wages remain high how is the Eu ropean manufacturer to undersell our producers and flood the market." Spokesman-Keview.

Ill NT- OX I, V i : i : The man about the streets is aware of a certain strain of whispered pessi mism to the effect that when prohi bition goes into effect the first of the year, we will experience the shock of reduced business. This Is one of a class of economic prophesies that do not come true. In the average community, big or little, the elimination of booze, whether it be of considerable or only of moder ate interest, commercially and indus trially speaking, does not produce de pressing results. The net loss of it occurs only through the cliange of employment necessitated on the part of those engaged in one iyay or an other in the drink traffic. Some of those find difficulty, for a time per haps, in landing other Jobs; but the loss in this respect is vastly overbal anced by the greater efficiency of the mass of workers and others who fur nish the saloon patronage. Touching the question of rents as it is involved in the practical work ing of prohibition, undoubtedly the fancy corner-prices will be somewhat reduced. But no rational man can consider that an evil as the general business interests of the community are concerned. Those corner-rent figures have been inflated by the sa-j loon business, and thereby better bus iness has been crowded out of the better locations. Under prohibition there will be a new adjustment which will remedy that; and with the sa loon gone many more people will be steady and prompt rent payers than formerly. We may as well conclude that pret ty much all the shock to be occasion ed over the change to prohibition by the closed saloon has already been absorbed. Saloon men themselves have already arranged for accomo dating themselves to the new condi tions. It is not at all as if the change had come upon us in a single day. With the saloons closed on Jan uary 1, 1916, we shall be prepared to do the greatest, year's business in our history. We should resolve that we have no time to listen to the pessi mistic whisperings. Evening Telegram. Few measures pertaining to public finance have ever justified themselves so completely as the establishment of the federal reserve banks. Before their day our monetary and banking system was said by observers to be the worst in the world. In good times we had too much money, in had times too little. There was no pro vision for distributing funds. Money piled up where It was not wanted and refused to move to points where the demand was pressing. Upon the faintest whisper of a coming panic the banks locked up their funds and hastened the evil they sought to forestall. Just before the federal re serve banks began to operate the course of foreign exchange ran heavi ly against the United States and gold was leaving the country. In these matters there has been a total change. Gold has flowed this way so fast that our financiers are at a loss what to do with it. Foreign exchange has swung round in our fa vor ' and our Investment market stands better than at any time in years. Not all these good things can be accredited to the federal reserve banks but a large part of them can. The new system laid a solid founda tion for healthy finance, and the con sequences which have followed were in many particulars predicted by its authors. The European war has in tensified results which would have come about in any case to some ex tent at least. The United States is the wealthiest country In the world and with a sound banking and mone tary system it must in the end have become the world's financial center, war or no war. Oregon Journal.
