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. Corvallis Gazette-Times.

that time you get new hose free.

But they're making Holeproofs for

They import Japan's choicest

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.

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."

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.
