C, September, 26 Reduction in the high cost of living as promised in the Democratic plat form of 1912, is a "myth," declared j Representative Julius Kahn of Call-! fornia, ranking minority member of the House Military Affairs Committee in a statement given out here today. "In 1913 the Democratic party pro mised the people of the United States I to reduce the high cost of living" said ! Mr. Kahn. "They fulminated against ! the protective tariff and blamed the I latter for contributing to the increase of prices of food products of all kinds. This is the plank of that platform. ine nign cost ol living is a serious problem in every American home. The Republican Party, in its platform attempts to escape from res ponsibility for present conditions by denying that they are due to a pro tective tariff. We take issue with them on this subject, and charge that excessive prices result in a large measure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the Rep ublican Party and from trusts and commercial conspiracies fostered and encouraged by such laws, and we as sert that no substantial relief can be secured for the people without import duties on the necessaries of life are materially reduced and these crimin al conspiracies broken up.' "Like many another plank it seems to have been inserted in the platform in the nature of 'molasses to catch flies.' k "Instead of reducing the price of living under this Democratic adminis tration the cost of food products has constantly increased. Uncle Sam himself feels the pinch. He is the greatest purchaser of commodities in the United States. He can buy cheaper than anybody else because he buys in such large quantities. In 1913 at the time the Democrats took possession of the country and promis ed to reduce the cost of living he was paying twenty-three cents a day per ration for every enlisted man in the United States Army. That was the cost of the Army ration at that time. The ration itself has not been changed for eight years. The same articles of food that were given the soldiers in 1909 are supplied to them today. Acting Quartermaster Gene ral H. G. Sharpe, who testified before the Committee on Military Affairs last March, said that for the year 1917 the cost of each ration would be thirty cents. Its cost has Increas ed steadily since 1913. Every year saw an increase until now the ration amounts to thirty cents per day. There are approximately 250,000 men in the regular army and the National Guard at the present time. An increase of seven cents per ration means that the tax payers of Uncle Sam have to pay $17,500 a day more than they would have had to pay in 1913 to feed Uncle Sam's soldiers. At that rate the increased cost to feed the army amounts each month to $525,000, or $6,300,000 per year more than when the Republicans were In control. The taxpayers are called upon to meet this heavy in crease. But it is not only the food for the Army that has increased in cost The cost of clothing, shoes and equipment generally has gone up in proportion. "The Records of the government disclose the fact that under the Un derwood tariff bill, which is probably the lowest tariff this country has ever had, prices have advanced steadily and the end is not yet. "The Democratic party proclaimed in 1812 that the protective tariff was responsible for the high cost of liv ing. It was a beautiful theory with which they fooled many of the voters of this country. The people are wis er today. Under Democratic free trade prices have risen to the highest point in American history. "Will the voters again be fooled by Democratic sophistry in November?" O. M. Whittington and family were week end guests at the home of N. A. ( lark. They returned to their farm south of this city Tuesday, ac comranied by Mr. and Mrs. P. D. Kib ler (;f Montrose 111., parents of Mrs. Whittington. State Superintendent of Schools, J. A. Churchill of Salem, arrived In Hepner Monday evening to attend the local teachers' institute which was in session the first three days of this week. A display of horticultural and ag- rlcultural products unique and at-1 tractive, was the Hermiston bungalo j on upper Main street in Pendletoni during the Round-Up. The bungalo ,was constructed with baled hay and I the interior contained some fine ex hibits of what is produced in the pro ject country. It was the object of 'much favorable comment by thous ands of the "Let-er-Buck"crowd. Miss Gertrude Martin of Olex visit ed with Heppner friends this week. W. K. Corson passed through Hepp ner the first of the week on his way to lone. He has been spending the summer on the J. H. Hayes & Sons ranch on Big Butter creek.. A party consisting of Henry Cohn, Harry Itancan, Vfm. O'Rourke, La Verne VaoMarter and Arthur R. Crawford janrnud to Pendleton in the Cohn car list Friday and spent three days in the Round-Up city. E. G. Ktiblo, Bert Stone, W. G. Mc Carty and Mrs. U. G. Sigsbee motored over to Pendleton yast Friday and en joyed two "days at the big show. I Roy Stamp, local buckaroo is limp ing. He met with some hard luck at !the Pendleton Round-Up when he tried to ride a mouse colored burro in Happy Caynon. As a means of self defense, the burro used his teeth to good advantage in Ry's leg and would have accomplished severe In juries had not the other cowboys come to the aid of Stamp when they did. He also received a sprained ankle. Miss Vtmm Young, who teaches In one of the Butter creek schools and who is one of Morrow county's most popular joung -women, attended the three day session of the annual in stitute la this city. Saturday was a dull day in Hepp ner. Everybody went to Pendleton. Heppner undoubtedly sent the larg est proportional delegation to the Round-Up of all the towns that were represented. Happy Caynon was thronged with our local people the last two nights. FOREST NOTES. One ton of coniferous wood waste will produce from 15 to 25 gallons of 95 per cent pure alchol. The farm woodlots of the United States contain about 10 per cent of the total standing timber In the country. Grazing experts of the Forest Ser vice estimate that the cost of produc ing lambs in the Northwestern Btates is $1.82 per head. Los Angeles was the first city on the west coast to establish a vacation camp on the National Forests. The stand of timber on the two great National Forests in Alaska is estimated by the Forest Service as over 70 billion board feet, while the annual growth will, it is said, pro duce pulpwood alone enough for the manufacture of 3,000 tons of wood pulp a day. The state of Washington consumes 225 cubic feet of wood Der capita an nually, which is more than twice the average consumption for the United States and six and a quarter times the average for Germany. Over 98 per cent of the trees plant ed by the Forest Service this spring at Hobo, Tillamook County, Oregon, on 'the Siuslaw National Forest, are still living. This has been, the most successful planting operation in the Forests of the Northwest.
