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.
