The last bills for all :s of war materia! must be paid; army of occupation must be .stained in Germany; the great v must be maintained and paid his country and in France until .in be demobilized, and if must : be paid the bonus of $60 a he..i and brought home; tne ainer en.e between the market and guar anteed price for wheat must be paid ar.d a large part of Europe must be feJ, that famine may not lead to an .:chy. All of these things are necessary parts of the work of pacifying the world which the United States un dertook when we declared war on Germany and Austria. The job will not be finished until those countries have accepted the terms dictated at Paris, until their people have enough food to save them from starvation and anarchy, and are at work. Many of these people are our enemies, but many are our friends whom we have set free. Humanity dictates that we should feed them out of our abundance. The most cold-blooded policy points the same way, for if we do not feed them.we shall have to fight them as bolsheviki. It is cheaper to feed them than to fight them, and they will be of more use to the world alive than dead. To meet these obligations of honor, humanity and policy the gov ernment will call on the people for subscriptions to the Victory loan from April 21 to May 10. The exact form and amount of the loan have not been fixed, but it will probably be $6,000,000,000 in notes running ten years and paying interest at the rate of from 4'2 to 5 per cent. If that should be the amount, Oregon's quota will be about $30,000,000 ahd Portland's quota from $17,000,000 to $18,000,000 approximately the same as for the fourth Liberty loan. This is an opportunity for Oregon to put the finishing touch on the splendid record which it made throughout the war, and which spread its fame as the Volunteer State across the continent. Not only loyalty to the state, loyalty to the nation and duty to humanity call upon us to respond, even till it hurts, but the notes will be a good investment, for they will be accepted at the banks as collateral for loans up to a high percentage of their mar ket price, and the high rate of inter est will make them salable at or near their face value. To subscribe for the Victory loan is to be a good American and a good Oregonian, to be a practical worker for peace and humanity, and to do a good stroke of business, all at the same time. The first four loans sent the boys to finish the job over there; the Victory loan will bring the boys back to their jobs over here. tt Penny postage ! Highly commen dable is the bill introduced by Repre sentative Mansfield of Texas to re duce the postal rate on hrst-class mail to one cent on and after Jan uary 1, 1922. It is based upon the principle that the Post Office Depart ment is not for revenue purposes primarily but for the distribution of knowledge and to give to the hum blest citizen the cheapest possible postal rates. This was the motive which animated legislators years ago when the rate was lowered on news naners and oeriodicals. The same principle of service was back of the institution of rural free delivery, ana more recently the use of aircraft for carrying the mails. If the main object had been to cover the cost neither of these innovations would have taken place. Anything that in creases the 'use of the mails brings the people closer together, breaks down sectional lines and becomes a great popular educator. Anything like zone penalization in postal rates cannot be too severely condemned. Leslie's. The success of the Victory Loan means that the people of the United States have not dropped the handles of the plow until the furrow is done. Don't spend your time thinking how much you can get out of your uill hold on to the man or woman in ,2 00 ihis employ who is increasing his bus- i-oo - mess ana nis pronts. ; The efficient employee will be the last to go when hard times come. The efficient employee will be the first to be chosen by other employers in the same line of business in search of good men. Every successful, self-made man or woman has attained success through honesty, industry and ef ficiency. This is the way by which Carnegie rose from telegraph opera tor to the head of the largest steel corporation in the world. This is the way by which Schwab rose from a water carrier to the presidency of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, and John D. Rocke feller from clerk in a country store to the head of one of the greatest oil industries in the world and had his methods of efficiency copied by all his successful competitors. Every successful banker and bus iness man in the self-made class, whose life stories we read with such absorbing interest, won success not by opposing but by he'iping his em ployer; not by watching the clock, not by seeking as many leisure hours as possible, but by unceasing vigi lance to the end that his employer might win and that he might be a winner with him. Let the reader who is familiar with the interesting stories of our business men .name one who car ried out this plan and failed. Build for your employer. In doing so, remember that you are always building for yourself. Leslie's. Security of principal, regularity of interest payment, and popularity as an investment are three recognized principles of bond investment. By this standard, does any investment in the world compare with the Victory Liberty Loan? Our government does not neces sarily have to float a Victory Liberty Loan. A government less decent would raise the money by taxation. The Kaiser, if he had been victor ious, would be taxing you right now, and your receipts wouldn't be good for their face, five, ten, fifteen, or twenty years from now not by a "Spurlos Versenkt," not to mention that little interest coupon due every six months, either. tt by the Act of August 24, 1912, em bodied in section 443, Postal Laws and Regulations, printed on the re verse of this form, to wit: t 1.
