Common Sense Will Prevail
The U. S. National Bank of Port
land has this common sense view in
its business digest just issued:
"We are now paving prosperity's
debts. It was human nature to run
up bills during good times, and we
did it. Now we are Faying our bills
under pressure. We borrowed 50
cent dollars, so to speak. now we
are repaying them with S5-cent dol
lars, and as prices continue to come
down, it will be necessary to repay
additional dollars obtained in boom
times, with dollars which will be
twice as hard to earn. Of course it
is hard, and the worst is over.
Though prices have fallen greatly,
there is still further deflation to be
accomplished. We are 'Bavins the
penalty for violating economic laws,
and all are guilty from the Federal
uovemment down. Extravagance,
perhaps justifiable under the neces
sity of winning the war was the or
der of the day. For several years,
figuratively speaking we were bor
rowing ourselves ncn. Now we
suffer because we must cav back.
"But our people are looking fac;s
in the face. The country is not
broke it is merely bent. Common
sense and hard work honest work
thrift and economy will pull us out
ot tne noie. it is time to take off
our coats, go to work, take our med
icine no matter how bitter, suffer
our losses and benefit from our ex
periences. There have been times
when financial conditions seemed
almost hopeless, but always common
sense nas prevailed, and thus it will
oe again.

The local chautauqua committee
has received a number of inquiries
as to how there could be a deficit this
year when there were 460 season
tickets subscribed for last year at the
close of the chautauqua. This came
aoout simpiy Because some people
who subscribed for season tickets did
not take them and cav for them. The
local committee signed the contract
on the strength of the subscriptions
for the season tickets. Thev exDect-
ed to do the work attendant upon
taking care of the oca arranee
ments, and this is no small job. But
they did not expect to pay for tickets
which people did not take. The com
mittee is no more to blame for the
unseasonable date this year than are
those who signed the cards. The de
ficit this vear is S260.90. of which
the bureau assumed half, leaving
$130.45 for the local committee. The
collection taken at the last night of
the chautauqua amounted to a lit
tle over $30.00. leavin? about $100
yet to be made up. Seveal public
spirited citizens have indicated that
they will help the committee on this
deficit, for which the committee is
very grateful. The committee appre
ciates the fine collection taken at the
tent. Some of those who did not
take the rickets they had signed up
for say they did not understand the
situation, but that they will now pay
for them rather than have the com
mittee pay for them. This shows a
good spirit. We do not expect any
deficit next year.

There are richer men, perhaps, in
Oregon than either Robert A. Booth,
John B. Yeon and W. B. Barratt.
There are men, perhaps, of greater
learning along given lines; but there
are no men who in the measure of
service which they are giving to this
great state, are greater than these
three.
Fortunate indeed is Oregon that
it has three such men who are free

of a rare combination of business in
