The allies agreed to reimburse this country for maintain ing her soldiers in Germany. This agreement was entirely apart from and independent of the treaty of Versailles. The allies now repudiate that agreement and insinuate that the United States must sit in an in ternational economic conference and "dicker" for her money or agree to recognize the Versailles treaty if she expects to be paid what is due her. This position of European nations which composed the allied powers is getting a trifle tiresome and the Am erican people are almost at the end of their patience. The British char acterization of the United States as mercenary and grasping simply be cause this nation asks to be reim bursed for costs which she incurred at the particular request of the Brit ish government and other nations comes in bad grace. It is a matter of history that Great Britain "cash ed in" on the European war to a greater extent than any other power. As a condition of the amistice, pre liminary to peace, she demanded that Germany give up all her navy, which left Great Britain absolute mistress of the seas, which has always been her chief national policy. She added vast territory to her already broad dominions under the thin disguise of "mandates." This territory in creases immensely her resources of oil and other natural resources and insures her tremendous income. She also secured absolute control of the Mediterranean, the Dardanelles and hte Black Sea, a thing for which she has plotted and fought for genera tions. France obtained the tremend ously rich province of Alsace-Lorraine and the valley of the Saar, rich in coal and mineral deposits. She also obtained mandates to valuable territory. It has not been dwelt upon much in this country because the United States has been disposed to exercise forbearance, but it is nevertheless a fact that Great Britain charged the United States rental for all of the British ships which were used to transport troops to the front to help out when England had her "back to the wall," and the United States paid the bill without quibbling. France charged the United States rental for the land used for trenches to house the United States troops which went to the rescue of the French republic. Moreover, when the United States, after the war, pre pared to return to this country all sorts of supplies and machinery which had been sent to France with the American forces, France inform ed the American government that if such equipment and supplies were removed she would charge the Uni ted States import tariff (which she had not hitherto asked) on all the goods, and would also charge an ex port tariff for their removal, which would amount to $500,000,000. She also represented she needed the sup plies to rebuild her devastated ter ritory. In view of this the United States government gave to France supplies, equipment and machinery of all sorts in the sum of $1,700,000,000 and took in payment for them France's notes for $400,000,000, to be paid in ten years after date. In other words, the United States donated to the French government machinery, material, equipment, supplies of all kinds, including medical, surgical and hospital supplies, to the value of $ ! ,300.000.000. Instead of living up to her agreement to use this material to rebuild her devastated territory France immediately sold the mater ia! to jobbers, who are selling it through Europe to injury of Ameri can trade and have been reshipping it to this country. In order to compel Germany to live up to the terms of the treaty, al lied troops were stationed on Ger man soil. When the congress of the United States began to talk of order ing the return of our troops because America did not ratify the treaty, England, France and Belgium all three urged that it not be done be cause it would weaken the position of the allies and encourage Germany to violate the terms of the treaty. In view of all this, it does not come in good grace for the European na tions which agreed to reimburse the United States for maintaining a force on the Rhine to accuse the United States of being mercenary or of act ing in bad faithand attempt to re pudiate their agreement.

Saturday Me and pa was down town shoping and bying a pear of Socks and we seen a girl go by in a otto smokeine a Ciearet in a Ivry holder. 1 sed to Pa Aint that awful for a woman to smoke cigarets and he sed Well he thot they had as good of a Right to smoke as other People. But he diddent think they wood ever lern to spit strate. Sunday Elsy sung a Solo at Sun day skool this morning and when we had went out side she sed to me What wod you do if you had a Voice like mine. And Jake buted in and says If I had a Voice like yourn I w ood by me a wagon and a bunch of bananas. Witch was very Rude to say the lease. 1 shud all ways tell people nice things which won't hurt there feeling even if you half to stretch the truth a litle at Times, Mrs. Hix says and she shud ought to no as she is wirth over a 1000 dollars. Monday I was invited over to Dud's house for supper this evning and had a nice time witch I admitted to his ma Before I left. It is ples sant to go way frum home now and occasionally where if you spill gravy on the table Cloth they smile at you and say O thats all rite it dont make no diffrunce. Instead of slaping you and running you off to bed. Like I get done some times. Tuesday Pa and his Boss had sum trubble today on the noose pa per Pa run out of Ns and in setting up about Mrs. Coolys party sed The guests all Died in the Butifly dec orated home at High 12. Mrs. Cooly got Sore all so. Wdenesday Teecher ast us when the best time was to sleep and I got kep. in for saying The best time to sleep is in the morning when you half to get up. Pa says Lots of Di vorces is caused by girls falling in love with some Guys lovly Dancing and marrying the whole man. Thursday Ma hollered at pa in the nite when he was snoreing and told him if he wood keep his mouth shut he woodent make so much noise. He sed That mite wirk with lots of fokes. imands for more and more taxation, Ithus far and no farther, here we be i gin to unload the burden, j He refuses to be a self-made can didate. His prominence in the Anier j ican Legion forbids using his position jto seek political honors; but we can ! say to him: WE REQUEST YOU TO SERVE THE PEOPLE OF OREGON UNDER THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT WE HAVE TO DRAFT THE SERVICES OF ANY CITIZEN, and that when you are thus called IT IS YOUR DUTY as much to serve the people in a civic crisis as it was to VOLUNTEER in the Spanish-American war, to serve in the National Guard on the Mexican border, or to mobilize the man-power of Oregon in the great world war, in every in stance with credit to yourself and the state. Will you help us to give expression to this thought, that we desire to call as our standard bearer in this cam paign, GEO. A. WHITE, the efficient head of the Oregon National Guard? We believe him to be a man of un tarnished reputation with no spot or blemish on his public or private life. He is 41 years old, a man who will command the respect of all elements of our state, a trained writer and an efficient public speaker, capable of putting punch into his campaign, and who will create enthusiasm in the hearts of all loyal and patriotic vot ers. WE WANT IMMEDIATE AC TION IN THIS CONTINGENCY. The primaries are held May 19th. He is a Republican, and more than that he is a broad-minded patriot with five years training in circum stances that tried men's souls. He has come up through military service from the ranks to positions of the highest responsibility on the general staff overseas. He will not be a mil itary candidate or a military martin et in the State House. HE WILL A Crisis in Oregon's Affairs Dear Fellow Citizen: We are addressing you personally as a citizen of Oregon, proud of your state and interested in its welfare and good government. We are called upn to take part in the coming pri mary and election campaign and are deeply interested in candidates for Governor, there being a number of candidates already in the field. We believe the state has reached a crisis in its affairs that requires us to act on new lines and secure a NEW DEAL for the people of Ore gon. Our state has reached the limit in high taxes, and yet we are faced with propositions for additional forms of taxation. We believe the time has come to make a decided cut in the overhead expenses of the government; to stop imposing new taxes m any form and turn the tide in the direction of tax reduction as has been done in the state of Washington, where, under the leadership of the Governor, back ed by loyal citizens, 72 boards and commissions were abolished; a defi cit of $2,600,000 wiped out; $4,459, 010.13 less taxes are being collected this year than last year. In Oregon State Treasurer Hoff's report, just published, shows that re ceipts for 1921 were $34,378,560.62, total expenditures $35,580,464.98, a deficit for 1 92 1 of $ 1 ,20 1 ,904.36. By the activities of nearly one hundred boards, commissions, and taxing bod ies the number of tax funds was in creased from 132 to 231 the past year. Our bonded debt was increased $29,405,125 the past year and our an nual interest charge increased $717, 704.48. Contrast this with the record of the state north of us. ' To fight the Tax Reduction battle we need a strong man in the Execu tive office for the next four years. He should be brought out by those who are bearing the burdens of govern ment as taxpayers, producers, and conducting the business and indus tries that give employment to labor in the development of a highly pro gressive commonwealth, and in that office under the constitution he should be amenable to the people direct and not be a mere agent of the top-heavy and extravagant political machinery that has been built up at their ex pense, uur canaiaate must be cnos- en by the people, be responsible to the people, in order to be able to fight their battles. We have such a man in mind. WE ARE ASKING FROM YOU AN EX PRESSION, not so much for the in dividual but for the principle that WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO COM MAND HIS SERVICES the right to have the best man in the state who is free to serve the people in this crisis a man size man who has the stalwart ability, courage, and tireless energy to say to the organized de- 1NST1TUTE HIGH STANDARDS OF ABILITY AND LOYALTY IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE IN EVERY ; DEPARTMENT OF THE STATE, j He has no connection with any controversies tk.it divide the people in any section of Oregon.

Increased manufacturing efficiency and volume production reduced factory overhead 58. 3. Selling costs reduced 38. Mr. Firestone stated, "This reduction in prices is made possible by our unusually advantageous buying facilities, and the enthusiasm, loyalty and determination of our 100 stockholding organization. "Due credit must be given to Firestone dealers who are selling Firestone tires on a sma'ler margin of profit. This brings every Firestone saving direct to the car owner."
