PROHIBITIVE SUGAR PRICES
Confectioners, fruit canneries and housewives are menaced by sugar
prices that will be restrictive on industries and increase living cost.
Owing to his illness, perhaps, and being too busy with international
matters, the President failed to ask Congress for authority to buy the
Cuban crop of 1919-1920 when it could be had for 6* cents.
The Sugar Equalization Board appointed by the President asked for
authority to buy the 1919-1920 Cuban rropa which would have insured
sugar to the consumer at about 11 cents a pound.
The Food Control bill, known as the Lever act, under which the Cu­
ban crop of 1918-1919 was bought, is in force until peace is declared and
promulgated by the President.
The McNary bill passed Congress last December and extended the life
of the sugar equalization board until December, 1920, and under that half
the Cuban crop could still have been bought. .
That alone would have enabled the government to control the price
of sugar and insure an equitable distribution but the administration be­
lieved sugar prices had reached the peak and would decline.
On top of this the legal department of the government informed the
Louisiana sugar planters that they could charge 18 cents a pound for their
cane sugar without running the risk of being prosecuted.
The Cuban cane sugar producers at once decided that if we were will­
ing to pay 18 cents for American cane sugar there was no good economic
reason why we should not be willing to pay as much for Cuban cane.
That is not a political argument but a statement from the records in
Washington and ought to satisfy anyone why our industries and the con­
suming public must pay prohibitive prices for suar.
SOME SHOW
Hermiston's share of the great John Day Barbecue was a wonderful
success, and we believe was appreciated by the promoters of one of the
greatest days of education and celebration in Eastern Oregon.
Hermiston's share of the festivities was not of a spectacular kind,
on the contrary it was quite modist, but, Hermiston was there. Our good
people made it a holiday and went out in force to do all they could to help
demonstrate to those uninformed that water was all that was needed to
make hay grow on the John Day Project.
Hermiston wants the Boardman people to succeed in getting that
water, and they will do everything in their power, make any sacrifice, to
help them accomplish their great desire: To make a hay garden out of
the desert.
NORMAL SCHOOL IN PENDLETON
The announcement has been made that Pendleton will have a summer
course of six weeks of the Monmouth Normal School, starting June 21st.
We should have a Normal school located in Eastern Oregon. Pendn-
leton made a game fight for it four years ago, but the south-western part
of the state could not see it that way.
We are glad to note, however, that President Ackerman of the State
Normal at Monmouth, thinks enough of this part of the state to move the
Monmouth school to Pendleton for a summer course. This will allow many
students to attend the normal school, who, otherwise could not obtain the
instruction if compelled to go to Monmuth.
Protection and care will materially lessen this
depreciation and double the life of your car.

HIGH SCHOOL MOVIE S
Saturday, June 5
The Good Book tells us that Satan is to be loosed for a thousand
years. But what we’d like to know, however, is how long the old duck has
been loose.
A Colorado man had his jaw-bone patched up with a rib. But this
isn’t the first instance in which a rib was used to perfect a talking machine.
A non-leakable gasoline tank has been perfected.
a non-exhaustable one.
What is needed is
Here lies the body of William J.
He died maintaining his right of way.
He was in the right as he sped along,.
But he’s just as dead as if he'd been wrong.

ON
This is no joy ride. I am fully conscious of the
responsibilities resting upon me. I had to contend
against the prejudice which undoubtedly exists among
many of the opposite sex. I believe it was the won­
derful, touching support from the navy lower deck
men which steadied and rallied the waverers, overcame
the doubters and brought me victory.
I am going to the house of commons to put wom­
an’s viewpoint foremost. I have the soundest views
on affairs affecting women and children.
Women have the qualities needed in the com­
mons and in politics. Their spiritual qualities help to purify politics and
will help in the commons. We arc more practical than men—we are the
first to acknowledge when we are wrong.
I am not a political economist and I have the courage to say so, but I
number among my friends the very ablest men of all parties, sections,
classes and circles in England. In general I am a supporter of the
coalition and Lloyd George, but I am not tied to anybody’s apron strings.
England needs practical national housekeeping. We could not trust
the government to Mr. Asquith—the ancient mariner—or his ambitious
lieutenants. We must reconstitute our industrial organization, increase
our exports, re-establish a sense of security and bring down the cost of liv-
ing. We must cut down unproductive expenditures. We cannot afford
extravagance.
I am fully conscious of the high honor and grave responsibility of
my position. It is overwhelming to realize that I am the first woman
commoner. I realize perfectly that my behavior will be a precedent before
which the rest of my eex will be judged. I have got to make good.
