TTM'ra) STATICS senators complain that the senate lias heeonie a rubber stamp Tor the president and lielice show their independence by quibbling over war measures asked by the executive, such as the bill authoriz ing the government to take over the telegraph lines, and by passing measures opposed by the president such as the increased price of wheat. ('ongrcss has shown no statesmanship oji ability to solve; the problems of the war. Every important wasi measure has conic from the president, (.'ongrcss has scolded and berated, delayed and fiddled and patched, and played peanut politics but has originated no vital legis lation. On the contrary, it has done its best to check the fling towards real democracy given the nation by Wood row Wilson. Many times the president has asked congress to deal with war prol'ittering. When war was declared, he asked that, congress adopt so far as possible, a pay as we go policy, which meant the heavy taxation of the profiteers. Only in slight part was his request complied with. In his address at the opening of congress last December, he said: Iloeent experience has convinced me that the congress mtiBt go fur ther In authorizing the government t0 Gt limits to prices. The iaw of supply anil demand, I urn sorry to say, unrestrained selfishness. hllo we havo eliminated profiteering in sev eral branches of Industry, It still runs Impudently rampant in others. Inequities obtain on all sides. , 'Eater the president, again called congress' attention to the need of curbing profiteering and in demanding a new war revenue bill last May, declared: Theso nro days when duty slands stark and naked and even with closed eyes as wo know it is there. 'Excuses arc unavailing. There Is abundant fuel for the light in the records of the treasury with regard to profits of every sort. The profiteering that cannot ho got at by the restraints or conscl'-nce and love of country can be got at by taxation. There is such profiteering now and the information with regard to It Is available and Indlspuiaiile. Yet congress has done nothing still stands with "clos ed eyes" to the profiteer including such profiteers as the Western Union Telegraph company which mips its swollen profits through mulcting the publicum the one hand and underpaying its employes on the other. 1 Following the president's demand for action, came the Federal Trade Hoard's report showing that while the peo ple; are groaning under high prices for necessities, the packers, millers and other producers are reaping "unus ual, uncalled for and excessive" profits, "preying upon the. people unconscionably." Their "manipulation's em brace every device useful to them, without regard to law" and still congress has done nothing. Congress has however, voted to raise the price of wheat to 10 a bushel to put millions in the hands of speculat.orsr for most of the wheat is already out of the hands of the farmer. Congress is very solicitous in behalf of the speculator it delayed the passage of the food con trol bill for many months to enable the speculators to reap the harvest. .Instead of curbing the extortionate prices the farmer has to pay for supplies, congress proposes to put )(),()()(), 000 in the hands of middlemen and make the public, in cluding the government and our allies, pay the bill. It proposes to add to the already high cost of living to the over-burdened people to "slap at the president," for that is the reason back of the move. And not a single farmers' organization asked it even the Xon-Partisan league op posed it. 'Kvery other government, has been compelled to deal drastically with the profiteer who thinks the war is for the purpose of making the world safe for his greed of dol lars but congress is not apparently aware that the profiteer exists no bill has been introduced to curb him or to put him out of business and no tax placed upon war profits It is no merit to congress that after months of useless talk and idle chatter, of vain ami foolish opposition, that it finally passes needed measures like the Overman bill for the reorganization of war bureaus, or the espionage bill, or the fond control bill. When the president disgusted at the lack of action, assumes the initiative and drafts a war profiteers bill, we will hear a lot more about presiden tial interference and assumption of authority, but we will finally get the' remedy that congress fails to provide, de spite its opportunity. Talk, investigate, scold and meddle is the limit of con pressional activitiesand the people heartily wish con gress was merely a rubber stamp to legalize' the sugges tions of the president. One Period Cold Pack Method of Canning Favored The one-period cold-pack method of canning Is the only process now recommended by government experts and state food commissions. Many of Ihe older housowives avoid It simply because they aro un familiar with II. Nevertheless II Is so simple that a child can use It suc cessfully. In fact thousands of girls hclouulm; to canning clubs conserved tons tif frulls and vegetables by ihl:' process last year, and many more are doing the work with enthusiasm this summer. It Is easy to follow the steps of the process. The material Is cleaned, trimmed and otherwise prepared, then It Is blanched or scalded and cold (lipped, packed cold Into cans, which arc initially sealed, and then Immersed la a water bain, home WAR WORKERS TO HOLD MEETING IN MEDFORD Two simultaneous meetings will be held In Medford on I'rlday, July I IM li at S o'clock p. m. One will be a school of Instruction fur registrants. At this meeting instruction will be uUcu by a medical officer of the lulled States army, and legal In struction by nn attorney. Captain Culllson, I", 8. A., in charge of the has been replaced 'by the law of made or commercial. After being sterilized for a certain length of time the cans aro removed from Ihe water bath and sealed. After they have been colled (Inverted) the covers nre again lightened, and the jars wrap ped and stored. It Is unfair to condemn the pro cess If one does not succeed the first time. Careless handling Is sure to cause a loss. The National War tinr ilen commission warns housewives that success in canning depends on attention to every detail. About 7.'. per cent of spoilage Is due to the use of poor rubbers, imperfect screw lops, and improper sealing. Another fruitful source of trouble is that peo ple sometimes undertake to can stale or wilted vegetables. Absolute clean liness In every step is essential. j selective sen Ice draft, will order nl' registrants In tho county lo report I at this meeting. .

AID OF TROOPS SALEM, Ore., July 9. Complying with the request from the state hoard of forestry, Governor Wltuycombe has sent a telegram to tho secretary of war urging that soldlors from Camp Lewis ho dotu'iled to patrol logging camps and timber districts. whero deemed necessury as a precau tion against forest fires, which are threatening ship and airplane mater ials. The long dry spell has made the situation .very acute In Oregon for ests, according to State Forester El Hot. The governor's telegram to the secretary of war says: "The acuto forest fire situation In Oregon now not only imperils ships and airplane material and railroads but threatens to call out for- fire fighting great numbers of laborers needed for shipbuilding, lumbering and grain harvesting. "To avert a serious labor situation as well as to protect resources It Is ossentlal to increase the efficiency and authority of the patrol to reduce the starting of new fires. "I urgently request the war de partinent to authorize the local mili tary authorities to detail from avail able limited service men at ('amp Lewis one or more military patrol men to each logging camp, necessary railroad unit or timber district. The state forester will arrange the details of patrol with tho local officials. This proposed action is indorsed 'by C6I. Oisqiie, District Supervisor Went worth of the shipping board and Dis trict Forester Cecil of tho United States forest service." At a meeting of tho state hoard of forestry In Portland Saturday a reso lotion was adopted urging this ac tion. Governor Lister of Washing ton has also been requested to make a similar request for thut state. State Forester Elliot says that fires in this state are now fairly well under control, hut no one can tell when a big fire will get a start, Im periling war work by destroying ma terials and taking laborers. 10 IHE CHAUTAUQUA Last year the only two articles which had not advanced In price were tho postage stamp and the Chautau qua season season ticket. This year even tho postage stamp has gone sky rocketing und tho season ticket stands alone at the old price, save for the government's ton per cent. . The Chautauqua season ticket at 12.51) is the biggest "buy-" in the country. It brings a full week or splendid entertainment, music und lectures for loss thun ten cents a number. There are 2li events during Chautauqua week. Your season tick et nduills you to every one of them. Single admissions amount to over fx, so yon make a genuine saving of al most a five dollar bill in buying, on the season ticket plan. Should you attend only four leading numbers (and surely you will not miss these) Thavln's Exposition band, "Hawaii Lund or Music," Lincoln Wirt's great war lecture nnd Zedeler Sym phonic Quintet you will save mon ey by purchasing a season ticket. Then, too, single admissions do not assist the committee or loyal citi zens who nro bringing the Chautau qua to you. Adults (non-transferable) until July 1.1, $2. ,10; after July 1.1, $3.0(1. Adults (transferable in family I until July 13 $3.00; after Julv 1.1, $3.50. Veterans (non-transferable) $2.00. Children's, until July 11, $1.00; after July 11, $1.21.

The neetl for oil and gasoline for war purposes and the disposition of private Inter ests to Interfere with production has brought on a crisis which Is likely to rosult In some Bpectaculur conse quence. It might mean even tho comman deering' of all oil fields, wells and means of production and transporta tion for the period of tho war. ' Months ago a leasing bill was worked thru the house and senate and sent to a non-active conference committee where It now reposes. A shortage of oil measured at 10,000 to 30,000 barrels a day Is re ported by the oil producers. The oil fields are not -being work ed as they should be owing to the protracted feud over rights to take oil from lunds which have been set aside as naval reserve and lands which have never left the govern ment possession. Incidentally there Is likely to be a general overhauling of the oil ad ministration In Garfield's fuel de partment. Some of the men selected to help Garfield deal with the oil and fuol problems have been recent ly found to he connected with the In terests which Attorney Ceneral Gre gory is fighting. For the sake of harmony some of these gentlemen will bo ousted. What congress will do with the leasing bill depends now on wha the president will do with tho question whether to commandeer the oil fields and pipe lines.
