PROTECTING THE PROFITEER.
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.

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

OIL FIELDS LIKELY
TO BE SEED FORI
Ily (iilson (iardiicr.
WASHINGTON'. July 9. 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.
