Kool laws, restricting capital, wllhln and without thu state, can whit Tor adjustment. Oregon's Inter, est in fisii and yamo is cue of the reasons why it is four jumps behind California and Washington. Under tho present system, tho poptili know when tho hluejay sheds its tail feath ers, but Is very vague regarding the amount of standing timber, tho unde veloped mineral resources, and the possibilities of irrigation In tho arid KjH.'ts. In most sections of tho earth thu idea is to make two blades of grass grow whero one grow before. Jn Oregon tho idea is to catch two fish where they caught but one lust year. Last Htiiuiuer a millionaire lnnnii facturei' of collars fur humans visited ('rater Lake, lie stated that alter he had taken two looks at the scenic wontler, thorn was nothing to do all day, lint eat half baked trout, and wait for sunset on tho waters. He cussed berauso there was no billiards, no golf, no nothing, 'lie gave a man ?2 for a deck of cards, with which lo play solitaire. The deck was the only one in I0 miles. Tho jack of spades was missing. He ' testified that he hud tt cheap and miserable trip. 17 VKIiYTlIINTi in Bedford has gone up but tlio news ' papers. Shoes, beds, butter and eggs, dry goods and hardware, everything needed by man or woman has in ereased in pru-e anywhere troni 100 to -100 per cent, whih the newspapers have stood still. Now tin time litis come when the newspapers must go lit. or go out of business. The first of the vear the Mail Tribune signed a new wage scab; with the Typographical union. Uie old scale is increased approximately ;jd pel cent. Floor men are advanced from $22.50 to" $34.50 a week, machine men from 2o.o0 to $36 per week, foreinei I roni !r'.i..j(l to .j:j per week, while wages ot other cm ployees have been raised proportionately. The wage in crease in the composing room alone will cost this office over .!00 per month. beginning the first of the year, paper that formerly cost $.J.oU a hundred will cost 7.80 a hundred, an increase of over 120 per cent. The cost of ink, metal, wire service power, have all jumped sky ward,iraiiging all the way from 150 to :J00 per cent, 'f he -increase in the price of news print alone in this office will mean an additional expenditure of if-Mu per month. Needless to say the income of this business must be increased in proportion. For the time being'! he publishers have decided not to raise; the subscription rates, but will endeavor to make up the deficiency by an increase in ad vertising rates. This policy to be successful must mean not only a higher advertising rate but a larger volume of ad vert lsmg business. The Mail Tribune's circulation is now larger than ever hoi ore. As a newspaper it compares favorabl y "with many coast papers which enjoy a lar stronger advertising sup port, and draw revenues from communities far more thick iy populated. It merely asks now for what it is entitled to, 1 c l... t i . i i , ' . i tiiii jut wiuii, jt, ju a oeitei position man ever, -to give run value in return. DRAFT HIM.

Hi! was invited to speak at the Jackson Day hanquet in rorlland, lor example, it being generally under stood that a large supply of democratic lightning might be generated in the process. Mr. Hoover declined. He not only declined but he took the next train for New York. And before departing he is sued a public statement formally denying he was a can didate tor the presidential nominal ion on either ticket, and politely informing the -political Hooverizers they were wasting their lime and his. June! J lie best indication that Mr. Hoover is qualified loriiiejoi) oi president is hisrel usal to consider it. Its th small fry incompetents who would sell their souls for six votes at the convention. 1 he really big men, the men win are not only competent to handle the job, but really under stand what the ,)ol means, never want to mix hi the politi cal preliminaries u iiiey can Help it. I. ut; upon Ins depart.ure Mr. Hoover also gave out a statement, ol winch the following is a part: "There is no grc.-und for hysteria on cither sido of the Atlantic. The limo is Hearing when this country must cease to carrv tho economic bur den of Kurope excep; thru charity and ordinary business processes." "Tho world needs to get away from tho notion of governmunlal help, both Internally and externally, and get back to work and business." "I emphatically disagree Willi the statement being- circulated by Kuro pean propagandists either as lo the volume, of lOuropean financial needs from Iho I'nlted Stales or their suggestions that tho gxeat bulk ot these needs cannot bo met by ordinary com me'rciul credits and that thus our treasury needs lo lie drawn upon for new loans. Aside from some second ary measures of our government, the problem Is one of ratil'icat li.ii of peace and ordinary business processes, and not one of increasing our bur denl or taxation. Our taxes are now tint) per cent over pro-war rates, while no t.ue of the allies has increased taxes more than IUU per cent. We simply cannot incr easo this burden," : j I'retty good doctrine and from a man who knows what he is talking about. AVe repeat, the more we see of this man Hoover, the better we like him. I COMMUN-rCATIGM. Agrees With the TrWtu To (lie I-Mitor: As the nuestion lias been raised anient: llie opponents of the lencuc. as lu I he proper counting of I he votes, of the different liroposilious on the hallol. which was advanced bv Ihe .Mail I riliune lo determine the sentiment ol the people in the countv as lo lite ratification of the l.cairue of Nations covcnunl, mid as 1 dif fer in opinion with .Mr. iewhurv nnil .Mr. Watson, 1 hereby slate mv rea sons why. -1 When the straw vide closed it was announced bv the Mail Tribune in ino toiiowmir manner: there were i!) voles east bv Ihe mild rescrvation isls, there were 10- votes for the treaty iiist as it is: .'Hi for Ihe Lodge reservations, and -I.'! voles lor total rejection. In the who volcd for total re jection, and the 'li! who voted for the Lodge reservations, we have a total of 7ti votes which can logically be counted against the covenant, as in mv estimation that is the wav thev .-luiuiil be counted, for the Lodge res ervations were )t-s'encd in such a nav lhat thev would Kill the cov enant, lis far as Ihe 1'nited Stales is concerned, and thai was the in IcnliiHi of Mr. Lodge and his cohorts in the senate. There is a strong distinction be tween the Lodge rescrvationists and the mild rescrvationists, fr die Lodge group In their first attempt to hill Ihe eiucnant. advanced a number of strong amendments, which were of vicious character. When the vote Co. was taken in the senate! on those amendments, the ,nilil rcservutiotiisN joined witli the treaty exponents in Ihe .senate, and defeated the amend ments. Taking this as an example. of the feeling throughout the countrv. I do not believe that the mild rescr vationists wish to have their votes' east together with tho Lodge pruposi lion on the hallol. Thev are not in cord and never w ill be. II is mv belief thai tho mild reser- vnlioiusN. ran wilh fairness be Minted, for lliose who nre I'orYati- Jicatioti just us it l. Tills Would make llil voles who nre in favor of preserving- the league covenant, mnl ill voles who wish to kill it. That will make a lillle ever 1 lo 1 maioiitv lor those who wish to preserve the league covenant. Kespectfnllv vours. PKLISKHT MAliSlIALL. Central I'oinl, .Innunrv b'. "It's the lMinc" To Ihe L'dilor: There are over a million people in Ihe I nilcd States, well-to-do, who are looking for iust. such a place lo live in as Ihe liogue Uiver valley, wilh its most beautiful nooks bv pure mountain streams, through which passes our paved Pacific Highway. Therefore while tlrants l'ass seem ingly started Ihe slogan of "It's the Climate." we are anxious to see ev ery resident of this beautiful and healthful vallcv gel a stamp as his slogan "It's Ihe Climate." and use it on all his mail nnd when your Iriends come from the east, north or south as the case mav be. vou have a natural meritorious nuestion to talk about. A. li. COUNLI.L. Senator Lodge Itecomes Mlhl To the I-Mitor: There slill seems lo be some slight atmospheric disturbance following the straw ballot controversy center ing mainly annuel the lieactinnarv's oucstion Xo. relating to where the line should be drawn between strong reservations and mild reservations and the editor's reply thereto. In his reply, the editor suvs: ''The strong reservations are. known us the Lodge reservations, drawn nut to Americanize the peace treaty and league of nations but kill it. The mild reservations represent the disposition of men like Senator McXarv of Oregon to preserve the league and treaty intact:" ami again, 'the foreign relations committee's amendments were all defeated and then in substance these identical measures were reintroduced as res ervations and used as scrap iron to throw into the senatorial gear ease:" and again, ''if these reservations are passed it means resubmission of the peace treaty, probable destruction of the league, and general world bit terness and confusion again." Xow. as the editor ami" unite a, good many others show a disposition to interpret these reservations to suit themselves, it might he well to eon- suit the authors of these reseryitions ami see wnere tnev draw the line on the reasonable assumption that thev. better than anyone else, should know what thev mean. Afer the defeat of Ihe treaty the senate on November 10th Senator .MeCumber. who is known as the mildest-of the 'mild reservationists, visited the Pacific coast and in a longthvt interview in the Oregonian slated that the fourteen so called Lodge reservations that lie and the oilier mild reservationists had. sup ported on the Kith, represented a compromise on which all who believed in Americanizing the covenant could unite nnd in which the mild reserva tionists had taken a Icadine- and con trolling part in drafting. Ho fnrther positively stated that these majority i oinmit lee reservations do net do- Irov the treaty but makes it clear er while preserving the constitutional lights ol Ihe t'nitcd Slates: nnd hi further made it clear that President Wilson was responsible for Ihe de feat of the treaty. That at any lime towards tho-close of the contest if the president had released his fol- iwers thev would have voted to put the trentv through with these four Icen ' reservations. When Kennlor JleXarv visited Oregon after Ihe de Icat of the trealv.'he took substan- linlly Ihe same position in public in terviews and in private letters to his constituents. " Probably the most conclusive cvi- nence came in December after these senators had relumed to Washington. A group of senalors, headed bv Sen alor McN'mi-V, sought out. Scnali.r Lodge lo inform him (hat the stand out ileinoci-alic! senators were show- signs of revolt from the m-esi. denl's dictation and were willing to make sonic elt'orl toward an under- landing with the rescrvationisls and Senator Lodge (old Ihem. in suh sfnnec Ihis: -'These nre vour reser vations thev are not mine. Tlipv are called the Lodge reservations be cause I nm chairman of the forcinn relations connnillee. You e-entlemen drafted them nnd voted for them and I is vour privilege to stand bv them. r iirlhcrmoi'c, our allies have in the last two weeks indicated tin- mislnknhly lhat (hey are will ing io accept, me American reser vations, the l-'rench especially being iieartilv in lavor ot some of tin icservations, and now it is up lo President Wilson lo hack up from his lisli and -unconstitutional nltilnd. and allow Ihe trentv to he v,iHr;,.,l 1 Ins should clear the minds of Ibnsr. who nave honcstlv 1 cured that thes. reservations would mean n resulimis ion ol Ihe peace treaty, probable de- strueliou of the league, and general world bitterness and confusion again KKACTIOXAKY. dares that even the Ledge rescrva- j of the Tribune's interpretation of tj'e tioiis will not. destroy Hie league or straw hallol when he slarted as bit reouire resubmission of the treaty.
