OKCRKTAKY OF TIIK NAVY PKXMY wiints tin I.ir-est navy in!

Secretary of AVar AVooks wants a larper army than f-onress,!
shows any tiisposition to allow.
AikI now. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, connnentini: npoii
nniiu;!l expemlituivs of five I)ilins a year ;' says: '"Tlic nation
can not e(nitinui t sjn-iitl at this shocking rati. Substantial cuts in
current cxpt-tulitun-s offer the imly liopc uf i'ffe-iivc relief from the
tax Inirtlt'ii. '
Now if lYeshlent Hartlin ran justify these contlictinir stato
nifiits. synchronize and liarimnn'.c them, one of the greatest domestic
prohlems of his administration will he solved.
Kor U) cents. snme say fC out of every dollar spent l y the pov
enuneiit today :oes toward army and navy expenses. that is war
expenses in the past or preparation for war in the future.
The only possihility. therefore, of f.illuwiim out Mr. Mellon 's in
structions is to not follow out the instructions of Messrs. Dcnhy am
AYecks.
After noting the amazing transformations of Daniels and Baker in
the past four years, hoth pacificists retiring as confirmed militarists.
at least as far as their puhlie utterances were concerned. it is
folly to expect anything better from their successors. In fact for
any cabinet secretary to play down the necessity of his own depart
ment, is contrary to tradition and human nature.
Hut if there was ever a time to consider reduction of armaments
that time is now. The great necessity both in this country and the
world is to put the house in order. return to normalcy stop wast
ing money and start making it. The first step in this process as Sec
retary Mellon says is to make substantial cuts in current expendi
tures, and no substantial cuts can be made without first reduciiir the
army and navy appropriations.

Oh. the cops are represented as a bonchead bunch of yaks, men
whose domes could not be dented with a cleaver or an ax. Hut the
cops do things surprisinir. putting guilty jieiits in jails, thouch
they cet no advertisine; in the Sherlock kind of tales. Crimes of
mystery ending shock the virtuous and true, and we see the fly
cops wendini.'. following some feeble clue, and no AVatson with
them capers till their weary quest is done, writing up for books
and papers stories of the triupmhs won. Hy biographers forsaken,
sleuths ;o forth to earn their pay, and they oft bring home the
bacon in their drab, official way. Xot by makin-r brilliant dashes
through deduction's puzzling maze, not by analyzing ashes do
they pinch the erring jays. Just by stern and patient plodding,
just by using honest brains, they put down the base marauding
of the sinful jakes and janes.

ON CASH BASIS
AFTER MAY 5
We have decided to adopt a strictly
cash basis on and after May 5th.
On this basis we are enabled to sell
for less than under the credit system,
as we do not have any losses and less
overhead exiense, and the public re
ceives the benefit.
.Many of the largest successful con
cerns in the United Slates today are
on a strictly cash basis and it is the
modern way of conducting business.
The cash basis does not apply to
car and truck sales. They w ill be con
tinued on the part cash and balance
with contract and secured note.
We thank you for your liberal pa
tronage in the past, which has caused
this business to grow from a small be
ginning to one of the largest of its
kind in southern Oregon, and solicit
your continued patronage.
