What the Editors Say.
These bootleggers who try to ship
liquor into Oregon in trunks forget
the prowess of the baggage smashers.
—Eugene Register.

Our grandparents, should they come
back, would be astonished at our ex­
travagance about our homes and in
our method of living. Yet to most of
us, it seems strange that they found
quite as much of real happiness in
this life as we do—if not a little more.
—News Reporter.
Talk about your mean men—here is
a story about a man in Colorado who
is forced to pay $45 a month alimony
to his divorced wife and who makes
the payment regularly in copper pen­
nies. And to still further show his dis­
respect he recently gummed up the
coins with glue and molasses, thereby
causing additional annoyance and
vexation.—Observer.
> This is likely to be remembered in
after years as the junk dealers’ golden
age. Old, discarded machines and
other metals that for years have been
kicked into old corners have taken on
sudden values and been eagerly gath­
ered up. Garrents full of old maga­
zines have become vertible treasure
houses. Rubbish has been found to be
precious.—Umpqua Valley News.

In its 1917 report to the state leg­
islature the state board of health
states that there were 642 more
males born in the last two years than
females while in the same length of
time there were 2,612 more deaths of
males than of females. In other words
in the last two years approximately
two thousand more females were ad­
ded to the Oregon population than
males.—Sheridan Sun.
It is necessary to make the laws
more liberal to encourage industrial
development. Prohibitive measures
keep out infant industries that would
dovelop into large industries that
would be a benefit to many small
towns in Oregon. Industrial activity
in Oregon and the coming session
of the legislature should make every
effort to hold down taxes to progres-
sive and pass no legislation adverse
to industrial and commercial develop-
*ient.—Banks Herald.
Former Senator Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., president of the Republican Pub­
licity association, stated in a bulletin
¡Bsued recently that 10,000,000 per­
sons entitled to suffrage failed to vote
at the last election. "According to the
census of 1910,” said Mr. Bourne
"we had a possible voting population
of approximately 25,000,000, but the
actual vote cast in 1916 was but 15,-
000,000. Ten million people or 40
percent of the total number, did not
go to the ballot boxes.”—Itemizer.

Union labor counts millions of
friends who cannot go with it all the
way. To the average citizen who is
neither the partisan of capital nor of
labor but is inclined to sympathize
with the latter, the right of any work­
ing man to decline union membership
seems fundamental. His right to re­
main non-union must of necessity
carry with it the right to work wherc-
ever the conditions suit him. If these
rights are his, then the practice of
picketing is essentially wrong.—Ore­
gon Voter.
With the direct primary, initiative
and referendum, recall, etc., as well
as a large number of commissions,
costing Oregon from $3,000 to $10,-
000 a year each, is it any wonder that
taxes are higher? Is it not about time
we were waking up and repealing a
lot of these foolish laws? It is not so
bad for the man who does not own
property, but it is pretty tough on the
other fellow. Unless something is
done, within ten years taxes will be
double what they are today, for ex­
penses are increasing rapidly and val­
uations are decreasing.—Seaside Sig­
nal.

A verdict of over eight thousand
dollars was rendered by a Marion
county jury to the father of a girl
who had been seduced and abandoned
by a young man, but the jury failed to
indict the autoist who drove on the
wrong side of the street and killed a
worthy lady teacher of the city
schools. The district attorney was
surprised at the action of the grand
jury. There are a good many decis­
ions in this state that make the pop­
ulace feel that their only salvation is
to arm themselves to be prepared for
justice in all emergencies. There
ought to be greater respect for jus-
tic.—Telephone Register.
In digging the grave for Elmer J.
Hanby in the Faternal Union ceme­
tery A. E. Schollmeyer and Sam
Thompson struck a box about two
and a half feet deep in the ground on
a supposedly vacant lot. At first it
was thought that the box might con­
tain the body of Joe West, who mys­
teriously disappeared last summer,
but it was discovered a short time
' after finding the box, that it contain-
' ed the body of an Indian, whose skel­
eton was unearthed at Wheeler two
I years ago when they were grading
the streets there. The people who
I buried the Indian either dug the grave
on the wrong lot or failed to have the
deed to the lot recorded.—Nehalem
Times.
------o------
An Oregon freak regulatory law
provides that gasoline sold in this
state must be of 60 degrees gravity
at 60 degrees temperature. The effect
of this lay was to put Oregon in a
special class requiring gasoline a trifle
different and costing a cent a gallon
higher. The gasoline sold in Oregon
gives no better service than that sold
in other states though it costs a little
more to make. It is estimated this
freak law put over by some reform
politician to make the people think he
hated the Standard Oil Co., cost the
dear people $200,000 a year. The law
is now to be repealed after costing
the people about $2,000,000 and the
$200,000 a year put in the road fund
by means of a law taxing gasoline
one cent a gallon.—Seaside Signal.
From almost every county in Ore­
gon and Washington through the an­
nual reports of the District Attorney’s
office show a great decrease of the
cost of prosecution in criminal cases.
In many counties these costs have
been reduced more than one-half, in
some of them there has been only a
small amount of criminal matters
brought into the courts. In every re­
port that has been submitted there is
liquor as one of the greatest causes
for this reduction of costs to the
counties. The same reports speak of
empty jails and a steady falling off in
the number of arrests. If for no other
reason than this the prohibition laws
of the two states warrant their ad­
option and forever doom to defeat
any attempt to appeal them.—Leba­
non Criterion.
Our Oregon dairymen get a higher
price for milk than the producers of
any other Pacific Coast state, and a
considerable higher price than is ob­
tained by dairy farmers in the big
milk-producing states of the Missis­
sippi Valley and the Atlantic sea­
board. The following figures are com­
piled from the official figures for
1916 of the Department of Agricul­
ture; they are for cents per gallon:
Oregon, 25c; Washington 20c.; Cali­
fornia, 23c.; Kansas, 22c.; Nebraska,
24c.; Iowa, 22c.; Minnesota 19c.;
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
20c.; New York, 18c.; Massachusetts,
22c. The highest prices are obtained
in the Rocky Mountain and hot
Southern states, running as high as
29 and 30 cents in Nevada, Texas
and Alabama.—Oregon Voter.
Good Resolutions.
I will try to be a lifter, not a leaner;
an encourager, never a discourager;
lighten and chare other people’s sor­
rows; start songs and rejoicing, not
complaining; make the world a little
sweeter place to live in; keep in mind
the will of God; make sunshine in
life’s shady places; see the bright side
of everything; be clean in mind and
body, working patiently, industrious­
ly, and honestly for a living; earning
a spotless character; so that I can
look up, not down, and meet death’s
coming with a fearless smile; endeav­
or not to run away from my wicked­
nesses, but bravely fight them out;
be glad of life; have hope and faith in
everybody; try to live without hate,
jealousy, temper and envy; avoid
speaking critically and bitterly, re­
peating only the good 1 hear; love
because I must, give because I cannot
keep; doing for the joy of it; cheerful
in disappointments, charitable toward
the erring and fallen; protect helpless
animals; do as I would be done by;
smile more and frown less.

gressions that organized labor, uncon­
trolled by society at large, would
make. This example was found in the
work of the longshore organization
on the waterfront of this city.| For
seventeen years the longshore unions
of Portland took what they thought
they were entitled to take from the
business, and neither shipper nor
society at large dared to question the
demand. As a result of this excessive
control by a body of organized labor,
the efficiency of longshore work on
the Portland waterfront became at
least 30 per cent less than the ef-
ficiency of the same work on the
water front at Puget Sound, where
open shop conditions prevailed, and,
while the efficiency of such work in
Portland had sunk so low, a charge
was imposed for labor here that was
by far the highest imposed in any
port of the Pacific or the United
States proper. This exaction and sel­
fish aggression of the laborer was
one of the most powerful factors in
reducing the shipping that came to
this port. By eliminating so much of
our shipping, the opportunity of the
farmer, the fruit grower, livestock
man, lumber manufacturer, general
manufacturer and jobber to market
his produce in the consuming terri-
tory of the world reached by water
routes was materially lessened and a
great injury was done the state. After
nearly a score of years of this con-
trol, society in this community, ex-
pressing itself through the Chamber
of Commerce, wrested from this
element of organized labor its abso­
lute control and put wage conditions
and efficiency on an open shop basis
and on an equality with other coni­
petitive ports.
If the steel shipbuilders of Port-
land accede to the closed shop de­
mands made upon them today, the
way would be open for the same ex­
cessive exactions and the same ulti­
mate destructive rules in shipbuilding
that prevailed in longshore work. We
are determined that such a develop­
ment shall not take place, and we
want the support of the State in this
fair position.
We note also that, during many
years of struggle here when
our '
practically ship repairing and build­
ing company had no business to
speak of, the forces of organised
labor were not so insistent upon the
closed shop. During these periods
employers were carrying men with
considerable burden unto themselves
to maintain a staff for the time when
business should come. No purpose
was expressed by organized labor to
carry a portion of these burdens and
share the losses sustained, but as
