TWO, THREE BILLION DOLLAR AFFAIRS It is rather a coincidence that the day three billions were subscribed for liberty bonds, that the president signed the war budget calling for the expenditure of ex actlv that sum. It has taken a long time for cognress to get this measure passed, and now that it is in effect, it .-a l , t I . A.1 opens the way ior tne ousiness 01 preparing ior me war. Contracts that have been made can now be signed up and the activities that will spring up on account of the war will take form. Perhaps one of thu hrst measures will .be the staining to build a fleet of ships, and of these a large number of wooden ones. The work of perfecting plans for the selective draft will also bj rushed now that the money for furnishing the necessary supplies is available. This will be one of the first moves and a month or six weeks, or at the most a couple of months will see the boys Catherine at the training camps. Now that the military side of the problem is taken care of financially, the next thing is ior congress to quit its Dlaving politics, take its individual and collective ears from the ground and do its duty in the way of arranging for food control. This is as necessary as tne military side. The country does not ask that the farmers be made to suffer. It wants them to be well paid for their labors, and to receive remunerative prices for their products. It is not the farmer, the producer, that food control is aimed at. but the speculator, and unnecessary middleman. The main cost of living now is not due to the farmer, but to the cost added to his products after they have left ms hands. The speculator in foodstuffs, who deliberately adds to the cost of living in order to enrich himself is aid ing the enemy and is a traitor to his country, just as much as though he was hindering the progress of the war in any other manner This class shou'd be punisnea as sucn enemies, and if congress does not provide some means of controlling them it can be depended on that the people will do so on their own initiative, which will be uncom fortable for the speculators. NOT ENTIRELY HER OWN AFFAIR A German paper sees a great change in President Wilson. It points out that his first statement as to Amer ica's reason for entering the war was the killing of Amer icans on the high seas, and the attacking of unarmed ships without warning. Now, this paper says, "He de clares America is in the war to destroy autocracy." There has been no change in America's position. To pro tect our citizens and our rights on the seas was the rea son for entering the war, and it is the reason we are go ing to fight the war to a finish. It cannot end until the danger of a repetition of the conditions that led up to the war are removed, and that means until Prussian militar ism is destroyed. This is a case where the same thing is stated in different language, that is all. The same paper says "Germany has a right to regulate her own affairs." Which is true so long as she regulates them in such a manner as not to interfere with the rights of others. She has no right to regulate them so ht.r ships are pirate and their crews buccaneers preying on the commerce of the world and making the sailors of other craft walk the plank, at the will of Germany. Germany has a right to regulate her affairs in accordance with the laws of humanity, and this is what America would like to have her do, instead of having a military class regulate her affairs for her. When she regulates her own affairs and deposes her military bosses, peace ior the world will be in sight ' The fellows who made the estimates for the selective draft registration lived in the east and did not under stand conditions that have prevailed in the west for several years. They made their estimates as to popula tion on the basis of average increases a's shown by the census, and did not take into consideration that immigra tion has practically ceased, and that such as reached our shores was absorbed by factories and munition plants in ' the East instead --of any of it being allowed to drift further West. Besides they overlooked the fact that the ! increased prosperity of the East caused by the war, and : the increased wages due to it, conditions that did not reach the Pacific coast, caused a loss of population in- stead of a gain. On account of this the Pacific coast , states have all fallen below the estimates in registration, j and the East is blaming the West for having a great horde of slackers. This is not thft case, for there are' practically none of this class. Oregon was the first to' respond with her quota for the uarjonal guard, and she ' came through well up to the front with her liberty loan subscriptions. Oregon is being blamed not for her own acts but tor the ignorance of a few census sharps back in Washington. j i General Goethals in deciding to build all steel ships for the fleet to replace those destroyed by the submarines, sneeringly remarked concerning the proposition to build wooden ships, that: "The timber i'nr the proposed ships was still standing in the forests." One Commodore Perry met and overcame the same difficulty. At the same time it is pointed out to the only real cample of auto crat in. America, that Oregon can furnish the lumber as fast as needed, and that properly seasoned. It does not require in these days that lumber be seasoned by being allowed to dry at its convenience. It is apparent the condition of the timber was only an excuse for the ex-: ercise of autocratic powers. Goethals has been supreme dictator at Panama so long that like others given un-1 limited powers, he has become swelled beyond his proper size with an overdose of egotism. It is stated the surplus of neatly a billion dollars re maining after the Liberty Bond oan was subscribed, is, to be turned beak t othe subscribers. It looks like this was a mistake, since there must soon be another call for! money and another bond issue. The trouble will be that with a million over-subscribed, if it is turned back, that at the next call there will be a disposition, toilet George do it," many taking the position that the issue will bej oversubscribed anyway. With this feeling abroad, the next loan would be liable to fall short It would seem the wiser part to keep what is subscribed and1' make the! second call for that much less.

DAYS OF EXCITEMENT AND WORK That peace program outlined by pro-German socialists at Stockholm divides up Europe just about as the kaiser wants it. It generously gives away anything the kaiser does not want, but does not apply the carving knife to any of the Fatherland's territory, original or acquired. It also provides for Germany retaining Alsace-Lorraine because Germnay has held it so lung since grabbing it that it has become Germanized. To give it back to France would be, so these German agents decide, "annexation."
