Last Day at Home
for First Contingent
By George Martin
(United Press staff correspondent)
Washington, Sept. 4. This is the
last day at home for the first 20,000
of America's drafted recruits.
They are quitting their jobs, arrang
ing their personal affairs and getting
ready for the final goodby less than 24
honrs awny, after which they will be
on their way to camp to learn to shoot
guns and plunge bayonets in defense
! of their government.
I They are all under orders to report
'in person to the members of the local
I exemption boards which chose them.
I By early afternoon the entire 206,000
i will be mobilized at exemption board
j headquarters from Maine to California
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
After being shown to government
.lodgings or given permission to upend
tonight at home, the men will be at
liberty until 5:30 p. m., when they will
again be mobilized at headquarters of
the local boards for retreat roll call,
i At that time one member of each
group will be chosen by the local
boards to command the party on the
way to camp
All local boards have strict orders
from the war department to watch
tueir men carefullv and, in case any of
them fall to report, or reporting, dis
appear afterward, institute instant and
vigorous search for them and turn them
over to the United States army for
trial and punishment as deserters.
Thousands of mothers, sweethearts,
niters, fathers and brothers accom
panied the boys to local board head
quarters today. In many places arrange
ments had to be made to rope off suf
ficient space around board headquar
ters to mobilize and take account of
the men. ,
An even greater mob of relatives and
friends is expected "tomorrow, when the
men Bay their final goodbys and are
off to camp.
Precautions wero taken by the gov
ernment today to make sure that no
drafted man escapes military service

' Bearing on the way.
' each mobilization camp will be
kept a list ot tho number of men eacn
board is lo furnish. A copy of the men
actually sent will go with the leader
of each group and be checked up at
the camp. And if for any renson the
number of men is not right, or if any
ot thorn have abandoned en route, tho
, local board responsible for that group
will have to iind the missing men ana
also immediately send others next on
their lists to take their places at camp,
i "Only men actually reporting and
finallv accepted for military service
at the mobilization camp," says the
.official order, "will be credited to the
quota of any local board."
Although passed and accepted, by the
local boards, these 200,000 men will be
subjected to a final, rigid physical ex
amination by army surgeons at the mo
bilization camps. None of them will be
finally accepted for service until they
have passed this examination, .
It is probable rejections will be num

military serviee of the nation by the
local boards who will not prove fit.
A number of men equal to the num
ber rejected by the army surgeons will
have to be supplied by the local boards.

iFIGHT FOR HVE CENT
LOAF IS SPREADING
Organizations Serve Notice
On Hoover That Price
Must Come Down
Washington, Sept. 4. The people's
fight for a five cent war loaf has be
gun throughout the nation.
Organized labor, the American Home
Economics association and other pow
erful organizations, today served no
tice on Herbert Hoover that cheaper
bread is possible, vital and must be ac
complished. The message was delivered through
J. W. Sullivan of the American Feder
ation of Labor, consumers' representa
tive on the wheat price fixing commit
tee. "The one cent difference between a
five and si loaf loonies disproportion
ately large ou the poor man," it said.
"No sacrifices made by any one in
this war. can equal those made by the
poor man. High prices of bread his
principal food strikes him hardest and
becomes a terrific war tax on the mas
ses of population that are least able to
bear the burden."
That a five cent loaw could be mar
keted probitably with $2.20 wheat was
the argument submitted by Henry J.
Waters, president of the Kansas City
Agricultural College when the wheat
committee had bread prices under dis
cussion. There is wide difference in his fig
ures and those of the food administra
tion, which said eight cent bread was
tjio cheapest the housewives could ex
pect. The food administration estimat
ed bakers' patent on $2.20 wheat would
cost between $10.35 and $11.25 per bar
rel. Waters told the committee it would
cost $9.28 out of which tho baker
could produce three hundred fourteen
ounce five cent loaves, leaving him
$5.72 gross profit per barrel.
Bakers' representatives ridicule these
estimates as the work of "theorists"
and place the costs much higher. They
say the five cent loaf is impossible at
$2.20 wheat.
Nary, insists on tho maximum of tax
ation of war profits. .
The Minority Flan -"Briefly,
the plan of the minority,
which Was rejected by the senate in
the vote upon my. amendment is to av
erage the profits of a business for three
years before the war, to deduct this
full pre-war profit from profits made
during the war and tax by seventy or
eighty per cent the remainder. For
instance, if in threo years preceding
the war a corporation made profits re
spectively of 75,OO0, $100,000 and
$125,000, the average peace profit
would be $100,000. If. during the war.
the same concern made a profit of
$200,000 a year, from this war profit
would be deducted the $100,000 aver
aee peace profits and tax would be
levied ou the $100,000 excess war prof
its. '
'The group led by Penrose would
take of war protits 31 per cent, ine
group led by Borah and Hollis would
take seventy to eighty per cent. We
who favor high taxes on war profits
insist tho expenses of war should be
paid by those who prom oy war; mat
the burden of taxation lies least heav
ily upon the great mass of our people
when taxation can ra laia upon enorm
ous sums cornea out or our misxonune
and our nation's perils; that when the
supreme maximum sacrifice is requir
ed of humanity at least some sacriiice
should be required of the wealth made
out of humanity s sacmiec; tnat we
should not be lavish of our blood and
tender of our dollars.
"The answer made by Senator Pen
rose and his followers is that by such
taxes as we propose we injune business
and prevent productivity and preclude
the ordinary flux of industry. This we
deny. England takes now X0 poreent of
war profits and the financial experts
of England say business was never bet
ter nor profits greater.
England's System Right
"England took fifty per cent of her
war profits the first year and we gave
nnr hnsiiipns concerns 100 per cent:
England took sixty per cent of her
wn nrnfits the second year and 'we
gave our people 100 per cent ; England
took 80 per cent the third year and we,
tremblingly and timidly, will take 31
per cent and give to those who made
literally billions out of war travail and
crises, practically seventy per cent of
this year's war gains.
"Every dollar we refuse to take to
ilav from those fabulous war profits,
profits wnicn gave tne pai-mms giuunu
for calling tuis a corporation war, mum

hant and small property owner ana
the average .citizen. Today we have a
financial reservoir upon which to draw

people have created by tlieir patriotic

"They mean that we shall wait un

"Then the full bill must lie paia oy

cent olso produced a very unsettled
feeling. None of our large business con
cerns object to the appropriation of a
liberal share of their extra profits to
the purpose of war taxation. But large
profits are positively needed by many
of these eonctrns to offset extraordin
ary risks and to provide capital for the
expansion forced upon them by exigen
cies of the war. It would be folly to
distribute these profits as dividends
'THREE TEACHERS

More Resignations to Take
Better Positions
The time for resignations of teach
ers of the city schools who have con
tracted for the coming year has passed,
as the law enacted by tho hist legisla
ture requires that all resignations be
handed in at least 30 days before the
beginning of the school term.
Hence the three resignations pre
sented to the school board last evening
will probably be tho last, that is, if
the teaejior intended to continue teach
ing. There is no law against a teacher
resigning if she or ho is thinking of
getting married, or doesn't intend to
teach any more.
The three resignations presented to
the board last evening were from Miss
Daisy Carter of the' Highland school,
Miss Charlotte Irene Snere of the
Grant school and Miss Bertha Edwards
of the high school. Resignations are
always accepted by the school board
as they have nothing else to do than
to accept. : rt ,!jg
The five new teachers elected arc:
J. W. Lconhardt of Woodburn who
will teach science and athleticB in tho
junior high schools. His salary ig $!5
a month.
Miss Alta'M. Patterson of Hayes
ville will teach in the elementary
grades and Miss :Floy A. Button also
in the elementary grades, at $"5
a month.
Mechanical drawing will be taught
in the high school by Frank Strubble
of Corvallis. His salary is $110 a month
R. G. Heater of Newberg will bo
head of all the physical training in tho
schools. His salary is $110 a mouth.
Miss Mollie Campbell thought she
should have her salary raised from $90
a month to $95 and wrote the school
board Suggesting the idea. The board
couldn't see it, and tho little increase
in salary was not granted.
Tho installing of automatic program
clocks in the different rooms to savo
time in the calling of classes was sug
gested by Superintendent Todd. As but
three members of the school board
were present, and there was no special
big hurry about it; the suggestion was
passed up until the next meeting.
bid for the uecessary now capital at
exorbitant rates. Moreover, immense
sums are needed to finance daily trans
actions at current high prices, not to
speak of the heavy increase of costs of
production in all lines. It is hoped,
therefore that the government will be
able to curb the radical tendencies in
the legislature, which are not only un
patriotic but will if persisted in inevit
ably embarrass the government in its
conduct of the war. Incidentally, it
may be stated, the delay in the price
fixing and revenue bill programs is a
serious hindrance to business,
Another factor of uneasiness has been!
the gigantic appropriations, reported as'
high as $20,000,000,000 for the current
year. These are staggering figures. It is
quite natural to wonder where such vast
sums are to be obtained without injury
to the development of industry. There
is no reason, however, for exaggerated
alarm. About $7,000,000,000 of this mon
ey will be appropriated to our allies for
expenditures here. Another big sum will
go to the shipping board for new ships.
Both these items must be regarded as
assets, and the expenditures will stim
ulate industry, at homo. Our own future
outlays for the war are estiniatcd at
about $10,000,000,000, which snm, huge
as it may scein, is easily within our abil
ity to meet, because it is'Bimply auth
orized and will serve to carry the war
well beyond the fiscal year. The auth-'
orization of these vast amounts does
not mean their immediate withdrawal.
They will be raised gradually, and must
be an exhibition to Oermany of our fi
nancial determination to carry the war
to a successful finish
Peace prospects are strengthening.
The crumbling of Austria as a result
of the splendid Italian victories is im
minent. The allies are also Wearing
down their opponents on the western
front; while Germany seems unable to
carry on any vigorous movement agaiust
Russia, except through intrigue. Ger
many is beaten but not broken. Presum
ably her government will not yield, ex
cept to military defeat without or to
political pressure within, which is stead
ily growing. President Wilson's answer
to the Pope's pence proposals was mag
nificent in spirit and sound in policy.
It clarified the issues between Ger
many and the allies; so that every Am
erican can easily understand for what
we are fighting. It showed that the
United States seeks nir gain for her
self; but stands for justice and free
dom between all nations, great audi
small, and reparation for the wrongs
done, without vindictivenes or revenge.
The president stands clearly for th
open door, and is opposed to all forms !
of trade restrictions that would lead to
international friction or jealousy. ni
boldness in asserting that te present
German-Prussian government cannot be
trusted, and that the future of Gcr
many should rest with the German peo
ple is wise and will have far-reaching
effects. The message as a whole, if it
could only reach the German people,
would undoubtedly hasten peace.

Newport, Or., 8ept. 4. Hupremo in
importance to the people of this vicinity
during the post week was the Siletz
Indian fair, which was attended by a
large number of local parties who have
mado the eighteen mile hike or auto
trip to their great satisfaction aud
much benefit.
Held on tho Silct reservation where
the Indians have mode their home for
many years, many of their old customs
as well as those that are new, gave ty
pical Indian aspect to the principle fea
tures of the celebration. Of particular'
significance was the contract between
the Indian as the native and the red
inau as a product of government instruc
tion. This phase was depicted ill ex
ceptional clearness by the numerous ex
hibits by the children and the accom
plishment of the older Indians them
selves. During the three dnys of the fair,
music was furnished by the Cliemnwa
Indian Band and the organization re
ceived generous praise at the hands of
the crowd. On account of many or
iginal members enlisting in the army
this band has now a number of young
sters and their efforts were appreciat
ed heartily by all attendants.
Newport continues to hold its own
as a summer resort and it is estimated
that the crowd now at Newport exceeds
that of previous years at this time of
the month. I'.ach incoming boat brings
