THE FAIR IS OVER
The state fair ends tonight after one of the most sue
cessful meetings in its history. One of the most pleasing
features was the splendid weather, cool, clear and dust
less, due to light rains just before the fair and which
proving beneficial for a little while led to the fear the
week was to be a rainy one. While there is abundant
cause for congratulation on the management and suc
cesses of the fair, there are several things that can be
improved upon with little trouble which while of minor
irvmniQnPP flrp still sufficient to cause annoyance. Of
these the Capital Journal will have a few words to say
later, but as a beginning it woum suggest uuu, me
peanuts and popcorn in the grand stand, while filling a
long felt want for some, might be carried on successfully
without some leather lunged person yelling hia i waresat
the top of his voice which is generally considerably louder
than the band.
Yesterday the house and senate conferees agreed on
the terms of the $2,700,000 war tax bill increasing it by
$250 000,000. This increase was made by added taxes on
automobiles, amusements, transportation, patent medi
cines and cosmetics, restoration of one cent tax on bank
checks, the special munitions manufacture tax of 16 jer
cent and a one cent increase on first class postage with an
agreement for a graduated ne increase on second clas
mail rates. There is yet in conference the $8,000,000,000
urgent deficiency bill over which there is expected no
debate. The soldiers and sailors insurance bill is lying in
the senate committee and will most likely go over for the
session. With these measures out of the way it is pos
sible congress may soon reach an adjournment. It needs
a rest and so does the country.
The Oregonian intimates that Governor Withycombe
has designs on succeeding himseii as governor, u so ne
will find many who have no desire to see him win. Among
these are one or two Portland gentlemen, the Hon. Gus
Moser, for one, and here in Salem there are said to be one
or two who will make the governor put the spurs to his
political steed if he does not want to see the distance flag
dropped on mm. Uther sections oi tne state aiso nave
candidates for the place, and it is quite probable Eastern
Oregon will have a strong candidate or two. As a ques
tion of geography the great Inland Empire is entitled to
almost anything it wants and can get, in a political way.
That section has had no state official, outside of a com
missioner and school superintendent since Moody was
governor. "Loretta" will have to go into active training
soon if the governor expects to make a winning race.
The sentence of. General Soukhomlinoff to prison for
life causes an exchange to say the Russians are chary
about using capital punishment. Perhaps, but the answer
will be more definite when the personal enemies of Korni
loff, who are to try him, having already condemned, re
turn their verdict and fix the punishment. If Korniloff
does not pay the death penalty then the Russian char
acter, it can be asserted, has undergone a radical changer
Japanese visitors are getting a lesson in American
hustling. The distinguished commission now at Washing
ton was simply astounded at the magnitude oi the prepar
ations undertaken and the stupendous work already
done. Kaiser Wilhelm has no doubt also learned some
thing of this, though with him it is hearsay -and not per
sonal observation, and consequently he does not realize
so well just what Americans are doing.
At Butte the exemption board reported about two
thirds of those drafted had failed to show up and only
315 could be sent to camp in response to orders. It is
significant that where strikers are most abundant, slack
ers predominate. One kind of treason naturally begets
another.
Preparations are complete for the second golden offen
sive against kaiserism which smash starts Monday, when
subscriptions for the second Liberty loan open. Three
billions must be raised- Anticipating another over
subscription Secretary McAdoo has planned to raise the
loan total to four billions if necessary, so as to take care
ot all subscriptions,
of $50 and up. These bonds pay four per cent interest
and are to oe paid in iy4Z, the government retaining the
right to pay them by 1927. This loan pays half a cent
higher interest than the first, and bonds may be con
verted into later issues at still higher interest rates if
such are ottered and the purchasers desire to make the
change. Bonds can be bought on the installment plan
with payments October 1, November 15, December 14 and
January 1J. lhe issue is exempted from taxes except in
heritance, excess profits, war profits and income sur
taxes. The first loan bonds were exemnt from super
taxes, thus giving wealthy men an advantage over the
small purchaser. This inequality is entirely eliminated
in the new issue. In this connection it might be stated
that Germany is just completing a bond issue sale which
German papers claim is being taken rapidly, and it is up
to Americans to show the kaiser and his dupes that the
American backs his government for every dollar he is
worth, and stands solidly behind the boys at the front so
long as there is a dollar in cash or a place in the world
where credit is good. Of course there will be still other
bond issues, as some seventeen millions of dollars must be
raised by next June and with the present issue taken,
there will be still ten or twelve billions to be taken care of
by that time.
It must be remembered though, that this money does
not go out of the United States, but is all to be expended
here at home, Lven the money loaned the allies is to be
spent here and will soon find its way back into circula
tion through the customary channels of trade. There will
be a vast sum returned to the northwest for spruce lum
ber, and another great, sum for ships built in the north
west, if the laborers do not prevent it. By the time the
three or four billions are expended the money will be
back in the hands of the people again and they will be
abundantly able to subscribe for additional issues.

A dispatch to the Capital Journal late yesterday after
noon was to the effect that the strike in Portland was
virtually settled.- Union leaders made the statement and
added that the men would get all their demands except
the closed shop. It was also stated the strikers would all
be back at work within a few days. It is hoped this is
true but with the uncertainty shown in San Francisco
and the refusal of the boilermakers union to even obey
the rules of their organization, outsiders will believe the
strike is over when work is resumed, not when labor sim
ply promises it.
Colonel Roosevelt at a luncheon at Minneapolis yes
terday, given by the Labor's Loyal Legion, made a short
speech, but it was long enough for him to allude to La
Follette as "the most sinister enemy of democracy in the
United Statesj" and to liken Congressman Lundeen to a
"lesser microbe." Of Senator Gronna he said he was one
of LaFollette's "me-toos."' It was a real pleasant party
from the colonel's viewpoint, and he enjoyed himself "as

Heflin having agreed to name 14 congressmen who

terday Congressman Norton of North Dakota wanted to
discuss the house Rules committee's decision not to press
investigation of Heflm's charges. Heflin objected and
Norton went over to his desk and shook him tumbling
him from his seat to the floor, a convincing argument.
Rippling Rhymes
by Walt Mason
Chancellor Michaelis in a recent speech before the reich
stag said: "Who tries to come between the kaiser and his
people bites granite." Possibly this is the reason the
government recently enlisted 2,872 dentists. What ever
it is the boys bite, whether granite or the kaiser's neck,
Uncle Sam is seeing to it that their biters are in first-
class shape.
Apparently Butte is the most disloyal city in the
United States. Of the first contingent of the draft many
failed to show up and of the second quota more than a
score have deserted. The exemption board has started a
hunt for the slackers and announces its determination to
bring every one of them back for punishment.
The kaiser sneered at America for having no armv.
It is a, safe bet he is not sneering at the American secret
service which deciphers his codes faster than his trickey
ones can make them, and also captures them when they
are thought sately hidden. It is not contempt for this
branch of the service that he feels, but possiblv it is a
feeling of rage.
German aviators are dropping notes in the American
camp in France declaring the American force is too small
to molest. Time will correct this; and when America gets
ready for business these same airmen will find the
American forces are too large to molest. As a matter of
fact these same men will have to keep their little old fly
ing machines in some cellar if they want to save them.
