equipment. The increase iu the cost of
labor and the even greater expansion
in tnat no materials necessary for oper
ation and equipment and improvements
have entered as a factor in cutt'n dowii
the net profits. However, there should
in the near future be at least some
change of a favorable character both in
the matter of expenditures and receipts.
The government's reduction in the
prices of materials, as already I have
intimated, will aid on the one hand.
On. the other, hand the fact that the
roads are beginning to benefit by the iu
creased rates recently authorized by he
interstate commerce commission also
will aid. It would be in line with the
more recent liberal attitude of the gov
ernmcnt toward business affairs if fur
ther increases in transportation rates
should be authorized. The government's
price policy in the instances of steel,
iron, copper, etc., admittedly has been
liberal. The extension of the same pol
icy to the railroads would, I believe,
do much to influence a successful nc
gotiation of the present crisis that has
so naturally followed our entrance into
the war.

and at prices that still are profitable.
About Fixed Prices.
The establishment of fixed prices con
ti'is of course the possibility of bene
fits ae. well as disappointments. It meant
that domestic orders those of a nou
war character now may be executed.
Construction in various directions n.ay
proceca cn n reasonably safe basis. Tift
a to 'ja7, industrial and otner enter
prises which prudently declined to un
dertake new extensions when it was
reasonably certain that cheaper basic
materials would soon bo available now
will feel they can proceed without this
anticipated loss of capital. But with
the present high scales of wages in in
dustrial circles, and with the admitted
prosperity in the agricultural sections,
there seems no reason to believe that
we are to experience in the immediate
future any substantial reaction in do
mestic business. Another phase of the
price-fixing problem concerns the rail
ways, which are among the largest con
sumers of many of the articles upon
which the government has established
arbitrary figures. The reduction in the
price of coal must, for instance, involve
a substantial curtailment in the operat
ing costs of tho transportation lines. .
Coal, Iron and Steel.
So. too. the reduction in quotations
for copper, and especially for iron and'
steel products, ot which tne railroads
are, as is well known, by far the Jar
gest domestic purchasers. It is estimat
ed, for example, that in the year 1918
the purchases of iron and steel 101 ac
count of our own government and for
that of our r.'bes will not much exceed
7,000,000 tons. This will leave about :'6,
000,000 tons for home consumption, con
tracts involving which may be phced
on the same teims as are available to
the government. This situation applies
in measurable degree also to copper.
Hence the reduction in prices of mater-.
ials can well provide greater confidence
on the part ot important interests iden
tified with the development of home en
terprises. Witiiia the last few weeks es
pecially there has been a noticeable re
duction in the creation of new e.itor.

Money Situation unsatisiaciory.
The eeneral mo'iev situation ma;' kcJ
reirardod as amor e tho most unsatisfac
tory o the immediate influences. Bonk
officers at this center are co-operating
with the federal reserve bank to pre
vent distressing strain during the per
iod that subscriptions to the new war
loan are being filed. A special commit
tee comprising these bank officers has
received pledges that a very largo sum
will be rjrovided (o- which' 200,000,-
000 is immediately available) to be loan
ed out at the committee s niscreuon n
nnPflnrl for the Tjuroose of stabilizing
the monev position. It is expected mat
by this means the credit resources of the
federal reserve DanK win ie iimiiu avail
able as needed. The announcement of
the committee's plans which was pub
lished early in the week was responsi
ble for an easier position for demand
loans. It is. in my opinion, however,
not an altogether adequate form of re
lief. If funds should be made available
for fixed maturities, if time money
should be freely obtainable for periods
of three mouths at, say, about a per cent
this would constitute a more direct
source of relief. It would carry over to
the New Year, thus enabling the success
ful negotiation of a period wnen tne
strain, even in more nearly normal
times, is usually such as to suggest cau
tion.
Ho Need of rear.
The almost unintcrnptcil decline in
quotations appears to be producing some
degree of unnecessary nervousness.
While our government is requiring such
large sums fcr war purposes other fin
ancial requirements must, not unnatur
ally, be restricted correspondingly.
Washington has first call upon our fi
nancial facilities as well as upon the
products of our agricultural, industrial
and other activities. That such is the
case no one will complain in view of the
great crisis. But it is not necessary to
lose our mental grasp of the situation
and become frightened at prospects that
do not in fact exist. The material bene
fits that are to accompany this war
hardly can be exaggerated. In the long
run they cannot fail to appear in a
very practical way through securities of
the corporations whicn are so ciosciy
identified with our country 'a activities.
Will Come Out All Bight
We are to emerge from the struggle in
a far more prosperous condition than
any of the other grpat nations whose
participation antedated our own by
nearly three vears. In that long period
our manufacturers, our farmers and all
other American interests enjoyed a per
iod of entirely unexampled prosperity.
Our industrial plants were tuned np to
the highest pitch of efficiency, our la
bor had attained the highest degree of
skill in the various departments of man
ufacturing. Therefore, regardles of the
further duration of the war, we as a
nation will enjoy the advantage of hav

GREAT SHOW GIVEN
AT OREGONSTATE
PRISON BY INMATES
Big Crowd Attends and Red
Cross Will Receive About
$150Jet
It is said that the uniform makes
the soldier and that the costume makes
the actor. .. -
Last night at the Oregon stato pen
itentiary, as tho curtain rose, it was
hard to realize that the show was being
given behind iron bars and that about
two dozen alert guards were strictly
on the job to seo that the actors re
turned to their proper quarters at tho
close of the cnertainment. "'
For in every respect the show was
so good and the men bo little resembled
what one would naturally expect to
see boarding at the stato expense, that
there was a disposition to almost for
get surroundings. It was a good show,
not from the novelty of the situation,
Dut rrom tne tact that the actors and
specialty men were far better than
those often seen on the professional
stage, whero instead of trusty guards
are immature boys and girls selling
candy asd prize packages.
"Tho Merry Monarchs of Minstrel
sy" were under the personal direction
of Jack Gordon, who demonstrated
that perhaps some time when he real
ly wants a sure enough job, there
should be one waiting for him in the
show business.
Julius Ward, who sang "The Man
Behind the Hammer and the Plow"
aiso nas tne talent to hold cown a
regular engagement on a vaudeville
circuit sometime, out not just now.
And the same may bo said of Fred
Taylor whose song "Borrow from
Me" and his confidential Btory of tho
leading actors caught the fancy of the
crowd, we seems to be lett over irom
the old Haverly minstrels days and is
a lot more interesting than many of
the vaudeville stars seem in Portland.
James DuMonte, the Belgian, would
pass for an artist anywhere. He paint
ed all the scenery and then showed ad
ditional talent by reciting "That Old
Sweetheart of Mine" according to
true profcsional ethics. He also seems
to have talent enough to hold down
a real job, sometime.
Others who deserve credit for the
best entertainment ever given at the
Oreiron state penitentiary are Oscar
Johnson, stage manager; Charles Healy
who had the big job of costuming and
the electrician, Thomas Higginbothsm,
who handled the lights according to
the latest lighting effects.
The paid admissions number 617. As
there was considerable expense in
making costumes and other incidentals
which always run into money, the Red
Cross will probably receive about $l"i0.
As the entertainment was so entire
ly satisfactory in every way, it is
probable that an effort will be made
to have it given again next month
for the Red Cross- The principals all
have several extra songs on hand and
doubtless they would be glad again to
give the services of all for the benefit
of the Red Cross.
And adding greatly to the entertain
ment was the effective work of the

How Catarrh is Contracted
Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless
ss to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation of
tho mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, a disease that is sel

burden. Many persons who have this
loathsome disease will remember hay

was contracted. A littlo forethought, a

might have been avoided. Obtuiuabla
