Here are the state capital departments either in Port land now, or in process of removal there. Fish and game, state highway commission, insurance commissioner, in dustrial accident commission and commissioner of labor, Of course the dairy and food commission and probably some other state departments have always been in Port land. . We know that we will be accused of "Salem hog' tendencies if we protest against the virtual removal of tn capital to Portland, but we want to go on record as op posing the move fully as much as on account of Southern Oregon and Eastern Oregon as of balem and the Wil lamette valley. Portland is too large for the good of the state now, It attracts virtually all the capital and all the industries coming to Oregon, and has so fixed railroad freight rates that few industries can exist outside of that city. Now it is being planned to move the Portland and thus make its and state legislation more complete than it is at the present time. We think the ties outside of Portland ought to unite against this scheme. Another thing ought to be thought of when Portland reaches out and grabs an industry or an institution from one of her smaller neighbors. The state at large cannot prosper and develop unless small cities. The Willamette become a highly developed and Eugene grow into live, markets for the products of the valley about them. Port land, also, would prosper more in the long run from the tribute paid by larger surrounding towns than it does now. It is starving to death at the present time because it is overgrown and has done nothing to develop the ter ritory upon which it must rely for support. Because everything in the state commercially and politically should not be centered in the one big city, the Capital Journal makes its protest against the proposed re moval of the various departments of the state govern ment to Portland. Portland very generously does not want any of the road money all the streets and roads of Multnomah coun ty being paved. All the biggest city in the state asks is that all the permanent roads built in the future shall con nect up with her pavements. Of the first six million dollars of state road money spent 80 per cent of it was spent with this end in view, the most of it on the Columbia river highway, east and west of Portland. RIPPLING By Walt LIFE IS EXPENSIVE. My week of honest toil is done, subsided is my smoke ; I draw down quite a bunch of raon and yet I'm always broke. My friends remark, "With what you earn exist ence should be sweet; you should have heaps of coin to burn, and live in Easy street." But, oh, the fierce and frightful cost of everything that's made. My bank ac count looks like a frost, when all my bills are paid. The dentist plugs my hollow tooth, nor heeds my shrieks and groans, and when he's done he says, "In sooth, my charge is twenty bones." The surgeon amputates my limb, and feeds me pills of nux, and says, his manner stern and grim, "Dig up a hundred bucks." Mechanics, men of wondrous skill, repair ray buzz-buzz cart; and when they bring along their bill I have a broken heart. I spend some coin at every turn, no charge is ever small; it makes no odds how much I earn, I have to blow it all. Last night I met a mil lionaire, grown rich on oil and steel; he wished to ride, but lacked the fare, and borrowed half a wheel. The soul re pines, the spirit droops, existence comes so high; will prices ever loop the loops? Will profiteering die?

If should not be serious nor should it last long. It can, if you will help, be almost entirely averted. Fundamentally, business conditions are sound. The world's demands are enormous, the world's surplus en tirely inadequate. As soon as producers can get to work effectively upon producing things to supply these great demands, business will boom. There are two interrelated difficulties in the way. One is what is so glibly called the transition from a war-time to a peace-time basis." It takes a little time for manufacturers to get orders in, to alter machinery or arrangements, back again from producing airplanes to producing pianos, for instance. Arid there is a certain doubt as to which is going to sell better in the immediate future, anyhow, airplanes or In war industries the production has to stop entirely, the other to be organized all over again. There is the same hesitation as to how the future will shape itself. The other difficulty, is "purely psychological." It is excess caution, amounting to fear. If fear grips the con sumer, his fear is passed along to the producer. He fears to go ahead making. He fears to employ labor. Then labor, naturally, cannot buy things, and there you are hard times for everybody. To avoid this let evervone take courage. Let him buy what he needs this week without waiting in the cau tious state which breeds hard times. Don't wait to buy your dozen eggs today, lest the price drop tomorrow. Be thankful you've got today's price, and buv. moderately, what you need. Don't wait to buy linoleum for the kitchen floor till next month or j i -j -J? i - i 4-:.v,4-N next season, Decause you are airaiu money may ue upl and you'll need the price for something else. Don't wait to buy decent spring clothing, or the office desk you need. If you are a manufacturer go as far as you dare in the way of new business. Holding off is the surest way to make hard times. Keeping up your normal gait, with cheerfulness in your heart and speech, is the surest way to keep things good. This is no advice toward extravagance or waste. They, too, often injure business and everything else, including your own soul. v. ; Don't buy silly things you don't need. But do buy reasonable things which you do need, in your usual com fortable, reasonable way. J Talk good business, talk the swiftness of readjustment, talk sense and courage. This is no time to be an ostrich or a bear. THE ECONOMIC It is expected that anv in it" will have an international army and navy at its dis- nosal for police purposes. It the league will often have obedience to its mandates. pressure will suffice. The tentative federation allied powers that will organize and control the league, have already in their hands the bulk of the world's raw materials essential for industry or war. Suppose, now, that Germany should undertake to DreDare for another great war. She must get copper and 1 . 1 . .,' cotton in great quantities irom vmenca. one must iron ore from Sweden and France, bne must get tin irom the Dutch East Indies, rubber from Brazil, hides from Argentina, wool from Austral lead from Spain. The League oi JNations, sources, aware oi snipments easily discover the menace and shut off supplies. The preliminary preparations for such control have already been made. "Well, now vou're independent," says England to Ireland. "What are you going once the Sinn Fein is at a loss, The Povernment finds it suspending of shipbuilding in strikers have attended to that The Germans used to laugh at Americans as "woman- worshippers". And now they have gone and enfranchis ed their women before we have. Before the present session ends all that are movable in the way of state offices will according to present indications. The state official who doesn't ask to have his salary raised and his office transferred to Portland is becoming something of a curiosity.

That everything lias compensations, Brian and" Kuth wore fast learning. Even their own misunderstandings mado them more loniont of the misun derstandings of others, and thoir sor row more pitiful. They spent happy, busy days togeth er, waiting until the doctor gavo Brian permission to take up his work again. Then when it was necessary to wait a little longer: "Only a week" the phy sician hed urged, they took a flying trip south to see Mrs. Clybornc, who sent them a check to cover their ex penses. Buth was delighted to go. Not alone because it was homo to her, and tliu.ii it would bo a pleasure to see orxe more her girlhood friends, but because tho invitation meant that Mrs. Clayborno had at last forgiven her fur marrying Brian, ana tnat suo nad come to believe in him. Then, too, Buth was anxious t0 show her baby boy to all her friends, and to the old servants who would be so delighted with "lil marse," as they were sure to can mm. Brian grew rapidly strontr and when they returned at the- end of ten days he no longer carried his arm in a sling, and his face had the ruddy hue of health. The servants had been wonderfully pleased with the baby. "Missy Ruth's coy, tnoy wore so proud of tho sol dier she had brought with her, that Kuth threatened to bo jealous, declar ing they thought more of him than of her. "It's the uniform, Buth," Brian told her when she laughingly complained, yet was so pleased she cbuld not avoid showing it. "They like the frills." "And I love what'B inside tho frills ; if that is what you call a uniform." That is a thing I never shall under stand. How you ever came to love mo in tho first place, and why in spito of my stubbornness you have kept right on caring for me." There isn't any understanding love I think, Brian: we cither love or we don't. That's all there is to it. And if we really love we love in spite of faults, uuhisppiness, sorrow, everything and anything." "I guess you are right, Kuth. You seem nearly always to bo. You should have been the lawyer, not I. Really yDU could argue a man into doing al most anything. I think you better take a law course and become, one of the firm."

"God forbid," he returned so sol emnly. that sho burst out laugnlng. "Silly, silly boy. I am just as pleaH ed to stay at home as you a to nnvc me, now that you haven't taken by work entirely away." Ruth laughingly kissed him. Then, "How nice it is to. be together, Brian. I am sure I never shall feel like compkining again, no matter what happens." "Neither shall II When I think oft how much we have to be .grateful for, Ruth, I feel like saying: 'Thank God.' Wo have our health, I was not pormn-1 ncntly injured, we have our boy, and if trying will make it so, we shall be ablo to live comfortably. 'When I think of some of the poor devils who have re turned minus legs and arms, sonio of thorn blind, I cannot fail to be grateful. I was willing to give even to the su premo sacrifice, but" "I am go happy it was not required" Ruth broke in, her eyes misting at tho thought. Brian's tone had been full of thankfulness. It seemed that all petti ness had vanished from him because of what he had gone thru because of his experiences 'overseas. He had seen death is many forms and had been often se elose to it himself that it had bred in him a seriousness never before observable a sort of solemnity, when ho talked of the war, that made him seem infinitely older and wiser. At times Ruth felt that she had a new husband ,that the old Brian had left her forever. Then there would flash out tho old, careless, care-free spirit and she would recognize the boyish fel low she had married; and be glad that it was so. Far while she loved the more quiet, more responsible man who had returned to her, she also loved the irrepressible- boy who, if he eeuldn 't do as ho wanted to couidn't have others agree with him, would do nothing.

The last three years we re ceived an average of 43 cents a pound and thee years previous 30 cents which would make an advance of about to per cent. .Now in comparing 40 per cent ad- , Vanccincut in the price of butter with whest about 100 per cent,h ogs about Jl'O per eent and mutton over 100 per cent, you will find that butter advanced much less than most of the other things HENBT JAqlTET, One of the Dairy Trust Silverton, Oregon.
