The police, according to Nine. Hag-

SALES DAY.

After having thoroughly investigat-
ed the plan in operation in other Will
lamette valley towns, and being con-
vinced that the undertaking possesses
merit, the Dallas Commercial club,
through committee appointed for the
purpose, has decided to promote a
Sales Day, and the first event OF this
character under its auspices will be
held on the last Saturday of the pres
ent month. A considerable number
of farmers throughout the county have
declared their intention Of partici-
pating in Sales Day, and with the CO.
operation and encouragement Of this
element failure is quite impossible.
The interests of city and country are
practically identical-one cannot sue
ceed without the Other-and therefore
cooperation in things material must
necessarily result in the upbuilding of
a greater and more prosperous com
Sales day not only offers op-
for business transactions
among the farmers themselves, but
opens the way for enhancing better
social relations between the entire
populace of the county.

DOOMED BY WAR.

1t is frankly conceded by those con-
nected with the automobile trade in
this country that this line of business
has profited immensely as result of
the European war. Of course the
American people have bought liberal
ly during the past year and longer,
and the number of cars in use has
increased rapidly, in spite of the fact
numberless cars are annually wrecked
and also that a considerable portion
of them are getting so old and worn
they have to be discarded entirely.
But the war demand for autos has
taken an immense number of Ameri-
can cars. and, in addition to this, the
cutting off of the European supply
from foreign countries not directly
in the war has resisted in
giving American manufacturers prae-

FIXING THE BLAME.

The American people will heartily
approve the efforts of the government
to fix responsibility for the defects in
submarines resulting in such deplor-
able accidents as the loss of the F-4
in Honolulu harbor and the deaths of
its entire crew. Immediately after
this accident occurred there were ug-
ly rumors of defective construction
for this class of boats, and the gov
ernment is now trying to find out who
was to blame for such errors. AT
Boston, last week, Rear Admiral Will
liam T. Little Jr., retired, has been
placed on trial before a court martial,
to answer charges of serious derelic-
tion of duty in connection with the
building of the F class submarines.
Admiral Little, it is explained, was
the official inspector of machinery at
the Forever ship-building plant dur
ing the construction of some Of these
submarines. And it is charged by
subordinates that the admiral was ap-
parently friendly to the contractors,
in way that hampered rigid and
proper inspection and permitted de
fects to be passed and boats accepted
by the government when specifica-
tions had not been lived up TO.
The seriousness of this charge can
not be over-estimated, for if it is true
it means a direct and personal re-
sponsibility for not only defrauding
the government, but also for the
deaths of the twenty-odd men who
met their fate in the unfortunate F-4
at Honolulu. Also it means that 9th
er lives have probably been endanger-
ed in the same manner, and that other
catastrophes might have occurred had
it not been for the discovery of the
defects of the submarines. Worse
still, if this government had gone to
war and placed reliance on these de-
fective submarines, it easily might
have been the cause of immeasurable
losses and reverses-and all because
Of the negligence, or worse, on the
part of trusted officials who failed to
perform their duty.

THE WAR TAX.

Administration officials are alarme,
at the possibility of further loss il
revenue. Months ago certain trus
companies brought suit to recove
amounts paid by them under the IVA
tax law. Their example was follow
ed by others, until at the present TIM
practically every dollar paid by thu
trust companies under the war tax
law is involved in litigation. The
first of these cases is set for trial be
fore December l. 1t is apparent thai
the administration is by no means
confident of the integrity of the law
congress enacted, for additional coun
sci has been employed to aid govern
ment attorneys in defending the suits
1t is said that unusually large retain
ers have been paid on both sides fol
legal advice.
The litigation is particularly vexa-
tious to the government because con-
gress laid the foundation for it by a
stupid blunder. The tax involved is
levied under section 3 of the 'war
tax law referring to banks and bank
ers. At the time it was passed federal
courts had already declared that a
statute identical in terms, so far as
trust companies were concerned, with
the present law, was insufficient to
make trust companies liable for the
tax imposed. 1t is said that if con-
gress had exercised ordinary caution
and drafted the war tax law so that
it should not conflict with a precedent
already established by federal courts,
the litigation could have been avoid
ed. By carelessly neglecting this ele-
mentary principle, congress virtually
gave the trust companies a mortgage
on all the revenue they have paid,
which they may foreclose by Judicial
procedure.
A decision adverse to the govern
ment would be unusually embarras-
ing at this time. In the first place,
it would mean further shrinkage in
revenues directly due to democratic
carelessness. The treasury deficit long
ago assumed ugly proportions, and
additional leakages would be damag-
ing, both financially and politically.
Furthermore, it is proposed to imme-
diately re-enact the 'war tax law,
which automatically expires Decem-
ber 81, 1915 This places the admin
istration on the two horns of dilem-
ma. If the paragraph by which trust
companies are taxed is amended, it is
a confession of error. But if it is
re-enacted without amendment, and
the courts later decide against the
of the law, a large sum in
revenues will be lost.

THE LAND SHOW.

The Manufacturers and Land Pro
duets show in Portland has fully dem
onstrated that the annual assembly
ing of the products of field and fac
tory, forest and stream, serves the
purpose of establishing closer rela-
tionship between consumer and pro-
ducer, and affords an opportunity to
the thousands of eastern visitors to
better understand the unrivaled re-
sources of the coast country, its ad-
vantages and possibilities. Oregon
has made an excellent showing of its
agricultural resources. The develop
ment of the land and the increase in
the output of manufactured articles
go hand in hand and the great joint
exposition of the industrial and land
products Of Oregon and the North
west is going to bring vast benefits to
all taking part.

Where armies used to move afoot
or in the saddle, they are today trans
ferred in auto trucks and passenger
cars. Recent reports from the front
in northern France have referred to
the passage through towns of whole
regiments, every soldier riding with
four or five others in an automobile.
Dispatch bearers ride in automobiles
when they are not mounted on motor
cycles. Generals no longer sit astride
prancing chargers, but go from place
to place more quickly and far more
comfortably in the tonneaus of tour
ing cars. Ammunition is moved by
motor. Ambulances are motordriv-
en-. 1t is a war of new inventions,
among which the automobile is by no
means the least.
Nor can soldiers be any more care
full of the cars they use than they are
of other property that is wasted IN
war. The problem of the war chauf-
feur is usually to get from one place
to another quickly. If his car is ruin
ed by the trip, there are other cars.
A system that is based on exploding,
within an hour or so, million dol
lars worth of shells and rifle cartridg-
es, does not pause TO consider the cost
of any piece of machinery. A horse
at the front, in this war, lasts five
days. An automobile lasts ten.
Probably there are automobiles In
all the armies that have been in COM
for weeks and months. There
are others which are destroyed the|
first day they go into actual use. The
average, army officers declare, is ten
days to car. It is safe to figure, in
estimates, that every auto
mobile in the French and British army
at the front will have to be replaced
by another in three days more than
a week.
Henry Ford has said he will make
no automobiles for the European arm
les, but he is getting his benefit nev-
ertheless. Even if no American cars
were to be sent abroad-and thou
sands are going over there-the Amer
can manufacturers would still be
making money out of the war, because
Europe is using all the cars that can
be made in Europe and there is no ex-
of automobiles to other mar
zets. The automobile purchaser in
he United States who would have
Fought foreign-made car if he could
10 so, will perforce take an Ameri-
AN. And while this number is not
extremely large, the number of buyers
n South America and Canada and
spain and other neutral countries who
would be getting European motors II
hey could, but are forced to take
american cars, is very considerable.
