manner in which it had seconded the
efforts Of its secretary of state to Sc
cure redress.
Lord Cromer, former British agent
and consul general in Egypt, declared
there was a strong feeling in the army
against the policy OF the admiralty re-
garding the treatment of German sub
marine prisoners.
Lord Lucas, president of the board
Of agriculture. stated on behalf of the
government that the special treatment
for captured submarine crews had
been adopted, not as a policy of repri-
sal. but as an expression of the high
est moral disapproVal of German
methods. The treatment of submarine
prisoners, however. cOnformed to the
provisions of The Hague.

plain that no especial conditions have

"wantonly killing non comhatants,

WHY THIS WAR TAX?

The general public has begun lick
ing the mucilaged backs of a new
brand of revenue stamps. One hun
dred million dollars must be raised,
we are told. and the man who uses
the telephone, the telegraph, ships
freight or express, sells his land, in
sures his house or his life, or engages
in a number of other business trans
actions, must contribute.
The query may naturally arise in
the mind of the contributor to the
hundred million fund: Why this de-
ficiency tax? Why a lack of money
in the treasury? In this connection
it will be instructive to glance over
some Of the history of the last ses-
sion OF congress.
The last session of congress spent
more money than any other in the
history Of the United States. Its i'm
mediate predecessor spent $1,O57,-
605.694, but the session that ended
but a few weeks ago called on the
treasury for $1.115,5O7,777. The
call would have been even larger than
this had not Senator Burton and 9TH
er republicans beaten down the
amount of the rivers and harbors ap-
preparation by prolonged filibuster
against the opposition of the demo
cratic majority in the senate.
This enormous amount OF money
was spent by a congress controlled
by party elected on platform that
says:
I'VE denounce the profligate waste
Of money wrung from thespeople by
oppressive taxation through the Law
ish appropriations of recent republi-
can congresses, which have kept taxes
high and have reduced the purchas-
ing power OF the peoples toll. We
demand a return to that simplicity
and economy which befits a demo
cratic government, and a reduction in
the number OF useless offices. the sal
aries OF which drain the substance OF
the people. Senator j. r. Bristow

MANY FARMERS
APPLY FOR LAND

An appeal has been made by j. w.
Brewer of the Oregon migration
Commission, at Portland, for farm
owners. who have places they can
rent for the coming year at nominal
sums to experienced farmers, to list
the land with him.
I'VE are having a lot of inquiries
now" he said, from people who
want to rent farms. Most of these
people are old farmers who are now
in the city and want to get back to
the land.
If We can locate these people in
positions where they will be able to
begin farming, a lot of them will
soon be in the market for ranches Of
their own. Most of them haven't the
money now, but as soon as they can
make it will want property"

OREGON SPoRfsSIKN CALL TO

There is . strong movement by
members OF the present legislature

into the general fund; also Of doing

the whole matter into politics BY hav-

held last December.

No doubt when the commoners OF
Europe analyze the toll after the war
they will come to the conclusion that
by taking larger hand in govern

INCREASE in GOLD MINING;
1914 OUTPUT $4,000. 900

The gold mining Industry of the
United States had a prosperous year
in 1914 and regained its normal con-
dition. inzsmueh as early returns in
diezte an output greater BY Hearly
$4.OO0.0eO than that of 1913. H.D.
MeCaskey, OF the q. s. Geological
Survey. who is authority for these
figures. adds that the production in
1913 was lower than for several
years past and even in 1914 the out
put was considerably below that of
any year in the period 1sOS-Is12,
when the hish-vater mark was
reached For 1914 the preliminary
figures of the United States GeoIogi-
cal Survey and the Bureau of the
Mint Indicate a total gold yield of
s92, ,S23.5OO.
In Alaska the output of gold in
creased about 100000. the industry
was generally prosperous. and a
large amount of dead work continued
to be done preparatory to increased
output from lode mines. The placer
yield was about s1O.7OO.OOO. About
twenty-six gold-lode mines produced
about s5.1OO,O0O in 1914, against
s4.S14.s1s from thirty mines in 1913.

the great new Alaska-Juneau, Alas
ka-Gastineau and other mines, con-
tinued to be the most important lode
district.
In Arizona the mine production of
gold increased about 100000 in
1914.
In California the mines produced
over 100000 more than in, 1913.
The Grass Valley, Mother Lode and
other quartz mines continued active
producers at depth. and the placer
output, especially from the large
dredging operations, was again large.
The dredges alone produced 40 per
cent of the total gold yield and over
80 per cent of the total placer out

Colorado mines increased their
yield by over $1,5OO,0O0 above that
of 1913. the greater part of this in,
crease, Or $1,143,O0O, being made in
the Cripple Greek district. where the
mines and mills had another active
year.
In Idaho the mine output decreased
over $25O,O0O, owing largely to the
small output of the De Lamar mine,
but the dredges in Lemhi and Boise
counties had prosperous year.
In Montana the mine yield in
creased over IA per cent and the to-
tai production was about $4,000, 900,
or more than for any year since 1906.
Nevada mines showed a decrease
of about 4 per cent. or over $500, 900,
in gold output in 1914.
! In New Mexico the mine produe-
ton increased nearly 100000, but
in Oregon the output declined about
$4,000.
In South Dakota the mine output
was normal.
In Utah the mine output of gold
decreased about per cent, or over
$250,OOO, in 1914. The yield was
principally from copper ores.
The Philippine production has
steadily increased and in 1914 passed
the 100000 mark.
California again retains first rank
in gold production in 1914, followed
in order by Colorado, Alaska, Ne
vada and South Dakota, as in 1913.
Arizona and Montana have both
passed Utah, however. which dropped
to eighth place in 1914.
According to estimates from the
records of the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce, the imports in
1914 comprised gold valued at $751;
10000 and the reports were valued
at $242,711, 900.

Men Who Make Good.
(By DIR. Frank Crane. }
We are full of hidden forces.

We are full of hidden forces.
In crisis we discover powers in
ourselves, powers that have lain DOR
mant. secret reserves of ability, only
waiting occasion to leap forth.
You can tell just what strain a
bar of iron will bear, Just what
weight a locomotive can pull, and
just how much liquid a glass vessel
will hold; but you cannot tell how
much responsibility a man can carry
without stumbling, nor how much
grief a woman's heart can suffer
without breaking.
The human being is the X in the
problem of nature. He is the un-
known quantity in the universe.
The frightened boy can jump a
fence he would not have attempted
in his sober senses. A frail woman
in the desire to save her child be-
comes as strong as Sandow. A SOL
der battle-mad acquires the strength
Of ten. Get meek, timid little man
at bay and he may fight like a tiger.
The one thing nobody knows is
what he can do in pinch.
The forceful natures are those that
depend upon this hidden nerve force.
These are the pioneers, to whom the
danger from unknown beasts and
savages is welcome fillip. They
taste
That stern Joy that warriors feel
! In foemen worthy of their steel.'
These are they that love "the
doubtful ridges of the battle" that
go down to the sea in ships, sing in
the face OF the storm and laugh at
the arrows of the sleet.
These are the oyercomers.
These are the salt OF the race.
These are the born kings of men.
Carlyle's Gaming, cumming, king
men, the men who can.
They do not know what they can
do. They only know that when the
thing is to be done, possible or i'm
possible, safe or deadly, there is
some strength that surges up within
them that meets and measures with
the task.
Panic only calms them. clears
their brain and steadies their hand
while other men go mad.
Defeat only rouses in the man dog
ged strength.
Slander, sneers and curses cannot
drive them from their work; success
or praise does not make them dizzy.
They are not prudent, they are not
wise; they are not skilled and
trained; they simply make good
wherever they are put.
There is no recipe for producing
such souls. The choicest heredity
cannot breed them. schools cannot
prepare them, religion cannot form
them.
They are the men who rise to the
occasion. They are the unafraid
They are those who lose themselves
in the thing to be done. and do IL
and care not for heaven or hell OF
for their own life.
The supply of such has never
equalled the demand. Every bust
ness enterprise wants them, ever,
profession cries for them.
They are not heroes. They are
better, they are men.
When you meet them they seen
commonplace. often shy and awk
ward.
But don't be deceived. They are
the only really Great Men. For they
are the men who make good.
