The war system began when all neigh
bors were avowed enemies.
In the middle ages the various barons
of England and Europe generally, were
in constant feuds with each other and
each kept huge band of retainers to
fight their battles, the retainers being
housed and fed for their services.
As these gentlemen did no work, it
came to pass that the only way to keep
the larder filed was to swoop down upon
It's neighbor and drive off his flocks and
herds.
These were mighty days when human
life was snuffed out in dispute over a
game Of cards.
AS time advanced, man was not salts
fed with fiocks and herds and yearned
for bigger gain.
Land, territory, men were the prizes
he coveted.
He hated his neighbor because he
wanted to possess the country which be-
longed to him, that he might swell his
own power and wealth.
During all the ages that this system
has been perfecting itself, 70 reach its
highest point in the German army Of to-
day, the people at large have never been
part of it.
They have been pawns on the chess
board, useful for doing the labor of the
world, but dumb as to voice in the great
affairs of the country.
This, because until the ideal Of demo-
crazy was set before them they were
completely dominated by a ruling class
who usurped all the opportunities and
privileges of life.
The church and state were one and the
same for many years, ruling the people
from within and without
A vice-like arrangement which few
mortals could ever break apart
Force rather than law and the prin-
ciple of might making right was the cor
ner stone of this system.
"A nauon upheld by TINS principle must
sooner or later fall by its own weight,
in order to delay the fall it must make
conquests.
This is why the plea for miitarism
purely from the standpoint Of defense is
unreasonable.
II assumes that war is a natural con
dition of man, whereas it is, in reality
an abnormal condition brought about by
his false idea of life and the greed and
cupidity of his nature.
II is a fever which can only be eradi-

The whereabouts Of Henry Ford Of

The Ford peace party departed this
morning for Stockholm but Ford

Christiania upon his phsicians' or

A Norwegian cabinet member told
Madam Rosika Schwimmer, one OF

not ripe for a peace movement. He
said, further. that Norway will refuse
to cooperate in such movement
should President Wilson request it,

Total State and
County LeUy not
to Exceed 7 ~
LEVY WILL BE AT LEAST HALF
\ MILL LOWER THAN
LAST YEAR.

The total state and county tax viii
not exceed seven and one half mills
and, in all probability, that will be
the amount Of the levy. The county
court is meeting this afternoon to
make the order and authorized the
statement that the levy would be at
least half mill lower than the levy
OF last year.
According to the tentitive order
Drawn UP and which will doubtless
become the official order this after
noon, the seven and a half mills will
be divided as follows: for state and
county purposes 8 1850 mills; for
school purposes l 2s-60; for school
library l-6O: for roads and highways
1850 mills.
Inasmuch as all town and city
property is this year subject to the
road tax. the seven and a half mill
levy will produce more revenue this
year than the eight mill tax did last
year.
The total tax upon Pendleton prop
erty will be 26 mills, the school levy
being nine mills and the city levy
nine and half mills. This is two
and a half mills more than last year
owing to the increase in the city levy
due to the loss Of saloon revenue and
to the road tax.

2 Damage Claims
Are Presented to
the City Council
MRS. MARY EVANS WANTS $4,000
FOR INJURY FROM FALL
ON SIDEWALK.

Two claims for damages were pre-.
sented to the city council last even
ing. Mrs Mary Evans, wife Of C. 5.
DOC" Evans, presented a claim for
$1,000 for personal injuries alleged
to have been sustained b a fall caus-
ed by an offset in the Main street
sidewalk and L. v Henderson pre-
sented a claim for 5000 for dam
ages to his automobile when it was
struck by the skidding auto truck
Mrs Evans sustained a broken
wrist on Nov. II in fall on Main
street in front of the store OF G. /.
La Dow 1t was caused, she alleges.
by the offset Of an inch or more in
the connection between the sidewalks
in front of the La Dow store and the
Belts block This is the same offset
that the council has ordered repair
ed several times and was caused by
a settling of the walk and pavement.
Mrs. Evans states in her commu-
nication to the council that she will
never fully recover its use. For the
injury. the expense It caused and the
past, present and future suffering,
Mrs. Evans thinks she is entitledsto
$4,000 and offers to compromise for
that amount The council referred
the matter to the city attorney and
claims committee without comment
The claim Of Mr. Henderson was
rejected at the suggestion OF the city
attorney. This claim was presented
ariginally about a year ago and was
turned down at the time City At
torney Carter holds that the city is
not liable for damages. Mr.. Hen
derson claims that, u, the sound OF
the fire bell. he stopped his car along
the curb as required By ordinance
and that the truck, in turning the
corner at Main and Webb after mis-.
reading the signal. caused the heavy
truck to skid and strike his ear.

Attorney
II will be assumed that readers Of
the following comments on the ore
gou prohibition law are intending to
obey the law The purpose will be,
therefore, to point out what can be
done lawfully and what, under the
law. would appear TO be prohibited.
No attempt win be made to discuss
procedure for the punishment Of
those who violate the law, or the
penalties fixed by the statute for the
various violations, Nearly every
branch of society, and every kind Of
business is affected directly or indi-
rectly by this statute, and it is i'm
portnnt that all people inform them
selves about the operation of the
law. and It will not be to the advaE-
tage of any citizen to violate the law
first and then learn its meaning
afterward. The first feature Of the
law that will be considered are the
privileges and duties OF the purchas-
er and customer.
intoxicating liquor Is defined in
Ghe act. 1t includes ordinary liquors
like beer, whiskey and wine, and in
cludes also all mixtures or prepara-
tions reasonably likely or intended
to be used as a beverage which shall
contain in excess of one-half of one
Per centum OF alcohol by volume. y
The definition also includes other
fipnu Whnf l.
er liquid or not, from which, or by
which Intoxicating liquor can be
produced This will cover beerine,
and other solid materials, which, by
mixing with water, will produce an
Intoxicating liquor. 1t also covers
hard elders and any fruit juice that
is permitted to ferment until It con-
tains in excess Of one-half Of one
per cent OF alcohol.
1t is generally Understood by this
time that the law provides that one
person. II he be single or one fam
II can lawfully purchase outside of
the state of oregon and receive at
any point within the state through
a common carrier, two quarts of spir-
ituous or vinous liquor, or twenty
four quarts Of malt liquor each rs
days. II Is believed by attorneys that
the purchaser must select, that is
ne must take the two quarts, or the
twenty-four quarts, He cannot law
fully accept both during any one pc
riod Of four successive weeks. II
