BANKERS FAVOR RURAL CREDIT

Group six OF the Oregon Bankers
association met In Baker City this
week.
The old officers we're rejected.
Discussion during the session was
taken up chiefly with the subject OF
rural credits and farm loans as the
basis for such a system. Although
no definite action was taken. II was
the eonoensus OF opinion that ma
tional rural credits system would be
vastly preferable TO one under state
direction.

HOG PACKERS PLAYING HOG"
~an1- -rr-uH@-1H-@

The offer of the stockyards bunch
to throw their books open to the gov
eminent rather than be investigated
was objected to by the cattle raisers
before the judiciary committee of
the house of representatives yester-
Cay.
The real state of affairs in the meat
market must be thrown open to the
public and press was the demand of
the producers. A body appointed by
congress with authority to bring in
the packers and their books was
asked.
How some of the immense for
tunes of the Armours, Tildens,
SWifts, Morrises, Meekers, SuIz-
bergers and Cudahys have been
squeezed out of the meat business
may be shown by an investigation
such as was asked by the producers
yesterday.
Atty Walter Fisher, none other
than the public utility expert of
Chicago, who has done some good
jobs for big biz in the automatic
phone and traction deals, this time is
leading the fight against the stock
yards. He is hired by the American
National Live Stock assn.
Before the judiciary committee he
objected to the offers of the packers
that they furnish information asked
by the department of agriculture. He
said that voluntary information
would not do the work; he wants the
packers placed under oath, with
Jail sentence to follow falsehood.
The quiz yesterday showed that al
though the price of meat has risen |
steadily since the start Of the war
across the Atlantic, the producers of |
the cattle are getting less for the |
animals on the hOOf.

HERALD FOR $4,000
The Herald ran a cock-sure story
on Feb. 13 about Mrs. Catherine
Flanagan, wife of a saIoOnkeeper at
4773 Archer av. In this story Mrs.
Flanagan was said to be a great pO-
ker player, but she sometimes lost.
The Herald said that on one occa-
sion when she was playing in the
neighbOrhOOd the game went against
her and she lost. Then, according
to this paper, she paid her debts in
postage stamps.
The Herald went on to tell how the
story about her paying her debts
with postage stamps ran about the
neighborhood and finally reached the
ears of a federal sleuth.
The story said that as a result of
the rumOr, Mrs. Flanagan was ar
rested and eight others were taken
into custody for the robbing of a Ca
madam bank and pOstofice.
Now because she says the poker
and stamp story was a fake pure and
simple, Mrs. Flanagan sued the Her
aid for $685.
She also says that she had nothing
to do with any robbery and that the
Herald should be more careful in its
statements about respectable people.
Her attorney, Joseph B. David, ex-
poets to collect for her a considerable
part of the $4,000 he fled suit for
under her name. He says the law is
clear on such cases.
David is the attorney who got a
$500 judgment from the Chicago
Examiner because that paper called
John O'Malley, North Side saloon
keeper, bad names that they couldn't
back up. O'Na1ey received his check
in December.

st. Louis control the market because
they own all the yards, slaughter
houses, refrigerator cars, packing
houses and switching railways. The
latest stunt of the meat baTOns is to
send their men around the country
buying cattle from the farmers and
raisers, he said.

SPLENDID ENDORSEMENT

According to the official figures,
Lieutenant Governor E. F. Dithmar
received the highest vote in Sank
county of any of the state officers.
This is a splendid endorsement. Can
didates naturally look to the people
they know to assist them and may
well feel pleased when the highest
vote is accorded them. Mr. Dithmar
welded the gavel we'll in the state
senate and will have the pleasure Of
doing so again.
Of the county officers, District At
torney J. H. Hill was accorded the
highest honor when the vote was
counted. Evidently Mr.. Hill has
pleased the voters by the administra-
ton of his Office, and will serve anoth-
er year. The vote for Mr.. Hill was
the highest of any on the entire ticket.

DIGESTION WORTH HAVING

Good digestion is not appreciated I'M.
til you lose it. Then you cannot afford
TO experiment on remedies. Strong
medicines are hard on weak stomachs.
To be able to eat what you want and
to digest it is priceless blessing. If
you have lost it do not be deceived by
the claims of predigested foods and
stomach tonics, so-called.
There is no tonic for the stomach
that is not tonic for every other part
of the body. As the blood goes every-
where, an Improvement its condition
quickly results in strengthening weak
organs. Rich, red blood is absolutely
necessary to digestion. If your stomach

REFORM

Much is said these days about pris-
on reform. The place to reform is
not only inside the walls, but outside.
After a man has served his time, after
he has balanced the books, after he
has paid the debt exacted by the
courts, then comes the difficulty. Gen
orally the public is not inclined to take
kindly to the man from prison. No
doubt the individual should have aid
to start him on the right road, and the
public should be more or less reform
ed in order to give him the needed
assistance. For man without a pris-
on record the fight upward is hard
enough, and with a handicap the hill
is all the more difficult. The country
needs men like Osborne to reform men
on the inside, and the world needs
other men to reform the public mind
that the ex-convicts may be aided
Not only in the prison, but outside it's
walls should there be reform.

EXPLANATIONS FROM CALL
FORNIA

Strange as it may seem, President
Wilson is supposed to owe his re-elec-
ton to majority of the voters Of
California. 1t has been proclaimed
far and wide Of course, the truth is
merely that CALIFORNIA; popular vote
was delayed until something of a
deadlock appeared in the count, when
the electoral vote gave the president
the required number. Had the situa-
ton been reversed and Ohio's vote
had been counted last, Ohio would
have decided the election"
At the same time it is true that Cal
ifornia played a most conspicuous
part in the reelection Of President
Wilson. If there was one mistake
that, more than any other, cost Mr..
Hughes the Presidency, it was COM
mitted in California, where the Re-
publican candidate was scratched by
the voters who supported Hiram John
son. The whole matter is now being
fought out again, with considerable
heat. Progressives are declaring
