ANOTHER WAY TO DO IT

nT a six table bridge party
n recently, Mrs. E. H. Gary,
wife Of the steel trust
president, gave as prizes to her
guests six shares of Steel Trust
preferred stock valued at SlI7
per share.
The evident purpose of the
lady in question was to distrib-
ute among her social friends
some Of the steel trusts
abounding prosperity as re-
tlected in the advanced stock
quotations.
There are still further ways
in which the steel trust could
lind relief if its treasury is
ever congested. One sane
method would be to increase
the pay and shorten the hours
of its workmen. According to
the report of the Stanley com
mittee made to congress the
stebl trust laborers are a hard
worked lot and their wives
when they go out have no
trouble deciding which of their
many gowns to wear.

remark that ordinances already in
force give the police authority to stop
tndecency and immortality in whatever
form it shows its head Councilman
Penland however, held that rag
ging' and suggestive dancing should
be specifically prohibited in Pendle-
ton as in other towns and the mayor
likewise contended that the officers
should have a dance-regulating ordi-
nance for their guidance The ma
jority OF the council seemed willing
to grant this much nut individual
members intlmated that some chang
es must be made in the ordinance be-
fore 1t could pass.
Mayor Best requested that the or
dinance committee confer with him
at once in order to get the ordinance
into acceptable form.
In referring the prohibition and
dance ordinance back to the ordi-
nance committee, Mayor Best sharply
admonished the members against ex-
hibiting the ordinances to private
citizens, "If YOU cant keep the ordi-
nances within the committee, Wen
discuss them right in the city hall
and forbid the copies from being ta-
ken from the recorders office. We
We're elected to run this city and the
committee has no business taking the
ordinances from one business house
To another to get opinions"
Councilman Murphy called the
mayors attention to the fact that all
ordinances are public documents and
that any citizen has a right TO see
them, Not outside the city hall" re-
tOrted the mayor. and, besides an
ordinance is not an ordinance untn
it is passed. The committee has no
right to exhibit the copy on the
streets" Councilman Murphy refus-
ed to agree with him and appeal was
taken to the city recorder who gave
1t as his opinion that the committees
had the right to take public docu-
ments out of the office and were re-
sponsible for them while in their
possession,
At any rate, the mayor reiterated
that he didn't want his committees to
be holding their conferences with
business houses and the presump-
tion was that he had reason to be-
lieve that business men and other
private citizens had been discussing
with the councilmen the provisions OF
the prohibition and dance ordinances

the party is in the hands of a receiv-

the assets on the best terms that can
be obtained from the republican or

1t is plain that there is no inten-
ton of nominating another bull
moose ticket in 1916. The progress
sive leaders are far more eager to
get back into the republican party
than the republican leaders are to
have them back.

Brother Perkins knows it. It will be
the colonel if the colonel can get it,
but he cannot bluff it out of them.
There are conceivable circumstances
in which they might give it to him,
but it will be on their terms, There
is no sentiment one way or the other
1t is a matter of cold-blooded busi-
ness. 4

1T IS COSTING THEM

n HERE was a report yes
" terday that Turkey is
anxious for peace be-
cause of being in Strengthened
financial circumstances. On
that score there is not a nation
involved that should not be
anxious to end the struggle.
The cost of the war is proving
something colossal.
The expert. economists fig
Iuring upon it over there put
the daily expense at S70,000,-
600. Neumarch, the French
authority, calls it S73,000,000
daily,
This includes only the i'm
mediate outgo. France is now
eXpending S5O0,000,O0O a
month, Great Britain $780,
100000, Russia S4OO,OOO.0OO.
The cost to Germany is S1S,-
100000 daily, and this does
not take in the advances made
to Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey.
Back of this are the war
loans to which the fighting
nations have obligated them
selves, AS totaled up to the
end of October last, these were
more than S24,400,OOO,OOO.
The allies raised S14,60O.OOO,-
600 and the Austro-G Germans
50, ,S2l, 100000. The amount
raised in the United States was
62,O0O,OOO.
But even the above does not
tell the whole story. 1t does
not take account of the de-
struction of the ordinary earn !
ing power of a people. The
warning nations are not merely
spending money at fierce
pace but they are not making
money. 1t is all going out and .
nothing coming in, considered
from a national standpoint. !
How long can the warning
nations keep going without
facing financial exhaustion?

the wheatgrowers of Umatilla
county this year-they quite
naturally desires all informa-
tion possible as to the condi-
tons of the market.
For many months past the
East Oregonian has given its
readers something that no 9TH
er western newspaper has at
tempted in behalf of its pat
rons. We have published each
day the Liverpool quotations
and have reduced the top Liv-
erpool price to American
terms. In this way our people
have been kept informed as to
the state of the Liverpool mar
ket and the service has been
valuable because it is well
known our export market is
based on the Liverpool market,
though of course it is necessary
to remember that consideration
must be given to high ocean
charters, insurance, exchange
and handling charges.
Many farmers have compli-
mented this paper upon the
publication of the Liverpool
prices and there are reasons
for believing they have profit
ed by the service. If so the
East Oregonian is indeed glad
and feels its enterprise has
been well rewarded.

THE TARIFF COMMISSION

now is the presidents request
Tor the creation of a tariff

commission Mr.. Wilson is 60

several years ago. In explain
ing his change of front upon
the subject he said:

all the circumstances of the world
have changed, and it seems TO me
