AFTER IT IS DECIDED, WHAT ?

There is much interest being taken in the Adamson
law test case before the United States supreme
court and there seems to be an idea that when that
august body has passed upon the matter that there will
be great light thrown it, the subject OF the eight hour
day and the right of congress to fix wages public
utility There may be reason for this faith in the effete
East but here in Oregon not much is expected OF the
decision other than that the matter Will be St 1ulther
befuddled when the supreme court gets all its legal
yerbage fastened upon it, Oregon has reason to doubt
any clearing of the situation by the supreme court for it
has had experience in that line When the Oregon
California land grant went before the supreme
court naturally the citizens of this coast many OF whom
were directly interested having locations that were or
were not valid and which they had been unable to learn
were profoundly interested. The dragged along
wearly until finally the wires brought the glad hdngs
that the supreme court had decided it. Everybody read
with avidy the courts decision, and then that same
everybody of accord asked What does 1t mean!
Everybody asked, but nobody answered.
In substance the court held the grant was gift in
praesent and the title passed from the passage of the
granting act 1t held the Southern Pacific was the gran
tee of the Oregon California railroad and such took
over all its rights in said lands 1t held that the company
had title in fee simple with string or condition on it.
1t held that under the granting act the company must
sell the lands tracts of not to exceed 60 acres to one
person and at price not above $3.50 per 1t held
that as no time was fixed in which the company must sell
said lands that it left to the company to sell the
lands when got good and ready and that it need not
sell them at all.
1t left every fact in the controversy worse muddled
than it found it, and the settler woudbe settler as
far at sea 1t left the question so far undecided
that the company claims under the decision the right to
sell and remove the timber from the lands before offer
ing them for sae and denying congress the right
to take back the lands at $3.50 per acre until the company
has removed the timber.
If the court can manage to befog the Adamson eight
hour bill one half as badly it has the land grant bill
the tangle will not be Strengthened out in the next fifty
years The East may look forward with some degree OF
confidence to solution of the Adamson law tange but
out this way feel differently about it, We have rea-
son to feel so.

While congress discusses the proposed food embargo it
should not overlook the fact that when crops good
prices are low The fact that crops short and
ditions made unusual demand them is responsible
for large part at least of present high prices If
ures are to be taken to maintain prices at level
it, congress to be fair will bave the job its hands of
keeping prices up to normal when crops abundant.

putting its foot into that trap if it is possessed of
a modicum of wisdom.

Il have learned from several quar-

My intention was TO suggest the very
direct and necessary interest which this
country. AS one OF the neutral nations.

belligerents may have in mind and /

eminent was considering any change in

European NeutraIs Handicapped.
II is pointed out that the European
ueutrals have suffered beyond any
other nations not actually involved IN
the war and that peace is more essen
tial TO them than TO any but the actual
beIligerents. In addition they have
none of the bitterness Of war and none
Of its ambitions and are anxious more
for the coming peace than for the ac-
cOmplishmeut Of any other purpose
Nevertheless. their geographical posi-
tiOn between the two cOntending forces
has been SO dangerous that up 10 now
they have been able TO do no more
than maintain their neutrality without
mixing in the struggle even to sug-
costing peace. 4 part Of this danger
is thought removed by the American
action. however
Gradual Qualification among the en-

would advise their governments 20 re-

Of deep qualification today. as II was
pointed out both the note itself and in

one Of the dangers was that the allies
would consider the step as pro-Ger-
