OREGON WEATHER
AFTER THE WAR, wHATg

&&N 46AA AAAl W<AAts NAA~AA
There are evidences to the neutral
observer that the war pressure in
Europe is reaching stage where the
belligerents will soon be courting
peace. Physical and financial exhaus-
tion must be spectres that arise be-
fore the governing powers Of each
warning nation, and some time there
will come a pay day And 1t will be
the rank and file Of the people who
viii pay the price. Higher taxes and
reduced wages win be the heritage
Of the worker. Writing to this paper
from London. correspondent Of the
United Press speaks of the after-the-
war problems, and says that Europe
will have to do one of two things
when hostilities have ceased:
l. Accept a far lower standard
OF living than heretofore, or
2. Cancel all war debts and start
afresh with clean slate.
II is impossible to calculate, for
instance, what England's war debt
alone will be, because nobody knows
how much longer the war will last
Certainly. however. the figure will
be so enormous as to stagger the
imagination. Even II the struggle
should end before 1917, the English
would have to pay annually. in in
terest, more than the total of their
governments yearly ante-bellum ex-
penses.
Taxation was high before the war;
How is the country going to stand
a burden more than twice as heavy?
Before the war the average Eng
lish skilled workman made from IS
to $11 weekly. The corresponding
workman in Germany made from $6
to 81. For man with family II
might seem as if these figures were
pretty near bed rock; that he couldn't
reduce his standard Of living without
starving to death. AS matter-of
fact, the workers in Spain, Portugal
Russia and Turkey we're not so well
off as the English and Germans; and
a coolies wages in China amount tc
about 70 cents, American money. fol
seven-day week.
SO, after all, there is good dea
Of room for European labor to bt
worse of after than 1t was before the
war. The creditor classes sugges
ton OF "a lower standard Of living
isn't by any means an impossibility
II the producing classes will submit
to it.
The correspondent continues tha
after the war England will newt
ably cease to be a free trade country
Reciprocity will prevail between th'
mother country and her colonies. L
may include all the present allies
The tariffs purpose will be partly
revenue. More particularly, 1t will
be for protection against Germany
The English policy is not, in general
for protection against neutrals, bu+
1t is hard to see how It can be avoid
ed in this case. as Germans might
otherwise establish their factories In
neutral countries, get their raw ma
terial from home and set the pro
lection program at nought.
Inasmuch as the tariff will have
to be imposed with labor's consent
and aid, there is no question tha'
labor's interests will have to be dul,
considered Indications are that thu
results form may be more or lest
socialistic.

plete governmental overturning is Q

SAFE FARMING.
Disadvantages of One-Crop System
Enumerated.

Seven objections to one-erop sys-
tenn of agriculture are set forth in
Circular No. SIS Of the Office of the
Secretary Of Agriculture, which is a
reprint Of an address delivered by DR..
Bradford Knapp at a conference Of
southern bankers. The reasons why
a one-crop system is unsafe are stated
BY DR. Knapp to be as follows:
first. Because the system depends
upon market and crop conditions of
the one crop alone. Failure of crop
or failure of market alike bring seri-
Gus disaster.
Second. Because it does not pro-
vide for the maintenance of soil fer
tility.
esThird. Because it fails to provide
for a sufficient livestock industry to
consume the waste products of the
farm and make its waste lands pro-
duetive.
Fourth. Because it does not pro-
vide for a system of farm manage
ment under which labor, teams, and
tools may be used to the fullest adj
vantage.
Fifth. Because it brings return in
cash but once a year instead of turn
ing the money over more than once
a year.
Sixth. Because it does not produce
the necessary foods to supply the peo-
pie upon the farm and keep them in
health and strength.
Seventh. 1t limits knowledge, mar
rows citizenship, and does not foster
home building, but does encourage
commercial farming"
Not only is this circular Of interest
to farmers, but it should be in the
hands Of every banker who is interest
ed in the improvement of agriculture.
