Need Of Constructive LenisIatIon.


Just before the European war broke
out we had million skilled mechan-
les out of work and nearly half a mil.
lion railroad men were idle, together
with nearly half million freight cars
The railroads were suffering from
lack of freight to carry to market, and
industry was gradually becoming
stagnant. In Louisiana two hundred
thousand acres of sugar land were
plowcd up because Of Democratic
changes in the tariff law. 1t is gen
orally conceded by all save the blind
that the country was not progressing.
Attempts were made to keep courage
up by the predictions made by Secre-
tartes McAdoo and Redfield and Presi-
dent Wilson of the great trade booms
which were soon to appear but which
failed to materialize until the outbreak
Of war on the continent.

when we contemplate industrial
and commercial conditions" says Mr.
Hughes, 1--WE see that we are liyins
in FOOLS paradise" This Is the con.
dition to which the administration and
Its supporters have deliberately closed
their eyes. When the war cloud broke
over Europe, this country was expert
encing the most serious depression II
had known since 1893, when the Demo
cratic party and its policies were in
full control Of the United States.
Suddenly there came from over the
sea demand for munitions of war,
clothing, food, supplies everything
needed by vast armies and by coun-
tries whose sons were taken from the
field and the workshop, never to re-
turn.
AS a result our exports and the bal.
ance Of trade in our favor have reach
ed figures far SURPRISING any ever be-
fore known. Temporarily, especially in
the East, there Is no lack Of work at
high wages, for Europe must pay
whatever price America asks. No
thoughtful person would Imagine that
this condition Is anything like real
prosperity. How false II Is. we in
Oregon, who have the clearer vision,
because not clouded by the smoke
from munitions factories, have fully
felt and fully appreciated.
What the Republican candidate for
president says about it the Democrats
know to be true:
Our opponents promised to reduce
the cost of living. This they have
failed to do. but did reduce the opI,nr-
tunitles of making living. Let us
not forget the conditions that existed
In this country under the new tariff
prior to the war. Production had de.
creased; business was languishiDg,
new enterprises were not undertaken;
instead Of expansion there was cur
tsilment and our streets were filed
with the unemployed"
The suspension OF these conditions
Is not nationwide. only sectional and
depends upon the duration of the war.

Just as 1t is now obstinately shut
ting its eyes to the need Of indus
trial preparedness, for three years the
Wilson administration refused to see
the need Of adequate military pre-
paredness. With war on our southern
border it was content to rely on a
regular army that could only muster
10000 available men and refused to
continue the established policy of
building up our navy. When the time
cnme for action, the country had not
sufficient troops to police the border
and this force has been supplemented
by a trit1e more than one third the
war strength Of the national guard II

the ability to interpret the signs OF

have been well under way instead Of
barely begun.

OPEN AIR SCHOOL

1t is likely that the first open air
school to be established as a direct
result of the anti-tuberculosis cam
paign that the state board of health
is conducting will be opened in Port
Huron. DR.. Wilson who in addition to
being physician and a public health
enthusiast, is a member of the school
board, is authority Tor the statement
that Port Huron will have an open air
school in the near future.
1t was found when the health sur
vey was held in st. Clair county dur
the latter part Of December, that there
were in the public schools of Port
Huron nineteen positive" cases of
tuberculosis and thirteen suspicious"
making a total of thirty-two pupils
who should not be confined in the
ordinary school room Since this is
about the average number of pupils
usually placed in single room, steps
will be taken TO accommodate them
with a room specially designed TO meet
their health needs.
As yet Michigan has very few open
air schools Although this method
of conserving the health of the more
delicate pupils has proven itself more
than worth while where it has been
tried, it is only in the larger cities that
it has been used to any extend The
smaller cities are still following the
lines of least resistance and are educa-
ting all the children in the same way,
without regard to the needs of their
bodies, simply because this method
has always been followed and there
fore somehow seems the only right
method.
But Port Huron is setting the ex-
ample for the smaller cities of the
state in this respect. DR.. Wilson and
Superintendent w. F. Lewis, who are
both interested in applying the newest
and best health principles to the local
schools, declare they see no reason
why the most modern methods are
not just as desirable in the smaller
cities a. in Detroit, Grand Rapids and
other cites of that kind

FORDMEYsOUTL|MES
REPUBLICAN PLAN

Rep. Joseph w. Fordney, of Michi-
gan, will make a speech in the next
few days, setting form the Republic
can program for industrial prepared
ness. Mr.. Fordney will demand re-
turn to tariff, distinctly protective;
the enactment o. an anti-dumping
law to still further protect American
industries from foreign competition;
and a tariff commissions.
81 regard the anti-dumping clause
as the most important provision of the
three" said Mr. Fordney. "The United
States must begin preparing now for
the industrial condition which is al
most certain to follow the war.
Before the war Germany furnished
90 per cent. of all the goods imported
into Russia; she furnished 20 per cent.
Of British imports and about the same
percentage of goods sent TO France.
If Germany losses in this war or if
the result is a draw, Germany will
be Disseminated against by the allied
nations. But her industries have not
been and probably will not be to any
extent destroyed.
Must Find Outlet
"She must find an outlet for her
goods and TO where? German trade
in South America is already highly de-
veloped. The same is true of Asia.
She cannot add greatly to her exports
to these places. There is just one
place she can go and that is the
United States. When this war ends
she will land on our industries like
a hawk on a chicken.
Germany has never taken great
account of cost of production in fix
ing prices of competitive goods. For
instance, the price of steel and iron
in Germany, before the war, was $50
per ton, whereas she sold iron ex-
ported to other countries all the way
from SIS to $27 per ton, dependent on
the condition from competition which
she encountered. The price in the
United States was never above S2S
per ton, although our cost of labor in
steel manufacture is twice that of
Germany and labor represents so per
cent of the total cost of production Of
steel.
The German idea has been to build
up trade and overcome competition.
She has not hesitated to sell below
cost to kill competition, and she win
not hesitate to do so when this war
is over. The only way to stop this
is an auti-dumping law, under which
a special duty can be assessed where it
is proven that county is selling
goods in the United States at less
price than the same goods are sold
Tor at home. Tariff board is the best
means of securing this information"
