 There is. nothing radical about this Parcel Post business. It is not only pushed out of existence, but the very hope of the Republic depends on ma king the farmer prosperous. The system has been fairly worked out in Germany. We may dread Germans s autocracy. but Germany has forever freed her people from the food juggler. We don't wont Germanys autocracy, but what we must have is Germany's s democratic system of economies and we must have it if our democracy is to endure. Germany is powerful be- cause she has solved the problem of direct distribution of her farm pro- ducts and that has enabled her to withstand this war crisis. The far mers are satisfied with their profits, anl so they form the great conservative party, contented with the government, whereas here in America where ev- erybody IS preaching back to the farm,' the profits of the farmer have not increased with the prosperity of the country.
 When this administration removed the possibility of panics by the Federal Reserve Act and through that act and the Rural Credits Act, made it pos sible for the farmer to organize his business along business lines. a great deal was done for him. These mea- sures have not gone far enough. Pres ident Wilson sees this. Congress has not yet caught up with him. The prosperity of the American farmer Is

CHARTER AMENDMENTS

The charter amendments which
are to come up for the approval or
disapproval of the people of Ash
land at the sepcial election Friday,
November oath, should receive the
careful attention of every voter.
The reassessment amendment Is
the less important of the two. Its
necessity is recognized by the city Of
ficials and their statement that
while no immediate cause exists, the
amendment may save the city many
dollars spent for legal red tape
should flaw in an assessment be
found should alone convince the
voter.
The park system control amend
ment will undoubtedly call for OBJ
jections of many kinds. In all fair
ness every voter who finds things
he does not understand or fears may
be wrong about the amendment
should take the time to talk it over
with City Attorney Moore, one Of
the councilmen, the mayor, or one
of the twelve trustees of the Com
mercial Club all of whom have a
clear understanding of the amend
ment and causes which gave rise to
its existence.

Mr.. Briscoe's appeal was for r
closer cooperation between the citi-
zens of Ashland and the school, CO.
operation which could be evidenced
in four ways: First, by helping to
keep the boys and girls in school by
calling up the high school when odd
lob help is needed; second, by giving
young men and women from the
surrounding districts who are unable
to pay their board an opportunity to
earn their board and room and at
tend high school; third, by giving
the graduates help when they need
a friend most, during their first year
of bucking up against the matter-of-
fact world, and fourth, by visiting
the school, offering suggestions and
helping to make the school work
more effective in preparing the stu
dent for the problems he will meet
out in the world.
Ashland has one of the best high
schools in the state. Educators of
national fame have told us so. But
outside of the knowledge that the
standard of learning at our institu-
tion ranks with the best, the fact
that Ashland high IS turning out stu
dents who, during the past vacation,
earned an aggregate of $4,000 and
for many of whom good positions
await upon their graduation with the
fact that they come from this school
as their best recommendation, is
even more gratifying.

speculation; will insure safe loans;
will provide for amortization by
which interest and principal may be
met in lesser installments than is
now required to pay the interest
alone on the average farm loan. The
law itself guards against expensive
administration which minimum ex-
pense, in the ultimate, the borrowers
will bear.
One of the chief advantages Of the
Oregon law, as distinguished from
the federal rural credits, is that of
direct action. 1t will not be neces-
sary under the Oregon law to for
mulate group interests, or in other
words, to organize loan associations
before the individual who can use
money for farm development or for
the purchase of land can get it. The
individual citizen can deal directly
and promptly with the state land
board, that is empowered with spe-
cial commissioned duties for the ad-
ministration of the law itself. The
Oregon law is a short cut, direct
action statute that puts the states
credit at work for widespread state
