THE DIVORCE INCREASE.

Is it possible that the rapid in.
crease of divorces in Multnomah coun-
ty is in some measure due to the fact
that there is an increase in the num-
Der of marriages solemnized in judic-
ial chambers, creating a desire to end
married life where it beganq
Statistics show that since January
!. 1916, the judges of circuit. county,
district and municipal courts have
performed fraction more than 16
per cent of the ceremonies in Multno-
nah county. OF 1400 weddings, 800
were solemnized by judicial officers.
County Judge Cleeton leads in mar
riages. The records show as follows:
Judge Cleeton, rs; Circuit Judges Ga
tens, 54; Gantenbein, Is; McGinn, II !;
Morrow, 8; Davis, 6, and Kavanaugh.
3; District Judges-Bell, 80: Jones,
~; Dayton, 10; Municipal Judge Ste
venson, l; Municipal Judge Lang
guth, 2.-Oregonian.
There is a possibility that hurry
up marriages, such as judges are call
ed upon to perform may make the
unions repented of in leisure. Too
little of the seriousness and sacred
ness of matrimony is included in the
legal ceremony. Marriage should be
more than civil contract.

churches in regard to the publication

ion of the marriage service has a

eight hours shall be deemed the stan
dard or measure of days work "tor
the purpose of reckoning the compen-
sation for services of all employees
engaged in train operation Eight
hours is not the Measure for work but
the measure forgpay. In many IN
dustries one hour is the measure Tor
paw One might as well say that IN
those industries the one-hour day Is
established as to say that in tram OPP
Grafton the eight-hour day is estab-
lished.
1t is recalled that in their first de-
mands the railway brotherhoods asked
for two things-for the eight-houl
day (secured through a penalty for
work for longer period), and for an
increase of twenty-five per cent In
hourly wages. When they came to
Washington they abandoned the eight
hour demand when they were offered
the satisfaction Of their other de-
mand. Between an eight-hour day
and wage increase, not being able
to get both, they chose the wage in
crease.
This is the real nature Of the law
which was forced on the country by a
Democratic president and Demo-
cratic congress and if they wish to
claim any credit for their perform
ance they at least should be honest
enough to avoid false pretenses. The
eight-hour issue was not settled-not
even approached-by the law which
has been enacted. This issue is bound
to again appear, and workers who
consider this question vital to their
interests should remember that Mr.
Hughes, both by his record and his ex-
plicit assurances, has shown himself
to be even a better friend Of labor
than is President Wilson. For while
the latter is largely governed by ques-
tions of eXpediency, causing him to
change his mind and wobble from one
position to another, Mr.. Hughes is
an open advocate of arbitration. which
is the only fair, just and satisfactory
way to settle disputes between EN-
ployes and their employers, and to
safeguard the interests of both sides
in such contentious.

Charles Evans Hughes for president.
We said that we were beginning to
have considerable respect for Coloncl
Harvey. 1t was not because he print
ed such crushing broadside against
Wilson, although that is sufficient to
win respect from many people. The
colonel does little business on the
side as a political forecaSter, and it
was his work in that direction that
first directed our attention to til
man. Here are few of his prognos-
testions:
in 1904, he predicted that Roose
Welt would receive 314 electoral votes.
Roosevelt received 1856.
In 1908 his forecast was that Taft
would get 1873 votes in the electoral
college. Taft received 321.
Tn March, 1911, a year before the
caucuses were held and eighteen
months before the election, Colonel
Harvey in The North American Re-
view predicted that Woodrow Wilson
would be the Democratic nominee for
president and W. Fl. Taft the nominee
of the Republicans. 1t came out so.
Colonel Harvey in October. 1912
torecasted the result of the election
in November by saying that Taft
would carry only Utah and Vermont.
Further he marked thirty-seven of the
states to show how they would vote
and eleven he classified as doubtful.
When the returns were in they show
ed that thirty-six of the states voted
as he said they would and he had
made a mistake in only one.
That shows that the colonel knows
something about political conditions.
1t also shows that when he fore
casts the election of Charles Evans
Hughes in November he knows what
he is talking about.

THE SINGLE TAX BILL.

in the minds of some voters regard
ing the Full Rental Value Land Tia,
d Homemakers Loan Fund Amend
ment. 1t is a most complicated meas
ure. After reading it through one

is all about.
There need be no confusion about
this measure. 1t is single tax meas
ure, pure and simple, although a loan
feature has been added. The doctrine
of single tax is just this: that all in
come from land, exclusive of improve
ments, belongs to the state "The

does this very thing. 1t calls the in
come from land Gland rent" and un-
der the amendment all this land rent
must be paid each year to the state in
the shape of taxes. Do you get the
idea? 1t is just single tax under an
other name. Under single tax all in
come from land is taken by the state.
In this proposed measure income from
land is called Gland rent" and all of
it is taken by the state.
No well-informed person supposes
for a moment that this full rental
value land tax amendment will be ap-
proved by the voters. Its chief pur-
pose is to take the land of Oregon
away from those who own it now and
give 1t to Others, and the people of

AS A POLITICAL FORECASTER

We are beginning to have consider.
able respect for Col. George Harvey
For the past eight or ten years he has
posed as a sort of political accouch.
eur and he flaunted his occupation in
the face of the rest of his editorial
brethren so frequently and with such
evident pride that it made many of
us weary. When the unfortunate
Woodrow Wilson was professor at
Princeton. Colonel Harvey professed
to see that the body polite was in an
interesting condition, and as the un-
fortunate Mr. Wilson progressed to
the presidency of his college, then to
the governorship of his state and f.
nally to the presidency of the United
States, Colonel George stood by with
a broad smile on his face shouting.
"Didn t [ tell you so?"
But when Professor Wilson, lust
before the national convention Of
1912, openly requested the colonel to
stop ''rooting" for him, because the
colonel's support just at that time
might injure him in the west, the col
onel remembered the fate of Franken-
stein and kept on shouting for Will
son. After the election, however, the |
colonel, like an honest man, exercised |
his right of Judgment and began to
Judge President Wilson by his acts.
When Wilson did what the colonel
thought was right, the colonel freely |
gave his approval, but when the pres
ident quibbled and went dead wrong,
Colonel Harvey was not slow in say
ing so. The president had no better
friend than Colonel Harvey and the
colonel's friendship is shown in the
criticisms of the president S course
from the beginning down to the pres
ent time.
For in the current number of The
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey publishes as the leading article
little campaign document of thirty
four pages entitled, "For President,
Charles Evans Hughes" which goes
over the whole record Of Woodrow
Wilson from his inauguration to the
present time and shows beyond any
contention that Mr. Wilson is the
greatest failure we ever had in the
presidential chair He discusses our
relations with Mexico. the trouble
with Germany. the failure of Josephus
Daniels and the navy department. the ,
lack of preparedness. the reform in
the tariff, the new banking law, the {
of Clarke and Brandeis {
to the supreme bench and the shame {
full surrender TO the railway men in |
the Adamson bill. 1t is really the !
finest review of current political his :
tory yet made and it fully justifies v
tie colonel's conclusion which ought $
20 be painted on the bright blue SKY
in letters ten feet high:
"Upon the clearly marked issue
ahd as between the candidates, ther'
is no reason why any professed Re e
publican, any thoughtful Progressive n
n any principaled Democrat should r
rot, and every reason why every pat 9
riotic American should vote for il
