ADOPT UNIFORM GRAIN
STANDARDS IN THE WEST
Public Service Commissioners of Ore
gon and Washington Undertake an
Important Work

/ PORTLAND - To adopt uniform
grain and hay standards for Washing
ton and Oregon, the public service
commissions of the two states are
meeting here today at the first of a
series of three hearings. Grain men
millers and dealers are attending the
conference which is considered one OF
the most important in years to the
trade. Many farmers are also gather
ed at the session.
Grain bureaus in Washington and
Oregon will operate under similar
laws, and the two commissions have
agreed to issue exactly the same rules
and regulations and charge the same
fees.
by Washington and Oregon adopt
ing the same standards and the same
rules said Commissioner Miller,
chairman of the Oregon commission
day; sit will mean that the standards
will be uniform over the entire north
west. Idaho and Montana have no
grain bureaus, and the bulk of the
grain from those states will move
through Portland, Seattle or Tacoma
and hence will come under the same
Standardization.
After hearing the testimony of
prominent farmers, millers and grain
men of this part of Oregon. the com
missions will go to Tacoma tomorrow
for a second hearing; Spokane, We'd
nesday and Pendleton, Thursday.

WASHINGTON - The natives al
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey now residing in the Uni
ted States aggregate approximately
1862, 1000 or about AZ per cent of the
total population of the country.
The foregoing total is announced
by Director Sam L. Rogers of the bur-
eau of the census, department of COM
MERGE, as the result of a calculation
based on the census figures of 1910,
the reports of the bureau of immigra-
ton for the period between 1910 and
the present time and the estimated
mortality during that period. Although
it is not possible by this method to
determine with absolute exactness the
number of natives of the countries
named now living in the United States,
it is believed that the results obtain
cd represent reasonably close ap-
Proclamation to the facts.
These 4,66200O foreigners are dis
tributed, according to country of birth,

One Of the strongest and most
convincing evidences of the wonder

large number Of letters that are be-

THE .JEFFERSONIAN
ANOTHER LAYNEAN PREA CHEs AT
THE PREACHERS!


your articles in last weeks Jeffer-
sonian, bearing on the subject Of
the increased activities Of our Pro-
testant Clergymen. There can be
little doubt that some of our Pro-
testant Clergymen are willing for
the Church Boards to undertake to
look after the property of the mem
bers. and think it the proper thing
for all members to give their property
to these Church Boards. There is
also a willingness on the part OF
some of the clergyInen to inform
the members of the church how they
should vote in the various political
contests 1t has already been the
rule for the Clergymen to look after
our spiritual welfare and to do our
theological thinking for us. 1t will
be a considerable addition to their
burdens to administer all Of our
property rights for us and do all OF
our business and political thinking,
at the same time relieving the lay
men of all mental strain, leaving him
nothing to do but to work while his
preachers do all his thinking for
him
Should this plan fully materialize,
it follows as a logical conclusion,
that there is no need of spending the
large sums that are now being spent
on public schools and colleges for
the education of all the people. Ii
a small body of the people, composed
of the clergymen and members or
their boards are to do all of the reiI-
gious, political and business thinking
for the public, then the sums spent
on these schools should logically be
reduced to such sums as are neCes~
sary to properly educate and equip
the class of people who have all the
thinking to do, and the money now
being spent to educate the whole
public, should be diverted to some
more useful purpose.
From a historical standpoint, there
is nothing new about this tendency
of our modern Protestant churches.
This system prevailed generally
throughout the whole Of the dark
ages. when the Catholic church was
in it's ascendency. The clergy did
all of the thinking and had mo
nopoly of the education. The com
mon layman did all the work. General
public education has been one Of the
improvements resulting from the
overthrow of the Catholic hierarchy.
If the more powerful Protestant
churches shall have the inclination
and the power to adopt the practice
of having all the thinkink done by
the clergymen and all the work by
the laymen, they will have adopted
and put into practice the principles
which have caused the ogensiveness
of the Catholic hierarchy.

U.S. EXTENDS PLANS
FOR GUARDING CANAL
Military Roads and Forts to Make
Isthmus Inyulnerable.

Fears for the safety Of the Panama
Canal are declared to be groundless
by officials In close touch with ths
situation. These officials point to the
fact that Venezuela, the only South
American country having islands suit
able for submarine bases. is in no
position to oppose the United States
In any way. and, further. cannot af-
ford to antagoniEe her neighbors. who
are friendly TO the cause Of the al
lies. Also. the United States recently
has undertaken the work of building
military roads in the republic Of Pan
anna which are expected to make the
canal almost invulnerable.
The military roads are to be laid
out in strategical positions, where
they will afford protection. not only
to the Canal Zone Itself, but to the
republic of Panama Engineers
already are on the ground laying out
the road plans and selecting sites for
fortiications.
The republic Of Panama, working
independently OF the United States
already has made plans, and in SOM
places has started building a chain OF
fortihcations along the Atlantic Goa ST
which will offer formidable resista nee
TO any attacks from the sea. Similar
fortifca tions, erected at stratee' {
points along the borders. make at
tack by land almost impossible.
As TO the reported sale OF islan
to German agents by the Venezuelan
government, diplomats versed in
South and Central American affairs
dismiss the rumors as of no conse-
quence.

ARMY MAY REDUCE
PHYSICAL STANDARDS
Height and Weight Requirement.
Too Exacting, Is Belief.

Bantanns may soon be accepted into
the American army.
The idea that, In these times OF
scientific fighting. little men are Just
as effective as big men. has caused
the committee on anthropology of the
National Research Council to make
exhaustive studies of the question
The council has Just forwarded "a
the general medical board recem-
mendations which will be placed be-
fore the War and Navy Departments
These recommendations are to the
effect that the United States would
be fully justified in changing its re.
cruiting requirements by reducing the
minimum height from feet { inches
to feet inch, and cerrespondingly
the minimum weight from l2s pounds
to 12o pounds.
The committee points out that
many European natienalities. most ei
which are well represented in this
country, have an average height oi
two. three or four inches shorter thar
that of Americans, the smaller
statures signifying normal variation
| according to racial difference rather
than degeneration.
The average heights of various
races are as follows:
Scotch, s feet s3-4 inches; Irish
feet 9 inches; Americans, Z feet
inches: English, feet 7s-4 inches
swedes. s feet 1875 inches; Danes,
feet 9 l-5 inches; Belsians. s feet si-'
; inches; Germans, s feet lis inches
Russians, s feet s 2-5 inches; French
feet 5 inches; Italians, feet al
inches: Chinese, 5 feet 4l-5 inches
japanese, s feet Ala inches.
The Russo-Japanese war showed
conclusively to every military expert
that the small man may be made into
magnificenuy capable soldier. The
average Jap appears physically in
significant alongside the burly Rus
sian. but his fighting qualities arr
