Unless the public is to be kep. on the ragged edge of poverty until they finally take matter into their own hands a halt must be called on the individuals as well as the organiza- tons which exist for no other purpose than to take profits out of the hand ling of food stuffs in their pass lge from the farm to the table.
 The present crisis in food matte.s ! has acquainted the public with too many of the details concerning mar ket rnantpulations and representation of food supplies for the purpose of boosting prices, to permit of their bearing the burden of increasing food cost indefinitely.
 And now that war conditions have given these parasites additional chance to bleed the public 1t is plain ly time for the government to step in and take over the whole matter of distributing and fixing the price of food commodities. In no other way can the food question be controlled and the public spared from system atic robbery.

PRESIDENTIAL PEP"

American history shows that when ever an American president was full of ginger our country kept out of a foreign war.
 When the French Minister Genet acme to Philadelphia to make trouble. President Washington sent him flying out of the United States.
 Two decades later, when it seemed as if Europe would swoop down on the South American states. Monroe's stiff upper lip, as evidenced by the Monroe doctrine, kept it away.
 Jackson was the most hot-headed man who ever occupied the White house. As soldier he hanged two Englishmen for putting into our In- dian affairs. but Jackson never had a foreign war. =-ss----.--
 Madison, on the contrary, was an extreme pacflcist, but our war with England in 1872 came under his ad- ministration. He always accused Henry Clay of forcing him into it.
 Oddly enough, Polk, who defeated Clay for president a generation later, was another pacIficist, but We had our war with Mexico during his term.

U S.. NOW SUGAR
 EXPORTING NATION

Americas sugar consumption ir 1916 was less than in any year since 1912, according to estimates by the department of commerce. Heavy ex- ports and lighter imports, coupled with a poor American crop, kept the per capita consumption down to 1918 pounds. against Sl05 the year befUi Q and S9.14 m 1914. The worlds pro- ducton declined last year more than 4.OOO,000,000 pounds.
 The United States in 1916 became for the first time one of the big sugar exporting nations, selling l. 6S6.000,000 pounds. Its own imports shrunk 466,O00,OOO pounds. Of the output the United States, despite the shortage. consumed a larger percen- tage than the year before. It took 31 per cent of the total, against 20 per cent in 1915.
 Tne worId's total sugar production last year was 37194,O0O.0O0 pounds against 5,OO0,OOO in 1915 and II ,972 ,000,0 ,000 in 1914. The United States consumed 7,6O,00O,0OO pounds

FOOD PRICE CONTROL.

The proposal of Senator Borah to invest the president with full author ity to control the price of food and other commodities through the federal trade commission is a step in the right direction and one that, in view of the tremendous rise in the cost of food commodities in the past ten years, should have been instituted long ago.
 It is all very we'll for the food barons to insist that the present high price of food products is due to the increased costs for labor, transporta- ton, etc, but a glance at the market reports discloses too wide a margin between the price paid to the produc- CT and that demanded of the consum- CT to convince one that there is not something wrong with such state. ments.
 It Is true that the general advance in wages has had something to do with the matter but, taking the high est average increase in the price of labor as basis for judgment it is still clear that the difference in the price paid to the farmer and that paid by the consumer is not to be ac- counted for by placing the blame on the shoulders of the laborer.
 Neither can the increase in trans portation rates wholly make up for the wide discrepancy between the original and the ultimate price.
 No matter from what angle one looks at the matter in seeking an explanation it is easily to be seen that some one is getting a huge rake off after the laborer has received his hire and the transportation company it's fee. And it is equally clear that the fellow that Is getting this rake off is not the one who deals directly with the household.
 The truth of the matter Is that there AS too iuuCH fniluiefndn mixed Into the game. and 1t Is in dealing with this gentry that the real problem of food control lies.
 There are more of these middlemen than Is necessary for the distribution of food supplies and may of them are nothing more than mere spectators serving absolutely no purpose in our economic life.
 The extent to which organization in business has been developed has made 1t possible for these middlemen to prey on the consumer as well as the producer to a degree that makes his presence a veritable menace to the welfare of the masses.
 By concert of action it Is very easy for them to compel the producer to accept the lowest possible price for his produce and at the same time extort from the consumer all that he is able to pay.

THE INAUGURATION DATE.

Congress at its coming session will
BE- asked to change the date OF the
inauguration OF the president from
March to the last Thursday OF
April. The argument for the change
is that OF the danger OF exposure OF
the president and other public men,
on date as carly as March A, when
the weatheS at Washington is so fire.
quently bad.
The whole schedule Of elections,
inaugurations and meeting OF con-
gress is out OF date and fitted to the
colonial age before the days OF rail-
roads. In those times when 1t took
so long for news to travel and public
men to get to the capital, 1t seemed
natural to have an inauguration four
months after election. But 1t is
long time now between the choice OF
new officials and their beginning
work. Moving the date ahead would
simply lengthon this undesirable eX-
tended period.
Our public men ought not to go
through with long and formal eX-
ercises under a cold March wind IN
Washington's climate There are two
ways to remedy that. One would be
10 hold these exercises indoors. This
IS perfectly simple. But it goes con-
trary to Washington's notion OF an
inauguration. that it is mo- so much
for giving a new administ' alton an
impressive sendoff, as to supply the
public holiday and big outdoor spec
tacle and draw business to Washing
ton.
II would he logical plan to hold
elections in September and inaug-
urate in November, or to elect in
March and inaugurate In May. But
such plans would make a big change
in our political customs, and the
idea Of an indoor Inauguration seems
more practical Let Washington en-
joy all the paradcs and inaugural
balls it can get our presidents to ar
range But let us not expect a lot
of elderly men to stand bare-headed
for long ceremonies in weather that
is practically winter.

Indian Fighters
To Get Pensions

At the conclusion Of the 64th con-
gress on March 8, an act was passed
to pension the survivors Of certain
Indian wars from January 1, 1853,
to January 1, 1891, inclusive. It Is
required that the survivor shall have
reached the age of 81 years and that
he have served 80 days or more dur
ing an Indian war recognized by the
act, or during the entire period OF
such war II its duration was less than
80 days, in order to secure title to
pension under the act.
Provision is also made fer the wild
ows, who have not remarked, Of such
survivors as are recognized by the
act. The survivor is to receive a pen
sion of 500 a month and the widow
$12, which are the rates pl divided for
other veterans of Indian wars and
their widows under eN'sting laws
The person chiefly instrumental in
securing this legislation was Con-
gressman w. c. Hawley, the law as
finally enacted being very similar to
his bill, with some alterations secured
largely by the efforts o. Senators
Smoot and Poindexter members OF
the. senate committee on pensions.
Mr.. Hawley has been urging this leg
'slation actively for several years. be-
ing actively supported by Captain o.

Service Started

The Southern Pacific has started
the issuing of the weekly fishing bull
letins, containing accurate reports Of
the fishing conditions throughout
Oregon. The bulletin is well ar
ranged, inclusive and will be well
coined by every angler. Each letter
is to have a number of pictures Of
fish and fishing in Oregon streams
and detail maps. Reports are gath
cred weekly from every agent and
from volunteer reporters Gl. over the
state. The Southern Paciiic's intro
ductory note, which comes with the
first weekly bulletin follows:
Dear Friends: True to our prom
ise of last September, we are with
you again at the opening OF the fish
ing season, How do you like our
new suit?
Last year was the first year that
this company issued weekly fishing
bulletin in the Pacific northwest, and
we are proud of the fact that al
though last season was mol up to the
average for fishing, yet the bulletin
was issued promptly each week from
March to September.
I'VE have arranged man. new fea'
lures for the Fishing Bulletins this
season. The bulletins are larger.
They are printed instead OF multi
graphed. This allows US to print a
map, pictures, etc. The map on the
opposite page was prepared by the
United States Forest Service. AS the
season advances we will arrange to
show in moro detail maps OF all the
counties in western Oregon.
1--WE will reproduce various pic
lures Of fish and fishing scenes from
week to week. We will need num-
ber of these pictures during the fish
ing season and We will be pleased to
receive pictures of this kind from our
fishermen friends.
"The Forest Service has instructed
its rangers to send in reports regard
ing fishing conditions in al of the
national forests of western Oregon.
These reports will be in addition to
the ones sent in by Southern Pacific
agents. hotel men, commercial clubs
and fishermen located at various
points. We will carefully check over
all reports and endeavor to keep out
everything except authenti" informa-
ton.
1--WE will place on our mailing list
for copies of this bulletin nny names
that you may give US from time to
time.
"If you have any suggestions. to Of
fer looking to the betterment Of these
bulletins, we will consider II favor
to have a letter sent in outlining
same. Remember to save these bulle-
tins, as we promise you that you will
have a collection of fishing maps, pic
lures, ETC., by the end Of the present
season that you will be proud to keep
and be able to show friends from 9th
or parts of the country that western
Oregon is fishing paradise de luxe"

ENCOURAGING INDUSTRY.

There is a chance for the boys and
girls Of Josephine county to make a
pocketfull of money this summer in
the offer of the Utah-Idaho Sugar
Company. Any good active youngster
can grow an acre of sugar beets by
his own labor, and perhaps draw
down one of the prizes offered. And
the prize is not the only inducement
to the making of the offer. An acre
in Sthe Rogue valley last year pro-
duced 2S tons of beets. That would
put $196 in the bank for Lhe boy who
does all the work himself. But sup
pose he falls short of the record and
only gets half es much tonnage, he
has still made pretty good return
for the effort required. Then, too,
he might by tho use of fertilizer and
water and diligence produce crop
such as Mr.. Campbell told us had
been produced in Nebraska by the
highest type of culture, CT Al tons
per acre. And the Rogue valley can
do. it If any country can. A crop OF
Al tons means $2S7 next October.
That of itself would be some prize.
Two acres of sugar beets, properly
cultivated upon good soil, will put
