CONCERNING HOPS

Editor Capital Journal: A gigantic
bold robbery. Ring leaders, E. G. Horst
of S. F., financed by the Armor gamb-
lers of Chicago Aeeomplices, Wolf Hop
Co., Scovey Hop Co., McNeff Bros. of
Portland, T. A. Livesley & Co., Lach-
mund Co. and Lowie Hop Co. of this
city. While there are others, these are
the principles in Oregon. When this
combination was formed Livesley was
asked the object, he stating: "Well to
maintain moro even market, keep it
from fluetuating so much.' - Take the
past ten years and see if it has not
made some erratic raises and falls,
but always to the growers disadvant
age.
When hops went to 40 cents down to
33 cents and back to As all within a
few weeks; all after the crop was in
the bale, then down to practically moth
ing. Another year market jumped over
night to to 20 cents then up to 28 cents
again down, down to ten cents or less.
The 1915 crop was sold short by deal
ers to England along about this time
Of year at Is cents f. o. b. to the ex
tent of nearly 100000 bales, leaving
the association growers hops unsold,
cunningly prearranged by E. G. Horst
knowing Oregon growers so well that
when large crops come, get excited and
dump their hops on market, making it
harder to control. OF course some of
these dealers did join while Others rid
iculed to make the play look good, asso-
citation growers put up cash or note to-
the extent of $40 per acre and turned
over their hops for 3 years. All these
growers know what has happened
since second year. When grower re-
fused to deliver he was bluffed in
many cases to again turn his hops over,
without getting his money for the first
cron. Now the growers have been used
long enough, dealers contracts have
mostly expired with brewers, and grow
ers are advised even threatened, should
they not plow out they would be ruin
ed.
After this is accomplished what hap

not plow up were mostly contracted or
bought on the vine at 10c or less. Now
that they have most all hops under
their control market jumped very sud
denly, to % cents, though they claimed
les than a few months ago if there was
not bale grown this year there would
be hops enough to supply the trade.
Why the sudden change; Looks like

That was a clever scheme of tie German potters to
elect German reserve officer as governor of British
Columbia and it might have worked If the voters could
be managed to be pretty evenly divided the solid
vote of those naturazed Germans could have carried the
day. 1t shows the worldwide attempt of the German
propaganda and emphasizes the fact that when Germany
forced Austria to declare Serbia she did it with
the expectation of starting war which would leave her
mistress of the world The kaiser was deceived to the
power of the zeppelin with which he thought he could
bring the world into subjection He has discovered his
mistake but the things such the plot uncovered at

In keeping with the example set by
President Woodrow Wilson, Sheriff J.

proclamation to the citizens of Maury

81. j. w. Griffin, sheriff of Maury
county, deem it wise in the present
crisis, in this formal proclamation to
assure all residents of foreign birth
that in the event of the United States
becoming actively involved in the
great European war, no citizen of any
foreign power, resident in Maury
'ounty, need fear any invasion of his
personal or property rights so long as
he goes peaceably about his business
and conducts himself in law-abiding
manner.
THE United States has never. in
any war, confiscated the property of
any foreign resident unless by his own
hostile acts he made it necessary.
Il take this formal means of declar-
ing to all foreign born residents that
they will be protected in the owner
ship of their property and money and
that they will be free from personal
molestation, so long as they obey the
laws Of the state, county and nation
and the ordinances of the city.
Il urgently request that all our peo-
pie refrain from public discussion of
questions involved in the present crisis
and maintain calm and considerable
attitude toward all without regard to
their nationality.
Let it be understood that every
citizen owes undivided allegiance to
the American flag, that he is expected
to Loyalty fulfill all obligations which
citizenship and residence impose upon
him, and that any act, however slight,
tending to give aid or comfort to the
enemy is treason, for which severe
penalties are provided in addition to
that punishment which public opinion
inflicts upon the memory of all trait,
