paid on the basis of the grades OF his
wool or different wools, If he has more
than one kind.
Under Government regulations local
buyers are allowed to purchase wool
from the individual growers at 1hc.
less than the fixed Portland price, as
their commission for handling. These
local buyers must sell this wool to the
authorized dealers in Portland at the
fixed price.
On the other hand growers of a
County can pocl their wool into car
load lots and ship direct to an author
lied dealer in Portland, thus saving
the Nc. per pound which would other
wise go to the local buyer. The grow
er must however, pay the freight on
the car lot to Portland which Is only
about Nc. per pound. By pooling the
growers will thus save 1c per lb. on
their wool, and the government urges
THAT growers ship by this method. The
governments prime object in regulat-
= ing the sale OF wo |, Is to cut out the
'many middlemen and prevent prorl-
teering. Growers are warned to in
vestigate when approached by local
buyers some Of whom are, or are at
tempting, to buy for lses than the
1hc under the fixed Portland price,
which is violation of the govern
ment regulations.
Growers who desire immediate pay
ment may collect rs per cent of the
wool value as soon as graded, at
per cent interest, provided they re-
quest 1t. But growers will be allowed
per cent on the total value from the
time II is graded until sold by the
authorized dealer, thus one will bal
ance the other. Request for mined
late payment should be made to A.
A. Asbahr Secy Of the Pooling Assn.
On account Of the off-setting OF the
two interest charges, nothing in pa,-
ticular will be gained by requesting
immediate payment, unless the grower
be in urgent need of his money. Just
how soon the wool will be sold by the
authorized dealer is not known.
Shipping Arrangements
The Board of Directors OF the Eddy
Vile Mohair Pool and Woolgrowers
Association met at Eddyville on June
eth, and made arrangements for the
shipment of County wool
in car load lot. The car will be
loaded at Eddyville on July 9Th. All
growers who wish to ship should have
their wool at Eddyville on that date
or before. Consign to A. A. Asbahr
who will be there to load out the
wool. Use tag, on which also write
name and address OF sender. Your
sacks will be remarked by the ship
per at Eddyville and a record kept OF
same. 1t would be best to put your
different woods in separate sacks to
facilitate and assure more accurate
grading in Portland. This is however,
not necessary and where growers have
only one sack they may not care to

FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER II, 1918.
WlPlNG OUT THE CONSTITUTION

The purpose of the ten amendments which are pro-
posed for adoption by the voters at the approaching
election is to wipe out the constitution of the state. 1t
Is true that if these amendments are adopted some frag-
ments Of the original document will be left, but in the
main essentials, which impose wholesome restrictions on
the acts Of the legislature. the constitution will be gone.
g It was thought wise to limit the bonding powers of
the legislature. The limit was fixed at 100000. That
limit may have been too low at the beginning, and 1t
seems certain that since the state has reached it's pres
emit population and wealth, and the demands on the state
government have naturally increased. the limit might
very prudently be increased now. But the Socialists pro-
pose. not to increase the limit, but to remove it. Under
the amendments as proposed the legislature may issue
or guarantee bonds in any amount, and every bond is
sued will become a mortgage on the home and the prop
4erty Of every resident Of the state.
It would be a serious enough thing to dispense thus
summarily with all existing restrictions in the matter of
Indebtedness even if we were sure that our legislature
would at all times be made up Of men Of sound business
Judgment and Of sufficient independence to act according
to that judgment. Even the wisest and most capable
men are apt to make mistakes in the handling of i'm
portant matters II ample time is not taken for considera-
ton. But the element which is promoting the move
ment for constitutional aendment now is the element
which proposes for election to the legislature men who
will be governed in all their acts by the will of irresponsi-
BILE menswhose only interest in the state is to derive rev.
enue from It. II the amendments are passed we may
expect to see repeated at Bismarck this coming winter
the scandalous performances Of two years ago, with
the exception that the Bolshevik bosses then were de-
prived Of full power by the existence Of a senate not
amenable to their control, whereas the same vote that
carries the amendments this year, If they are carried,
will be able to elect both house and senate according to
its liking.

JUST

JUST how much real sentiment is expressed in a good
many gubernatorial< ~proclamations is indicated in the
proclamation issued by Governor Frazier setting apart
October IL, Columbus Day. an q state holiday. The proc
lanation followed that by President Wilson issued some
time earlier urging that the anniversary of the discovery
of America be suitably observed. In this proclamation the
governor recommends that the day be marked by page
ants and other public demonstrations. The document was
issued on Tuesday. when it had been known for days that
the state was in the grip Of an epidemic which was sweep
ing the country. and when the health authorities of our
own and other states were putting forth every possible
effort to prevent large gatherings Of every kind. The
recommendation Of Governor Frazier, issued when they
were were distinctly contrary to public policy. The proc
lamation was issued, Of coursetas 30 many such docu-
ments are. In 9 purely perfunctory manner, without
thought Of their zeal meaning and effect.

DISCIPLINE OF H FIST

= In a letter from a Canadian soldier published in the
Winnipeg Free Press, the following comment on the Ger
man attitude is given:
German prisoners have strange ideas, especially the
officers. The latter enter our lines usually with the air
Of comforting a favor. They demand, seldom ask, never
say thanks. In the drive referred to the privates develop
ed some such insolence. One lot refused to carry back
the wounded, even their own, on their way to the rear.
One of our boys told hove he and his friends altered the
resolution. Instead of the bayonet, they applied the good
old British fist. Even the pacifist could scarcely complain
Of that. BY the time I saw them they were as meek as
lambs"
A great deal is compressed into that short paragraph
The German soldier has been trained in an atmosphere
Of brutality. It would be a miracle If he were not brutal:
and the miracle has not been performed. Whether adj
ministered by means Of the bayonet or the fist the Ger
man is amenable only to the discipline Of force. 1t is
that discipline which has been found necessary in the con-
troll of individual prisoners. and it is that discipline which
must be applied to the nation as a whole. ',@@
The kaiser some time ago announced that he was
again offering peace to the entente powers. The kaiser
may abate his generosity. The Allies want none of his
peace. When the kaiser makes up his mind to take the
kind Of peace that the A1lies will let him have, he will
have made progress

THE GERMAN REPLY AND AFTER

I. lneIe IS every reason to suppose that the German
f.eply to President Wilson'S note of inquiry will be sent
Very soon. Germany is interested just now in making
1 show of good faith. She will conclude, if she is cap
able Of Interpreting the presidents note Alright, that it is
Useless for her to hope to obtain a peace by negotiation.
But the kaiser and his associates must certainly know
THAT 1t will not do for them to incur what is certain to
happen to them at the hands Of their own people if
those people become convinced that they have been mis-
led and betrayed by their masters. and that those mas
ters continue to subject them to further injury and dis
sister by pursuing a deliberate course Of double dealing.
The German government is in a hard case. In shaping
its course it will have regard for no considerations other
than its own interest. Whatever plan promises to subject
the government to the smallest degree Of humiliation
sand loss will be the plan adopted. OF that we NAV rest
assured. And that plan is not the acceptance of the
terms Of peace which have been stated by the American
government and accepted as theirs by all the govern
Inents associated with it in the war.
A reasonable supposition Is that the answer will be
sent without great loss Of time, because needless delay
Nould at once convince the German people that their
rplers are playing with them. And it may be taken for
Eranted that the answer will be a bubble. Frank &C.
neptance Of the terms would mean unconditional sur
render, and unconditional surrender would leave a lot
of German rulers without Jobs. If. surrender must come
y will doubtless be delayed until the latest possible mo-
nnent Short Of prompt surrender, the only course is to
spar for time and seek to draw the Allies into discussion.
From this side there will be no discussion. All the cir
cnnstances prohibit It.
The German request for an armistice was made,
coupled with the statement that the presidents terms
would be accepted. The wording Of the message was
purposely ambiguous. The president asked that It's mean
Ing be made clear. In his reply he Indicated plainly that
the German, government was not to be trusted, and that
~ promises on its part would be considered unless &C

the Germans on the run. They viii keep up the motion
unless the Germans are able to recover themselves and
interpose a temporary check. And, IL that happens,
which 1t may, at some stage, the Germans will be ham
mered. in fresh places, and forced out of new positions
until they have been driven. not only out, of France. but
out Of Belgium as well. And there will be something
lacking If the fighting is not carried to German soil be-
the horrible game is over.
