The Quartermaster General Of
the army has a much more eff
cient plan, inasmuch as this
work will be done chiefly by in
termed aliens, enemy prisoners,
conscientious objectors, and mi
litary prisoners. Best of all,
enlisted men physically insult
ed for service overseas or parti-
ally disabled will likely be as
signed to this agricultural
work. The Quartermaster Gen.
|eral believes that after a few
months of outdoor work many
of these, men will so improve
physically that they will be-
come fit for transfer to fighting
units. Thus the army will re-
claim men as we'll as materials
and supplies.

~ HERE is logic in the state
VI ment of Herbert Hoover
that price fixing cannot
be relied upon to curb excess
profits though at times the gov
ernment's action in designating
price will serve to keep pri-
ces from going to the skies.
By the nature of things the
government must rely on tax
alton in dealing with profiteers.
Price fixing is intended chiefly
to increase production and to in
sure satisfactory distribution.
1t acc0mplishes these ends. But
in doing so the action at times
means huge profits in certain
lines. 1t cannot be otherwise.
But worry not about profiter-
ing if the government through
the income and excess profit
taxes can step in and take
away the unearned profits.
This is what has been done to
a large extent this year; it is
what will be done even more
thoroughly in the future.

Misleading notions are being
spread regarding profittering.
Some newspapers picture only
one side of the ledger, ignoring
the federal taxes that must be
paid by corporations making
large dividends and individuals
making more than during pre-
war days. What difference if
heavy profits are made if the
profiteers are forced by the tax
collectors to disgorge at times
as much as so per cent of their
earnings?
Before you form any violent
conclusions about profittering
study closely the federal tax
provisions as well as the re-
ports of vast earnings and you
will not rest uneasy.
Uncle Sam is by no means the
fool some people believe.

government has es-
tablished a new Division OF
Conservation and Reclamation.
The aim of this division will be
to prevent all food waste in the
army and to reclaim and sal
wage all worn-out and cast-off
material.
No restrictions will be placed
upon the amount that our SOL
diers may eat; but much of the
food will be saved that was for
merly lost through carelessness.
Each organization of the army,
which conducts a "mess," will
be required to separate and
classify kitchen waste pro-
duced in the preparation and
serving of each meal, so that it
can be disposed of most advan-
tageously. The Division of
Conservation and Reclamation
cooperating with the Food Di-
vision of the Medical Depart
ment, will interest itself espe-
eially in the storage of food and
in the reduction of wastes.
Further, it will have active
charge of farming and garden
operations for each camp and
cantonment. The produce,
raised will be used in ratiOning
troops and providing animals
with forage. Men fit for active
duty will not be required to as
sist in this agricultural service.

n4 NDER present orders it
Va is impossible to send
parcels to soldiers in
France, without first having a
written request for the supplies,
approved by a specified Off
Ger. The rule, howevr, does
not apply to the sending of
newspapers or magazines. The
exemption allows you to render

a little for postage. Save your
newspapers and send them to
the soldiers who have entered
the service from this locality.
Their letters show them to be

than from any other source.
Many of the boys write that
copies of the East Oregonian

Save your old papers and
send them to the boys at the
