Compared To these questions lam
nexationsl, that of war indemnity
appears at first sight TO be very
much simpler II is in fact extra
ordinarily difficult.
An indemnity which would be
adequate simply TO reimburse us our
war costs would perhaps amount TO
Approximately so bilions-12 bill
lions for the war itself; five 10 10
billion as an adequate pension fund
Tor invalid survivors and dependents;
the rest for the restoration of mill
tarv equipment for East Prussia,
Tsingtau. So far the reck-
oning is relatively simple, for what is
approximate in our estimates can be
figured exactly by the financial ad-
ministratiOn.
All these dangers must
be avoided. and they can be avoided
if the greater part of the indemnity
is required TO be paid not in cash
or exchange but i'm securities.

ton? Why these two measures

tion, bearing the bold salutation:
Initiated by c. S. Jackson and
R. W. Hagood. Why Messrs.
Jackson & Hagood?
For weeks Editor Jackson has
been raging over his two pet
measures. For weeks the editor
ial page Of the Journal has run
red with murderous attacks on
two Oregon statutes that seem
to be a great source of worry to
Messrs. Jackson & Hagood. One
is the delinquent tax publication
law and the other Is the existing
law fixing the rates for legal ad-
vertising in the state. Both laws
were regularly passed and have
stood the test Of time. They
were devised for public service
and both are patterned after sim
liar statutes in adjoining states.
The rates of publication in both
laws are as low, if not lower,
than charges fixed in nearly all
the states Of the union. No one
questions the statement that so
long as we have courts and laws,
there must be legal publication;
no one for moment will contend
that a delinquent taxpayer should
not be notified of delinquency.
Then why the editorial barrage
each day in the Journal?
Listen folks-it's a secret.

poked considerable fun at Mr..
Jackson. which riled him exceed
ingly. And again once upon a
time Editor jackson awoke to
find that the Multnomah county
delinquent tax list publication
had been legally awarded to his
esteemed contemporaries. the Or.
egonian and Telegram. Where
upon Millionaire Jackson again
gnashed his teeth and hissed
"revenge!" And now comes the
revenge. It's to be double.
barrelled buck-shot revenge, too,
ii Brother Jackson's well-laid
scheme doesn't come to the same
inglorious end that his beloved
single tax schemes came to at
the hands of the intelligent folks
of Oregon. It's to be. according
to Messrs. Jackson & Hagood, a
mighty drive on the newspapers
OF the state. I.'s advertised al
most as much as some other re-
cent drives and has just about
as muchfairness and sincerity of
purpose behind it.
The voters ofthe state are open
to argument but they refuse to
be coerced at Mr. Jackson's bid
ding. knowing the petty spite
behind his plans. Indications
are that they will vote a most
emphatic mo" to each of the
jackson. Hagood measures. They
believe the newspapers have a
right to live; they know of the
splendid work of the Oregon
press in supporting the war act
ivities and loan drives without
recompense; they know that pub
lication costs have gone skyward,
and that rates should be raised,
rather than lowered, if the news
papers of the state are to survive.
So much for the legal rate bill.
They naturally suspect the
attorney'spar in the de linquent
tax bill. They know that the
scheme Jackson & Hagood, the
lawyer, propose would throw
the delinquent taxpayer entirely
upon the mercies of the title
grabber. Jackson would provide
delinquency notice by mail. The
existing law provides the very
same thing, but goes a step fur
ther, IN the interest of the unfor-
tunate owner whose property
has become delinquent and pro-
vides that only upon failure of
the mail notice, shall publication
be made. The voters know that
jackson has forgotten to mention
this fact in his argument. They
know. too. that the present law
is fashioned to protect the unfor.
tunate delinquent from the tax
title grabber and others of his
type. and they will refuse point

rhe Wheat Raised in Grant Parish

KNe Wheat Raised in Grant Parish.
Aconservative estimate of the
wheat crop raised in Grant par
ish this year puts it at 1850 BUSH
els. The average yield of wheat
in the United States isfnom 20
to " per cent. A busKel of
wheat weighs 60 pounds, and the
yield of flour is fromNlO to 4S
pounds per bushel, according to
the grade of the wheat. y
According to these statistics it
takes little less than five bush
els of wheat to make barrel of
flour weighing 1876 pounds. By
this rule of measurement the
1850 bushels of wheat raised in
Grant parish is the equivalent of
a little more than 21O barrels of
flour. Can any of the other par
ishes beat this in the raising of
wheat?

only includes those in the draft
age.
Instead of going to work they
may go to war, which is about
the same. One is work and war
and the other is Just work.
Which is sufficient. by the way,
for some fellows.
The order is a good one, and
the fellows who have been in
door workers all their lives will
benefit by the outdoor work, or
possibly they can go into war
work in factories, etc. IL is cer-
tain to be a boon to the back TO

This order leaves a great. deal
in the discretion of the local
board. though it does only apply
tomen with dependents. A man
will not be required to change
occupation and move his family.
1t it means less money than the
family can live on.
The order is to help win the
war. however. and every local
board should see that the order
Is fully carried out. = Ruston
