A NATIONS FOOD SAVING.

The reports of the governmental departments for the
fiscal year ending June 30 show of the tremendous
things the people of the United States have done in the
way of saving foodstuffs and supplying the allies Among
these it is noted we sent the allies three hundred and
forty million bushels of cereals eighty million bushels
more than the previous year. This despite the fact
that the cereal crop was short and that had practically
only enough for home consumption. Of these cereals
one hundred and thirty-fve million bushels wheat
We had allotted the allies all that it thought possible
to spare yet when they stated they had to have seventy
five million bushels more Mr. Hoover undertook to raise
the quantity by an appeal to the patriotism of the Amer
ican people His reliance well borne out by the re-
suits for Americans denied themselves the of flour
to such an extent that sent eighy million bushels
or ten million more than asked During the fiscal
year we shipped to the allies three million pounds of meats
and fats an increase the preceding year Of eight
hundred and forty million pounds This oo in spite of the
fact that supply for the year was rather under the
normal 1t was economy in the use of these articles by
Americans that made this splendid showing possible The
outstanding feature of the movement is that entire
J voluntary the people responding generously and cheer
fully to the demand and may be sad almost universally
IT is the most emphatic to the German taunt that
we are nation Of dollar chasers that has been made We
found it very difficult thing to do and though we must
continue to conserve will find it still easier because i'll
has become, as it were habit. We have 250O0O0OOl
bushels wheat than last year. but until the war is
must try and keep surplus to meet another
possible short year.

A POOR YEAR FOR BUILDING.

Many in fact most Of the state institutions have an
item in their budgets for the coming bennium providing
for the erection of buildings 1t is conceivable that
there may be necessity for of these but the same
time is admitted that every unnecessary expense to the
taxpayer should be cut out The demand for labor is
pressing and every available man needed to carry on
the industries of the country When two and half mil
lion of ablebodied men sent to France the
demand for labor will be mmeasureably increased For
this reason other no buildings should be undertaken
that possibly be gotten along without Besides all ma
teria is high and to build will cost from fifty per
cent than during normal times and perhaps double
This is another strong why building should be
undertaken. Within six weeks the people of Oregon will
be called on to lend the government around forty million
dollars and following this another call will be made for
the Red Cross and other societies which will take another
million The people will doubt respond as they have
BEFORE taking the full quota Of bonds apporoned to the
state and they have just finished paying the last in
sallment of the third Liberty loan, it will be severe
drain them million dollars for buildings in these
days when most people talk in billions does not seem large
but it counts just the No doubt the tax cOmmsson
will take all these things and Others into consideration in
passing the NATTER and can be depended on to cut
out all but the absolutely necessary buildings.
