FARMERS LOSE
HUNDRED MILLIONS
(By Smell Smith,

Charging the Department of Agri-
culture under the Democratic Ad-
ministration with inefficiency and un-
fairness in the grading of the wheat
and potatoes of the farmers, Con-
gresham Halvor Steenerson, Of
Minnesota, has voiced what he de-
clares to be universal complaint" "
Asked at a meeting of the editors of
farm journals with the Chief Of the
Bureau of Markets to state his views
frankly in criticism, he did so with
facts and figures that are somewhat
startling.
The substance of the charge of the
tall legislator from Minnesota, who
is himself farmer and will be chair
man of the Postoffices and Post
Roads Committee in the next House,
is somewhat technical, but it reveals
a loss to the wheat producers of the
country of more than 100000, 900

Hold On To Uncle Sans Insurance.

To Soldiers and Sailors of America.
Approximately four million officers
and men of the Army and Navy are
now insured with the United States
Government for a grand total of
almost thirty-seven billion dollars.
You owe it to your yourself and to
your family to hold on to Uncle Sam s
insurance. 1t is the strongest, safest,
and cheapest life insurance ever
written.
For your protection Uncle Sam
has established the greatest life in
surance company in the world-a
company as mighty, as generous, and
as democratic as the United States
Government itself. Just as Uncle
Sam protected you and your loved
ones during the war, so he stands
ready to continue this protection
through the days of readjustment
and peace.
The privilege Of continuing your
Government insurance is valuable
right given to you as part of the
compensation for your heroic and
triumphant services. If you permit
the insurance to lapse, you lose that
right, and you will never be able to
regain it, But if you keep up your
present insurance-by the regular
payment of premiums--you will be
able to change it into standard
Government policy without medical
examination. Meantime you can keep
up your present insurance at sub
stantially the same low rate. The
Government will write ordinary life
insurance, twenty-paymen life, en-
dowment maturing at age 81, and
other usual forms of insurance. This
will be Government insurance-at
Government rates.
The United States Government
through the Bureau of War Risk In
surance of the Treasury Department
will safeguard you and your loved
ones with the spirit and purpose of a
Republic grateful to its gallan. de-
tenders. To avail yourself of this
protection, you must keep up your
present insurance. Carry back with
you to civil life, as an aid and an
asset, the continued insurance pro-

w. B. Ewing, who for thirty-six
years lived On and developed one of
the very best alfaila ranches on
Lower Willow creek in this county,
writes us an interesting letter from
his home at Oakland, Oregon. He
states that Douglas county, where he
now resides, has a mild and most
congenial climate. There is an
abundance of rain in the winter and
in the summer it does not rain any
more than in Eastern Oregon. The
entire county is hills and narrow
valleys, every ranch has pure spring
water and good timber, and deer and
game birds are plentiful. The
principal industries are the raising
of sheep, goats, turkeys and fruit.
and farming is only to meet the
demand for feed. Sheep, goats and
turkeys run at large, there being no
varmints to molest them. In early
days the county was infested with
coyotes and bear, but most every
farmer is a hunter and keeps hound
dogs and the varmints cannot exist
there. Mr.. Ewing further states that
the taxes are very low in Douglas
county, because of its large area and
thick population, They have good
roads also and Mr.. Ewing is quite
well pleased with his surroundings
in Southern Oregon.

JUNIOR DRAMATISTS
PROVE A SUCCESS

Imagine going to call on your sweet
heart and being thrown out by her
country cousin, flirted with by other
girls, and treated generally rough.
This is what happened to Fred Shyler
in Too Much of Good Thing,
which appeared at the Colony Theater
Sunday evening when the Junior Dra-
matte Club made its first appearance
in big play cast entirely by juniors.
Eunice Bowles and Jennie Culper,
who is engaged to Fred Shyler, are
visiting at the home of their aunt and
uncle, Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins. The Per-
kinses are expecting a nephew, Tom
Perkins, from the country, and Jennie
is looking for her sweetheart to arrive,
so there is nothing strange when the
two arrive that there is a general mix
up. Tom arrives, and while the maid
is gone to call the family, Fred Shy
Ter also arrives. The two accuse each
other of being imopsters and in the
tussle which ensues Fred is thrown out
of the house. He returns in time to
catch Tom in the act of kissing Jennie.
This arrouses his jealousy. but Eunice
and her three cousins. Hattie and Mel
lie Perkins and Eunice Bowes, plan to
place Fred in similar position which
will teach him a lesson. The three
cousins flirt outrageously with Fred
pretending that they think he is the
cousin. The plan works, and in the
end harmony reigns.
Another pIaylet entitled Wanted
A cook" was exceedingly well played
by four of the members of the Dramat-
&c Club. Two of these, A. A. Stewart
and Ed. BrueI appeared for the first
time, and the other two, Frank Nc
Mahon and Howard Buck have appear
ed several times before. There were
a number of local hits introduced and
these raised big laugh. The charac-
tiers were all well taken. the one of the
French Chef by Mr.. BrueI being es-
pecially so, his knowledge of French
ways helping him to produce SPLEEN
did characterization.
The show ended with two reels of
Ford educational films. The Sugar
Industry in the Hawaiian Islands. and
"Old St. Augustine" were shown.
Moving pictures are to be a part of
most of the shows from now on.
The show for the coming Sunday is
up to the usual standard. There will
be a number of songs, a little sketch
and some moving pictures.

SWAT THE PEDICREED HOG

Thousands of pure-bred scrubs are
scattered through this country, accord
ing to hog-extension men Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture, who
are devoting their efforts to elimin-
ating inferior pedigreed animals. This,
they say, applies to all kinds of live
stock, but IS perhaps more general in
the hog industry. Pedigrees are nee
essary are valuable to the hog breeder,
yet the pedigree is the means of fool
ing a lot of farmers, particularly those
who are about to start into the pure
bred hog business and who have not
had enough experience in judging and
selecting animals of good standard
type. Buyers should not be contented
simply with pure-bred animals, but
should see in addition that the animals
they are about to purchase have good
quality, say the department hog spe-
cialists.

RAILRoAD DEBTS AND CREDITS

MAILMAN O1DAAO AMI NAALDA -
The Director General of Railroads,
Walker D. Hines, is now earnestly con-
sidering the problem of what advances
in railroad rates the Government must
make to provide for the greatly in
creased cost of railroad labor, as well
as labor in industries supplying coal,
steel, and other material to the car
riers. Il seems inevitable that the Gov
eminent must soon advance rates suf-
ficiently to provide $400O00,000 to
$500,000,000 additional revenues.
The increased cost of railroad labor
since 1917 is ST ,000,000,000 year;
the average annual earnings per man
have risen from $1,000 to ST 500. The
increased cost Of materials consumed
in the production Of transportation is
more than $500,000,000 year and
the bulk Of this increased cost goes
to the workers in coal mines, steel
plants, and the other industries produc-
ing railroad materials. 1t is fair to
say that Of the ST ,500.000,000 added
to the cost of producing transporta-
ton, all but very small part is in
wages.
To meet this increased operating
cost, the Government has thus far IN
creased railroad revenues through adj
vances in rates BY about 81 600, 0O0,-
600; so that there is left $500.000,-
900 Of increased costs that have not
been provided for. For the time being
the deficit is being met out Of the pub
JIG treasury. Obviously this cannot
long continue. The railroads today,
on the present disIocated basis Of costs
and rates. are. taking them as whole,
barely earning the interest on their
bonds and practically nothing for their
owners.
When the Government took control
Of the railroad for war purposes, it
was provided. on the Recommendation
Of the President. that there should be
paid for their use about $9OO,O 600
a year, or little more than S per cent
on the value Of the properties. In the
first year of Government control, the
net operating income fell to about 4
per cent. and this year. without an In
crease in rates. il is likely to be less
than 8 per cent
THE RETURN OF THE RAILROADS
The return of the railroads to their
owners on such an inadequate income
basis as is shown BY the Director Gem
eFal Of the Railroads in the hearings
before Congress, would. It is pointed
out. not only mean the reduction OF
elimination Of large part Of railroad
dividends. but would undoubtedly
mean default in interest payments ON
many railroad bonds. AS Senator
Cummins, Chairman Of the Senate In-
'terstate Commerce Committee, has
said. return Of the roads to their
owners without a proper financial re-
adjustment would not only mean rail-
road bankruptcy, but would undermine
our whole financial structure.

West stated that on the various rail-

in all the other allied countries, the In
ternational proIetariats" were the ones
who fought the war for justice and
freedom; and if there isas the Prss-
ident stated in his recent message "a

proletariats. Proletariats have at ev-
cry turn Of affairs stood against organ

Those who have instituted organ

theory that theirs is a class war But
they are he same impostors today that
they were in the days when they prac-
ticed the trade Of buccaneers at sea
and highwaymen Of the road; the same
as when they tried to pull off a revolt
ution in Seattle; or further back when
they attempted to terrorize Chicago
through the Haymarket riots.
Organized crime is likely one of the
aftermaths Of war; and it must be sup
pressed. This class of violence admits
Of no argument since it represents
deeds for which jails, and prisons have
been built in every town and city in the
land, to take care Of the enemies OF
society,
The ''proIetariats of America have
always settled their affairs at the bal
lot box. The murderers who believe
that this is the time to organize their
practices are not proletariats at all.
They are plain criminals. And no re-
spectacle Government can countenance
organized crime against organized gov
eminent. Efforts of the Federal Gov
eminent are being vigorously directed
towards rounding up these evil forces
in our own country, and anarchism will
speedily remove its domicile to quar-
tiers enclosed behind prison bars.

ORGANIZED CRIME


Emboldened by such successes as
have attended the |. w. w. and the
Tom Mooney agitatiOns, the anarchists
of the country have started in upon a
campaign of organized crime. and the
attempt upon the life Of Attorney Cen
eral A. Mitchell Palmer is clearly a
part of the scheme to terrorize the
country. A Socialist politician says
that anarchism is form of insanity,
and incidentally he puts in a good
word for his own quere cult-to which
Others may agree unless the socialist
bug has bitten too deep, in which case
it becomes one of the breeders Of vio-
lence. which is cropping out with
alarming frequency.
In the debris scattered about the
Palmer home, there was picked up an
inflamitory circular in which appeared
these words: THE time has come when
the social questions solution can be
delayed no longer. Class war is on
and cannot cease but with complete
victory for the international proIe-
tariats."
Organized crime. directing its guns
against organized government, can do
nothing but strengthen the government.
There were Others to succeed Lincoln,
Garfield. and Mckinley; just as there
are many men who might have carried

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
(By J. E. JOnes)

roads the increased cost of labor and
materials was from SO to 90 per cent,
while the increase in rates was less
than Is per cent. He suggested that
to reestablish the equilibrium between
rates and costs it might be necessary
to find $300,0O0,000 of additional
revenues through an advance in rates.
In putting the figure as low as
$300,000,000, the Director General
undoubtedly has in mind the possibility
of greater efficiency in railroad labor
and some reduction in the. cost Of coal,
steel, and other products consumed in
operation. As for the reduction in the
cost Of materials, it must be borne in
mind that these increased costs for
coal, steel, and other materials, are
based on new level of wages. and the
concensus of expert opinion is that
there will be little change in the level
of prices for some time to come.
The general advance in railroad
rates made year ago by the Director
General was on the assumption Of
possible total increase in wages of
$350,000,000, but since the Lane
Wage Board made its report. $780,
100000 additional increases in wages
have been granted. and it is understood
that further wage increase may be
made in the near future.
Director General Hines states that
railroad transportation charges to the
public are still so low, compared with
all other things, that freight rates, even
with a further advance Of 1870 to
2O96, would still be the lowest in the
world.
