SCORES OF BELC|ANS
SEEK AMERICAN HOME

Thousands of Belgians of the most
desirable class are only awaiting an
opportunity to leave their native land
to come to the United States to make
their home, according to Val Martin of
Oak Grove, who has just returned from
four years of service with the Cana
dian army in Belgium. Martin was a
caller at the office of Sam A. Kozer,
deputy secretary of state, Thursday,
seeking some additional information re-
garding the resources and opportunl-
ties Offered prospective settlers in Ore
gon to send back to Belgium. Oregon,
he declared, is comparatively unknown
in Belgium whereas California; is her
aided on every hand. Oregon, he con-
tends must needs shake off some of her
false modesty and tell the world about
herself if she hopes to reap the reward
that should be hers in the shape OF
these thrifty Belgian bankers: mer
chants and professional men who, dis
couraged with conditions in Europe
are looking to the new world for a bet
ter future Martin states that he did
all in his power to advertise Oregon
while in Belgium but that the job IS
too big for any one man to handle
alone and declares that some organiza-
ton should get on the job at once.

AUTO LAWS NOT
ENFORCED THRU
PARTS OF STATE

If automobile owners in the remote
counties of the state are not comply
ing with the state law requiring the
payment of license and the use of
license tag as reported by R. A. Booth,
state highway commissioner, it is due
to the failure of the police officers,
sheriffs and constables of the commu-
mites in enforcing the law. according
to a letter written to Booth by Sam
"A. Kozer, deputy secretary of state.
% 1t has been observed by me and
others-c especially in remote counties
of the state like Coos and Curry and
Klamath-that quite good many of
the automobiles are without license
tags, indicating they are not register
ed,' Booth writes in his letter to the
secretary of state s office. els there
any way in which this matter could be
more carefully guarded, without ere
ating an unwarranted expenseY'
In his reply Kozer declares that
''the duty of enforcing the provisions
solely in the police officers of the cit
les and towns, sheriffs, deputy sheriffs
and constables of the counties.
"This includes all violations, both
as to licensing and the operation of
motor vehicles on the highways of the
state the letter continues. "The du-
ties of the secretary Of state are mere
lv to register motor vehicles and chauf-
feurs as appropriate applications are
received from time to time, and assign
annropriate license number plates and
chauffeur badges under such apliea-
tions. 1t has no police power whatever ;
Every form letter and blank issued
from the secretary of states office
calls attention to these facts regarding
the enforcement Of the motor vehicle
law, the letter states, and complaints
registered with the office regarding
the violation of the law are promptly
forwarded to the police officer of the
community in which the violation oc-

Delicate Mechanism

Despite its scope Swift &
Company is a business Of in
finite details, requiring infinite
attention.
Experienced men must know
livestock buying with a knowl-
edge of weight, price, the amount
and quality Of meat the live
animals will yield.
Each manufacturing operation must
be done with expert skill and scientific
precision. "A highly perishable product
must be handled with speed and care
to avoid loss.
Chemists, engineers, accountants,
and other specialists are required to
take care of our intricate problems.
Alert wisdom and Judgment must
be used in getting stocks of goods into
the open channels of demand through
our four hundred branch houses.
Branch house organizations must
show activity and energy to sell at the
market in the face of acute competi-
ton from other large packers, and
hundreds of small ones.
All these requirements ofintellige
loyalty, devotion to the task, are met
in the personnel Of Swift & Company.
Yet the profit is only q fraction of cent
per pound with costs at minimum.
How can the workings Of this deli
cate human mechanism be improved
upon?
Do you believe that Government
direction would add to our efficiency
or improve the service rendered the
producer and consumer?

THE THIRD TERM

SENATOR SHERMAN has read the
~ third term gossip in the dispatches of
the correspondents accompanying the
President. and he has paid his respects
to the proposition.
But the senator should not be too
severe on the President. We do not
know whether he is considering third
term or not, but when one looks over the
field there seems to be lack of available
Democratic timber. There has been talk
of Daniels and Baker and McAdoo, but
each of these men is weak or vulnerable
The Democratic party has for nearly
forty years been the party of perpetual
candidates. for when it has found a man
with any strength it has run him till he
was run into the ground or till he failed
to represent the party.
Cleveland, who was elected in 1884,
ran twice more, and if it had not been
for the strength of the free-silver wing
of the party he might have run fourth
time. Bryan, who received the nomina-
ton in 1896. was nominated twice more
and has been a candidate for the nomina-
tion in every convention of his party
since he first stampeded it by his sophis-
teal crown of thorns and cross of gold
speech.
The party will disregard its precedents
if Mr.. Wilson is not nominated again.

A TENOR AS A LABoRER

kT FIRST thought it would seem as if
"A the New York immigration authori-
ties were going too far in refusing to
allow an Italian tenor to enter the coun-
try on the ground that he is contract
laborer. He had an agreement with
opera managers under which he was to
receive $3.50 week.
But when one considers the matter a
little longer their action seems to be
natural and justiable Ten years ago
a man getting $3.50 week might have
been called an artist, but nowadays.
when freight engineers on the railroads
and conductors on jerk-w lter lines are
receiving $4,000 and $4,000 a year we can
not regard a man who gets few dollars
more for working with his vocal cords
as anything but laborer Under the
circumstances the foreigner comes within
the provisions of the law which forbids
the importation of c. ntract labor of any
kind

STATUS OF HOG ISLAND

NNORD comes from Washington that
w the government is to sell the Hog
Island plant to the American 1nterna
tional Corporation and that that corpora
tion will transform it into a great ter
minal.
If this be we'll founded, then the plans
that were made before the shipbuildng
plants were constructed are to be car
red out.
The American International Corpora
ton bought Hog Island before the war
as the site for great shipping terminal.
When the war started it entered into an
agreement with the government to turn
the property into shipbulding plant
but the piers and railroad tracks were
constructed in such way that they
could be used for commerce when the war
was over.
There wa> an understanding that the
government might exercise an option on
the land and take over the whole enter
prise if it chose to do so, and that if it
did not choose to buy the land the Ameri-
can International Corporation could buy
the plant that had been constructed at a
figure to be agreed upon.
If the Washington report is true, then
the government has decided not to eXer-
else its option, but will allow the Ameri-
can International Corporation to take
over the property and carry out the plans
that it made in the first place.

The POSTWAR EXODUS

YEARS that foreigners in America
would flock back to Europe as soon
as the fighting ceased prove to be just
as groundless as the prospect of that
terrible deluge of European goods which
was to have upset our industrial struc-
ture. The prostration abroad still post
pones that danger. The exodus peril is
not likely to materialize at all.
Mr. Caminetti, the commissioner gen
eral of immigration, reports that only
about 100000 foreigners have left this
country since the armistice was signed,
and that the situation is perfectly
natural, and, as usual. many will return.
In spite of professional alarmists normal
adjustment processes have a way of as
serting themselves even after world
war
There will. however. be a rush to
Europe. one which will not come within
the immigration commissioners province,
when the multitude of American vaca=
tionists resume their summer practice of
hurredly inspecting the Old World. That
movement, too, will be quite normal,
with the dizzy price, of steamship fares
as about the only check on the flow.

A BAROMETER OF UNREST

TN THE steel industry, rather than in
L the hubbub at Boston or among rail-
way men, it is possible to find the quick
est and truest reflections of changing
opinion on both sides of the labor dispute
Recently there have been signs to indi-
cate that the men who direct the steel
business of the country are actually with
out hope of peaceable settlement of the
questions raised by their men. Their at
titude has been one of desper-
ate resignation to general strike
inspired by feeling that the resources
Of the steel industry are not adequate to
meet the demands being made upon it.
The men themselves seem determined to
press their demands to the limit. Both
sides appeared braced for long struggle
when the President intervened with re-
quest that issues in question be submit
ted to the industrial conference at Wash
ington before a call for strike.
A temporary paralysis OF the steel in
dustry would disastrously affect every
line of business in the United States. II
would involve stupendous losses and in

ZONE FARES IN A TRYOUT

ENVEN while the technique Of tho zone
~ fare system was being worked out in
Canoen by means Of rebuilt terminals,
cash registers and schools of rapid calcu-
lation for trolley crews, it was pretty
plain to everybody but the strcet-car
management that the scheme couldn't
be. either pleasant or effective in prac-
tice. 1t was too complicated for human
endurance. 1t included too many Sug-
gestions of comedy.
The determination OF the street-car
company to change and simplify its
method, arrived at after days Of futile
and expensive experiments, was iner-
table
Meanwhile some sharp questioning is
likely to be inspired by the collapse Of
the original plan. The management OF
the Camden trolleys has conspicuously
demonstrated its inability to solve one
important problem of practical operation.
Has it failed or is it failing in other in
stances? Is it failure to meet other
practical problems of administration that
has been piling up the overhead costs
which the riding public is asked to meet
with increased fares?
If the management of the Camden troll
Icy lines has been as ineXpert in its
yearly routine as it proved itself to be in
formulating the new zone fare collection
system the wonder is not that the rate
of fare has gone up, but that it hasn't
zone higher

MORE OE IL

PUTLERS have not yet rioted in the
- streets. The Wallets are still working.
But no one can say how long peace will
last. 1t is the BARRIERS who are now nail
ing their flag to the mast and clamoring
for larger share in the profits.
This is far more serious than it might
appear. 1t actually carries us bit
nearer to bolshevism, since no man
thinks or acts nationally when he hasn't
been shaved for days. All Reds hate the
razor.
Do boards beget bolshevism or does
bolshevism beget boards? We shall see
if the BARRIERS strike continues. Mean
while it is easier to foresee the time when
the great unorganized masses will rise in
wrath and make demonstrations in the
streets. That will be when we all have
to cut cur own hair.
