Seventh: Adjustment of Wage
Disputes. A labor board similar t.
those now operating under the di-
rector general of railways is to be
established to hear and decide ail
questions of wage disputes and
grievances.
Eighth: Financial Features. The
government can borrow money for
tne financing of a project of this
KIND at rates from two to three per
cent less than those demanded by
private concerns. Thus public own
ership would save from 100000
600 to s600,000,000 per year on tie
capital account alone by reason of
lower rates on interest on the in
vestment."

which badly damaged the American
tank steamer, George G. Henry. and
destroyed merchandise on the docks
valued at 100000 francs to-day was
caused by oil from the tanker catch

FOUND WHAT HE WANTED

After the armistice was signed il
was the highest ambition of about 75
per cent of the army and navy men
to secure an immediate discharge, anC
all sorts of ruses were used to secure
one.
One soldier in particular hit upon
brilliant plan one night. Next day
all the lad did was to roam around
camp and pick up and scan very care
fully every slip of paper that he saw
The next day it was the same, and
the next and the next and so on unit
the officers noticed it.
They watched him day by day. He'd
pick up piece after piece of paper
look at it carefully, then throw il
down and say, "That's not it." Twas
the same thing over and over.
Finally he was given an examination
and they decided he was insane, sc
they fixed him up with an M. D
(medical discharge). When it was
handed to him, he looked at it a full
minute. Then he looked at his of
ficer and-"That's it. That's what
I've been looking for all the time

SAYS SUGAR famine
DUE TO PROHIBITION
POISON SACcHARINE

The New York Wall Street Jour.
nal says:
Devious are the ways of political
expediency 1t having been decreed
by Washington that people must get
their internal lubricant from sugar
instead Of directly from alcohol, the
problem is to find the sugar
Instead of allowing the price of
sugar to advance when it must do
a double duty under prohibition,
the government holds down the
price; prosecutes anybody who would
put it in store; allows the outside
world to buy all the outside sugar
and vast quantities of the refined
from the United States; and then is
suddenly confronted with sugar
famine.
The sugar famine is due to pro-
hibition, government regulation and
high shipping rates by the shipping
board. But behold the wisdom of
Washington! You must not. get
sugar through the fruit of the vine;
there is not enough sugar to go
around and, therefore, the American
stomach must be poisoned by sac
charine. Under existing regulations,
saccharine cannot be used in man
ufactured food for interstate ship
ment on the ground that saccharine
has no food value
It's use has been forbidden in the
army because of its lad effect upon
the heart, the liver and the digestion.
But from Washington starts a cam
paign to put saccharine into the gro
cery stores of the country, modify
the law in relation to it's shipment in
interstate commerce and thus give
the families of the United States a
chemical substitute for a hundred
million pounds of sugar.
Wonderful are the discoveries of
chemistry More wonderful are polit-
ical Iexpedients But nothing won
Gerful has yet been found as sub
stitute for practical economies un.
der the law of supply and demand
nothing except poison substitutes
formerly the poison Of international
socialism and now the poison of the
chemists laboratory.

copper accumulations, many copper
dividends were further reduced, if not
passed entirely. In number Of
Instances, recent dividends have
been paid out of surplus.
The figures issued by the federal
trade commission this week, setting
forth that in 1918 Sc per cent of
the American refinery output of
$3.50, 100000 pounds was produced at
an average cost of slightly more
than 16 cents a pound, are Of un.
usual interest at this time. This
cost is easily so per cent higher
than the average cost in the years
preceding the war; and to the 1918
figure, of course, must be added the
item of war taxes, presumably not
included on the cost sheet. These
taxes, however, were materially re-
duced by repletion charges. Before
the war nobody ever heard Of a de-
pletion charge. 1t represents an al
lOWance Tor ore exhaustion.
In view of the fact that copper
production is. today not over Is per
cent of normal, the average cost is
probably not far from II cents a
pound A selling price of 21 IL cents
therefore can by no means produce
unfairly large profits.
But the copper consumer knows
the producer is up against stiff
problem, and that sooner or later
something must be done to break the
existing deadlock. Unless steps are
taken very soon to establish credits
under which exports of American
copper can be resumed in quantity,
it would seem as though further cur
tailment of American production
would become necessary.

OIL FIELDS OF
u. S. supply ALL
WORLD MARKETS

Much development work in the oil
sea-loading terminals are taken to in
dicate a more favorable situation
there. Standard Oil of New Jersey is
constructing two eight-inch pipe lines
from Chinampa to Mata Redonda, a
distance of twenty-five miles. The
company is building loading station
at Mata Redonda equipped with two
ten-inch lines extending 5000 feet,
with two sea-loading berths. The tank
farm at Mata Redonda terminal will
have twenty 55,OOO-tarrel tanks, max
ing a total capacity of 100000 bar
rels of oil.
An investigation of the Ranger oil
field in Texas shows that the large
wells have declined considerably in
production, many of them not produc-
ing oil at present. Among the most
prominent wells brought in in the last
year or so which show big decrease
in output are Texas Pacific Coal and
Oil company's No. 1 Norwood, which
had an initial flow of 1000 barrels a
day, and now produces only 1000 bar
rels. Prairie Oil and Gas company's
No. 1 Roper, brought in at 5000 bar
rels a day, is now flowing 700 barrels,
and the same companys Emma Ter
REL which flowed 5000 barrels day
when brought in, produces no oil at
present. Magnolia Petroleum COM
pany's No. T. w. Connellee, which
originally flowed 5000 barrels day,
is producing only 400 barrels day.
During the last twelve years min
eral oil exports from this country
have increased 1873 per cent, using a
comparison of August shipments this
year with those of 1907. In August
this year value of oil shipments
amounted to $26,594,89S, against s9,-
373,O70 in August, 1907 Shipments
are now 20 per cent greater in value
than in the period preceding the war,
as shown ty the value of exports in
August, compared with August, 1916,
when they were $22.2O3,1S2. The
growth of the oil export industry in
the last twelve years is in line with
the large increase in the use of oil all
over the world and with the fact that
this country has always supplied the
largest part of the worlds require
ments. The fact that the war has
brought about even more wide demand
for oil products abroad is shown by
the increase in exports in the last
three years.
Exports of mineral oil and kerosene
show big decrease for July this year
compared with June. Kerosene ex
ports amount. to 75,875,698 gallons
compared with 22,419,S97 gallons ir
the preceding month Exports of fue
oil total 40, 0,426,584 gallons, against Sc,
021, ,668 gallons in June; and lubricat
| ing oil exports declined from 25,074,
! 829 gallons in June to 17,109,994 gal
Ions in July. Gasoline shipments
showed small decrease, amounting
to 18,S73,546 gallons. Total exports O.
mineral oil, crude and refined, in Jul!
The Arizona copper camp., 1919-11-08

totaled 169,182,087 gallons, against
245,974,77O gallons in June and H.
506,922 gallons in May.
A year ago "gasless" Sundays were
in effect, because of the shortage of
gasoline supplies. The first Sunday
in September was the first "gasless"
one At the beginning of August, 1918,
there were 349,000,00O gallons of gaso-
line On hand Despite the big slump
in foreign demand, because of the end
of the war, which resulted in a large
accumulation of gasoline supplies in
this country during the early part of
this year, there were only 514,000,000
gallons of gasoline in stock at the be-
ginning of August this year. This in
crease of t,lt 168,OOO,00O gallons shows
the great domestic demand and also
indicates that the gasoline situation
is sound.

Speaking of treasures on earth,
squirrels lay up about 20 per cent
more nuts than they actually use.
This is contingency against the
long and particularly cold winter that
invariably comes, but with unknown
frequency.
1t is a good deal like tie insurance
companies allowing 20 per cent in
their actuary tables of mortality, this
being a factor of safety, to provide
for epidemics that come about ever
so often.
The unused part of a squirrels
hoard goes to waste, but in the case
of the insurance companies it is the
law in many states that the unused
portion of this 20 per cent contin,
gency fund be returned to the policy
holders-that is, if enough time
elapses between epidemics as not to
have it drawn upon.

THE KNOX RESOLUTION

n HE crying demand of the
W. day is for an early sign
ing of the peace treaty
and its ratification by the var
ious governments. Should the
Knox resolution be adopted by
the senate and be needed by
the conference there will be
endless delay.
Many of the knotty prob
lens before the Paris confer
ence have been solved by leav-
ing the disputed territory un-
der control of the League of
Nations. The terms imposed
on Germany are largely based
on the idea that the League of
Nations will be formed. Dis
armament for Germany is one
of the requirments in the terms
submitted to the enemy and the
League of Nations is to consti-
tute the authority to see that
this requirement is complied
with.
Now if under the Knox reso-
luton the covenant should be
separated from the treaty the
entire work of the conference
will have to be done over. All
the issues will have to be thre-
shed out again with conse-
quent delay and expense. The
disbanding of the army will be
checked and many reconstruc-
ton plans held up.
The Knox resolution is a bit
of reactionary work the coun-
try should not stand for.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1919-06-14
1T is A TASK WORTH
WHILE

~ T it estimated by men who
III are closely in touch with
the situation that not more
than 10 per cent of the irri-
gable land in the western part
of this country has been
brought under cultivation.
There are various reasons for
this condition. One of them is
lack of sufficient water at pre-
sent. There is need of greater
storage capacity. The carrying
out of the Mckay reservoir
scheme would go far towards
making matters right. 1t would
help the entire west end dis
trict and by developing lands
there be of benefit to the whole
country. The appropriation to
be made by congress is to be
reimbursable so the settlers are
not asking something for moth
ing.
If there is any way whereby
the government can be induced
to build the Mckay reservoir
that improvement should be
secured. Fortunately the chan !
ces look bright. There is 60
ing to be a heavy appropriation /
for reconstruction reclamation
and if this legislation passes it !
is within reason to expect that |
our project will be cared for.
In fact there are features in
connection with the local move
that make it one of the most
attractive projects the govern 4
ment will have on the list. The
committee is right in taking
steps to see that the subject is
kept to the front and the best
way to do this is to send
well informed man like E. P.
Dodd to Washington.
