MOVING THE CAPITAL TO PORTLAND.

Here are the state capital departments either in Port
land now process of removal there Fish and game
state highway commission insurance commissioner, in
dusria accident commission and commissioner of labor
OF course the dairy and food commission and probably
some other state departments have always been in Port
land
We know that we will be accused of Salem hog"
tendencies if we protest against the virtual removal of the
capital to Portland but want to go record op
posing the move fully as much as account of Southern
Oregon and Eastern Oregon as of Salem and the Will
lamette valley.
Portland is too large for the good of the state now
1t attracts virtually all the capital and all the industries
coming to Oregon and has fixed railroad freight rates
that few industries exist outside OF that city, Now it
is being planned to move the state capital piecemea to
Portland and thus make its dominance in state politics
and state legislation more complete than it is at the
present tme We think the representatives of the cou
ties outside Of Portland ought to unite against this scheme
Another thing ought to be thought of when Portland
reaches out and grabs an industry institution from
one Of her smaller neghbors The state at large cannot
prosper and develop unless it has prosperous growing
small cities The Willamette valley for instance might
become highly developed garden spot if Salem Albany
and Eugene grow into live prosperous cities, affording
markets for the products of the valley about them Port
land also would prosper in the long from the
tribute paid by larger surrounding towns than it does
now 1t is starving to death at the present time because
il is Oyergrown and has done nothing to develop the ter
ritory upon which it must rely for support.
Because everything in the state commercially and
politically should not be cenered in the big city, the
Capital journal makes its protest against the proposed
mova Of the various departments of the state govern
ment to Portland

VICTOR HUGo's PROPHECY
: X X X X y 4 X + II X X 4 X I,

In 1880 Victor Hugo, who was then
in Paris, wrote the following remarka-
bic words, which appeared in French
newspapers at that time and excited con
siderable comment. 1t was then not
thought likely that his vision would
in anv way be realized, at least, for a
long time to come, as it was then lot
SO many years after the Franco Prus-
sian war. In his usual masterful style
he wrote:
"Then France will suddenly arouse
herself. She will become formidable.
She will regain Alsace-Lorraine. Ia it
eno1gha No! No! She will capture
listen Treves, Mainz, Cologne, Coblenz
And ye shall hear France cry: The
clock strikes my hour. Germany, hear
ne! Am l thine enemy9 No. l am
thy sister. l have taken all from thee,
return all to thee upon one condition:
that we shall 10 longer be divided
people; that we shall be one united
FANNY, one republic. l will demolish
my fortresses thou thine-my vendetta
is brotherhood. No more frontier. Tho
Rhine, mine and thine.
'We shall be the liberty of Europe.
And now let us clasp hands, for we
have rendered each reciproeated ser
vice. Thou has freed me from my EN-
peror. l will free thee from thine"

Silverton, Or, Feb. l, 1919.
To the Editor:
In response TO the article by the
"Housekeeper" in Open Forum Jan.
20, the undersigned wishes to g1ve a
few figures to prove that the price Of
butterfst has only advanced about 40
per cent in taking an average of tho
last three years and the three years
previous. The last three years we re-
eeived an sverage of 43 cents pound
and thee years previous 80 cents which
would make an advance of about 40 per
cent.
Now in comparing 40 per cent ad-
-vAneement in the price of butter with
wheat about 100 per cent,h ogs about
.lc0 per cent and mutton over 100 per
cent, you win find that butter advanced
much less than most of the other things

1t is expected that any league of nations with teeth
in it, will have international army and navy at ts dis
posal for police purposes 1t is not likely however, that
the league will often have to resort to force to compel
obedience to it's mandates For most purposes economic
pressure will suffice.
The tentative federation already is in existence the
allied powers that will organize and control the league,
have already in their hands the bulk of the worlds raw
materials essential for industry or war.

prepare for another great She must get copper and
cotton in great quantities from America She must get
iron ore from Sweden and France She must get TIN from

easily discover the menace and shut off supplies The

According to the military police,
Phillips was arrested in Paris
