TURNING SOLDIERS.
81 am sure that it is not ueees-
sary for me 10 remind you that there
Is one immediate and very practical
question Of labor that we should meet
Ia the most liberal spirit. We must
see to IL that our returning soldiers
are assisted in every practicable way
to find the places for which they are
fittcd in the daily work of the coun-
try. THIS can be done by developing
and maintaining upon an adequate
scale the admirable organization ere
ated by the Department OF Labor for
placing men seeking work: aud it
can also he done, In ut least one very
great field, by creating new oppor-
tunities for individual enterprise. rhs
Secretary OF the Interior has pointed
out the way by which returning Hol-
diers may be helped TO find and tdko
up land in the hitherto undeveioped
regions OF the country which the Fed
eral Government has already pre-
pared or can readily prepare for cul-
Itivation and also on many of tho cut

and l once more take the liberty OF
recommending very urgently that hls
plans shall receive the Immediate and
substantial support OF the Congress.

Industrial enterprise in the immedi-
ate future. Unusual opportunities
Will presently present themselves 20
our merchants and producers in for

profitable investment will be opened

Of that that I am thinking; It Is not
chiefly OF that that am thinking.
Many great industries prostrated by
the war wait 90 be rehabilltated. In
many parts OF the world where what
will be lacking In not brains or will
ing hands or organizing capacity or
experienced skill, but machinery and
raw materials and capital. l believe
that our business men, our mer-
chants, our manufacturers and our
capitalists will have the vision to
see that prosperity In one part Of
the world ministers to prosperity
everywhere. That there is in n very
true sense a solidarity OF interest
throughout the world OF enterprise.
and that our dealings with the coun-
tries that have need OF our products
and our money win teach them to
deem us more than ever friends
whose whose necessities we seek in
the right way 20 serve.

HAVE THEIR
EYE ON THE TOURISTS

Oregon will act as host this sum-
mer to the National Editorial Asso-
citation as one of the results of the
activities OF the Pacific Northwest
Tourist association. This body Of
men and women is made up of the
brightest minds in the newspaper
world and the results that will accrue
from a publicity standpoint are be-
yond all computation. During the
past two years the tourist association
representing Oregon, Washington
and British Columbia has spent
$4,000 to attract tourists to the
Pacific Northwest and the results
have been far beyond expectations
when war conditions are taken into
consideration. That Oregon has re-
ceived the greater benefit over the
other commonwealths is evident in
the attendance at Crater Lake. There
are II national parks in the United
States and all but two showed a de-
crease in attendance except Crater
Lake and Rainier National Crater
Lake showed an increase Of between
25 to 40 per cent and nearly $4,000
people visited Rainier National while
all parts Of the Pacific Northwest
were included in the various phases
of publicity.
The total expenditure of the tour
lists and vacation seeker per annum
is not less than one billion dollars
and 1t is to secure our fair share of
this immense revenue that this asso-
citation exists.
It is safe to say that within very
short time the Pacific Northwest
and IT can be demonstrated by fig
ures-can derive from fifty to one
hundred million dollars of actual
cash from the encouragement OF this
travel. This cash remains in the Pa
cific Northwest. 1t is not sent out
for any raw material, nor for any
other commodity, but remains here
to help every individual citizen in
the development of his business, and
in the payment Of his taxes and the
tourist is absolutely the fore runner
Of the settler, the new investor and
the manufacturer.
Travel by rail was discouraged last
year and as far as going abroad Is
concerned there will be nothing do.

people have the money and desire
to travel. We have so far expended
$4,000, to attract attention to the
greatest asset we have and We only
need to keep up the work to secure
returns based on this expenditure
far beyond the desires OF the most
avaricious. To illustrate: The Park
to Park Highway association at re-
cent meeting in Spokane reported
10000 machines entering Spokane
over the Yellowstone highway with
an average OF four in machine.
Suppose these machines we're gath
cred together in Spokane In one day.
You know what 1t costs you to travel.
Take this amount and multiply It by
200 and look at the total and this
is the way this new money that costs
us practically nothing to get flows
in a steady stream into our lay.
House Bill rs calls for another ap-
propriation to cover the coming two
years, for the same amount asked
for two years ago and dependent up
on Washington and British Columbia
following with the same amount
they gave previously. No appropria-
tion has secured more for Oregon or
been better administered. The work
is under the constant attention OF
some of our leading business men
who give their time free Of charge
and pay their own expenses when
ATTENDING the meetings OF the board
OF directors.
The state revenues are used to de-
velop every other asset, either by
maintaining departments. enforce
ment of laws, maintaining institu-
tions, and the building OF roads and
bridges and the simplest way to In
crease these revenues is by deyel-
lopment more potent than any that
has gone before which will result in
the coming here Of thousands OF men
and women, who will see us, as we
are and who will in large measure
either remain permanently or leave
their money for investments.

BACK PAY FOR WHAT?

The Eugene Guard, good old
dyed-in-the WOOL democratic news
paper, hands the war department
this little package:
One hundred and thirteen con-
scientious objectors, liberated
through the big-heartedness of some
high official in the war department,
were recently given their freedom
from Leavenworth prison, given a
suit of clothes and walked away
with between s4OO and $500 in the
pockets of each.
Back pay for what? Back pay for
proving themselves slackers in the
time when the nations best men
were offering their lives for the flag
that meant home and liberty to
them? Back pay for the Streak OF
yellow" that permeated their sys-
tens and the Bolsheyism that di-
seased their brains?
On the surface it would look as
though the. war department were
placing premium on disloyalty and
opening path for these martyrs
of false creed to flaunt their
sneaking principles in the faces OF
the men who have answered the
call to arms and "get away with it,"
Far better that we should empty
the cells of our civil prisons, pre-
sent each and every convict with a
robe of purple and enthrone them
in public Office with unrestricted
control of public moneys in theil
hands. The effect would be far less
marked on the morale Of the nation
AS 1t is we feed them, clothe them
and present them with back pay
for defying the laws of the United
States and their sympathizers-
which are few-crown them witt
glory.
And yet, the pleas of fifty mil
lion people for a square deal for the
boys returning from "over there
are being put aside as though un
heard.
