MEMBERS ARE FULL OF GOOD
INTENTIONS, But NO ONE HAS
PROPER PLAN
SOLDIERS AND ROADS IN VIEW
Irrigation to Receive Consideration,
But Immediate Work for Return
ing Yanlxs Come First

State Capitol, Salem, Jan. 10
Schemes for the employment of re-
turned soldiers, involving at least
s20,000,000 are now in sight in the
Legislature. Various tentative ideas
are being advanced, but yet no one
has real solution.
In the Oregon legislature there
are 80 members, each one sitting
back and waiting for one Of the 9TH
er SO to appear as a Moses. The
member who produces a practical So
luton to the problem of finding en-
ployment for the returned soldiers
and for the civilians who will be re-
placed by the ex-soldiers VIII have
no trouble in securing enthusiastic
support. 1t is generally recognized
in senate and house that the one big
piece of legislation which must be
adopted is a program which viii
provide employment Tor the return
ing soldiers at good wages.
Suggestions thus far fall under
these heads: Road construction;
2-Public buildings; 3-Irrigation
development; Clearing logged-oft
lands; 5-Consolidation of Portland
Dock Commission and Port of Port
land.
Possibly all of these suggestions
will be adopted and interviewer into
a reconstruction program. Now as
to the finances. There may be $9,-
100000 for roads, financed by
bond issue cared for by motor We
hicle license fees; s5.000,000 for ir-
rigation development; s5.000,000
for consolidation Of the Port and
Dock Commissions; s250,000, ap-
proximately, for public buildings.
and no one can estimate what the
logged-off lands would require.
The five groups indicated are
merely the high points which have
come to the surface already. Each
one is calculated to give employment
to many people. There will very
probably be dozen or score Of
other suggestions brought forward
within the next four or five weeks.
On two facts the lawmakers are
unanimously agreed. The first is
that they are prepared to go to al
most any length to create employ
ment for the returning soldiers. The
second fact on which there is unani-
nifty is that no one has advanced a
good, general policy. No legislature
was ever more filled with good In
tentions. The members will do the
right thing II some one will show
them how Suggestions are now in
order, but they should be workable.
Il am at loss to advance the
right idea," said Speaker Jones.
There are number of represen-
tatives who have thought deeply, but
they are apparently as much at sea
as the Others"
Both houses have agreed on a
joint committee to work out a pro-
gram of consolidation of the state
offices and handle all consolidation
legislation.

Anticipated Garments
Appearing in London;
Wearers Very Proud

London.-Those garments which
friend wife had before she was
married -implying shortage of pur-
chases since-shrink to morning
after paleness before the revelation
of age-old garments which have de-
scended upon London town.
First, a man broke proudly into
print with a straw hat that had done
service for 81 years. A 27-year-old
straw in England would be 50 years
old in the western world. Straw
hats peep forth before Easter here
and are frequently visibl right up
to corn fusking time.
But a government emp1oye wears
hat that is 81 years old, a beaver
hat which was handed down to the
present wearer by his grandfather,
1t is said to look all its age.
A third proud gentleman writes of
an overcoat which has been worn
in inclement months for more than
90 years land still looks newer and
fresher than other coats made many
years later" There are many in
clement months in England, SO the
coat must have been much worn.
1t was made in 1851 for an officer,
whose valet received it after the
master had had 10 years good wear
out of it. The owner is proudest
when he dons it with feet shod IN a

H.C.L. GREATLY
REDUCED BY USE
OF MOTOR TRUCK
Food Administration Officials
Assert Much Food Wasted
Because of Lack of
Transportation.

Food administration officials as
founded the thinking world de-
clares r. H. Spear, president of the
All-American Truck company, Chi
cago, when they announced that
last year, even with the practice of
conservation, half of the perishable
produce of this country rotted on
the ground because of the lack of
transportation facilities. Waste
such as this would be unheard of
in Europe; it would spell national
disaster.
THAT this should be true seems
remarkable on first thought, when
it is known that this country has
approximately two miles of railroad
for every three in the remainder of
the world and 100000 motor We
hicles as against about one-twelfth
as many in all other countries COM
bined. Railroads and waterways,
however, might as we'll not exist,
so far as the farmer five or ten miles
away from them is concerned, un-
less he is able to advantage ously
haul his produce over that mileage
to the nearest shipping point or
consumer.
Motor trucks are partial solu-
ton of the problem, but they are
not enough. To use them to ad-
vantage requires good roads over
which the farmer can quickly move
his produce to the nearest shipping
point or to the consumer. Slightly
less than 100000 miles of our $780,
000-mile highway system in the
United States have received any at
tention whatever in the way of inn
provement and these 100000 miles
are scattered over 4S states in
loose and utterly ineffective way so
that use for interstate transporta-
ton is almost negligible.
"This year will see the greatest
crop production in the history of
this country. How much of it is to
be wasted because of inefficient
transportation facilities? That which
is marketed must carry, in addition
to its value, the value of that which
is wasted. The consumer pays
pays more than he should, but he
will have to continue to pay until
Americas annual mud tax is cut to
the minimum.

ments and the system is being ex-
tended. For instance, the building
trades council and the contractors
are forming working agreement to
the end that all structural work and
housebuilding shall go forward with
out interruption"
Colonel Hotter is in charge of the
educational propaganda being con-
Quoted throughout the Northwest in
favor of the new plan.
Following the Seattle strike and
the interruption of ship building in
all the yards from San Diego to
Dillingham;, the inspiration came to
industrial leaders on the Pacific
coast to carry on an educational cam
paign for voluntary mediation of all
labor troubles" said Colonel Hofer
Propose to Educate Labor.
1--WE propose to educate labor and
capital and the general public to the
necessity of a better way of settling
their difficulties. In this, we are fol-
lowing in the wake of Great Britain
where q of the large industries have
gone under the system known as the
Whitley councils.
when the voluntary mediation
plan is fully established in the Co.
lumbia basin and it has been demon
strated that it is possible to carry
on industries without strikes or
lockouts, the plan is to be extended
to other western states.
conservative labor leaders are
taking up arbitration and concilia-
ton as the easiest way.
Colonel Hotter is spending several
weeks in the middle west and will
visit several cities in this part of
the country in the interest of the
mediation plan.
Il do not represent any closed
shop, nor any organization" he
said, "and the campaign which I am
conducting is not against organized
labor as we expect to work with or
ganized labor as far as we can get
if to take I'D the new idea"

Strikeless Commonwealth

The "strikeless commonwealth" is

ton is being born
The proposed plan is a modifica-
ton of the Whitley councils of
England in which all troubles be-
tween employers and employees are
meditated by shop representatives,
chosen by the workers and by the
employers representatives. Each
side pays its man and the two are
permanently on the job adjusting
every possible grievance. What
ever they agree upon is binding upon
both. If they cannot agree, the ques-
ton goes to district council which
had representa- ives from the entire
group of similar industries. This
council is formed by an equal num-
Der of representative of both the
employees and employers.
Plan Favored By Many.
with some notifications this plan
is being adopted and worked out in
the industries of the northwest"
says Colonel Hofer. For the Port
land district which is large ship

American Federation of Labor, two
state labor officials and a represent

In years gone past most Of the

motor cars have exhibited ter

However, due to war conditions
this year most of the makers failed
to get their exhibits over in time. In
fact. there were only two American

these being the Columbia Six.
