Government Not to
Build Railroads Now

It is not the intention Of the rail
road administration to make an ex
tension of lines for the present, ac'
cording to telegram received in
Portland by the Chamber of Com
merce from Senator McNary at Wash.
ington.
The senator advised that he had
been informed by the director gen.
eral OF railroads that $4,000, 900
had been borrowed for operation
purposes, and other securities al
lowed to be used for basis of cred
ii. Only such ties and rail material
will be purchased as may be neces-
sary for the safe operation Of the
lines. Railroads will be permitted
to make extensions and betterments
subject to the approval of the direc-
tor general If sale is found for bonds
to finance such operations.
Oregon timber men and lumber
manufacturers are much interested,
especially in the cause Of Senator
McNary's telegram relating to the
purchase of ties. It is estimated by
the forest service that Oregon and
Washington mills cut 327,000,000
feet, board measure, during 1918,
into railroad ties. This is estimated
by railroad men as representing
probably 12 per cent of the total Of
ties normally required in the United
States annually. But It is said that
during the past IS months the nor
NAL number OF replacements have not
been made, and the actual need OF
the railroads is therefore much great
er than usual. But how long the re-
placement can be deferred is a mat
ter of doubt.
The Chamber of Commerce here
is exerting every effort to aid the
producers to find market that will
keep the mills in operation and pro-
vide employment for loggers and
lumbermen. Further developments
are expected by the lumbermen thru
the efforts of their representative,
who will 60 to Washington soon.

NURSES NOTE
SHOWS THE GRIT
THAT WON WAR
Sorely Wounded Soldier Sees
r/ the Job Through.

Carter Glass, secretary OF the
treasury, copied the following note,
among others, from the note book Of
a Red Cross nurse when he was in
France:
"One boy I shall always remember.
His right shoulder was practically
all shot away and he had big
wound in his back and one In his left
eye. But he sat straight up and
wouldn't let anybody help him. He
didn't say word while they pulled
of the tight clingfng gauze from
the red, raw, wet flesh that quiv-
cred In spite of him When the nrst
wound was finished all he said was:
"Do you think I could rest a MIN

that when you are asked to buy Of the
Victory Liberty Loan, ye who think ye
have done enough.

WHOSE WAR WAS IT?

Was It Smith, the bankers war OF
Jones, the truckman's war? Was It
Labor's war or was 1t Capitals war,
Was It Autocracy's war OF was It Lib
erty's war? Whose war was It?
Figure II out. Then sacrifice every
thing and subscribe to the Victory Lib
erty Loan. For It was The Peoples
War.
It isn't paid for. It must be paid
for. The Victory Liberty Loan WIN
pay for 1t. The people must buy
because 1t was their war. The people
are Smith and Jones, Labor and Capt.
tai.
II It wasn't the Peoples war, II
wasn't anybody's war. So don't say
"let the banks do IT," 1t was not the
banks war. You might as well say II
was Jones' war-let Jones buy the Vic
tory Loan. He would have as much
chance to subscribe five or six billion
as Smith would.
The man who says '1et the banks
do It." is yellow. There are about
1,O0O,000 American lads over In Europe
who are sticking 1t through. They are
not saying let somebody else do 1t.
It's the last loan. Play square.

POOR FINANCE
TO LET BANKS
TAKE V..LOAN.
Dy NJ. 8. WIldman, Head Of the
. Department Of Economics and
Political Science at Stanford
,f3 i'e University, California.

:, Just about two years ago we began
to make war and stopped making o
lot Of other things or made these
other things only in limited supply.
Railway construction came to dead
stop. Equipment was worn out faster
than 1t was replaced. All over the
country building operations were sus
pended. In the North Atlantic states
alene the deficiency in building Is
estimated by the Department OF Labor
to exceed s5OO,OO0, 1000. II the situation
all over the country Is comparable to
this, the accumulated need for con-
struotion now exceeds two billion dol
lars. Through wide range OF manu-
factures from automobiles to chewing
gum curtailment was the order Of the
day until now we face a deficiency
in numberless commodities OF custom
ary use.
The emergency which led to curtail.
ment is happily past. The interest
of all classes of people requires the
quickest possible resumption of normal
activity. Consumers want the goods,
returning soldiers need the employ
ment. The heavy war taxes call
for correspondingly large production,
while European reconstruction will
open the way for exports.
This resumption Of enterprise, II we
embark upon It as we should, will
require bank loans on q tremendous
scale. The high wages and high cost
OF materials will necessitate advances
proportionately greater than in the
past To be available for this purpose,
the funds OF the banks must not be
absorbed by government requirements.
The necessity for wide public partici-
patton in the Victory Liberty loan is
even greater than 1t was in the case
OF earlier loans when curtailment Of
industry diminished the needs OF pri-
vate business.
II the banks are compelled to carry
the government, they cannot at the
same time carry their customers. For
every billion dollars worth of bonds
left on the hands Of the banks there
will be Just billion less for the re-
vival OF industry and the employment
Of labor.
It is to the personal interest Of every
man and woman in America to sub.
scribe to the Victory Liberty loan out
Of his or her savings.

CRAZY LAWS FOR CRAZY MEN.

In the severity Of its provisions the new
sedition bill introduced by Senator King
goes far beyond anything ever before
dreamed of as necessary for the protection
of the government.
It is the fruit Of six months labor by
Senate subcommittee that has secured the
whole field in the search fer evidence Of
alien propaganda and un-American actiVl-
ties. It appears to be based, not merely on
facts that may have been discovered, but
on fears that may have been excited IN the
minds of senators in the course OF their
rambling investigation.
IF the present laws against crime are in
adequate they should be strengthened. But
the time has not come when the American
people will willingly assent to the retrench-
ment of the rights of free speech and law
full discussion. Briefly, what is needed IS
an effective way to deal with crimes d.
rected against the government. For ma
tional safety, it is not necessary to magnl-
fly into crimes all the reckless words, spok-
en- and written, or irresponsible agltatOrs
hunting notorlety.
Persons who preach the overthrow OF
the government by force, who advocate
violence and teach armed revolution, must
be dealt with as individuals. There can be
no sweeping prohibition by statute or ut
terances that may sound offensive to many
ears merely because they are novel or radi-
cal to an alarming degree.
In it's desire to erect new barriers
against the forces of disorder the Senate
committee has gone the limit For instance,
it groups persons who use scurrilous or
abusive language about the form of the
government with those who advocate as
sassination of public officials and destruc-
ton Of public properties and prescribes. the
same penalties.
Even if such laws we're to be enacted,
they could not be enforced in the courts
where reason and justice still prevail.

"HONOR, DUTY, COUNTRY"

Coded forms change; the first princi-
Piles for soldierly conduct are immutable.
That, in other words, is what Lieutenant
General Bullard told the West Point grad
uates of 1919, in that part Of his address
devoted to regulations and the man.
When he became an officer, the general
said he learned the regulations by heart.
Then the powers repealed and revised
them. The same thing happened again
and again Finally, he threw the book over
and fixed his code in three words: Honor,
Duty, Country.
"They fit in everything," said the gen.
eral, commencing these words to the ca
diets. and he added:
II have never got into trouble by not
knowing the regulations"
Three words which can thus substitute
for whole set of rules have to be Of fine
significance. But the finest thing, after
ALL about the terms cited at West Point,
is that they do not cease to do their bit
when they are taken out of a military ap-
plication. If they give to the soldier that
necessary of his calling, something staple
and steadfast to stand by, they offer not
less to the civilian, whether in private or
in public life. They do, indeed, Eft in
everything" We can fancy statesman
with the real worth and dignity of his trust
upon him preferring honor, duty and coun-
try to considerations of party, place and
selfish power
Militarism qualified by General -Bul-
lard's terms confirms itself as a mainstay,
not menace to the land On lines of hon
or duty and county armies of soldiers and
civilians merge into one mighty host of
hight -princfpled citizenship. The West
Pointers who listened to this years COM
mencement speaker could have heard no
where more soldierly upholding of citi-
zenly ideals.

| III. An Organization For Future Needs.
In the light of what has existed and
what has been done SO far there appear
several reasons why something definite
must be organized which viii promote
the health OF the community. Let us
enumerate these:
(a) 1t is the sign OF progress to so or

the part OF those la authority for those
who elect them.
(c) When a town becomes a city stricter
regulation of individual action becomes
necessary.
You have had It demonstr ated to you
that sanitation pays.
The people who have borne the cost
and trouble of certain improvements will
| now demand protection by a definite re-
sponsible organization.
The center and driving force of your
needed organization will be a A,alth of
ficer in the shape of a man VINO knows
what to do and how and when to do IL.
He should be the sanitary expert" on
whom you depend for advice on
all civic affairs into which the question
OF health enters. This means that he
will need to give all his time to the at.
fairs of his department. You may think
that such a person cannot be found. Cree

Ids" have been discovered. Bad eyes are
much too prevalent. and present serious
problem.
A follow-up system conducted by WIS.,
iting nurses is the logical sequence to all
this work. Allusion is made all too fire.
quently now to the fact that "once upon
a time medical Inspections were made
but nothing came of 1t. Support from all
quarters would be more hearty II more
permanent efforts were assured. Conf
dence must be restored.
The reporting of contagious diseases by
the physicians Is being more definitely ar
ranged. The state ,lAv did require each
case to be reported to Jacksonville head
quarters Recently it has been changed
SO that il some one responsible locally
win collect these morbidity reports and
then transmit them on it will be satis-
factory. Here again is shown the need
for a full functioning department. Col
lection of facts about cases means so
much locally in handling contagion while
there is yet time. 1t also gives a clos sr
touch to those reporting. and will help
to make returns more thorough and ac-
curate.
In many ways then progress along pub
lie health lines has been made. 1t is more
apparent to those active in the work. Still
it is evident to anyone who thinks and
looks. To have the majority of the people
know these things and to act intelligent
~ in conjunction to further matters would
