( "WHO'S US?"

The above is a question PROFOUND
ed to- us by the Miami Herald
From the standpoint of the 0caIa
Banner who's us?" are. those who
stand for the ratification of the lea
que Of nations.
Those who stand with those grave
and world renowned statesmen who
assembled around that peace table
at Versailles in an effort to put down
for all time the recurrence of wars
through an association known as the
league of nations.
Those who stand with the president
of the United States, who on his tour
of the west, has been given the title
of the worlds benefactor."
Those who stand with his cabinet
and those who are loyal to his adj
ministration.
1t embraces those republicans like
Taft, and Hughes and Root. and
Wickersham, and Eliot, and McCum-
Der. who prize country more than
party and are using their efforts to

who's Us" from the standpoint of
the Miami Herald?
We hesitate to say because we do
not want to appear as being rude or
discourteous
But if we were to quote from a
speech recently delivered by a demo-
crat in congress we might enumerate
number that might be displeasing
to our esteemed contemporary.
We shall venture, however, to say
that he mentioned the German militar-
lists and the unspeakable Turk and
the editors of those newspapers
whose publications had to be denied
transmission through the mails be-
cause their utterances were SO un-
patriotic and seditious.
We know of course there are hon
orable exceptions among those who
are antagonistic to this covenant and
among this number we include the
editor of the Miami Herald.
We think too much of him to see
him training with that bunch and we
want to see him come over on the
Lords side.

Saying a Few Words.

If you are called upon to say few
words after dinner or at meeting,
don't be backward. Get right up and
20 at it. The chances are that what
you say on such an occasion, without
preparation, will be of no Importance
and probably wouldn't have been of
Importance if it had been prepared
in advance, but that isn't the point.
The point is that the minds of your
hearers will be quite as blank and
amorphorous as your own, and conse-
quently the few who actually listen
to you will have no means of judging
whether what YOU say is rational or
not. The majority, out of politeness,
will assume that You did we'll, or if
they do not wish to commit them
selves too irretrievahly. they will say
you did we'll 'sunder the circumstan-
ces."
The whole secret in "saying few
words" lies in making it "few.' If
you go on and on, your audience will
not heed or remember thing you
said. They will only remember that
you talked long enough to bore them.
Short speeches never bore-Life.

UNJUST AND UNFAIR TAXATION.

There is proposal before the legislature to with
draw state aid from the state industrial accident commits
son This is expected to 100000 Of state money
but the burden of carrying the accident insurance is to
be loaded more heavily upon the industrial interests Saw
mill operators will not object to this plan and in other of
the hazardous occupations it will be accepted It
them the heavy expense Of casualty insurance and
many damage suits.
The new proposal, however, to include many nom
hazardous industries and make compulsory for them to
come in and contribute for the benefit of the hazard
occupations is papaby unjust Take the printing and
publishing business for instance because know just
what we talking about when discuss it. In
thirty years experience publisher have never had
an accident that required epoye to go to hos
pta for treatment to lose any time account of an
Injury. Other publishers will give similar testimony
Why then should newspapers and printing offices be
required to contribute to this fund when they will in
wise be benefited and when the employees of the print
ing industry do not wish to be assessed to provide bene
fits only for the workers in other trades? Printing and
publishing of the largest industries in the state
with millions invested and employing large number Of
people, 1t should not be within the power of the legsla
ture to tax such industry against its protest and with
out providing benefits compensation for the tr
butte levied.

Purvine for several days. While there
she received medical treatment from
DR.. Mary Purvine, and is much inn
proved in health.
A ten-pound daughter recently ar
rived at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.

Sheep raisors in this noighborhood
are becoming very discouraged In
spite of the need of wool and its high
price, one cannot afford to keep sheep
when dogs are constantly preying upon
the flocks. Please, Mr.. Legislator, do
something about it. We like to help out
the worlds need of wool, and we like
the nice checks to put in the bank, but
when the keeping of a flock is con-
stant source of loss one must quit the
business. The latest sufferer Of these
losses here is w. D. Henry, who has
recently lost a number Of fine sheep
and had others badly torn. He also
had the same trouble few years ago,
but stayed with it. Here's hoping the
sheep business viii not be entirely driv-
en- out Of the valley.
William Toner of Corvallis is ship
ping 6 car load of hay from his farm
here to Yaquina bay.

AGAINST HIGHER SALARIES


Editor Journal: Kindly allow me
space for few suggestions to the legis.
lature.
At the last state primaries there we.e
six republicans and one democrat run
ming for the judge Of the supreme court
All were anxious to get the job at
$500. Now the incumbents are clam.
oring for raise to $4,000. State school
superintendent also asks for raise.
County officers, surveyors, clerks and
all asking or trying to graft from the
already overburdened taxpayers.
Then comes the ten million road
bond that the most of the people will
favor, if they provide that these bonds
shall not be sold for less than face
value. Now if the continual raise of
salaries is not brought to halt the
people will initiate petitions for re-
adjustment of salaries for all state, dis
triet and county and school and college
presidents. And they will see that no
state officers shall receive larger sal
ary than $4,000 which is ten dollars a
day; and no county officer more than
$250O, and college presidents the samo
state officers. The judges of supreme
court shall not be increased and they
shall only receive $4,000.
Now, if they don't want the jobs,
get out and compete for jobs with the
soldier boys returning home; help build
roads, clear off cut over lands, drain
the swamps and make themselves usetul
more than ornamental.
Then steps will be taken to abolish
one branch of the legislature and re-
duce the other branch not to exceed
two members from any county; and to
be elected for four years and meet
only every four years, and then sessions
not to exceed 60 days st five dollars a
day, and clerks shall be one for every
county only with Imprisonment of one
to five years for any violation of the
same.
The people elected representatives to
represent their interests, not to go as
salary raisers or to create more jobs or
commissions with clerks and stenogra-
pliers and office helpers The great
strikes in the shipyards and elsewhere
are largely caused by the dissatisfsc-
tion of labor because of high salaries
of men who sit in offices on easy chairs
furnished with all comforts gnd luxur-
les of an easy time, and strikes will
continue until there is an adjustment
of wages commensurate with useful Ia
