1 Briefly stated, this bill provides for
$1,000 tax on manufacturers, 800 for re-
tailers, and g. correspondingly high Ii

its kindred substitutes, quite ex-

in place of butter. The tax of $1,000 ON
small groceries, would make handling
Of this class of produce almost prohib-
itory. This bill, which is now with the
committee, has been amended by the
house, and we arc watching with inter

comes to the final vote.
If this bill becomes law, it puts
Oregon on record as trust maker. Eli
ther competition is right, as principle
applied to trade, or it is wrong. 1t is
most generally accepted as right, and
il that case the writer takes rpe stand
that any industry regardless Of name or
mature that can not meet it's competit-
/ ors on the open market, an industry
that cannot stand on it s own legs with
out having to be propped up by a piece
of infamous legislation, is not worthy
Of public support.
| Why not tax all retailers for handling
snelt, and other fish that interfere with
the great salmon industry of our state.
Why not place 8 heavy tax on all new
industries, because they interfere with
the price and profits of industries al
ready established. If the principle ap-
piled is not the same, | challenge any
one to explain the difference. So far,
the dairy industry has suffered very
little on account of these substitutes, as
the price of butter seems to hold well,
and the price of milk is still $425 per
quart.
No doubt many people who now use
the substitutes, will use butter when the
price thereof assumes normal proper
tons. These men in the legislature whs
are shedding crocodile tears over the
dairy interests, are only playing the

THE EXEMPTED ALIENS.

Many people in the state of Washington are urging
the deportation of all alien residents of militant age who
claimed exemption from service during the war; Wash
ngton citizens feel especially esentfu against aliens in
general because of the labor troubles they have caused in
that state But there is much feeling Of the same sort
elsewhere, and it must be admitted much provocation
for it.
The most widespread source Of provocation is the
fact that as the citizens who went off to fight for their
country return home, in only too many cases they find
those shrng aliens snugy in possession OF their jobs
There were a great many OF those exempted men
who refused to join the army or navy. The United
States was good enough for them to emgrate to- and
make living in, but not good enough to fight for The
boys who went to the front in their stead did so, for the
most part willingly enough because they were Americans,
and loved their country But does jar those same boys
when they come back to find the aliens reapng the bene
fit.
1t will hardly be granted, though, that the aliens in
question necessarily deserve deportation They have not
broken laws; they have merely taken advantage OF
them in spirit of narrow and grasping selfshness. 1t
might be called un-Amercan to kick them out for that
But surely they do not deserve the jobs the lads who
went and fought for them much their own people
need those jobs.
It would be right to establish the rule everywhere
that when the Homecoming soldier needs job that is
held by an alien who refused military duty that alien
shall step out and go on the waiting list.
