The liquor interests are working
day and night to commit suicide on
the Democratic or Republican par
ties, especially the Democratic party.
II the Convention of the Republic
can Party at Chicago or the Conven-
ton of the Democratic Party at San
Francisco adopts light wine and
beer plank, or gives any comfort
whatever to the brewers and the
wine-makers, that party will not only
march through a slaughter house to
an open grave in this campaign, but
will make its name Kissing and
by-word for fifty years to come. Any
belief that the Churches and the de-
cent citizenship of this country will
timidly stand back and do nothing in
the face of such an insult and injury
will prove a monstrous delusion.
Any candidate who advocates Eight
wine and beer" or who stands on
platform supported by brewers dol
lars will find himself the target OF
every weapon from rife to howitzer
possessed by the patriotic, un-hy-
phenated people of this country.

In the preliminary skirmishes"
of the threatened industrial war
''big business" has beaten its rival,
the trades unions, DR.. Royal Meeker,
commissioner of labor statistics of
the Department of Labor, declared in
an address on the cost OF living, in
which he urged cooperation as the
most promising defensive weapon of
the people in the struggle against
high prices.
by a carefully planned and law
ishly financed campaign of misrep-
resentation," DR.. Meeker declared,
"big business has succeeded in mag
nifying the defects and obscuring or
discrediting the benefits of publicly
controlled and managed enterprises.
The people have been bamboozled
into relinquishing all effective con-
troll over distribution and prices of
food and fuel and they have been
made to appear to clamor for the
return of private management of the
railroads, the telegraph and tele-
phone lines and the radio stations.
Congress instead of formulating a
progressive, constructive program to
restore industries and especially
agriculture to stable peace-time
condition is pursuing the policy OF
'scuttle with most unhappy re-
Suits
Contrary to the popular belief, DR..
Meeker said. profiteering was the re-
suit and not the cause of high prices.
Increase of prices, he stated was to
be attributed to two causes
doubling of the quantity of currency
and decrease in the quantity of
goods; the profteer was the result
OF these conditions.

The Hidden Spring.

Behind every deliberate act is al
conscious motive. This is especially
true of political action.
The rejection of the peace treaty
with it's resultant weakening IF the
League of Nations, is the most vital
topic in the world today, and espe-
cially vital to our own Nation, ana
only as we are able to determine the
hidden motive will the action of the
Senate Committee on Foreign Re-
lations and that of the Republican
majority in the Senate and the Sup
port given to them by the Kerubii-
can National Committee be cleared
up and the country at large have pos
session of the facts that they may.
judge the issue fairly, because the
issue has now been passed up to the
people for decision.
Article x of the League of Nations
and the other articles intended to aid
in the enforcement of that article
have been the points of attack. The
reasons given by the enemies, taken
singly or collectively, are not SUFFICE
emit to explain the bitterness or the
persistency of those attacks. There
must be hidden motive.
BY the process of exclusion, we are
justified in the belief that the hidden
motive is vitality connected with the
financial interests which are exploit
ing the natural resources Of the more
backward nations, especially of Mex
leo and the South American repub-
lies. This belief is warranted by the
fact that the bitterest enemies of
Article X are also the strongest sup
porters of armed Intervention in
Mexico.
These interests know that should
the League of Nations be perfected,
the exploitation of Mexico must for
ever cease. Consequently they are
fighting Article x to the bitter end,
not because they fear that soldiers
from the United States may some
time be called to defend some Baik-
an state from invasion, but because.
with the League of Nations in full
force, the soldiers of Great Britain,
of France. of Italy, of Japan anG all
other members of the League will
stand as a bar to armed intervention
by the United States of America in
Mexico.
The Republican National machine
has for years had the support of the
corporate wealth of the United
States and that branch of the ma
chine known as the "Millionaires'
Club" of Washington, d. c., is run
ming true to form in their antagon-
ism to the League of Nations and
especially against Article x of the
League covenant.
This is the hidden motive and ex-
plains many things that are inexpli-
cable when considered by any other
motives. We are properly judged,
not by what we do, but by what we
plan to do.

Commenting on the absurd and i

Commenting on the absurd and in
adequate laws against rent profiteer-
ing passed by the New York legisla-
ture, the New York Times remarks:
New building, and that alone, can
bring ultimate relief to the COM
munity as whole"
That hits the nail on the head
But if new buildings are desirable
why tax men for building? Why not
exempt all improvements? And why
not tax the vacant lot owner suffici-
emily to force him either to put his
land to its best use or let some one
else do so?

Senator Smoot promises that the
next administration will substitute
q tax on retail sales for the excess
profit tax. Thus history repeats it
self. Once more a new admlnistra-
ton promises to substitute for a
scourge with whips scourge with
scorpions. The excess profits tax has
fallen only partly on consumers.
Some of it does fall on other
shoulders. But the tax on sales will
fall entirely on the consumer. How
much more of an increase of the, high
cost of living does Senator Smoot
think the consumer can stand?

Buy bottle of Chamberlain's

leaving home. AS rule it cannot
be obtained when on a hunting, fish
ing or prospecting trip. Neither can
it be obtained while on board the

and places it is most likely to be
needed. The safe way is to have it
with you.

SPRAY TALKS
Bv vLeroy Childs

Development Of the fruit buds at the
present time indicates that the pink
spray for the control of scab should be
applied from the first to the middle Of
next week in most sections Of the low.
er valley. To get the best results
from the application Of lime sulphur
the fruit buds should he allowed to
separate in the clusters before the
spray is applied. IN so doing it is pos
sible 10 entirely cover the newly formed
apple with spray and complete protec-
tion from scsb infection can be oh
tained. If these fruit buds have not
separated only portion Of the newly
formed apple can be covered at this
time.
II we are TO continue 90 keep our
orchards free from scsb, as has been
the rule during the past two years,
more interest in spraying must lie
shown on the part Of many growers.
A little neglect will allow scab to get
a good start and then we will have
another fight on our hands t9 get rid Of
the disease. This is ST extremely inn
poitant spray and every oTC hard iB the
valley should received the application.

"Derror's Improved Tree Fluid, I"

and ailments Of orchard trees. The
preparation. following extravagant
claims Of sellers, has been purchased

secticide and fungicide board, which
indicates that the sale of the mis-
branded article has been national in
scope. According 70 the records of
the board, Jennie Derror and Mary

trict Of Ohio, were fined SIS each on

The committee in charge Of the Sal

palgn has adopted a unique scheme.
Because of the busy season for orch.
ardlsts, the committee decided to elm
mate the customary personal canvass
OF prospective contributors, and instead
circular letters will be mailed to all.
Each letter will contain statement
setting forth the salient reasons of the
drive and to what purpose the funds
will be appropriated. Enclosed will be

assigned the recipient Of the letter,
and the only work necessary will be
aifixing the signature Self addressed,
stamped envelopes will return the con-
tributions to the treasurer of the cam
paign, S. J. Moore.
Although the drive will not begin
until Saturday and will continue for 10
days, funds are already reaching the
committee. The members of a small
road construction camp between here
and Mosier, on a minutes notice con-
tributed S55. They were willing to
make the donations heavier, but the
committee is only asking nominal sums
from each contributor.
bbN. OltOtl mas Wtll expressed tDc
sentiment Of Hood River county as
well as all Oregon in a proclamation
officially designating May l-l0 as the
time of the drive: He says:
''We are all familiar with the mag
nifcent services which the Salvation
Army gave during the late war. In a
general way we are familiar with the
work which that splendid organization
is doing at home among the downfallen
ard needy. The concrete results of
this great woik are not so we'll known
to our people, as the Army in thousands
of cases extends its helping hand
quietly and without ostentati0n. The
Salvation Army has entered field
which no other organization touches,
with untold results for good.
81 am certain the people of Oregon,
who have always responded literally
to worthy causes. will not be lax in
this respect. can conceive Of no more
worthy cause than genuine. whole
hearted and well planned organization
to give assistance where assistance is
actually needed"
