No definite decision has been

Baloting is expected to begin

San Francisco June 29.--In a
speech this afternoon accepting the
permanent Craftsmanship of the dem
ocratic national convention, Senator
Joseph r. Robinson of Arkansas Wig
orously assalled the republican plat
form, declaring that it was an amaz
ing tumble of antiquities, nconsis-
tencies, evasions, misrepresentation
straddles and SANDERS.
He declared that the republicans
were frank in only one thing and that
was in singing hymn of hate for
the president of the United States.
Says Platform Unfair.
He stated that the G. 0. r. plat.
form was deliberately unfair in
charging the democratic administra,
tion with being responsible for mill
tary unpreparedness. With regard
TO the republican claim that theirs
was a policy OF economy, Robinson,
stated that the appropriation author
lied for the coming year exceeded by
Il billion dollars the amount appro-
prlated by the democrats in 1916.
He said that the republican plank
concerning profiteering was big
joker and that the republican con
gress had enacted no laws against
the profiteer.
Should Deal Frankly.
Senator Robinson declared that II
the democratic resolutions commit
tee brought in a report like the re-
publican convention received from
its committee. the democratic con
venton would reject il and demand
that the committee deal frankly with
every issue.
Referring to the League of Nations
he declared that Article 10 does not
impair the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States but contemplates the exer
else of that sovereignty to preserve
peace. ne Sdiu tlidt lHS uClCS"lOo
to the convention should do their du-
ty the same as the soldiers did theirs
rnd that the voters would approve
the league.
The speaker concluded by stating
that never before has political
battle been waged in the cause of
international justice, humanity and
peace The opposition has taken
the low ground. Let the democratic
party occupy the heights.
Never again will any great po.
litical party in America openly

going 10. Oklahoma City and back.
He expressed great sympathy for
his numerous agricultural friends of
the Taft neighborhood, who had
not exercised the same wisdom he
had. His wheat has all been thrcSh-
ed and put away and this he had
had the foresight to look after be

Prof. Johnson made his annual re

The professor reports that during
the present summer he will finish
the erection and installation of an
ice plant at the State institution AT
Taft This addition 10 the equip
ment of the Blind School will not
only be beneficial to the school but
to the Taft vicinity as well. Prof.
Johnson was in Tulsa Friday en-

THE NEW SOCIETY

The new society, organized last week
to commemorate past incidents Of in
congruous veracity and to perpetuate
the science and practice of this attri-
butte of humankind. has already been
Of benefit. Laughter, the uncontrol-
able kind that bubbles up from the
stomach and shakes you all over, the
kind that causes men to make noises
queerer than any freak of the animal
kingdom ever emitted, is fine thing.
1t aids digestion. 1t takes out the
squeaks and creaks from that intang-
ible spiritual embodiment that is some
where surrounding or encompassed by
what is mortal of us. Like oils and
fats good laughs are needed to lubri-
cate our stomachs and other physical
parts Of us, laughter smoohts our
thinking apparatus and makes US voice
less grating words.
Those who attended the session of
the new society Friday night laughed
real laughs They welled up and bub-
bled over. 1t was good for everybody.
5. Benaon, who is getting to be a kind
of Hood River citizen, was with us.
He was celebrating his 6Slh birthday.
We didn't know it at the time, or we
might have given him some kind e a
belt. lie rosred Just like all the others
present He's young old man all the
time, but we wager that the good
laughs hc had Friday night made him

LET'S PREVENT MINORITY RULE

Another revolutionary measure is to
be presented to the people Of Oregon
at the election this fall, which if passed
will more than do its part IN disrupting
financial conditions in our state.
The measure is to reduce the interest
rate to a maximum Of five per cent as
the legal limit in this state.
The mere fact that this bill is on the
ballot will be sufficient to discourage
considerable investment in Oregon.
If it passes, it will, of course, have to
be repealed, but in the meantime dam
age will have been done that will take
many years to overcome.
Time and again there has been at
tempted measures which would legis-
late the rate of interest to point low
er than what the use of money is
worth. Legislation of this effect is al
ways found to be an extra burden to
the borrower whom it was aimed to
benefit. If the legal rate of interest
is reduced to five per cent the borrower
will be obliged to pay usurious rates
to get money in violation of the law.
Money that is worth seven per cent
and eight per cent will not be loaned
at five per cent regardless of what the
law may say is the legal limit, and if
the borrower wants TO borrow money
on the character of loans that demand
seven per cent and eight per cent, he
will either have to violate the law or
go without the required capital.
Let it be remembered that 18 per |
cent of the registered voters of the
state have actually voted measures in
to our constitution and you will see
how necessary it is for you to bestir
yourself and point out the evils of such
law as this five per cent measure to
all voters with whom you have any in
fluence.
The very fact that everyone is desir-
GUS of borrowing money as cheaply as
possible when the occasion arises for
borrowing, makes this bill seem very
attractive on its face, but when it is
understood that Oregon will pay very
high price in the loss of investment
capital of almost. every kind should this
measure become a law. one can easily

The dwindling Of tonnage on the
river lines can be traced to the incon-
venience of getting to and from the
present boat landings. If Hood River
had proper wharfage facilities the
business would be much greater. We
wonder how many folk have ever rid
den up and down the Columbia on a
steamboat. 1t is a journey that should
some time be taken,. If the landing
place were of easy access everybody
would probably take the trip.
