PAVING MATTERS TO ;.
BESETTLED MONDAY.
Help OF All Citizens Needed
to Get This Big Job
Done Now.

The matter of letting to contract the
paving of Louisa's streets has been
passed over until next Monday night,
when 1t is hoped satisfactory arr
rangement can be made and that work
Will start very soon.
Two contracting firms submitted
bids last Monday on the various kinds
OF paving specified in the advertise
ment These firms are Metzer &, o.
Hearn. of Covington, and Kelley
Brothers. of Portsmouth.
The council has not yet accepted any
OF the bids, but has made a counter
proposition. BY agreement OF all par
ties the question is left open until
Monday night.
The estimated cost of the work COM
plete with curbs, cutters, sewers, etc.,
vary from about Si76.SS9.00 to s245,-
10000. Brick is highest in cost. Tar
via is cheapest, but considered by
local authorities as undesirable for
this job. Kentucky Rock Asphalt is
but little higher than Tarvia, figuring
about s1S6,S49,OO. .
Terms Of Payment.
Considerable money can be saved by
paying for this work each month"; upon
estimates furnished by the city as to
the progress of the job. 1t is therefore
important to all who own abutting
property to pay this way if possible
When bonds are issued, they are lien
against each piece OF property, ac-
cording TO the number Of feet abutting.
pavement. These bonds are payable
by the property owners ten per cent
each year with interest. But there is
likely to be delays about issuing and
selling the bonds, and for this reason
II is a better plan for all citizens who
can do so to pay as the work progress
es and keep their property free. II
enough will agree to do this, the con-
tractor will sign up and begin at once
on the Job, without waiting to see how
the bond sale turns out. Otherwise
the contractors may not take the work
at ALL Let every citizen come to the
rescue and let's put this great enter
prise across.

various pieces of property SO that

"By what methods have the con-
Stunning countries worked for lower
prices?" asks the Spokesman Review
and then answers its own question
thus:
First, by combining their buying
operations to single official agency.
Second, by distributing their bear"
propaganda in this country. Some of
that propaganda was pretty raw"
For instance, on the very day when
those who were seeking a lower price
on the New York market were stress
ing the prospect of early offers of
wheat from Argentina, a press dis
patch from Buenos Aires, capital of
Argentina, brought the truth that
an immediate bread shortage was
threatened there, that mills were clos
ing down for lack of wheat, and that
a meeting Of millers voted to petition
the government to release 1850 tons
of wheat which it had bought several
months ago from agents of foreign
governments when it became apparent
that Argentina had oversold its small
surplus.
"Other intimations were that India
would sell freely, yet Broomhall, the
recognized British grain trade au-
thority, reported October 81 that it
was Officially stated that the mainn
wheat tracts in India have been with
out rain during October; that food
grains are poor in many provinces,
and it is expected that relief will be
necessary in the central provinces,
where conditions have been most un-
favorable.
"A third price-knocking influence
was importations of Canadian wheat
into this country. The federal trade
commission reported to President
Wilson that such imports during the
first IS days in October were greater
than in any corresponding period in
the last seven years.
by refusing to buy in Canada the
British purchasing agent can force
Canadian wheat onto the markets of
the United States, and thereby drive
down our price. Apparently this is
what happened.
With our complete lack of selling
organization or government aid we
became an easy mark for the foreign
manipulators. That is the plain fact
about the American wheat market of
1920"

Ito provide means for insuring farm
ers a reasonable profit on their crops
in all the years to come. OF all Amer
lean business men, the farmer is the
only one who has not voice in deter
mining what he is to receive for his
product And this year, when he
raised his crops with labor and ma
terials at extortionate prices only to
have the bottom drop out of the mar
ket, bring into sharp relief the abso-
lutte necessity of somehow altering the
present economic system which makes
possible the heavy losses which farm
ers must take this year.
How is the farmer to have voice
in determining the market price of his
products? Certainly socialism is not
the answer State and national pro-
lection, supervision and operation of in
dustry designed for the benefit of any
case is inherently wrong, contrary to
the best business principles that the
civilization has developed.
But there is one thing which can
and must be done. Even this year.
California orange and lemon growers
have not suffered. They didn't be-
cause they determined the price of
their oranges and lemons.
Wheat farmers, cotton farmers.
farmers who produce any crop, have
just as much right to determine what
they are to get for their products as
do the citrus fruit producers of Cali
fornia. Organization is little more
difficult because it covers a larger
field, but it can be done. 1t must be
done. And the time is not far distant
when some form of organization will
be perfected for exactly these pur-
poses. Harmonious economic and in
dustrial organization, not political, is
the urgent need of the farmer today.

Hitting the Farmer.

Lower prices are coming. But they
are coming from the wrong direction
While the east celebrates, the west
and south, the home of the producer,
suffers. Cotton. wheat, hay, potatoes,
liestock, these are the things that have
come down. And these are the things
that promote prosperity in the west
and the south.
Farmers are justly incensed over
the refusal of the federal reserve
board TO grant apeals from farmers
organizations for anextension of cred
II and more liberal discount rates to
permit farmers to either hold their
crops or to market them. But all the
indignant discussion has not brough,
noe whit nearer a solution Of the vex-
atious problem of financing American
farmers.
Something should be done, not alone
to aid producers in the present, but

has to stay out here on the ranch she
wants to be kept right up to the min
ute on something besides slang,

says the only really sensible late
popular song is the one that says
that God only knows where there
is place you can sit down and let
the rest of the world go by. So we
kids do our dingest with geometry,

ship trying to keep mas brain alive.

Ready to Gouge.

The blood hounds are baying and on
the job, waiting for the time to come
when they can dive head first into
the national pork barrel and extract
the sweetest meat therefrom. 1t
doesn't make bit of difference what
political party is in power. there will
always be that class who look upon
Uncle Sam and Uncle Sans treas
ury as splendid prortunity to grab
an easy living by some means or other.
On our desk this morning lies call
to the national rivers and harbors con-
gress which meets in Washington
early in December. Congress convenes
December 4. And the bloodhounds,
the wolves and the vultures will be
right there, Johnny-on-the-spot, on the
job.
In all American history there is
nothing quite comparable to the waste
of public money that has gone into
American rivers and harbors. Even
the war revealed nothing that was
worse. The war and its orgy of
spending was brief, rivers and harbors
have had their bottoms strews with
wasted gold for hundred years.
The Mississippi passed into history
as an artery of our transportation sys-
tenn long ago. The Erie canal repre-
sents wasted millions. Harbors have
been improved that have scarcely been
used. Once, not so many years, ago,
the pork barrel was gouged for funds
to deepen a stream in Texas to make
lit navigable. And at the same time
money was appropriated for a storage
reservoir to hold flood waters of the
spring for later release to give the
stream enough water in summer and
autumn to float vessels. Can you fea-
ture that?
To the west with its millions Of
acres waiting patiently for life-giving
water that reasonable aid from the
government would make self sustain
ing. Highly productive garden spots OF
the nation, this money. largely wasted
on idiotic schemes, is almost beyond
comprehension. The Republican party
had best begin its program of econo-
my by taking some Of the politics out
of its harbors and rivers appropria-
tions.

On the Wrong Train.

No denial would be too emphati
in asserting that the Caldwell bust
ness men, through the agency of tn
Commercial club, are not antagonist
to the proposal to construct an ex
tension of the Oregon Short Lin
from Homedale to the upper Gem dis
trict and seeing in that the one mean
of saving the Caldwell Traction com
pany line.
Caldwell and every farmer who's,
farm is contiguous to the Mcneil lin,
is anxious to have that road continu,
operation. But Caldwell does not ans
never did propose to put one ston,
in the way of the construction of tn,
Homedale extension to aid the legiti
mate efforts which are being made
to prevent disruption of the line al.
ready in existance and operating tc
the good of every person in the COM
munity it serves.
This week three representatives Of
the Claytonia district came to Cald-
we'll harboring the belief that the
Commercial club and The Tribune
were definitely aligned against the
interests of their particular commun-
ity. Two of them were quickly con-
WINGED that they were wrong and left
Caldwell with the message that ev-
erything which could be done to aid
in constructing the Homedale line
would be done.
Nothing could be more preposter-
Gus, however, than the proposition
made by Mr.. Ford, the third member
OF the committee, when he suggested
that the Caldwell Commercial club
would make friends by forsaking the
Caldwell Traction company problem
and devoting its entire efforts to aid
ing the upper Gem district in getting
its extension. Between Caldwell and
the river are many many farmers who
are vitality interested in the continued
operation of the Mcneil branch. Per-
haps Mr.. Ford didn't stop to think
how those people would feel if Cald-
well were to follow his suggestions.
And certainly Mr.. Ford didn't stop
to think that he was proposing ex-
actly the same thing, from a different
angle, that he came to Caldwell in
arms to criticize and prevent.
Probably the Homedale line will be
built and the Mcneil branch will con-
tinue operation. There is urgent need
for both. And it is upon this hypo-
thesis that all the communities can
and should unite.

The Roll Call

This year, just as during the war
the Red Cross is asking Individual
America to renew allegiance to this
greatest of all organizations OF
mercy. Perhaps some will be inclined
to think that the war is over, there
is no longer any necessity for contrib
uting to the work of the Red Cross.
But the Red Cross knew no armistice
the work that the Red Cross has done
and is doing did not stop with the
cessation of hostilities.
Perhaps never in history has there
been greater need for the relief work
than the Red Cross is doing But il
is not all work of mercy. For the
Red Cross is the thing which comes
closest to those of foreign lands who
are having their confidence in the
humanitarian intentions of this nation
rebuilt through its ministrations.
The need of generous contributions
= to relief was never greater than it is
right now. And of all the agencies
the Red Cross is the one best equipped
to do that work. The annual Roll
Call should find ready response
from your pocketbook. And, in pass.
ing, do not forget that one-half Of
every cent you subscribe will be de.
voted to home charity and aid re.
quirements.

What of Wheat?

Probably no question is of more
vital importance to the American
farmer than that relating to, the flu
ture prices of wheat. Today, farmers
face near bankruptcy as a result of
the rapid declines in market prices
of wheat when the crop was produced
at the utmost possible cost.
The American farm bureau feder-
alton predicts that wheat will again
go to s. or $3.50. An actual world
shortage. instead of the surplus hither-
to reported, exists. England is re-
ported to be preparing for an active
wheat buying campaign in the United
States. 1t was this report which
early in the week caused the flurries
in the wheat market.
Why, then, if the world has not
a surplus of wheat, has the price de-
clined to it's present level? Why have
not the laws of supply and demand
functioned as they should function,
since now it is admitted that there
is an actual shortage of this grain!
This is what actually has happened.
Organization far superior to that OPP.
erative in the United States gave
France and England an opportunity
to knock down prices. Shrewd team
work on the other side of the Atlantic
ocean and an utter lack of it here
has paved the way for a net loss of
every American producer of this
years crop of 10000. 900 bushels.
