Hon 1t Works
To Fix Prices For

In the voters pamphlet appears 9
negative argument by M. L. Jones ir
re the proposed constitutional amend
ment fixing. the legal rate of interest
to be charged within this state. Harken
Ito Mr.. Jones' ideas
IF the state of Oregon were to and
could establish schedule of retail
prices somewhat like the following:
: Potatoes (sack) .................5Oc
Eggs (dozen) ...........-..-.......12c .
Wheat (bushel) ...................70c +
what would happen?
Naturally, farmers would be ls-
sentful. They would ship to adjoining
states every bushel. of wheat every
sack of potatoes and every case of
eggs, SO as to obtain a fair price and
market price.
Money is commodity. The price
Of that commodity is known as interest
IF the people of the state Of Oregon
should pass this SO called constitution
al amendment, they would establish
the price to be obtained for the use "a
money in Oregon ass$4 per annum for
the use of each $100, or IS for that
use, as the case might be.
And it would not matter whether
that use was to finance a crop or was
on a mortgage. The price for money
would be fixed. But with the market
value of money-or the interest rate
far beyond that fixed rate, does any
one believe that those who lend should
not have the same right

| Chief of Police Jack Welsh an
nounced Tuesday morning that Salem
police are going out--and going out
strong-to get violators of the trafffc
ordinance in this city Officer Verden
M. Moffitt has been instructed to con-
cern himself with traffic only.
There is too much speeding In Sa-
'lem," Chief Welsh declared, "and it's
going to stop. It's very difficult for
one man to handle the situation, but
we'll do it,"
Bicyclists, riding anywhere at night,
must in the future comply with the
law which says that there sha;i pe
light on their wheels. Motorists have
complained recently that accidents
with men on wheels have been narrow
ly averted," Chief Welsh said. 1T
isn't fair to the motorist to hold him
responsible for an accident with
bicyclist, when the man on the wheel
is himself breaking the law"
The ordinance applying to bicyclists
states that any one riding wheel,
either on the sidewalk or street, must
have light. A violation of the ordi-
nance makes him subject to fine OF
from $3.50 to $25, or Imprisonment for
from two to ten days. Il

Reports Revival
Of Hop-growing
In Great Britain

4 William Bell, hop grower and deal
Ter Of this city, has just returned from
q visit Of one month in England, the
purpose Of his trip being to acquaint
himself with the English methods OF
growing hops. Mr.. Bell studied par
ticularly the scientific fertilization and
the effective vermicidal psraying.
He says that the English hop acre
Iage which was materially reduced dur
ing the war for the purpose of food
production is rapidly being increased
Ito it's pre-war volume. This spring
there were 5000 acres Of new hops set
out in England alone.
Conditions Unsettled.
The general conditions in England
are very unsettled and the labor unions
have a much stronger voice in the af-
fairs Of the government than in the
United States. 1.-THE people have not
yet settled down to work and the un-
production of the manufacturing
plant is delaying the period Of read
justment," said Mr.. Bell.
Coal mining, one of the most i'm
portant industries of Great Britain is
hardly able to compete with the Uni
ted States because the miners are get
ting such high wages that it is neces.
sary for them to work only 70 per cent
Of the 48 hour week to enable them to
live better than they did in the pre-
war days. ,
British Confident.
"Extravagance and listlessness are
90 much in evidence. But through it
III there is deep-rooted confidence in
he hearts Of the English people that
will eventually pull them out of the
nole," is the opinion Of Mr.. Bell.
Everyone is war weary. 1t is hard |.
,or an American to appreciate to what |
extent Great Britain has been torn by |

I'd.
Living is still slightly cheaper in dol.
