RESTAURANT PRICES
THEY CONTINUE HIGH HIRE


Many readers Of The Times
conservative cttixens-write bttteg
complaints against continued high
restaurant prices In this city, point
Ing out that In . large number Of
cases Ut 10 claimed . big majority
the restaurants have not lowered
prices in the least for many months.
still retaining price lists that were
In evidence before the slump came
in all sorts OF foods.
III intelligent men and women
know what they talk about land
they seem to). thfe situation IL
particularly unfair, inasmuch 40 .
large portion Of the population Of
Washington mainly Government
workers without homes--patronize
restaurants and lunch rooms and
are helpless In the face of profteer-
Ing. The Government itself,
through one of several agencies.
should be Interested enough In it's
own employes~to investigate these
charges that Justice may b done
A well-known employe of the Pat
emit office is the author OF long and
bitter letter to The Times on this
subject, part OF which follows:
From extended inquiry. ] find
that prices OF foodstuffs In res
taurants in Washington are
higher thsn anywhere else In
the United States, The perfect
Iy good reason for this Is the de-
mand on the part OF probably
100000 drifting. homeless people
who form so large q part Of the
population OF Washington. There
Is nowhere else In the United ~
states where so many people
live in furnished rooms and de-
pend upon restaurants three
times a day for the food they
are barely able to pay for to keep
themselves alive.
! venture the assertion that the
profits of many OF these grating
restauratcurs runs as high as 1000
per cent on many thinGs, The
prices and profits are both out
rageous.
Here's sample: Potatoes.
wholesale, have been selling for
20 cents per peck; In the restau-
rants 10 to 20 cents per order, q
profit of over 1000 per cent.
Lettuce, 5 cents per head. whole
sale; 20 cents ian the restaurants.
String beans, IL cents per can,
wholesale, not less than 10 cents
per order In restaurants. an enor-
nous profit, and so on through
every item which forms the daily
diet Of these helpless creatures
working for the Government
The prices of foods IN which
eggs form a part Is . notable ex-
ample. Eggs arc really cheaper
than for years before the war. and
yet they can only he had in res-
high.
Ut might be a good idea for clerks
to lay the situation before LUTH-
Err STEWARD, president of the
National Federation of Federal EN-
ployes. that he may present facts
a., to the Department of Justice or else
where.)

Stars and Stripes

A kind word cools wrath and warns
enthusiasm.
He who experiences too many things has
experience in none.
Houses are built with the hands; homes
are made with the heart.
Better to do kindness to an enemy
than to ask a kindSss of friend.
Men who strain at gnats of criticism
swallow camels of flattery.
Advice, like medicine, Should be taken
in small doses, and only when needed
A little extravaganza courts great debt
and breeds greater temptations.
The man who looks back on a misspent
past sees there the grave Of his future.

I'm ReactiOna1-ies We're Wise
Then d HearB Bishop Williams

; Can't you see what is going on all
over the world?
Can t you hear the rumblings of the
volcano under your feeti
Can't you perceive the unrest, the
turmoil, the confusion of mankind,
laboripg to bring forth a new order
of human life and human society,"
And can't you see that sooner or
later you and your havings will be
saved or destroyed as you help or
hinder the progressive march Of the
masses toward the goals they seeki
You can't stop this mighty march.
But you can save yourselves and be
good and useful citizens of your
country and the world by joining
the march, by leading the march
along good roads of sensible adj
vance, by using your energies and
your brains to help instead of to
hinder the forward movement of
mankind.
Be well assured that you must
either go with the armies of progress
or be trampled under their march
ing feet.
What senseless folly is the thing
of making tyrannical laws, of hiring
villainous spies, of bribing public
officials, of denying citizens their
rights of representation, Of hog
tying and plundering the public, of
filling jails with the spokesman of
the masses!
Have you never heard that the
tears and blood Of martyrs are the
seed of progress and liberty! g
Do you think that with repressive,
oppressive methods, applied in other
ways to other men and women, you
can COW the discomfort of the
masses, hold over them the terror of
your unjust judges, your packed
juries, your paid spies, and your
subservient politicians'
Do you think that your "Invisible
Government" is stronger or more
cunning than that ancient tyranny
which so long ruled the Russian
people by the, same methods, and
which fell before the first blow the
reused and enraged Russian people
dealt it!
Go to church when Bishop Will
Hams and the few men like him
unite to the ministry of religion the
zeal and the fearlessness and the
wisdom of those who, having eyes,
can see, and, having ears, can hear,
and, having voice, can speak the
words of soberness and truth and
wise warning and good counsel.

C0Iored, Scenic
Photos Shown
Christian Church
By MAY BENEDICT

Tho Patterson pictures given at
the Christian church Friday night,
were exceedingly fine. The pictures
were reproduced by magic lantern
slides and were colored photographs
of Oregon and California scenery
and flowers. For centuries back
artists have tried again and again
to produce photographs expressing
natures colors with the camera
without any other means of coloring,
and at last this wonder has been
accomplished. And the Ashland peo-
pie are indeed fortunate to see, per-
haps the first natural colored photo
graphs that have been displayed in
Southern Oregon
We can scarcely realize that we
have been permitted to see that for
which generations back have lived
and died hoping to see, yet never
saw-the colored photograph.
Frank Patterson, scenic artist of
Medford, was the producer of the
pictures displayed on Friday night,
and to say that the audience of 200
people were pleased with the beauti-
full views expresses it mildly.
The song, "In Ashland" was sung
by a quartet and illustrated on the
screen by colored views of Ashland's
beautiful park scenery.
Delbert Fehl, of Medford, is the
author of the song and 1t has pleas
ing words and beautiful music, and
was highly appreciated by the audi
encs here.

SLIGHT INCREASE IN
ESPEE CAR LOADING

A slight improvement in freight
car loading is shown by the South
ern Pacific company's carloading re-
ports for the month of October Dur
ing this month 1888 cars were
loaded on the Pacific system as COM
pared with S2,215 cars in the same
month III 1920. The Portland divi-
sion is responsible for a larger part
of this increase, owing to the in
creased lumber business in Oregon
this year. The Salt Lake, Coast,
Stockton and Los Angeles divisions
also show increases.
Increased efficiency in carloading
is also shown by the company's re-
port. The average load per car in
October. 1921, was 1913 tons, as
compared with ass tons in October,
1920. an increase of 1:5 tons per
car.

County Defers
Road Changes
Until January

The Jackson county court had
planned on changing the boundary
lines of number of road districts
at the September term, but found
that the law had been changed in
this regard, SO that no boundary line
can be changed until the January
term.
Therefore in all road districts in
which meetings have ALREADY been
called to vote on the levy, the levy
will be on the same boundaries as
last year.
