there would not be any recourse in
the courts. In other words the Ship
ping Board is all powerful and all
supreme under the provisions Of this
most extraordinary bill.
"The $1,715,OOO advertising fund be-
ing spent during the current year by
the Shipping Board is not being spent
in vain" he said, and called attention
to the fact that while statement OF
disbursements from this fund had
been promised it had not been filed
He even asserted that the social lobby
had been overworked to further this
bill and exhibited expensive propa-
ganda which had been sent broadcast
to the press and individuals and as
serted that employees Of the Shipping
Board were engaged inthis work for
weeks neglecting their regular duties.
He declared that the propaganda pro-
gramme was unseemly and reprehen-
sible and should be rebuked by Con-
gress. The worst feature of it, he said
is that the propaganda is full of false
and deceptive statements.
Our Government-owned merchant
tonnage cost the people about $3,OOO,-
100000. It is estimated that we will
probably sell the ships for $2OO,OO0,-
900. Consequently the people will
stand a loss by deflation of $780,
100000. Furthermore, it is contem-
plated that either existing shipping
companies or companies to be organ
lied, who buy the ships, will capital
ize the ships largely in excess Of their
cost to them, and sell the stock and
bonds to the American people-so
that the people will be standing the
war deflation, the postwar deflation,
and then the promotion initiation.
"The people through their Govern
llGlll, Will Scll luC SuIPo LOl dppi
mately $2OO,OOO,O0O, lend $125,OOO,OOO
to recondition those ships or build
others, and then pay the owners ap-
proximately $75O,OO0,OOO in subsidies
and aids within the next 10 years, In
other words, we will be giving ~
ships away and paying the recipients
over half a billion dollars to operate
them for the next ten years, not to
speak Of the fact that they will prcb-
ably be coming back at each succeed
ing Congress asking for more.
"As the American people revolted
to such an extent as to prevent the
passage of the Hanna Ship Subsidy
bill, which carried an estimated an
nual expenditure of only 1922 ,26S,
and later the Gallinger bill, which
carried an estimated annual expendi-
ture of s5,109, 1856, which the report on

HONEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922

Don't it seem fine to get into your
boat, lie face up in the sunlight an
Irift down the stream Of life without
care in the world? You pass hun
lreds of rocks, the eddies switch the
boat from side to side an get you by
safely, maybe with here an there a
little scratch but not enogh to set you
worryin'. An then you get it. Bump,
an over the falls you go. Boy, what
4 smash. If you have any thinkin'
apparatus left you see where you tried
to beat the game an it didn't work
out. Old Cap Nature says you've got
to take hold of the oars an row up
stream if you want to land safely
Sometimes's you've got to row mighty
hard to make headway but you might
as we'll tackle the job, because, there's
no room for argument. Every river
ends on rocks or in the mudbanks and
that's where the fellow lands who
drifts down the stream.

SOME REASONS FOR
PLANTING SOYBEANS

Soybeans will grow on poor soils
where cowpeas fail, and on soils too
wet for cowpeaS,. and on the average
in cultivated rows will yield % per-
cent to so per cent more hay or seed
than cOwpeas.
1t is usually possible to get more
profit from an acre Of soy beans than
from an acre of cowpeas and have
more material to turn in for soil i'm
provement.
Soy beans can be used by Southern
cotton oil mills to supplement cotton
seed and thereby lengthen the opera
ting season of the mills. A ton of soy
beans will make from 80 to 35 gallons
of oil and 1850 pounds of meal. There
is loss in the milling operations OF
only about 120 pounds per ton.
Sow bean meal contains 80 percent
more nitrogen than cotton seed mea
and has higher feeding value.
Soybean oil has a wide range o!
usefulness in the manufacture of soaps
paints, varnishes, linoleums, oil cloth
etc.
The soy bean can be used in a way
to return good revenue and at the
same time be a soil-building crop
soil improvement being the greatest
underlying problem in the South.
The above are some of the reasons
why farmers should plant soy beans
given in Extension Circular 35, "Soy
Beans, just published by the Exten-
sion Service. Copies may be had upon
application.

WASHINGTON LETTER
By WALLACE BASSFORD
Especial News Correspondent

Washington, D. c., June 26.-"One
of the most dangerous tendencies in
our government is the evil growth
of bureaucracy and of officialism, and
this Ship Subsidy bill presents the
most flagrant and arrogant instance
of it ever devised" So said Judge
Davis of Tennessee, who brings one
of the finest judicial minds of the
country to his service in the House
of Representatives And there are
enough Republicans in the House who
are willing to join hands with the
Democrats to defeat this vicious grab,
but those who have seen how the
thing is done are free to predict that
before the bill comes to a vote the
President will have bullied or cajoled
enough members of his own party into
line to put through his pet measure.
"a bonus for the ship-owners, but
none for the soldiers" might well be
inscribed on the Presidents shield,
for that represents his attitude to a
dot Daily the Wall Street Journal
boosts the one and knocks the other.
Daily the President does the same.
He has never been for the soldiers
bonus and does not even make good
work of concealing the fact.

l quote some Of the more pertinent
paragraphs from Judge Davis mas
terly arraignment of the Ship Subsidy
bill:
"One of the provisions of the bill is
that so per cent of the immigrants to
this country shall be transported in
American vessels. Mr.. Thomas H.
Roasbottom, a representative Of the
Shipping Board, who testified at the
hearings, estimated that under the
present 8 per, cent quota law this
traffic would give the Transporting
companies a gross income of $l7.6"O.-
900 per year, of which one-half, or SS,-
100000 should come to American own
ers.' He further stated that one-half
Of this sum- would be net profit.
ut is important to note that this
bill does not require the Shipping
Board to make any report or account
ing at any time to either the President
or to Congress or to anybody else.
Neither does it provide any appeal on
any decision or action Of the Shipping
Board or any other tribunal. Propo-
nents of the bill also conceive that

RAILROAD MEN ESCAPE
DEATH AT UMATILLA

About 40 workers in the employ of
the o. W. R. & N. at Umatilla are
alive today because dynamite bomb
planted under one of the Pullman cars
in which the men live failed to ex-
plode when it was set Saturday night,
reports the East Oregonian.
Two bombs were set, according to
information held by the sheriff's Of
flee, but only one exploded. One was
set under the Pullman, but the fuse
was defective and it never exploded.
The other one was thrown on the
track. 1t exploded, but it had fallen
under a rail, and the chief force of
the explosion was downward.
The vibration was sufficient, how
ever, to break many window glasses,
and the town was shaken up. The pro-
perty damage was slight. The identity
of the man or men responsible for the
work is mystery which the officers
have not succeeded in solving.

HACKERS ARE KEPT GUESSING
About One OF the Most Uncertain
Sporting Events Imaginable Is a
Cockroach Race.

Russian refugees In ConstantinOple
turn their hands to all sorts of money
making devices. The latest and most
successful are cockroach races. These
are held In rooms which the Russians
hire along the Grand Rue de Pera.
The story as told by Kenneth L. Rob
erts in the Saturday Evening Post, is
that in the center of each room Is q
large table with miniature race
track built on it. The owner places a
box at one end of the track and waits
until his patrons have made their bets
on five contestants. Then he opens
the box and discloses five enormous
cockroaches attached to diminutive
sulkies. AS the box is opened four Of
the contestants may start briskly
around the track, while the fifth may
turn abruptly and canter in the wrong
direction amid heart-breaking groans
from those who are backing his colors,
Then the leader Of the four racers who
are headed in the right direction may
stop short and twiddle his feelers pen
sively, and the other three may also
stop and cluster around him to inves-
tigate the cause of the delay. While
the conference is in progress the cock
roach that started the wrong way may
change his mind, turn and come dash
ing past the four idlers with his eyes
flashing and his tail up. Then the four
idlers may recover from their mo-
mentary ennui, start briskly up the
track again and pass the fifth contest
ant, who has probably fallen into
brown study and leaned up against
the race-track wall with crossed legs
and weakly waving feelers. And so 1t
goes, until one of the cockroaches final
ly pulls himself together and scuttles
across the finish line.

READY FOR THE BIG
SHOW SEPT. 21, %, %

Pendleton is in Roundup dress.
Her citizens have discarded the
sober attire of the hum-drum business
world and are gay in the fancy vests,
loud shirts and ad-brimmed SOM
breros of the cowboy. Local business
houses are showing cards proclaiming
that their employees are dressed 400
per cent for the Round d-Up."
Nor is the biggest little city in the
world" lacking in gala attire. Street
decorations are being put in place and
vari-colored banners and pennants are
floating in the clear air of September.
At the Round-Up grounds the shiny
coated racers are daily being put
through their PAGES. They have won
honors on tracks throughout the Unit
ed States and give promise of some
breathless races at this years show.
Mexican steers a-plenty are ready and
buckers as well.
There is coyness in the eyes of
Winnemucca and Hotfoot, two of the
widest buckers, that presages ill for
would-be riders. Both are acclaimed
by the cowboys as "a coupla wild
'uns," and have already spilled score
of horsemen in the try-outs.
Besides the usual world champion
ship bucking contest, there will this
year be Northwest championship as
well. In this, only residents of Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho may COM
pete and no one who has ever been in
the semi-finals at the Round d-Up is
eligible.
An innovation this year will be the
cowboys milking contest" For this,
each cowboy is allowed helper and
must rope a COW, milk into bottle
enough milk so that the fluid can be
poured from it, and ride with the bot
tie to the judges stand. The cows are
not to be busted" but roped by horns,
half head or neck.
