is not done on account Of other
expenses of the Government, and
there is no reason why a law at
tempting to render insufficient
justice to our soldiers should be
made as obnoxious as possible to
the country.
What has the soldier done that
compensation to him should be
made as offensive as our alleged
statesmen in Washington can
make it7
Did these same statesmen single
out the huge bonuses they have
been giving the railroads since
the close of the war for a special
tax in order that it may be point
ed out to the people as the cost
they are paying for the private
mismanagement Of the railroads.
Has the huge cost of misman-
agement of our shipping interests
just after the war been singled
out for a special tax so that it
may be pointed out to the people
as the price they are paying for
that kind of Encouragement
Was the tax for the pensions of
the veterans of the Civil War
made a special tax so that the
people might be constantly re-
minded of the special burden they
were carrying for these veteransi
What has the soldier of the
great war done to offend the
gentlemen in Congress so much
that they not only begrudge the
soldier his bonus, but when find
ing that the bonus must be grant
ed, or the gentlemen in Washing
ton must retire from Washington,
they propose to grant it by a
special tax which will make the
bonus seem as burdensome to the
people as possiblei

She suggests, then, that wives

Ethics and
Editors
THE Oregon State Editorial
Il Association has adopted a

Association mas adopted a
code of ethics intended to be
a guide for journalists. The code
was prepared by the dean Of the
University of Oregon. 1t reads
like it.
"No man who is not in ethical
advance of the average of his
community" runs one clause,
"should be in the profession of
Journalism"
This sounds fine, but is there
anything in it besides it's sounds
Who is to measure the ethical
average of the community and
then decide upon the number of
feet or inches or amperes or fluid
ounces or oompahs that the APP
plicant for journalistic honors has
advanced beyond that. average'
Those who are already in the
journalistic field? Or deans of
universitiesY
Who is to decide the ethical
measurement of the deans or
whoever else may be selected as
the judges9
The foremost president of a uni
versity in the United States once
asked us why "no American
newspaper possessed the char
acter of the London Times" And
at that very time the London pa
per he lauded was publishing
forged documents to destroy
Irish leaders to crafty a Tory
ministry in England!
AS matter of cold, pitiless
fact, no human being who ever
set out with such a bundle of nom
sense as the Oregon association
could possibly succeed in journal
ism. Journalistic giants like
Greeley, Dana and the elder Ben
net were assailed by the united
university deans and self-selected
judges of ethics as long as they
lived or were in their prime. They
were only placed upon a pedestal
after their death.
What might best please the
Oregonian philosophers would be
an amendment to their code that
no man should be in the profess
sion of journalism until he is
dead.

4 GlRL stenographer filed suit
IA against her employer in
London court the other day.
She had been discharged, she COM
planned, without notice or COM
pensation, because she had
smoked cigarettes during work
ing hours.
Without touching on the moral
or conventional aspects of women
smoking in public, the young lady
was undoubtedly justified in her
complaint, and the learned Judge
so found for her. He also ordered
her former employer to pay her a
weeks salary.
The case presented by the
young woman had as its backbone
the following question:
Has a woman not as much
right to smoke in public as a
man?
Men employees of the same firm,
she said, constantly smoked
during working hours, and there
fore, by what method of fair rea-
soning was she to be denied the
same privilege2
Yet, when she lighted her
cigarette and pulled away, she
was discharged Immediately.
If ladies must smoke, why
should it be necessary for them
to sneak away, like the small boy
in the woodshed, to enjoy the
pleasures of Lady Nicotine'

FARM BLOC FOR FORD FERTILIZER

While President Harding is straining every nevre
TO obtain a subsidy for shipping, the Farm bloc in
Congress has definitely decided to back the Henry
Ford proposal to lease and operate the fertilizer
plants at Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
Those back of the Muscle Shoals movement
plainly indicate their conviction that the quick and
cheap manufacture of fertilizer is of more funda-
mental Importance to the American farmer than

1t would be OF incaculable benefit to all farmers

away more years in hagglng while the great enter

Hens or Pullets?

Clemson College Oct. 3O.-'Tis
the pullet that lays the profitable
egg. Investigation has shown us that
the pullet produces a greater num-
Der of eggs than does yearling bird.
Also, that the pullet consumes a
smaller amount of food material. All
of which shows that the pullet is
more profitable than the hen.
In poultry flock, says N. R.
Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Special
list, we find that the ratio of pullets
to hens is two-thirds pullets and one
third hens. However, we must con-
slider not only egg production but
also the breeding stock, and perhaps
the yearling will make the best
breeders. The reason for having two
thirds pullets and one-third hens is
that greater egg production results
during the pullet year and also it
gives the practical poultryman bet
ter chance to Gull out his poor pull
lets and keep only his best for breed
ing birds the following year.
In the poultry business, we find
that when the hen becomes older she
produces fewer and fewer eggs; she
lays the largest number during her
first year; fewer the second, and so
on through her life; SO birds should
not be kept for egg production after
they are two years of age.
