Stranger stilt Is tho uttor, brazen Holflshnoss which mon who should bo bigger and broader manifest In their relation to doing tho things necessary to bo dono If progress In public affairs Is to bo made. ( Somctlmos It Is Impossible to bo llovo that men who are endowed with tho power of thinking would havo tho nudaclty to expect of their follow citizens what they would re fuse to glvo themselves wcro they asked to do so. More utterly brazen and down right selfish Is that one who oxpect voluntary effort on the part of unsclflBh men to do the work that Is for tho benefit of all and should come from tho public through tho rogular taxpaylng chan nels. . An exnmplo of this typo of citizen ship was given recently In a con versation with a man who absolute ly agreed that tho work of tlio Farm Durcau was u good thing and fur ther declared that, "ho was for It," that "wo had to have It to sccuro many of tho changes that must bo brought about," and similarly by lila own admissions gava approval (o ANNOUNCKMKNT DOCTOR J.

FIT and SATISFACTION guaranteed. the work that Is being carried on In Malheur County, and In the same brcnth declared his opposition to tho work of tho County Agent. When asked who would do tho work that It was necessary to do to maintain an cffectlvo co-operation among tho farmers, this man said: "Well thero aro plenty of fellows that woujd do It." "Would you glvo a day of your tlmo to this work," the man wns asked. "No I am too busy, but thero aro others that will do It. It will be dono alright," was tho rojolner as Tho Argus was told of tho conver sation. That Is a protty fair samplo of tho nttltudo of a lot of citizens on not only the Farm Hureau but tho Commercial Club, the churches and all public bodies. It Is n caso of "Lot Gcorgo do It." Not only do Hiobo who aro will ing to glvo their tlmo, their energy, tholr thought and their money to public work do moro than tholr share, but thoy havo practically all tho tlmo, to do moro. Thoy havo to pay tho sharo that tho leaners, tho self, self-satisfied Individuals ought to pity. Tho unfairness of tho nttltudo of many cltlzons Is the causo of moro stagnation than thoy realize Thero aro many movements that would bo forwarded In Ontario If thero wcro a spirit of co-operntlon manifested by men who ought to tako an Inter est In "public affairs, but tho men, nnil thoy are a mighty few, who are doing tho public work, havo reached a point where patlonco Is no longer n virtue If tho rich land owner can afford to wait, so too can tho men who aro doing tho work and havo their own business to euro for Somo day tho pooplo will nwakon to tho fact that tho procession has passed. That thoy havo rlddon tho willingness horses to death for the bonoflt of tho balkors who novor carried tholr sharo of tho toad, What Is truo of tho city Is truo of tho country about It. If this ontlro country Is not go ing to go back to rango condltlonr It Is tlmo for tho business mon, the ranchers, ovoryono to bestir them selves to aid ovory effort to make tho business of ranching profitable Thero Is no call tor dovcloptng moro laud In this country, unions tho land wo havo undor dovolopmont can ba mado a profitable Invest ment. This Is n problem which con- corns tho owner of city property In Ontario as much as It docs the ranchers of tho county. Neither the retail merchants of tho city, tho land ownor from whom thoy rent, tho automoblo shop, nor anyone clso hern, can make any money, enjoy any real prosperity or happiness with the ranchers going broke And, nBldo from tho Farm Du roau and tho work of tho County Agent, wo know of no ngoncy that Is actually at work trying to solve tho farmer's problem. Whether It finds tho solution or not Is not tho question. It Is trying. It Is work ing along scientific lines. It Is not dominated by radicals. It is con structive It deserves tho support of the people until something bet tor is found. And so far as tho ob jectors aro concerned, thoy havo not, oh yet, at least, come forward with a better plan. Like the minister at the double wedding Knau fttwi lU'H . i 1 MM I) WORK NOT WANTED? Apparently tho pooplo of Malheur County havo turned tholr backs up on constructive road work. Thoy do not want to participate In the distribution of Stato Funds to which thoy contribute but nra contont to pay Into tho fund and lot other countries take out tho sharo that should come to this county. That Ih tho only conclusion that Tho Argus can reach from tho re sponses that havo bocn rocolved from tho ballot printed In last week's Issue So far only -a small numbor of ballots hnvo been received but by a small majority thoy have boon op posed to doing nnythlng toward get ting tho road from Cairo wost Im proved. Soveral of thoso who re sponded In favor of going after the $100,000 of stato funds, qualified tholr annwer thus: "do nftor tho money If It can bo arranged that only residents of Mai hour county can bo employed on tho work." Othors said Yes, go after tho stato funds, but do not issuo any more bonds. So fow havo beon tho roturns that tho Argus Is convlncod that the pooplo don't caro, whothor nnythlng Is dono or not. Even mer chants whoso vory business Is do pondout upon tho condition of tho highways havo not tnkon enough tlmo to cast a ballot or Indlcato that thoy want nnythlng dono. It looks Ilko a hopolcss case Hut noxt winter, whon tho rains nnd snow mako tho road Impassablo, then wo will hear of complainants, nnd pcoplo will como In nnd con demn ovoryono but thomsolvcs, for tho condlton In which tho road will be. OREGON SLOPE We have simply put two and two together! Ono afternoon at tho start of this season wo wont into our private office locked the door and took account of things in general. Said wo to ourselves "Young man, your thous ands of customers aro going to oxpoct great tilings from you this season. These men know where the prices havo dropped to and they are going to look to you to see what you are going to do about it." Wo foresaw tho demand for lower prices and greater values and then we simply put two and two togother and resolved to meet your wishes in a way that will do us proud for years to come. That, people, is the reason for our values today. That, folks, is the reason why this store will ho crowded all day tomorrow.
