THE ONTARIO AEGUS, ONTARIO, OREGON, THURSDAY MAY 18, 1922. GJhr ODntaiiu Angus Count Official Paper An Independent Newspaper Published Thursdays at Ontario, Oregon, and ontored at ttio Ontario post offlco for distribution as 2nd class mattor. 0. K. Alkon, Managing Editor kMakla SUBSCRIPTION Ono Year, $2.00 HOW comi:? . In n recent Isbuo of tlio Onto City Journal of Nyssa tho Argus Is tak on to task. Tlio Nyssn Contompo rary asserts that tho Argus is taking In too much torrltory In UBlng tlio oxprcsslen: "Ontario is Mecca for wool buyors during wcok." This is Indeed strange, for a visit to tho hotols of Ontario ylll rovcal tho fact that tho names of a halt dozon prominent wool buyors can ho found on tho registers. Thoso wool buyom remained In Ontario for bov oral day; at least tlioy mado this their hendquartors whllo in tho county; n natural thing for thom to do. Wo Bubmlt to our contemporary that this Justifies tho uso of tho terms of which it cothplalns. Hut tho Argus would not deny to Nysita ono lota of credit to which It is duo. Tho Argus did not say that tlio wool was bought In Ontnrlo, or that it was Ontario wool. Thuro Is In fact, vory llttlo wool grown In Ontario; tho city Is not a sheep rango, nor Is It a pasture lot. Nolthor is Nyssa, so wo fool that tho Nyssa paper ought not to object to tho story which Htartod with this statement: "Nearly a half million pounds of MALHEUR COUNTY WOOL was sold during tho past week at prices varying from 30 to 35 cents per pound." Tho fact that tho buyers roforrod to stayed hero in Ontario and drovo to Nyssa, to Vale and other sections of tho county, wo hollovo Justifies tho statement which follew: "All week Ontario has boon tho center of n wool buying inovomout with representatives of numerous Boston mid l'orttnnd wool Arms, etc." Horo followed tho names of tho man or at least n tow of thom, who wero hero in Ontario and stayed horo whllo in tho county. As a matter of fact tho Argus ro portor waB not told where tho var ious clips woro bought, but tho names of tho growors Woro given, so far ns wo know them, and all of thom aro so well known nnd their resldonco also that tho credit for tho placo whoro tho wool was grown was thus indicated. Wo did not know that Mr. Dun away of tho Mainour County Dank at Nyssa mado tho deals of which our contemporary complained. Wo assumed that thoso wool buyors mado tho deals direct. If wo havo tlono Mr. Dunawuy and his Institu tion an Injustice it was not inten tional. And furthormoro, our con temporary Is reading into our ac count stntomeuts not thuro contalnod Tho Argus nowhoro claimed that the sales woro made through Ontar io won, and nowhoro claimed Nyssa business mon as part of Ontario. And nowhere did wo oxecod tho lim its of Journalistic llconso. Tho Argus regrets that its neigh-, bor is offonded, but docllnos to bo abused in n mutter whoro no Injury was done nnd nouo was intoudod. Tho Argils has workod nnd fought for tho Improvement of roads lead ing to Nyssa, for tho Nyssa-Jordnn Valloy highway, for tho John Day Highway leading to Nyssa. As tho Journal itsolt onco admitted: "Wo havo a (Travelled stroot loading through Nys,sn which wns secured by no action of Nyssn business men, but by tho activity of tho Ontario Coinmorclal club", or words to that effect. Tho Argus had a part In that activity and Is proud of tho fact. Tho Argus is proud of Malheur county, and ready and willing to aid in tho advancement of any section of tho county. What will help ono soctlon will at" I ovory othor ' part. LNyssa enn not grow without holplng Ontario; nolthor can Ontnrlo grow without holplng Nyssa. Thoro aro ho many big probloms of development which wo can accom plish only by united effort that It scorns odd that llttlo things should bo pormlttod to crcato blckorings that might endanger tho Inrgor ob jects. Wo trust that our neighbor will view tho mattor in this -light, and wo hopo that it will read again our story of tho wool Bales and note tho error It has mado in Its Intorpro trntion thereof. THH RECALL NOT JUSTIMICI) Tho State of Oregon, that is tho taxpayors, ar& being put to nn ex penso which will run Into thousands of dollars becauso of tho unjjutifled attompt to recall two of tho Public Sorvico commissioners. Wo say un justified becauso tho proponents of tho recall glvo as tholr solo and only grounds for tho attempt, tho fact that tho doclslon of tho commission In tho Portland telcphono caso ls;In tho opinion of tho would-bo retailo rs; an unjust ono. If this wero true; nnd thoro Is nothing In tho record to provo that It was; tho courts woro nnd nro open for an appeal from that decision. That is what tho courts nro for. Tho law makes that provision. Tho ro callers manifested their woakness of tholr eanu by refusing to appoal it to tho courts. Tho calling of tho recall Into sor vico In this connection 1b an abuse of that weapon. It Ib an nttompt to supplant tho machinery of mob ocracy. It Is an nttempt to sub vort JtiBtlco by an nppcnl to proju dlco. It Is unAhiorlcnn. Tho men who called it into bolng Bhould bo taught that tho weapon that tho peo plo dovlsod fur Justifiable recallB must not bo used to promoto mcro polltlcnl ponderers Into public office. In nil fulrnoss tho men who ro fused to submit to tho orderly pro- cooduro of tho Inw should bo robuked and this can only bo duno by voting against tho recall of either ono of tho commissioners.

' TAGGART HARDWARE A WOKTIIY RECORD It Is n historical fact that tho poo- plo in a domocrncy seldom apprucl ata good public sorvico. It is, as historians havo long noted, tho bano of domocrncy. It is this human woaknoss of tho public that ofton doprlvos It of tho Horvlco of mon who havo tho spirit of public sorvico nt heart; who aro willing to glvo of tholr tlmo. and tholr effort to promoto tho public good. It should not bo necessary to ro- call to tho minds of Malheur county votors tho good work that 1'. J. Gallagher, for oxamplo, has dono for this suction. IIo has boon n cap nblo roprcsontntlvo. Tho Oregon Voter, and It can not Do said to bo projudlcod In his favor, in Its last issuo lauded his record, named him ono of tho constructive londors, tho most effective dobator In tho IIouso, and othorwlso approved his record. To namo but n few of tho things which Mr. Gallagher has accom plished should servo to remind tho peoplo of tho efficient manner In which thoy havo boon ruprosentod: Ho secured tho passago of tho law guaranteeing Intorost on irrigation and drainage projects, nnd wo ask whoro would soino of our irrigation and drnlnago districts ho now with out this law? Ho secured tho amendment of tho bounty law saving tho county thous ands of dollars. IIo secured a stato appropriation of $5000 to aid tlio Owyhee Projoct nnd socurcd too, tho Government's co-oporation so that that projoct is now ready for advancement whan funds aro available IIo secured; addltioilal appropri ations for the Malheur county fair, He has boon ono of tho most ef fective loadors in tho campaign for bottor roads and unUed with others ho has socurod tho'oxpondlturo of moro than a million dollars in this county for good roads. Compared dth this record, nnd it Is but a part, wo boliove that no legislator from Eastern Oregon In recent years, can equal it. Why then should thoro bo an effort mado to re pudlato that rocord by nominating another? Is it not tho part of wis dom to say naught of fairness to re cognlzo tho man who has dono this constructive workT Wo bellovo it is .arid that Mr. Gallagher should .bo renominated. KINGMAN KOLONY U.
