THE POLITICAL
FIELD REVIEW
Resume of Candidates Much Interest
Manifested In Senatorial Race
Good Roads An Issue . .
(By Sabaean Phoenlceus)
Aa far as legislative and county
offices go, the county Democratic
primaries should be a rather safe
and sana demonstration, as only four
offices have found seekers for party
endorsement and no contest is sched
uled for any of these. It is rumor
ed that there may be an attempt
to fill the ticket by "writing on"
on election day, but no more names
can now be added to the printed bal
lots. In the Republican camp also, every
thing is as quiet as was the Patomac
in years gone by, with the excep
tion of the race for the nomination
as State Senator and for County As
sessor. For the latter, job no one
seemed willing to contest "Morg"
Carlile's ability to count acres, sheep
and cattle, until about a week ago,
out when the filings closed H. L.
Poorman, Andrew M. Graham and
I. B. Quiaenberry were all found
anxious to secure th.e G. O. P. prim'
aries to try their arithmetic. It is
all too sudden to predict results.
The classic in the local Republi
can primaries however, will be the
race for State Senatorship. Last
week Charles M. Crandall, of Vale
entered the race against Senator
Hurley and Charles W. Ellis. Ellis
who lives in Burns presents Harney
County's claim for representation in
the legislature, while Crandall is
looked upon as an anti good roads
representative. " Senator Hurley is
standing on his record .of
accomplishment for his district.
While the. race will be rather inter
esting it seems certain that Hurley
will be returned for a second term.
Hurley's Republicanism can not be
questioned he is the man that put
Harney, Grant and Malheur Counties
on the State road map. He natural-,
ly will attract the main party vote
and the good roads vote in. all three
counties.
Currey Not a Candidate
. George Huntington Currey who up
on the insistence of friends filed a
statement of his candidacy for the
legislature from Harney and Malheur
counties has decided to withdraw
from the race. Mr Currey states.

FARM RECORD PROJECT!
PART 1920 PROGRAM
Government Specialist Cooperate!
With County Agent and Farm
Record Project Leader
What did Malheur County farmers
get for their labor last year, after
paying all farm expenses and allow
ing a fair rate of interest, on their
investment? Some outside interests
are of the opinion that the farmers
have been making big money. The
farmers are not ready to accede this
statement. The Farm Bureau is anx
ious to learn the facts according to
R. V. Gun, Government specialist
who is here going over tfie survey
with Cbunty Agent Breithaup. Why
do they wish tp know? For several
reasons.
In the first place, the great nation
wide organization of farmers has in
cluded many things in its program.
An outstanding feature is the reali
zation that farming must be put on
a business basis and run in a busi
nesslike manner in order to insure
agTiculturals ability and to help put
farming where it belongs. They real
ize that business organization and
business methods are absolutely nec
essary today.
A Farm Management survey of
44 irrigated farms in this county,
taken four years ago for the calen
dar year 1915, rewarded the fact that
the average labor income of these
farms was $921.00. A farm business
survey of 19 farms in the Ontario
Nyssa irrigated district for 1919, re
cently conducted, shows the average
labor income to be $895.00. A more
detailed survey of the Oregon Slope
district is now "being undertaken by
the County Farm Bureau. It is hoped
that at least 50 records on 1919 fig
ures will be available . before the
week is over. Such informatk
therein will, in no manner, be con
clusive. It should, -however, pave
the way for a real farm manage
ment project based upon carefully
kept farm accounts for the present
year.
Data of this secured from actual
records, kept by the farmers will
be of much value in pointing out
the leaks in the farm business and
determining the factors which make
for success. It will assist in the big
question of today, cost of production.
The farmer, as much as any one else
is entitled to a price which covers
cost of production and a fair profit.
To, got thin,, however, their demands
must be backed up by facts and figures
The farmers must "Know what they
tho-talking about. Farm Records are
convincing. A third big factor, in
connection with the value of such
a project is that it will give the
farmer the information necessary for"
filing an accurate and complete in
come tax raport. To those who are
'ortunate enough to come . in that
-lass it often means the saving of
many dollars.
It is expected that, at least 100
to 150 farmers in the irrigated farm
ing districts will take sufficient in
;orefit in the project to cooperate
A-ith the Farm Bureau. Record books
prepared especially for the farmers
by the Extension Service of O. A. C.
ind distributed by the Ontario Nat
ional Bank and the Malheur Enter
prise will be furnished to all who are
int- r'teil. Furthermore.meetings to
explain the project and give instruc
.ion on the keeping of accounts are
now being held in those communities
where there is actual demand and
interest in the work. So far meet
ings have been held at Cario and
Oregon Slope. Arrangements are
being made to hold further meetings
in the Owyhee district, at Brcgan and
at Vale.
COMMISSIONER STATE
HIGHWAY PAYS VISIT
Highway Official And Highway En
gineer Inspect John Day And
Oregon Trail Highways
Vale was favored last Tuesday
with, a visit from State Highway
Commissioner E. E. Kiddle, accom
panied by State Highway Engineer,
R. H. Baldpck who were here on a
tour of inspection of the John Day
Highway and the Oregon Trail High
way, and were vociferous - in their
expression of pleasure in the good
work done in the grading and gut
tering on the long grade out of
Brogan. Commissioner Kiddle atat
ed that there seems to be no reason
why Vale should not be granted a
modern steel bridge, crossing the
Malheur River at this point of the
conjunction of two main thru high
ways, the John Day and the Central
Oregon.
Commissioner Kiddle and Engineer
Baldock left Ontario, the terminus of
the Oregon Trail Highway and drove
over that road to Huntington.
Before leaving the h'ghway offic
ial stated he expected to return at
an early date and make a personal
trip of inspection over the John
Day Highway from here into Grant
County and stated further that un
less the additional increase from two
to four per cent in ' the bonding
power of the State for road con
struction carrier, that the construc
tion of good roads in Oregon will
practically be at a standstill for a
long 'time to come, explaining that
the increase means no additional tax
and that the money received from the
auto licences and gasoline tax will
mere than nay the principal and in
teifht of the bonds which will be
iiwued under the provisions of thi i
act, that the only people who were
not in favor of this proponed amend
ment were thoee who did not fully
understand it and thereby thought
pliiat it meant an increase in their
taxes which it does not.

VALE GIVES UP GHOST
TO PARMA BALL TEAM
Game Aa Played Was Credit ta Pre
fesslonal Performers Woodward
Weakens In Eleventh
Sunday was base ball weather and
those who journeyed to th ball farm
to witness the opening gam of th
sea on between Val and Parma
were rewarded by a splendid exhi
bition of th National pastime. True,
errors aided in the scoring but talent
was displayed which, when whipped
into form, will put up games which
would be a credit to .many of the
exhibitions of salaried players.'
Promptly at three o'clock the um
pire called the game. Woodward was
sent to the mound for the locals and
he responded by striking out Stock
ton; Sayer reached first on an er
ror; H. Stockton fanned th Oregon
breezes and Thornton waa. as asy
ut, Wodward to Smith.
Neely, th first man to fa Pen
son, hit down th third base line and
reached first safely whil Glennoa
juggled th ball, stole second and
third and romped to the boms station
whn Leidl sacrificed; Parrott got
in the way of one of Panson's bend
ers and was given transportation to
the initial sack; Kiser whiffed and
Sullivan flew out to Stockton, re
tiring th sid. '
In the second, third, fourth, fifth
and sixth chapters Woodward mad
contortionists of the visitors and re
fused to allow mor than four men
to face him durinr a session. Pen
son also tightened up for five innings
and refused permission to any of the
home boys to stray further away
from home than the second station.
Then came the sutth in which the
home town boys attempted to sew up
the game in real honest to goodness
fashion and, assisted by two misfit
plays, sent two men across the pan.
In the first half of the seventh
frame the visitors started a mara
thon race and sent two mem around
the circuit before the Val tossers
could get their feet on th ground,
then it was on, two, three. The
visitors succeeded in tiaing the score
in the eighth when Stockton failed
to get out of the way of one of
Woodward's fast ones and Thornton hit
the baU out of the lot.
Only three men faced Pensen in
each of the ninth and tenth chapters
and he seemed to be going better
after the overtime hour bad been
reached. Woodward began to show
signs of weakness in frame eight, but
held the visitors runless . until the
eleventh inning and than cam the
awfal crash. Th aatir hsa Uam

Oregon Parent-Teachers Favor
ing Higher Education.
The following resolutions wer
passed without a dissenting voice
and adopted of record, by the Parent
Teacher Association at the meeting
held on April 18th and is worthy
of the utmost consideration by all
of the residents of Malhur County
The resolutions are self explanatory
and are indicative of the interest
that is taken in this county on these
issues of the hour, an interest and
action that ha been similarly taken
by vry civic and public spirited
body thruout the whole of Malhaua
County. Th resolution follow:
1. Whereas it ia clearly evident
that our state of Oregon has arrived
at a crucial moment in her education
al life, a moment when failur I
att and-provide for th emergency
would mark a retrogressive turn
which would jeopardize the economic,
industrial, and social as well as edu
cational futur of the state.
t. And wher as, it is the consen
su of this Association that th
young men and women of Oregon
should b preserved, by an intelligent
citizenry, in their iust and inalienable
right to higher education, of a suit
able and progressive type, within
their own state; and thst they can
be preserved in this right only by
an adequate financial provision for
standard eauioment. for the all-
around standard accommodation of a
constantly increasing enrollment, and
for the ' maintenance of the present
high-grade of instruction at the Uni
versity of Oregon, the Oregon Agri-
' cultural College and the State .Nor
mal School:
8. And whereas, it is the consensus
- " o.duvii,wwh . v ut-u
soldiers, sailors, and marines, who
gladly discontinued their studies or
severed their connections with lucra
tive positions and placed their lives
at stake, in order that the institu- '
tions and ideals of their state and
country might be maintained in un
bounded usefulness and vigor, it ia
th least wa of the State of Oregon
can do as reward for their brav
unselfish services, to forward them,
through an,, equal .measure, in their
purpose of continuing their educa
tion; . : - -
4. And whereas, it is the consensus
of this Association that our "whole
educational aystom is threatened"
tareug. aay further denial to our
aaahra f wag adquat to pro
faaatonal act va llviag need aad
that Osagoai will eon, if she dec
aot receive the immediate and prac
tical assistance of her vitally inter
ested citizens- drop hopelessly behind
her neighbor states in her power to
secur standard instruction for her
boys and girls, whose demands are

consensus
there is at
present represented not only a duty.
but an opportunity for the state ef
Oregon for th accomplishment of
ultimata economy, in the measure to
provide an employment institution
for th adult blind, to be located in
Portland, wherein the sightless may
reeeiv such instruction as will rea
der them self-supporting and inde
pendent members of society!
0. And whereas, to meet several
pressing needs there are now befor
tha people of the state of Oregon
four wise educational measure
which, if favorably voted, will ad
mirably provide against catastrophe
to our stat aima, obligations, and
pride those measures which ar
known as the College Millage Tax.
th Soldiers' Educational Aid, the
2-Mill Elementary School Tax, and
tha Blind School Millage Tax;
T. And whereas, . each of thes
measures, by its equable provisions,
constitutes no actual sacrifice or
hardship to any voter, but on th
contrary, is calculated to eeeur ou
higher dueatioaal institutions, f
which w are at present justly proud,
our teaching forces, who deserve our
una tie ted loyalty and aid, our sol
diaM'Sailor, and marines, who have
erd ur dpeet gratitude, our
adult bliad. who if rendered economi
cally iadepeadent become pledge to
one dnt bs of obligation toward
all.ur cltlsenry; is calculated to
secure all these inestimable benefit
which will, in turn, accrue to th
ntir stat itself, capital and Inter-eft,-
in present accomplishment and
in promise of steady, praise-worthy
future development;
8. Therefore, be it resolved, that
wa, the Oregon Parent-Teachers As
sociation, do earnestly sanction and
will heartily support, with tha full
strength of our organization, the
College Millage Tax, the Soldiers'
Educational Aid, the 2-Mill School
Tax and th Blind School Mlllag
Tax,' which measures have been re
ferred to tha people of Oregon, for
