Irrespective of what the motive may be back of the tax meeting planned for Dec. 4. the general Dlstnu the idea Is a good one. The Budget. idea of the law Is to give the people a chance to discuss proposed county expendi tures before those expenditures are made. That Is the time to discuss them and to make suggestions to the county court. After projects have been undertaken and the money Is spent it is too late to accomplish any thing by objecting. As pointed out by Judge Maloney the court wishes advice from the tax payers of the county. There are prob lems in regard to which the court is in doubt One such subject is that of employing a farming expert for the county. The meeting planned will give farmers a chance to express their views on the question. Generally speaking if the farmers wish such a man employed and think they can get value received from such a man this county should secure such an expert as many other Oregon coun ties have done. But if farmers are not Interested in the proposal or think no proper results could be ob tained it would assuredly be a waste of time and money for Umatilla county to take up the plan. The same principle applies with reference to other expenditures. The valae of the meeting to discuss the budget will naturally depend up on the representation at the meeting. A small gathering representing but one section or some element favoring or opposing a particular proposal would be of little influence. Therefore those who are planning the meeting will do well if they work to secure a big attendance representative of all parts of the county so that all sides may be heard from. The fact there la contracting at thla time for next year's wheat at $l-per bushel or more gives Xcxt Vemr's Indications of high Wheat Price, prices following the next harvest. The sit uation of course Is due to the war. At the present time there is a strong de mand for foodstuffs for the waning nations and the demand is shown by quotations around $1.40 Pr bushel fur wheat in Liverpool. All Indications at present certainly point to hlKh prices next year. Lord Kitchener has seemingly not changed tiits view that the war will last three years. The fortunes of war thus far have not been extremely favorable to either side. Germany was not able to successfully invade France but has been extremely successful in holding lielglum and If the end of the war awalu the conquering of Germany by the allies the struggle will be long drawn out. Hut even should the war end in the near future there will still be a scar city of wheut because Europe, ac cording to ull reports, will not have it irup In The Kun.ptun nations are t usy r: litniK. nut In farming. In tills ei u'itry. however, utid doubtless la uiln r countries free from strife, preparations are on for placing an unusually large acreage in wheat How far that tendency is being fol lowed and how much can be done In that way towards meeting the short age, can only be surmised. It may be taken for granted of course that buy ing Interests will use the IncreaseJ acreage talk to bear prices next sum mer. Tet even at that it is difficult to see how prices can fall to be above normal and if the war continues un abated it will be strange if this year's wheat prices are not surpassed. The outlook is bright for the weatgrower and for the woolman. Why are there no empty houses in Pendleton and why are new houses being built here Why Pendleton constantly when so Thrives. many other north west towns complain of vacant houses and lack of build ing operations? A big part of the answer, in the view of this paper, lies in the fact Pendleton followed a very moderate course several years ago when many other towns were nourishing booms. Consequently there was no over growth here and no resultant slump. But that la not all of the story. Other factors have contributed strongly to the upbuilding of the city. The location of the state hospital here has had a bearing on the situ ation. The Round-up has brought People to Pendleton and widely ad vertised the place. The building of the new high school Immensely strengthened our school plant and caused additional families to come here to secure the educational ad vantages of the place. The mountain water system is another asset and It will continue to be such in the fu ture. It Is also evident that the freight terminal when established here will be a substantial boon to Pen dleton. The high prices prevailing for wheat mean prosperity to the city and there are other factors working for the advancement of the com munity. All told the outlook for the future is favorable indeed. To theGermans their cause is Just, their conscience clear. No such out burst of lofty To the Germans enthusiasm for Their Cause is Just Kaiser and c o u ntry would have been possible had there been onywhere as serious doubts as troub led, in England, Charles Trevelyan, Ramsay MacDonald, John Burns and Lord ilorley.

To this Perkins agreed. "We opened Perkins' paper Satur day night. It contained the inscrip tion, 'A coffin.'

After three months, peace among the warring nations seems farther off than ever. The situatln has grown more complicated through the en trance of the Moslem Into the con flict. Yet the longing for peace must be as fervent in the heart of every human being as before. Yes, even more so as the roll of the dead, of the wounded ,and of the bereaved grows apace from day to day and the destruction Inseparable from mod ern warfare engulfs everything. The German government, which never wanted anything else but peace, met the overtures of our government for mediation in an appreciative spir it. Her reply that she could not sub mit to any terras of peace because the agreement of England with France and Russia that they would not deal separately with Germany and her al ly, rendered it impossible for the two last mentioned nations to take the in itiative in the proposed mediation seemed logical and unanswerable. It became so absolutely after Eng land had also drawn Japan Into the fight. Then, too, the petty nations, Servia, Montenegro and Belgium, will want to be heard and their demands will be backed by the more powerful allies on the English side. And Tur key must now also be consulted. Under these circumstances the j : hands of Germany are tied. England jg and her six allies, with or through m whom she commenced her war up on Germany, must first of all come to an agreement among themselves In regard to what overtures of peace they will subit to the mediatory pow er. Germany cannot deal with any one of seven different powers so long as the seven under the lead of Eng land are pledged to act together, not only In war but In negotiations for peace. Germans are a peace-loving people and want permanent peace even If thy must fight for it, and In this re spect the German government simply reflects the sentiment of the German people. But Germany also wants her Just rights, even though she must fight for them, and such has always been her history. The same spirit prevails among Am erican citizens of German anteced ents. This was shown by the ready response of some German-Americans who were recently invited to Join the world peace commute which was formd by Mr. William Randolph Hearst in furtherance of his brilliant nation-wide demonstration In favor of an early cesatlon of the unspeak- In this emergency stood for peace un til the last moment, moving only when Russian perfidy compelled him to.

The public actually trem bled lest the Kaiser hold off too long, and when he moved he seemed to them of Olympian stature. His lan guage, bombastic as It may have ap peared abroad, was pitched to the key-note of the hour; one heard for the first time praise of him as unser lieber, guter Kaiser. He .stood for the whole people when he opened the war session of the Reichstag and, with his great sense of dramatic val ues, called upon its leaders to come forward and place their hands In his even the socialists, whom he had dubbed traitors to the country in a speech at the Krupp works but a few years before. All this at the very moment that battalions in every town and city were marching, singing, to the front and Von Emmlch's divisions without waiting for siege-guns or re servists, were victoriously assaulting Liege.
