FARMERS IS X BALANCE WHEEL Indications are now that It Is up to ' the Farmers Union of Oregon to enter j politics1 and save the credit and the ! name of this fair state. If Oregon does not have a balance wheel in opera-! tlon very soon the momentum of her present course will cause her to fly to pieces like a Joint snake, v Someone will say "such a state ment means opposition to the people's measures." Not true, Oregon wants all of the present measures that bring? legislation close- to the people, but ha xnuat have a balance wheel to guide such legislation. ; Recent lajs enacted are already beginning to be fuddle the entire commonwealth. The supreme court is at sea and Is calling on all attorneys in the state for opinions.'.;-.- ';''; ";"'. When politics get in a chaotic condi tion who U the countsy at large al ways calls upon T The farmers, every time, because as a rule a farmer's personal benefit means a benefit to the entire people. His life is such that he is free to look upon public questions without bins and prejudice, . Now.. Oregon ' Is' right close up against a brick wall Ina publlo way Shall the farmers' organize and take a hand in the state's affairs. By all means, yes. Send farmers to the leg islature and to congress. By all means yes." Send farmers to the legislature and to congress. Discard this Idea of election no one but an attorney to office. It is a dangerous precedent And it Is up to the Farmers Union and the kindred organizations to be gin the work of cutting out useless commissions and cutting down a state pay roll that promises to bankrupt the commonwealth If permitted to increase the way it has been goln'gi. We "would like toee the Farmers Union now In session In La Grande pass resolutions of a political nature setting forth neede Preforms In the state and Instead of putting legisla tion up to the people as a whole put It up to the taxpaylng public. PROSPERITY STILL WITH US. ' Profit taking In the New York stock I market yesterday caused . a loss of some of the heavy gains made Monday but the action of the market is, on the whole, much improved when com pared with the sluggishness that vas so pronounced during the cloBln dars of 19J0. The general financial and corc , merclal situation. In spite of the wail . of the pessimist is rapidly improving and indications for even a more pros perous year than. 1910 are plentiful. Money is easier and foreign lenders are again Inquiring for American se curities, although the uncertainty re pardlng legislation la 'handicapping the sale of railroad bonds and stocks. There Is, however, a large amount of idle money in this country. -Numerous millions and billions of this money are represented In bur Immense crops of agricultural products, and there ar mors millions that have been stored away through fear that the recovery from the panic of 1907 had been too rapid. ' ' ' Wall street's regular disbursement of January dividends this year amount. ed to more than $200,000,000, and as GEORGE TAUTER, FRes. W. L. BRE.MIOLT S, Asst. Cash F. L. MEYERS .Cashier. F.

For the past two years on the Paci fic coast there has been a steady How of neiw capital for use In railroad and other Industrial enterprises. New capi tal has been brought here, also by the thousands , of new , settlers who are opening up long neglected' localities (ln Oregon, Washington and Idaho. - The presence of this money, which in the aggregate reaches an immense total, has worked wonders In main taining the financial equilibrium for the Pacific northwest. With now fiA. velopment m all lines of industry pro ceeding on a greater scale than ever, nothing short of a world-wide finan cial cataclysm can check the prosper ity of this region. There are so many powerful influences working for the continued prosperity of this city and state, and the adverse influences are so Insignificant' and few, that the op- jportunlty for the pessimist In this field Is sadly lacking.

No more Is it possible than it is to find the perieci man. wo matter how rood a section of the country may look, no matter how well It may stand close' Investigation, you can be sure tha,t with long acquaintance it will devel op Its faults. . This was forcefully brought to mind when George L. Cleaver resumed from Colorado a few days ago and handed the editor of the Observer a printed Invitation and program for a "grasshopper meeting" which was held In Greely. Colorado about , a year ago, The cause, for calling this meeting was the damage done grow ing crops the year preceding by grass hoppers and other pests. The situa tion "was a serious one and It becarao necessary to take concerted action. , Colorado people were too wise to publish these faults to the wide world. They, viewed them as unfor tunate things that sometimes happen In the family nnd worked tnwnrdly to correct them. And while It was pests In Colorado, it Is something else in other localities.'' No place f sactly Put's. "And the moral to this little Illus tration It th's: If there Is a man in this CronC? Poml val!ev vhn Is prore. to against the country, who believes that elsewhere things are better, that the sun shines bright er in California or that the wheat grows better In Canada, for goodness sake let him move at once. This val ley Is not wholly perfect but to the misguided people who think there are so much better localities let us say, you are . mistaken. There is not a place on God's footstool where a man can make his living so easily, there is not a place where merit counts for more than right here in this valley. Think over the Colorado jpests, the Montana : blizzards, the" ; Nebraska drouths, the California . floods and then 'either repent for your knocking orsell off your belongings and move to the country of your choice.
