Of the unnumbered thousands un employed this' winter many face the spring as unemployablcs. That is the penalty of idleness for the indi vidual; one loses the power to labor effectively. And because it goes against the grain to let. even unem ployables starve, the social cost of supporting those rendered inept by gruelling poverty of the. past winter will bear upon all of ub. In return for this pain and this burden, what have wo learned? Nothing apparently that wise men did not know before or that they could have learned from books up on the subject. The sole gain is a re awakening of the desire to overcome tile evils or unemployment and it be hooves all interested persons to seize this hour tor action betore the public forgets. There are four lines of uttnek. In dustry can be regularized with a view to doing away with "rush" seasons, stretching production over the entire year tno so taking up part of the present lack of unemployment. This is the particular field of the employ- era, a lew ot wnom nave already dem onstrated how much can be done by a polcy aimed at regularity of em ployment. Labor bureaus .can be made res ponsible and efficient pnd at the same time operated for social instead of personal profit. The biggest gain of the year has been the linking up of postoffices and labor bureaus. In order to make the system effective, however, there must be a special commissioner sitting at Washington, a man fully as competent as the head of any trust in the country to mobilize the surplus labor power of the country and apply it to construc tive enterprises. Thirdly, public works can be under taken at periods, when private in dustry is curtailed. This has already been practiced in Great Britain anil Uermany. Literlly there is no end to the constructive work necessary upon this continent and the climatic range is such that labors are not checked by winter. Finally, there is need for unem ployment insurance as a last resort, Three million Englishmen, their em ployers and the government contri bute to a national fund from which in slack times men out of work draw small stipends sufficient to keep body and soul together. With the other three plans in operation few occa sions should develop for unemployed insurance, nevertheless the social sav ing of BUch insurance should not be overlooked. It is frequently the case that the ! man who discourses : with such elo quence on the pleasures and benefits of walking has p'ust decided after careful computation that he can't af- tord an automobile.

La Grande April 1 (To the Editor) Just a few line as a reminder to some of the tree owners who have been negligent about cleaning up the diseased pear and apple trees, that are infected with pear blight. Would like to say that we are making a strenuous effort to eliminate all in-, fected branches before blossoming time. A great deal of work has been done this winter in the County along these lines and there are only a few who have not cleared up thor oughly. It is for the interest and good of the community that each one should thoroughly inspect their trees and cut out and burn all dis eased branches. The cutting of dis eased branches below the source of inspection is the only remedy known' for blight, and it is by this means tnat we expect to elliminate the var ious sources of . infection before the blossoming time. The amount of worK and amount of blight that we have this summer will depend upon the thoroughness with which the work is done at this time. If all live blight 'will be cut out and burned Tip. !fore blossoming time we would not nave to be bothered with blight dur iing the summer season, but when n few leave some trees as a breeding grourtd, it makes it impossible to completely eliminate the disease irom our county. Our inspectors will be around, but we hope to have the suppot and cooperation of the various tree owners without the nec essity of resorting to law enforce ment, uccasionally we, have to re sort to this means in order to ac- iuuijiumi. uie uesireu end.
