HOW TO END UNEMPLOYMENT.
Spring crumbles the bread line. In
b little while the tragedy of unem
ployment will be at nn end for the
time being. But unless remedial
stops are taken it will recur next win
ter and the year after. Quick trans
portation, machine perfection divi
sion of labor and seasonal produc
tion increase the fluidity of labor.
Because there is more work to do in
the summer than in the winter and be-

What This Bank Aims to Do
To promote our customers' interests as we would our own;
To do all we can to make their relations here profitable
and agreeable to them;
To contribute to their enterprises, the co-operation, fore
sight and timely assistance which a good Bank can
properly bestow.
cause cities are foci points of human
endeavor, casual laborers flee thith
er before Jack Frost.
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.
