THE CHAUTAUQUA AS A BENEFACTOR,
Yesterday was Pioneer Day in La Grande, yet there are
others who are still pioneering. T lie day of well-rounded Chau
tauqua is in its infancy. Its day of pioncership is still here.
It is but a stone's throw backward to the day when men jour- j
rieyed far to Chautauqua on Lake Erie's shores and listened
to the best that could bo assembled in music and oratory. To-1
day the Chautauqua has pushed its way to the very dooryard or ,
the populace and it is but a step from the home doorstep to the I
threshold of the modern Chautauqua. La Grande was the
pioneer Chautauqua town in Eastern Oregon, and always will I
lead the following. The necessity of a chautauqua is long ago J
established. It has come to stay. Its influence is widespread
and varied, for he who enjoys music finds it there; he who revels
in philosophy satisfies his hungry soul, and he who wants the
lighter vein finds it there. It is a school, a university, if you
please, and that La Grande is a pioneer in tluit commendable
movement adds to the laurels of its citizenship. That commun
ity and county support is justified,' all realize; that its financial
side must not be neglected is another indisputable fact. Unity
of action, co-operation of rural and urban acres are each and all
needed. No profit in doUars and cents can accrue but dollars and
cents must not be forgotten for they are a very essential factor.
Those who are stuttering about finding the means to purchase
tickets should tarry no more, it is a part of La Grande's noble
institutions and must be supported.
EXAMINING HACK HONKS
An editorial writer in the Portland Orcgonion, after com
menting critically upon the woman's jury bill and the marriage
restriction bill on the special election ballot, in an exhausted
and apparently disgusted manner throws up his hands . and
pleads to have a backbone examiner for legislators so that such
traBh Will be killed in the session and not be put to me people,
By all means, have the backbone examiner for legislators
and all other public officials and editorial- and news writers.
Then elect men to office on the record of their backbones. '
But women arc now eligible to hold office, you know, and
would the Oreconian insist on. tho same rigid examination for
the ladies. Perhaps tho editorial writer does, and perhaps he
would qualify as tho examiner.

UNFAIR COMPARISONS
The following editorial is taken
from The I-iallcs Chronicle:
Kor a number of weeks the Oregon
Voter has been filled with tables' re
lating to taxes in the various political
sub divisions of the state. Tax to
tals have been given, eotnjMrisons
made and percentages shown! until
anyone who has tiled to study them
as cuine out with a headache.
In all this tax business Mend has
been made rather a sorrv figure. The
mbinrd rate for the city, if we re
member correctly, is. shown by Mio
oters tables lo Im exceeded only bv
the rile in I'rmeville. The city per-
entnge is one of the highest in the
slate and the fact is thrust into tbe
leader's fuv by the published comparisons.
Hie preparation and publication of
ill these figures is uudoiibtedlv a' jov
lo the editor of the Voter, lie eats
statistics for breakfast, lunches on
figures, in the evening makes a '
hearty meal of peivenUigest spends i

The (ialloping (Jaoopa.
If you have ever made a close study
of u hobby horse, gentle reader, you
Hhould huve n clear conception o
how the galloping gazoopa looks when
in motion. It is almost constantly on
the go but never gets anywhere to
speak of, in which respect .it resem
bles a prominent citizen of llilgard.
Ore. I first niet up with the gallop
ing gazoopa while floiting down
classic O'recn river. The exact date
escapes me for then once, but If mem
ory serves me right It was prior to
July 1, 1010- So far as .the writer
knows, the guzoopa is the only mem
ber of the animal kingdom which goes
in for a .polk-i-dottcn complexion.
These polka dots are about as large
as oriinnrv rifle targets, 'mid, while
it might seem that would render- it
an easy mark for hunters such is' dot
Uie case. On the contrary, the polkn
dot serves as i-v protection because,
while the himter is milking up his
mind which one to shoot at, the
gazoopu gallops away to safety.
Freckles may have their place, but
it. does seem too bad tu cluster them

Push and tio.
"Here, boy," s-iid the wealthy mo
torist, "I want some gasoline and
get a move on. lou. will ne
anywhere in the wirld 'unless vou
have push. When I was young I
pushed and that is what got, me
where I' inn."
"Well, guvnor," said ' the boy, "1
reckon you'll have to push again

the various millac.es may not he com
pared, and any fan or just or accur-
ite cor.clusions drawn until the dif
ferent ratios are taken into account.
The Bend nnll.ige i-. high and the
reason for it, as we have so innnv
ttmes pointed'' out, is the couinilta-
ively low assessed valu'ition. Our
ounty ratio' is ."it percent. Let, the
Voter put Ocscliules and all the
tther counties on a 100 per civit bas

"Mother," asked the little boy, "when
the fire goes out, where docs it go?"
"I don't know, dear," answered the
mother. "You might just us well ask
me where your father goes when he
goes out.''
