Settling of Patronage
There is little use to kick or com
plain or to praise the handing out of
political patronage in this Hay a no'
age. It is different from years ago
when a whole comnuinily took sided
and fought it out as to who should
be postmaster or some other officer.
Nowadays the Associated I'rci.i
tells the story of who wins and tho
next dny everything is quid and peo-
pic have forgotten almut the offices
or officers. j
The days of nursing grudges or
holding jn high esteem the eongress-
man who delivers Uie pacrtngn ticdj
up with a neat blue ribbon are ail!
over.
It is probably just as well, for
many men who have prominent plac
es in public life nowadays refuse t
give endorsements of candidates or
take part in the apportioning of
places.
This was in evidence when Kdgar H.
(Piper, of the Oregoninn, probably
the ono mun in position In the state
to have urged appointments, refused
to take a mind! iu the recent federal
job contest even though his brother
was a candidate.
We are living differently, socially
and politically. Perhaps it is better
perhaps not. Those were good old
days when primaries were held andj
the candidate for postoffiee who car
ried his precinct for the congressman)
felt that his bucccss was assiiced. Itj
at least gave pep to polities. Much
an those days were interesting they
have gone forever and henceforth pol-j
iticnl patronage is a liability to anyj
officer rather than an asset. '
Eastern Oregon shakes out of the
recent federal job-giving with no iin-!
portnnl place all jobs have been giv-
ell to Portland and the Willamette
valley, demonstrating again that the'
country east of the mountains is a-'i
adopted child in Oregon and is largely
fit for taxpaying in (lie eyes of tho
lower country

ranchers had lots of hogs to sell theyj
were more prosperous. Hut the tren
was to bigger things and they hit into!
cattle and sheep, leaving the hog
houses to rot and go down. We all
know what has happened tn the cat'lo
ami sheep business, and now everyone!
wants hogs. J
Over in Union'. part of the county
people are paying premiums to get,
hogs to feed. Barley is low aud wheat
that will not s'and the test is low

What we need is a constant stream
of hogs going to market from the e

Some fanners say, "We tried and
lost money." Of course you (fid aud
you have tried other things and lost'
money.
No one is smalt enough to mak-j
money on everything all the time. Hut j
hogs, one year with another, is as
safe a business as one can find. Ask'
the man who has stuck to the hojjj
und see what he says.
Hogs don't require herders iwr
camp tenders; they don't require au-j
tomobilcs, neither do they require highj
priced land or a big outlay for rang.'.'
And the hog comes nearer staying
in harmony with the price of feedj
than any other animal. When feelj
iu low hogs will he low, but let fee.li
advance and the hog price respond;'
quicker by far than does the price'
of any other meat animal.
