After" holding several meetings with the governor it w;is
found possible to borrow n million and a half dollars from
the Soldiers' fund to loan to ranchers for seed money and
.to take a mortgage back on thy crop for return of Ihcj
money to the state treasury. "
This prompted the governor's message and without,
doubt some such measure will at once go thiough both
houses.
But the governor had his ears pointed straight up, for,
while sincerely endeavoring to help the wheat grower ho
saw an opportunity to admonish the session to another
thing. With his message on the wheat seed money ho
coupled a message on the abolishment of tho Public Utili
ties commission that, coming as it did entirely unexpected,
caused most of the utilities lobbyists to pass'on ''from shock.
The chief executive smiled as ho finished his message in
wheat and then he proceeded to lambast the present Public
Utilities commission in several paragraphs of well-chosen
English, closing by telling the legislature to pass h law
liermitting disiiict development of electric power. As he
folded hi;; manuscript he looked over the large ciowd witli
one df his most jovial expressions, for he wilized he had
caught the boys napping and had landed a pretty heavy
blow ight over the heart.
ASKS FUNDS FOR
CHRISTIANS IN
THE NEAR EAST
Hpeaklng at Hot Iake Kunday
evening due to hospitality of Dr.
W. 1'. i'hy, regarding the situation
In the Near Kast, Miss Marie Na
delhoffpr of Portland read the fol
lowing telegaina Jufat received from
the foreign field;
"No American seeing situation
would approve continual failure
provide adequately for refugee
camp children. Karnestly. beg you
endeavor securo emergency funds
to provide one meal dally during
next six months for additional ten
thousand of 25,000 neediest refugee
camp children."
Also a telegram received from J.
J. Jlandsaker, Northwest Hegional
Director, read as follows: "Our in
ability to meet fully situation

causing most serious suffering,
(lave distributed million and quar
ter pieces clothing among refugees
but situation now one of meeting
uctual starvation. Thousands chil
dren now hungry in cold Mace
donian camps becoming stunted
mentally, physically, also moral
ly crippled by circumstances."
"Could Americans suffer for one
day as do our wards, the children
of Christian martyrs In the Near
Kast," said Miss Nadelhoffer.
-'these frightful conditions need not
exist."
Ameiieaits Generous
Near East relief was launched on
a heart throb. It was motivated
by pity of the A in er lean pAoplu for
a persecuted race. The American
people have been generous toward
a great need. They have shown
great confidence for; a period of
eight years. Americans have hon
ored that confidence by an honest
tidminititrutton of their trust, which
enn be attested by financial ex
perts, annual reports to congress
j and the books.

I he job and continue the cure of
these children to whom we have
pledged suppori until maturity, we
iniiKt have more money In greater
quantities than ever," Miss Nadel
hofier stated. '
"lb seems a small amount to
iisk," suld Dr. Thy at the close of
the service, "Just one meal a day
for starving children and If each
eison in Union county will do his
Just share, perhaps we can send
(hem more than that. It Is to be
noted that If the people, some of
whom are not very well, can do as
well vs they diav this evening
with generous contributions, those
who are In good health can re
spond equally woll."

THERK were few yho
sliarcd the faith of the
pioneers who uiulertook the de
vclopment of tlie telephone.
With an infant art to nourish
constantly hy new discovery and
invention, and handicapped hy
scanty capital and pnhlic apathy,
they held to their vision of a
nation-wide service.
Nearly two score years ago,
when the telephones of the
I'nited States wore fewer than
those of a single New York
horongh today, the business was
organized essentially like the
Pell System of the present. That
is: a central advisory staff, a
central scientific organization
devoted to development and re
search, a central department to
promote progress in operating 1
technique, a central source of
supply of standardized material,
local operating companies fa
miliar with local needs, and
a national net-work of lines
interconnecting these com
panies. Telephone pioneers planned
this organization structure, be
lieving it necessary for efficient
and economical national service.
The nation's experience has
proved flSe clearness of their
vision.
