Poets' Corner t 1 i j LA (.'KANDK'S AIMIOHY. 1 The failure of the bill for an appropriation that would i make possible- an iiimory for La Grande is a source of :; disappointment to those who have interested themselves in the project hero. It was a deserved expenditure, in' our (minion, nnd rm-luiii t,i i'n,j-iit nvmini- .ii, ,,... 1 1 u.. in. J , ..i... .v, iin.nu I'll ,lil v, ,11 fii'inv: time in tho near future. i : Defeat, of tho measure came probably as the result of i two conditions in the legislature. One had to do with lack :. of funds, which is always a primary consideration in the '. minds of thoughtful legislators and constitutes sufficient ( reason under almost uny ciicumstances for disapproval of ; an appropriation, lhe otjier is due to a common fcelinjt ? among the votois generally, ..that any appropriation of : state funds to bo spent in one particular locality is a pat i ronage and therefore to be shunned as much ns possible I unless it will affect the voter's own town or county, i An armory is a rtate necessity and not a state patron : i'ge. Nothing ia more essential to the continued welfare of the state mid nation than proper provision for training I our National Guard units. Although we do not believe in extreme military development and preparation, wo do favor constant and careful attention to the making of an effi- dent citizen soldiery. From the standpoint of state and national protection, there can be no substitute for guard) j oigHiiizalioii:-. and training.. And an armory is absolutely! 5 necessary for that work. j Here in La Grande wheie the guaid oigauization if r Eastern Oicg.ui is centered, theie is a particular need for' i rimory facilities and every effort should be made locally to maintain interest in the pi eject and to seeuiv the fu.l ; percentage of local fond.; for the building. If that i.s done, litate action uill be forced to fol'ow in a comparatively ' short lime. ) There is much that cm be said in favor of state economy , but there is such a thing as true economy and false economy. Delay of the expenditure at the present time may be advisable, but any failure to provide adequ.it" 1 aimory facilities for the state, either in I.:t Ornmlo or olh, ; cities, in the near future is false economy.
