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'

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. Military tran-'i. .,: i. r K,....i .i.oush
