The action has been takrm by virtue of an old statute which provides for closing when the revenue from the office fails to measure up lo certain standard.;. That policy and the executive action that has carried i-j into effect on the I.a Grande territory cannot be hacked) by sound judgment. : Government land offices, while they are 'neiidly self supporting, and should be over a considerable period of time, were created for the seirice they may render citi zens and not for any revenue the government may or may not receive from them. To transfer the work of the local land office to The Dalles and consolidate the work of the two offices is supposed to be an economy. Actually it will result in greater expense to those doiii"; business with lh land office because their fees, which support the office, will not bo reduced and the time and expense necessary to visit The Dalles is greater. And the office exists fof public service. Theoretically the business run be done by mail, the government states, but actually this is not true, otherwise one land office at Washington, D. U.( would be sufficient for the country. Whether or not the land office can bo re-established in La Grande remains to be seen, but the government oiicv ' of service should make that action possible. If a strict policy of economy, and that only, is to supercede one of service, the government faces a program of eliminatm" half of the rmall post offices of the country, all rural routes, and most city free delivery. Obviously such action would be absurd and contrary to the wishes of the publir to whose service our nation's officials are pledged. T.r 'same rule should apply to government offices which con trol a large amount of public lands. . A liia-aihlr woman n-knl liei husband fnr t lar;e diamond, ami do '.no lirr (he ace.
