TIIU SEVENTH COMMANDMENT: Thou' fih.ilt not com
mit adultery. Exodus 2:14.
One angle of social unrest is best typified by a small
boy with an unspent nickel in his pocket.
For two whole hours recently in Paris the telephone
operators had a record of no wronjy number connections.
'They were on strike.
Wallowa county stages a real fair every year and gets
c lot of kick out of it while providing the same thing for
a host of its people. They claim it is the best fair in
Eastern Oregon and there are few comers to deny the fact.
It is the big community event of the year in that valley
and is attracting each of the big days this week at least
a third of the county's population. Affairs in which such
interest is taken and' such high r.lass competition is se
cured cannot fail to be both entertaining and beneficial.
La Grande and Union county people should pay a neigh
borly visit to the Wallowa fair each year.

Hut Air. Iluney is not alone in his efforts. Other mem
bers of the board voting with him yesterday to remove
most of Palmer's authority showed that they are con
vinced llaney is right in his fight for a new government
.shipping policy. And in perfect sympathy with them is a
largo, very large group of citizens who believe our shipping
interests are of much greater importance than the present
Palmer program would indicate. It is a source of regret
lhat Mr. Hancy and President Coolidge should have had
this difference. T.ut Coolidge and Palmer have apparently
taken the stand that the sooner our ships are sold and got
rid of and off the high seas the better off the country
will be. llaney and a majority of the commissioners with
him contend that it means a gradual removal of American
ships from foreign trade and a tremendous loss to this
country in original cost and in potential wealth. The next
question since Palmer has been deprived of his power
is what will the administration do about it? Oregon is
vitidly interested in shipping and Oregon is watching the

The zoning by streets was dis
continued years ago os we have
no assurance of the number of
pupils for tho different grades;
therefore, at times one grade
might be overcrowded while the
others have too few. so the rule
is a limit of thirty-six pupils to
one teacher, and the teachers of
the same gi title in other schools
to be given the overflow, using
the children who Mvo nearest the
school selected, regardless of any
other conditions.

TUB AIR SERVICE INVESTIGATION.
There is much discussing of air service problems in
Washington these days and about an equal measure of
cussing, it seems. As a matter of fact, there is a prre:;t
deal of charges and counter charges being hurled back ami
forth that is failing to accomplish very much. Many peo
ple over the country are in sympathy with Colonel .Mitchell
in his crusade because he has nerve enough to get up on
his hind legs and toll the world what he thinks ii'wronjc.
But that isn't the vital factor in the present inquiry. What
the country wants from this board appointed by President
Coolidge is a thorough investigation of air service condi
tions and, more important than that, of air service neeh
