Jnli 3:11, 17. 'With the legislature and congress both adjourned spring; business should start off with a rush , , . Judges, apparently, will not get a salary increase, Some of these days the legislature may convene to find that all of our now capable jurists have returned to private practice where they can earn, an income in keeping with the profes sion. : , The income tax bill has passed the legislature. The ma jority by which it was approved in the senate is evidence that the rates are moderate, that it will be as near an unobjec tionable law as an income tax can be. When properly under stood we are confident it will not seriously retard the invest ment of' new capital. More important than that is the fact that it will help put the state on a cash basis again so that the numerous improvements, many of them too long delayed, can be inaugurated for Oregon's advancement. The tithing bill or some similar revenue legislation Will complete the relief program the legislature will go home Oregon will heave a sigh of relief and get down to work. - ' , . . - - i - ; DEAR SPACE GRAFTERS f tin this day of telegraphic news service, of excellent news apVr urticle,' of abundant and highly interesting local ,ahd state news it would seem that the limited capacity of any newspaper, small or large, would be somewhat generally rec ognized by those tempted to indulge in "space grafting." ' But tjuch is not the easel. There still remains and always will a considerable percentage.,of people who sincerely believe hat newspapers need something to "fill, up the paper," and ithey rush happily to find that something. V ' ,4; Sometimes it is merely an article, VrigiiuU' or otherwise, jto satisfy a personal whim.' Usually, however, it closely njv prouches free advertising disguised cleverly or poorly as news. To get stuff of that kind printed in newspapers free of charge is the work of publicity agents, a breed of writers now, employed by' big corporations and special interests at fancy salaries in proportion to their success at space grafting. U The Observer's mail is flooded' with propaganda of this variety, in spite .of the fact that information is available to anyone in the country to the effect that we have an Associ ated Press leased wire, the NEA feature service, and various other minor features .in' addition to local and county news "Staffs nil providing valuable and interesting matter for which we pay many thousands of dollars a year. The news paper no longer seeks or wants or needs the free bunk with which its columns may be "filled up." Neither do its read ers. Something for nothing in the newspaper business is as dangerous a practice as in any other work. There is always an ax seeking to be ground somewhere in all free "news mat ter" so ardently submitted; and newspaper people are quick to find it in most instances. ; . A fraternal organization recently offered cash prizes to members who Could secure the most free publicity in their local paper, particular credit being given for items mention ing their insurance department. A plain case of space graft ing. How much more effective would le the effort if the money spent for prizes, for publicity agent, for circulariz ing lodges and members, were invested in paid advertising of real dignity and foice. This is one bald example. Actual news is desired, is welcomed. Hut it is often jeo pardized by those seeking to edge over the boundary. Local and state news is of particular value and is given particular emphasis in The Observer. Our readers are willing to look elsewhere for propaganda and we are in perfect accord with their desires. .Safety ' Comfortably TRAVEL DT MOTOR STAGS Leave I,a Grande tor Joseph 9:00 A.M. 4:00 P.M.

And one of the chief reasons why they have come and why they are within the reach of the humblest home is the power of advertising. Advertising has carried the news of these better ways of doing things to every home. . It has created a desire to possess them, and countless thousands have purchased them, and live better because of them. Reading advertising not only tells you about new, helpful mechanical devices for the home, but it is an unfqiling guide to reliable products. Read advertising regularly. It points the way to better living. ; Thpsn four women, nil now soi vlnc In the Utah hnue of rep rrwninttveH. nrntent the r.inite nf fenilni.Hiu in Unit mate.
