'' KEKKiNATlO.V "Job muse mil said. Naked eunio
I out ov niy niolher's wuinli and nuked shall I return llillher:
the Ixrd Kiive. ami tile Lord hath taken uwny: blessed be the
liame of the Lord." Job 1:20,--1.
j, Legislators are no different from the other people. We are
xll inclined to loaf along on a job as it gets under way, then
'work like Trojans when the time limit nears and cuss out
'the world in general if circumstances urge a few days over
time, All of the work that has been done or will be done
could well have been' accomplished in the allotted forty days
but to actually do it would show the world a model legis
lature and Oregon has political fame enough.
' Patterson's veto of the Wilson toll road bill should be
agreeable to everyone not expecting to use such a route every
day. The toll road is all right, but the disturbance of the
highway program to the extent of some two million dollars
for this short stretch is all wrong. It would still not be too
objectionable if experience did not teach us that after a year
or two of tolls the motoring public would force the adoption
of free usage. Not tolls, but regular highway, funds would
eventually pay for the road and there are more logical
places for the expenditure of the money at this particular
time.:. ' ' '
'
' RECOGNITION FOR I'UUNBS . '
With a $300,000 advertising campaign launched in its
behalf, the prune leaves the ranks of humble fruits and joins
the aristocrat s. tljagj ltn; iBeimuignjA'd as pwholo
somer fruit. Vvhen. properly prepared, re is also a palatable
one. 'Prunes, like mothers-in-law, are not half so bad as the
jokesmiths have pretended all these years. It was perhaps
only its inevitability on the boarding house breakfast table,
alonjj with the knowledge that it was a .cheap fruit, that
maduj the prune so trying to the human soul.
Once let the advertising campaign make itself felt, with
appetizing pictures of prunes and elegant prune dishes, with
a pryne slogan and prune recipes on every hand, and the
curses will be removed. The popularized prunes may cost a
liltle:mor6, but they will be finer, perhaps, and therefore
worlo the cost. - '' . v
A cheerful feature of this prospect is the fact that the
well known prune really is good for us, though we may have
our doubts about the prune soup to' which. Prfnce William of
Sweden is said to be addicted. And prunes are good for this
Northwest 'country especially, because the revenue thoy bring
our growers is increasingly important. ' ' "

There are a lew newspaper
misconception of the meaning, of economy They indicate
by their opinions that Oregon should be well satisfied and
well served if it has a roof over its head and a fair supply
of hardtack and salt pork in the cellar. Economy, they
would have you believe, is hoarding every dang-blasted nickel
and spending only when it is necossary to pl'event life ebbing
away. We would hate to inaugurate a like economy program
in the news departments of their pjipers. What a howl there
would be when all retpiests for additional' features of merit
wcreHuincd down, when existing features and departments
were pruned and eliminated ! They would call it suicide ; they
would predict a big circulation loss; they would point to the
effect on advertisers. Practice economy, yas! but not in their
department. That's always the way it goes. Such economy
is, like prohibition, fine for the other fellow but impossible
for them. And such economy is, we find, not economy at
all, because economy is not merely a matter of not spending
but of spending wisely which is what we want in Oregon.
Those things for which our tux money is spent should have
merit. If they have none, we can do w ithout them. We can
not, however, do without both for an indefinite period and
expect the state to progress.
