Unknown to each other until the first meeting or the 1123 session of the legisla ture now In session at Halcm, those men have cast their votes for the same side every time but one. They deny having tulked matters over before hand, and If there Is a "Johnson Jiloc" It Is not with con scious intent ..' The first to answer the roll call is Hert W. Johnson, of Monroe, representative for Benton county. He Is the manager of an apple or chard and owner of farm lands. He Is followed on the roll by Mark J. Johnson, of Astoria who stands for Clatsop county. This Mr. John son Is one of the leading dairymen ' In the state and Is found to "know his stuff very well Indeed along such lines. Completing the 'John son roll-call is T. G.

After years of effort and urging on the part ' of Baker business men and the community at large, it is to 1 be a one-newspaper city, eliminating a waste and extrava-. : gance that has long been obvious there, and laying the way J i for a greatly improved newspaper that will render far better '- news and advertising service than could have been possible under the previous arrangement. r , Baker is an excellent city and has long deserved the bet- i tcr newspaper that a consolidation will make possible. Prac- 'k tically equal with La Grande and Pendleton in many respects, with an enterprising group of business men and a good sur al rounding territory, Baker has for years been forced to be satisfied with the type of paper found usually in a town half its size. " - '.. 1 fs ' La Grande and Pendleton, each served by only one news- paper, have provided their respective territories with Asso S dated Press leased wire service for several years. . By. means I of suchdirect and constant contact with the outside world; these communities have had news service many hours ahead 'i of papers entering from the outside. Baker, because of the handicap of a divided opportunity, hns received only a "pony" j service and the difference has been all too obvious to Baker I people. Now, Iwginnmg next week, leased wires of the Asso I ciated Press will lie installed to serve1 the consolidated news- paper and its readers will at last come into their Own. The advantages of wire service are only a few of those 't that Baker will lie able to realize. Before the consolidation, : advertisers there were forced to pay twice the rate in exis- tence in La Grande in order to reach as many families in the '.; Baker territory as Hie Olwerver reaches here. Now Ihey ,'. will buv comnlete coveraire at an ponnnmin nnH pmiitiihla into t By the consolidating of local news staffs, news of Baker and its territory will be covered far more completely than ever before. Better sen-ice in every deartment will be a natural result It's a tendency in the newspaper business that has long been evident and one that should have been felt in Baker years ago. Cities of that size have as little a need for two daily newspaers as they have for two telephone systems,; two water systems, or two libraries. And it is significant that the situation has been brought about, in hundreds of cities throughout the country," through the demand of the reader and the advertiser who saw the good sense of having fewer in quantity and higher in quality. Here in OifRon the one-newspaper fields are typical: Baker, La Grande, Pendleton, The Dalles, Bend, Klamath Falls (morning and evening combination), Ashland, Grants Pass, Roseburg, Albany, Corvallis, Oregon City. A total of '.v clve daily newspaper towns with only one paper, while I.cre are two or more in the remaining five cities including Portland. In Washington there is a similar situation with only one ownership in Yakima, Wenatchee, Ellensburg, Kelso, Longview, Alcrdecn, lloquiam, Ccntralia, Bremerton, Olym pia, Mt. Vernon, Port Angclus. Vancouver. A total of thir teen with the six remaining di.ily towns having two or more, Including Seattle, Spokane, and Tacoma. A newspaper's life end i iwperity, like that of any other business, is dependent on its capacity for service and fur betterment. In Baker, as in pnu tieally all similar commu nities of the Northwest, the consolidated newspaper will have a far greater capacity for service and betterment than was possible !efoie. Baker is to be congratulated on realiiing this goal in community progress, lmler the guidance of Mr. Arant and Mr, Maimvaring, owners of the consolidated paper and of the Baker Herald, we can only anticipate a highly successful future for the paper and its service in the community. hrarlnr but nlrht Ixlnr.

An alert newsboy, on a day when news was dull and sales were few, turned to the advertising pages for in spiration. "Read about the big department store sale," he shouted. "Fine quality suits at $22. Beautiful furni ture on sale. New shipment of neckties just received." His stock of papers was sold out very quickly. The case is, of course, exceptional. But it points to the fact that advertising is news and important news. It is the news of daily life, the news of the fur niture you sit in. the books you read, the bonds you buy, the automobile you use, .the flashlight, talking machine and food product that give you satisfaction News that 'concerns' you more vitally than anything else you read. News that is essential to you because whether you purchase a piano or a pin, you want the best your money can buy. and you can always be sure you are getting the newest and best when' you read the advertisements. The advertisements contain poeketbook neicsand that's important!
