THIS BASIC PRINCIPLE Therefore all things whatsoever yo would Hint men should do to you, do yo even so to them: for this is tha law and the prophets. Matthew 7:12. It is doubtful if any man is a big enough hypocrite to show ! enthusiasm over being refused a loan by his banker. : ' In the matter of feminine domination there are two classes of men those who admit it and those who do not. It is not fair to blame the weather bureau for the weather, but only for the predictions.

The risk of doing n favor to some persons is that they are encouraged to ask for another. 1 Poles never swear in their own language, invariably using Kussian. Well, Russian is probably better adapted to that . line of work. Near-accidents on the highway are experienced by every one. One of the most glaring driving faults is passing another car when a third machine from the opposite direction ia too close. Oregon has a law covering that tendency. It t provides that a driver shall not pass on a state highway : until he can gain a hundred feet in distance before turning : back' into the right hand . lane. Ti;affio. officers might give ; nore attention to this requirement and help correct this : Cult. : - USKLESS ARMY POSTS Twenty-three million dollars a year is appropriated for the quarter-master general's department to keep up army posts in this country, to repair and build barracks and other things supposed to be necessary for a properly appointed "fort." There are dozens of these posts throughout the country, most of them established as the course of empire took its westward way and the need for protection from Indians was a good and legitimate reason for them. Elimination of some of these army posts is one way Mr. Hoover can cut down his army expenditures, according to experts who have studied the situation. Kveryone knows of several that could and should be wiped off the army maps for economic reasons. Ft. Snclling in Minnesota is 'an example. I't. D. A. Russell in Wyoming, Ft. Des Moines in Iowa, Ft. Riley in Kansas. There seems to be no immediate likelihood of war near any of those army posts. Probably n regiment or battalion is stationed there to keep them in existence, but that's all. On both coasts there are numerous military posts, some of them necessary in a comprehensive defense plan, some of them not. Army units are maintained at Vancouver Bar racks and at Camp Lewis in Washington. One could be done away with and the country suffer no loss from a military standpoint. Portland and Tacoma would lose some trade from the soldiers now spending their pay in those cities, perhaps, but it would not be a serious loss. The chief difficulty with any scheme to eliminate army posts is the protest of congressmen who want to keep a finger in the military pie. Washington representatives and senators would enter all kinds of protest against the aban donment of the posts at Vancouver or Camp Lewis, we imagine, and would probably be aided by Oregon congress men when the Vancouver post was threatened. They want to point with pride to the federal money being spent in their home states, to take as much credit for that condition as possible. We don't blame them but we can't help thinking that twenty-three million is loo much to spend on army posts each year. Save half that amount and the country would be better off.

K. West & Co. retires from business in La Grande after thirty years of activity with a deep appreciation for the good will and liberal patronage of the people of this territory. Throughout those years we have found distinct pleasure in provid ing this community a store of quality, a store where good merchandise, good assortments and friendly, helpful service have laid the founda tion for unquestioned leadership. Thirty years is a long time and we relinquish our business con tacts with hundreds of customerswith no slight feeling of regret. We are thoroughly pleased, however, that the store we have built through these three decades is passing into the hands of such com petent and such experienced men as comprise the Falk Co. They will, we are confident, provide a greater and better store in the future. Their heritage of your good will and continued patron age is an asset of the highest value. We extend to the Falk Co., our sincere wishes for a long and successful service to this community. N. K. West & Co., Inc. La Grande's Leading Store for Over 30 Years.
