Finding it somewhat tedious to serve the federal government only as postmaster, this gentleman has devoted his spare time with sufficient diligence to national guard activities that his old rank of major was judged Jjeneath his capacities. So he sports a silver leaf on each shoulder (at least that's where they used ;to hang 'em twelve years ago) and becomes second-in-conr-!mand in his regiment. Tlje promotion is a distinct honor and well deserved. -'Mr. Huron has served the national guard Jong and with enviable efficiency. He has seen active serv ice m two different wars. And being a bachelor he is prob iably content to try two or three mure. We hope his military duties never call him that far but extend sincere congratula tions and hope he may some day be decorated with a gen eral's star. . . J-OllTLAND I'llODLX'E ! The exposure of 19 young men and young women at Pendleton, "working their way through college" by selling 'magazine subscriptions, should servo as a warning to soft hearted La Grande people who fall for this gag each year. One of the girls is held on a check charge, while the tac ! tics of the rest of the crew are such as to arouse suspicion. The safe thing in every community is to meet such subscrip tion solicitations with, a prompt and firm; turn-down. Nine times out of ten the young person selling magazine subscrip tions has never been in college and never expects to be. The ."working thagh college" lien is merely sales t;i)l-wnl is used to arouse sympathy. And in numerous cases the solic itors are not authorized salesmen. They take your money, pocket it and get out of town. Your magazine never comes. ;lf you want ' magazines, see a local news dealer and place your order. ;Ie will receive prompt attention and you'll not be the victimof petty graft. I Under ordinary circumstances, the republican nomina M ion .for governor in Oregon is equivalent to election. This year is ordinary and voters will select the next governor at the primary election on Friday of this week. Viewed in that light, the election is vitally important for every citizen. It means the selection of the man who will direct state busi ness for the next four years, the man who will have a tre mendous influence on tax tendencies, who will have the re sponsibility of law enforcement, who will effect the lives and pockelbooks of every person in the state through various of ficial appointments. Although his duties are very largely executive, the position of governor is such that no thinking citizen will throw' asido the opportunity to have a voice in choosing its occupant. Go to the polls Friday. The ballot is short; voting will take very little tinje. Pick out the men you think best equipped to serve the state and vote. If you regis tered before the books closed last month or if you voted in the last general election (the presidential election of 1928), you are eligible. It A DC K WKARERS ' Responsibility for the bureaucratic government which has tome into being at Washington and for the superabundance of inspections and supervisory r.ctivitics that arc the stock in trade of the bureaucracy must be placed on the political proposition that the public must be protected. It is giving the politicians .credit for too much imagination to charge to them the invention of the one thousand and one ways of the bureaucracy to make new jobs for the reward of party t loyalty. All for the protection of the citizenry, congress and the - tale legislatures, in the course of a relatively few years, have passed laws and appropriated billions in public monies for the Inspection of mines, ships, airships, meat and other foods, .mildings, plumbing, factories, "cellars," weights and mea sures, butter substitutes, dairy herds and their products, ' .ionics, babies and so on ad infinitum. Now all this government meddling it often amounts to inly that could be tolerated gracefully and the enormous bill presented to the taxpayers, for it would not seem excessive , f it always accomplished its given purpose. Theoretically, government inspection is justified by the ; arelessness, recklessness and irresponsibility not wholly for- ', ;ign to private business. But, on the saute theory, govein nent inspection of government inspection is justified by the arge number of accidents that occur in spite of compulsory . inspection. When the government maintains an inspector the public ; las a right to expect the inspection to be Ixith thorough and j i lonipetent. When the inspection proves otherwise the pub ' ic is warranted in feeling that the inspectorship is for the ' irofit of the badge-wearing jobholder rather than for the notection of the people.

A load man was heard to say, "It's remarkable what can be done with a small income when a family sets out to do it." The remarkable thing is in saving a little as long as earn ing power keeps up. The difference between the family that has a good savings account for an emergency and the fam ily who hasn't when both have but small incomes is merely in doing without the unnecessary things. This money put in a savings account becomes a 1 per cent investment, as dependable as government bonds and ready for rn emergency caused by sickness or enforced idleness. Start a saving account with that purpose in mind. Even a dollar a week is a beginning. It strengthens your credit gives you greater confidence in the future. n M n M i in ii M ii !! Hi I!
