The death of Georje Joseph removes the most Hpectacular
igure in Oregon politics and, robs the state of an administra
ion under him. as governor. That, wo were inclined to be-
eve, would fnot have been a bad thing fott; Oregon and it
night I.ave been a very good thing. -'Joseph possessed many
heories and'employed many tactics of which- we could not
pprove, but. he did things. ..lie was A worker. He was sin-
ere in his devotion to Oregon, in his ideas for the promotion
f Oregon's welfare. His death means the loss of a citizen
f tremendous ability and throws . the state into political
urmoil thatinay be far less productive of good than Joseph's
ernv as governor might have been.
Speculation is rife today on the possible nominee by the
epublican state committee to take Joseph's place. Candi-
ates who were defeated in the primary immediately come
o mind but it is doubtful if the committee will want-to face
lie criticism; that would result from choosing one of these
nd discarding the others, Norblad, who ran second, has
st a great deal of prestige and support since the primary,
nd will not jikely receive much consideration. Corbett would
I'obnbly refuse the nomination under present conditions un
iss' the demkind was most urgent. . Tom Kay looks like the
est contender if the committee, would .wish to select a ,new
mdidate aiiil thus unite various factions of the party. Kay
ould makejjjn excellent governor as ,wo'u!4Sar Kozcstv'who
ould probably not object to serious consideration by the
oimnittee. 'There will be candidates galore, but the strong
nd competent men available are not great in number. ,

POPULATION TREND
Much ado has boon jrvade about consul figures showing a
ontinued population' trend away from the farm and the
mall town to the city and its suburbs. The exact figures
Ire not yet available but enough is known to determiine the
rend.
Why this trek from county to city?" is the question on
he lips and in the minds of the rural-conscious, and virtually
verybody has some contact with the country either through
he past or in a business way.
Several are the known reasons, and there may be still
thers that no one has yet placed a finger upon. Great marts
f commerce still possess their ancient lures; ambitious
oung men and women still throng into the centers, forsak-
big the lives-; and occupations oC their ancestors for life in
lie big city; and old folks, who have amassed small fortunes
rom the soil turn their heads city-ward in search of greater
jomforts and more diversified interests for their declining
ears. . :.; 1 , :
Agriculture has adjusted itself to the new, situation, cur
idling units' of acreage and adopting machine methods to
leet the diminishing supply of farm labor. While industrial
enters have drawn heavily upon farm labor shortages of
hut type of labor arc less frequent and acute than before
ho farm exodus began. Perhaps tho worst sufferers are the
ankers and merchants in those distinctly rural centers who
so a patron every time a farmer or a farmer boy, or farmer
irl or a farnhand, moves to the city.
The gravest danger is that the census returns will convert
angerous numbers in the country to the fallacious belief
hat the day of opportunity in rural America' is past. The
pportumty is greater than ever, as many Grande Rondo
alley farmers are demonstrating, but only for the compet
ut, efficient operators.
