Other Papers Say: . HAWLEY'S DEFEAT Concresaman Hawley has apparent ly been defeated for renomlnatlon In the Republican DiimarltJ alter '25 years of continuous service In the house of representatives. His defeat reflects the popular reaction to the economic depression ana tne resent ment aim ins t those in power elected on promises of prosperity that failed to materialize. For naarly all of .ills 25 years of public-ser.vice.-Mr. J&wloy-wa simply a 'routine congressman, unheard from outside his own district ' and' little known in WoshingtomBesides co operating with the Oregon delegation, rather ineffectively at times, in pork bnrrel raids, he had donp little for either state or district,: and not a single bill of national importance bore his name. But ne naa Deen a iann ful supporter of the party organiza tion since the days of ;Uncle Joe Can non and hence assured his commit tee alignments. Seniority, leneth of service, even1- tunlly landed Mr. Hawley as chair-1 man of the ways and means com- j mlttee which originates revenue leg islation and the tarirr 0111 Bearing his name gave him national reputa tion. It imposed the highest tariff wall ever raised by any nation, ac complished none of Its objectives and instead 01 restoring prosperity, con tributed materially to the severity of depression by destroying American commerce through curtailment of forelsn markets as result of reprisal embargoes It provoked. This attempt to appiy xno 01a ior mulas of the 1880's as an industrial cure-oil for the 1030's, resulted In the dismal failure that every economist In tho land predicted. The tariff panacea had worked fairly well when the United States was a debtor and Importing nation, but could not have other than a deleterious effect upon the world's greatest creditor nation which depended upon exports for prosperity. So the Hawley tariff, the inspiration of provincial statesmen and of greedy special privilege, stilled tho machines of Industry, defeated its author and bids fair to upset the administration. Mr. Hawley 's other bid for national fame was the rebating of hundreds of millions of dollars Income taxes to war profiteers. His final achieve ment, the placing of the $2,000,000 federal soldiers' home at Roseburg was so lneotlv handled that It ' aroused the animosity of competing cities. Meanwhile Mr. Hawley had Dermittod the Champoeg memorial and other measures for his district to die in the house after passage by the senate. Democracies are proverbially un grateful, but we do not think Mr. Hawley has any complaint on that score. He has been amply rewarded by a grateful constituency for rather mediocre services by being kept In congress, with Its salary and per quisites for upwards of a quarter of a century. He had not earned a life tenure of office for he has .not pro gressed with the changing times and Is plainly out of tune with tho new generation. Salem capital journal THE "REWARD" OF SERVICE For 25 years W. C. Hawley has ser-W ed the Btate of Oregon as its congress man. He has arisen to a place of power that means mucn to uregon Concrete evidence of the way Hawley stands at Washington came when he obtained the soldiers' home for Rose burg. In the face of determined op position of Washington cities. Hawley's influence in tariff mat ters, insofar as Oregon needs are con cerned. also was Invaluable. Hjs years oi service nave given mm sen iority and committee appointments that enable him to command atten tion In the house when he a3k8 for leglslatlon desired by his constituents. Does Oregon recognise the value of this power, prestige and loyal ser vice? As a community it certainly does not. With election day four days removed, the veteran congress man does not know for certain whether or not he has hurdled the OUT OUR WAY I. II m REQ. U. fl. PAT. QfT. LAniN inirrn Few Golf Upsets Today primary barrier or will give way to an untried man, James W. Mott. ThB margin Is so close that even though Hawley 1b selected as the party stand -ardbearer. the results of the race will create In his mind a doubt whether not such Bervlce as he has at tempted to give for the last quarter century Is worthwhile. Mott, a3 corporation commissioner of Oregon, has done much to clean up fraudulent building and loan con cerns and other corporations of a "shaky" nature. Claims of persecu tion, as well as prosecution have been made against him, however, and there are some who claim that Mott has been utterly ruthless In sacrificing others to further his personal politi cal ambitions. , From this distance we cannot say which - viewpoint Is right. We feel positive, however, that Mott has not the legislative caliber of Hawley. He may 'achieve It through long years of -Bervlce, but lu the .meantime Ore gon will be suffering from lack of Influence at Washington. And Oregon has much to ask in futuro years, with development of the mighty Columbia river in the offing. . Hawley, the veteran, may give way Co Mott, the opportunist. Such Is the way of politics. Those who "live by the vote" also die that way. The Lraiies unronicie. ' j'.

With little girls, dolls and housekeeping equipment are favorites. Sand and clay for modeling retain the Inter est of most children. Mechanical toys, on the other hand, are soon discarded. Adults usually enjoy the mechanical toys more than the children for whom they are pur chased. Bunyan's Great Work Before John Bunynn left prison he lind begun-hls great book, "Pil grim's Progress."

Meek ' v (Observer Correspondent) WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Tho prevailing low prices for hogs ap pears to be causing many growers to get out of the hog raising busi ness as rapidly as possible. During tne past several months an unusually large number of hogs havo been mar keted from this county and reports from many of the farmers say that at no time during the winter and sprln g season has returns been enough to cover feed costs. One farmer of Middle valley reports that ho recently shipped sixteen largo hogs and received a check for $77 for tho shipment. This rush to market also appears to be the case from many other sections of the country. A. W. Johnson who has charge of the ship ping irom tnis ena 01 tne vaney in commenting on the number of hogs reaching the market at Portland. says that last Monday when a ship ment or nogs irom tnis county was sold in Portland, approximately 6000 head of hogs were In the yardB thero at that time. Several of the farmers in this community have been busy planting their potatoes. Judging from reports from a number of the farms, It does not seem likely that potato plant-1 lngs here will be as large this, year i as at many times In former yearB. Re ports also indicate that tnere ib somewhat of a scarcity of seed pota toes, evon for the smalt acreage be ing planted. A number of small shipments of baby chicks have been received by people of the community during the post week or two. Cold rainy weather of the past several days has made it quite difficult for many to keep tho chicks comfortable at all times, The ground squirrel menace 1b be coming mqre noticeable In many parts of the community at this time. Young squirrels have been making their appearance during the past two weeks and with much of the bunch grass becoming large and tough, they are moving Into the grain fields from all directions. No largo umount of poisoning has been done at many of the farms ot the community this spring, but recently j some have been purchasing supplies of county mixed poison and expect to poison at regu- lar intervals from now on tnrougn 0 'tho squirrel season to provent 1 much damage as possible from tho rodents. t I Mrs. Nora Anderon recently com pleted a very successful term of school in the Onsby district cast of Leap.
