To the Editor:
The time of year for the annual
argument over home grown and
Khlpped-ln berries has arrived and
there aro several thlngu that tho local
consumer should take Into consid
eration. Several of the local organ
izations aro working for Increased
acnuigo 111 berries and altnilar crops
that will, they hope, bring In more
people. This will not come about
until there is a market for the crops
of this kind that arc grown locally.
It Is the local grower who Is helping
hire local labor, buying from local
stores and paying taxes to care for
county - expenses, schools and roads.
It costs the local grower using white
help some 50 cents Just to pick, pack
and grade his berries and furnish
his crates, not counting the care of
his crops for the rest of the year. The
greater part of the slilpped-ln ber
ries are of tile softer varieties. Local
berries are picked ripe and delivered
fresh every day. A largo Increase
In acreage could be secured If all local
consumers would assist In getting the
local products marketed. Irrlga- j
tlon and more home owners then I
wilt come without extra promotion.

THE BONUS CRUSADE
When hundreds of unemployed veterans began their march
to Washington a couple of weeks ago most newspapers car
ried editorials to the effect that such a course would bring
pubic condemnation upon the war heroes because of their
selfishness in milking demands upon the federal treasury
when the deficit is mounting daily.
Many people expressed! indignation that the veterans
should expect the public to provide their transportation to
Washington and then support them after they arrived there.
But in each city they visited, as in La Grande, food was fur
nished by people of mixed sentiments some being in abso
lute sympathy with the bonus crusade, and others acting
merely out of the realization that the men could not be left
to starve.
So the trek to the capital gathered momentum. Where
the railroads refused to carry the men, public officials made
arrangements for national guard trucks or any other means
of sending them along to the next place on their route. Now
there are' ten thousand veterans in Washington, and more
are coming from every corner of the nation. u
The one great object of this army of occupation is to
influence congress to authorize cash payment of their bonus
certificates. The measure is scheduled for a vote in the
house on Monday, and the whole nation is wondering what
will happen. Will congress be afraid to refuse the request
of the veterans?
There is the danger of the whole situation. If an organ
ized minority can march into Washington and intimidate
congress into granting its requests, there is something radic
ally wrong with our system of. government.
There may be some question, however, as to whether the
veterans aro in the minority or not. It may bo that they
are supported by a majority of the citizens. The payment
of the bonus now would put nxire than two billion dollars into
circulation, and that, according to many economists, would
pave the way for a return to prosperity.
At any rate, the veterans say they are going to stay till
they get their pay. And while they stay, there will be gen
erous souls throughout the nation that will send food sup
plies and money with which to support them. So that is
one problem solved; the veterans will be taken care of in
one way or another. Now perhaps someone will devise a
plan for taking care of the unemployed who are not for
tunate enough to have risked their lives in the war.
To Give Program
At Lake June 13
It Is conducted on a co-operative
basis through nn incorporated organ
ization. Orderly planting is tho first
factor. This feature Is one of the
public market Improvements made at
La Grande.
In orderly planting, members of
tho co-operative grow those products
best suited to their conditions and
In reasonable quantities. Orderly
planting also involves distributing
tho production of small-lot stuff for
tho homo market and working In
conjunction with the Pacific Fruit
company in marketing car-lot quan
tities. Under tho program It is planned
for certain truck growers to produce
principally car-lot shipments, while
others, more suitably situated, will
concern themselves with home pro
duction for home consumption. By
this process It Is hoped that there
will bo no ovcrsupply.
At present each member of tho
co-operative operntes his own stall
In a La Grande building supplied
him practically without cost. The
La Grande Chamber of Coinmcrco
Is helping finance tho original ex
pense. Covo, IS miles away, Is in
tho arrangement and pools Its prod
ucts and provides a manager to su
pervise the marketing In the La
Orando public exchange.
Because the farmers begin wUh
Orderly planting and t havo car-loU
shipping arrangements through ex
isting marketing agencies, backers
of the plan believe it will bo suc
cessful In spite of the law of aver
ages against It. The barreling of
surpluses Is 'to be added to the pro
gram as soon as that feature can
bo financed.
Tho more country ond town get.
together, the more co-operation of
that kind there comes about In tho
world, the better the dayi, on this
earth will be. Oregon Journal.
i;jh;cation uvnu;
A valiant defense Is being made by
Eugene, newspapers against the
threatened loss of the University of
Oregon through consolidation with
tho Oregon State college plant at
Corvallis. Both the Eugene Guard
and Morning News are quoting stat
istics by the column, many of which
aro angrily denied by the Corvallis
Gazette -Times.
At this distance it looks as though
Eugene Is unnecessarily alarmed.
Even though sufficient signatures
may be obtained to place the merger
on the ballot, the state as a whole
Is unlikely to consider the proposal
seriously. For one thing the Idea is
so drastic that even rabid opponents
of higher education would hesitate
to indorse it. It is obvious that, In
stead of effecting an economy, such
a consolidation would cost millions
for new buildings to accommodate
the combined student bodies. This
would Increase taxes, rather than
lower them.
Thus far we have failed to note
nn Oregon newspaper that favors tho
consolidation Idea, Even the Cor
vallis newspaper admits that the plan,
would bo a mistake although' It re
sents Kugene Inferences that O. S. C.
does not rank very high among col
leges of the nation, and that the
cost of teaching agriculture Is pro
hibitive In view of the number of
students taking this course.
Tho most economical set-up pos
sible without sacrificing efficiency is
being provided by the board of high
er education, In its elimination of
duplicating courios and general re
arrangement or subjects. University
and college partisans would do well,
to cease their constant bickering and

WASHINGTON The familiar ques
tion raised every four years of "What
will Borah do?" has cropped up again
by the Idaho senator's declaration
that he will not attend tho Repub
lican national convention in Chicago.
It Is no secret that the gentle
man sontetlmes referred to as the
"lone lion' of Idaho" has been off
the Republican reservation for o long
while. Hta departure dates back
to the old farm debenture fight
shortly 'after President Hoover took
office. J'
Borah. ,who had counseled tho
president to convene congress in
special session, broke with him then
and has since refused to return. The
breach' seems to have widened even
further by,,, his insistence that the
federal government appropriate
money , directly or relief of the un
employed. ,
Whether his refusal to be present
at Chicago in June means that he
will not take an active part In the
presidential campaign remains to be
seen.
In 1020 the dominant part he
played at tho convention In shaping
policies made him a powcrul figure
In the Hoover campaign.
It's difficult to concelve'of a presi
dcntinl campaign without Borah play
ing a leading part one way or the
ot her.
If for no other reason, the ques
tion of prohibition would seem to
insure his activity in the campaign.
He has long been known as one of
the foremost defenders of the 18th
amendment. Any attempt to tamper
with that perhaps would draw fire
a-plenty from him.
How Party Bosses From

TALK OF 'IIIIKO IMIITY
Of course, there is tho tolk about
him leading a third party
When he referred to that Idea In
the senate the other day, political
writers pounced on it immediately.
Letters by the hundreds filled his
mall urging that he take the lend.
But thus far there has been little
to indicate that he looks with favor
on such a proposition. ,,,,,
What his course will be only Borah
knows. The. only surface Indications
are to be found in his record. They
aro that he has never followed a
Democrat nor shown any real tend
ency to desert the G. O.. P.
ANANIAS
Three years ago everybody with Hie -credit was borrowing
money at 9 per cent to buy stocks at prices which capitalized
earnings on a basis of from 1 per cent downward. Today,
although money is to be had at half the 1i)2i) price to buy
stocks at prices which capitalize earnings at from C to 10
per cent or more and bonds which are still paying interest
at prices that virtually discount bankruptcies which are not
likely to happen, no one is borrowing.
In other words, the ticker tape, which all trusted to their
sorrow in 1020, is being depended upon by everybody today
for wise investment counsel. And yet the story of the tapes
is no less a lie today than it was during the boom. j
When all were borrowing and buying the ticker tape ex
aggerated the value and earning power of the securities. It
now deceives in the other direction, few if any of the listed
securities being worth as little as the ticker tape rates them. ;
Stock market quotations are not and never have provided;

guide. The wise investor watches commodity prices, in

WASHINGTON. .June 10 Prom the
dayu of Thomas Jefferson and Alex
ander Hamilton down to tho present,
political bosses have played a major
part in the making of presidents.
IVndlng events at Chicago this
month will prove no exception.
Convention delegates may vote,
cheer and stage wild parades around
tho convention hall but the de
cision upon which they act usually
ore made In advance at quiet confer
ences between the men who pu!l the
strlnga from behind tho serin'. It
ha been estimated that 1000 of the
1154 delegate-. to the Democratic con
vention this year will 1m controlled
by '26 or ;i0 men. Such hossvs ivltin
supreme in most large American cities
today and (pilto a few of them will
control full sta to delegations at Oil
can o.
They usually are the men who nom
inate candidates for tho presidency.
If enough of them decide to blx'k an
aspirant, ho stayn blocked and a
man satisfactory to the batrH get-s
tho prize.
As a (-roup the bosses have national
politics so well under their control
that It Is ridiculous to suggest that
tin voter. have anything to do with
choosing the party national candi
dates.
The Iti'publloan bosses will have
little to do til.. year except to go
through certain formalities, such as
tin, renoiulnatton of President. Hoo
ver, and write a prohibition plank
winch probably will be iranuM in ad
vance. Some of the most powerful Demo
crat lr. leaders, however, an oppied
to tloveinor l'ninklin D. Itoosrv.'lt of
New York, and they hope they can
get enough help from other powerful
bos.-es whose position is an yet un
certain to keep Ho.isovelt. from the
nomination and to nominate their
own choice.
There Is much doubt whether they
can do thiii. becauM there I. no (.olid

for instance, that Rowevi'lt. with 000
or Hon delcnates, will be aide to havo
a wry loud voice- in picking tin
nominee In ease he .houIdn't hi nom

couple of hundred more, also will
havo a ay. Speaker Jack darner with
t0 or more dolenatos and various fa
vorite sons, some of whom can con
trol their state delegation to the
finish, might also be Influential.
Tho loval bows who in expected io
have tin largest group of delegate
tinder hu hand- Is John F. Curry,
leader of Tammany hall. Mr. Curry, a
white-hatred, beyond-mlddlo-age man
who plays an excellent game of
bridge, will have the 04 votes or Now
York and thus far ho Is the only ono
who knows what ho is going to do
with them.
Mr. Curry, who has working ar
rangements with some upstate New
York machine leaden, announced
confidently that tho 04 would be
voted under tho unit rule. There aro
llloiwevolt delegates in the group, but
apparently tney won t bo obio to help
themselves. Tho unit rule, often im
posed by state conventions, requires
delivery of the whole delegation voto
as a result to the designated candi
date. The strongest bass In the nntt
Rooevelt group is Mayor Krank
Hague of Jersey City, who will de
liver New Jersey's 311 for Smith and
connlvo as he never did before to de
stroy itooM'velt at tho convention.
Hi -.ilde such men as Hague. Na
tional Chairman John J. Haskob and
Executive Chairman Shouso will no of

personal influence and persuasion,
al' hough they also are counted antl-Hoosovelt,
