Rjtered Second Clau Matter August 1,1912 at the Post Office at Inde ' pendence, Polk County, Oregon, Under the Act of March 3, 1879. O. A. Hurley, Publisher Sc Proprietor Subscription Rates: One Year $1.50 Strictly In Advance independence, Oregon, Thursday, Oct.- 10, 1912 . A Great System Working; The government ia getting a perfect system togafher in their agricultural, commerce, and other departments and the information they are gleaming i& wonderful. They have data on hand that gives them alrnofit exact informa tion from every section as to what that community has and -what it produces and. what its yield will probably be when it is all garnered and ready for sale. They have , the data on the worlds crops from every nation, the import to and the export trade from the country, climatic condi tions, acres in cultivation, and acres not cultivated, timber, etc Beside the exact information we also have the trust who have experts that know how to make use of all this data and profit by it. With txact information on hand why are the trusts so powerful? Is it a hard prob lem to solve? They have the knowledge of the consump , tion by the people.the sources of supply and amount proba ble, the money well uuder their control, so why is it not i easy for them to take time by the forelock and act accord ingly? They do. State Editors Meeting The editors of the weekly papers bald an important meeting at the Pendleton Round Up and recommended the following laws be enacted: That all state, county, city and school district printing, binding and blank books be manufactured in the tat; that the office of state printer be abolished and that all public printing should be done in open market; aud that the railroad companies be com pelled to pubJi h their lime tables in papers of general circulation. The Poor amd Rich Alike Eligible A teacher in an Eastern Oregon Bchool puts before the Attoaney General the question, "Can a student be expelled irom the High school becaiiHe his . parents would not let him buy a gun and uniform necessary for membership in the high school cadet corps." The attorney general states that expulsion for such a cause is not justified. It looks to us as if the red tape and gold bra'd aristocracy was just going a little too far and the attorney g neral did the prop er thing when he stated the law as he saw i'. There are enou.'h of the hair brained aristocracy in realm without getting it tied in our public and high tchf.ol system.

School Year Open.September2G Editors Take Advanced Stand The newspaper men of Oregou made a decided stand against certain advertising which tha best papers have been rejecting as unfit for publishing and by their action bar the advertising of this kind from the association papers. They ' condemn by resolution the large alluring cigarette ad ver ' tisements in newspapers, bill boards aud magazines, the " high-sounding, misleading advertisements of whiskey and other alcoholic liquors and the advertisements of cham pagne, flavored tobacco as being detrimental to the youth. Medicine '"ads" were also condemraed, as it is claimed that ' Their new officers as elected are: I'resident.Colonel E. Ilofer, Salem Journal; Vice-President, George E.

Clinton Page, Albany Herald. Willammette Valley Hop Men There should bean organization of the hop growers fc:med, and Independence is the natual center for the form ing of such an orgaizantion. The woo! growers formed a wool growers association and have secured many benefits as a reselt. The hop men could also get benefits by such a course. With a secretary aud president looking to the hop men's interest, out side buyers could probably be secured in many cases and the pool of buyers could be broken up. Then from a legislative standpoint such an orgonization would be of value because they would have information first handed along legislative lines- that would be invaluable Notice to Parents All children who will have reached the age of six years on or before February 7, 1913, should enter the primary depart ment before October 11 of this year, as no new class will be formed Jn the primary depart ment until the middle of the school year. By Order of the Board of Directors. Contributary Negligence Too many accidents are oecuring with automobiles. Reckless driving is accountable for a good share of these. Frequently a bad grade is found whore the oounty offices have not prepared the roads properly, but in most cases the trouble can be sifted down to the driver's negligence. No auto driver should drive so fast as to loose any control of his 'machine. Speeding should be prohibited. In this val ley theeditor believes more people have been hurt or killed by automobiles than by horses and that too, considering ev ery use to which the horse has been pu. Why not, then, use a little more care. It costs less, is safer and is a mark of so.ae intelligence. Act Only After Careful Consideration 1 Every act taken by the citizens in imorov ram; work, should be carefully considered with the view of u future otvn of from 10,000 t 15,000 pe ple being located in this city.

A Few Things Needed Independence should i have her city hall overhauls I and repaired generally. A new jail would not be a disgrace to the city. The city park needs considerable attention . and there wbould be much benefit from a public drinking fountain on main street. The Commercial Club could co operate with the council and lit up a city hall and chamber of commerce room combined that would bean atti action' The hose carts and hose should be distributed over torn in houses prepared by the city, so that, in case of fire a hose house can he reached in a short space of time. Fron Main Street to the high school is a long distance and in that residence section a house should te I'laintained. The same is true from the Christian church north. Most towns of this size, plan on distributing hose carts over the district so as to make it possible to get to i fire rapidly where ever it may be loceted.

It means much to Independence to see new buildings going up and people taking them for permanent homes. This community lives and thrive on itspertna. nent citizenship The transient element is not eo eviden. and we should help to make more permanent homes, be cause it countB for development. The Made In Oregon Habit There is some good in creating the made in Oregon habit. It means the using of the merchandise manufact ured from Oregon products, made by Oregon hands, and placed on the m.'rket by Oregon manufacturing concerns. Oregon flour, Oregon clothing, Oregon furniture, Oregon paper, in fact everything possible to secure in Oregon should be secured here. We might go farther and where we cannot find a material needed mauufactured in Oregon, then get the material made the nearest to Oregon, that is from California, Idaho or Washington. There is more liklihood of the money from these states returning to, Ore gon than there is from the far East where the i.atural ten dency is to center everything abound New York and Wall Street.
