It appeared as though the said team had never been worked but only with many other horses in the large fields of Eastern Oregon. After Mr. Forsythe and his en tire crew finally at last succeeded in getting the team hitched to the log and ready to start, but instead of going ahead with the log, the hor ses began turning around and then sat down and looked a t the log to see what it was. At ‘last reports, Mr. Forsythe was putting in a long distance tele phone call to Mr. Muller to come and get his horses and take them back to the wide open spaces. —Climax Dair _ * * * Dairy F —Beet Pulp —Calf Meal Buv them at MEINIG’S, Inc.

George W. Beers, long time resident of Sandy, gave the editorial writers of the Oregonian food for thought this week, with the following inquiry: To the Editor: Would you please explain to me what is the difference between President Roosevelt’s recession and ex-President Hoover’s depression? George W. Beers, Sandy, Oregon. If a comparison of intensity and suffering- are de sired, the inquiry is rather premature. There is at the present time probably less gloom and less hysteria than there was in the years closely following 1929. There is one marked difference between the “de pression” and the “recession,” and that is that the “de pression” was world-wide and grew mainly from a single world-wide cause. The “recession” is at present confined to America and apparently comes from causes and gov ernmental policies within America. If prolonged it can hardly fail to have repercussions abroad. A nation which holds an estimated forty-five per cent of the wealth of the world cannot long remain in an isolated slump. It is only natural that the Oregonian should charge much of the blame to the administration. It is hard to con ceive of a newspaper so eminently fair in its handling of news coverages to be so prejudiced in its editorial policies. Also, it is nothing less than a tragedy that editorial writers possessed of such brilliance as those employed by the Ore gonian should be required to write only in tune with their bosses. W’e have no doubt that at least eighty per cent of their writer lambasted Mr. Roosevelt in print during the campaign and then voted 1'or him in the election, but a job is a job in anybody’s language in these times. We admire a man who fights for his convictions, whether ' he I k > Republican or Democrat, but we sometimes wonder if the founder of the Oregonian did not stipulate in his will that his paper should be operated Republican for all time in spite of liell.
