Leonard Forsythe, of Sandy and
Portland, who has purchased the
timber on the Meinig property east
of Sandy, decided the other day
that if he had a span of horses he
would be able to accomplish much
more work each day. So, not very
much sooner said than done, he had —Hel d Milk Maker

ley, but now of Wamic, bring over

one of his teams.
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.

home should be made together.
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.
