Mmy Commissioner oinlutvor to have
tho. Oregon Highway commission do
and Chamberlain and all the other Is
sues and personalities of thu cntn
palsn, It would bo unfortunnto If
tho pooplo over looked tho problem
of soloctlnB n representative city
.council. 1 1 ' j
And thin leads to tho observation
that a chanso should bo mado In tho
.city charter or tho statu laws rov
ornlns municipalities so that at
least halt of each administration
would hold over. Hither tho city of
flclals should bo olocted for terms of
four years, half of thorn ovory other
hlonlum, of It tho two yoar term Is
to prevail hnlf should bo elected each
yoar.
Two years ago when tho present
administration was nominated there
wcro but 10 voters at tho caucus and
nono of tho men present wnntod n
nomination. In fact many of tho
men prcsont went thero for tho avow
ed purpose; as they said, "to protect
thomsolvos aRalnst, nomination."
From a purely selfish standpoint
that may bo a proper attitude, It
Is notoriously tho fact that tho man
who Rives his tlmo to public affairs
docs so to tho Injury of his private
builnoss. Yet somo ono must do
this. Tho men who by tholr busi
ness success achloYo a competence In
a community must rocoj;nlio tho fact
that tho public has a right to some
of tholr tlmo and that on public
mattori.
Thu man on tho stroet whoso busi
ness Is so larcoly affoctod by tho
municipal government
tho ono thlnR'fnr tho 'residents of
that satlon to do Is to turn Uolsh
uvlkl, or move out of tho country. It
Is apparent Hint tho Rovernmsrit
does not seem rrncernod Ju thh
sllRhtost for tholr wolfnro or prosperity.
THIS THAI-TIC HKGUIATIONH
Ontario has fallon Into tho regula
tions of the now parking system
quickly, and It Is an Improvement
over tho old sjstom to a marked
doRroo. Howovor It does not Rive
ontlro satisfaction, nor could It

T,he Areus knows Hist, Ontario Is
n-llllng and anxious to co-operate
with Its Idaho neighbors whon thoy
iro right, and tiro, oft,ort Is for tho
mutunl advantage- of this nptlon

THK COUNTY l'AIH
TIjs ranchers have taken hold of
the County fair this' year and thoy
b!lmve already secured n degree of co-
i
oxpoctod to. No reflation will idense operation from the nutalde oninmuu
lilies which indicate uini ins au-
nvoryono.
Thorb Is n Reed donl of talk In
favor of ii elioiiHH to parklnc In the
middle ut tho stroet, and there are
mnny nrRUinents to bo advanced In
favor of such a plan providing Ore
roii strcot Is wide enough to pormlt
It. That Is the only argument that
could ho advanced iiRniust the center
of tlii' street parkins.
Ily parking In the center oj the
street traffic would he divided by
compulsion, and thus driving on the
street would bo safer; podestrluus
would bo protected :or there would
bo no cars starting from the otirbe
from bohltid other oars, also as In
lh prosout rcsulatloiiH tho cars
would naturally start In tho direction
of traffic. And thero Is still another
reason; tho curbs would nt all times
ho frco for loading nn unloading, for
moro In fact passeiiRors to alight from cars, and
than ho Is affected ,hy olthor, coun
ty stato, or national government
has no right to crltlso thy . local
administration of affairs If ho Is
not willing to nssuuio his shnro of
tho government or to assist In tho
solcctlon of tho men to run for of
flco. It Is thorcforo strictly up to tho
inon and womon of Ontario to think
ubout tholr local affairs and to bo
present at tho caucus at which the
mon uro to bo nomlnntod In this fall.
THIS M.UIi SHHVICH
Thero Is nn old saying to tho ef
fect: "to them that hath It shall be
given, to them that hath not, shall
bo takon oven that which they hath."
Certainly this applies to tho Interior
of Malliour and Harney county.
Tor yoars this region has boon
practically Isolated. It has had ono
train each way as far as Crane on
which a mall clerk workod to dls
triibuto Jtho mall and prepailo tho
pouchos so that tho mall wont direct
to tho connecting trains horo In On
tario, Now that thoso havo bcon taken off
tho mall going to and from
In cttso of flro tho department would
not ho handicapped by tho prosenco
of cars noxt to tho sidewalk.
Tho center parking has much to
commend It, If the streot Is wide
enough It might bo a Reed Idea
soma day to string n bunuh nt cars
iiiimI show will In reality he what Its
name Implies. The Malheur County
Fair.
This I a step forward and whllo
Ontario has In the tusl dose all that
Is could to prqmote the Kalr and
thn sueceee In the pest whs due to
a large) degree to the activity of On
tario business men, yet Ontario' In
trest In the exhibition should not
abate one whit. In fact now that
the burden of management Is shifted
Ontario should bo oven more willing
to do eerythlng In Its power to make
tho work of the muuhers suceossful,
so that the 1'alr will he placed on a
new footing of assured and continu
ous success.
Tho Argus knows that tho Ontario
business men are willing to nsslst
tho fair board; but also tint since
pruotlOHlly everyone of them nro busy
men, and that some effort must bo
made to keep the workers In the
harness to boost the FUlr. Thut
work should bo done now
usefulness. ,
It so largo an ornnnlzatlon can ho
of no Intluonco with a state depart
ment such as tho Highway Commis
sion, then thero Is lltlto that Mat
hour county can oxpoot from It, and
tho quicker that fact Is. dotormlnod
tho better for nit concarucd..
