This mcaBuro should have tho npprovnl of over votor In Oregon who wants to advanco tho material Interests of tho stato and Its moBt Industrious cltlzons, tho farmers. Under thin mensuro, which was drafted along tho lines ot tho Cali fornia statuto n real step Is being tnkon toward tho solution of tho most voxlng problem which tho farm or's of tho stato aro facing. With tho oxporlonco of tho Cnllfor nlans as a guldo Oregon Is not experi menting In this law. If It can suc ceed In California thora Is no reason why It can not succeed hero. Orccon formers seldom or nover fall In producing an ampto crop to per year to tho producers of Orogon. Hut tho stato will undoubtedly bo required to call upon somo man of outstondlng ability, who has mnilo his personal fortuno nnd who will bo willing to servo for tho opportune Ity of being of scrvlco to tho stato, nnd not for tho salary that Is at tached to tho office. Thero are ninny such men In Oregon and undoubted ly ono of them can bo secured for this grcnt position. Given tho market commission bill; given tho proper co-operation of tho producers -f tho majority of tho com modities grown In this stato, and then thoro will bo no occasion for tho Introduction of podltlcnl nostrums bv outsldo carnoUbaggers to solvo Oregon's problems. And that Is In dood nn object worthy of attainment, Voto Yes on 320 for tho Market Com mission bill.

In fact It can ntmost bo truthfully snld that thoy Imvo nover had such n return. As n matter of Justice thoy aro en titled to nn ndoqtiato return, Tho speculators, not all of thorn, but some of them, have nt times robbed tho fiirmors.Thls market commission bill Is doslgncd for tho purposo of rod uc-! nig inn activities 01 ineso speculators to n minimum. From ovory sonrco whore Informa tion Is nvnllnlilo on tho workings of tho California law comes words of pralso. Tho Argus recently rccolvcd copies of lottors written tho States Taxpayers I.uaguo by representatives of tho California Alfalfa Growers, Tho Halsln (1 rowers, tho Dcokccpors, thu I'runo Growers nnd Dairymen of California. Also letters from nows pnpor men, bnnkers of Cullfornlo, In cluding ono from Fred W. Klossol, who Is wolknown to many Ontnrlnns, nil praising tho results which Imvo followed tho co-nporatlvo mnrkotlng of California producers under tho leadership ot tho Stato Market Com' mission. On another pngo wo nro producing tho lottor of tho director of tho Al falfa Growors association. It Is self nxpluuulury and nt this time It should bn seriously cnnsldorod by tho nlfnlfa growers of Malheur coun'.y. Thoro Is but ono criticism that Tho Argus would miiko-concerning tho proposed market commission bill. Thnt Is tho limit placed on tho sal ary of tho director. This position calling for tho talent nnd training roqulrod Is worth at loast $25,000 Ing plants In tho South ..American country, for It Is wollknown, nnd tho government's rovonuo reports show tho dnlly nrrlval of tons nnd tons of this hoof, nnd ovory pound of It Is In direct comnotltlon to tho beof grown In Mnlhour county, fed on Mnl hour county hay. No moro convincing nrgument on tho question of economics Involved In this cnmnnlKii Is uosslblo. Tho facts speak for thomsolvos, Argon lino beof In Mnlhour countv-how can uny Mnlhour county morclmnt preach tho doctrlno ot "trading nt homo," whllo ho Is offorlng tho stock mou of Mnlhour County canned beof from thu ranges of Argcntlno, In stond of tho product ot this county Itself? Especially is this truo when tho beet ot Mnlhour county Is u drug on tho ninrkot nnd our cattlo and hny men nro facing a sorlous situation. It is time to do somo thinking on this question. HOW AHOUT YOUIt HOME? . It tho Interest rat bill proposod Is adoptod It will mean tho loss of many a homo to tho prosont owner In tho stato of Oregon. Tho flvo per cont Interest bill will drtvo out of tho stnto ovory building nnd loan asso ciation, for thoy would not ronow tholr loans nt that rato, when thoy could plnco Its funds In other states at higher rates.

It is truo that among tho candidates on tho city ticket thoro is not a man who Is not now busy with many private affairs, and somo who nro also carry- Ing moro than tholr share ot public responsibility as well. It is appar ent that tho old truism Is horo re- I Iterated, that "responsibility gravi tate to thoso who aro able to bear It." While several of tho mon nominat ed feel inclined to roture the honors gtvon them by tho nominating con vention wo feol certain that they al so feel tholr responsibility ns citizens und will not evado tho duty thus In cumbent on thorn. ny reason of tholr prominence In buslnoss llfo they owe tho community the duty of ac cepting the responsibility nnd ot giv ing to the public that exnmplo ot doing tho work thoy nro cnllt.i upon to preform. .
