K. Alkon, Managing Editor SUBSCRIPTION Ono Year, $2.00 HOW AROUT THE CONTRACT It la apparent that Micro exists a dlsputo concerning tho efficiency and need for tho 'work of a county agont and thoso associated In tho efforts ot tho dopartmont of agri culture to Improvo farming condi tions; so far as Malheur county Is concerned. Strictly speaking this Is n matter for tho farmors themselves to do cldo. It Is not n question upon which tho ordinary business or pro fosslonnl man Is In a position to do tormlno of his own knowledge; yet ho as n tax payor Is of course In terested; and his benefits from such sorvlco como Indirectly through tho Increased prosperity and happiness of his (armor customers. Certainly tlicro should bo somo mannor of determining whethor or not the farmers want this service Tho County court and all thoso con nected with tho service bollovod whon tho appropriation was mado (or tho service that tho (armors wantod It. Thcro wob nothing clso (or them to do but to bollovo it. They had lioforo thorn a largo group of farm ers requesting that tho co-oporatlon doslrod by tho Fodoral Department nml tho Extension agents of O. A, O. bo granted. Thoso farmers wero taxpayers, just as aro those who would abolish tho sorvlco, and ap parently at that time, at least thoso who asked tho sorvlco repre sented tho desires ot tho people. Thcro was no protost against tho sorvlco. No ono of thoso who do claro now thoy do not want It ap poarod boforo tho court tlion. It might bo portlnont to ask: "How Is tho county court to know what tho pooplo want when ono group appears and another docs not?" If tho county court woro on donod with a sixth sonso and could rond tho minds of tho majority and know what each ono thinks, porhaps thou It could ulwuys uct just as tho majority want; but when ono group takes so slight an Inturost In public affairs that It makes no showing of Its dcslro at tho proper time; It Is hard to boo whero It lias u just causo (or complaint If Its will Is not (ollowod. Upon the showing of thoso who asked, this service tho County Court ontorod Into a contrad with tho Fed oral Dopartmont of Agrlculturo and tho Extension Service of 0. A. C. (or a definite service llascd on that contract definite contracts havo boon mado by tho proper authori ties for tho services of two men, and work has been undertaken. Tho question Is thou what Is to bo dono about- thoso contracts?. Is Malheur County to break them; and If so, Is It to bo supposed that tho (oderal dopartmont wilt permit that to bo dono without recourse to tho law? It It would do so, then tho entire foundation (or tho sorvlec, not only In Malheur county but In ovcry county In tho Union would bo des troyed. If tho validity ot tho con tract Is questioned who la to pay tho costs of tho action? Irrespective of tho benefits ot tho County Agent tho question of break ing this contract Is tho (Irst thing that must bo sottled. And boforo that Is attempted thoso who bo llovo In tho benefits of tho sorvlco Just as honestly aB do thoso who opposo It ought to bo heard. Tlicro aro two sides to tho question. Tho tlmo to dccldo whether or not tho peopla want this sorvlco Is when tho budget Is prepared anil tho hear ings upon tho samo aro held. Thoso who aro advising tho petitioner know this, and that gives rlso to tho very logical ballot that It Is not tho County Agout ntono that tho men bohlnd tho petition inovemont want to got.

GOING TOO FAR It Is tlmo that tho business luoii down at Wotsar nwako to tho (act that thoy havo gone a hit too (ar In their efforts to halt tho develop ment ot tho Oregon country on tho West sldo ot Snako river opposite tholr town. In a word, It would bo woll (or Wolsor folks to do somothlng to ward gottlng an adoquato highway systom In Idaho) and leavo Oregon lo solvo Its own rond problems. Idaho has not been so markedly successful In Its offorts to build roads that It can with very good graco attempt to tell tho Oregon Highway Commission, or nnyono olso how to proceed with such ef forts. And while they aro about It, thu Wolsor business men might learn that whlla thoy aro endeavoring to Injure tho ranchers 011 Dead Ox Flat who havo fought (or this road, and whoso auto licenses go to aid In paying (or Its construction, who votod tho bonds on tho county to (urthor assist In this effort, that tho recent action on their part of dumping somo two-hundred loads ot garbage 011 tho Oregon sldo of tho rlvor Is not very docont to any tho loast. Over hero wo havo paid llttlo at tention to tho abort Ivo offorts of tho WolHoritcs to Intorforo in u matter that was nono ot tholr con cern; but tlioro Is a limit; and thoy havo about roachod It. It Is high tlmo that thoso ot tho Wolsor busi ness men who roalUo that tho ac tion of Home Bolt constituted repre sentatives of tholr city is out of placo assort themsolvos and put tholr community in a proper light Thoy cannot afford, wo bollovo, in lotting a cliquo uso their position to tho Injury ot tho entire community lly tho dovolopmont ot lowor Doad Ox Flat through tho build fug of Old Oregon Trail hlghwu Wclsor Is bound to bonoflt; perhaps as much as any community; for thero is u good road leading to it from Wolsor, and Wolsor must learn that$ho people of Oregon do not In tend thai thoy shall uso this state for n dumping ground and submit to dictation from thoso who thus In jure us.
