Why Is It that they cannot tiring
forth a candlilnto to succeed these
orriclnls?
Whnt Is tliolr gamo?
Whnt ulterior object do thoy wish
to attain?
Thoso nro mighty portlnont ciuos
tluiiH. When men put up money to
bring about n rosult It Is timely
tlmt tho Impelling motlvo bo exam
ined; there must ha something be
hind tho scheme, for no ono In Mal
heur county has over accused tho
men who nro active In this work
us being ho public spirited nud so
zealous of tho public good that thoy
would actually Invest cash for Its
promotion. Kveu tho proponents of
tho recall would not claim that for
themselves.
noineonoH bull must liavu been
gored. Whoso was It; nnd If they
who would recall tho present offi
cials win, what Is tho price they aro
tit demand of tho successors?
Admittedly there Is no public
clamor for u recall, and has not
been, and tho men who stir up
vtrlfn do not do so for ploasuro.
There Is soma object to bo obtained.
Tho men behind the recall move
ment nro practical men. Thoy will
rocognlzo that tho public has a right
to examine their motives, to look bo
hind tho scones to learn why It Is
being used as on Instrument to re
vongo ii private grudgo, and this Is
whnt the recall really, amounts to.
At hoiiio time or other overyono
of the men who Is busying himself
In this movement bus found some
pet scheme hlockod by the County
Court.
At loaijl ono man Is soeklng re
venge for n grudge of years stand

furnishing an example of gross In
gratitude Taken all In till tho attempt to
bring tho milium of two moil llko I-:.
II. Tost nnd Prank M. Vines Into
illsreputo Is a sordid affair, ono that
should bring to shame tho perpetrators.
tlvo statements Bhowlng tho posi
tion of Malheur county's schools ns
compared with those of other coun
ties In tho stale cannot bo doubted.
Tho comparative statement, too, ro
futcs emphatically tho oft repeated
statements that our schools aro ox
crtvngantly administered.
It should be particularly noted
that In every Instance whero per
centngo of attendance, and other
factors showing tho use of which
the schools aro put by tho peoplo
Malheur county Is high In tho list;
white In every feature relating to
schools tho county Is nwny down on
tho list. y,
For example, there are only three
counties In tho stato which pay
their teachers less than thoy re
ceive In Mnlliour county. Thero
are only three In which tho cost per
pupil Is lower than It Is here.
When It Is further considered
that as coinpnred with tho other
states In tho Union Oregon Is twenty-third
In comparative expense, It
must ho admitted tlmt for tho edu
cation of their children ttio peoplo
of Malheur county aro getting ro
suits at away bolow tho nvorngo
cost.
In this connection tho only criti
cism that wo havo heard of lato Is
that concerning teachers salaries.
This has long been n moot ques
tion, but alt of tho authorities high
In tho buslncsH of government aro
agrood that cheap teachers means
Inefficient teachers. Inefficient
teachers mean Inadequately trained
children. Inadequately trained child
ren moan men and womon handi
capped In tho battle of life.
Ily nil means wo aro certain that
the peoplo of Malheur county desire
for their children an ndoquate edu
cation and a fair clmnco for sue
coss In tho strugglo that Is before
every young man and woman. Hue
ecus Ih not easily attnlned at the
best, and tho boys and girls of Mul
hour county, nro wo bellovo entitled
to nn ovon break with tliolr fellows
In other counties and other states.

''Illghl now Ontario Is better off
than nine tenths of tho towns Us
slxo In this Interinoiiiitnlii country,"
said C. S. Watson, formerly of On
tario hut now a resident of Salt
Lake from which point of vantage
he Is looking after his Interests
which nru scattered all the way
from Utnh to Ontario and vary
from farming hinds, business build
Ingrt nnd mining properties.
During tho course of tho past ton
mouths since ho loft Ontario It has
boon nocessary for him to visit nil
over tho luterniotintalii country and
he Is theroforo quntlfled to Judgo.
Visitors to Ontario constantly
make such declarations and while
soino may do so to flatter our pride,
yet the statement mndo so often
must havo u monsuro of truth. It
Is certain that many of us do not
appreciate how really fortunate wo
aro In this section. Even though
we nro facing real problems, the
basis of our prosperity Is laid deep
and business hero Is holding Its
own. Wo ought to nppreclato this
fact.
I'uiiiT Tin: wi:i:vu,
Tho havoc which tho ulfulfn wee
vil has brought In many fields of
tho county has at last demonstrated
that It Is n menace that cannot be.
Ignored.
l)y sonio of tho men who tutvu
considered tho problem from many
angles tho coming of tho wcovll Is
viewed almost us u blessing; for
they arguo, tlmt It will couipell tho
nbandonmeu of alfulfn, as tho solo
reliance of tho rancher.
While this may bo true, still al
falfa will never he abandoned as a
leading crop. It would bo a calam
ity to have ull tho alfalfa fields
devastated, for upon alfalfa will bo
built the dairy and hog raising In
dustries which will tako up tho
slack left by the curtailment of
stock raising which has already
manifested itself,
If nil tho fields of ulfulfa In the
county could be abandoned far a
few years perhaps the pest could be
thus curtailed but It Is foolish to
nntlclpato such n condition, and
that being true It rests with tho
ranchers to adopt tho next best
method.
Tho county Is fortunate that It
has the opportunity of getting tho
ndvlse of the specialists of tho de
partment of agrlculturo through
tho county ugent. Ily this service It
Is possible that many times tho cost
of the entire service will be saved
to the county In combating this men
ace nlouo.
To get rovengo for their private
grudges a group of self-seeking pol
iticals nro going to make the tax
payers of Malheur county dig up
2,000 In real money to hold an
election. What do you think of
that Mr Tax Payer? Aro you will
ing to be used as a tool for prlvato
ends and then mado to foot tho bill
too?

HEED IlEPOKTO CODDLING 18
OUT ON TKKIM NKAH MtOOAN
A. A. Heed, clinlrmnn of tho farm
huronu horticulture committee re
ports that coddling moth emerged
at llrognn as early as tho uilddlo
of May. This report Is confirmed
by orchardlsts who watch such mat
tors In other parts of tho county.
Tho nights of May 24 and 26 wcro
very favorable for tho moths to bo
laying eggs. While all of tho moths
had not omerged nt that time by
nny means, It Is probable that tho
apple growors who neglect to apply
tho flrstcovor spray In tlmo to catch
the worms from oggs laid by thoso
early moths will suffer considerable
damage of tult.
It will probably require nt lonst
two weoks llmo for theso oggs to
hatch at this season of tho yoar,
nud If tho wonthor Is cool, longer.
With nvornge conditions, tho frst
covor spray will need to ho applied
this year so as to bo finished by
Juno 9th or 10th.

Why some men
seem to have all
the tire luck
YOU probably know n man whoso car la a
hobby with him, He knows just why it's
the best little old cor there is of its class.
And he'll stand up for that car against the
world in any kind of an argument
Year by year an increasing number of men
feel the samo way about U. S, Tires.
For a while they may try "job lot" stuff,
"bargains," "big discounts" and "rebates."
But usually it doesn't take long for a man to
sense the economy of the standard quality tire.
For years U, S.Tire makers hlwe been build
ing quality tires for sane tire users for the car
of medium or light weight no less than for the ,
heavy car.
The tire buyers of the land have responded
with u mighty U. S. Tire following.
The U.S. Tire makers meet the re
sponsibility for supplying thufdation
wide following with characteristic
energy.
Ninety-two U.S. Factory Branches
are established, covering the entire
country.
Find the U. S. Tire dealer who
has the intention of servingyou. You
will know him by his full, completely
sized line of fresh, live U. S.Tires
quality first, and the same choico
of size, trad and type as in the big
gest cities of the land.
