What Is tho nnswor to H1I3 con dition? Hotter co-oporatlvo otforts; moro knowlcdgo and better caro In collecting seed, moro Information concerning markots; bottor business management. Now many of tho ranchers nro not to bo blamed for tho lack of good sood. In somo cases thoy tried to got it and fallod. In other cases they bought what thoy thought was certified eced and It proved Inferior. Hut $50,000 Is too much to pay for I080 mothods and lack of oxporlonce. If tho farmers will truly uso tho agency which thoy havo boforo thorn, tho markotlng organization of tho farm bureau thoy can savo them selves such loses. Tho loss thin year Is not tho last that may bo sufforod. Thoro nro other such years, nnd othor such conditions to bo facod. Surely the IcHson of this year should teach tho value pt co-oporatlon. WRECKING THE SCHOOLS Thrco of tho stnto's dally papors havo boon busy of lato diagnosing tho caso of tho schools, and their rotation to tho cost of government. All thrco proposo to reduco tho amount which thn taxpayers must pay, nnd each Iuib n different plan for tho solution. Tho throo loadors aro tho Orogon Ian, tho LaQrando Obscrvor and tho Gazolto-Tlmos, of Corvallls. TI10 Orcgonlan would havo School Hoard bo diligent In Its dutlos, cut out swimming pools nnd recreation contors nnd kocp within tho limits of tho tax roll pormlttod by tho votors. It doos not particularly urge tho curtallmont of educational functions. Tho Corvallls Oazutto-TlmcH would havo domestic sclonco, and similar studios ollmlnntod from primary nnd focondary schools and Icavo such training to tho colleges nnd univer sities. Tho Observer would go all tho way and cut down tho activities of both tho secondary schools nnd tho collcgos nnd universities llmltod to tho scopo of education of 40 years ago. Of tho throo, It will at onco ap pear to ovcryono that tho Orogonlan advocates tho only reasonable course. Swimming pools and recrea tional contors undoubtedly havo tholr vnluo, whon ono can afford them, but that tlnio Is not now, so far ns Orogon taxpayers aro con cerned. Hut to abolish thorn will not Injuro tho educational system. Tho Obsorvors romody, while It may bo deomod conslstont by thoso who would turn back tho hands of time, and hasten a return to tho day whon only tho sons nnd daughters of tho woalthy could liopo for edu cating, will not find much sympathy oxcopt from thoso big taxpayors whoso children aro already educated and thoso who havo no real concep tion of tho probloms of American democracy, Tho Gaxotto-Tlmos' plan, howovor vis nolthor conslstont nor logical. If any curtailment Is to bo imido In tho educational program, tho public will Justify tho elimination of what both the Observer and Oaxotto Tlmos, term tho ginger broad trim mings at tho schools -of higher looming. Tho peoplo nro not going to tam per with the foundation of thn edu cational structure. Upon tho com mon nnd secondary schools depend tho futuro of tho state and nation. Only two per coat 'of tho children of A nl erica over graduato from a col lego or university, and If saving of pxpenso Is tho objoct to bo sought, It had better bo at mo expeuso of tho two per cont and not of tho great body of children lu tho prim ary nnd secondary schools. Many of tho two per cont como from the homos of thoso who, no mnttor what tho stato might do, still could sccuro tho educational advan tages thoy desire In tho prlvato In stitutions of tho land, or In tho Universities of other statos. Hut Orogon Is not n parasitical stato. It will not ask othor states to furnish tho means whereby Its young mon and women may bo educated. No no of tho Journals that art ad vocating reduction In school expen ditures would udvocato that Orogon furnish advantages to two por cont of Its chltdron and deny tho samo advantages to the other 08 por cent In substauco that Is what tho Onz-etto-Tlmcs advocates, whlla tho Ob server would havo theso advantages romoved from all tho children. Tho value of education to tho stato Is so great, that It cannot bo Jeopardized. Upon it tho safoty of our system of government rests. Thoso who advocato Us partial de struction lmvu mlstakon tho mur- murlngs of a few taxpayers for tho volco of tho mass of tho peoplo. Tho echo of thoso murmurlngs will dlo away, but tho cry of tho peoplo for educational advantages for their chlldron will not coaso. In going as far as they havo In tholr domaiul for curtallmont of tho educational systom of Oregon tho Obsorvor nnd tho Gaxctto-Tlmes, porhnps unconsciously, manifest lack of faith In tho stability of OrtgonV prosperity. It Is true that business Is not what It was during war tlmos, but prosont cdndltlons aro not per manent. A brighter day Is dawning. 1,0 1 tho editors of pessimistic ap peals Imblbo somo of tho spirit of thoso who founded tho common school systom of this nntlon from which tho Institutions of this land havo dovolopod. Tho Argus would not havo ona dollar of tho taxpayers monoy wast ed, but If thoro Is ndvantago to tho collcgo nnd unlvorslty studonts In tho training offorod within tholr walls, then so far as thoy aro able to asslmllata thoso advantages, tho Argus would miiko It posslblo that thoy bo inado avallablo to all tho chlldron of tho stato through tho common school systom. Thus, and only thus enn tho houoflts of bone flclent govnrnmont bo fairly distri buted. Tho mon of Oregon spond as much monoy on tobacco In Its var ious forms ns the stato oxpomls on education. Whon tho tlmo comes to ollmlnato pno or the othor, lot tho tobacco go and kocp tho schools. This might bo rough on a lot of us, but It would bo worth the price. Undo Sam has exports ongagod In an effort to systematize his busi ness. Old Man Orogon might woll havo somo ono In his omploy to por- form a similar service. Tho methods now In voguo for reaching tho as sessed valuo of property In this stato aro noodlcssly oxpenslvo and not ef ficient. MALHEUR COUNTY' ItKAIi ESTATE TRANSFERS RECORDED JULY' flO'TO AUG.
