K. Aiken, Managing Editor Mnmammammwm BUDBOIUPTION On Yoar, f 2.00 CHMBTMA8 1021 Nlnotoen hundrod and twonty-ono yoara ago tlio world rccolvod tho greatest Chrlstmns messogo of nil tlmo, ono that has rung down tho ngoa, nn Inspiration to bettor living and bottor fooling among mon. Though tho world has had tho tuos sago, "Pcaco on Garth, good will to Mon," that Idoal condition has novor boon attained. Through tho agog It Boomed almost boyoud the dreams of man; yet mon havo dreaiuod on In each generation. Tho pendulum has swung on backward. and forward and wars followod years of compara tive peace, succosstvo efforts to bring tho nations Into a realization of tho futility of war as tho suro way to Justlco, has mado progross. Novor has tho dream of universal pcaco scomod closer to Its realization 'than It Is today whon tho groat na tions fcuiomblod In Washington havo through tholr representatives frank ly prosontod a program which ap peals to tho hearts and conscience i of all tho world. Tho success which has so far markod tho progross of tho conforenco bids rlso to tho hopo that Christmas this yoar wilt find tho Issuanco of nnothor mossngo, confirming that given tho Wtso Mon an thoy Journeyed toward Hctholhom. Tho consummation of tho program lat Washington will glvo us reason Uor Christmas cboor. It will moro pan offset all tho trials and tribu- Itttlons of a yoar fraught with defi nition and trials. Tho burdens of Mho world will bo Ilghtor, and with Nfje knowlodgo that thoy will bo ro- trod of tho torrlblo toll of wnr now pos and ambitions will surgo In minds and hoarts of mon ovory- whoro, so that thoy will tnko up with jronowod vigor tho dally tasks of pcaco. ' That is all tho world neods to bring back to oarth tho prosperity which produces happiness, which makos Christinas) chcor a living thing.. No mattor what our sta tion, no matter what our condition, wo hero In Amorlca should not loso ono ray of Christmas cheer this yoar, for wo havo suffered less than all mankind, and moro, through tho great and good govornmont of our pooplp, devoid of avarlco, Booking nnught tliivt Is not Justly ours, wo havo furnished tho agoncy with which to draw tho nations of tho world Into accord. In that thought of having boon of oorvlco to .nIL man kind. Amorlca this year can echo tho mossago of old, "pcaco on earth, good will to mon." T1IK KPKCIAIi SE8BIO.V Whon this was wrltton In Port land on Monday, It was apparent that tho effort to put tho fair tax bill on tho ballot, by an act of tho legis lature Is not to havo an easy tlmo. In fact, it seemed almost doomed to n falluro If real proporty Is to be taxod for Its support. Judging by tho sontlinont gathorcd at Pendleton during tho Irrigation Congress and In tho lobby of tho In portal, tho lawmakoro from tho sago brush and from tho uppor roaches of tho Wlllamotto, woro not enjoying tho situation. Thoy woro not at that tlmo, at least, for tho fair program. Tho thing which worried them, at loast somo of thorn, was that It thoy should dofoat tho moasuro In tho lo- glslaturo and thou havo It submlttotlJ to tho pooplo by tho pooplo by thp In itiative petition, and It cnrrlod In nn election, how could thoy run for any oftlco which would roqulro tho voto of I'ortlcidors. It must bo realized that nearly ovory legislator has n hankorlng for somo stato Job hlghor up. At tho present tlmo, with tho tax payers In cvory soctlon Just through with budgot sosslons, opposition to tho Kalr is at Its height. Tho legis lature knows this, and knows that tho statowldo publicity campaign has not boon started, and whllo it Is al- Gifts That Please Diamonds, Watches, Jewehy . High Grade Novelties Ivory and Silverware most cortaln that tho Kalr wltl bo de feated In tho up stato districts, It will carry so overwhelmingly In Port land that tho outcomo Is doubtful. Everywhere over tho state, It Is apparent, a realization has been roachod that Oregon has reached a stato of slnglo tax by tho back door; that real ostato Is taxed out of prlvato hands; tho limit tins boon roachod. That realization, porhaps, moro than anything elso Is causing tho legislators to pausa. And for that roason It is bollovod hero by obsorvcrs from outstdo of Portland that tho Fair measure wltl not go on tho ballot with tho sanction of tho loglBlaturo. Whon this is printed howovor, this prediction may provo falso, for thoro Is no doubting tho fight that tho Fair bunch Is putting up at Salem, but It thoy do win they wilt havo furnished a real surprlso for somo koon prophets. COI.ON1ZI3 Till: IANI)H Whllo 'not curtailing Its cnthusl asm for tho. reclamation of Oregon lands by Irrigation, tho members of tho oxacutlvo commlttco and tho mombors of tho Oregon Irrigation Congress In session at Pendleton last wook manifested 'a groator Intorest in tho colonization of lunds already roclalmod. Tills Is tho socond phaso of tho re clamation movement which has occu pied tho altontlon of Eastern Oro gohlans for many years. It Is need less to say to anyono In this section of tho stato that Irrigation without sottlemont Is almost useless, but It Is nocossary for tho Irrigation Con gress to Impress this fact upon tho pooplo on tho wcstsldo whero thoy aro not as consorvant with tho prob lems of Eastern Oregon as they should bo. Tho thing that Impresses ono from khls section Is tho need of making tho pooplo now on Irrigated lands prosperous. That Is a task to which tho Congress wltl direct Its efforts too, In conjunction with tho officials of tho Agricultural collcgo and Fed oral dopartments. To us It Is tho most Important tnsk. Whot. tho set tlors on Irrigated tracts aro placed upon tho road to permnnont prosper ity It will bo easy to socuro settlors, and with tho .domaud for Irrigated lands Increasing, tho quostlon of re claiming moro lands can bo attacked with moro enthusiasm.
