O. K. Atkon, Managing Editor MMMMMMMMMMMMMi 8UUSCKIPTION........One Yoar, 2.00 THE HLTOKT COURTEOUS A ranchor who read last wook'8 Argus editorial oil tho coming of tlio Jap to Mainour county, and who whllo In gonoral agreeing with the argumont thorofn, anBWurod tho Ar gus thus: "It will bo all right and consist ent for tho inon In tho cities nnd towns to objoct to tho fannors rout ing tliolr land to tho Japs, when thoy as business men, stop rontlng down town property to Jap business men, Jap rostaurnnts and tho like." Tho Argus bolloves that argumont is well taken. It Is consistent, and tho Argus subscribes to that com pletely. Tlioro Is no donylng tho fact thnt tho standard or living of tho Jap nnd tho whltoman Is. not tho samo, and It docs not rouulro any consid erable thought to roallzo that In competition botweon tho two racos such as would rosutt with tho aug menting of tho Jap population In thin section, only ono of two things can bappen: Ktthor tho Japanese standard of living would havo to rise to tho Amorlcan standard or tho American standard lowor to that of tho Japanoso. Thero Is nmplo proof extant that tho tendoncy In all such cases Is for tho higher standard to bo lowered, rather thnn tho lower to bo ralsod. That being truo, wo wonder If tho mon who nro so anxious, nnd who aro rontlng their lnnd to Japs and seeking othor Japs to como to this section, do for thomsolves dcslro to soo tho Amorlcan living standards loworod? Further admitting tho validity of tho ranchers' objection that tho city man has no right to object to the ranchors renting to Japs as long as business mon rent to them In tho cities, Is It not truo thnt tho business mon who rent to Japs, would them- solvos object If a colony of Japs wero to niovo Into tholr own neigh borhood nnd thoy hnd to llvo sur rounded by them 7 Wo bollovo thoy would. plainly to tho conclusion that tho city council has but ono thing to do to savo the wator systomj namely to rnlso tho rates to a placo whore tho consumer will pay tho cost of the Borvlco. THYIN'O Till! IMPOSSIBLE Ontario for many yeari has boon attempting to perform tho Impos sible. This city linH tho most ex ponslvo water syBtom Is this soctlon. It wnB built nt a time when costs woro almost at a peak. Further more this systom sorves tho most wldol scattorcd community In tho vnlloy, nnd therefore has tho small est number of users por mllo of main to bo found horoabout. And yot, In splto. of these facts, Ontario has bcon ondoavorlng to do llvor wntor to tho pcoplo of this city nt a cost of less by one-third of that chargod by any or its neighbors. Tho very statomont of tho condi tion shows tho utter Impossibility of accomplishing this. It also points Mkf' YpU certainly want to save money, nnd you would like to bavo better baking.

Tlioro Is no roasoti thoy should, It thoy havo tho courago of tholr convictions nnd nro Btncoro In tholr bcllof that tho Fair will bo an Immonso bcnoflt to Portland. K tho hoostors aro determined thoy will sccuro tho monoy In Portland nnd In soino of tho othor commun ities nearby whoro tho henoflts will ho sufficiently direct to bo recog nizor. Howovor, thoy should bo con vinced by this time thnt tho pedplo of tho Btato nro In no humor to con sider n tnxntton schomo to put on thb bIiow. 'Howovor tho pcoplo niny feel nboul tho Fair, thero Is certainly no oxcuso for tho childishness with which somo of tho pooplo of tho stnto aro attacking Portland,. Lord knows. It has beon nbusod enough. In tho first place, tho pcoplo of tho up stnto, and thnt Includes Enntorn Oregon, should romombor thnt n largo delegation of citizens wont to Portland nnd told'thom that tho pooplo of tho stato wero for tho Fair. Thoy may havo honestly thought so, hut thnt does not chango tho facts, and tho pcoplo of Portlnnd hnd overy roason to bollovo thnt at Ioast tlioro wau sotnothlng In tholr declarations, nnd acted accordingly. In tho second placo, tho pooplo or Eastorn Orogon nnd of tho Wlllam otto Vnlloy, too, ought In all con- sclonco romombor that It was Mult nomah county that nut ovor nnd Is paying tho largest portion of tho road program to tho bonoflt of ovory soctlon of tho stato. It was Multnomnh county, too, that by Its nfflrmntlvo voto approved of tho constitutional amendment porflttlng tho guarantoo of Irrigation district bonds. Portlnnd mny hnvo bcon mlstnkon nbout tho temper or tho up-stnters on tho question of tho Fair for thoy bollovcd what n lot of up-stntors told thorn. But that Is no roason for getting nil "hot up" and Jumping on Portlnnd all sprawlod out us somo of tho boys aro doing. Whon this Fair Bqunbblo is nil over, Portland will still bo Portland, and Enntorn Orogon will sttll bo on tho tnnp, needing nnd securing Portland's co operation for tho ndvancoment of tho stnto's Interest. OREGON RECEIVES BENEFIT OF NATIONAL GUARD FUND State's Guard Ha Shown Largo In crenso During Pnst cnr Mnny New Unit Planned For Orogon has derived a profit of 1110,077 In tho oporatlon of Its Na tional Guard during tho past year, according to an annual financial statomont Issued by Geo.

Blslntlon nnd class politics, still It Is hard to tako at tholr faco valuo tho hoctlo fumoe of tho publications which nro condemning tho so-cnllod Farmer Dloo In tho Senate Without a doubt, tho mon who composo tho so called bloc aro as pa triotic Amoricans aa any to bo found In tho hall of Congross; tholr only fault Is that thoy nro opon and abovo board In tolling what thoy wnnt whon thoy want it. Without any designation thoro has boon, at loast according to pop ular bollof, a bloc or gang, or crowd, or whatovor-namo-you-may want-to-cnll-lt; whoso solo Intorost was In protecting tho manufactur ing soctlon ot America through tho ngency of high protoctlvo tariff. U that was Justltlcahlo and thoro aro thoso who declare It Is who aro now condemning the farmer-bloc; thon tho latter Is JUstlttcablo. Wo cannot soo tho logical differ ence in tho argumonts which gener ally might ho summarized as follews: "Wo neod the nrotectlon far Am. erlcan manufacturers so that thoy can pay high wages to tholr em ployees who can then pay high prlcos for Amorlcan farmers' pro ducts;" And that othor argument: "Wo want protoctioa for the pro ducts of tho American farm so that tho farmor can pay high price for tho manufactured products which aro mado by high paid American la borers." If ono Is to accept ono of these arguments it follo.wa that to bo con sistent ho must accept tho other.
