We have failed. The restlessness of the wage earnerisnot to be condemned, the greed THE PEOPLE and pride of our corporate creations is not suf DEMAND ficiently curbed. People suffering from want, on the verge of starvation are not able to repress their impatience. While we realize the difficulties of the situation, realize that undue haste creates confusion and generally results in bad legis tion, it is not to be denied or to be lightly passed over that the present condition of the factory workers must soon be remedied. The demands of unjust fixed charges which the consumer must pay, and to meet which the cost of production is forced to the low est possible limit permitting existance to the operatives, and the price to the consumer the highest limit measured by their ability ta pay, must be reduced. There is no just reason why the consumer should pay interest on the huge volume of water which has been poured into our in dustrial and railroad securities the past generation. If it must come to the point that innocent purchasers of watered securities must be the sufferers, or that millions of operatives shall live on starvation wages, the sea of despair about to engulf them, the numbers of the one must be placed against the numbers of the other. If the members of the Plunderbund are determined to force the issue, it will be squarely met, but it is unfortunate that they, the powerful wealthy, will not read history and neither see nor try to interpret the plain hand writing on the wall; that they do not consider that the handwriting and interpretation thereof may come, as of old, but a few short hours before the blow is struck; they do not, heed the growling thunder of the overwhelming avalanche and take the easy way of averting the destruction lurking in its path They are taking no heed of the wailings of the wronged, the outstreched arms of suffering children, nor the savage growls of overworked slaves; they seem to invite the destructive retribu tion which has always fallen upon the oppressor. The people hope for a sane, legal, fair and just reorganization of the business affairs of our nation and of the great corporations the nation has created, but it is be recognized that the reorganiza tion must come and come soon. ON the third and fourth of January 1913 the people of Vale will have an opportunity to meet and entertain the delegates to the Wool Growers convention of the state of Oregon. Malheur county is the banner wool growing district of the United States, and to this industry the city of Vale is in WOOL GROWERS' debted for much of its prosperity. The CONVENTION members of this delegation will proceed from Vale directly to Cheyenne to attend the national convention and as they find us, so will they report us, therefore it behooves the citizens of the wool center to Commence early to make the suitable preparations for their entertainment. Mr. C. H. Oxman, who is one of our largest wool growers, is a member of the association and greatly interested in having the delegates meet with a hearty reception as he was instrumental in bringing them here. Mr. McKnight and Mr. Oxman, are on the committee appoint ed by the Vale Chamber of Commerce to give the matter attention. THE ''horse is stolen". The people have been deprived of their opportunities and the wealthy Lumber Barons cannot be made to return the lands they have acquired through dishonest methods; prosecutions will follow but there is no reason to think that they will be any more successful in the future than they CONSERVATION have been in the past. However, this mon opoly can be utterly and completely destroyed by the poeple with a beneficial result to themselves and to pros perity as well. The railroads can grow their own ties and bridge timber; farm ens can grow their own fence posts and fire-wood as well as all other lumber they may need. Substantiating this it is well known that California has been cutting new growth of redwood for more than twenty-fiive years, end Maine has been cutting practically nothing but new growth for the past thirty or more years. In Maine a number of men have received large sums for tim ber which has grown in their life time. This result has been accomplished through the efforts of na ture, no foreat mismanagement has interfered to prevent. Millions of ttortm of the land grant railroad could he, and ihould be, planted and with a trifling amount of care in a few yearn would produce tU In abundance and, in twelve or fifteen yean would produca polo, In twenty five year would produce all tlio UUu (hither all thd rouU in the OMintry would iird.

This, however, practical it may be, will not be done unless ac tion is forced by proper legislation and governmental control. Against this will be raised the objection that it is paternalism; yet is not our present conservation paternalism, is not our Interstate Commerce Law paternalism, is not our proposed trust regaulation paternalism? Our present conservation of power and forest management policy i3 not only paternalism but a direct step towards government monopoly, far more harmful than private monopoly. nance LAWSONIAN HYPHENATION ffTTlVERYBODYS" is now engaged in a warfare on the New J-i York Stock Exchange; their pollysyllabic leader, being the same Tom Lawson of Boston, Mass., who wrote "Frenzied Fi- j i: j -t i a pu: m r some seven and one half millions through the medium of Alaska Yukon Gold stock. Judging from the condition of the stock market, and copper in particular, the Lambshearing" fraternity, of whom Lawson is one. of the most successful leaders, is making ready to unload on the public again All the ills that the American public is suffering from, accord ing to this great political economist, could at once be cured by the abolishment of the exchange. There is being rehashed the socialistic doctrines of Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill and a number of others of lesser note who lived prior to the development of steam and electricity and who reason ed from the abstract to the unknowable, this rehash is clothed in language certainly inelegant enough to please the veriest disciple of the "Appeal to Reason" and will probably attract the readers of Everybodys" for a time by its unusualness. The New York Stock Exchange is hardly to be blamed for the cutting up of the west into small farms thereby destroying the huge stock ranges and forcing the great herds of cattle to be broken up, put on the market or scattered among small farmers. Never again in this country will beef be raised in large herds, the day of the cowboy is past and the day of low priced beef will never come again though all the stock exchanges ' in the country are destroyed. This may be said of many of the necesities as well as the lux uries of our civilization. To squeeze the water out of the railroads and trusts and pre vent its burdensome increase is greatly to be desired, but it is to be hoped that the "Geletinized Shrimps," as Mr. Lawson desig till t1 1 natea tne puonc some years since, win read his remedy, agree with him if they like, but will not thereby be inveigled into assist ing him to pick their own pockets again. A GREAT political upheaval has taken place in the country and affairs will do well to remember that it is not their own personality that has placed them in the seats of the mighty, but that it is through the determination of the people to obtain PR03IISES MUST long delayed and long denied justice that BE KEPT their election is due. The people will look for the performance of a fair portion of the pre-election promises, but years must not be allowed to pass and valuable time consumed in desultory discussion and parliamentary politeness permitting a cunning minority to prevent proper legislation. This has been the rule in the past; the main cause of the fail ure to get satisfactory and beneficial legislation has been the ob structions thrown in the way by the members of "the party now holding the reins of government, for political purposes only. If they will now change their methods and give us the needed relief the country will be grateful and will be likely to show its gratitude by future favors. It was understood that there was to be an election on Tuesday ast, but it seem3 to have been simply a ratification meeting, patience, patience, it has happened before and will happen again, o ! these many times. ', "Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth". If true, He certainly oved the Taft wing of the Republican party. However, that our prosperity may receive no check it will be proper for the defeated to forget politics and forget political ani mosities proceeding in the management of their business with re newed determination not to have hard times. GROWING ORCHARD COVER CROPS Good Protection to Soil Through Winter and Give Added Humus to the Land The importance of the growing of cover crops in orchards is emphasixtd in a recent bulletin on orchard irriga tion issued by the Oregon Agricultu ral College. "Cover crops add humus and fibre to the soil," says the bulletin, "the fibre adds to the moisture-holding capacity of the light soils and make the heavier types more friable, the lily handled. Any soil of high clay or silt contend and low In organic matter Is not only difficult to handle with respect to cultivation, but a No as to irrigation. "This type of soil takes up water very slowly.
