fflHOSE who are interested in the great principles of the repub
lican party and just, wise and conservative government have
used their best endeavors to further the continuance in office of a
creat. crood and wise man. 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

few years would elapse ere he would have at hand hid own posts
fuel and later his own building material.
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.

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. Percolation is so low
that large number of furrows are
necessary If suttlclent amount of
waUr Is to be supplied. Thus rs

vetch and rye and barley sown early
in September after late irrigations,
started readily and made fine growth.
An early cover crop of this nature
not only adds its own fibre to the soil,
but preventa the leaves from blowing
away, thua keeping them where they
will be of benefit. Those cover crops
which get a good start early In the
fall make the beat kind of protection
for the soil during the winter.
