He is the kind the bank likes to do business Whatever the size o f the obligation, be it $50.00 or $5,000.00, if a man cannot meet it when due, he should be at the bank on the dot and explain why. The bank is al ways ready and willing to explain anything in connection with its own business and expects its customers to do the same. No man should have anything in his business that he cannot lay bare before his banker. However much he may think he has a right to cover up things regarding his business from the public, this “ right” does not extend to his banker, and unless he is willing to give his banker his en tire confidence he has no right to expect the assistance it is in the power o f the banker to render. The joy of the banker’s heart is the man who may be absolutely depended upon first, last, and all the time. If any young man starting in business has an idea that character is not a business asset of the highest order, let him talk to some banker about it, and he will have cause to change his mind. We solicit the business of a few more dependable men.

Brown died here Monday IS HELO CONSTITUTIONAL A Salem dispatch of July 1 says: When the Supreme Court today handed down an opinion holding that the act passed by the recent leg islature appropriating $450,000 for the Columbia Southern project was constitutional. Justice Charles L. Mc- Nary. recently appointed a member of that tribunal, wrote his Brat Im portant opinion. Contending that the bill waa un constitutional, L. H. McMahan, a lo cal attorney, several weeks ago In stituted a suit to enjoin the Secre tary of State and the State Treasur er from expending the money, but Judge Galloway ruled against hint, and the decision by the Supreme Court today affirms his decision. The moat serious objection raised against the act by McMahan was that It was without the purview of legis lative authority to lay a tax upon all the people and expend the money for a few. calling Into question section 20 o f article I of the constitution Other objections were that the act was a special or local law. and that It pledged the credit of the state, but the court brushed them aside with a short discussion. Referring to the objection that the act levied a tax on all the people for the benefit o f a few. the court saya: “ We think this point Introduces the most serious aspect of the case The plaintiff with much earnestness Tom night rathor auddenly.

The Spokesman for good printing contends that the act affords undue advantages to a favored few In Crook county at the expense of all other taxpayers in the state. The facts stipulated by counsel show that about 23,000 acres have been deed ed to private parties. Yet the stat ute provides that the Desert Land Roard shall nrake necessary con tracts for the sale and delivery of water to the lands of said private parties. While persons holding pri or contractual rights have a call up on the state for an allowance of credits upon all moneys paid to the defaulting companies under the or iginal contract, yet they must enter Into a new contract with the state and otherwise conform to the rules prescribed by the Desert I^tnd board. Thus It will be seen that all persons who have a prior contract are treat ed alike, and that aa a class no spe cial privileges are granted to one and withheld from another, but that all. coming within a prescribed class, enjoy the same privileges and Im munities.” The above decision means that work on the Columbia Southern Ir rigation project that was started the forepart of June, but held up on ac count of an Injunction gotten out by McMahan, will now be resumed and the completion of the project pushed forward as rapidly as possible. Mr. Fester— This thing of buying a hat every month is getting to be an old story. Mra. Pester— Maybe ao. but this la a new one on me. MOST OF THIS WAS SOWN IN THE REDMOND DISTRICT AND NEXT YEAR GOOD RETURN'S MILL BEGIN TO MATERIALIZE FROM THE CROI* The Spokesman is informed by re liable authority that during the sea son of 1913 nearly 12 tons of alfalfa seed were sold here by different dealers, and planted in the immedi ate vicinity of Redmond. This large amount of seed. It is estimated by those In a position to know, was suf ficient to seed 3000 acres. This new acreage, taken together with the ea- tlmated 1500 acres formerly In al falfa. makes a total of 4500 acre* of alfalfa now growing in the Redmond District. Some of the alfalfa sown thla year will yield a first cutting this fall. It is said, and all of It will be at Its best next fall. It has been said, and the writer haa heard the statement made, that this was not an alfalfa country— that the soil was not deep enough. Such statements have been proved false by the continued yield that has been taken from alfalfa fields here In the past three years. If the soil was not adapted to growing alfalfa It does not look reasonable that the farmers would put In 3000 acre* of this crop this year. Continued on Page 4 i » —
