“ U nder Governor W est’s plan, the money paid the C entral O r

unit would be used to complete and perfect the two units already

taxable lands and would make it possible for our farm ers and
ranchers to obtain loans on th e ir lands w ith which to stock up
th e ir places.

took these lands w ith the idea th a t the s ta te of Oregon was back

“The completion of these projects will mean thousands of dol

w ithout a new appropriation from the state, and our taxes will
be lowered instead of raised.”

The following from The Dalles Chronicle is applicable to every
com m unity w here a new spaper is published:
“There are more successful new spaper men in th e world than
can be found following any other vocation. Not m any of them
are in the new spaper business, however. In fact, only m ighty
few of the successful kind are in the business. The oth ers have
been too busy in holding up brick buildings or holding down dry
goods boxes, or a t divers o th er jobs, to get into the newspaper
game. But they all know ju s t how it should be done, and none
of those who are doing it ever get it ju s t th a t way. Therefore,
it is never done rig h t.
“ No newspaper, according to the fellows who have been too
busy to run one them selves, should ever express an opinion in
which they as readers, and possibly subscribers, do not concur.
T h a t’s a breach of new spaper ethics. But the trouble is, there
are 5000 readers, w ith 5000 thinks, each think of a different
brand, who know ju st w hat the paper ought to say and ju s t w hat
it ought to do, and unfortunately none of them quite agree with
the one or two deluded m ortals who, probably unable to m ake a
living carrying the hod or breaking rock, o r following the o th er
peaceful and respectable paths of duty, are try in g to run a paper
“ Did you ever stop to think ju st how absurd the position of
some of these critics is? asks the Rogue River Courier. The
new spaper is a quasi-public institution.
So also is the grocery
store, the pharm acy, the blacksm ith shop and the hotel a quasi
public institution. Did you ever try to put the hotel out of busi
ness because a t one or two or more meals it had som ething upon
its menu th a t did not appeal to your appetite or agree with your
digestion? Probably not. B ut it was your privilege, and you
were w ithin your rig h ts in exercising it if you wshed, to quit the
hotel and try another, or to go out in the back yard and eat
worms. The hotel will continue to run, however, and possibly its
patronage may increase on ju s t the culinary policy th a t you did
not like.
