and were fully entitled to the county
agent and club leader.
County Commissioner Harris said
by observing at the last budget meet
ing lots of farmers voted against
the club leader and the county agent
he thought they were not popular. Al
bert Gasser of Clarkes stated that the
)- county agent was popular at Clarkes.
'c He also said the agent was doing his
" best to promote farming and help in
- every way he could, and the farmers
of Clarkes were organized and able
to take advantage of the help of -the
county agent. If people in other lo
calities were not united and would
not ask any help, or let the county
agent know tHeir difficulties, the agent
could not help them personally. I
am sure the county agent would re
spond to the best of his ability.

He has some very nice young plants.
Je thinks the freeze was not bad for
the piants as the oungshrubs are
coming through the ground very swift
ly. The buds on the last year grow
ing cane were all green and are get
ting longer. Loganberries should
bring a better price next summer.
E. E. Berger, Clyde Ringo and Al
bert Gasser are improving their farms
with new fences.
Coming in the near future is a mar
ket road from Clarkes to Oregon
City.
The people demand a market road
and the county court is on the fence
but the court is liable to come off
the fence to the sunny side, almost
any time, so look for the sun.

THE PEOPLE'S SAY
Merry Vale Farm, Barlow, Ore.,
January 19. 1922.
Editor Enterprise:
I am on my way to Salem as a mem
ber of the state senate if some boul
der or other pebble does not prevent
me from obtaining a plurality of
votes. Right off the bat I want to
warn my friends not to contribute
more to my campaign funds than the
law allows, and also to keep me post
ed. , It would be very embarrassing to
me with such tender feelings like New
berry to have the senate seat me and
then stick on a paragraph saying I
was either an ass or a knave.
I stand for definite ideas and prin
ciples, which if enacted into law
would be to the best interests of the
big majority of Oregon. Therefore
I offer no apology for casting my
name before you.
A state income tax on all incomes
above a certain figure, whether on in
dividual or corporations is the first
timber in my platform. It is one of
the quickest, fairest and most feasi
ble means of adjusting the tax bur
dens in Oregon.
I favor the enactment of an amend
ment to the constitution to cut mil
lage law for higher education to one
half of what it is now. They have
become too much of a burden for the
value received until the rural and
graded schools are better cared for,
and the people are better off. Re
member only 8 out of every 100 chil
dren who attend the elementary
schools, ever get to these higher
schools, yet these higher schools,
O. A. C, and U of O. are regular mil
lionaire's palaces. Give the boys
and girls in the elementary schools
a better chance. Then if they de
velop special ability to warrant their
going on, even if the income of the
higher schools is cut in two, means
will be found for their continuance in
schools.
Favor changes in fish and gams
law. Make them to the interests of
the average person who pays so much
for them. Cut the license for fish
ing and hunting license in two. Raise
i it for commercial fishermen. Allow
the angler in Oregon City to sell his
I three fishes per day, if he wishes.
I am tired of taxing the entire state
for the commercial small class of com
mercial fishermen. Likewise of pat
ting a prohibitory $3 license on a
farmer who may wish to hunt a couple
of days in the fall for the pheasants
that he has fed from his grain fields
all summer.
I stand for class legislation. But
"che class I would represent is the 90
i jer cent of our population who so
ten per cent of the legislature and
state officials. In fact it may do bet
ter, judging the future by the past.
I heartily agree with the Farm Bu
reau in practically all of their econ
omic aims, and will do all I can to
put them in to law, where they will
aid or even do most good. I believe
in electing men who hold your ideas.
Do not elect men who hold opposite
ideas, and then aiter they are elected,
expect to send a lobby to Salem to
get them to betray the interests that
sent them there, and vote your ideas.
It is not playing the game square.
You country and city workers, it"
you join in to elect men who are
nnt ir-u-, ki- .intmta
Cldckamaa county youhave no moral
tQ tQ youf
terests at Salem because you lobby
with them there. If they are men
they will look after the big interests
that sent them there first. If there
are any crumbs left, they will toss
them to you as a sop. So kind vot
ers, pick your men now. If you get
beat by letting big business divide
your vote, be a sport. Don't send
a whining, begging lobby to Salem. Re
solve to get together in 1924, then
nominate and elect your men. You
have the power in your votes, if you
will combine them by using the in
telligence God gave you.
If you survive this, more will fol
low on useless commissions, improper
methods of taxation and failure to
get value received lor taxes collected.
White Blackberries Are
Red When They're Green
The color really doesn't make so
much difference as long as we know
it to be a blackberry. The main
consideration is not to confuse the
fruit with a toadstool and get pois
oned. Here is where nature is kind,
for a blackberry is always a black
berry and never resembles a toad
stool. Now a human is merely a bit of
nature of another type and, like the
blackberry, his appearance doesn't
matter so much, if you really know
what he. is,. . But-man is not subject
to the strict laws which nature im
poses on vegetation; hence his ap
pearances and environments are large
ly his own making.
Fine discrimination among human
beings is, therefore, a matter of learn
ing to read character and motives, in-

stead of pretenses. A lavish buyer
may be a short change artist or a
forger; fine clothes do not always
conceal a fat purse. It i;i foolish to
suspect everybody but it's better to
be sure than be sorry. ;
Coats- Off! Look Out for Spring!
Monday was a spring day. Take a
tuck in your coat-tail to remember it
by. if one doesn't come this way
soon again. Mr. Ground-hog made- a
record for himself this time, when the
tender-hearted Oregon mists shielded
his sensitive eyes from the sun's glare
on that notorious second of February.
Some feel the advent of spring
quickly among men, I mean and im
mediately peel down to shirt-sleeves
and low collars; others are wary about
parting with overcoat and slicker. Of
course women are always dressed
for spring anyway, except for the in
evitable fur neckpiece, and that pre
vents sunstroke in summer. Their
feelings are not delicate and sensitive
like men's.
We feel that we have paid for
spring through torment of storm and
snow and slush and slop, not to men
tion just plain freezing. However,
if the price goes up, we will just nat
urally pay in full.
Structures That Fail
Every so often a hundred or more
innocent people pay with their lives
for somebody's corruption or careless
ness. The Knickerbocker theatre is
the latest example.
Structures do not fall down with
the weight of years of faithful ser
vice; they cave in while comparative
ly new a glaring evidence of moral
rot not materia 1 decay. Any man
who is willing to accept a dollar in
pay for fifty cent's worth of service
should feel the weight of his own
corruption crashing about his head.
Such men usually stay out of the
buildings they have botched.
Engineers know precisely how any
structure must be built to provide a
sufficient factor of safety. Such dis
asters are seldom a fault of design;
the first weakening is in the moral
fibre. Somebody wants to make an
extra million. Happily, such occur
ances are rare. Much praise for the
worthy engineer and builder.
Passing of the Old Suspension
The old suspension bridge is pass
ingright under the eyes of scores
of persons who saw it rise in all its
glory. Thirty-three years is not such
a long span and the old strucfure
would still be rendering good service,
if it still were carrying the loads it

"Trouble"
Behind your telephone service is the "plant"
a complicated mechanical equipment of
poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments,
etc., criefully adjusted and absolutely depend
ent on perfect construction and maintenance.
The "plant" is constantly subject to accident
and outside interference. Storms, fires, the
carelessness of workmen, the pranks of children,
concealed defects of material all play their
part.
The telephone company maintains a skilled
force whose sole duty is to quickly restore serv
ice interrupted from any cause. Your lines are
constantly watched and tested.
In the case of trouble we are generally the
first to know it, but a notification to our Com
plaint Department when there is anything
wrong will be appreciated.

was designed to hold. The thunder
ing motor truck was not considered
in those old. spans, nor were those
long, sneaky, smoothly gliding pass
enger busses: these are the real rea
sons why the bridge is going the way
of old "Dobbin."
The very instrument of the old
bridge's destruction is a young up
start, not to be mentioned with the
veneration of cable spans. That tiny,
sharp, fierce tongue- of flame which
literally eats away in seconds the
tough steel fixtures that have endur
ed the acid blasts from the paper
miils for a third of a century: the
oxy-acetiine blowpipe. Such a savage
force could, in a short time, sever
the main cables and drop the old
span into the river.
We are living faster but do we have
any more fun? ' . "
Wonders of Wireless
Mr. Beverlin sits in his home at
Mountain View and listens to the
voice of Mr. Hawley in his home in
Portland. Musical melodies, songs
in fact real concerts come to the
ears of those whose instruments are
tuned to catch the wireless wave.
Lucky is the man who, like Mr. Bev
erlin, has a young son interested in
the wonders of wireless. Any youth
ful genius can rip up a very satisfac
tory wireless outfit that is, if dad
will pay the bills and provide the
lamily with high class amusement.
A peep at the future would reveal
first class wireless equipments in
stalled in most well-to-do homes. An
nouncements will be sent out from
various headquarters on topics of In
terest, at specified times. Theaters
will adopt them first and musical en
tertainments will be produced by wire
less from the tage. Thus is the
world becoming better and better ac
quainted. Buying And Selling Revised
