state. Seyeral firms offered very creditable exhibits of merchandise.
The weather was ideal, everything went off on schedule and genuine
credit is due those who furnished the exhibits and to the officers who bore,
the responsibility.
The one great barrier-to huge success, however, was the Lack of
Interest on the part of the people themselves."' There should have been two
or three times the attendance. More exhibits should have been in place from
the many excellent stock and grain ranches of the county. The great problem
is to stimulate greater effort.
To offer more attractive prizes is one way to obtain exhibits. To in
crease the scope and improve the entertainment features is a second. - Another
is to make more attractive the grounds, buildings and sanitary features; And
all of these things cost, money, though this should be forthcoming. In part, at
And all , thy hues were born in heast, from the increased interest and attendance. The state and county both
iena aid. . - .
The suggestion to employ a man by the year to conduct a model poultry
farm; to make the land, otherwise unused, productive of crops; to repair and
keep the buildings and fences in first-class condition, is good. The right kind
of an employee would earn for the county more than his wages. His efforts,
too, could be utilized, both directly and indirectly, in increasing Interest and
incme. to this most worthy county project. It is hoped the matter will be
taken up at the budget meeting in December and given the consideration
man anything, but to love one another.
Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself. Romans 13:
9, 9.
IN THE "OPEN"
REGON CITY'S recall organ offered to its readers, on Tuesday of this
J week, another marvelous display of information (?) anent the recall of
the county judge. Its statements are so evasive, indefinite or secretive, that
they should help kill the effects of whatever effort has been put forth in
attempting a recall. - .
We emphasize words of quotations from the said recall organ for
the purpose of interpretation and to show the kind of methods employed in
working up recall sentiment: "Financial aid of CONSIDERABLE proportion,
is UNDERSTOOD to have been pledged to the COMMITTEE sponsoring the
recall" "following A meeting held by the ORGANIZATION, Mon
day afternoon."
"The MEETING was OPEN and a number of LOCAL BUSINESS men
ARE SAID to have attended."
"NEW counts, not yet bared, to be used in campaign INDICATION of
statements. "Juvenile court MAY BE base of charge," are headliners of the
report.
According to the above "financial" aid is UNDERSTOOD. The recall
organ seems here uncertain, quite so. The treasurer, whose identity has not
been disclosed to the public, should make the matter plain.
And since the recall is a public instrument, wielded in the public in
terest, there should be no indefiniteness, no secret or semi-secret procedure.-.
These conditions surrounding a recall are, in themselves, sufficientrsreasons
for the recall of recalls. Open, above-board action is -demanded in every
movement of this kind.
Who are the members of this "Committee"? "A" meeting was held
by the "Organization." The public asks: WHERE was it held? Was it in
a business place or on the street? It is usual for newspapers to publish the
names o leaders present at a meeting of so great importance as this. Why
were they not published?
Why should not those "LOCAL " BUSINESS" men present at this
''OPEN" meeting on Monday, have been accorded the honor of being present
and engaged in the effort of recall, in the bold (?) report of the meeting? .
Why was. this "OPEN" meeting not announcced in some OPEN way,,;
so that ALL the newspapers of Clackamas county might have obtained the
proceedings at first hand? The Banner-Courier offers free the use of its
columns to advocates of the recall for notices of recall meetings or to present
the bases Tf the. recall charges. It offers free space in its columns also for
arguments both for and against the recall. But it has not been able, so far,
to even locate said meetings.
The report of the Monday's meeting states there are "INDICATIONS"
of "NEW eounts NOT YET bared." This is rank comment on the whole pro
cedure. Several weeks have elapsed since the first secret meeting was
imagined, or held, and to be still trying to "dig up" "counts", ought to dis
gust the voters with the whole thing. And as a headliner the report says
the "Juvenile court MAY BE base of charge." Already it has been given
out that this IS the basis of one of the five charges a' slight memory lapse.
And NEITHER the REAL leaders nor the real Bases for the recall have
yet been made public is the general belief expressed.
The kind of procedure employed from the first has brought upon the
whole movement distrust and condemnation. ' f
' - WHY?
rHREE initiated measures are refused place on the November ballot as a
result of false certification and fraudulent signatures. Of these three
measures the income tax: bill, sponsored by the State Grange, is one of the
most far-reaching and, next to the compulsory education bill, was expected
to encounter the bitterest opposition.
There is yet untouched by legal procedure, however, another Income
tax bill initiated by a class of individuals who were and are opposed to the
graduated income feature of the Grange measure. This measure, so far un
attacked, and which, unless some one or some organization with money enougn
will move its exclusion in the courts, will probably go on the November ballot.
Its outstanding feature is a flat rate on incomes. The advantage of this kind
of tax over the Grange measure, to those who oppose" an effective Income in
come tax, is obvious.
On the flat income tax petitions are 7,064 names, certified to falsely by
notaries, while on the Grange income tax petitions are only 4,231 names, to
which these same notaries certified falsely.
Jf the one measure is so flagrantly wrong that it is attacked in the
courts and kept off the ballot, why shouldn't the other be kept off also? What
are state and county officers, who know these facts, doing to enforce the laws
IMPARTIALLY, as they are sworn to do? What has become of the Attorney
General's office in Oregon, that the chief and deputies make no move to make
justice equal to all by insisting upon the same procedure for both measures?
It has been current expression that the flat rate measure was intended
as a means to .forestall or kill the Grange maesure. . And the present condi
tions tend to prove this claim. - No excuse, so far, has been offered for official
blindness or discrimination. Any system or official conduct which will "bar
one measure and leave the other on the ballot needs reform.
A REAL TEST
THE COUNTY FAIR
THE annual Clackamas County Fair, held last week, was one of the best,
tf not the very best, in the matter of exhibits, ever held. The community
and organization exhibits were excellent. "-Livestock, merited larger attention

ENRY FORD handles the booze and boozer problem without "gloves."
in his business both are outlawed. ; Moonshine and efficiency are
strangers. A workman moonshined worketh not for Henry. He hath -so
decreed and not from sentiment either. It's with him a matterSbf dollars
and cents (sense). This is his order issued to his foremen only a few
days ago:
"From now on it will cost a man his job without consideration of any
excuse or appeal to have the' odors of beer, wine or liquor on his breath, or
to have any of these intoxicants on his person or in his home."
Jt's strenuous, but coming from an employer of thousands of men in
one of the nation's largest industrial concerns, paying the highest wages, it is
significant. As a REAL test of sentiment it will back the Literary Digest's
pool of booze sentiment off the boards. And by the way, few will care to
question Ford's sagacity for business and industrial conditions when last year
his industrial generalship netted him 175,000,000.
RESPECT FOR LAW
TO poke fun at law is a vicious practice and altogether too common.
Divorce laws, for example, are paraded about in much the same mannei
as a monkey and clown on a circus calliope, and the result is a civic and
moral disgrace.
- Tie same thing is true of the prohibition law. The boast that the law
may be broken with impunity and that booze may be had for the price by
almost anyone, almost anywhere, is current and is one way, whether made
purposely or thru misinformation, to weaken the law and render more difficult
its enforcement, and while the sincere, however biased in opinion, should be
credited for independent thinking and expression, the flouter of the law should
be made to feel its authority. . If a law is bad, it will soon be repealed through
its enforcement. What is most needed, in social and economic life, is not to
make light of, but to cultivate, the demand for and respect for wholesome
laws, interpreted and enforced for the public good.
TRAINING LITTLE CITIZENS
These Articles published weekly in these columns are
Issued by the National Kindergarten Associ
ation, New York City
Doing It For Others.
By Lydia Lion Roberts. .
From the time the children went to
kindergarten they began to make all
sorts of things and bring them prouuly
home to Mother. And each time I
would say, "Now make another one
just like that here at home and give it
to someone who will enjoy it." Often
the second article was made in a dif
ferent color, or the child was encour
aged to think out' various improvements.-'
If we did not have exactly the
same materials in the house as were
used1 at the school, we would hunt un
til we found something almost as good,
or that carried out the same idea in
a different way. When 1 1 mentioned
this plan to one of the teachers she
approved of it and told me she wished
all the mothers would do the same, for
the child really understood then just
how the work was done, and in the
second trial corrected mistakes of the
first. -
So all through the school days, the
children have made duplicates of pic
tures, frames, blotters, boxes, calen
dars and woodwork. . Some of these
were always given to friends or play
mates, and also used for birthday pres
ents. I remember one cold day when
the oldest boy had to stay in the hoube
because of a cold, yet the time passed
quickly to him for he was ,busily work
ing on five new pinwheels that he had
just learned to make. Every little
while a child's face would be pressed
against the window pane and a voice
would call eagerly, "Is mine done yet?"
The boy was very pleased and proud
to think the children outdoors were
waiting so anxiously for his work.
Thus practice makes perfect and
little fingers and hearts learn to work
for the pleasure of others,- ,

BANNER THOUGHTS IN POETRY
I Want To Be Fair.
By Grace E. Hall
I want to be fair in my judgment of
men,
. Whatever their conduct may be.
For some other parents and home
were to them
What my childhood sphere was to
me;
And all of their ancestors, differently
reared,
Left tendencies none may disclaim,
Then how dare I judge what has now
reappeared? ;
Or venture my unknowing blame?
If I had known life in some other
man's way,
It is plain I would not be as now,
For we grow in the elements, day
'. - after day,. - - "
Essentially ours, somehow;
So I try to remember in judging all
men
The manifold forces of time,
And, the, ancestral traits now united
, - in them, -So
widely removed from my own.
I want to be fair for my own sake as
well,
To see facts of life as they are,
For if I can reason and basic truth
tell
I shall save myself many a scar; -
For the bigot and critic has never
been known
To meet with such kindness from
men,
As that one who has always some real
. justice shown
In passing his judgment on them.

Ever since T. A. Willard patented
the Threaded Rubber Insulator, Octo
ber 16, 1917, this form of insulation
has been used by an increasing num
ber of automobile builders. It is made
of rubber the beat form of electrical
insulation known pieced by 196,000
tiny threads.- The rubber keeps the
plates insulated from one another,
while the threads allow the battery
solution to flow freely.
The interest rate in Russia is now
12 per cent a month or 72 per cent a
year. The Soviet government pays 36
per cent a year on foreign funds!
These facts have a bearing on the
propaganda of money for Russia.
The full amount of the national
debt is approximately $23,000,000,000.
The annual fixed charges against the
United States Treasury on account of
the public debt are $1,300,000,000 and
not $41,300,000,000 as has been stated.
With the acute housing situation in
England a handful of American wst

sirable quarters, they say. Apply busi

given this advice, these salaried Amer
ican women went out bodily and acted
upon it.
