HALL, Editor. Entered nt Tsledo, Oregon postoffice, as second-class matter, under the Act of March 3rd, 1878. Established Twenty-Nine Years Ago. SUBSCRIPTION PRICES One year, in advance, $2.00 Six Mon the, In advance fl.00 Foreign AdvertiinR Rpresmtnttv THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION A STORY FOUR THOUSAND YEARS OLD From the daiya of the Pryaraids to tho present la a long period of time, yet, in those days an at present, palntB wore used for beautifying oind preserv ing the objects which they covered. In the old days paint was used ea a decorative material for the mummv cajes. Today it Is used to conaorvs t!io natural and converted resources of the country. Paliiting one's buildings is not an cy.')onsB. It is an investment. It ab ?!.lut(?y insure.? aiMinst depreciation mid rotting. It is the only from of In nuance that tan be guaranteed to pc-form its duty Iftipnr cent. Paints have beSi high during the lLFt few years but are now down to normal basis. It would seem to be economy to paint now. The Dutch have an old proverb which says "Good paint costs nothing, for It saves (more than it costs." There nre many brands o: paint on the market and to the consumer all paints look rJIke. It is only when the paint has been applied to the building for four or five years that tho quality 1s demonstrated. It is too late to regret ones action of a poor choice of paint. It Is well to buy the advertised lines. While we ere not mentioning any brand In particular, a perusal of our advertisements will indicate the leaning of the editorial chair. Second: You have preached that damnable crime producing lie, namely, "there 1b no sin," until Its effect is now felt In the wave of theft, arson, and murder. iThird: You have yielded to the in famous, demon-pcosessed-fomlnlne maudlin sentiment which looks upon the criminal as a hero and the jails as rest resorts until you have destroy ed the Idea of punishment. Conse quently, crime increases. Fuorth: .Your lax, criminally bx, enforcement of law has Increased crime. Your juries are cowards and your judges are without judicial con scdence or a penal backbone. Their sentences are a curse to law and an encouragement to the criminal. The time has come to demand that all people, and especially the courts and their officers, shall respect law and enforce its stem demands upon criminals regardless of political fear or favor. NOT MUCH SCARED Democrats say that if the Republi cans pass the tariff bill the Republican party will be overthrown at the next election. Let's tako a shot at it any how. Algona Upper Des Moines. THE CRIME WAVE Rev. M. A. Matthews, D. D., LLD. Crime is on the increase regardless of the statements of heretical pulpit parodies who ray the world Is getting better. There are unmistakable rea sons for the increase. ' Frst: Your children are not taught the Bible. Loss than twenty-live per cont of the children of the country can recite the Ton Commandments correctly. Ignorance of the Bible In- ABUSE OF SYSTEM AROUSES VOTER All over the West sentiment swims I to be crystallizing asainct the direct Inrlmnpv tha In IMsiHva flnd rnf pr.-.iiitti m and the recall. This sentiment can not be charged entirely to a failure of the principla involved in these various measures. It is due to failure to administer these measures as originally Intended. They have become the vehicles of self seeking politicians and the plaything for the theorist and the agitator, who, under Uieir operation, can experiment wttli anything from single tax to state socialism -at the expense of the voter. Under the direct primary system, there seems to be no way to check the flood of measures or candidates which the people must pass upon. As a result, the cost of government has Increased out of all proportion to the benefits received by the governed and In self defense the Idea seems to be growing that the only way to cor rect the evil is to amend or do away with the vehicle which makes possible the abuse. nothing to say about taxes end expen ditures. They have been told what to do and how to vote and they have done as directed. How many private businesses could leave the decision aa to overhead cost in tSd hands of the employes without any restraining influence by the em ployer? iHow many private businesses could pay the overhead that would be thus developed? Probably none. Yet this Is the position in which every state finds itself today. The tax beneficiaries have built up the overhead which the taxpayers must meet. .Relief will come eventually only when a disinterested body of taxpay ers meet to decide on tax expendi tures. In other words, the man who pays the bill must have something to sty about hew large that bill Is to be, how it Is to be spent and how many people he can afford to hire. I LET THE PEOPLE THINK J Every state in the West faces the necessity ior tax reauciiuu. Probably no private business could exiB if operated on the basis of etate mum .'gEinicnt In the paBt. In other worOs. erpen-'es of state government havn been e3'!P'it?d and established by the state employes. i Thi r'oMe who represent the em ployer (tho state) have had little r THE SHAME OF FORE8T FIRES More forest fires occured In 1921 than during any previous year of re cord, but, owing to Improved methods of detection and extinguishment, the area burned over was below the aver age in extent. Notwithstanding ab normal drought, public carlessness was chiefly to blanie. Clearly the American public still lacks appreciation of its great natural heritage. As a people priding our selves upon our practical outlook, the market value of our timberlr.nds in yielding lumber for building and other purposes must be apparent. There is, however, another side to be considered. What would America be like shorn of the great beauty of wide stretches of woodland, How barren shriveled, utterly desolate and, finally, uninhabitable It would become! Yet to our shame we continue neg ligently to burn faster than we can reforest. Since am ordinary sapling requires from forty to eighty years years to attain mature growth, it does not reauire genius to determine where sucli persistant thoughtlessness will bring us. Totally to eliminate forest fires Is scarcely possible; lightning will al ways cause a limited number. But the blaze that results from human Wgency can be prevented. Some improvement in the situation is reported by individual states. Most of this improvement, however, is trace able to the rigid enforcement of po lice powers and to more effective fire- lighting methods, rather than to public cooperation. Horn much moro enccui aging it will be when improvement from year to ye:r can be directly as cribed to an awakening public con science deteiimined to end this crim inal waste. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1922 A few weeks ago twelve o'clock was twelve o'clock. Now twelve o'clock is eleven o'clock. Everybody says so, and that makes is so. A dollar bill Is a dollar bi'l because everybody says so, and It's changed into ninety cents as soon as everybody says so. It can be changed into two dollars if every body says bo. "Everybody's" the don tor that can cure all the ills of the world If everybody'll tackle the Job. Everybody can be happy if everybody says so an' prosperity? "Why, is up to everybody just like everything. Ain't it funny how so many people want to Join the nobody ranks Instead of the everybody ranks? THERE ARE BONU8ES AND BONUSES Certain Eastern newspapers), which are rending the heavens with their outcry against a soldiers' bonus, are in favor of cancelling Europe's eleven billion dollar debt to the United States and of continuing the five million dol lar a year bonus conferre.. by the ex isting tariff law on importers and alien producers.

It is al most pitlablo to hf.r iv.cn and wem-jn iliucusa business conditions as thcugli the budlncos oi' the nation was sonia Ihlng apai'i, soma 3tran.?o, mystericu.i machine operating without any relation to the individual. Perhaps the people are so close to the picture they lail to see that the rotniier is the lord una master of the great distributo;- an.: that the people are the lords and mas ters of evory i-et&'.ier on earth. It business lis stagnant, the people make It so. They can bring about business revival whenover they decide to do sj. Humanity's weakness lies in the desire. to "let George do it. The people have come to accept tho belief that their particular attitude or their per sonal action, can have no bearing on anything, that it will be lost in the general result.' Consequently everyone "lays down. It is this knowledge of public apathy that gives strength to the political leeches that suck the life- blood of the nation, and, once fasten ed onto the body politic, are bo hard to get rid of. Trade revives when the people buy. Then the retailer gets busy, the jobber gets busy, the manu facturer gets busy, anc men and wo men boipmo employed. Prosperity will come back when every man and every woman acts as though the whole problem rests upon his or her should-- ors. There is no meeting place u which to arouse common action on behalf of the people unless leadership be grasped by the home-town news paper. The economist who can devise a workable people's union will have performed a useful service. GEO.
