There is sense jn Mr. Bailey's jnororpHnn that he is la favor cf " " o o " an eight hour day piovidirg it j; eight hours of real work. Tcol much of this eight and six hour movement is designed to avoid doing any work at all. By the way the burglars are takin to the country, the im pression must be abroad in burg'ar- dom that the rounty districts have of a sudden acquired something worth stealinjr. Nineteen feet deep without strik ing water, that is the record made on Stump's farm the other day when sinking a well. Yet in the east the impression is general that Oregonians have web feet, that v.e ars happy to get an hour of sun- hin. in our winter rainfall. To tell them that our winter has been so dry that wells are as low as in the summer would be to invite vari ous expressions of disbelief. Methinksthe county court will get the idea in good time that the people of the county are in earnest on the roads and highway matter, s;tt..a mIiuII have the farms ap praised and shall tuke them over, paying the owners 4 per cent gov- eminent bonds. "A commission shall be formed to run the farms thus taken over to be composed of fifteen members, five of whom shall he farmers, five shall be farm employes, and five shall be appointed by the President nftlm United States. The five farmer commissioners shall be e'ect u hv the farmers. The five em- oloves commissioners shall be elect lbv the farm employes. They shall hold office for two years, and their salary shall be fixe! ty the commission. "The commission shall at once proceed to employ the proper per sons to operate the farms, as far as nossible, employing the f resent oDeratort and their wives and chil dren when working to continue on farms now occupied. The commission shall fix the rate of pay f or farmers and farm em ployes, but the first year the fol lowing rate shall govern: Farmers operating 100 acres and under shall lupoid ninety cents per hour, For far ns 100 ti 205 ars. $1.25 per hour. "For farms 200 acres and , $2.00 per hour. "Farm employes 70 cent per hour. "All farmers, farmers' wives, children and employes to work on a basic eight hour ('ay, with time and a ha f for PW time, Sundays and nolid.ys. "There shall be half biiidaye wi Sundays. "The commission shall fix the price at which produce is to be sold, and prices are not to te re duced until the business permits the divStluiir of a five per cent dm dend to th fwrntfj. Any profit above 5 percent stall goto the United SUtci." Such farmers' Plumb Plan would put the farmers in as favor ed a class at thl railroad Plumb bill would put the railway employes. It would relieve the farmer of lia bility of crop failure and put the result of all such failures on the public. Its enactment would not preclude any pther class from seek ing like favors, Dark DaysDcmana See the nev White Mazda A soft linlit without are. Docs twt strain eyes.

Representative Carl W. , Riddick, of Montana, friend of the farming interests in Contrres and himself a farmer, has had read intjo the Cofr gressional Record a factious bur lesque on the Plumb r airload plan which was prepared by the Ameri can Defense Society,.
