The reports of fires in the mountain timber are fvwtr than us-ual at this season of the year. A trip through the country at present is rewarded by evidence that this has been a good corn year. There should be many fine exhibits in the cm show this fall. To sell or not to sell is the ques tionjnow agitating the wheat own er, it is one oi the biggest gambles the grower has yet been called on to engage in. Some are selling and some are holding. Time will tell which was the profitable course. Practical education is now the aim of school directors and practical evidence of progress is found in in struction given to pupils in agricul ture and commerce. A course in mechanics" as applied to, automobile driving and repair work is some thing that might well be placed in rural schools. We are becoming a nation of mechanics and a general diffusion of practical knowledge of this sort would fill a present need. Hood River county is preparing to do honor to S. Benson, chairman of the highway commission. Labor Day at Hood River is to be called Benson Day and the whole county will then unite to celebrate the con clusion of the Columbia highway and honor the man who has di rected the work and made it possi ble Mr. Benson's service to the state has been many sided, but if he has done nothing else than found the technical school in Portland which bears his name, and place the highways of the state on a systematic and business like founda tion, he would have deserved the plaudits of all. ' The scarcity of fuel is lending im petus to the move to improve the water power resources of the coun try. Our necessities often are the stepping stones to progress and the diminishing supplies of oil, coal and wood urge us on to take advan tage of the power which latent nature offers us. It is a reason able statement to say that no field of industry offers an equal chance to the young man that electrical power does. The Northwest, has a superabundance of it. At no distant date transportation will be by electricity, manufacturing will be by electricity, Metal will be smelted and blast furnaces operated and ou" homes heated by the myf terious current which we set to work with a push button. Cleanly, convenient and noiseless, electricity will make the coming decade most marvelous. An eastern financial publication figures that if Cox is elected presi dent his net salary will be only $21,000 .instead of the $75,000 presidents have recently received They explain it this way.-, The in corre tax is not effective now as the constitution stipulates that a president's income can not be re duced while he is in office. The income tax law was passed while President Wilson was in office, therefore his income is safe . The law will be effective with the next president, however, and will last his term of office as the constitution provides the ta'ary of a president can not be lucre 'sed whi'e he ia in office. As Mr. Cox' wealth is enti mated i.t $f000,00i, adding his present income to what he wou'd have as president would throw him into the class which ays an 8 r cent tax and a 63 per cent sur-tax making a total tax of 71 percent on his total income. Cfw n The Independence KntTiri.-e t'e voted some double column smic to the Herald last week crit'ci.'.iiig the Herald's stand that t'w legisla ture did i:ot intend l iuhwi ya ti be located by circuit judges my n ore! than it Intended county courts should do si. We decline, however, to be drawn into controversy, hol.ling tl at this would be discourti ous and un fair. The Kirterprise mt.n is t ut newly arrived ill oar midst and, of course, w.is not present at the county con ference held in the court hoiiM1 in Dallas through invitation by the Commercial club of P.illas in April, 1919. We hear much now about friendliness and harmony as prevail ing between Dallas and Indepen dence but it is nothing to the sticky sweetness of the mutual admira tion tociety which the w hole county comprised on that memorable occas ion. It was, to use the worth of the Pallas Itcmuer, "a regular love feast.'" Verily, our brother cf the Enti r-. prise, you should have been there, As the balmy zephyr that amble d)wn from the summer seas into our heated harvest season, were the soft words of concord and reconcil iation there expressed. "Let uf not be small and petty" said one speaker," but tike a broad view of the matter. Of course we all would like to have the highway run past our own front doors, tut we must sacrifice. The system which we pro pose is one that benefits every corner of the county". They were for it and for it hard. This system was based, as any system must be, around a central unit. This was proje:t one, the route as laid out by the h'ghway commission. Others talked, and to heir them would have made you glad you were alive. It was like testimony at a camp meting and to carry out the comparison, at the close of the pro ceedings they took up a collection. If a colored parson could have seen that collection his eyes would have bulged clear out of their sockets, A whole hatful of silver was heaped upon the table. Look back through your files, brother, and see the insert which the advertising committee got out. Two pages of highway boosting with a map thawing project one, the route as laid out by the commission and the other 1 ranch lines planned. Cates of the Observ er printed it and futnfihed it to the Enterprise as to the Herald. Read it through, the statement of the-issues, the vigorous boosts given by different citizens of the county. It-doesn't sound like an outburst of law breakers, nor yet a conspiracy to circumvent the stat utes. Cheer up, brother. Serenity of mind improves the digestion.
