1 ho forest fire prevention cam

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.

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.
