o f the prevalence o f a blight on some

late summer seems to have encour

packed together will serve to spread

Arthur sniffs the battle from afar and

strong recommendation which is that
he has a mind o f his own and is not
afraid to act and speak as his con
science dictates. While a congress
man he was ngh t on some notable
occasions when being n gh t took real
courage.
The Secretary o f the Corvallis
Chamber o f Commerce has been do.r.g
a little investigation and has found
that 21 families located in Corvallis

auto camp and these particular fam il

last year.
Forty one states and sev

The time devoted to

quite conspicuous.
The Federal Constitution provides for
representative government. We have
grown suspicious o f our representa
tives, and substitute for it popular
government.
It was originally pro
vided that presidents should be chosen
by representative electors and sena
tors by representative legislators. The
spirit and the law in these matters
have been charged and we perform by
direct action o f the people.
W e are
progressing so fast that popular ex
pression is depended on for legislation
rather than through representative
legislators.
The checks that our
fathers devised and put in the consti

heedless action o f popular mpulse.

for them. We still have great forests
and unbounded beds o f clay. There
is plenty o f building stone in the »oil.
Natural resources destroyed were but
a small item compared with the world
supply o f raw material. Food was
wasted and destroyed but the earth
yields many fold o f the seed planted
and food supplies are soon restored.
But it is not so easy to restore labor
ers and the product o f labor. These
commodities in large quantities were
destroyed during the war. It «rill take
time to replace them. I f some blight
was destroying labor in Europe it
would cause more concern than a
blight on European currency.
The
trouble with the world is that the de-
ir^nd for labor is more keen than the
demand for food. Until the balance is
adjusted there will be more or less dis
tress for the producers o f food..
