JARDINE. the new secretary of agri VV culture, sees eye to eye with President Coolklge on ' n it a , i i i n . liT. .1 l questions or larra rener, tno ciispatcues irom wasiungion tell us. Coolidgc and Jardino do not believe that the farmers can bo legislated rich any more than any other class of citizens can, and they do believe that the best way to help the farmers is to promote co-operaton among them. Unlike his predecessor in office, Secretary Jardine is opposed to such measures as the McNary-Haugen bill, calculated to pay the fanners a bonus on their products. So is the president opposed to it. Both of them, the dispatches tell us, ieel that it would bo no moro sound to pay the farmers a bonus titan to pay it to men engaged in any other line of business or industry. Wo read further: Secretary Jardine starts out with tho premise that he has no magic wand to wave over American agriculture to cure it of its ills; that he has no panacea for agricultural relief and that he does not bellcvo anybody has. The Bnme dispatch tells us further that Secretary Jardino will givo his best efforts toward pushing the practical ideas in which he does believe, in efforts to help the farmers, and particularly that ho will seek to further co-operation among them. Secretary Wallnco was lukewarm on farmer co operation and favored bonus measures. Secretary Jar dino is strongly for co-operative measures and opposes any bonus. Therein, it appears, will be found the principal difference between our department of agricul ture ns it was and as it is. Increase of Road Funds RECEIPTS from automobile licenses and gasoline tax in Oregon are increasing rapidly from year to year so much so that this year the slate highway com mission finds itself in possession, present and prospec tive, of a largo sum to spend in excess of what had been figured on the bnsis of last year's receipts. That was why it was enabled to announce so extensive a programmo of road work for tho year nt its meeting of last week. That programme goes farther than most peoplo had thought it could. Completion of-The Dalles California highway is now in sight, and the Roosevelt coast highway is duo for such substantial progress this year as to bring it well into the class of actual rather than planned roads. , Increnso in tho receipts for licenses and gasoline tax will, in tho nature of things, go on from year to year, because both tho number of automobiles in tho stato and automobile travel nro certain to go on increasing. If state highway finances bo admin istered wisely and if thero is no tinkering with present revenues, our indebtedness on highway account will tako care of itsolf through application of these moneys to retirement of the bonds,1 while at the same time there will bo funds for reasonable expansion of tho develop ment programme. But tho part of sound finance and good business dictates that tho bonds bo retired as they become due. It would bo a pity to embark upon a general programmo of refunding them for tho sake of undue enlargement of the highway development pro grammo. There has been mndc apparent in some quar ters a disposition towards such an end. Oregon ought to reduce its indebtedness. All who had anything to do with Oregon politics in tho early eighties will remember William J. MoConnell, who was president of tho state senate in 1882 and a leader in political activities generally. lie lived at North Yamhill and was known to every man, woman and child in Yamhill county, lie removed to Idaho shortly before the admission of Hint territory to the union, and was its first United States senator and afterwards its governor. Now he is dead at his liomo in Moscow, aged 85. Politics was the chief activity of his lifetime and ho died in hnrness,.ns United States immigration inspector n place obtained" for him through the influence of his distin guished son-in-law, Senator Willinm E. Borah. A glimpse of tho helpfulness to farmers of the work of a county agent is given in tho announcement by 0. S. Fletcher, county agent for Lane countv, of the distribution of "pedigreed" alfalfa seed just completed by him. Not only is seed of n superior grade furnished to thoso who are participating in tho experiment, but lime for fertilizing tho land on which the seed is to be sown nlso, and the agent gives tho farmers instruction regarding preparation of the hind and seeding and cultivation. Such work, as litis puts farmers in the way of increased success in their operations. It is helpfulness towards self help. When the recent ndvnnco in the price of wheat began it was remarked that the farmers would benefit com paratively little, becauso little wheat remained in their hands. Now that wheat has declined heavily the situa tion has its compensations. The farmers will lose little becauso they .have little wheat.

Spring Comes to Rome." (New York World.) Mussolini well again, Mussolini after months of illness strong enough to face a mob of thousands from the balcony of the 1'aJazzo C'bigi, Mus solini wearing the black shirt, Mus so.iui paler and a little thinner, but Mussolini with two fists which pouud und a voice that itirs the crowd to frenzy. "X cannot resist tlie desire of Ict tiug you hear my voice on this oc casion I do not know whether it will please you" Shouts of "Viva Mussolini! Viva U Duce!" '.My appearance on this balcony de stroys the paper castle of falsehood and rumor; my appearance here marks for me uud for you an integral and total resumption of Fascist action against everybody." Spoken like a man ''action against everybody" no reservation here Action against socialists, action against pacifists, action against alien's, action against Masons, action against foreigners, action against everybody, and the more the merrier there is al ways somebody left to be the object of a new crusade. "What I want to say to yon" and two fists pound on the railing of the balcony "ra that it is spring now, and now the fun begins." Early summer comes to Rome. An Amended Trout Season (Astoria Budget.) The Btate game law says that ft shall he lawful to fish for trout over six inches in length from April 15 to November 15. It is lawful to fish for trout over 10 inches in, length during the entire year in tidal streams. This provision regarding tidal streams is designed to provide for salmon trout fishing in the fall and through the winter. In effect, it makes It legal to fish for trout in tidal atrcams at any season of the year. After the first of the year few or no salmon trout are found in the tidal streams. Thus from the fipt of the year to April 15 the angler may fish unrestrictedly for trout over 10 inches in length. These are not salmon trout that are caught at this season of the year. They are the same cut-throat and Hninbow trout which are caught later in the sennon. If it is wlso to elope the season for trout from six to 10 inches in length from November 15 to April 15, why Is it not fully ns wise to close it for trout nhove 10 inches in length. The upshot of the entire matter is that there is no closed season on the larger trout in any stream affected in any degree by the tide. The pro tection of the fish, it would tteein, should dictate that there bo a tlosed season on nil trout in tidal streams ns well an others fro9 th .yproiimnie time when the salmon trout stop run ning, until April 15. t Oregon Bncts j His Weapon I UX tra -2 ""ViKHi Mm-, 'is, A.

Kven If ill this Is true w hat of it J The charge is n"l personal inferiority, but organic Incapacity. The trouble Is with congress, not congressmen; with legislatures, nut legislators. If legislative bodies are so consti tuted that better men could not oper ate them, it mokes little difference whether thry are composed of better men, worth their while. There ore good men In all legisla tive bodies now. It would be easy to get more of them, and better, if it were made worth their while. The trouble goes deeper, "ersoosl inferiority, so fsr as It tiisn, l merely an external symptom.

HUNT (XKA Service Writer) yAfUIINGTON, March 31. "A convention a day will keep hard limes away." ' Such might be stated as the slogan of Washington interests, which, fac ing nine months of congressional ab sence, with a consequent slump in bus iness foreseen, are organising to make tho capital city the convention headquarters- of Ihe nation. Three hundred conventions a year is tho aim of Washington's new "con vention bureau." If that can be achieved, then the hotels can be kepl filled, the rubber neck wagons and taxi cab companies supported, and business generally as sisted over the slack period. A campaign will be waged to "sell' Washington to the country as the ideal convention city, where between sessions delegates can visit spots of historic interest, acquire new know ledge, of the government and tfts, wr gnnixntion and brush up on patriotism and politics. One hundred and five conventions were held here last yonr. Since then a big new public auditorium has been completed and new hotels with special convention halls opened. Washington is waiting, watchfully, hopefully. Tho "Welcome" sign hangs out. Congress is gone, but the capital guides are still on the job. ' Being a "favorite son'' in Wash ington has lta advantages. But .the advantage of being a "favorite sjn" of four states nt one and the rfume time is not so certain, in the mind of Secretary . of Agriculture .Tardine. Jardine was born in Idaho, worked as a cow puncher in Montana, got his education in Utah and was appoint ed to the cabinet from Kanoas. Each of the state "societies' of these com monwealths in Washington seek to claim him as its own. So far Jardine has refrained from declaring allegiance to any one, but the pull and. haul has been rather terrific. Itepwsentative Strung of Kansas, 'in seeking to demonstrate the pre dominate claim of the Sunflower state, says that while .Tardine was born in Idaho, worked in Montana and went to school in Utah, as soon ns he had acquired wisdom he settled down in Kansas and Ihnt he thereby qualifies as a Kansun at heart. Vice-President Dawes may expect more or less razning' this summer when he sets out on his announced campaign to "carry to the country" his program for amendment of the senate rules. The opposition will be all primed to keep alive the story of Dawes' inid-afternnon nap, which cost the president the confirmation of War ren as attorney general. ' With Capitol Hill parodied as Bunk-er Hill, Dawes also will be pic tured as the "Minute Man Who Was Five Minutes Iate." This will be considered particu larly appropriate because Dawes has indicated he believes thero is too much "bunk" on Capitol Hill and be cause he was a prime organizer a: .! head in the "Minute Men of tho Con stitution." However, Dawes may consider all this in the light of good advertising, and capitalize every knock as a boost. If nothing more, it will servo to keep himself and his fight in the headlines. , Congress "franks" out a lot of mail.

UK AX VEW YOUK, March 31. Uirls in New York are unlike girts in any other city. They are M once the best dressed and the most unattractive. This is speaking In general terms, of course. They are best dressed because more attentiou is paid to dress here than in any other city. Many of the styles, both for America and Kurope, origi nate here. In most occupations wages and salaries are greater here and the urge and need' of spending is greater. To say that New York girls are less attractive than girls of other cities is a matter of individual opinion, of course, Hut tho (tot ham girl uses more ('osmetics than her sinters in the hinterland. A great many of them use heavy mascarra on their eye grow, and bead their eyelids. They look like nothing to much as chorines awaiting overture. In short, the beauty of the tiotham girl is largely artiifcial. No mailer what her academic edu cation is the New York girl is more generally iguorant than other. Sh iiinr be an expert in some line of work and she may be exceedingly worldly wise and sophisticated, but she may not know that fruit evolves from blossoms on trees, or that but ter I made by churning milk, or that few babies have trerh when they're born. On the other hand she knows pretty well how to parry a smart re mark from a mnrt msn and to go wherever she plcs to go, unaccompanied. them are women and girls. Many of them cat breakfast and lunch in the buiMing and do their shopping during lunch hour without leaving tho build ingr A 'total of ll'i.OOti people pans through the entrance to the building every day. There are other buildings, especially thoso in the new garment center, which house almost as many girls. A greater proportion of girls eat three meals a day in restaurants in New York thau in any other city, it seems to me. They atand two deep at a quick lunch counter at the long Island-railroad terminal for breakfast in the morning. Or you see them nt lunch counters in office buildings. The saidwich and soda stands are crowded wnn them at noon. In the evening fully n third of tho diners in restaurants are unescorted women and girls. This may be construed as an in dex of the artificially of life In New York. Or It may indicate the progress of women's emancipation, her growing independence and her participation in ctpial rights even to the extent of going home when she pleases. 25 Years Ago (From The Guard of March 3t, 1D00.
