THE Astoria Budget thinks that those who are signing referendum petitions for the cigarette tax bill and the tithing bill may thus bring upon themselves a bur den of longer duration than that which would be faced by nllowing the measures to unconio law. ii is jiui, im possible, the Budget believes, that tho people may vole to uphold both measures miner iwe racienuuui. j Budget argues that if this should happen, the legislature will hesitate to repeal tho bills two years hence, whereas if the bills aro allowed to tale their course now, they will in all likelihood he repealed by tho legislature at tho first opportunity. , It is unlikely that tho cigarette tax and the tithing bill-will be unheld if referred. The cigarette bill im poses a nuisanco tax. The tithing bill takes money collected for tho specific .purpose ot game protection and for other specific purposes, and converts it to the Kcnoral fund. Much leaturcs as tnesc nro onjccuonuuie and unpopular. It would bo well worth whilo lor peo plo to decline to sign referendum petitions on the two measures, hut only on tno grouna ot ingu pumiu -uuiy, in order to avert a crisis in state nuances mat is ouicr wise almost certain to develop if the reterenrlum is in vokod and tho measures nro defeated.

Stewart goes on to tell us, is tho tlung that is making the United htal.es such a tommy tough place to live in. Ho doesn't set out a bill of par ticulars, but ho gives a clue to what bo is thinking about when bo says, after telling bow tho neighbors boycott his little girl becauso bo 'doesn't allow her to attend Sunday school, "if tho neighbors had their way they would have a law passed putting mo in jail. They may do it yet." Not so, Charles. The trend in this country is away from tho inculcation of religion by compulsion, not to wards it. And whatever tho particular group of neigh bors that you have in mind might wish to do in the matter, tho time will not como when any law will be passed under which you could bo put in jail for such a cause. There will always bo bigots among us not more in religion than in other matters but they will never rule tho country. And it is cjuito true that he who fancies himself so broad in Ins religious views that ho can seo no good in any established religion, is no less a bigot than tho sectarian bigot. Of courso the answer that first flies to one's mind upon reading tho declaration of a writer w.bo savs be is sorry bo has to live in this country, is that the country may well bo sorry too. But wo wouldn't say that to Charles, who is known to us as a sane writer generally, Author let us say that Charles only thinks bo, is sorry ho has to livo here. Thero wns Knuna Goldman. Notwithstanding that tho confession in prison at Salem by 0, 11. Moor, to a murder committed in Cali fornia, and tho apparent seriousness with which that confession is being taken there, it is safe to bet a cookie that Sheriff Taylor and Deputy Svarerud have the right "hunch" when they express the opinion that Moor is spoofing again. Moor has the confession habit, and his confessions never stand up. A scanning of the report of a month's activities I.7 County Agent Fletcher as published 'in Tho Guard yesterday, shows that there i demand for the work ho is doing and that tho farmers appreciate it.

Dr. Hodge and Th Staters. (Uend Bulletin) The people of Oregon and par ticularly those of Kugeno mid Bend owe a considerable debt to Jr. Kdwn T. J lodge, of the department of econo mic geology of the university, for the work Ite is doing In developing t lie geological knowledge of the Three Sin ter section. Ilia work opens our eyee.-j to the wonder of the area nnd by in creasing our knowledge of our sit : roumlings adds to the intereat of liv ing here. At the same time the de scription of the peak, the lava field-, the glaciers, the mountain parks, the flora ond fauna, the scenery and the recreation opportunities must res'.nr in drawing many visitors to this sec tion. All, wo aro sure, who hud tin pleasure of hearing Dr. Hodge's leo hire lirst night and of seeing the bountiful lantern elides en me awn with a renewed appreciation of the Sisters and strong desire to get out into the mountains again. Advertising of the Sisters area hi'.f until now been spasmodic and of 1 casual character. Anything of great1! account was probably net justified in view of the condition of tho road which one must travel to rorirh tint section. The Ontury drive brought fl part of the locality within easier reach tho completion of the McKonzie highway opens more of it. Now the tourist can be told of what he will find in the mountain country nnd, what ! f e(iml Importance, that he can gel into It on a good rond. One btg advertising advantage would be gained If the Misters section were designated as a notional monu ment, as suggested by Ir. Ilntfgp. Huch action would make no change in the administration of the area, ax we its accessibility to the public. It would provide publicity and drnw attention, understand it, nor affect in any w.iv it would undoubtedly add many aporea to the n-i.nber who would visit the flection, nnd incidentally Uend and Kugene.

Hop- COWS ARE EATING GARLIC AGAIN Agricultural Department Wrestle's With Problem of Getting Smqll Out of Dairy Products By CHARLES P. STEWART (NBA Service Writer) WASHINGTON, May 0. 'Tis spring and tho cows are begin ning to eat garlic. The agricultural department is experimenting with waya to take tho taste and smell of it nut of milk. "(iarlie," comments tho public health service, "is a wholesome vege table." VHt" admits tho agricul tural deportment, "but so mnny peo ple object to dairy products flavored with it." Meanwhile Washington milk retfiil- era employ official smellers to sniff at each bottle of milk before putting it on the market. Jf garlicky, bock It goes to the farmer. Otherwise it would bo left on the dealers' bonds, for consumers wou't have it at any. price. "Thank !od,' they're whispering among themselves nt the state depart ment, '"it was an English shipmaster, not an American, whose vessel 'stood by' whilo all 3H of the crow of the Japanese cargo-boat Reifuku drowned in tho North Atlantic." Officials are chary of saying anything niond that might be construed as unfavorably critical of Captain John Itoberts of the Homeric. Hut there's no mistak ing tho way they feel. "They're only - Jans let 'em drown!" That's how Japan would havo read the mind of an American commander1 who had had such a story as Captain Roberts' to tell. At all events, the state department, thinks so. Things of that kind count in international relationships. It would Jnok so much better if Captain Roberta bad but n single res ale to his credit, in evidence of a resolute effort. Or if he could report having cruised for nn hour over the lost ship's grave, looking for Bur vtvors, though at tho risk of scratch ing his paiut or even smashing a pro pellor blado'on the wreckage. I've seen a captain delay a 500-ton vessel four and one-half times seven minutes trying to save a dog lost overboard. The Pon American Union is getting stacks of queries from people who, if South America is going rU develop during the next fi years as the United States baa developed during the last 00, which is what General Pershing predicts, wants to get In on it. General Pershing, like most tourists who spend a couple of weeks finding out nil about the southern republics, missed a few items of information. South of the Tropic of Capricorn there really ia a vast area of fiue uu occupied farm land, but the laws dis courage its settlement. Farther north the lows are more liberal but much of the country is etpiatorial jungle, so thick that it has to bo tun neled, rather thou cut, through. And ns fast as cleared, it grows up again. South America will develop, but noth ing like as fast as this country. RowclTs Comment Tty CHESTER H.

If it Is so, the Communists are responsibly. Commu nism is dictatorship by the proletar iat. Fascism Is counter-dictatorship bycnn remember. the bourgcoise, bestowing sometimes years, broke up into tho scattered vassalages of feudal Europe, When the modern nations began to emerge from fiefs and earldoms, they centered nt first in their kings, nnd loyalty wos still personal. We mod erns laud Joau or Arc as the one great exception, because she pro-figured in an age not yet ripe for it, our modern virtue. True patriotism, which is Imperson il loyalty to tho nation, dates back scarcely further than the grand fathers of men whom men now living And if post-war exaggerated na- on the proletariat as a sop much 0f JonUm continues to make it the oiiQUUiiou ui luivirmurc nu uie netti what it had demanded ai a right. Neither is free government, nor per manently endurable, but Fascism is the less evil, because it Is more com fortable while it lasts, ond is easier to get rid of. Compare Russia and Italy! Tho supreme Fascist virtue is pa- trioticm. And It is already detatshlo whether In tts Fascist extreme, that ia a virtue. Patriotism is. after alt. a relatively new thing in the world, and it may not be the last word now. any more than its predecessors were, t.oynlty is permanent virtue, but its forms and objects chance.

Surely the Hul guriun aud Slovakian p.itrioisms. which once set Europe aflame and now threaten it again, aro not useful even to their own peoples, and are dangerous to the world. Patriotism became the supreme virtue because it was the broadest loyalty outgrowing narrower ones. When it becomes a narrower loyalty obstructing (be broader, its rank changes.
