THE ONE WAY VOTER As election day draws near many questions of national and state im- port are before the people for their consideration. And when the time that she has a law of compensation comes for all to cast their votes none which equalizes everything pretty but those who have studied those ! well in the long run. Out of the questions are able to vote intelli- j West Indies came a hurricane to gently. They are wise to matters sweep the South Atlantic coast, de concerning both state and nation, stroying thousands of dollars worth and by their votes show their con- of property. Fortunately the loss elusions. I of life was not large. The wind But a vast majority of franchise ' wrought havoc, but the clouds ac- holders are one-way voters. They : go to the polls and cast their ballots by rote, knowing nor understanding nothng of the importance of meas ures up for their consideration, merely following the advice of some party leader or some one who has made but a cursory study of the matters of interest to all. Such people are narrow in their party af filiations; are not wise to subjects that tend to the betterment of con ditions, generally, and are neither gaad party .members or good. voters. The one-way voter is like a bould er in a one-way road neither use ful as filler or surface. The only way he may be brought to a realiza tion of his status is to refuse him the ballot until he shows sufficientf qualification to analyze the many questions up for his determination. We care not whether our neighbor agrees with our political belief or not. If he studies all questions as regiliously as he should his decision suits us. His views will then be the result of that study and he will be as fully qualified to vote on such matters as those who have made the same investigation of the matters before the people. Secretary of State Kozer has sent out pamplets telling of the many measures before the people at this time. If you do not want to be voter read the classed as a one-way pamplet, digest each measure and then decide what, in your estimation, is the best, and vote accordingly, but do it intelligently. ANOTHER BIG GRAB ,$447,000,000 from Uncle Sam. The present state admisistration She has been told that she can pay seems to have a hand out to grab it over a period of 62 years, and she every cent possible and to make, a has started to raise the money, with general fund as large as possible, out a whimper, by leasing her rail One of the ways proposed to augu- roads to private corporations, ment that fund is by means of what Little Belgium is setting the world a is called a "tithing." To make the ! good example. But France is a increase it is proposed that 10 cent of the amount taken in hunting and fishing licences turned into the general fund of state. Of all the rank pieces of- legisla tion ever before the people of Ore gon that proposed measure is the rankest. The game and fish commissions are hard put to carry 1 v out tne programs tor game and fish conservation, to keen up the fish- hatcheries, pay salaries and keep up I the thousand and one things that go to make Oregon a sportsmen's para dise. The lttle old ten per cent may seem a small amount to the or dnary reader, but in the aggregate the sum realized from this small ' "tithing" is large. If the state officials would but stop and think for just one minute they would realize that the proposed measure is a hit at one of the state's most valuable assets. The game and fish attributes of Oregon are two things which annually bring thousands of people to the state, and each one of these contributes to the funds of the two commissions. . At that, with the number of licenses taken out by residents of the state, j I there is hardly sufficient money 'realized with which to carry out the 'programs of the two divisions. Take 10 cv away from these reve ! nues and the game and fish com missions would be that much loser ;and their activities greatly cur- tailed. I Ths voters are wise to the machin- ations of that bunch of cheap poh- . . -a- tnr ticians, and the time comes lor tm t0 g0 t0 the polls and wiu voice their displeasure at the cheap means proposed to be taken to in crease the general fund of te state at the expense of the ame and fish revenues.

The winds brought damage, but the moisture with them more than offset that damage, from a finan cial standpoint Some crop forcaBt ers estimate the rains to have been worth at least $50,000,000 in in creasing the size of the corn crop. In addition," pastures were refreshed and late gardens revived, adding sev eral millions more to the total.

LOOK aWeLGIUM France is making a holy show of herself by mistreating American tourists because she is angered to think America will not 'cancel mil- lions of dollars in war debts.

The Third and Fourth grades have received a collection of books from the county library at The Dalles. Francis Lindlcy, of the Fourth ?rade has returned to school after an absence of a few days. The Fourth grade pupis, have been taking the Curtis Standard Arith metic tests. The Seventh and Eighth grade pupils may well be proud of them selves. They have sent three mem bers to the State fair with their ex penses paid. These trips are in ad dition to and because of prizes won on exhibits at the Southern Wasco County fair at Tygh Valley. This room took the largest amount of prize money as well as these trips. Those who went to Salem are Ada Knighton, who won four firsts, a second, and one third prize; Harry Rutherford, who won first prize on his exhibits of pototoes and a prize on cooking; Elizabeth Rutherford, who won first in sewing and cook ing. Besides the above Ethel Kidder won fourth on sewing; Alta Chastain fourth on lambs; Mary Greene, fifth on chickens and third on sew ing; Laurance Knighton, first on lambs; Jessie Addington, first on gardens. This is a long list, and all say they are out to repeat it next year. The best of luck is wished them. The work in self government in the grammer room Is now progres sing well, and from all indications of work on the board, tape etc, it must be quite successful.

Misses Ada Knighton and Eliza beth Rutherford, Harry Rutherford and Howard Crawford left Tuesday morning for the State Fair. The pu pils won a free trip to the fair by their performance upon projects. It is a mutter of local pride to report that fifty-nine per cent of those prizes awarded in Wasco county jwere won by pupils of the Seventh an'i Eighth grades of district 84. It will be, noted, too, that the project ;work is undertaken by an incensing number of pupils each year. Mrs. D. L. Rutherford accompanied the Wasco county delegation as clmper- one. At a meeting held by the High school Student Body Friday after noon it was voted that the president appoint suitable committees to plan for entertainment and refreshments at the Frosh mix to be held in the High school auditorium next Friday evening. The chairman of the com mittees are as follows; Entertain ment, Fred Shearer; refreshments, Alda Pugh; invitations, Doris Bon ney. The purpose of this mix is to make the Freshman feel that they belong to the school. The upper classmen are capable of thinking up stunts and jokes that will, to say the least, be highly amusing and will make the ' Freshman feel that they have been thoroughly initiated. $25.00 REWARD A reward of $25.00 will be paid by the undersigned for any further information Buflicent to lead to the arrest of the party guilty of break ing into Dr. Dake's homestead cabin on or about Stptembcr first.
