ION Thursday. .July 22. 1920 Under the direction of the Oregon State Chamber of Com merce representatives, an inten sive canvass will be conducted in Estaeada beginning in week of July 19th, in connection with the expansion movement of the State Chamber, to raise a budget of $450,000, covering a three year period to carry on its develop ment work. O f this amount $180,000 is to be raised in Port land and the remainder through out the state. The appeal o f the State Cham ber for funds to carry on its work is based strictly on its ac complishments s i n c e i t was organized less than two years ago. It believes that the mer chant and manufacturer, the retail dealer and the farmer will resjiond unanimously to provide an adequate income whereby this development work can be carried on with the maximum o f success. More than two hundred lead ing men throughout the state have endorsed the expansion movement of the State Chamber. They declare it to be the logical medium to take the initiative in working for the state as a whole. Its program o f activities includes agricultural development, land settlement, the building of good roads, railroad extension, irriga tion. industrial expansion, andan advertising campaign for Ore gon.

It is hoped that Esta cada and all Clackamas County will do everything possible to make this state wide movement a success.

We suggest that “ Democrats and Demijohns” would make a more persuasive appeal.

Last week we re ceived a kindly appreciation from an out-of-town subscriber who wrote she would not be without the paper, and a day or two later after the last issue was out, a disgusted reader, we do not think he was a subscriber, unless one long delinquent, threw the paper down with disgust and consigned it to the infernal regions. Well, we suppose, sooner or later, most o f its copies meet the fate o f in cineration. We often wonder if we were a subscriber instead o f editor, what would be our opin ion o f it? A noted leade»* in form er years in the House o f Commons frequently yawned in the midst o f his speeches, and apologized by saying he found them so deadly dull. We ac knowledge that sometimes we have had that suspicion about the N e w s , but when that has been the case someone freqnently ex pressed appreciation of that par ticular number as bein^ most interesting. So as our French friends would say, ‘ ‘Every one to his taste.” At Walla Walla, Wash., a rep resentative o f the Non-l’artisans was scheduled to speak, when he was notified by a delegation to leave town and not to stand on the order o f his going. While we are much opposed to the Non- Fartisans and their amateur poli tics, we emphatically dissent from the above method o f treat ing them, as it will prove a mis take and only arouse sympathy for them. It must lie remem- l>ered that this party was born of legitimate grievances, that if the farmers o f North Dakota had had a square deal and a genuine at tempt to redress their grievances, Townley et al would have made no headway. The proper method is to meet their arguments and their proposed measures by bet ter ones. In our opinion, time will prove whether their policies are sane or not. They are now U*ing worked out in North Da kota which will serve as an object l e s s o n and t e s t as to their practical operation. Thursday, July 22, 192 0 Cigars and Cigarettes Cigi R. G.
