UNNECESSARY CANDIDATES As usual, there will probably be a great many candi dates for the different county offices this year who have not a ghost o f a chance of making a creditable showing as an “ also ran.” It always seems strange that when a man or woman decides that he or she would like to be come a candidate and office holder that they go out to investigate the sentiment and usually decide to run be cause their acquaintances did not deliberately tell them the exact truth. Such candidates generally list every per son they know as one of their supporters, when it' they would only use a little common sense in making their deductions they would know they would only be wast ing time and energy in running for office. I f every can didate got every vote he tries to make himself believe he will get, it would be necessary to use box cars for ballot boxes. There is probably a good chance this year for Eastern Clackamas county to elect one member ty the state legis lature. If there is one good man, or woman, in Eastern Clackamas who aspires to this office, and would not be handicapped by a number of other candidates, the News believes such a person would stand an excellent chance of being elected. Ed. Shearer of Springwater has been suggested as legislative timber and probably could easily be elected if he desires the office. And likely a favorable candidate could be found in the Sandy or Boring districts that would meet with general approval of the people of Eastern Clackamas county. But let us be saved from a flock of entries which will jeopardize the chances of having a rep resentative in the next legislature. An editorial in an Eastern magazine commenting on congress’s inexplicable lack of action in providing flood- control for the Mississippi, even after strong recammend- ations by President Coolidge and Secretary Hoover, states: “ Congress meantime, as Will Rogers says, has bills for this and bills for that, is running hither and yon to in vestigate here and investigate there, relieve the farmers, force the federal reserve banks to curtail loans to brokt rs, investigate the operation uf prohibition, promote the Boui- der Dam and Muscle Shoals socialistic program and fine! out what ought to be the standard length of women's skirts aiyd a few other equally essential things, but it has no time to devote to this paramount issue, which involves the safety of human life and property in this great central valley of the United States.” While this is not true of many individual legislators who are intelligent and conscientious, it is only too often Hue o f our lawr making bodies in general. One band wagon politician with an ax to grind can discount the ef forts of a dozen real representatives of the people who are unwilling to stoop to shoddy practices obviously for eign to the real purposes of government. As a result, we see time and money spent prodigally on absurd and de structive propositions and petty details, while questions of the first importance are shelved, or inadequately handled. ----------- oOo-------- The time you spend in knocking your competitor is is well spent.

Would like to see more o f your stock introduced into this section o f Utah, as I realize that your stock is especially good." Mr. E. Gutler, Eugene, Ore., writes: “ The pullets we raised from eggs bought from you have given us very line results. W e art well pleased with them. Please send us your latest price list as I want to roder more o f your stock.” Mr. S. T. Powell, o f Pow ell’s Poultry aFrm, Estacada, Ore., obtained his foundation stock o f us, also the cockerels to mate with them this season. He reports that the .'110 hens which he purchased from us as baby chicks made him a profit o f a thousand dollars above feed cost fo r their first yea r’s laying. While this is exceptionally good, it is merely further evidence o f what the Marquam strain o f White Leghorns can do when pro- perly handled.
