Then the laltorer must have higher pay, and again, up goes tho ox ponsca of tho railroad. And so oJ, ad intlnntum. around nnd around tho circle. A nice balance must be es tablished somewhere, and weight olther Is to bt addod on tho rendu' aide of the scales through higher ratoa, or. perhaps, aubatractod from the opposite aide by effecting eco nomics in rallroRil ouerstlou. At all evants, the problem la no simple one, to be settled by arbitrary action, I whatever the Immediate prospect cf benefit such action may ontall. Ing burned by tho powdor.

While Ita record in irrigation matters merits nothing better than tho nbollshmcnt for tho Hoard, and Mr. Lewis la nono oo popular hereabouts, tho wholo scheme, tn tho guise In which It ta presented, deserves defeat. ' In tho first place, thero la ample reason to believe that tho real motive behind the proposal Is official ani mosity such na has riled tho waters of stato political Ufa for the Jast tnrco years and that economy has nothing nt all to do with It. Second- ly, tho scherno la launched with mis statements. Thirdly, It la impracti cable In parte, end tho cures suggest ed seem as bad. if not a bit worse, than tho disease.

It Is a Just plan, add should provo an In centive to some of Oregon's sleepy counties. So far as political party affiliations permit, the people of Central nnd Eastern Oregon owe a debt of sup port to William Hanloy of Hums, now n candidate for the office of United States Senator on tho Pro gressive ticket.

Also, under tho proposed scheme, the engineer's wsrk would bo cared for by biennial appropriations, and nolther God nor man nan estimate In advance what a legislature will do when It comes to spending money. The scheme Is Impractical if for no other reason than that an engloeor who conducts nn undertaking llko tho Tumalo ProJecV. remotely sltuat od, cannot do justice to his work and do Justlco to the work of tho stato engineer's office all nt the same time. , If his project duties are so light as to permit that, then Instead of re oeivlag $'.200 until 191C. he should Set awut half that amount. Rut of owrse such Is not the ease. No, there W work for two men.

It Is Ih tores ting uxpiote, thaalLnf tho prominent tlmberweu who ufva ben here during he week som agreed upon three ioJnts. First, that prosperous times are coming, rfiecond, that no single reason can be advansfid to explain the business de gression of the past months. Third. (Jiat granting the railroads a five per Ajwnt. rate Increase will be of univer sal benefit. There oan be no doubt that the bottom of the hill has been roached, .everything points to improvement n trade conditions throughout the MUntry and no serious obstacles threaten such betterment Plenty of money and excellent crops form a sound foundation for optimism. Not only the tjmbermon, but stu dents of natlenal bueinoss conditions all over the country, are unable to aacount for the business slump. Many reasons are advanced, but each dif fers from the other, and none of t)ini, olther single or In tangible groups, nro convincing. In fact, Otero Is more truth than humor his critics to the contrary notwlthstand-Jng-r-ln Wilson's diagnosis that the real difficulty Is psjchologlcal.
