Tho State-aid conference Hcems to
Jinvo bMtt unsatisfactory from all
MandpolntH. unless It perhups ileas
ed those who hope to hue the pres
ent order of things continued Indell
nltoly. Kor the truth Is that nothing
forwnnl-looklng wn accomiillslied.
Thoro was so much squabbling and
so much sectional J-nloim. that It Is
fair to say the delegatfH wont homo
pretty well soured on every proposal
oxcept the solitary uno in which they
woro illrcrtlv Interested. There
wasn't enough glvi-and-tako co-operation,
lefs-Hll-pull-together-bo.VH sturf
to be wot th menttoutiiK.
Tho rural credit exponelits went af
ter what they wanted and then seem
ed preprred to throw everyono olso
overboard. Tho Irrlgatlnnlsts mid
drainage people, wh.i nlso favor rural
credits heartllv (and state aid for Ir
rigation and drainage Is really rural
credits i left the conference miffed at
tho treatment accorded thuni by the
majority That majority, say tlioy,
was rural but not creditable.
Wo all hoped to see a tangible re
sult from tho conference. Wo expect
ed united backing for a renttoiinblo
and safo scheme whereby tho stnto
would bond itseir moderately for tho
yiurpose of making agricultural loans
nt low Interest. Wo hoped It would
bo arranged to utlllo tho stato'H
credit to guarantee, and so ninko sale
able, Irrigation mid dralungo district
bonds, thoBo dlstrlcta to bo only of
absolutely llrst class character nnd
tbeliowii lands to b3 the llrst basis
of credit and simply relnforcod by tho
(date's backing.
Wo believed that sound conservn
tlvo plans along these Hues, thresh
ed out and endorsed by the confer
ence, would meet with very general
popular appioval. Had tho confer
ence accomplished tho purpose for
which It was called, tho lultlntlvo
measures would havo gone upon tho
ballot with excellent promise of re
ceiving n favorablo popular verdict.
Hut tho conference did not accom
plish Its purpose. It did nothing hut
muddy the water. It him material
ly wonkuned tho prospects of each
progressive measure. It iiiuv be that
despite the unpropltlous start the)
will waathor the scrutinv of (he elec
toral) and receive popular approval
In Xovomber. Wo eiirncstlv hope so
Thu opposition which developed ut
Hftlom Is as sin prising In Its person
nel ns It Is shortsighted In Its mo
tives. Tim only logical thing for the
conference (o Imve done was to give
tho proposed irixtsureH a fair stmt,
nnd later let tho people kill them off
if they saw lit. Hut the very birth of
tho measures was an abortion, and
tho product of the legislative labor
threatens, alas, to be deformed and
incompetent.
"Those reforms, these forward,
steps, are not needed now : let us
wait until they are demanded." Such I
in effect, declared the opponents of I
htate aid. And In tho face of such
h tomlMttouo policy some have wou-
dennl what would have become of i
Central Oregon, for Instance, If tho!
railroads hud waited until the coun

that reasonable preparedness Is what

tho Mcdford Mail-Trlhuna suggests

It would havo n navy only for defense
consisting of many submarines, ado

our army, If wo follow tho course of
