Ring Lardner In his newly published "Symptoms of Being 35" emphasizes Home as the big thing in life. Home, he says, is tho placo where you can tako oft your shoes. It's whero you can have more soup. It's where yon don't havo to listen. It's whero you can pan everybody without it going any further. Ring Is right. Great placo home, But what would home be, even, without friends? One could be all bound up with lovo of wlfo or hus band, full of Joy with tho kiddies and happy In the wholesome home associations, but one needs outside stimulation, one must have outside interests. These Interests, of course, must be based upon friendship, not sex, nor politics, nor gasoline: but when one is stimulated by friend ship founded on mutual likes and dislikes and. mutual appreciation, one Is Indeed fortunate. You know the kind. He or she is the fellow, whom you can call up and say:- ."-Mr.. So-andSo is having us down town tonight to look over some very important plans I'm sending the kids down In a taxi. Be by for them later." Or, "I need a new man In the store, John; look around. on your trip to the metrop olis and pick me out a fellow who would fill the bill." And when your partner looks up startled like and asks you if you are not presuming a lot on a mere acquaintance, you .sit back with a look of self assur ance on .your countenance and tell him, "Oh, that's my old friend John Smith; he'll tend to it all right; l' couldn't choose better myself, and he knowsil'd do as much for him great fellow, John;. I want yoi to meet him some time great fellow; I remember etc." Yes, you remember many things when you speak of John, friend. He is a great fellow, and more's the pity there are not a lot more Johns In this old world. Nothing could be more pleasing, more satisfactory, more genuine, than a real, under standing friendship. Men and wo men seek it everywhere, they do not always realize that is what they seek as they visit here and there, but it is. You know, you who are fortunate enough to have a real boon companion, how good it makes you feel to confide your troubles and your joys, happy In the knowl edge that your secrets are safe and happy. In the understanding sym pathy or advice tliat you are certain to receive. Friendship is the real outward evidence of the existence of the brotherhood of man. Happy is he or she who values friendship at its true worth. Your friend is the fel low you can count upon for 'heir when you Wed It, for counsel wlion you are perplexed, for appreciation when you deservo t. ,Ho Js tho fellow who will oxpect tho same from you, and both of you arc, hap plest when, given an opportunity to show tho depth of your regard. Wo should bo more careful of our friendships. Too much Bhould not bo taken for granted. Friendship Is such u priceless thing; it Is full of give and tako and its casts a lot of sunlight into tho shadows of this busy old work-a-day world. THE COUNTY RATIO Students of tax matters received something of a Jolt when they learn cd yesterday that the county ratio had been reduced by tho Stuto tax commission from 54 to 43, Examina tion of the figures for tho other coun ties, however, showed that Des chutes was not alone lit tho ratio reduction but, on tho contrary, that every county In the stato had had a cut, the amount varying from Colum bia county's two points to Sherman's 23. For tho 36 counties tho averago reduction Is a triflo over 15 points leaving tho Deschutes cut of 11 points less than tho average. These unusual changes in ratio constitute one of tho most radical re forms instituted by the tax commls slon In many years. Just what tho effect will bo on tho Individual coun ties will not be known until tho state tax to be paid by each has been as certatned and a comparison mado, so far as possible, between it and this year's figure. It should be pointed out, also, that these ratios are announced as tenia tive only and will be subject to change after the coming meeting of the assessors of the state with tho commission which is to bo held next week. Here the effort of the Individ ual assessor will undoubtedly be to secure an Increase in ratio for his county. The measure of his success will have a bearing on the amount of state tax. The change will have one definite result that can now be stated, that is, unless the final figures are put back to about where they were before. This result will be a considerable reduction In the amount of taxes paid by the public service corpora tions of the state. Since our taxes are levied In dollars and not in mills this will mean a larger proportion paid by the individual taxpayer than would be the case with a higher ratio and larger payments by the public utilities. Apparently the commission has set out to effect a change. Mr. Lovcll spent considerable time last spring and summer In visiting tho various counties and collecting tax Informa tion. If he now has the ratios prop erly established we believe there should be a material increase in our valuations In order to show a tax rate that is somewhat in accord with the facts. ifinblo complaint Is mado of tho In structlon tho parents of Bond urc hurting both tholr children and thorn solve by taking thum out of school as n protest against other, unrelated conditions. If any arc taken from school it is the plain duty of their parents to secure other and eqiial In struction for them. While there In so much talk about rights being mado wu think It worth while to suggest smite of tho duties. It must bu pleasant for Mr. Paul son tu think that .parents are so In terested in his behalf that, to Becuro what they think itro his rights, they will tnko their children out of school! Mr. Paulson has, however, a remedy at law for any Injury ho has suffer ed. That Is tho complete answer to all tho talk about hearings and ap peals. Tho circuit court moots here next week. Lot him go to trial and get his caso settled. There Is no need of any agitation in his behalf by a parents association. . i Some days ago Tho Bulletin urged that citizens who believed In tho or derly administration of nur schools give their support lo tho school board. Nothing has happened since to causo it to change its opinion that hero Is a duty owed tho board. know, It Is certain that tho other line, a, tho owners of the stub end 8, oro keeping n close watch and some day wo Mhnll have tho news that con struction Is to bo begun either by them or by Mr. Strahorn, In order to reach these now Irrigation districts. j Fifteen Years Ago j Peek-A-Boo Waists Are Prohibition , Result, Says Child At Willard Day Program; Pay Offered For Statement SCHOOLS The Bulletin offers the following thoughts In regard to the school situ ation. In its opinion our schools are es tablished and supported for the pur pose of educating the youth of tho district. It Is both a duty and a pri vilege to attend school. As we have said before, throughout all the con troversy that has raged in the past month there has been no complaint of the quality of tho instruction given in the high school.

Tho framers of tho Constitution of tho United States had very defln Ite Ideas in regard to tho functions of n representative government; yet they recognized their limitations and made provisions tor amendments. Tho founders of tho Audit Bureau of Circulations wero equally por- splcaclou8. They laid n solid founda tion but did not Inhibit Improve ments In tho superstructure, They recognized the necessity for nctlon. To place advertising (in a basts where values could be meas ured, Just as they are measured In other branches of business, it was essential that tho falsifiers of cir culation should bo segregated. Pub lishers of that class could hardly be oxpectcd to stand up in meeting and bo counted, so' tho only feasible pro cess was that of elimination. Tho honorable publishers were. therefore, asked to co-operate and form an association, the Initiation to which would be a sovero and critical examination of their circulation rec ords. For a time omo reputable pub lishers misunderstood the fundamen tal principle of the Bureau. They con sidered the demand for an audit a re flection on their honesty. Instead of recognizing that a request to Join the Bureau was a tacit acknowledg ment of their standing and an invita tion to associate themselves with others in their class, and disassociate themselves from thoso who were un able or unwilling to stand the acid test of an A. B. C. audit. This erroneous impression has been corrected and today the honest publisher who remains out of the Bureau dclibetately chooses his com pany and classification: and adver tisers have no apology to make If they accept him at his own valuation. The Bureau started then, as an as sociation of advertisers, acting chief ly In their own interests and Inviting the co-operntion of veracious pub lishers. " It is to the everlasting credit of the publishers that they not only re sponded, but surpassed the expecta tions of the founders. The spirit of fair dealing on tholr part Iiqb resulted In tho Bureau evol ving into an association of advertis ers AND publishers, rather than one of advertisers, who are determined I In their mutual Interests to discoun tenance practices that are Just us in imical to the publishing business as they are to mat of advertising.

The demand for lumber continues brisk and prices still exhibit an up ward tendency, says the American Lumberman's weekly review, which continues: "The volume uf buying will probably be slightly less this week than last week, hut this Is largely due to tho diminishing sup plies of slock In most demand. Fac tory business Is picking up and tho railroads are buying a certain amount of material. Tho possibility of the railroad strike has canned some com panies to buy transit shipments but on the whole. It has had little effect upon the lumber market. "The hardwood market continues to Improve and everywhere predict ions are heard that supplies of stock will be Inadequate lo Intel the de mand. In tho south logging can not he done economically In the winter and consequently little progress in filling up slocks can be made until next spring. While winter logging can be conducted to some extent In tho north, sawing operations will not be heavy until next year."
