FLIMSY REASONING
(Tho Dalles Chronlclo.)
If tlio opposition to Congressman
N. J. Slnnott In Umatilla county is
based upon no hotter Grounds than
those offcrcil by tho Pendleton Knst
Orogonlan In Its recent editorial ex
pression on tho subject, the rcpubll
cans of that county hare little
grounds for endeavoring to effect n
change of representation at Wash
ington.
"Tho present representative U an
affable gentleman and he has many
friends who will resent tho Idea that
' anyone should seek to bring about
bis retirement," states the East Ore-
gonlan, which is of democratic lean
ing, by tho way. "On tho other hand
thero aro a great many people who
see no necessity for giving Mr. Sln
nott a life lease on his job, and who
believe the situation could be mater
ially improved by bringing about a
change."
As a matter of fact, there nre prob
ably n few disgruntled Umatilla
county politicians, even as there are
n few In Wasco county who would
kick Slnnott out on tho chance that
they may get more out of the pie
from some other congressman.
On the other hand, Just why
shouldn't Congressman Slnnott havo
n llfo job In Washington, If he Is
making good? The editor of the
East Oregonlan knows just as well
as anybody else that prestige In con
gress Is a matter of seniority.
A newly elected congressman does
not step .into committee chairman
ships the day he arrives in Washing
ton. He Is given Insignificant as
signments and must prove himself.
Step by step, the congressman works
himself up the scale until in time hoi
comes to tfee top of the list.
That was the case with Slnnott.
He started in at the bottom of the
heap and has gradually been coming
up.
Slnnott today is chairman of the
public lands committee, the most Im
portant probably,-to eastern Oregon
and he has done splendid work there
as every man who keeps In touch
with public matters knows. More
over he Is next to the top of the list
on the irrigation committee. Ills
colleagues Hawley on ways and
means and McArthur on naval at
fairs, arc also on Important commit
tees but each is far down the list.
Nick Slnnott today stands at tho
top of the Oregon congressional del
egation, and his retention as cong
ressman means Increasing prestige
for his district. 'The longer he re
mains In congress the more Import
ant his assignments will become, and
the greater his worth will be be to
eastern Oregon.
The election of James H. Gwinn,
who has announced himself In Uma
tilla county, or of any other man,
means the loss of everything. To
gratify tho jealous ones, the whole
district must slip back again to the
bottom.
Will a new man, sent to Washing-

Tlio East Orogonlan says that cor
tntn appointments iiuulo at tho sun
good will probably, for wo havo
hoard no complaints from any source
save In Umatilla county whom tho
democrats aro displeased about tho
Pendleton postmnstcrshlp. Tho spoils
system, continues tho East Oregon
tan, has been mndo n direct and un
avoidable Issuo in the congressional
campaign as a result of this appoint
ment. Very good. When has tho
spoils system not been an issuo in
congressional campaigns, and Just
how is Congressman Nick Slnnott
or any other Individual to got nwny
from something that has dominated
tho country slnco tho constitution
was adopted?
THK ASSESSOR
The people of Deschutes county,
who will shortly select candidates
for tho offlco of county assessor.
should bo interested in the opinion of
C. C. Chapman, of tho Oregon Voter,
on the present assessor, August A.
Anderson, who will bo a candidate
for reelection. In tho latest Issue of
the Voter It is said that "Insofar as
a well prepared tax roll summary In
dlcates anything, it would appear
that August A. Anderson is qualified
to conduct the offlco of county as
sessor of Deschutes County In a bus-
lnessliko manner, for tho tax figures
we get from Deschutes arc always re
ceived promptly and In shipshape.
Anderson was appointed assessor to
fill the unexpired term of tho late W.
T. JIullarkey, and Is a candidate for
election this year. Most of Ander
son's llfo was spent in tho lumber
business in ,the manufacturing end
in Wisconsin nnd Washington, and as
manager of the Redmond branch of
the Tum-a-Lum Lumber Company In
Redmond from 1910 on up to the
time Deschutes county was organ-
ozed, when he was appointed chief
deputy sheriff, serving as such until
a year ago, when he was appointed
assessor."
Those who have been familiar with
Mr. Anderson's work know that his
abilities extend beyond the compe
tent preparation of a tax roll sum
mary. As deputy sheriff In charge of
tax collections he received a training
that naturally qualified him for tho
higher position to which he was ap
'pointed. In the office of assessor he
has served efficiently. State offl
cials who co mo In touch with his
work recognize It as a model of It
kind. The county has an Investment
in him which it is not likely to throw
away by selecting any other man for
the Job.
A FORMULA FOR CITIZENSHIP
(La Grande Observer)
Tho American type is still an Il
lusive, undeveloped thing If one Is
accurate and honest in seeking to
describe it. In New England there
Is a fairly distinct type. It Is
combination of English, Scotch and
Welsh, with tho background thoso
races have of Dane, PIct, and Scot
Saxon, Norman and Celt. This New
England type Is also modified a lit
tie by a strain of French and some
times Dutch.
In Pennsylvania tho native Amer
lean would be English Quaker or

It Is not racial unity which makes

bat. They can only be Ignored.
To such attacks has Sheriff S. E.
Roberts beon subjected. Ho mnde
no verbal reply to critics Intlmntlng
that official protection was being nc
corded to a chosen few.' Ills answer
came through action, not words. The
series of raids mado on moonshiners
and other liquor law violators this
week Is his reply. It Is an argument
Irrefutable.
Public appreciation of the work
which has been dono by the sheriff's
office In cooperation with stnte nnd
federal authorities was voiced by
Justice E. D. Gllson at tho conclu
sion of ono of yesterday's liquor
hearings. How clearly the record of
Sheriff Roberts' offlco estab
lishes tho falsity of reports
having their basis in enmity
against the forces of law and order,
was pointed out by tho court.
This declaration Is significant. It
may bo taken as showing thnt tho
estrangement which onco prevailed
between city nnd county authorities
Is ended that n tacit agreement for
cooperation has boon reached. Tho
way of tho transgressor will appar
ently be even harder than before.
LA GRANDE AND THE MANAGER
In view of tho proposed voto to
be taken In Rend on thn advisabil
ity of a change to cither tho com
mission or managerial form of gov
ernment, the following editorial com
ment from tho La Grnndo Obosrvcr
Is of Interest:
La Grande has a commission-man
ager form of municipal government.
After lumbering along for years with
Inefficient government under coun-
cllmanlc form wo as a city took tho
bull by tho horns and adopted a new,
progressive charter full of tho "mod
ern," Ideas.
What huvo wo dono?
Not much!
All wo should have dono when
wo were striking out in all directions
for now flung Ideas of city govern
ment, wo failed to do. Tbo thing
that was needed under the council
manic form of city government was
to retain a councilman from each
ward to represent his part of tho
city and have the council olect a paid
city manager to handle the business
of the city.
That is all that was noeded then,
and It Is what Is needed today.
Wo have gono In a circle and wo
have failed to find tho romarkable
efficiency expected. Wo havo. it is
true, reduced our board of council-j
mon or commissioners, whichever
you may term them, to threo mem
bers. As a result wo do not havo
tho deliberation on matters that five
or soven citizens would glvo. A rut
Is formed for tho public vchlclo to
run in, for It Is but natural that
whon two councllmen agree on many
things they will stick together be
lieving thoinsolves to bo right. Hut
wo aro told that in numbers thero
Is wisdom, unci In city affairs wo
have begun to bollevo that our nil ru
bor of commissioners Is too small. Uy
this romark wo do not wish to tako
up any commission dlsjgronmont, but
prefer to look at tho form of govern
ment rather than tho personnel of
tho government.

THE FARMERS' FRUIT
While not uulto up tho nverngo.
the expectation for tho yield from
Oregon crops, on a percentage basis
Is greater than that for tho nation
as a whole. With this Htatouiont
made In tho official department of
ngrlculturo forecast for Oregon
thero Is tho accompanying mention
of wages, showing that lu this phaso
of production oxponso, tho farmer Is
virtually back on a pre-war basis.
The farmer Is apparently got ting
his clianco to "couin bark." Although
sliming In war time prosperity, be
took more than his share of tho re
action, and ns was pointed out by
a promlnout Portland financier on a
recent visit to llond. It Is because of
this, tho wide variance between thu
values of agricultural and manufac
tured products, that tho period of
readjustment has been rnther a pro
tracted ono.
Farming costs havo heou coming
down, however, nnd with tho estl
mnted yield for tho nation as a whole
below normal, It Is only reasonable
to expect that prices will advance
somewhat, closing tho gap still more
between farm and factory Inter

huvo had tho grit and perseverance
to fight It out during the hard times
ami that means most of them can
now soo prosperity ahead.
