THE PRESS, ATHENA. OREGON, JANUARY 25, 1929 AN INDEPKNDENT NEWSPAPER F. B. BOYD. Owner and Publisher ubcriptlon Rates. One copy, one year $2.00 One copy, six months $1-00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon, January 25, 1929 The motor truck-derrick combina tion in cattle rustling procedure seems to be getting the upper hand of cattlemen in some parts of the state, where trucks outfitted with a derrick contraption, rolls off the highway and their thieving drivers slaughter choice beeves and cart them away for sale to unscruplous dealers. Oregon stockmen are asking the legislature to pass a bill that will give them pro tection against cattle rustlers, more stringent than any law now in effect. It is suggested by some that it be made compulsory for both wholesale and. retail dealers in meats to be licensed and held strictly to record of all meats and meat producing animals purchased. Another proposal ad vanced for the protection of the stockraiser is that market dealers buy no meat or animals that cannot be properly identified by a system of marking or brands. There is no doubt that the net profit of stock men in some districts have been ser iously curtailed by the new butcher ing thievery. o Wholesale grade crossing changes would cost millions, entailing a stupendous tax, and in the end the reduction in number of automobile ac cidents would be chocked only in ratio to the crossing changes made. The proposal is tomfoolery in light of the fact that automobile drivers them selves are solely responsible for grade crossing accidents. If drivers of ears exceeding railway train speed, would exercise one-half the care and atten tion to common hazards of speed and control the locomotive engineer does, grade crossing accidents would be re duced to a minimum. An engineer does not run past signals, the car driver makes it a common practice to do so. An engineer would be either drunk or insane who would not slow his engine down to absolute control in rounding a sharp curve, but the chap who gets a "thrill" in taking chances at the steering wheel, will shoot head on over a "blind" crossing, and feels all the better if his exploit is illumi nated by the rays of the oncoming headlight. Common sense behind the steering wheel is what is wanted, not a tax burden for construction of grade crossings. o Roy 0. West, President Coolidge's appointee for secretary of the inter ior has been confirmed by the senate, after three days discussion of his nomination in secret session. Mr. West may be an ideal choice for the cabinet position, so why handicap him with a mantle of unnecessary secrecy over his appointment? In his acceptance of this public office, one of the most important in the cabinet, the public has the right to knowledge of all details pertaining to his appointment. The method of his confirmation has deviated from the usual open procedure of the senate, and this fact is likely to interfere with Mr. West's official capacity, in that the public has been keyed up to the point of attention by the squab blo over his selecion for the place. o Enoch Bagshaw, erstwhile coach of the Washington Huskies seems to have bagged a deadlock between the athletic faculty and the board of con trol, as the result of the proposed de thronement of the Washington coach. "Baggy" seems to have the good will and support of the football team and the athletic enthusiasts of the Uni versity, but is "rouse mitt him" with the board. Not all members of the Mussolini family are politicians. Arnaldo Mus solini, brother of the dictator, has re fused to become candidate for deputy in the coming elections in Italy; pre fering no doubt to be a big duck in his own little puddle rather than a little due in his brother's big pond. When it comes to eating, Marshal Foi-h is of opinion that Napoleon knew what ho was tnlking about when the Corsican said, "a soldier fights upon his stomach." Another loaf of black bread and a bottle o' wine, please. o Next Sunday ex-Kaiser Wilhelm will celebrate his 70th birthday an niversary at Doom castle, Holland. For a man of his age, the ex-Kaiser lived a long, long timo during the World War. i o Be it known that "boxing" and the theory of the missing link still pre vails in some parts of these great United States, irrespective of civil ization, education and legislation, o Buenos Aires has a hot temper (aturc.)
