It is, we think, safe to say that all of Sherman county will join ¡n an endeavor to make the visitors stay here enjoyable and pro fitable Moro, as the host city, will exert every effort to be a per fect host. Housing must be provided for the guests They must be directed to the places they wish to go. They will wish to in quire about us in a friendly, interested sort of way and we should be prepared to answer them. It was in Moro that the first wheat league was held. It was called a conference and the name and organization came out of the meeting. Since that time the league has done many services for wheat growers But aside from the actual deeds accomplished it has done something else; it has given to Oregon wheat growers a sence of unity, an organization to speak for them—one that is alive and intelligent. So Sherman county welcomes back the wheat league—as one neighbor welcomes another. They are our kind of folks and we hope they have a good time and a profitable one ------- 0-------- SUNKISSED JUSTICE The first reaction to the California lynching is one of joy that the kidnappers were punished so quickly and so, well, thorou ghly for their indefensible crime. Tax minded citizens will be happy that the state was spared the expense of a long trial with appropriate emotional pleas Instead of the usual delay and cost two guilty men have been executed with no more expense than a busted jail door and a little tape for the sheriffs wounds- They had their just treatment beyond a doubt. But. What kind of a country is this that boasts of govern ment by the people through duly constituted authorities and then takes the law away from those authorities? One rather expects a few lynchings in the south where they have the habit and a lively emotional dislike of marauding negroes. California was hereto fore supposed to be a little more restrained. Governor Rolph says that the law comes from the people and that they have merely taken it back temporarily They certainly took it back, but the governor can not be certain that it is temporarily. It won’t do- this lynching Either we must have confidence in our established institutions and support them or we must go back to barbarism and the law of the jungle with each clan and family settling quarrels That system was not satisfactory. In law, as in football, the defense has gained the supremacy it appears and lawmakers and lawyers must change the rules or other such events may follow this one. ---- o---- So far, to take the government’s figures the many federal plans for the aid of the farmer have not helped his relative position. In 1929 he received 47 5 percent of the consumer’s dollar On Feb ruary 1933 he received 30 77 percent, and on October 24 the per centage was 30.76 percent of the money the consumer paid. The farm situation will not be settled until the position of the fanner is raised in relation to that of other classes. Straight vertical infla tion will not help. ------- o------- Farmers and stockmen may expend a part of their thanks on the weather man for an open fall that allows stock to get some of their living off the hills instead of using up the scant supply of feed. i --------0—— Whether one agrees with Al Smith or not he certainly stated his objections to the easy money theory in understandable terms.
