time; they get together for a good talk and an interchange of ideas.
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

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.

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.

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.
