Ever since the success of Julius Meier in winning the governorship against candidates of the old rarties there has been a tendency to nominate independent candidates for high office. However, it is hard to see how leaders of such an enterprise can expect success to follow their efforts as completely as it did in the Meier campaign.

Grass Valley who had won a close decision in the primaries He did not have the magnetic personality that draws large numbers of votes. The Republicans after a surprising primary cam paign . had lost their nominee by death and had named another in one of the moat hectic and unsatisfactory meet* ings held in the state. No one was completely pleased with' the turn of republican affairs because from the very settir g of the meeting and its haste it was impossible to choose a man without the charge of political manipulation. For these reasons more than because of thé strength of the independent candidate the result was favorable to Meier This year conditions are different. The democrats are re presented by a man of unquestioned integrity and of excel lent reputation who also has touch of the personality requir ed in vote getting to judge by past preformances After a primary in which almost every phase of thought was repre sented the republican candidate was chosen by a large ma jority. Voters could have chosen a man to suit them from the list of candidates offered. It is necessary for all parties, all business firms and all other enterprises to cast aside their old men occasionly and to find new ones whose ideas and methods of thought more nearly fit the temper of the times. The democratic party has done so with the inauguration of Roosevelt and the Re publications are in the process of doing the same. The so called liberals in this state might profit by their example. If the same leaders who have preached outright socialism are to control the session in Salem next Monday it will be no gain to the liberal cause. Political liberalism whether within parties or without is always worthy of praise for it is through it that most of our politick! progress is made It must, however, be based on something more tangible than fear of Wall Street, and more constructive than condemnation of pref-ent office hold ers and have a more inclusive program than one catch Mr. and Mrs. Owen Searcy of phrase can express. Corvallis were stopping at Kent Kent News -0- HUROO, YOU SLAVES A well known citizen of this county has an expressive saying that seems to fit certain governmental groups. Mim icing the tones of the hardboiled gang foreman he remarks, “It isn’t because I hate you, that I beat you. It’s to show me authority over you.” It is impossible not to wonder if somewhat the same attitude doesn’t manifest itself in those in authority. You can’t do this, and you must do that, you shall have a license for this and a permit for thatr till you’d think every man was* a crook desirous of stealing the birthright of his fellow man ----- 0----- Advocates of a state bank might be encouraged to think of that even million bucks in the treasury that no bank will take Banks can get as much income from government bdnds as from state money on which 2 percent must be paid At that we doubt if black widow spiders ever crowd the blond ones out of the limelight. ------- O------- To plan a bank robbery one night, do it, get caught, sentenced and arrive at the penetentiary before another nightfall must be quite a shock to a budding highwayman. ------- O------- When the strikers get angry enough to kick some of their grafting bosses into the river the tie-up will be over. The wheat market certainly has a low pulse- Stimula tion given by the smallest crop, floods, hail storms and drouth do not effect it and it used to flutter up and down with every report of a chinch bug or cool wind. Here is the longest day again, and don’t it beat the deuce how fast they come the last few years. We recommend the platform of Independent candidate Wirth He promises monthly old age pensions of $75 and up, work for all at $30 per week, low interest and lower, tax es.’ How? We don’t know either. Maybe when the movement gets good and started they will do away with the legislature all together. PAGE M short time Saturday- Mins.

Wilson and Mrs. George were shopping in The Dalles Sat urday. Half-Billion Possible Winter wheat production in the Umnt?d States this year, as indi cated by conditions June 1, is re ported by the crop reporting- board of the United States Department of Agriculture all 400,537,000 bushels, a reduction in prospects of 61,000,000 bushels or 15 per cent during May- Spring w'heat production is still very uncertain because of heavy loss of acreage in the Dakotas and Minnesota, but it seiems Jikely to be About 100,000- 000 bushels. The total wheat crop may not exceed 500,000.000 bushels. This would be the small est crop since 1893- A sharp decline in crop pros- pect^, lieavy losses of early crops and, for this time of the year, a record low condition oF pastures are shown by the June 1st report. The records for June in past years show nothing comparable with the situation tlhiis year. The June 1 condition of oats for example is 47 2 per cent this year whereas the lowest in past years was the 78.3 percent recorded for 1928. The condition of Tame hay is 53-9 and the lowest previously was 76.0 per cent in 1926. Wild hay prospects are even worse, being 37 7 com- aa n l THEF aggravated by abnormally high Considering the loss of acreage, tenKporaCui ^3 and frequent dust June 1 indications point to a storms. As a result, a part of the of only about 100,000,000 bu.1 _’s. intended acreage was not seeded, and considerable acreage was lost either through failure to germi UPDEGRAFF & PEPPER 1 nate or through death of the young plants after germination- ZELL’S Moro, Oregon FUNERAL HOME Dr.F.À.
