The boys who will probably fill the camp here will come from the industrial east. Many of them will not have had educational ad vantages and almost none of them will have any great knowledge of the geography or history of the nation. It is perhaps an indictment of the industrial part of the nation that the forgoing is true. But, as we of rural America consider our selves to be the caretakers of the American spirit of democracy we can do something to foster that spirit among the boys who are des tined to spend a few months in our open western country. The principles we cherish can be taught more easily by example than by precept. We are a part, it ap pears, of an Americanization pro gram; we are, willingly or not, the examples. It is for us to deter- mine whether we shall be good ones or bad. GOOD WORK There will be new and added re spect for the volunteer fire depart ments in this county since the fire at Wasco Saturdays Anyone who observes the condition of the burn ed Burres building will realize that only speedy action saved it from complete destruction with almost certain burning of several other buildings in the heart of the busi- ness section. Small town fire departments often work under handicaps that would deter regularly trained firemen. Water pressures, hoses, equipment are never as good as in the larger towns but the personal interest in the job is sufficient to overcome many difficulties. There is no doubt in the minds of Wasco citizens that the fire departments saved the town from a loss from which it could not have recovered in years, if at all. the changes that come to us and be able to move in the direction in dicated by the facts we are able to understand and foresee. Per haps that is opportunitism and not planning. MAYBE We wonder how the present furore about the defeat of the util ity bill will be regarded after the smoke of battle dies down; how the next generation will consider it; how it will appear on the pages of history books? Is it going to be thought im moral to work against the passage of bills that seriously affect estab lished business? There are a few people wino believe that the utilities have used all the virtues in their machinations. All agree that con trol is needed. Whether that con trol shall be state or federal or whether complete ownership of the utilities will be the outcome can not be known. That so many headlines should tell of the lobby for the utilities manifests a desire on the part of the people to keep the power inter ests from holding to their present statUB. Dishonest practices have already been shown, but the effec tiveness of these practices cannot bo shown. Lobbying and pay for lobbying is as common gs legislation. The farmers of this county have made up purses several times to lobby for desired legislation^ That means paying some one to write a satis factory bill and interest legislators in it. More often farm legislation lobbying is done from personal in terest, however. There is great prejudice against public utilities that may be the be ginning of the end for them or it may be but a passing political situation that will be forgotten with better times. gives to the economic, social and out of the Circuit Court of the political problems with which they State of Oregon for the County are now confronted will determine of Wasco, on the 31st day of Au the relations between the State and gust. 1935, pursuant to a decree entered in said Court June 6th, Federal Governments. 1935, in a suit wherein The Ore Before the American people is Wheat buyer» in this market gon-Washington Joint-Stock Land the practical question as to the ac- were paying >1.00 per bushel Thur» - - In the 22 years of its existence day.
