We in the northwest, being na
tives of the United States and de
scendants of natives to a large de
gree. take our American system of
government and the theory of
democratic self rule as a matter of
course because it has been taught
us from infancy and is understood
by us. 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.

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.
