ALBANY. OREGON. MONDAY. MARCH 22
SPRING 1920
The first day of spring peeped in on us Sunday through
smiling skies. It found the trilfium and early spring flowers
in bloom. I he wild current lends a beautiful touch of pjnk
to the landscape. Tiny buds are opening on the trees and
soon wood and field will be radient in green attire. Little
blades of green are forcing their way cut of the ground, ug
urine another bountiful ctod.
, the sun smiled throughout the glad Sunday and
brought forth the merry chirp of the robin. But in the
gloaming the heavens Bashed forth and thunder rent the
air and a copious, drenching rain moistened the earth. In
view of the fact that the season is several inches short'on
precipitation, the rain is most welcome. It is another assur
ance of a big harvest, another such year that will keep the
banks swelling with bullion and keep Linn county in the
front rank of percentages of growth in the state.
The last bank statements, commented upon in a recent
issue ot the Democrat, tell a mighty encouraging story, with
the development of the small fruit industry, the accumula
tion of more blooded live stock, larger acreages being plant
ed to hay, grains and potatoes, local business houses and
factories expanding and growing on every hand, there is
every reason to rejoice at the opening of this springtime in
Linn County.

THE MILLAGE BILLS
Oregon's three largest and most useful educational ins
titutions are facing the grave danger of having to close their
doors or limit the scope of their usefulness on account of
lack of funds. Ihe increase in revenue has not kept pace
with the growth ot the University of Ureeon. the Ureeon
Agricultural College and the Oregon State Normal school.
Unless the people, at the primary election on May 21 vote
the necessary money, the three institutions are going to be
dealt a severe blow. There are interests in the state who
are actively at work against the measure and who would
cripple the greatest asset that Oregon has its educational
system. It. is through the education of the people, the su
perior intelligence of the residents of Oregon over those of
most every other state in the union, that we are able to work
out successfully our systems of self- government. It is our
safest bulwark against Bolshevism and red radicalism. Let's
not forget it and vote for the millage bills.

Signs ofepring are aplenty. Have you produced your
seed catalog and made your selection for that fascinating
sport making your own garden. That is one way to beat
the H. C. L. and at the same time enjoy the best of nature's
delicacies from your own garden.
o
We wonder if Senator Newberry, now that he has been
given a ten thousand dollar fine and sentenced to two years
in the penitentiary, feels as patriotic as the militant suffera
gists used to when they went to jail for their cause.
. o
Saving the country against Henry Ford was a rather
'expensive piece of patriotism.
o
Now that spring is here the good roads work can go on
without serious interruption.
o
A first class resort at Cascadia would be a great asset for
Linn County. The benefit derived from tourist travel and
the resulting advertising would be ofuntold value.
o
There is room for development at Breitenbush.'too. One
of the greatest hot baths and mineral springs in the country
is supplied by nature at that point. A little road work would
go far towards developing it.
