FARMERS UNION
PROGRESStVE BODY
The resolutions adopted at the
recent annual meeting of the
Morrow County Farmer's Union
relative to better roads and cheap
er iight and power shows that or
ganization to be made up of a
progressive and well balanced
body of men. Time was when
the farmer was looked upon by
the professional and business
world as little more than a sot t
of beast of burden whose onl
province it was to stick to the
farm, put in 14 or 16 hours a day
producing the wherewithal to
feed and clothe the world, keep
out of politics and allow the busi
ness and professional classes to
fix the prices on what he had to
Bell as well as on what he had to
buy and to direct and govern all
matters of public concern with
out so much as a "by your leave"
to the men who are the very
foundation not only of society
itself but of all the good things
that come to society at large in
the way of food, raiment and
other things which have become
bo vitally necessary to the happi
ness and comfort of all civilized
peoples. Stop lor a month the
production of food, wool, cotton,
leather, dairy and poultry pro
ducts and the world would be lac
ing famine, anarchy and death.
The world lias been changing
along these lines of late years,
however, and today the farmer
is coming to represent not only
the brawn of the community but
a good part of the brains as well.
That this statement is true is at
tested by the action of the Farm
ers' Union the other day when
they declared themselves on two
questions of vital interest to all
of the people of Morrow counlj
-good roads and cheap pow
er. Iteing true conservationists

to assume that some of them have
knowledge of the drag either
from experience elsewhere or
from studying road methods as
practiced in other states. The
Herald would, therefore, beg to
suggest that the split log drag
should be given careful consider
ation by those in authority in our
road affairs.
On the question of cheap elec
trical energy, the position of the
farmers does not seem to leave
mu'-h of a toe-hold for adverse
argument. When they affirm
their belief that the John Day
and Columbia rivers could be
made to generate enough elec
tricity to light and heat, and suf
ficient energy to supply power
for the county and state much
cheaper than it is supplied at
present, they are simply stating
a fact that is patent to every ob
server and one that has been suc
cessfully demonstrated in count
less sections of the west. Note
that these farmers use y the
word heat in their resolution.
1'hey seem to be aware of the
fact, if the business and profes
sional world and the politicians
are not, that the day is rapidly
approaching when people will
quit buying high priced wood and
coal in sections remote from mine
or forest and will heat and light
their homes and cook their food
with electricity generated from
the almost unlimited water pow
er now going to waste at their
doors. Note also that those farm
ers did not stop there but added
another paragraph in which they
collectively urge the Hon. Fred
erick 11. Newell, commissioner of
water power, to use all honorable
means in his power to install the
generators necessary to develop
the electricity needed and to con
struct lines to transmit it all over
our county.
Now, that is getting down to
brass tacks. When a lot of men
become alive to the fact that they
want a certain thing, that they
need it and that there is a course
to pursue by which they may be
able to accomplish that thing and
then without further talk or par
icy go out after it along the
course that seems to promise the
tu st results, they are in a fair
way to get somewhere. Morrow
county has had many business
organizations, commercial clubs,
Dulls, banquets and beer parlies
at which public needs have been
discu.-..A'd but it seems to have
