HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, APRIL 15, 1924 NUMBER st McNARY'S RECORD AHi MARKET AGENT SPEXCE WRITES OK THE TARIFF A WORKER FOR OREGON "HIFPPMFR 6 The "Father and Son" program of the Patron-Teacher association on Tuesday afternoon proved very edu cational as well as interesting. The Health Alphabet, a recitation by the first grade, and a song by the first grade, under the direction of Mrs. Turner opened the program. Carl Casou gave a talk on "What's the Matter With Dad?" As he said that he was afraid to mention any thing specific he read an article from the Child's Welfare Magazine, on the same subject. The gist of the article was that many a father is tailing inthat worthy mission of be ing a father by not being a boy with his boy, and by not making bis boy's Interests his interests. Carl cited an instance of one boy who was lamenting because lie had no father. A sympathetic friend who asked whether his father had died received this answer, "Oh, my lather is not dead; he i3 a Shriner." It seems that too many fathers tiave their interest outside the home rather than inside. The Rev. Mr. F. R. Spaulding, pas tor of the Methodist church, re sponded by a talk on "Father and Son" from the father's standpoint. He 3tated that he was not qualified to' speak on the subject since he was the father of only nine boys and the best authorities on the subject are those who have no children. His enlightening talk on the relation ol father to son was heartily applaud ed and showed that he was indeed Qualified to speak on the subject. A piano solo by Harold Beckett and a vocal duet by Mrs. uimiana and Leola Bennett, the other num bers on the program, were well re ceived. A business meeting followed the entertainment. A rising vote of thanks was extended to those who liad made the program a success. Mrs. Beamer reported that ar rangements are being made for an Educational Afternoon for Children at the theater. Films are being se cured from the University of Ore- eon and thru the co-operation of B G. Sigsbee, owner of the theater, the cost to the parents will be very slisht. . . - A committee has been appointed to consult with the board of direc tors on the feasibility of placing heavy wire screens on the basement windows of the school nouse. A check for $60.80, proceeds from the P.-T. A. vaudeville, given March 19. was turned Over to the associa tion by Dean Goodman, chairman of the committee. A vote of thanks wa3 extended to the committee and all who helped with the program. A local charter for the association was received from the state associa tion and it was voted to have this framed and hung in a prominent place to add dignity to the organiza- t on. A display of hanawork of the boys and eirls wa3 arranged in tne var ious grad& rooms for inspection by the narents. Nominations for officers for the ensuing year were made.

(Special) With "tax reduction, farm relief, law enforcement and Oregon devel opment" as his campaign slogan, United States Senator Charles L. McNary today filed with the secre tary of state his declaration of can didacy for renomination in the May Republican primary. Senator McNary is completing his seventh year in the senate, and dur ing his term of office has accom plished more for Oregon than any senator in its history. In fact United States Senator George H. Moses, Republican leader in the senate from New Hampshire declares that Senator McNary "has accomplished more during his ten ure in office than any western sena tor." Since Senator McNary entered the senate Oregon has received appro priations from the government to taling the giant sum of $30, 789,819. It has received $9,255,762 for its rivers and harbors, which Is $6,50t, 228 more than Washington received and $59,617 more than California received during the corresponding period. It has received $9,808,000 for its reclamation . and power projects which, when reduced to an irrigable area basis, is approximately $47 per acre for Oregon, which is $25 per acre more than Idaho received, $19 per acre more than Washington re ceived, and $14 per acre more than California received. It received $11,138,107 for it public roads, forest roads and trails which is $1,691,254 more than Washington received, and $1,350, 962 more than Idaho received. In addition Oregon received dur ing the seven years Senator McNary has bee in the senat an appropria tion of $507,900 for agricultural re lief, $50,000 for an aeroplane serv ice for forest protection, and $30 000 for the extermination of pine beetle. Within the last few days Senator McNary also has been successful in passing In the senate, his bill appro priating $50,000 for a forest exper iment station to be located in Ore gon. During his term in office Senator McNary has done more for the agri cultural, horticultural and livestock interests than any man in the senate As a leader in the tariff bloc he se cured a protective tariff on farm protective tariff on farm products including eggs, prunes, walnuts, fil berts, maraschino cherries, cream butter, butter substitutes, cheese cheese substitutes, and other com modities. He secured appropriations for experts to make a study of the walnut, pear, apple and brocolli and cranberry industries, appropriations for frost stations, and broadcasting of martcet reports.. He secured an amendment to the awr finance act authorizing the advancement of funds to the farmers and livestock men so that they could carry their products until they could be sold. He also drafted, Introduced, and is now championing the McNary-Haugen bill. He has Introduced, and has pend Ing a bill to perpetuate the coun try's forest resources, and which will materially reduce taxes by doubling the state's revenue for the sale of timber from its national forests. A heavy frost fell here Sunday night and some Ice formed. Fruit blooms are proobably considerably damaged. fljP)NE ELEVEN" cigarettes AN ANNOUNCEMENT With this issue the Heppner Herald ceases to exist as an individual newspaper, a deal having been consumated by which ,Vawter and Spencer H Crawford of the Gazette good will and subscription list of the Herald. From this date all subscription accounts due on the Herald list will be1 payable to the Gazette Times and all subscriptions paid in advance will be carried out for the time' paid with the Gazette Times. ; Tu i u : u - tt u j. uc wiiici nets uccit for a little more than seven years and during j that time has put forth his best efforts to give jo service to the community. Handicaps of many, varieties have interfered with making the Her- aid his ideal of what a local newspaper should I be but handicaps seem to be the portion of most 1 mortals in these post-war days no matter what M their line of work. Consolidation of local newspapers in small towns is the order of the day of late years and this action in Heppner is in line with that of many other towns of its class. Consumation of the deal at this time was brought about by the offer of a position in the east coming to the writer which promises much better returns than could be, hoped for in Hepp ner with two papers in the field under present economic conditions and it seemed better for all parties concerned that the deal should be made. After living for the better part of 26 years in eastern Oregon the writer has many regrets in leaving Heppner and Oregon, whose people are "the salt of the earth." Their warm-heartedness and loyalty to each other are unquestioned, their helpfulness in hours of trouble or disaster is beyond expression. That we appreciate these qualities so often found in action here is, we hope, not doubted. With sincere regards to all our old time friends and neighbors and with highest hopes for Heppner's early return to prosperity and progress, we say to one and all so long. S. A. PATTISON HENRY FORD PROVED A TRIE AN TO PROPHET How clearly Henry Ford saw the future of the automobile and how well he prophesied it, is shown in an article written by him in Febru ary, 1910, and published in a De troit newspaper. In 1909, as the article states, 2,- 000,000 horse-drawn vehicles were sold as against 80,000 automobiles. How;, the prophesied rev.crsal came appears in figures for last year. which show the sale of approximate ly 4,000,000 motor cars during 1923 as compared with 100,000 horse- drawn vehicles. The articles follows: "The automobile of the pa3t at tained success in spite of its price. because there were more than enough purchasers to be found to talce the limited output of the then new industry. Proportionately few could buy, but -those few could keep all the manufacturers busy, and prioe therefore had no bearing on sales. "The automobile of the present Is making good because the price has been rduced just enough' to add suf ficient new purchasers to take care of the Increased output. Supply and demand, not cost, has regulated the selling price of automobiles. The car of today Is better by far than the car of a few years ago the nat ural result of experience. The) price Is lower. Just enough lower to add sufficient possible purchasers to buy the increased output. "The automobile of the future must be enough better than the present car to beget confidence in the man of limited means and enough lower in price to insure sales for the enormously increased out put. "The car of the future must be 'the car for the people,' the car that any man can owi who ran afford a horse and carriage; and mark my words, that car is coming wotier than most people expect. "In the low-priced car dwells the future success of the automobile. Comparatively few persons can af ford ever a $1,000 car. A limited number of factories can easily sup ply all the demand for high-priced cars, but the market for a low priced care IN unlimited. More than 2,000, 000 hore draw vehicles were sold by American factories in 1909. When you substitute a motor-driven vehicle for each of these two mil lion wagons and carriages, you gt an idea of the automobile of the. fu ture. "The low-priced car will not be a makeshift, an automobile by cour tesy, a machine built for price. It is harder to sell to a man who can on ly afford a low-priced car than to the man whose money rnmia more eat--lly. Not only must the successful car of the future be low priceil, but It must, present at least eounl value with the present hlgh-nrlced ci'H. "The low-priced car should actual I m - Times take over the m y 1 1 I i in tiiajtre ut me rieraiu at I I 1 P I 1 1 I 1 y I 1 I I I 1 u I: ly be better than the) car at a higher price, for nioi.e is expected of it. The man who can afford the high priced car can afford a man to keep it in order, while the man who has to buy a low priced car, if any, has to look after it himself, whether or not he has any mechanical ability. Like wise, when he buys, he buys for business U3e and pleasure too. That condition prevails today. The low priced car must be better built than th,e high priced product, because it receives harder use. The successful low priced car of today is success ful because it stands harder URage than is accorded to $5,000 creations. "Equally important with low cost as a qualification of the car of the future is 'low cast of upkeep,' The weekly expense of an automobile will be mora Impoitant to the man whose income Is ?100 a month than will the cost price. The on he has saved by easy stages, the other inu.'t be taken out of his arnlns;--. Gaso line blll3, r-jpalr bKlfe, tiro bills must be low. They should be as low a.", expense bills for 4 horse and car riage. This low maintenance ac count can result only from light weight. "So the car of the future will be light as well as low priced. This means the substitution of quality for quantity even to the use of mater ials not yet discovered." It is notable, also, In connection with the foregoing prophesy by Mr. Ford, that during last year 2,090, 959 Ford cars and trucks were pro duced, fulfilling the statement made in 1910 that the light, low priced car would enjoy the greatest popu larity. TIIK WOOI, SITUATION (Friday's Journal) Willamette valley wool Is moving to market In slowly increasing vol ume. Limited lots are reported ar riving from Southern Oregon, where shearing operations are said to be getting under way. Sales here are shown at 36 0t pound for fine to medium and -blood offerings with coarse or -blood ruling as high as 3336 pound. Very little activity is shown in the wool market generally at Pacific Northwest points. Little shearing has been completed 3 yet, Yakima being the only section to practically end operations. There was some business there a short time ago around; 35 pound but no late trans actions are confirmed. Limited trading is reported In the Panhadle of Idaho with 38fl)40tf be ing the extrem,e mark but there li no confirmation whatever of business In Eastern Oregon. Excellent demand for kid mohair Is shown, with buyers' offerings up to 70 pound. Long staple Is quot ed centrally at 58. a Iosb of 24 pound for recent days Goat shearing Is under way in the Willamette vallev. Aa vet no nnnlo hi heen ad vei I fn. tinru 4VI ima'. The tariff was originated as a sort of insurance against the compe tition of aliens to raise their prod ucts to the' price of our higher stand ard country, or to keep them out en tirely. In a way is was a sort of a "bonus" to the farmers and manu facturers of this country. But the schedul.es do not act au tomatically, they do not raise or fall with changing conditions. They rise by organization strength and po litical pull, and they seldom fall. And as the years go by they become one-sided, from the fact that organ ized interests keep raising the fence against their products, while agri culture, with little organization and few 'representatives In congress, has but a three-rail barrier between it and othe products of many coun tries where wages, standards and money keep going down. And the result is that for the year ending June 30, 1923, there were brought into this country agri cultural products aggregating the stupendous sum of $3,315,000,000, while we only sold abroad (at pric es less than production cost) $1, 927,000,000. All the industries of our country except agriculture are prosperous, and all pay good wages. This condi tion i3 very largely due to unjust favoritism of the tariff duti,es. Man ufactured articles are very largely protected, and what are not (ire pro tected by combination strength, while more than three and a quarter billions of dollars of agricultural products are brought in hers to add to the "surplus" this country pro duces; 1o break down further the home prices of thi3 surplus; to break down the wagjo, scale of farmers and to force thousands more off the farms. If the protective tariff system Is to prevail in this nation -then it should be impartial and just, that all industries be on the same level anil the dollar of the farmer be worth as much as the dollar of the manu facturer. If tariff schedules are to protect those who cannot compete with alien producers, then let these schedules be so adjusted that throe and a quarter billions of dollars' worth of European and Asiatic prod ucts shall not be dumped onto the farmers of a country who are al ready almost burled under deflation. Deflation, foreign importations, high freight and express rates, mounting taxation and the middle Interests are all against the farming industry, and the result is that it is forced to a different basis than ttwr other business Interests of the coun try. While other industries have protected themselves and boosted and maintained their prices In keep ing with conditions, agriculture to day pays 65 per cent more for -vhat it 13 forced to buy than it 1M be fore the war, and is selling its prod ucts as low or lower than It did be fore the war. This condition forces an unequal exchange value for the farmer's dollar. His is a mighty dear dollar to get and a very cheap one to buy with. Yet in the face of conditions that are daily forcing men from the farms we Import $36,000,000 of dairy products. In the face of the desper ate condition of th,e cattlemen we import $5,663,000 of meats. In the face of the face of the hazardous sit uation of the grain growers of the nation, we import $24,000,000 of grains and grain preparations in one year. The average annual Income of the farm, according to statistics, is now less than $500 per year, and the $500 is below par in th,e markets of the nation. It is not "calamity howl ing" to state these conditions, but rather to forestall future calamity that Is certain to result to other in dustries of our. country if this un just two-3tandard system continues. ,Any hard-headed business head will admit this will be the result. Charged With How Stealing Ernest Dethloff, a 17-year-old boy who has been working for Andrew Reaney, of Lexington, is In the coun ty jail charged with stealing a horse from Mr. Rjeancy. The boy took the horse In the night and rode away. He was followed as far as Echo from were the matter was re ported to the sheriff of Umatilla county. A deputy sheriff picked the boy up near the Umatilla Indian agency and ho was brought here and lodged in jail. He has been turned over to the juvenile court and sty'ps are being taken to get in touch wiui relatives he claims to have at Hpo kane. Quiz Looms on Stanfield Ixmiu Washington, April 10. Rising to a question of personal privilege In the senate today, Senator Gooding, Idaho, Introduced a resolution de manding an Investigation of the dis tribution of loans by the War Fin ance Corporation, particularly those made to himself or his relatives or friends. Gooding's resolution aws referred to the committee on audit and con trol. Gooding, who is one of the largest rattle men In the West, declared that he would "court investigation of the loans negotiated by his com pany with tho finance corporation." "I admit that the small farmer did not get 'chpap' loans in 1921," he said. "Hut the fault was largely his own. The machinery was there hut he did not use it. "Mv hank wan the rnont prominent In Southern Idaho In organizing the farmers Into corporations in oroer - : t ha t thev could take out loans at ' ro'iimnahtu rates " ' ' - FOR LIVELY GAME WEATHER TOO COI.D FOR 1SEAE L1VEIA- UASKBAM lone ball team put 0110 over ott Heppner last Sunday by bringing with them, besides bats, balls, maska and mascot, a supply of their own particular brand of April weather, to which the Heppner team is not accustomed and the result was a rather unfavorable score for Hepp ner, the actual figures being: some thing like 3-7 in favor of the visit ors. Heppner had a new pitcher Sun day in the person of Johnson,, of Portland, and the new man showed real class not only in the box but at bat work. Bad w,eathet and the de sertion of Heppner's standard by Lady Luck are given as the main reasons for the score book showing1 up as it did when tho; game was fin ished, although some fans are still of the opinion that more practice and better team work will wor'k a. great change in Heppner's final rec ord at the end of the season. Frank Shlvely has recently been chosert manager of the Heppner team and those who know him best are get ting ready to place their money on the home team before many mora games pass by. Heppner has the timber for a win ning team. All that is needed is a master mechanic to mould it lnt winning shape and Shlvely ia said to be the man for the job. SINXOTT STRONG FOR RIcNARV-HAVtJEN BILIi The McNary-Haugen Export Cor poration Bill, now before congress, la receiving the hearty support of Rep resentative Sinnott of Oregon, whn has issued the following aeries or questions and answers regarding th measure : What is the purpose of the McNary Haugen Export Corporation bill? To equalize the farmer's dollar with the other man's dollar. How will it accomplish this purpose? By the establishment of an ex port agency to handle wheat and other major farm products if and when necessary, under provisions which will maintain legitimate prices. Does this mean the government Ifl going into the general farm mar ketinf business? No, id iwll operate through reg ular channels, and deal only as necessary to maintain proper prices. Will it destroy co-operative market ing? It will encourage co-operative marketing by assisting co-operative associations in a task which they cannot accomplish without such aid. What effect will it have on the mil lers? It will relieve millers from tho danger of serious price fluctu ations, due to speculation or oth er cause. What will it do to present prices of farm products? It will increase present prices for wheat from 40 to 60 cents a bushel, hog prices about 40 per cent, cattle about 30 per cent, ect. Will it increase production? Not more than profitable prices for farm products secured by any other meanB, and profitable ' prices must be obtained unleBS American agriculture is to pre Ish. How does it affect businessman and banker? America is an agricultural na tion. The success of all de pends on the success of agricul ture. The McNary-Haugen bill means success for agriculture. Is it fair to other Industries? Exactly. Under the bill farm prices increase only as prices for other products Increase. It does for the farmer only what other legislation already is do ing for other Industries.
