ISLATION REEDED
The Farm the Place to Study
All Legislative Problems.
' By Peter Radford.
Lecturer National Farmers' Union.
The principal (unction performed by
government today 1b to collect taxes,
keep records and prevent and punish
crime; but that Is not sufficient. Gov
ernment should tip its hat to the God
dess of Opportunity as courageously
as It draws a Blx-shooter on a train
robber. We ought to encourage thrift
as well as restrain greed. We have
been basing legislation upon the ex
tremes of human life the classes
high and low, the depraved and the
talented let us now reach the masses
and the extremes will more nearly
disappear. Our statutes are filled to
overflowing with pity and revenge;
let us add opportunity.
The slogan of the Farmers' Union
Is co-operation. Not only among In
dividual farmers, but between all legi
timate and useful occupations. We
want to sit around the hearthstone
of industry and talk over problems of
mutual Interest with our neighbors.
We want to Invite those who are
earnestly searching for information
on public questions to get back to
the soil with their investigations
where, in the stillness of nature, they
can climb the mountain-top of wis
dom, explore the deep canyons of
knowledge and stroll through the
o.uiet valleys of understanding.
There is no problem in civilization
that cannot be found in its native
state on the farm. The labor, edu
cational, financial, transportation,
home-building and all ether problems
are there. We will discuss a few of
them.
The Labor Problem.
We bow to the dignity of labor.
No one would be willing to do mere
to lighten the burdens, increase the
safety, comforts and profits of those
who labor in commerce and industry
than their fellow toilers In agricul
ture. Hut hew about the farmer vho
bows 1:1s back to feed and clothe the
world, and who works from sun until
sun? Is he not also entitled to an
increase in pay and a shortening of
hours? Much has been said about
the women in the factory and behind
the counter, but how about the worian
in i he field, drenched in perspiration,
gclbrrii-g the harvest, the little chil
dren, their lips wet with mother's
milk, toiling by her sjde? Are they
not als-o entitled to consideration? Is
not the man who d!;s in the ground
entitled to the same consideration as
he who toils at the forge, weaves at
the loom and works behind the count
er? The farmer has been bearing his
burdens as patiently as the beast he
plows, but is patience a bar from jus
tice? The labor problem of Virginia
today is cn the farm, and the first
attention should be given those who
labor In the field.
The Need of Cheap Money.
Agriculture has never been proper
ly financed. The farmer pays a much
higher rate of interest as a rule than
any other class oi' borrower and his
property, especially that of farm prod
ucts, is not so readily accepted as a
basis of credit as the property of
other lines of industry of equal mar
ket value. ,
A rural or land credit system Is
needed that will enable a farmer to
buy a home on long time at a cheap
rate of interest.
A statute based on sound business
principles that will enable the land
less to buy and encourage the large
land owner to sell, is much needed,
and one that merits the most serious
consideration of our law makers.
The financial problem of the state
and nation is on the farm, and first
attention should be given those who
create the nation's wealth.
It Is an admitted economic fact that
there can be no permanent prosperity
without a permanent agriculture.
An up-to-date farmer must have an
accurate knowledge of today and a
clear vision of tomorrow.
In this age of advancement In agri
cultural science there is no excuse for
soil depletion to further menace the
nation's prosperity.
Soli Is not a dead. Inert substance,
as many suppose. It Is an active, virile
force, full of energy and power and
the farmer should know his soil If he
would maintain its productiveness.
Agriculture Is recognized as the
greatest of all Industries and a pros
perous, progressive and enlightened
agricultural population is the surest
safeguard of civilization.

Many Heppner people attended the
dance at Lena last Saturday night.
TO
Portland, Oregon, Oct. 13. The
River and Harbor Bill having been
passed by Congress, the money nec
essary for the continuation of dredg
ing and the construction of jetties at
the mouth of the Columbia will be
immediately available. For the work
at the mouth of the Columbia $1,000-
000 has been awarded, for the work
on the Columbia below Portland,
$200,000 and for the completion of
the Celilo canal $525,000, which the
estimate will be the full amount re
quired. Since the report from
Washington was received about five
hundred men have been put to work
at Big Eddy and as soon as work can
be found for them, additional men
will be employed and the work rush
ed to completion at the earliest possi
ble date.
At an election held in Roseburg
early last week the voters of that city
authorized the issuance of bonds to
the amount of $500,000 with which
to as:;ist in the construction of a rail
road from Roseburg to Coos Bay.
A railroad commission consisting of
ten business men of the city was pro
vided for at the same election.
Fifty thousand dollars contributed
by Multnomah county citizens for the
completion of the Columbia Rive:
Highway in the county will be ex
pended in the immediate future un
der the supervision of the state high
way engineers. Tills donation it is
said will insure the completion of the
grading on the highway this year.
In the near future an extensive
system of stock yards will be estab
lished at Springfield for the handling
of livestock in the upper Willamette
valley. Market quotations will be
published daily, based on the Port
land market, and the surplus live
stock will be shipped to the metrop
olis. It 13 expected that the improve
ment will cost not less than $10000.
Following the disastrous fire at
Bandon last June in which property
to the value of $300,000 was des
troyed, the citizens of that progress
ive city have started out to make
public and private improvements
which will aggregate $250,000 in
cost. A number of modern fire-proof
structures are now under way, ex
tensions of the water system are be
ing Installed and a few months will
see a new and substantial city erect
ed on the ruins of the old one.
According to advices from Wash
ington. Oregon's share of the money
received by the government from the
forest reserves in this state amounts
to $60,606, and this amount will be
immediately available for the benefit
of the schools or improvement of the
roads in the counties in which the
forest reserves are located.
PROHIBITION TOIR IS KIN-
DKRKI) BY HEAVY ROADS.
Schedule Took Speakers Through
Sand Dunes Along Columbia.
In making out the schedule of
dates for the Dry delegation the com
mittee laid out a trip down the Col
umbia river, which was impossible
to make on time, so Mr. Hinshaw,
the National Chairman of the Pro
hibition party and George L. Cleaver,
candidate for Congress, second Oreg
on district, were not able to appear
in Heppner as billed.
They readied Arlington two days
late and Mr. Cleaver came on to the
branch towns Friday, visiting Hepp
ner, Lexington and lone, at which
points he acquainted himself with
the voters by coming Into personal
contact with them.
Mr. Hinshaw reports that the pro
hibition wave, not only in Oregon,
but all over the country, is the great
est in all the history of the cause, and
that the temperance forces are now
so combined that they will elect at
least three men to Congress In Nov
ember. The second district of Oreg
on is to have the honor of polling the
largest vote for a Pry candidate yet
recorded.
Mr. Cleaver says that the Dry ele
ment In all the parties that have can
didates, are lined up behind him and
that the Progressives and Socialists,
who have no candidates will vote for
him and assure his election.
The women are organized for the
fight and these temperance advocates
predict a complete knock-out for the
saloons on Nov. 3rd, not only in pas
sing the amendment, but by electing
a Prohibition congressman.
Enjoyed the State Fair.
Wilson O. Bayless ' returned on
Friday evening from Salem and Port
land. At Salem he took in the Slate
Fair and witnessed Morrow count;,
walk off with the blue ribbons. He
greatly enjoyed the fair all the way
through, and is firmly of the opinion
that the Morrow county exhibit has
been the means of doing us a lot of
good. The display was greatly ad
mired by hundreds of visitors who
expressed great surprise at the pro
ductiveness of this "cow county."
On his return Mr. Bayless spent sev
eral days visiting with relatives in
Portland.
