Numerous initiative bills were
started by the plain people of Oregon
to go upou the ballot this fall. Also,
C. S. Jackson, wealthy publisher of
the Portland Evening Journal,
started two bbills.
The plain people, not having small
fortunes to pay the cost of getting
I5.0U0 signatures to each petition,
and' being busy working in shipyards
and getting in crops, finally aban
doned all their bills even after
many signatures were obtained.
Mr. Jackson, having riches, was
able to afford the expense of getting
enough signatures for each of his
two bills, so they go on the ballot,
the only two initiative measures to
have enough names to get them on
the ballot.
The two Jackson bills represent
pique against other publishers.
One is intended to divert revenue
from publishers to the postal service,
by substituting post card notices for
newspaper publication of delinquent
taxes. The other bill reduces the
charge made for publishing legal
notices. Both matters are entirely
within legislative control, so no real
, necessity exists for invoking a yote
of all the people.
So far as affording a means for the
people to legislate, the initiative
might as well not be In existence
this fall. But It does afford the
means whereby the brute power of
, money may place measures upon the
'ballot. Oregon Voter.
WORK OR FIGHT.
A press dispatch says: "Pltsburg
Pitcher Paul Perritt of New York Na
tionals received notice from his draft
board at Shreveport, La., to show
cause why he should not engage in
essentiaPemployment under work-or-fight
ruling. Third Baseman William
McKechnle of the Pittsburg Nation
als received similar summons from
his board here. Both will appeal."
It Is hard to understand how baseball
can be figured as a legitimate excuse
to evade the work or fight rule when
there is crying need for workmen at
all lines.
ALL HEM TO PRODUCE FOOD.
I Speaking of food how much of
what you eat do you help tg produc"
! by your own work? Farms need la-
bor. The difficulty is not an insuffi
! ciency of actual man power. There
I are plenty of men to supply the farms
I with help. But the man power is
'applied to other things, and the
1 farms will not be adequately suppli
ed with help unless men turn tempo
: rarily from their present business or
' employment and work on farms in
: their county during the rush periods
of cultivation and harvest.
If we were not at war you might
feel free to disregard this as your
personal duty. But we are at war;
this is a war need, and you are not
free to disregard it.
It is the duty of every strong man
of farm experience or of farm apti
tude who is not now engaged In work
to which his personal attention Is
constantly indispensible, to go to
farms in the agricultural territory
adjacent to his town when farm labor
needs are urgent, and help produce
the food crops which are essential to
war winning.
You eat every day. Somem an's
hard work produced that food. Our
We are now ready to take on that work
you have been holding back.
Our Mr. Johns is back on trie job and we have additional help
Your work will be cared for
promptly.

soldiers la France must eat and
somebody's hard work produces that
food. K you are so situated that you
can help produce this food it is your
duty to do so.
Lay off your present Job or get
away from your present business for
a few days or a few weeks as you are
needed. You'll lose money and

muscles and a clear conscience.
ALWAYS LOSING OUT.
Every week chronicles the further
loss of prestige of German ideas and
culture in the nations of the world.
Ten years ago It was the ambition of
every American scholar to finish
his course at some German univer
sity. The Teutonic literature was
read in high schools and colleges,
and science paid homage to the
learning and achievements' of that
race. It had won a position at the
very top of the ladder, and' its
leadership was recognized far and
wide.
Oregon capital owning its own
ships, with the development of a
strong merchant marine: main line
railroads double tracked the entire
distance that they pass through the
state; the Columbia River made a
valuable channel of transportation
from the sea to Lewiston, Ida.; recla
mation of 4,000,000 acres of arid
land within the confines of the com
monwealth; the Willamette Valley
put into condition to produce four
times its present production through
irrigation and drainage, are a few of
the plands outlined by Gov. Withy
combe in a statement covering the
larger vision of development for Ore
gon, which he declares should be the
aim and ideal of its citizens.
5-5
The changes wrought by four
years are almost beyond belief.
Everything has been lost and the na
tion and government which reached
the pinacle of fame, is the most ex
ecrated on earth. No one wants
anything of the music, literature,
science or administrative methods of
a gang which develops all arts for
the sole purpose of killing and des
troying. Many generations will pass
before the German people can throw
off the curse they have permitted to
be cast on them by their leaders.
Enterprise Record Chieftain.
From a pay roll point of view, the
aeroplane spruce operations in the
Pacific northwest have suddenly leap
ed into the same class as the ship
building industry. There are 25,000
workmen in the shipyards of Ore
gon and Southwestern Washington,
and nearly that same number of sol
diers and civilians getting out aero
plane spruce.
Hearing Mill Be On August 2.
The hearing in the matter of the
application of Heppner Light &
Water Co., upon its application to
the Public Service Commission of
Oregon for authority to increase or
adjust rates, will be held at the
Court House in Heppner on Friday,
August 2nd, beginning at 9:30 a. m.
Much interest is being manifested in
this application and it is expeced that
the same will be strongly opposed on
the part of the people of Heppner,
who now feel burdened to the limit
on account of water and light rales.
To this end the City of Heppner will
be well represented at the hearing
by attorneys who will defend its interests.
New Agent At Depot.
J. S. Taylor has resigned liis
position as agent at Heppner for the
O. W. R. & N. Co., and has been
succeeded by Chester Darby of Port
land, who arived in Heppner the
past week to take up his duties here.
The family of Mr. Darby arrived a
few days later and have gone to
housekeeping in the rooms at the
.depot. Mr. and Mrs. Taylor have
gone to Orchards, Wash., where
they expect to make their home in
the future.
