EuiKa ional Financial Aid bill will
assist the boys to complete their
education at Oregon Educational
Institutions. The maximum amount
authorized for this purpose would be
$200,000. Nt boy would get more
than $25 a month. This is a matter
of si turtle justice to the boys who
left school to go to war.
T'.ie market roads bill provides all
mill tax to raiso approximately $1,
ooo.ono annually for market roads.
Multnomah county will pay $365,000
of this fund and will receive only
$loo,000. Counties receiving benefits
from this fund must contribute an
e.iual amount. This bill means the
raising of $2,000,010 annually to be
spent on roads to benefit the farmer
rather than for main trunk highways
as in the $10,000,000 issue.

Ore-Ron voters can do no better
than to adopt the whole program,
give the returning soldiers a chance
to get on the land. Adopt these
measures which will make an in
dustrial and economic depression an
impossibility in the state and at the
same time inaugurating the certainty
of steady development of the states
resources and the creation of new
taxablo wealth.
The farmer, the- laborer, the bus
iness man all will chare equally in
the benefits.
The passage of the reconstruction
bills means a greater and more

A slight blaze was started lh a
room on the second floor of the
Aslibaugh building on Main -street
late Monday evening, and a' lusty
alalia was sounded on the siren.
However, before the fire truck
reached the scene the fire had been
extinguished. It was evidently
caused by a cigarette stub dropped on
the bed and all the damage . result
ing was the burning of a feather
mattress.

railroad administration, is pne which,:
as already indicated, brings no sur
prise to those familiar with all that
has passed since the railway control
measure was jammed through Con-'
gress under pressure from the White
House without due opportunity for
its careful formulation. It is fe-j
fluently said that the deficit is due!
to increases in wages of railway em-'
ployees. While it is true that large
increases have, been made in wages
of railway employees, this is only a j
part of the facts. When the railway
control measure was before Congress
lariotts members of the Seriate and
ilouse pointed out-that is wa3 defec-'
tive and that it provided a plan of
compensation for the use of the roads
that was neither equitable among
the roads themselves nor fair to the
public. But all efforts to change the
administration program failed. More
over, it is well understood that, the
railroad administration has not hand
led its business with anything like
the economy which the public has the
right to expect.
Can't Make High Wtm?s "the Goat."
In other words, it will not do for)
the railroad administration to shield;
itself behind the assertion that thei
troubles in which it has enmeshed
itself are due to increases in wages
and to seek to make it appear that
those who are criticising the faults
;f the railroad administration are
opposed to the payment of good
wages to the employes.
The truth is that not one of the
men in Congress who are giving in
telligent attention to the solution
of the railroad issue has any other
i hough t than that -the employees of
the roads are to be well paid for j
ll-.oir oofv-icpsr not milv thnt llllt il '
is realized that up-to-date methods
in respect of the ire.ajunent accorded
labor on the gTeat transportation
systems of the country must be fol
lowed. This is all the more true be
cause the men in Cougr.rss who are
going to he responsible for the new
taiircad and i'.ttt "state commerce
legislation fully uiuk-i'sta. d that no
nuttier what particular formula or
plan is finally adopted for dealing
Mi.h the roads, the oM day is pas;
and gono and the government frJm
this time forth is to be in c'.oser and
stricter control over transportation
lines than it was in the pre-war -period.
High Hates Lessen Traflic.
With respect to the impression
given out by the railroad adminis
tration' that the fir-it three months of1
the year were a peril d when business
as comparatively dull, there, is this!
,'act also to be born in mind: That j
lie tendency of high rates combined

) Keep business from the roads. In
a ..lioiwii of some exports who have!

to the parcels post.
Repieseutativo Moudell, the new:
.eader of the House, in speaking to-!
iay of the manner in which the rail
..)ads wei'e running behind, said;
"The disclosure of the enorntou..

out of the hands of the railroad ad
ministration and restored to their
owners just as quickly as broad and
constructive legislation can he en
acted. The prospect of still higher
rates will add to the public demand
for action, Unquestionably, Con
gress will address itself to the solu-j
tion of tills great problem' of what
to do about the railroads and in my:
oninion will effect a solution which;
will give general satisfaction.
Willis Ward was a visitor in Hepp
ner from his upper Blackhorse ranch
yesterday. So ftr the grain in that
section is doing well. Mr. Ward
states that his grain, as well as that
of moiit of his neighbors, came very
thick this year and of necessity re
quires a large amount of moisture.
Ho expects a heavy yield if proper
weather conditions prevail from now
to harvest. ' ,
M. E. Cotter, of lone, was in Hepp
ner a short time on Sunday. Mr.
Cotter is at present" engaged in the
boring cf a deep well on his place in
the Gooseberry country and has met
with the misfortune of ge.tting a set
roc is stuck. As to tho crop con
ditions out his way, Mr. Cotter thinks
grain is doing fine and the prospects
are excellent for a heavy yield.

tion. Doan's Kidney Pills are for weak
kidneys.

Mr. Ford Owner
WHY PAY EXCESS PRICES FOR REPAIR WORK?
v
We have adopted, the system of the Ford Motor Co.
in doing all repair work on Ford, cars at a contract price.
The advantage is: you know at once the cost of the
work. These prices were compiled by the Ford Motor
Co. and are considerably cheaper than if the work was
done at $1.00 per hour labor charge.
Bring your car in, we tell you beforehand what the
cost will be.
All of our work absolutely guaranteed to be first class,
and second to none.
Yours for complete satisfaction,
