MttHUOW VOl STY OFFICIAL PAPER
Wi. MI ST OPEN VP ORKGOX.
The voters of Oregon sfiould not
fail' to pass at least two of the meas
ures on ballot at election June 3.
namely :
The amendment to the Constitu1
tion authorizing the State fo guaran
tee the interest on drainage or irriga
tion bonds for five years.
The State is not asked to pay or
guarantee the bonds. The bonds are
secured by local land and are paid
by local districts. During period of
k construction, and in preparing of h
land for maximum production, the
farmer is hard pressed for money,
an,d the State of Oregon, by extend.
ing its credit to a:d in development
of his lands, without paying out a
cent of taxpayers' money makes it
possible to develop all of these
millions of acres of good farm land.
The interest, which State is asked
to guarantee, ;will be paid by dis
. tricts and State of Oregon simply
acts as banker and financial agent
for districts. It is extending results
of Rural Credit act to organizations
of farmers.
It will mean millions of - dollars
spent for construction work and
hundreds of millions added to as
sessed valuation of state. It will
give our discharged soldiers and
sailors first chance to , secure the
land offered for sale at a price fixed
by the state.
The other measure is the Roose
velt highway. The whole state is
interested in being linked with the
other coast states by all year north
and south highway which snow never
blocks. This would give three great
roads north and south, which with
the cross roads east and west,
would open up the whole state for
development. Every citizen in the
state should be interested in opening
up the while state for this is not an
eastern, western or southern Oregon
proposition, its a state wide prop
osition just as is the irrigation and
drainage district measure.
For once let us forget sectional
ism and get behind real state de
velopment which will help us all.

The most stupendous historical
pageant "ever attempted in Oregon
will be given in Salem for the com
memoration of the 75th anniversary
of the founding of Willamette Uni
versity, the oldest university west of
the Mississippi River. Between 350
and 500 people will take part in the
24 episodes which picture in dram
atic form the great events of Oregon
history. Over 100 Indian parts will
be played by Indians from the
Chemawa Indian School.
The pageant has been written by
Prof. Delia Crowder-Miller, who is
known thru all the Lyceum. circles
as the "Ben Hur Lady" because of
her famous interpretation of that
masterpiece. Prof. Crowder-Miller
will give personal direction to the
pageant, which fact in itself is an
assurance of its artistic and dramatic
. success.
Many pioneers are showing much
interest in the oaeeant because of
its depicting the famous scenes of
Oregon histbry. Much assistance is
being derived from their suggestions
as to the characters and appearances
of the great pioneers.
The oaeeant is under the direction
of committees composed of both
university people and the citizens of
Salem. Upon the general ex
ecutive 'committee is Pres. Carl
Gregg Doney representing the ad
ministration, Pr of. Delia Crowder
Miller representing the faculty, and
Prof. James I. Matthews represent
in? the alumni.
The pageant is to be presented on
a large out-of-door stage. As the
, seating capacity of the stadium will
not exceed 2000 people, the entire
performance will be repeated on
three different davs, June 7th, 9th
and 10th.
Considerable confusion exists with
reference to the two measures affect
ing the $5,000,000 reconstruction
bond issue that is to be voted upon
June 3.
There are two measures, for each
of which the ballot title mentions a
$5,000,000 bond issue. The two
measures relate'to the same bond
issue. One measure is the constitu
tional amendment making it possible
to issue the bonds, and rne other is
the legislative- act issuing the btxitfc
and specifying how the money is t
be expended. !
To vote for the $5,000,000 bonds,
it is necessary to vote for both meas
ures. If the constitutional amend-j
ment should carry alone, the bonds:
would not be issued. If tbe legisla
tive act alone should carry, the bonis
could not be issued, for there would
be no constitutional authority. In
voting for both measures, the voterj
is not voting for two bond issues, but
for the two measures necessary for
the one bond issue.
Also, in order to make certain that
the Industrial Hospital be erected
upon the proposed site iit Portland,
it is necessary to vote for the con
stitutional amendment permitting
this hospital to be erected outside
of Marion County. All who favor
the $5,000,000 bond issue, nrcfutfing
the industrial hospital, will vote not
only for the two $5,000,000 measures
but in addition will vote for tfte
cmendment permitting the hasptal
to be built in Portland. Oregon

WHAT WILL- BARK'S BABY
DRIXKr
Along with Dad's demijohn they
appear about to take baby's, milk
bottle away.
Dad may miss the demijohn, but
he will be better off.
The baby may not miss the: milk
bottle, but he will be much the worse
for its lack.
It his been discovered that there
is no substitute for butter.
Nor is there anything to raise- a
baby on but whole milk.
Children, to the age of twelve,
find in cow's milk a food that nothing
else supplies.
But the farmer lias discovered that
valeting a herd of cows is the most
laborious, tedious, and frequently,
least remunerative ork on the
farm.
The dairyman has no days off, no
slack season, no vacations.
He must arise at an unholy hour.
and must remain up until equally
sacniligious hour.
Many of his cows do not pay for
their feed.
City health department restrictions
impose limitations and expense upon
him that irk him, as well as cut
profits.
He is at the mercy of the clock,
and the hired hand, and the machine
milker does not solve the problem.
Dairying as compared to stock
raising, fruit growfng, or half a
aozen otner tarm specialties, in
cludes more work, and more risk,
and1 demands more atterftfon to
detail, and requires a better brand
of salesmanship than any of them.
And the profits are frequently less,
while the investment is greater.
The back lot cow once supplied
millions of American families.
It has about- gone, and left no
hejr to its throne.
Wide areas of grazing lands can
no longer be kept in pasture profit
ably. Dairy workers are hard to secure,
harder to keep, and hardest of all to
pay
Altogether it looks like the baby's
milk bottle in ten years would run
dry.
We may come to the family goat
yet.
The Soldier's, Sailors and Marines'
Educational Aid Bill is reveiving
hearty support from the press of the
State.- If ywu beliere mat the 2000
boys who quit school to enter the
service of the Country in the great
crisis and wfco have lost 18 months
va two years oat of their lives are
the fcmd of boys it will pay to
educate, vote 314 Yes. We are spend
ing thousands upon thousands of
dollars to educate young men it) our
State instrtiflipas, because we know it
pays- It wiS be a good investment
to educate the boys who went out to
fight our battles for us. If you are
assessed on one thousand dollars
worth of property, it will cost you
onetenth of one mill to help one of
these boys attend school a year, or
20 cents for the whole crowd. Are
they worm it? Be sure to vote 314
Yes.

LAWS
A socialist orator at Spokane eu
logizes Lenine, the Russian dictator,'
as having more brains than all the
Statesmen in die world. He says:
I "Lenine is endeavoring to insti
stitute a scientific government
where all the people may live ac
cording to the laws of nature."
To make if. possible to live and
protect persons and property and
the right to live,' liberty and happi
ness "laws of nature" had to be set
aside for laws of states and nations.
In me operation of the "laws of
nature" the strong takes from the
weak and such bogatells as morality,
equity, justice, disappear.
To do away with all laws, means
to restore society to such primitative
conditions that civilization as now
constituted will disappear.
That is about what is happening
in Russia under the operation of the
"laws of "nature," where earnings
and savings are impossible.
BaisbeYtsm m milder forms is
advocated in our country in the name
of democracy, of industry, and state-
owned industries.
The American ideals of individual
intiattve, individual enterprise, ac
cumulation of property and homes is
die opposite of Bolshevism.
"WATCH OREGON." '
"We have been keeping our eyes
on Oregon for a long, time," said a
middle westerner recently upon a
visit to our commonwealth. "The
whole world is watching Oregon",
said thus man and expecting Oregon
to do things worth watching." Why
not adopt as die state wide slogan of
progress "Watch Oregon" and make
our motto "Do something worth
watching." Vale Enterprise.

L. A. Hunt, recently appointed
County Agricultural Agent tor Mar
row county, has arrived and is now
on the job in earnest Mr. Hunt U
engaged at present in familiarizing
himself with the duties in his new
field, and he is pleased to note, that
notwitnstanding the county has been
without an agent since the first of the
year, many things tertaining thereto
have been looked after by Mr.
Brown, the retiring agent, and this
make it an easier task for Mr. Hunt
to get started with his work. We are
impressed that Mr. Hunt is a man
that will look after his work well. .
Mrs. M. 1. Oner, who has been at
the farm home of W. B. Finley in the
Alpine district since July last, has
returned to her Heppner home.
