3IVE OUR INSTITUTIONS THEIR
DUE.
J. N. Teal, prominent Oregonian,
sent a worthwhile letter to C. C.
Chapman and it was published in
he Oregon Voter. Every citizen of
Oregon should read that letter. Mr.
Teal calls attention to the needs of
our state institutions and more es
pecially points out the shabby treat
ment which has been accorded the
University of Oregon since its estab
lishment some forty years ago.
Mr. Teal wrote in part :
The Penitentiary is a disgrace to
the state, and is no place in which
human beings should be confined,
even tho they are guilty of crime.
The State owes it to itself to pro
vide a healthy and decent place at
any rate for those in confinement,
and this is far from being the case
now.
The shabby treatment the Univer
sity of Oregon has received at the
hands of Legislature and the people
of this State ought to satisfy the
most strenuous opponent of higher
education, as well as the "tightest
wad" that we have in the State. You
may not know it, but I am told on
the most excellent authority that
since the University was started
more than forty years ago all the
money appropriated for buildings by
the State for this institution does not
equal in amount the cost of the Lin
coln High School. What do you
think of that when we talk about en
lightenment, progress, "flying with
MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THE PEOPLE WILL DECIDE.
It is not likely that the League of
Nations will be a party issue in the
coming campaign. At least Chair
man Will Hays of the Republican
National Committee has rejected
the proposal of the chairman of the
Democratic National Committee to
make it such.
Chairman Hays is of the opinion
that the League of Nations is not a
party issue any more than it is the
working of any single nation. None
of the political parties at Paris claim
any special credit for what has been
done. And President Wilson has
not been accepted as a party leader
by the allied representatives. He
has been there as, supposedly at
least, a representative of all the peo
ple. What President Wilson has done
in Paris will stand or fall as it is ac
cepted or rejected by the people of
the country who elected him as their
chief executive. Hence the entire
issue at once becomes one of Nation
scope, not confined to petty party
lines. Party politics has not entered
into the formation of the League ot

And You Save One-Half
If you've ever had a summer outing spoiled
by tire trouble, I'll bet you, too, would like
to have puncture-proof tires on all four
wheels.
Well, why not?
500,000 motorists are getting 5,000 to 10,
000 more miles than they've ever had be
fore from their casings, and are saving y2
on their tire bills a lot of them are right
here in our home town.
They are using Gates Half-Sole Tires be
cause they look better and are better yet
cost only y2 as much as other tires of cor
responding size.
More than that, they're puncture proof.
We'd like to show you the Gates principle.
How about dropping around!

In the face of this condition, I
:hink the progress the University has
made is remarkable, and think Presi
dent Campbell in particular is en
titled to a very great credit for his
ibility and good judgment in hand
ling a most difficult situation.
The Agricultural College has fared
better, but it is also in need of addi
tional room; and for a State whose
Future rests as much as this one does
upon agriculture, liberal appropria
tions rightly expended on an Agri
cultural College will be about as good
an investment as we can make.

AUTO MECHANIC MUST HAVE
ABILITY.
Garage men of the bona fide or
der are looking forward with joy to
the operation of the new law which
requires auto mechanics to take ex
aminations before the newly created
board of examiners.
The law is just. It will protect
the craftsman from inefficient -competition
just as it will protect the
motorist from the inefficiency of un
trained automobile mechanics and
repair men.
Under the new law every auto me
chanic must take the examination
and if successful in passing the tes'
of the state board of auto mechanics
examiners, he will be licensed. The
result of the examination shall le
termine into which one of three rat
ings he will be placed. Mechanic?
who fail to take the examination wil'
be subject to a penalty of $100. Tht
examination fee is $5.
The examining board, E. E. Bog
;ess, president; H. R. Fancher, vice
president and M. L. Granning, sec
retary-treasurer, will have its head
quarters in Portland, where applica
tion blanks may be obtained by ad
dressing Box 761, although appli
cants for examination may securr
blanks from their county clerks, o:
from local garages. Examinations
will be held later in 15 centrally lo
cated cities in the state and will cover
various specialized activities of auto
'rades as well as the usual lines o'
motor repair work.
The board will examine with writ
'en, oral or manual tests, prepared
;n on itnHprctanrlahV manner an
II Mil uimuidiuiiuuu.v ...M.I.1W., ...
he applicant may be examined in
iny or all subjects for which he, in
his opinion, is qualified. Upon corn-
oletion of the tests the applicant wi!'
be rated according to his ability in af
least three classes.
The classification of mechanics
will serve the dual purpose of giving
credit where credit is due and to act
is an incentive to others to increase
their knowledge and efficiency in
their crafts.
OPPORTUNITY.
A middle-aged man remarked the
other evening that when he was
about ready to cast his first vote old
er persons of his acquaintance told
him there was not much opportun
ity in the United States any more
for a young man with no special ad
vantages in the way of money, posi
tion or education; about all the free
arable land in Nebraska and Kansas
had been taken up; the railroads had
mostly been built; the good mineral
deposits perempted; a young man
with no special advantages could not
expect very much. Whereupon an
older person in the company ob
served that men had been saying that
ever since Adam s time.
Of all the men in the United
States to-day who enjoy a notable
degree of material success who are
able, say, to spend fifteen thousand
a year and up only a most incon
sequential few got their success by
any special advantage in the way of
inherited money or position or edu
cational opportunities beyond what
are open to the children of parents
whose incomes allow a margin above
bare necessaries. That will be as
true of the United States in the next
generation as it is now.
For a fair show to succeed a child
must have some advantages, but only
the advantages of an environment
in which his mind and body are not
positively stunted but can develop
normally, and of such education a3
is now open to any child above the
bread line of bare subsistence. Op-'
portunity for material success is now
wider and freer to the normally de
veloped, publicly educated youtvj
man and woman than it was to the
children of the pioneers who, in suc
cessive generations, took up the vir
gin empire west of the Allehanies.
A normally developed, publicly edu
cated youth in New York City to-day
has greater opportunities of material
success than had the son of an Illin
ois farmer when, by traveling west
wenty-four hours by rail, he could
take up a quarter section of covrn
ment land. Saturday Evening Posl.t
STATE ORCHARDIST IS
COMING TO HEPPNER
The county agriculturist has had
a great many calls to Inspect orchards
where diseased trees are causing con
cern to the owner. We feel that this
is a subject of great Importance to
Morrow county and one which is not
given enough thought by the average
farmer.
Unless something Is done to pro
tect the trees against disease we will
soon have no fruif at all. While this
may never be a second Hood River or
Medford fruit section still it is an in
dustry not to be ignored.
Every orchard man clearly recog
nizes that the control of the diseases
that infest fruit trees is not a prob
lem for the individual altogether but
in most cases can not be successfully
done without the cooperation of every
raiser in the district.
We clearly recognize our short
comings in the discussion of the fruit
problems and are therefore very glad
to announce that Oreogn Field Horti
culturist, Mr. C. E. Schuster, has been
secured to visit this county and diag
nose the situation.
When the County Farm Bureau
ompletes its organization this fall
irehard work will certainly be made
part of its program for it Is easily
tnparent that without some kind of
organized effort we can expect very
ittle results. Morrow county has a
-ery good spraying outfit which we
rill try to devise means to put to
work in the proper season.
In the meantime we shall do what
we can. Mr. Schuster win arrive
ibout the 16th of the month and we
shall try to visit as many orchards
as possible during the time he Is here
To assist us In covering this big
"ounty as speedily as possible kindly
advise us if you have any trees that
vou think require attention so that
we can plan our route with the least
possible travel, and please do bo at
once.
