The outstanding feature of the el ection, was the passage of every mea sure on the ballot. It shoiws that people go to the polls now with clear cut convictions as to the merits of a measure and they vote accordingly. It seems that in the past, many "no" votes were cast because, argued the voter, "it is better to kill all the mea sures, including the good, rather than to let a bad one slip by." The peo ple generally, of the state at large, understood the seriousness of the sit uation that has confronted the educa tional institutions of Oregon. They fully realized, as their vote showed, that progress was possible for the schools only through a liberal finan cial patronage. It is fortunate for Oregon that she lias an intelligent citizenship. It is to be lamented that so manv people do not consider a primary el ection of enough importance to go to the polls and cast their vote. There were few if any counties in the state where more than half a vote was cast last Friday. Yet we predict that the presidential campaign will warm up to such an extent in the coming months, that it will be the means of bringing out a full vote next November. More Home Owners "The red flag never flies over a man who owns his awn home." The above is the epigramatic re mark of a great American citiien. And he is right. The moment a man buys his own home, whether it is in the city or the country, he In stinctively, and perhaps unconscious ly, feels himself a part owner in the whole country. No man can have that feeling and be an anarchist or a bolshevist. Bolshevism and anarchism may never get very far in the United Slates, but both of them lisve boon fed up a whole lot by the fact that miny men have been unable to own ,:ieir own home in the city and their (n homestead in the country. Ill the cities it has eveu been hard to rent, and at prices 200 to 500 per cent higher than before the war. But the good days are comiug Patriotic citizens are working to the end that more people shall have homes that they can call their own. We have great hopes that the strong ly organizing farmer movement will result in fewer lawyer-politicians in :he councils of the nation and more of the common ordinary citizens of the republic citizens who wilr see to it that there is less renting of ag ricultural lands and more owning, and which is the game thing less renting in the cities and more house dwning. They all admit that the ru ral citizen is the backbone of this nation; let him rule a little, then. Sunflowers for Silage "One thousand silos on one thou sand farms," is the slogan that has been adopted by the Wallowa county farm bureau, and those will be filled with just common old sunflowers. And yet, the results already obtain ed in Wallowa county prove sunflow ers to make excellent ensilage. Sun flowers will grow where many other plants cannot exist. In Wallowa county, average conditions are unfav orable to growing corn, yet 200 acres have been given over to the success ful raising of sunflowers in 1919. The largest yield reported was 40 tons to the acre, the lowest, 10 tons, and the average for the 200 acres being slightly over 13 tons per acre. Wallowa farmers and stockmen who fed silage the past year are all enthusiastic regarding its value. In Deschutes county the results both in growing and feeding sunflowers have been so satisfactory that the farm bureau inaugurated a strenuous and enthusiastic silo campaign. In Klamath county a number of farmers have experimented with the wild sunflower, which grows luxur iantly on dry lands. They find that cut at the proper stage, it is relished and eaten greedily by all kinds of livestock. Sunflowers as feed for stock are past the experimental stage. Their food value lias been established. There is no other slant that can be cheaply and as profusely as the sun flower. The day is undoubtedly fast approaching when it will be a food not unlike wheat, barley, rye, oats, corn or alfalfa, when used as silage. The Sugar Shortage It's pretty nearly time that some body put a curb on the outrageous prices of sugar. Depending on what part of the country you are in, you are paying anywhere from 22 to 30 cents a pound. And from the finan cial centers we hear talk of 35-cent sugar and even higher. We don't know how much beet su gar enters in this profiteering busi ness. We are pretty sure that the beet grower himself gets little more than his cost of raising beets; pretty sure because that's the fact with prac tically all aL'ru ulturu! products in this viiuir. lint we do r'now that the manipulators of the cane crop are the fellows who are putting tins burden on every num. woman and child in 1'ie I'nited States and the babies, too. The buyers of raw su gar ami t'.e rentiers are simply coin ing money. The profits on their wat ered common stock are enormous and are published with great glee in the financial papers. The refiners sell at large profits to wholesalers, many of whom hold the sugar in the warehouses and dole it out so that the demand shall be far greater than the supply all the time. we near of .';. moo tons in .ware houses in New York alone, or five pounds of sugar for every human be ing in the country. Isn't there some way to relieve the exasperated consumer also relieve the exasperated retailer, because on him, innocent as he is in the vast majority, falls the denunciations of the public. President Wilson virtually asked for the retirement of Senator Cham berlain. The members of his party voted overwhelmingly to retain the Senator. Johnson carried the state by a slim margin to be sure, yet it shows conclusively that there are a great number of Oregonians who do not favor a league of nations. Taken all the way through it would appear that President Wilson and some of his doctrine is not solid with the peo ple of this state. Yet McAdoo, Iwho assumes the leadership of Wilsonian policies, was accorded the full demo cratic vote. It's a complicated situ ation that will easily unravel itself next November.
