MORROW COCSITT OFFICIAL PAPER
The Election
The primary election has come and
gone and with it, as usual, goes the
political hopes and fondest aspira
tions of a lot of good citizens, but
poor runners in a race for public
office.
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.
