ATION I " if , r r Defeat the Interest Bill. It seems incredible that any far mer, business man or worker could possibly cast a vote in favor of es tablishing maximum interest rates. If the proposed rate were lower that the market in the country (which is the case) every loan In Oregon and every mortgage would be at once called in, so that the mon ey could be invested in other states at the market price. If the proposed rate were higher than the market rate, borrowers would refuse to pay it and would do their borrowing in another state. Suppose this amendment should carry, what would happen. No pos sible power could save Oregon from financial ruin. Farmers would be un able to borrow finances to move their crops; business men would be unable to borrow for their business; existing loans would be recalled or not re newed, and if the borrower were un able to borrow money for their re quirements in other states, business houses, farmers, factories, manufac turers, stores and individuals re quiring money in their business would be forced into instant bank ruptcy. Beyond the sponsor of the bill, not a single organization of any kind has bee found to be in favor of it. By far the greater part of the funds loaned in Oregon comes from outside sources and outside banks. These would never consider loaning money in Oregon at four and five per cent when they could obtain a greater rate of interest in other states. No individual would accept an Or egon mortgage at five per cent when he could obtain eight per cent, or whatever the market rate might be in an other state. The financial well being of the State of Oregon calls for the defeat of the bill fixing the legal rate of in terest in this state. We are confi dent that thinking people will see the danger which lays in its passage. The Heppner Herald, another "in dependent newspaper," has gone democratic. The hangman's noose will soon be brought into use in Oregon, after a vacation of a few years. Emmett Bancroft, alias .Veil Hart, will be the first to pay the death penalty since capital punishment has been restored here. There has always been consid erable contention over capital punish ment, the prime argument against It being that an innocent man may suf fer. In the case of Hart, there is absolutely no doubt as to his guilt. Forfeiting his life as the murderer of Sheriff Taylor is the only way the law can be appeased. The people and the officers of Umatilla county are to be commended for the splendid way in which they handled Hart's case. HIb never would have reached the bar of justice In some sections where mob rule oftimes takes possession. Portland Journal had a first class editorial the other day. It quoted In full from the Oregonian. Oregon Voter. Every now and then we hear some one make such a statement as "if I was the editor I'd give 'em h 1." Or "believe me, if I was running a paper I'd tell 'em where to head in Maybe so, but just as long as we are running this paper we are going to conduct it in the manner we see fit. But that does not preclude anyone from expressing his views through the columns of The Gazette-Times, as long as those views are confined with in the limits of decency and do not malign other people or agitate the overthrow of the constitution. Just write your little piece and don't for get to sign your name, and the article will appear in this paper. Then again, w hy rant around mak Ing vague accusations about this, that and the other thing and wonder why the paper doesn't take it up and do something. We are not here to try cases, neither are we a detective agency for ferreting out crime. If you have the fads, give them to our officer" who are entrusted with the enforcement of our laws.

Mitchell Palmer, the man who, a few months ago, just previous to the democratic convention, was waging such a re lentless warfare against the profiteer. It is beginning to look very mufli like Oregon is going to send another republican senator back to Washing ton. This is only good judgment when viewed in the light of common sense. What profit would there be in re-electing a democrat to make for a possible- democratic majority In J congress and then place Mr. Harding, as president. Let's make it unanimous by electing Robert N. Stantield I nl ted Slates senator from Oregon. Thus far Mr. Cox's campaign has consisted chiefly of mud-slinging and harges of a slush fund. When he gets down to business and shows that he has some qualities of a states man, the people, we believe, may how him some consideration as a andidate to the high office to which he aspires. But not until then. The woolen goods manufacturers and more especially the president of one of the largest factories, is put ting out some bunk which may have a pleasing tone to some people but it won't set well with the woolgrowers. What the wool man wants is a fair price for his product and he would like to see a strong market establish ed at an early date. There will be a newspaper man oc cupying the chair of the chief execu tive of the nation in a few months, regardless of whether Senator Hard ing or Governor Cox is elected It will be a fine tribute to the journal istic profession. The local post of the American Le gion is going to put on a show dur ing the second week in October and we predict the boys will put on some thing lively. A big carnival and dance will feature the four days of the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. The af fair is given primarily to stir up in terest in the Legion and build up the membership. GETTING BEAdTfCR THE MAL FAIR Increased Interest Apparent In All Parts of.tha Northwest are not only educational, but they arouse interest and create an ambition and enthusiasm that makes their work a pleasure Instead of drudgery, and in spires them to persevere. "Every citizen engaged In any lint of Industry, whether farmer or manu facturer, or what not, will be benefited by becoming an exhibitor, lie will not only Inform his neighbors of his suc cess and prove himself worth while. but he will be studying the exhibits of all the others and profiting by their experiences. Every exhibitor ho con tributes to the display, the eulight nient and education of his neighbors, becomes thereby a better citizen, and his respect for himself and his busi ness will be enchauced in proportion. "This, in my opinion, is particularly true of the farmer. There is no place where a farmer and. his family can obtain more practical Ideus pertain ing to their work than at these annual fairs. They create a community spirit and stimulate the co-operative idea. "Iu short, I would say to all, be sure to attend one or more fairs this sea son, not only for pleasure, but for profit, rest, recreation, and as a pub lic duty. You will feel better for hav ing done so." I'hriMliui Science Services. Sundays, 11:00 a. m., I. O. O. F. Hall. Testimonial meetings, Wednesday evening, 8 o'clock, at Gone SlocUm residence.

"I have been looking into the Fair situation in pretty much all parts of the Northwest," said Mr. Win. Mo Murray, General Passenger Agent of the O.-W. R. & N. Company, when in town a day or two ago, "and as near as I can judge, all of them county, district and State will be much larger and better and a whole lot more in teresting this year than ever before. In fact, I have seen so much of what appeals to me as new life and new enthusiasm that I am imbued with a large share of it myself, and I feel like saying to every citizen that It is his duty to attend and participate, in the county fairs at least, and the larger ones if possible. "We are surely living In an age of Improvement, especially betterment of living conditions, and he who succeeds best, whether in commercial or agri cultural life, or indeed any line of business, should become familiar with the ideas and methods of those who are succeeding. I know of no place where it can be done to greater advan tage than at the Fair. "The farmer has the opportunity of comparing the various animals, grains, fruits and vegetables, and there is no better school in which to study meth ods of handling animals and crops nec essary to insure the best results. The merchant and manufacturer have the same Invaluable privilege, and they can get more real benefits from the exhibits of one good fair than they could from a year of travel and Investi gation. "One of the strongest educational features of all Fairs is the prominence now being given to boys' and girls' club work. Those exhibits of garden products, poultry, pigs, calves, school room work, or other line of Industry, When you are dry drink a bottle of Soda water from the Heppner Soda Works Made from pure spring water For Sale at Pastimes and Confectionery Stores 4 J.
