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. If they
don't act, that is entirely another
matter,
This paper stands for clean gov
ernment. It stands for law enforce
ment. It Is against Idle scandal

What has become of A. 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.

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 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,
