Wolf, Wolf, But It Was
A False Alarm No Fire
The ihepherd of old played an ex
ceedingly Rood Joke on the townspeople
by crying "Wolf, wolf, there are wolves
among my sheep." And he had the
lauKh on the foolish townspeople when
they arrived in the pasture, clubs In
hand, to find there were no wolves.
However, one day the wolves came, but
the people from town would be no long
er fooled, and the herder was out a few
perfectly good sheep.
These care-free Jokestcrs who find
delight In sounding the fire alarm
whenever the fancy strikes them are
enactlhg the old story "wolf, wolf In
a new way. Rut Heppner people can't
afford to take any chances. Past ex
perience has proven that. Such a mis
demeanor as sounding a false alarm
should be followed by the strong arm
of the law with a heavy penalty and
such an act as that perpetrated last
Tuesday morning would not soon be repeated.

THIS Ll Ml.
(Harvey's Weekly.)
There Is, we are told, a "slump" In
business. Prices have fallen and are
falling; the numbers of the unemploy
ed are Increasing; and there Is talk in
some quarters of hard times. There
fore some of our captious friends of
what Is presently to be the Opposition,
seeking solace for their election
smarts, exploit these things to the
n-th degree, and demand to know If
we regard them as satisfactory results
of the Republican victory, and if, in
case there had followed a Democratic
victory, we would not have charged
them to that party's account; to which
we cheerfully answer, both yes and no.
We have never been Inclined to at
tribute, as fully as some have done,
great economic changes to the partisan
results of elections, unless the elections
In question turned chiefly upon great
economic issues. For example. If the
tariff were the Issue, and the result of
the election meant a reversal of. policy
from protection to free trade or vice
versa, we should expect important eco
nomic effects, nut In the late cam
paign and election there was no such
dominant economic Issue, and there
fore we do not consider all the changes
which are now occurring or are likely
to occur as due In any way to the re
sult on November t
In one respect. Indeed, they may thus
be tatrlbuted : namely, the fall In
prices. That which is surely not to be
considered an unwelcome or undasir.
able change, may be in a measure due
to the Republican victory. That Is be
cause the coming of that party Into
complete control of the Government Is
recognlted to mean a change in fiscal
policy which will make an end of the
processes of inflation which have un
wisely prealled under the proscnt
Administration, and which will lead
directly to liquidation and to a return
to normal conditions. Anticipating
that, no doubt many business concerns
are making haste to "get In on the
ground floor" by being among the fore
most to get back to rational standards.
To that extent we are quite willing to
regard the "slump" as a satisfactory
result of the election.
Beyond that, however, thoughtful
men must realise thnt the present pro
cesses In business have or nothing to
do with the election, but are a part of
the natural and Inevitable progress of
events following the cataclysm of the
great war. There must be a reaction
from the Inflation, and, it Is unpleasant
to add, the profligacy, of war time.
That reaction will doubtless be marked
with a fall of prices, with lower wages
and with a docroased domand for some
forms of labor, and with an apparent
decline of prosperity, chiefly of the
profiteering type. It would have come,
soon or late, Just the same If the Dem
ocrats had won and if Mr. Cox had con
tinued Mr. Wilson's policy. We have
only to recall what hnppened at the
close of the Civil War. There was
groat Inflation, with high prices and
prosperity for a few years. In 1S72
Ornnt was re-elected and a continua
tion of his policy was assured. Yet
there followed one of the worst finan
cial crises and business dcprk.rons In
all our history. That was not because
of his re-election, but in spite of It, and
because of other Influences.
Bo It Is at the present time; though
we have no Idea that the "slump" Is
going to be anything tike as serious as
some are predicting. The decline Is
chiefly seen in quartors whore Inflation
was most marked. Many employees
are being thrown out In some quarters,
but there Is an ample demand for them
In others. There Is business depression
In some cases, but on the whole there
Is and will continue to he prosperity,
which will be all the more wholesome
and substantial because we shall have
got rid of the specious and spurious
prosperity of wartime profiteering and
Inflation.

Counties Exceed Quotas
In W. C. T. U. Home Drive
Portland. Ore, December 1. -Better
progress Is being made In every part
of lie state in the W. C. T. U. children's
farm home drive for $123,000. This Is
stiown In reports being received at
state headquarters during the past few
days from county chairmen who give
promise that their rull quotas will soon
be procured and over-subscribed.
Hood River county, with a quota of
700, had practically obtained this sum
during the opening day of the drive,
and a message received here today
from Leslie Butler, Hood River banker
and chairman of the county drive,
states that field workers have brought
ill a total of 1982.
With a total of 11000, the city of
Ashland bids fair to exceed this quota
by the end of the week. On the open
ing two days, field workers obtained
between $400 and $500, and found, that
people generally were In hearty sym
pathy with the movement to establish
a farm home for dependent and orphan
children.
"Although the campaign was a trifle
slow in getting under way in various
counties of the state. It Is now gaining
momentum and there Is no question In
my mind but that the full state quota
will be obtained,' was the assuring pre
diction of State Chairman John E.
Wheeler.
With the $125,000 fund assured, ar
rangements for the purchase and es
tablishment of a farm home In Benton
county will be completed, and the
home will be put in readiness for the
little waifs of Oregon early In the new
year.
TIIK HIGHWAY GRADE.
Last Monday the Independent report
er made a trip over the new highway
grading from lone to Jordan Biding In
company with Engineer Vinton. The
grading has been done in the best pos
sible manner, so far as the unprofes
sional eye can see. The grades are nil,
the drainage perfect, the roadbed sub
stantial and above high water mark.
The work reflects credit on Engineer
Vinton and Superintendent of Construc
tion Quale.
With the entire route from Heppner
to the Oilliam county line surfaced It
will be a pleasure to travel by auto.
moblle to Portland. While the con
summation of that event may be dis
tant Judging by the progress In which
the state highway commission moves,
it Is hoped the road will be completed
within a reasonable time before the
work so far done will be worn and
washed away. lone Independnet.
Mr. and Mrs. William Lewis of Ham
ilton brought their daughter Delia ove;
to Heppner last Saturday for surgical
