that it is their fair: that they are be

Yeon For Governor.
Talk of lohn B. Yeon for governor
has no basis in any possibility that
he would accept the honor. He
desires to devote a!! the tijie he can
spare from his private business to
his unpaid duties as state highway
commissioner. Or to express it bet
ter, he is willing to put in nearly all
his time as state highway commis
sioner and attend to his pressing pri
vate business affairs in between
times, but could not consider getting
into politics. Besides, he knows that
if he is mentioned in a political way
his unselfish activities as state high
way commissioner would be discount
ed. He doesn't want to be governor,
can't afford to be governor, and does
want to stick to the highway work for
the sake of doing that great work
well. While everyone who knows
Yeon well knows lie would make a
great governor, he is needed on the
highway job. Oregon Voter.

State Farm Bureau President
Would Develop Umatil
la Rapids.
Ceo. A. Man-field, state president
of the Farm Bureau, was an inter
ested visitor at the fair in Heppner
on Saturday, and the editor of this
paper enioved the privilege ot a con
verati"n with him on a number of
top:cs pertaining to the welfare of
the farmers of the state and of the
pur!e in general. One thing in par
ticular that Mr. Mansfield is interest
ed in. is the development of the hy-dro-tlectric
power project at Uma
tilla raH;!i in the Columbia river. In
this connection. Mr. Mansfield stated
that he had written an article to the
F:;sf Qresnr.ian at Pendleton and
.commended them for th good work
'thev are doing in behalf of this great
project, and gave some of his views
in regard thereto, upon which the E.
0. makes the following comment:
It is natural that the president of
the state farm bureau should believe
in the development of the Umatilla
rapids project and should have no
aversion to a-king government aid
for ch a project. The federal gov
ernment used its money by the mil-
eclaim waste and that is
producing alfalfa and other
in competition with the crops
grown on other sand, ine tarmers
of the west did not object to this
course. They placed the public good
above their private interests in the
matter. Thev took the position that
while more reclamation meant more
competition for them it also meant
greater development and settlement
and that from these things all people
gain.
The same principles apply to pow
er development. It is just as logical
for the government to help reclaim
waste water power as to reclaim
waste land, only more so. Mr. Mans
field is likewise correct m his posi
tion that regulation has not solved
the power question. Regulation may

Enforcement of Law Necessary
Speaking recently before a meet
ing of the American Bar Association,
Attorney General Daugherty said:
"Another subject that undermines
respect for law, especially prominent
at the present time, is an erroneous
theory of personal liberty under our
constitutional system. This contro
versy is as old as government itself.
It has been asserted with especial
vigor recently owing to the eighteen
th amendment to the Constitution of
the United States, and to the amend
ments in the various state constitu
tions, and because of legislation on
the same subject by Congress and
the various state legislatures.
"But, gentlemen, whatever be our
individual views as to the wisdom of
these constitutional provisions and
haws made thereunder in our federal
land state government restricting per
sonal liberty, the fact remains that
'they are on the statute books. They
ihave been regularly enacted and are
a part of constitutional and statutory
i law of the land.
! "From the standpoint of the gov
ernment, the only sound view is that
of law enforcement. Whatever dif
ferences of opinion exist in the views
as to the wisdom of some of these
i laws can be of no concern to the
