Prof. Irving Fisher, the Vale econ omist, and his followers insist that hen gold becomes plentiful, prices of commodities rise and speculation and inflation follow. Well, there has been a slight rise in prices since July 1, but nothing remarkable. And cer tainly speculation has been as dead as a last year's fly. So this gives the school of economists opposed to Fish er's views a chance for a glorious gloat. But perhaps Fisher is right, be cause the half billion of gold which has Roated to our shores in eight months has had no chance to show its speed. The Federal Reserve Banks have simply trapped it on its arrival and thrown it into their dun geonstheir vaults. None of the gold has been placed in circulation as money, nor used as the basis of expansion of notes or credits or loans. In other words, it can have had no more effect on business or prices than so much gold ore buried far beneath the surface of the ground. At present we are not saying that this treatment of real money is a good thing or a bad thing but that's what has happened to gold that im migrated to America in 1921. urarv lv doing as little as possible for as'velop this electric power project, let Some dav the common people of much money as possible, they began 'hem come forward.

We shall welcome the dav when Heppner's burned over district will be covered wth new residences and made beautiful again. Mrs. Shurte. our school superin tendent, is making up her program for the coming county teachers' in stitute to be held in Heppner on Oc tober 19, 20 and 21. Last year the institute was held in conjunction with Umatilla county at Pendleton, and to this arrangement there was some considerable objection on the part of Heppner people and of the county in genera!, they feeling that the institute really belonged to the county and should be held here. Yet on the other hand, there is very good argument for joining in with the oth er counties and being in position to secure the very best talent obtainable and making the institute more profit able and beneficial to the teachers. In the first place, we are inclined to the belief that our superintendent does not receive as much financial encouragement as she is entitled to. or the importance of the work de mands. It strikes us that when the county court is only willing to set aside an institute fund of $200 a year, they are taking a rather small view of the importance of the insti tute. A fund of at least $500 should be provided for this purpose if it is expected that the superintendent can get up a proper program and se cure talent that will make the insti tute of value to the teachers of the pam of are hand.

It takes a lot of time as well as heaps of money to construct good roads, and we should not expect them to be built in one or two short sea sons. Uur county can have no com plaint to make concerning the work being done by the state and this win ter will see the most of that work completed. In order to get some good roads it is necessary to put up with bad roads while the work is going on. Let us have patience. Labor Had Little to Celebrate Over.

At any rate we should spare our criticisms of the county superintendent if she is not able to give us for $200 a $500 in stitute: she certainly has some job when it comes to putting this over. 4 "Che-ka," the Black Horror. "Che-ka" is a name for the world to remember. It ic the name by which the ' Extraordinary Commission" is known in Ru';cia. "Che-ka" knows no law. no human mercy, no God in heaven and no devil in the universe except itself. Neither Lenin, nor Trotzky nor any othter body in Rus sia has power over "Che-ka." Its acts cf murderous ferocity cannot be questioned by anybody. Just now "Che-ka" is standing; wages provided the business iusti- Russian farmers up in rows and fies their continuance and the high shooting them down because they j wages really assure production in protest against the "requisitions" j stead of sabotage. The problem of that is, the seizure of the food they the average employer now is to keep have raised -seized to feed the loaf-i going and meet his payroll. With ing communists in the cities who 'diminished income and vanished work not and therefore have nothing j profits, he can not operate upon the to give in return for the farmers' ; prosperity basis of a few months ago. ' hard-earned crops. j Yet the walking delegate insists on. When wages were high and work plentiful, labor was most dissatisfied and permeated with unrest, and did least. Now that the change in con ditions voted for has been realized and normalcy is here, organized la-, bor displays little of the spirit neces sary for successful readjustment. ' Professional labor leaders pretend; to see in the financial depression only a capitalistic conspiracy to bring on hard times for the purpose of reducing wages and thereby in-; creasing profits. This theory is ab surd. Hard times are the result of economic conditions, the inevitable reaction from the destruction and waste of the war and the inflation and demoralization following. For, every dollar labor loses in idleness idle capital loses proportionately and the losses sustained can never be re couped. Everyone realizes that the higher ' wages are, the greater the prosperity of the nation and no one wants to cut he might have reached the mainland and he is still at large Who Shall Do It? The discussion of the Umatilla Rapids power project has aroused a storm of protest from various sour ces against the development of the project by government agencies on the ground that it is better to leave heir development to private capital. Those who oppose public ownership and development declare that our control of public utility corporations has proven so effective that we need not fear that they will not serve the public efficiently. But those who take an opposite view point out that the public is in constant conflict with public utility companies, and that when the control of great natural resources pass into the hands of private capital the peo ple are exploited to the highest de gree and that our most effective re gulative measures have failed to pro perly control them. It is also assert ed that these huge organizations of ten control the regulative bodies ra ther than the opposite.

Reasonably Priced THE GAZETTE-TIMES Pendleton had her usual big crowd at the Round-Up this year, but there was a general complaint on the part of merchants of that city that the people were' not spending any mon ey. It took about all the spare change to get them to Pendleton and home again, after having put up their ad niission fees to the Round-Up and Happy Canyon. Pendleton should be satisfied that she had such a good crowd this season, and it certainly attests the popularity of the big wild west show.
