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

Several new and modern resi

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

Morrow county's road building
plans are maturing slowly but surely,
and our people will have to be pa
tient. 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.

we appreciate the further fact that

"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-

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

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.

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
