Periods of readjustment, with their accompanying problems of un employment, show themselves in a de cline of commercial deposits and a slight change of savings deposits.

This aid la given on the pretense that it is in defense of the liberty of speech.

The committee, as ori ginally organized was composed of about 40 persons. The purpose of the meeting was to coordinate the various individuals and societies which were opposed to the activities of the United States government in connection with its prosecution of the war. The committee advocated resistence to the government in time of war. The upshot of this meeting was the or ganization of: The Conference for Democracy and Terms of Peace. This was for the purpose of assembling all the anti government groups. It called a con ference on May 30, 1917. At that time the United States had been at war for two months and the draft act had been enacted. At this con ference open, defiance of the govern, ment was urged, sedition was preach ed and it was decided to oppose the operation of the draft act and other war legislation. In order to carry out this program, the confernce re solved to organize: The People's Council: This body openly carried on anti-war and sedi tious propaganda throughout the dur ation of the war. Practically all those who are now imprisoned and whose release is being advocated by the Joint Amnesty Com mittee of the Civil Liberties Union are those who are convicted of sedi tion or espionage and sent to prison as the result of that conviction. Claire Walton and wife and daughters Irene and Alene are here from their home at Yakima Wash., enjoying a visit with the parents of Mrs. Walton, Mr. and Mrs. M.

Mr. and Mrs. Walton formerly resided here, but it has been several years since their last visit to Heppner. imchettes The Bad Citizenship of Good Citizens. The country is not suffering from bad citizens. No country ever suff ered from such. Our country is suff ering from the bad citizenship of good citizens. Communities, states, and nations have no better govern ment than the negligent citizen pro duces. The responsibility for bad government rests upon the negligent citizen, the absentee from the ballot box, and the man who is dodging his civic duty. The business man and the banker use every possible means to escape jury duty. They ars traitors to good government. You hesr busi ness and professional men say that they are not interested in politics. They are undesirable citizens. It is impossible for a taxpayer, a home owner, an honest man, to stay out of politics. Because of bis neglect to perform his duty, he increases the taxes of all the people. What is politics? It is the sci ence of government. The science of good government. Portland, Dec. 26. Reports receiv ed from representatvies of the Port land Chamber of Commerce engaged in raising, in this city, the sum of (300,000 to be used in a state wide development and advertising cam paign, indicate the intense interest that is being taken in the plan by business and professional men of Portland. Notwithstanding the ob stacles in the form of community chest affairs, the Astoria disaster and holiday activities, that have pre sented themselves since the drive started on December 15, more than one-third of the amount has been pledged. Without any doubt, cham ber officials assert, the remainder will be forthcomirj, and the organisation will be prepared to launch its project for the upbuilding of all of Oregon shortly after the first of the new year. . An interesting feature of the move ment so far has been the strong en dorsement by Portland's largest in dustrial and commercial institutions of the Chamber's determination to give all the aid possible to the devel opment of the state outside of Port land, the establishment of a coop erative marketing system whereby the producer may be able to sell his crop at a profit and the placing of the farmer on a better and more se cure footing. ' These business men realise that Portland cannot continue to prosper unless the entire state prospers," said O. W. Mielke, president of the Chamber of Commerce in commenting on this phase of the movement. "And it is with this thought uppermost in their minds that they are regarding their subscriptions in the nature of an investment in Oregon and the state's future. They know that some measures must be taken immediaate ly for the relief of the farmer. They believe that cooperative marketing Is a step in the right direction and they are backing their opinions with their money. They are going to furnish right here in the city the finances for carrying out the work. They are confident that the results will be so gratifying and so apparent that when the present campaign is ended, it will have been found necessary that the work should be continued on a mora extensive scale. We believe the in vestment will prove so profitable that there will be no difficulty In raising a much larger sum. We believe this movement will be a permanent one, although the present programme con siders a period of but two years. "The advertising feature of the plan is important as a means of at tracting tourists and others to the state, but the general belief among those who have studied the situation is that no time should be lost in get ting the farmers into a better posi tion." As an instance of the interest that is being taken in the movement, at tention is called to the larger sub scriptions made by Portland firms. They follow: Portland Clearing House Association, $30,000 Multno- mah Hotel, $3000; Fleishner Mayer A Co. $2400; Olds, Wortman & King Co, $2500; The Oregoman, $2400 Oregon Journal, $2400; Blake McFall by levMA MATTHEWS DtD. LLD. Then every man, woman, and child ought to be forced to study the science of government. And every man ought to be a practical, common sense, persistent, courag eous everlasting politician. When men get so pious, so good, and so busy that they cannot afford to per form their plain political and civic duties they become a curse to so ciety, a menace to government, a burden to the taxpayer and a blight on citizenship. The average non-active man is a consummate coward, and it is his infamous cowardice that has plunged this country into innumerable errors. Out of the cowardice of such men we have filled the legislatures and the Congress of the United States with spineless men; consequently, we legislate under the whip lash of a party master or we fail to legislate because of timidity and cowardice. The common public is unrepre sented and suffers untold burdens because of the bad citizenship of good citizens. have you A UITTLP HABIT IH SEND US ewe we'll print ir- KRM SENT THIS-" MY husband, at Pinner, pots HIS NAPKIN IN HrS POCKBT 0Y AUSTAK6 WHILE the gioeral ran of holidays Is merry m their way, there's aothin' quite to joyous as the good, old Christmas day.
