I1N . l.OP . .M MMMOW OOl'VTT official PAPER Tlifc AMERICAN I'Rt&S ASSOCIATION Leave it to the People. The Spectator. ' SOME cf the newspapers and many of the politicians op posed to the proposed amendment to the direct primary bill seem to miss the point of the measure sub mitted to the legislature by A. L. Mills. .Mr. Mills shares the rather general opinion that the direct pri mary does not give us the very best method of nominating candi dates for public office. Surely, if i better plan of nominations can be devised, it should be given a trial at the very least, be sub mitted to the judgment of the peo ple. This is the desire of Mr. Mills and the many others who have studied his proposed amend ment The amendment is one in which the people of Oregon are vitally interested! they have found that the promises made for the direct primary have not been, and can not fce, kept. In the multiplicity of self-starting candidates, a ma jority vote is impossible, and the geople find that the successful aspirants are not infrequently those who have been backed by stealthy, masked and selfish in terests. The people have had forced on them the conviction that a system that permits nominations by a mere 25 or 30 per cent of the total vote cast is not in har mony with the principles of ma jority rule and representative gov ernment. It is the purpose of those who favor the adoption of; the amendment to offer it to the people for their approval or rejec tion. That is fair enough. What honest objection can the opposing newspapers and politicians have to it? Can't they trust the people, whose perspicacity ;hey praise so highly, to pass judgment on the amendment? If the people are as wise as the incense-swinging newspapers and politcians swear they are, surely they should be permitted to discuss, analyze and vote on this amendment for them selves. It can't be possible that the newspapers and politicians, who mars in the county who are still of the opinion that reseedinj is not necessary, but tbe fact seems ta be that, as the weather continues warm, more and more of the gra;n is found to be dead. Dry rot is setting in and in many fields that gave promise of live grain noth ing appears left. It mould be well for the majority to plan to get new seed in the ground just as fast as the eather conditions will permit. s-s-s IN ANOTHER column will be found an article that deals with what is called the Pendleton Prineville cutoff. A map also ac companies the article and by look ing this over it can be quickly seen that the proposed road is of great value to both Morrow and Wheel er counties, and would become an important link in the state sys tem of highways. We understand that there is to be some, action taken before the present session of the legislature looking to the placing of this road on the pro gram of the state highway com mission in other words, getting it on the map. There is no doubt whatever that it would serve a very important part of the two counties, and help many people who are now isolated to get onto the main highways and ultimately become a great factor in the de velopment of a lot of good terri tory. YAe hope to see just such action taken as will bring about the desired result. Look over the map and see how it shows up. S-S-S May we hope that the present weather will be our portion for the next few weeks. It will help wondrfully in the task of reseed ing the grain fields. Nothing bet ter than what we have now could be asked for or expected. S-S-S MAKING out his federal in come tax return, the farmer is required to report as gross income all receipts derived from the sale or exchange of farm products, in cluding crops and livestock, whether produced on the farm or purchased and resold. Where farm produce is exchanged for r A CO training of our boy and girls net an economic problem, and is the neglect of teacher training not an actual economic loss? There is a lot of bunk being required of teachers during their training in normals and education courses, but the bunk is support ed by good, sound training. The bunk part of courses is an educa tional fad at this time, and could not be loosed from its hold upon present day educators. It will pass like the other fads of educa tion have passed since the time of Socrates, and the only harm it can do is to usurp valuable time. But that is another subject. The supply of well trained teachers has never equalled the demand. Hundreds of men and women are teaching school in Or egon who have no business in the schoolroom. When voune men and young women of the com monwealth are willing to make the sacrifice demanded of a school teacher, they should be supported to the limit by the state. Any teaches, generally speak ing, is improved in capability and efficiency by normal and educa tional training. Teaching school is a specialized business and re quires specialized training. On top of this, the teacher is called upon, more than anyone outside of a newspaper office, for general education and a broad, balanced mind of a thinking capacity. Dollars and cents invested in adequate equipment for the state normal school are an economical sound investment in the future of Oregon and the west. Teacher training can be secured elsewhere in the state on a good basis, but there is a place for the state nor mal and the Monmouth institution is more than filling its place. It is overflowing. Let's give it the place into which it has grown. S-S-S The general freezing out of the grain in Morrow county is a hard blow to the wheat producers. Es pecially is this so following the poor yield of last year. Hwever, it is demonstrating the kind of stuff the most of our farming com munity is composed of. They are going right at the job of getting groceries, merchandise or other more seed in the ground and look- articles, the fair market value of the articles received must be re- ported as income. A farmer who rents his farm on the crop-share basis must report such income for the year in which the crops are sold. Profits derived from the sale or rental of farm lands must be reported. In computing his in come tax he may deduct all the amounts paid in producing, har vesting, and marketing of crops, including labor, cost of seed and fertilizer used, cost of minor re pairs to farm buildings (other than the dwelling), cost of repairs to fences and machinery and the cost of small tools used up in the ing forward to fairly good yields the coming fall. There is nothing to do but reseed, and this will be done. S-S-S Our Washington Letter N. P. S. are ever declaring their amazed course of the year such as Pitch admiration and passionate love for the dear people, have been all the while merely spoofing them? And yet it looks like it, for when it is proposed that the people should have their say on a matter cf the deepest interest to them the loudly adoring newspapers and vociferously worshipping politi cians tell them the subject is too deep for their understanding and too important for their determin ation. The people adopted the direct primary law, with which they are not fully satisfied. There is of fered an amendment designed to . correct some of the abuses of which the people complain. In the name of honesty and common sense, what good reason can be offered for refusal to permit the people to say with their votes whether or not this amendment is the one they want? S-S-S ' There mav be numbers of far- forks, handrakes, hoes, axes, etc S-S-S The State Normal Situation. Benton Independent. THAT the Monmouth normal school has outgrown itself is an admitted fact by everyone, yet there are opponents to an exten sion of the school's equipment through legislative appropriation. How can such an attitude be jus tified when we are spending mil lions of public money for scenic roadways and pavements for tour ists? The roadways and pavements are essential. There is no doubt about that, and the Independent is for the road program of the state highway commission. They are of commercial importance there is the difference. Are we so en grossed in commercialism that we can fail to see the actual need of the training of our youth? Is the Washington, D. C, Jan. 28. The right of the fanner and manufacturer in the middU west to make the near est and most convenient port for their export business free of any rate dis crimination has been recognized in a bill introduced by Senator William t. Butler, of Massachusetts, chair man of the Republican National Com mittee. In this measure it is provid ed that the railroads without discrim ination can only charge the lowest established rate to all ports on the seaboard also provides that the steamship lines will have to pursue a similar course. For years farmers and manufacturers in the great in terior portions of the country have in many cases been obliged to ship their products to inconvenient ports because of the rates. Ostensibly the rates were lower than what they would secure by reaching their near est and most logical port. When they have protested the inequality of rat? they were obliged to accept for their shipments tbey were met with the in formation that this was necessary be cause of the law of "differentials," a phrase impressive and confusing to the average mind. As a result we have had congestion at certain ports created by the lower differential ar rangement with consequent increase of the storage and wharfage charges. The Butler bill recognizes, to put it broadly, that we have two great sea boards and that' the farmer and the manufacturer is entitled to ship to and from the nearest and most con venient port and on a rate basis which gives him a parity of rates with other shippers no matter where located. Certain now favored porta will pro test; that is to be expected, but the Butler theory fc is that the United States Is a great unit and tha all the people arc entitled to trade on j an equal basis. j President Coolidge't tribute to the American newspaper which he deliv ered at the dinner of the American Society of Newspaper Editors was a sincere recognition of the services which newspapers are giving to the nation as a whole. American newspa pers, the President said, are particu larly representative of the practical idealUra of our people. They are the best newspapers in the world. They print more real news and more re liable and characteristic newt than any other newspapers. Then with a fin appreciation of the struggles for excellence and fairness which daily and weekly goes on in the editorial offices of all the papers great and small throughout the union, he said: I believe their editorial opinions are less colored in influence by mere par tisanship or selrish interest, than are those of any other country. More over, I believe that our American press is more independent, more re liable and less partisan today than at any other time in its history." This is a tribute so well deserved that there is not a newspaper in the country no matter how humble its circumstances but what is justified in carrying these words of the President upon their editorial page, not boast ingly, but as an honest SDoreciation from him of the sacrifices that they are always making for the good of the community and the nation at large. The dignified yet constant reitera tion on the part of President Cool idgc that the debts oed to tho Uni ted States by foreign nations mu.it be paid and cannot be cancelled, is mak ing its impression in all foreign can itals. The President in so stating tne American case is standing upon a nrm iounoauon. lor this same thought is imbedded in the platform of the republican party adopted at its national convention in Cleveland The attitude of the United States is not merely that of a creditor na tion which with a sheriff at hand is demanding that a forced sale be con ducted in order that the money due may be paid, but rather a nation which, in the case of France, is de manding that a fair acknowledgement of the debt be made and that a dis position and willingness to pay be put upon the record. Even in this the American attitude is not based alone on the desire to secure a return of money honestly loaned, but back of it is a feeling that the rebuilding of Europe can only be successfully ac complished if the moral stamina of the people is sustained. That any American course which would allow the French peoplel to ignore the debts would work for their moral weaken ing and would militate against the upbuilding which we all consider as important for the good of the world. French officials are apparently en gadeg in a fishing expedition in the hopes of establishing for their own satisfaction how far they can go in delaying recognition of the debt and payments. The French people of themselves, however, are ready to recognize their obligations. There are some of our own people enthused over the prosperity of our nation and the surplusses in the national Treas ury, who have discussed cancellation of the French debt as a happy and incidental, solution of the relations between the two countries, but a debt is a debt, and if the debtor nation ignores or is forgiven its obligation the Treasury balance of the United States can only be reimbursed in one way, namely, by the imposition of additional taxation on our own peo ple, that must not be frogotten, 02017. for KEH NEH, Section 50, Township 1 South, Range 7 East, Williamettt Meridian, haa filed notice of intention to make final Proof, to establish claim to the land above) des cribed, before United States Commis sioner, at Heppner, Oregon, on the :0th day of February, 1925.

Government operation of American railways has ceased. The books have been closed and the American people, in taxes alone, have paid 'substantially one and three-quarters billions of dollars for the experiment. The ad ditional costs which the travelers and shippers of America were obliged to meet because of indifferent service and extraordinarily high rates can hardly be estimated. It can be fairly said that this additional burden will come near equalling the actual total of American dollars paid out by the government, which the taxpayers had to meet. resident Looiide in announcing the dissolution of the governmental war-time operation organization did not attempt to conceal his satisfac tion at being able to relieve the American people of this extraordinary burden. Staggering as these totals are the one element of satisfaction is that happily we only embarked on governmental operation. Had we been driven into government ownership, which was the real aim of many peo ple at the time, the total toss of the people's money would have been many times over the present figure, im pressive as that is, A study of the costs of this most unfortunate exper iment, not only in money values, but in efficiency, should serve to check the gentlemen who, devoid of any personal responsibility, have been preaching governmental operation of public utilities as the one sure way to secure the miltemium for Amen can citizens.
