A STATF.MENT maae hv Har iri old Warner, district commit teeman of the Department of Or egon, American Lepon. at the conference here .Monday should he of interest to every citizen of Hcppncr. Mr. Warner said: "Taking into consideration the size of the town and the size of the post, the record of Heppner Post No. S7 in community ser vice work during the past year is the outstanding achievement of the entire Department of Ore gon." These words were not lightly spoken for .Mr. Warner knows whereof he speaks. Service to the community is the watchword of the American Le gion, and all over the United States that organization is found at the head of every piece of work looking to community advance ment. That Heppner Post is do ing its part in this work, and do ing it exceedingly well, is recog nized by the state officers, and it is only right that local recognition be given of this service. Heppner Post is small, yet it has to its credit achievements not equalled by many of the larger posts of the state. That this has been made possible by the coop eration of the citizens of the town is admitted, but the planning and carrying through of the many pro jects for community betterment have been done by the Legion boys, and to them belongs the credit for putting Heppner on the Legion map. not only of the state, but of the nation as well. Let us suggest that the people of this community get in closer touch with the local post of the American Legion. Thir aims and ideals are absolutely unselfish, and much good can be accomplished for the community by cooperation of the citizens with this organiza tion. S-S-S Russian Communist newspapers admit there are 50.000 children starving to death in Southern Rus sia. The land of the Bolshevist is going to be recognized on way or another. S-S-S TiHE meeting of the state high way commission the past week was one of note. That bodv let contracts and ordered work to be done on various highways which will call for the expenditure of about S6.000.000 in the coming two years. Provision way made for the closing of many gsps and the program is an extensive one, yet, in going down the list nothing is allowed for the completion of the Oregon-Washington highway between Lena and Vinson, a short sixteen miles, that will ina'-:e that highway of real value to the state and Morrow county. We wonder hy no action was taken by the commission on the proposition made them by our county court at the February meeting. Such prop osition was in writing and pre sented to the chairman -of th; commission with the understand ing that, while the commission would not be able to act in the matter at the current meeting, it 1-nt irri Hy fWwu-y popmv &oe M Sav uno rULIYO I MS WITH J I PLEAS6 CUT fT I 1 I KNOW J IN OUR vKm- J Vr1 WW TOWN (?) f M 1 fck( ' AUTOCASTER (fi II f II BOYS CONTEST I T' CAMS INTO I HAS THAT N .BULLETIN Vjy V6ALPHEA0EO ?J TwT?H VTrJ BLL BVS E X.

SO 1 be 0 THE people of Oregon can corrupted, can they? All that is necessary to carry a vicious measure is to spend some $75,000 or Si 00,000 in a campaign is it f The voters of Oregon haven't intelligence or self-respect enough to vote, down a wrongful bill if $100,000 is spent in a campaign is that the truth? According to Portland Journal, the people of our fair state are so ignorant, so lick-spittle, that they can be stampeded like a lot of silly sheep by spending enough money in a campaign. "O ye of little faith!" All that a vigorous campaign will do is to arouse public atten tion. The campaign will not make up the people's minds for them. The voters w ill do their own think ing, thank you. If the campaign is a big one, conducted with pep, it will make the issue the principal subject talked about before the election. It will be in everyone's mind as the big question to be settled. Given a strong campaign, the people can detect selfishness, greed and hypocrisy if those evil motives are behind the Dennis resolution or any other measure. The more money spent, the quick er the people will detect the real motive. They will rebuke self ishness, greed and hypocrisy by overwhelming majorities at the polls. But if they find that the motive behind the Dennis resolution is a sincere effort to make a big and prosperous state out of Oregon, and conclude that its ratification will help bring about that desir able end, they will vote for it. The Journats hysterical shriek ing about a huge campaign fund for the Dennis resolution is an in sult to- the character and intelli gence of the Oregon electorate. S-S-S A husband's definition for a wife should be "A woman to whom I may be as rude as I wish, without being compelled to apol ogize." S-S-S . The Officer Also Has Some Rights. East Oregonian. PORTLAND newspapers have overworked their criticism of aw enforcement officers because of a blunder by one policeman. .Mistakes of that sort are unavoid able at times but they can be dealt with without upsetting the whole law enforcement program and without making bootleggers and moonshiners think they are op pressed heroes whose names be lone in the Hall of Fame. The, task of enforcing the liquor law is not an easy one. There are vicious, selfish, desperate men en gaged in the illicit traffic. Quite often they are ready to rob and slug; at times they do not hesitate at murder. Officers know this and they plan accordingly. They are justified in doing so. They are right in safeguarding them selves when possible. The officer has some rights of his own that deserve respect. They are right in securing information by such mehtods as are open to them. They do the same. with bank rob- jbers and no one complains. Why put the bootlegger on a pedestal ? If newspapers persist in brand ing as stool pigeons and outcasts every man or woman who does detective work or otherwise aids in tracing law violations, the net result will be security for bootleg gers, but not for the public. If we want me law enforced, give the officers a chance and back them up without quibble or cam ouflage. If we don't want the law enforced, repeal it. The fact the dry law cannot be repealed and that each legislature makes penalties for violations more severe indicates general ap proval of the prohibition regime. It means that the people are glad to be rid of the old saloons and took upon booze as a vice and not a virtue. Such being the case, the obvious thing is to enforce the law and do so without fear or favor. When violations of the law occur or there is suspicion to that effect the so-called prominent or re spectable home is no different from any other home. The law makes no distinction between rich man and poor man, between the influential and the every-day cit izen of humble ways. An officer should know his business and act with proper courtesy and discre tion. The same obligation is up on the citizen and that obligation rests upon the influential man as well as the man who may live in a tent or a two-room hut. There are some influential people who do not know this but that is their mis take. There are people in Port land and elsewhere who think they live in a charmed circle and that an officer who looks at them should be shot at sunrise. They should get over that impression. It is based upon ignorance and a snobbishness not in accord with the ideals of our republic. If we do not want the bootleg ger with his graveyard juice and his gunman methods to override the expressed will of the people we should give officers the air to which they are entitled. They should not be hampered and har rassed at every turn but encour aged to enforce the law without toadyism and without danger of reprisals by parties who may have or think they have influence. In this connection a very real obligation rests upon the press. We should meet that obligation in straightforward American fashion or get off the track. S-S-S What has happened to the girl who used to say, "Mamma, have I got too much powder on" and "Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine?" S-S-S Our Washington Letter N. P. 8. WASHINTON, D. CH MARCH 31. President Coolidge and Secretary of Agriculture Jardine are determined that sensible recommendations for legislation to aid the farmer shall be presented to the next congress. Neither the President nor the Secre tary of Agriculture have, for ah in stant, any notion that the mere enact ment of a certain law will eure any legislative ill that may confront the agricultural industry of the nation. Both the President and the Secretary desire that form of legislation that will permit the farmer to get reason able credit on sound security when it is necessary. They desire to aid in the working out of a plan that will permit him to place his products on the market in such s manner as to put him on a par with other business men. In the opinion of the Secretary of Agriculture the farmer's is a vastly complex business, and one that needs improved marketing methods. As Secretary Jardine says in an article in "The Nation's Business," "What we all need to do is to talk less tom my rot and throw fewer monkey wrenches into other people s machin ery." , As Jardine puts it, "Quantity and quality are the two things J that count' in the farm business, as in any other, and profitable production "does n't He in producing at the lowest pos sible cot per acre.' but in producing 'in such a way ma to five the bigge&t ! margin between the production cost j per acre and the wiling price per1 acre.' The problem ia just a business matter, and the fanner tt working it out on his own farm." JUST before Vice-President Charles J G. Pawes left Washington for his home in Evanston, Illinois, be made the statement that ho would deliver a number of speeches touching upon the necessity of doing away with the right to filibuster In the senate. He stated that in the addresses he would make he would not handle the matter in anything but a non-partisan man ner. It was a subject, he contended, that should be placed high above par ty politics. General Dawes, in making these trips, does so as the result not only of his desire to place the- matter squarely before the people of the country, but also in response to liter ally hundreds of letters and telegrams received by him, asking that he ap pear in the several cities and towns and give his views on this question. WHILE the balance of the nation is enjoying prosperity and, in many instances, also participating in the slight drop in the cost of living, Washington is still paying as much, if not more, for clothes to wear and things to eat than they did a year ago. It is true that the prices that prevailed in Washington during the war period were higher than they are now, but not very much. Rents for a long time past have been in the same class as a high-flying airplane, namely, "way up." Apartments that, in many cities, would probably rent for $75.00 a month, here eost $150.00, or more generally more. Prices on food products are much higher than they should be. The quality of vege tables, fruits, etc., ia not up to the standard set in thousands of other Amreican villages, towns and cities. Washington is not a cheap place in which to live. WHEN Congress again convenes the senate will be faced with a long calendar of legislative business: three of the most highly controversial ques tions will be that of America's adher ence to the world eourt, the Muscle Shoals project and a measure that will tend to make for the downward revision of federal taxes. While the subjects just mentioned may be listed as the more important ones, there are other problems that will confront the law makers when they again go into session. For instance, gasotine prices, disposition of the Lausanne treaty, the restoration of commercial rela tions between the United States and Turkey. Then there will be the mat ter, of naming a member of the In terstate Commerce Commission, for it fill be recalled that Thos. L. Wood lock of New York was named as a democratic member, as required by law, but the democrats "smothered" his confirmation, both in the 68th senate and in the special session, casting aside his fitness for the po sition because, as the democrats claimed, it would deprive the South of its traditional representation on the Interstate Commerce Commission. It will be recalled that last yee.r Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon advocated a further reduction in surtaxes which, put into everyday language, means the releasing of more capital for various enterprises, thus providing work for a greater number of citizens of the country. This was beaten by the democrats in the House, and it ia more than prob able that the democrats both in the house and senate, unwilling because of partisan stubbornness to yield, will make strenuous efforts to again beat the plan. It is hoped, however, that the summer calm, and the fact th the voters throughout the country may drop a hint to stubborn, repre sentatives and senators that the good of the country comes befroe partisan politics, may have, to a degree at least, a salutary effect upon (he law makers. UNTIL a short time ago one of the most popular forms of sport was to harrass the railroads. It is true that, in many instances, the railroads did not always act like good children are supposed to behave, but during latter years there has been a mani fest desire on the part of the carriers of the country to be of real assist ance to the people of the nation, to cooperate in every way, to get the produce of the farmers to the market, to get the manufactured articles of the mills to their point of distribu tion, and to provide better service all around. During the last two sessions of congress there has been a decided sentiment in favor of the consolida tion of many of the railroads. This sentiment has been caused by the recognition that the prosperity of, the railroads is a material and very nec essary element in the prosperity of the nation, so congress is getting to the point where they are willing to help by practical legislation to aid the railraods, if the railroads will in turn aid the people. President Coolidge, Chairman Wat son of the Interstate Commerce Com mittee of the senate, and the Inter state Commerce Commission, are all intensely interested in seeing that the people of the country are given ade quate transportation facilities. The entire question is one that will be carefully studied by the President and the others interested in the sub ject during the recess of congress. Wheat. (Morrow County Extension Service Newt.) Revision! In estimates of winter wheat acreage in tome of the Euro pean countries, together with a new estimate for Esthoniat bring the total wheat area of 16 countries reported to date up to 124,465,000 acres as com pared with 120,748,000 acres for the same countries last year, an increase of 4,281,000 acres or 3 per cent. The increase this year is due mostly to the larger acreage reported in the United States, . India, France and Italy which more than compensates for the small reductions in some of the other countries of less Import ance. The largest Northern Hemis phere producers outside of Russia for which estimate! are still lacking are Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, and the countries of -Northern Africa, Recent rains have benefitted crops in Rumania and conditions are favor able in Bulgaria. Rainfall in Mor occo has brought Improvement there, but more is needed in Algeria where only light rains are reported. Strong, dry winds In India have been unfavor able to the wheat crop now nearlng maturity. 1J. 8. D. A. LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION. Department of the Interior, U, 8.
