STEIWER of Pendleton is in the race for no.nination us United States Sen ator, having made announcement to that effect at Pendleton on Sat urday. His platform will appear at a later date. W . L. Thompson of Portland has pulled out of the race hut Mr. Shu'mway of Milton remains and will he in the running until the end of the campaign at rhe primaries. The chief contend ers, however, will now be Mr. Stanfield, present incumbent, and Mr. Steiwer. In his published statement, .Mr. Steiwer says: "1 have concluded that I will later become a candidate for the republican nomination as United States senator. 1 will then make a formal announcement and will publish the platform upon which my campaign will be made. "I will stand for governmental economy and a lessening of the burden of taxation. 1 expect to support the splendid administra tion of Calvin Coolidge. 1 want to aid m his fight for lower expen ditures of public money. "In my campaign I will give special emphasis to law enforce ment, including enforcement of the laws enacted pursuant to the 18th amendment. The real men ace to our government will not come from without, but will come from within if we permit a weak ness of moral fiibre and a loss of righteous patriotism in our own boundaries. Wholesome respect for fundamental law, together with a decent regard for public opinion by 'public officers, is one of the highest requirements of citizenship. These two points Mr. Steiwer touched upon in his announce ment, together with the items of Columbia river improvement and shipping, all of which, with many other points will no doubt be fully elaborated in the platform he will publish later. We shall await with interest the appearance of Mr. Steiwer s platform, feeling as we do that it will be a vigorous The Real Danger Our Own Apathy. THE statement has been made that American Politics will show a growth of communistic sentiment in the near future. No communist or socialist can present a program for govern ment which will compare with the one we now have. But if we sit idly by and fail to meet the ar guments of communists and so cialists, with facts which will puncture their visionary schemes, then the safety of our nation is at stake. If we minimize the in fluence of the agitator he gains strength merely because his state ments are not answered. Neither socialism nor commun ism can gain a lasting foothold in this country if we all do our duty in broadcasting a tenth part of the advantages under our present form of government, which has proven itself far superior to any plan yet offered that would change its basic principles Communism and Socialism ran only point to a long record of fail ures with resulting miserv to the deluded followers of such teach ings. Under no ether eovernmenf in the world have the masses of the people been given such equal op portunities as in America. With 10.437.605 electric lioht and power cvstomers, 15,000,000 automobiles, 14 000,000 tele- ploncs, 9,000,000 phonographs 3,00.000 radios, 1 10 000,000 Am ericans enjoy more of these mod ern conveniences than th? nen- pies of all other countries com- oine. wnat we consider neces sities are usually classed as lux uries by the rest of the world. It is not just by chance that America has such things in the largest quantities for common use. It is here and here only that the individual enjoys the greatest freedom for developing ideas, en ergy, ambition and initiative. The result has been a growth unprec edented in the world' history. The best program yet offered by Communist or Socialist leader nt only fails to add in any man ner to the advantages and free dom under which Americans have lived for seme hundred and fifty years, but it actually reduces in large measure the liberties and pro'ection guaranteed to rich and poor alike by our constitution. t vey citizen should know these farts and thousands of others like them. We should present them whenever possible to counteract spurious proposals which if not defeated can undermine the strongest governmental structure that exists today. . Revolutionizing Farm Pleasures. "rpHE United States is fairly ft. blanketed with radio service so that the farmer, anywhere and even-where, merely has to choose and tune in on what he likes best With superpower stations this will be increasingly true. After the dav s work, when the supper dishes are cleared awav the farmer and his family can gather around the open f.re in win ter and listen to the music of Grand Opera, conscious the while that the voice of the prima donna reaches them by radio before it is heard in the Diamond Horseshoe or in the back row of the orches tra circle, for such is the speed of radio as compared with the speed of sound waves. "1 believe that radio has great er application to the farm and to farm life than to any other phase of our national life. Gen. J. G. Harboard, president Radio Cor poration of America. HEPPNER business interests should have been more fully represented at the road meeting down at Pine City Sunday after noon. Other communities were well represented there, showing that they were interested in what might be going on. The extension of the Morrow county market road program is of vital interest to Heppner and no meeting of this sort should be overlooked.' In fact, the functioning of a live commercial club for this city would not be amiss, though we hate to suggest that any time be given over to an organization that might cause us to awake from our sleep and move out for broad er and better things for the city. Heppner is not altogether selfish ; we have no program that is cir cumscribed; no policy of promo tion that does not take in the en tire county to a very large degree, yet there is much that we can legitimately work for as a com munity, and this can be done in no better way than through the commercial organization. When other meetings like that of Sun day are announced, let the Hepp ner business forces be well rep resented. It will at least show that we are ready to cooperate in all good moves for the advance ment of the interests of the coun ty, and right now there is nothing biggar than the road program. rpHE Condon-Heppner football . game nere -aturaay was wit nessed by a commendable sized crowd. There was room in the stands for more fans, 'tis true, but there were enough there to show that the town had an interest in what was going on. And the crowd was not disappointed. The local boys put up a dandy scrap even though they, failed to win. Next Saturday our boys Journey to the far-off city of Bend. They are encouraged by their showing against Condon, but are expecting to go up against odds in the larger town which appear most formid able. They may not win. But in their willingness to play they are showing to the state at large that Heppner is on the map and not a piker either. More luck to our boys. Lexington 'has got together a town football team which they be lieve is pretty good. They want to know if Heppner thinks sh has anything better. It has been suggested that Thanksgiving or Armistice Day would be a good time to find out. TOM MURRAY, convicted mur derer, was given his sentence at Salem on Monday by Judge Kelly, the date for the hanging being set for Friday, December to. Murray s attorney, W. K. King, gives notice that he will ap peal to the supreme court, not asking for a new trial. The trial of Murray was for the murder of John Sweeney, prison guard, in the break of August 12, and his conviction and sentence has been speedy. Proportionately prompt action on the part of the supreme court will be gratifying to the peo ple of the state of Oregon. Mother and Daughter Set New Egg Record A 300-egg hen that is the daughter of a 300-egg hen hat just completed a record on the Oregon Agricultural College poultry farm. So far a known this ii the first time a 300- egg mother and daughter have been bred at an experiment station, and the second time the feat has ever been accomplished, the only other instance being on the Hollywood farm in Washington. The new record breaker Is a barred rock officially known as $778. She laid her first egg October 14, 1124, and her 308th October 13, 1925. making a total of 308 for the year. Her moth er laid 305 eggs iaj the 12-month per iod, while1 the sire was from a 277-egg dam. In four generations the pedi gree shows two 303-egg records.

'S RACE First Republican Aspirant to Announce Favors Reduced Costs. I. L. Patterson of Polk county is the first republican to signify his in tention of running for governor in the May, 19.6, primaries. For many years a fanner in the Willamette val ley, Mr. Patterson believea himself well versed in the needs of the farm ing class, and is launching his cam paign on an economy platform. His announcement denotes a careful study of the state governmental situation. and depicts some of its ills, for'which he offers remedies. Following is the statement of Mr. Patetrson'a candi dacy:' In announcing my candidacy for the nomination for Governor on the Republican ticket at the primary elec tion in May, 1926, I desire to call at tention to my business experience, in eluding my activity as a practical farmer for many years. In early life, I was engaged in the mercantile business, but am now, and for many years have been, conducting one of the most diversified farms i the Willamette valley. I understand and appreciate the many farm prob lems confronting the farmers of this State. I have had legislative experience as a member of the State Senate thru four regular and two special-sessions of the legislature, and believe I have a knowledge and grasp of State affairs that would enable me to be of service to the people of Oregon. I am going to make a vigorous, clean and constructive campaign for the Republican nomination on issues, saying nothing and doing nothing against another Republican candidate that could be used against him in event of his nomination; a campaign that will tend, as far. as possible, to unite the Republican party so that the nominee may have the entire par ty support, thus insuring his elec tion. Tax Reduction If elected to the office of Governor, it is my intention to bring about a reduction m taxes. I desire that this statement be un derstood to-mean precisely what it says. I make no gesture to give it enlarged or uncertain influence. I do not refer to one kind of taxes to the exclusion of other kinds of taxes. I shall never point to mere redistri bution of the present tax burdens as fulfillment of this pledge, although I believe that the tax burden should be readjusted, nor shall I ever offer as the fulfillment an expensive tempor ary expedient, such as postponement of immediate obligations or creation of a deficit to make superficial show of tax reduction. By reduction of taxes, I mean ex actly that which the people common ly understand reduction of taxes to be. I mean by it a reduction of the total sum derived by taxation from all sources. I mean, in short, -a reduc tion in the cost of Government. Budget As an earnest of my purpose to bring about reduction in taxes, I in vite a larger responsibility on the part of the Governor for the cost of State Government, I shall recommend an amendment to the State Budget Law, and by its terms the Governor shall prepare the general budget of State expenditures for submission to the legislature. Preparation of the budget is now in the hands of the State Board of Control. The State Board of Control is also one of our most important agencies for expen diture of public funds. I be) ieve the budget making power of the State or any subdivision of the State shoud be as far removed as pos sible from the spending power or body. I believe it is a right principle no matter how sincere, honest and in telligent the board or man clothed with dual authority may be. In our National Government, the President is the budget making of ficer. Likewise in many States of the Union, the Governor is the budget making ofhcial. I favor in this state making the governor the budget making officer. Under our law, the Governor has the power to veto any appopriation made by the legislature, or any single item in an appropriation bill. If given the power to make the bud get, the Governor would be solely re rponsible for State expenses and could not evade the responsibility. The only way he could be relieved of any part of it would be by the legis lature overriding his veto which re quires a two thirds vote of both houses. Penitentiary The State Penitentiary has .for years been used as a political foot ball for furthering the interests of politicians and political parties at the expense of the tax payers. Any de partment of the State, the employees of which hold positions by reason of political activity and contributions to campaign funds, and lose them by failure to qualify in this respect, in necessarily extravagant and ineffi cient. The net result is that the tax payer is actually paying the campaign expenses of candidates and party or ganisations. We have the example of the ap pointment of six wardens at the pen itentiary in a period of six years. No private business could prosper with annual changes of management, no matter how able the managers. No one can hope for any perman ent efficient, economical administra tion of the penitentiary under this system. For comparison, taka the State Hos pitals at Salem and Pendleton operat ed by the Bute Board of Control. There inmates are mentally deficient and yet the per capita eost at these institutions, from October 1, 1922, to September 30, 1324, was about $16.32 less per month than at the Peniten tiary where most of the inmates are able bodied. The per capita cost of caring for prisoners at the Penitentiary, as shown by reports of the warden for 1923 and 1924, was $33.15 per month, or more than the per capita cost of living of the average family in Ore gon. I favor placing the penitentiary un der the Board of Control, as it is the only State institution not now under the Hoard, to the end that the tenure of office at the penitentiary may de pend sololy on merit, as It does at other State institutions. That la the only way to remove it from politics. We caa then reduce the cost and hope in time to snake it self supporting. Also, I favor abolishing the Parole Board and placing the paroling of prisoners under the Board of Control, thus reducing, by one, the already too numerous State Boards. Further, I favor the Board of Con trol's acting in an advisory capacity to the Governor in the matter of par dona. Law Enforcement I believe in the impartial enforce ment of all laws, and, if elected, will work to that end, and wil appoint no man to enforce a law who ia not known to observe that law. There are many other matters of vital importance to the people of Oregon that I will discuss in a plat form to be issued at a later date. Mrs. R. H. Martin, mother, and Mrs. S. H. Heftier, sister, of Mrs. Chas. Glenn Smith, were week end visitors in Heppner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. They returned the first of the week to their home at Boise, Idaho. Mrs. Lillian Cochran returned the first of the week from a Red Cross convention held at Bend recently. She reports a wondorful time and a splendid convention of the Rer Cross nurses and chairmen of local organ izations. JAMES J.
