"POMONA GRANGE of Grant county will hold a joint ses sion with Pomona Grange of Mor row county at Parker's Mill on July 4. There is to be a three day celebration, but one day of this will be given over to the work of the grange. A question to be brought forward at the meeting is a road from Monument direct to Heppner. We understand that this has been a question before the local grange at Monument for some time, arid it is now being taken up by the Pomona grange and they are getting behind the movement to put it over. In view of this, we suggest that some of the business men of Heppner make it a point to be at Parker's Mill on the 4th and "lis ten in" on this discussion; it may prove of extreme interest to them. In order that our folks may know what the people of Northern Grant think of this situation, we append herewith a statement from Long Creek Ranger in which di rect reference is made to the road from" Long Creek to Hepp ner. The article is from J. T. Rue who, after making announcement of the joint meeting of the Grant and Morrow Pomona Granges, says: The farmers of Northern Grant are perhaps in need of a road from Long Creek, through Hamilton, Monument, Hardman and on to the railroad at Heppner more than any other thing today. The commercial interests of our state seem to think that tourist travel is the thing we want; but if the farmers are taxed to build roads, our interests must be taken into consideration. The people' of North Grant must pass through Monument on their way to market and when they are about twice as far from Condon as from Heppner. With this being true the road passing through the towns f spoken of above would save them half their travel costs and half their time. The Heppner route has been, is now, and always will be the natural market route for the people of North Graut. I, as Po mona lecturer of Grant county, ex tend to the people of Grant and Morrow counties who are interested in this road, to meet at Parker's Mill and discuss the proposition. This is a chance to get under way a road proposition that has long been recognized by the busi ness interests of Heppner as one of the best outlets for the trade of Northern Grant county. As Mr. Rue states, Heppner is their nat ural trading point, and it is now time that our business men get in and show these people that we are ready to cooperate and work with them in putting the road over. Songs of Plain Folks "qumingOutTime Turning-out time was at sundown When my father's walking-plow Used to lay its perfect furrow (Comes a little sooner now). I would race, barefoot, to meet him; He'd come whistling o'er the hill. Turning-out time was a blessing And it is a blessing still. When, with meadow lark a-singing And the grass blades bent with AnH ha vp nlnwed r.h whole rlav When the new-turned swath is wider Than I'd thought that it would be, Then its more than merely quitting Turning-out time means to me. Turning-out time, rich with fragrance Of the fresh soil roundabout, Finds me hungry, tired and happy; And I'm thinking, turning out, Of the smiling pal to greet me Where her tempting supper waits, Of the boy who 11 run to meet me And to onen ud the trates! - . tA. X'K 'I 5? mi ,wmffl5ElE!ttifl i' V BtFraak Crane Says OUR NATIONAL DUTY IS OBVIOUS A RECENT report to Congress for an appropriation for the In terior Department included some $750,000 for a dam in Arizona and some $2,500,000 for road construction, with other items of a similar character. This is proper business for a government. It does not pay for a government to be paternal and to foster certain special interests, but it does pay for a government to engage in public works, the benefit of which shall accrue generally to the people. When the Lord made Adam and Eve it is said that he put them in the garden in order to tend and keep it. Man's work ever since upon this earth has been in improving upon natural conditions of nature. He is to reclaim deserts, improve rivers, perfect harbors and make tunnels, etc., so that the earth will be a fitter place in which to live. It is this kind of work in which the army should be engaged. In other words, be put upon constructive labor as well as to be kept in readiness for destructive operations. Such a program might well call for the services of every boy and girl at some time in their lives, say from the years of 20 to 22, when they would be required to give their services to the government. Everybody ought to be made to realize that the nation is greater than the individual and has prior claims upon a man, claims that come before his individual needs. This would maintain an immense army of constructive work ers who could be changed in a moment's notice to an army of defense against an enemy. If this plan were adopted I should be in favor of compulsory military training and in compelling boys and girls to be trained not alone in the bearing of arms, but compelling them at certain periods in their lives to work for the government. The United States has vast stretches of land which need im provements. Much of the West is barren and needs only the proper use of its water courses in order to water it. Arizona might be as rich as Egypt if it were properly watered. The use of the natural supply of power that is found in fall ing waters opens up tremendous vistas and in the application of this our youth might well be employed. The making of good roads also is a contribution to the per manent welfare of our nation. Roads need to be constantly worked upon and new roads need to be built. Altogether it is quite proper for a government to go into the business of improving the natural resources of the nation. Principle vs. Economy Wallowa Sun. A FTER jousting so valiantly but ineffectually for a state in come tax under the delusion that it is the only remedy for an al leged financial predicament into which the state is mired, the Ore gonian seems to be awakening to its Don Quixotic impulses and the fact that the taxpayers of Oregon are in no mood for providing more money for state officials to spend, even if it is necessary to sacrifice such an excellent principle as the income tax. In a mournful and melancholy strain, as it sees its noble heritage of prestige and in fluence waning, withering and dy ing under the scornful rays of public condemnation for its mis erable flop on the income tax ques tion, it sadly editorializes thusly: "But we find ourselves wondering whether we shall ever again be so enthusiastic for an income tax as we are or have persuaded our selves that we are at this mo ment?" So far as The Sun is con cerned the answer to the question is simple, in view of the stand the Oregonian made on the income tax when Pierce, democrat, was for it, and now when Patterson, republican, is for it. In spite of its protestations, the Oregonian can make no one believe it does not regard it as a partisan issue. The real issue, however, is wheth er the income tax principle is ( c. dew, through. a fi t wtsisrn newtpsptr union, iyz7 1 " egJ more to be considered than the necessity for economy. There can be no denial on the part of any one, the Oregonian not excepted, that the income tax to be voted on at the special election June 28, is purely and simply an ADDED tax. It merely provides more money to spend. Yes, that is all MORE MONEY TO SPEND Are you willing to dig and scrape to make both ends of your family requirements meet in order to pro vide our state officials with more money to spend? We are not. The more they get, the more they will want. We shall vote NO. BIDS WANTED.
