EAST OREGON1AN. ' rpHE resignation of an Oregon circuit judge, John C. Kendall, on the ground that salaries paid judges are too low is causing com ment. The salary paid to judges outside of Multnomah county is $4000 a year. One comment made is that there is an inconsistency about our salary schedules, it be ing pointed out for instance that while a circuit judge gets $4000 a year the director of fish hatch eries gets $4800. The explanation is that supply and demand has much to do with gets a salary of $4000 a year. It the main to technical men because good men with technical training plus executive ability are scarce. We have to pay good salaries or we do not get the services of such men. A competent director of fish hatcheries will earn a salary of $4800. The whole success of fish propagation may depend upon his ability and if so his services, meas ured in cold cash, may be worth ten times or a hundred times his salary. In one of our colleges a veteran teacher of English gets $3600 a year whereas many younger men doing technical work get much higher salaries. They command good pay for the simple reason their services are in demand and other states are willing to employ them at salary increases. The county agent of Umatilla county gets a salary ow $4000 a year. It is necessary to pay that to get the type of man needed, his predec essor was taken away by another state that offered a higher position at a larger salary. Several years ago one of the experiment station superintendents in Oregon was getting $3000 a year and the state of Pennsylvania offered him a po sition at a salary of $7,500. The answer is that good specialists are rare and their work so im portant from a production stand point that there is much bidding for their services. As to judges, their work is very important and high type men are needed. Yet many take the view that if we can get good men for $4000 a year why pay more ? The salary paid is not the only consid eration. Some lawyers like ju dicial work while others prefer to practice law. There are compen satory features in each case and nature takes its course. Accept ance of a judicial position is not compulsory. Meanwhile the taxpayer has in terests that deserve consideration. He also operates under the law of Songs of Plain Folks TorMother For Mother, flowers on Mother's Day; For Mother, red carnations gay; For Mother, phrases fine, but stay! What's that to Mother? Oh, surely what she really wants Is not the showy, tinseled vaunts But love that seeks its childhood Just love for Mother; Just love that says, "Oh Mother dear, What would we do without you here?" Just love with merry jests that cheer The heart of Mother. Mother, we give no studied praise, Such as some speak on Mother's Days. Our hearts are full of love that stays Your own, our Mother. W titer ft Ncwiptper Union, mi -ill,? is. y-yjfti; Br.Trank Crane . lsnil0Hie.il - DON'T GIVE UP. WHATEVER has happened to you, don't give up. Do not ad mit that circumstances are more powerful than you. Though your head be bloody it should not be bowed. You may have had financial losses and the accumulations of years may have been swept away, possibly by the treachery of some friend. What of it? Tighten your belt and go at it again. Your health may be impaired. What of it? Other people have had discouragements and have lived bravely through them. The world is full of unsung heroes who have met with reverses and yet keep up a brave front. Keep your flag flying. The bankrupt merchant or the dis illusioned youth may see no escape but suicide, but those who are wiser tackle the problem again. There is no great teaching that does not instruct us that we can rise upon our faulty past and climb the stairs to a finer future. No more damnable gospel was ever preached than that for you or any man or woman there is no hope. If you have sinned, if you have made mistakes, rise up! Shake off the psat and face the future. There is no man living but what has committed some errors. We can allow the burden of lige to plunge us into despair or we can shake it off and seek other fields. The world is wide and if there is any one thing that both religion and philosophy teach it is that we can rise upon the wreck of our dead selves and enjoy that which remains. You don't know what is around the corner and no man can tell what the future has in store for him. Be a thoroughbred and keep up your courage, even though the battle may be against you. Many a person has given up when success lay just ahead of him. If you can't do anything else, hold on. Believe in your self, believe in life, believe in your star. If none of these be liefs can be proved to be sound their effect upon your character at least is sound, and one who is dominated by a persistent be lief in his success is much more liable to have a sure hand and a good eye than the one who doubts himself. Some one has said that you are never going to succeed in life in anything, mental, moral or physical, until you have stricken from your hands and heart and brain the shackles of fear. What we want in this world is something to tone us up, to put us at our best, and fear is just the opposite of this. supply and demand and he is en titled to get all he can for his money. High Prices. I T IS now generally admitted that in the United States we are living in an era of high wages and general prosperity. . But the ca lamity howlers like to counter all references to the good times our working men are enjoying by stat ing that even if wages are higher the cost of living is rising just as fast and that the worker is there fore no better off than he was fifteen years ago. The economists who advocate the high wage system and the pro tective tariff system as the way to promote a nation's economic wel fare, say that even so, the high wage system is better for the rea son that first of all the American worker is a producer rather than a consumer in the final analysis, and that he is therefore better able to lay away an extra dollar for the rainy day in times of high wages, high prices and steady employ ment, than he is in an era of low wages, low prices and unstable employment. But it would seem now that even this last alibi of the increas ing cost of living is to be taken away from the pessimists. For according to the National Confer ence Board which has made an ex haustive study of the situation, while wages and costs are high the family income has increased fast fames Jhvis Haus haunts- 11 'iU . ' J.J1 - r&W. Bi I f ill 11 IrrT is. Vi'HI VI I er than the cost of living since 1914, and will therefore go one third farther in providing for the family than it would in the alleged good old days before the war. Here is something to think about, and it bears some assur ance for the future. As a matter of fact the purchasing power of the dollar has increased during the past two years. It now buys 61.1 per cent as much as it did in 1914, as compared with fifty per cent only a few years ago. But that is only half the story. The weekly earnings of wage workers, because of higher wages and steadier employment are more than twice as high as they were in 1914, so that the average worker, even with the higher cost of living, can buy a third more than he did in 1914. And the purchasing pow er of his wages is increasing rela tively and not decreasing. Here is the best answer possi ble to the low tariff, low wage, low cost of living advocates. Again it may be said that the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. Drunkenness and Aviation OREGONIAN. AN EXTRAORDINARY tragedy occurred in Washington some days ago, though soon its sort may not be unusual. Three passengers and the pilot fell to their death when an airplane plunged into a lake. The coroner's jury report ed that "the evidence shows the passengers in the plane to have been intoxicated." Fron this in toxication it is inferred, arose an indiscretion which resulted in the loss of four lives. The times are familiar with drunkenness in au tomobiles, and the sad conse quences thereof. It appears they must soon be as familiar with the penalties, of drunknness in air planes. Much of man's wisdom is fig- mentary, since he persists in error though instruction is all around him. It is necessary, because of this perilous asininity, to restrain us with laws lest we do an injury to ourselves and to another. How incongruous are the realization of the dream and the attitude of man. Men have for ages hungered to fly. But, having stricken off the shackles of the earth, they carry drunkenness into the clouds, and are terribly rebuked for the ef frontery. Great complaint is heard over the multiplicity of laws, an J it is said that we need no more than we have already or less. Yet it is evident that men are so foolish, in their wisdom, that the progress of the race calls constantly for new legal safeguards. Communities Develop. TUST as the country towns and smaller cities hold the prepon derance of newspaper circulation in the nation, so the thousands of smaller industries of these towns hold the preponderance of pay rolls and general production, ex cept in a few highly specialized industries, remarks Pantagraph, of Bloomington, Illinois. This remarkable industrial growth has taken place largely in the past twenty-five years, and has been concurrent with the far reaching development of electrical power and distribution. Large power plants at central points are linked to far remote places, to smaller towns and even to the open country regions. All this tends to result in men employed in industry being able more and more to find homes where they can have more of the comforts of life than they could in the congested cen ters of the great cities. Electric ity contributes to the recreational facilities of smaller communities, and tied up with the auto and ra dio, its younger brothers, provide all the advantages of the large city to the country dwellers. The industrial output of smaller cities and "country towns" is grad ually surpassing in volume the output of the great centers of pop lation. The Golden Harvest. TELEGRAM. W ITH 100,000,000 bushels of wheat ripe for the harvest and the promise of a price that means a profitable return to the grower, there is abundant pros pect of prosperity for the Pacific Northwest. Based on the present market the crop should bring in $130,000,000 and then allowing for later fluctuations after the flood of wheat begins to move, the amount will be well over $100, 000,000. That is a lot of money and it will arrive just at the place and time where it can do a lot of good to the Northwest country and to Portland which is the natural cen ter of its export trade. Nature has been good to us. June rains has plumped aut the grains until heavy heads top the wheat stalks. Scorching winds have not appeared to cook and shrivel the ripening kernels. Even light soils have borne heavily, and heavy soils have outdone them selves. Harvest is just beginning, and nothing short of an unprecedented disaster can prevent the gathering of a bumper crop, larger by mil lions of bushels than the North west has ever known. Reaping and winnowing the grain, getting it onto cars and steamers, making it into flour and breakfast foods all these mean employment for labor and much of the gold of the wheat will find its way into the wage envelope and thence to the sellers of all things the worker buys when he is busy and prosperous. All the Northwest shares with the grower the profit of this gen erous harvest and Portland bene fits with the rest. The clatter and whirr of the combined harvester will be trarrS lated into the rattle of the adding machine and the click of the cash register and everybody will be happy. Law of Creation. I T IS easy for the superstitious to imagine that "nature" or the "demons" or whatever they choose to blame, is working against this earth. There have been sunspots, a total eclipse of the sun, extraordinary weather all around the earth, floods, electrical storms, earthquakes. France and the British Isles within a few days had poured down upon them 100 000,000 tons of rain with terrific lightning and thunder. If the earth were as small as Noah thot it, and flat as he supposed it was the 100,000,000 tons of water would have called for another ark "If I ascend up into heaven thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou are there." Da vid wrote thus in the 139th Psalm and the latest earthquake news re' minds us that if we "take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea" we shall net escape the power that rules all creation. Three weeks ago there was an earthquake in Australia, the other side of the earth, "aggravated by loud explosions, buildings badly shaken." Last week earthquake news came from ancient Palestine a quake deadly in its effects, de structive to ancient buildings, hun dreds are dead, 109 killed within the Jerusalem area. Bedouins of the desert were terrified by earth movements lasting forty seconds, Some Christians will learn with dismay that the dome of the fa mous shrine containing the Sa vior's tomb was badly damaged That should not disturb them. On the contrary, it proves the laws governine the universe, including this tiny earth, work evenly, with out magic interference, every' where. The reason youth no longer re spects gray hairs is because most of them are dyed black. State agents, inspectors, check ers, special men are thick this year. A big crop of them. Inci- dently they are on the people's pay roll. Some of them appreciate this and conduct themselves ac cordingly while others step around like they owned the state and that folks lived here by some special permit. All of which is all right when one gets used to it. Some of them ought to carry a little sword. Canyon City Eagle. The man doesn't live who is disappointed in his obituary no tice.
