About Salaries.
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.

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.

- 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.

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

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,

The reason youth no longer re
spects gray hairs is because most
of them are dyed black.
State agents, inspectors, check

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
