ACCORDING to preliminary estimates, Morrow county will have a total of 2,654,800 bu shels of erain as a result of the 1927 harvest. The greater portion of this is, of course, winter wheat, and 134,200 acres will be cut and threshed. The spring wheat acre age is given as 10,500, and the average yield 10 bushels, while that of the winter wheat is based on an average of 19 bushels, which is no doubt conservative all the way round. Oats and barley were small crops as the acreage was slight, and the total yield of rye is placed at 160,000 bushels in this preliminary estimate. Later on there will be a chance to get the record of the warehouses, and the yields can be more closely ap proximated. We hope to be in po sition to publish the detailed re port of crop production as well as the other resources of the county at at early date, when the correct figures have been arrived at. We believe it will prove an eyeopener to our readers. This has been a very successful year along all lines of agriculture in Old Morrow and we are hoping for a few more seasons of the same character that our people may again be on their feet, fully recovered from the ef fects of the poor years of the very recent past. Stunt Flying Too Costly. TERMED "the greatest sport ing event man had ever known," the Dole aviation derby, over 2,400 miles of the Pacific, has been a costly affair which pub lic opinion will again be slow to encourage. Announcement from federal quarters that the govern ment will frown upon any imme diate future plans for similar dan gerous stunt features meets the approval of all thoughtful citizens. Summed up the toll of the Dole derby was much more costly than the average layman realizes. Three aviators were killed on the way to the starting point in Oak land. Three planes were demol ished. Two planes were forced back at the start. Two more crashed on the runway. And of the four which continued the flight only two finished. Then the fifth took out to fly the entire course and find the lost and it too disappeared. In all three nav igators, three pilots and a charm ing girl found their graves in the water of the Pacific. Airplane racing over so danger ous a course and between many entrants has come into some ques- BnFrank Crane Says There Is a Lawbreaker Within You THE great lawbraker is greed. Of course men break laws because of other passions, such as love, revenge, vanity and the like. But greed breaks the law twenty times to where any other feeling breaks it once. The mainspring of every burglar's and pickpocket's career is greed. They want "dough" and they want it quick. Hence the blackjack and the breaking and entering. Old people are waited for with impatience and not waited on with love, because of greed. Many an unhappy marriage has its cause in greed. Families are separated on account of it and ancient grudges were founded. Laws are passed at its instigation. The passage of a passport law and of an income tax law had no foundation in justice, but took place simply because there were occasions for graft. The money could have been raised in a much better way by simple processes of justice. Greed was equally behind the activities of Robin Hood of yore and the modern legislator. The principle upon which they acted is the same. They took money from those who had it as an excuse that they were protecting those who had it not. The gist of all opposition to the prohibition law is greed. Bootleggers do not exist so much because people have an un holy appetite for lqiuor as because of the immediate profits there are in the clandestine business. , A barber was recently arrested in New York for shaving a man on Sunday. He could not resist the temptation to make fifteen cents, notwithstanding it involved the viloation of the haw. All laws will be broken to an extent where there is an at tempt to run counter to an acquisitory instinct of the individual. We have laws against theft, arson, murder and the like, and have had them for lo, these thousands of years. But they are all as steadily broken as the law against alcoholic liquors. Wherever you find a predominance of greed, you find law breaking. Greed is the chiefest of out anti-social vices, and ranks first as our lawbreaker. acre, later $2.50 per acre, and that thousands of acres were sold on that basis. The officials who maneuvered the wholesale looting of the children's heritage are mostly dead, politically and actually, but the evil that they did lives after them. We can neither undo it nor punish its perpetrators,, but we can see that that children's pitiful "irreducible" fund of $7,307,- 137 shall be robbed no more. Oregon's half of the $160,000, which has been estimated as due to royalties from sand and gravel companies, must go to the school fund and be used for no other use or purpose whatso ever. The responsible officials are still alive arid in authority and the people of Oregon are alive, too, and watchful. It is very clear that had this ir reducible school fund received what it should from the vast amount of land donated the state by the Congress, it would have been the means of keeping down and the aid to the schools of the state from this source would have been the means of keping down taxes to a large degree. The "up state" press should get busy in this investigation. " sessment and apportionment of taxes to be levied, in said district for the year 1927. J. W. MESSNER, Secretary. Dated this first day of September, 1927. 23-27. WUFH -s tion. America needs her good fly ers to teach and inspire the youth of the land in flying and not to risk life unnecessarily in stunts which mean nothing particular to advancement of aviation. The re sults attained through stunt flying are not worth the great risks. Road Debts Justified. UNCLE SAM owes $18,000, 000,000 in bonds outstanding. The bonded indebtedness of all the states totals $1,846,000,000. Borrowing by the states, stimulat ed perhaps, by those willing to pay a high price for bonds free of na tional income tax, has been criti cized. But state debts are small, considering the wealth of the na tion.. Florida, Nebraska and Wiscon sin have no state debt. South Da kota has the highest per capita, $85.15. New York state owes the most and can afford to. Central Park in New York City is worth more than the whole state debt. Half the money borrowed by the states has been spent on good roads, a fact that justifies the bor rowing. If it could be said that the other half had been spent on public schools the situation would be perfect, and it wouldn't matter if the states owed a billion apiece. Adapting an old saw to modern uses we might say that "fools rush in where wise men wait for a green light."

THE issue is now up between the state land board and the sand and gravel firms of Portland, who for the past seven years have been neglecting to pay their due to the state in the way of royalty for sand and gravel taken from the streams. These companies, now being called on the carpet, are making all sorts of excuses tor themselves and are crying compromise. They have as- sumed a very generuos attitude, to be sure, and have offered to settle on the basis of $1000, half of which would go to the state of Washington. It is estimated that there is due in royalties $160,000, and if this is approximately cor rect, the generosity of the sand and gravel companies can be read ily discerned. This money should have been collected and turned into the irreducible school fund, but like other transactions of the past with property belongiing to this fund, these people have gotten away with it, and the school chil dren of the state robbed. As this little war goes on, there is likely to be developments that will show up the whole rotten business. The people of the entire state are interested in the outcome of this investigation, and they should make it plain to the state land board that there is to be no further monkey business. We have this from the Portland Telegram, under the heading The Irreducible School Fund; which, because of the raids made upon the school lands of the state in times that are past, is a com paratively small sum : The organic act of August, 1848, donated to the newly created Oregon territory sections 16 and 36 in each township, a total of 16,888 square miles, or 10,803,320 acres. This princely estate was to be devoted to the education of Oregon's children, and the legislature on September 6, 1849, passed our first school law de claring that the principal of all funds accruing "Whether by donation or be quest or from the sale of any land heretofore given or wheih may be hereafter given by the Congress of the United States to this terri tory for school purposes, or ac cruing from licenses, fines, for feitures of penalties appropriated by law to the common schools, or in any manner whatever, shall constitute an irreducible fund, the proceeds or interest from which shall be anually divided among the school districts in the territory for the support of the common schools and for no other use or purpose whatsoever." Subsequent laws provided for in creasing this fund by numerous items, such as unclaimed bank deposits, fines impoed for medical law violations, proceeds from sale of timber on state lands and "royalties from leases of sand and gravel beds of navigable portions of navigable streams." In spite of the clear provision of the act of 1849 and later additions to Us resources, the "irreducible" school fund amounted on July 11, 1925, only to $7,307,137.33. . The shameful processes by which school lands have been thrown away, traded for less desirable tracts, and sold to dummy purchasers for the benefit of thieving speculators have never been completely brought to light, but we know that for years the price of school lands was $1.25 an Omigosh "That man is the ugliest person I've ever seen."
