The highlights of Tuesday's state news in the state capital at Salem was the open "wordy brawl” staged between Governor Julius L. Meier and State Treasurer Rufus C. Hol man. Charges made by Holman brought quick retorts from the Gov ernor, and the battle was on. It continued until the Governor person ally declared the “reign of terror” adjourned. It is generally believed, and con firmed by Webster, that one who holds exalted rank or office may be called a “dignitary.” After the con duct of members of the state board of control in its last meeting, it is doubtful whether such a term may be applied to Oregon's state offi cials. One thing is certain; that the exchange of personalities did not re sult in the working out of a con structive program which would as sist the Oregon state legislature in solving some of the grave problems confronting It. Perhaps the task of running a state government is “child's play” In which the participants consider their individual whims and dis agreements more Important than the problems confronting the govern- ment, of which they are representa- tivea. Even if the Governor and the State Treasurer were elected to their office by a large majority of the voters in Oregon, there is no law prohibiting those same voters from becoming disgusted with those same officers when they display such childish banter, and ballyhoo, as was batted back and forth across the mahogany desk in the state ex- ecutive’s office Tuesday. Unless here is a spirit of cooperation re- stored within the board of control, the state’s business will continue to take a step backwards. The apology offered by Holman for his conduct does not alter the opinion of many that our state lacks "dignitaries.” Times Change. We have been scanning the count ry press for 30 years. Ah, well we recall the days of “boiler plate". We had a couple of columns of It which we used to run for weeks at a time, and some of the more critical of our subscribers would write in and want to know why we never finished that story. That is all we had of It. But we had a lot of nonpariel type that we set land notices with, and then we had a lot of patent medicine cuts, like Hall's catarrh cure, which same copy ran for 4 8 years, and Doan's kidney pills, Lydia Pink ham's Compound and Ayer's Cherry CITY OF HERMISTON Report of City Recorder for Period Dec. 31, 1931 to Dec- 31,1932.

Merchants never changed their ads. They used to head their ads with "Live end Let Live.” The more progressive merchants changed their ads four times a year; with the seasons. And the up-to-date country newspaper kept moving to the districts where people were tak ing up timber claims and the printer set up the notices with nonparie type.* When they ran out of sub scribers they would put on a cam paign for two-bits or four-bits i year. But the country newspaper in Oregon, lias taken on form, dig nity and decorum and is now one ol the outstanding institutions of in fluence in our business, political and social life, Typographically it compares most favorably with the high-toned city daily. Its news is a compendium of life and events. given far more accurately and minutely, within its territory than is physically possible in a great met- ropolitan newspaper, We have no- ticed these changes. We have no- ticed the great change in local ad- vertising copy. Local advertising was solicited and given to help the printer along, and the name, busi- ness address was all there was to the ad and it ran until the type was wore out. or the merchant sold out or died of old age. Ads now in the country press are news. Each week they contain the late.it in prices and the public by the use of the country press have become price- minded. They watch the ads. Ano ther great change that we have no ticed in the country press, and with in the last couple of years is the editorial expression of the paper It is an innovation and the country editor is speaking right out and do ing a gilt-edge job, and the editorial influence of the country press has grown with leaps and with bounds. Thare is a personality to a country newsp: per that no longer dominates the city daily, and this gives it a currency proportionate with the known character of the author. It may sound like a strange and fan tasic statement to say that the uni ty of our nation is held intact large ly through the influence of the country press. We once had a sub scriber tell us that he did not give a ' damn" what the paper said abou him for he could walk out of it circulation in 30 minutes. But those days are gone, and from scanning the country press of today and rc calling the country newspaper of 31 years ago, we Icok upon this trade this craft, and this art with feeling akin to the same pride that we sur 'ey the evolution of the race fron nonkey to man. And, we don't ant to go back to the good old ays of Lydia Pinkham, Doan’s pills ind sticking up land notices with nonpariel type, a column or two of boiler plate and nothing but delin quents for readers.—Blue Mountain Eagle.
