THE CHANGE OF THINGS
In view of the fact that the present politi
cal campaign is being conducted practically
upon the sole issue of " economy, " it having
been asserted that taxes have increased three
fold during the past ten years, the following
from the Ashland Tidings is either of parti
cular interest or else highly amusing, as tin
case may be:
"Prior to ten vears ago (uc
party was used mostly by politicians for pri
vate ends and the newspapers were meekly
and honestly engaged in bewildering and mis
leading the public. The editors themselves
thought that the country would go to the eter
nal bowwows if their party was defeated and
tried to convince everybody else of the pos
sible calamity in the ascendancy of the oppo
sition. Time passed on; Kliticians grew fat;
taxes rose high, and the people began to see
that political parties, instead of standing for
great basic principles as they were supposed
to do, were now changed into machines thro
ugh which politicians were raised to power t
help the politician and the machine instead
administering economical and efficient govern
ment, as the people, by pre-election pledges,
were led to believe was the coveted object o
the dear old party. "When the people first
discovered the fact things began to pop. Weak
enough, indeed, at the first, but growing ovt
stronger, until at last their thought is illus
1 rated in such, laws as the Oregon corrupt
practice act, the direct primary and the re
striction of party machines by a general e're
tion law that makes united party effort at an
election nil."
Undoubtedly comment is unnecessary, bu
the query arises as to what has become of the
economical features of' the situation as
outlined bv the Tidings editor? It might also
be added that everv succeeding ' Legislative
Assembly is soundly berrated for its alleged
short comings by editors of the Tidings sort,
and one unacquainted with the situation
would necessarily fonn the opinion that the
' Oregon System" is a failure.
fence their land rabbit tight ns fast as cleared
and let Mr. Babbit hop to the sagebrush. It
will mean lessened prosperity for the rabbit,
but more lor the rancher.
Harney .County furnishes an excellent illus
tration of the possibilities of cooperation. If
ranchers, by combining, can conquer tho jae'"
rabbit, there is probably no limit to a sikmm'.-m-ful
cooperative fight against other unwelcome
crop consumers.

HAKXEV COUNTY'S EXAMPLE
Congress ami commissions have scoured the
world for data on cooperative rural, credits.
Even India was invaded by an American con
sul who went there to learn what cooperation
had done for the native farmer. This is as it
should be, but the national lawmakers should
not neglect the opportunity to extend their
investigations into Interior Oregon.
The Burns Times-Herald tells about thr- ne v
Harnev Countv Cooperative Association. Its
organization is a declaration of war agairst
the jackrabbit, which has survived and mul
tiplied in spite of rabbit drives, bounties and
poisoning. The jackrabbit has remained "n
' the job ravishing the ranchers' crops and forc
ing many a worthy settler to abandon his
homestead.
Henceforth members of the Harney County
-association will buy rabbit-proof fencing in
.carload lots direct from the factory and pay
for it in cash. They will exclude Mr. Jackrab
bit by fencing their land and individual mem
v bers will be given three years in which to pay
for the fencing. The association will be financ
ed by a membership fee of $25, of which $1,
must be paid in cash and the remainder may
be in the form of a note. These notes will be
used in establishing the association's credit.
The Times-Herald says that it is simply a
scheme for pooling the credit of members.
Fencing will be furnished the ranchers at cost.
They propose to quit raising grain to fe"
more jackrabbits and try raising crops to fee
to livestock and to sell. Thoy are going

(Portland Journal)
We howl about high taxes. We lament
about crime. We figuratively weep over, the
wastefulness of the government. Hut we
don't go to the polls.
We yell about the weakness of our govern
mental system. We denounce the graft and
grafters. We insist that everything is rotten
in Denmark, lint we don't even register.
We kick about city government. We ulu
late about county government. We condemn
state government. We animadvert against m
iional government. We don't register.
In faltering voice and amid a tempest of
sighs, we tell the ne'uhbors alnnit how our
taxes have increased. We then proceed to
blame it all on the officials. We propose a re
call and start out with petitions. But we don't
register.
We howl about nominations. We repine
over the candidates. We remonstrate against
the initiative. We censure the direct primary.
We agree that everything is wrong and noth
ing right.
But we tlon't register. We stay away from
the polls. We let somebody else do the voting,
ami we do the scolding.
And, nr. registration totals prove, there are
thousands of us.
We Offer a Few Suggestions Which
Will Aid You in Your
Efforts:
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS
lue government has been experimenting
with the Postal Savings Banks for three and a
half years and tho results are purely negative.
At the end of the first fiscal year, June 30,
1913, the total deposits throughout the coun
try .amounted to $33,818,870, standing to the
credit of 331,006 depositors. It takes about
two of the big savings banks of New York
City to equal the total number of depositors
that are found in the government banks, the
Bowerv Savings Bank of New York is carrv-
ing more than $100,XX),000 on deposits; and
there are three other New York institutions
in the same class. Means of remedying the
situation have been urged ujion Congress, and
the substance of the recommendations are to
the effect that tha lid be raised on the restric
tions as to the amount that may be deposited
in a government bjank. The results so far seem
to clearly prove .that the people of this country
are not as much afraid of private banks as has
been generally supposed, and are willing to
place their risk with the private instithtions
in preference to the government itself, because
of the larger rate of interest paid by privately
owned banks.
Last Saturday was the time fixed for settle
ment upon the lands recently restored fnin
the National Forest. Of the 'reported 200,000
acres it seems that the total elimination was
short of 175,000 acres, and of this amount
nearly 340,000 acres was "reserved or other
wise appropriated," leaving a net acreage of
3,C20 open to entrv. This amount is still fur
ther reduced by reason of being rocky, moun
tainous and too rough for cultivation, leaving
an approximate area of tillable land of less
than '20,000 acres, or IGO-acre claims for less
hat 125 applicants. While possiblv some of
the land is of good value, yet as a general
rule it is doubtful if it is any better quality
than thousands of acres of land that is sub
ject to entry at any time throughout the Lnke-
iew and Burns land districts.

The bust expression of disapproval
