SOLDIERS ARE FORGOTTEN
When the men of the local national
kuard company attempted to raise a
Email mess fund by givipg a public
dance last week, they met with fail
lure. There was hardly enough cash
¡raised to pay for the orchestra, say
reports, and the men will get along
¡with what Uncle Sam provides them
for the next two weeks. Not that
the government is not generous in
the soldiers’ mess allowance, but na
tional guardsmen are mostly boys
[rom home who are unused to the
straight camp food, and who appre-
riate a few delicacies to go along
irith the staples. People of Tillamook
:ounty have denied them these.
It has long been a subject of com-
nent and much criticism, that, dur-
ng peace times, a soldier is not
ranted or appreciated. During war
imes, when these men are badly
leeded to save the skins and property
if others, nothing is too good for
hem. This feeling of apathy is not
leculiar to one community alone; it
s widespread and has happened prior
o and following every war we have
iver had.
One sometimes wonders why any-
ne is fool enough to try to do any-
hing for the nation—the job is thank-
ess, and the public and patriotic-
pirited citizen usually comes out the
ittle end of the horn.
In a recent issue of the “Headlight”
ppeared a very thorough and com-
irehensive editorial enitiled “Tax
laters, Frills "and Excessive Ex-
enditures.” The article was written
nd signed by Fred C. Baker,
ormer editor of the Headlight. The
Oregon Voter” of June 7 has copied 1
he article and as a result a very ap-
reciate letter comes from J. L.
loule, of Baker, Oregon. He refers
specially to the last paragraph in
Ir. Baku ’s work, which reads as
oilows: “To get down to brass tacks i
here is only one sensible and prac- •
ical way to reduce taxation, and that
s to .educe expenditures in state,
ounty, city and school districts, cut
ut the frills and get rid of a whole
Jt of tax eaters who can be dis-1
ensed with.” In commenting upon I
his paragraph Mr. Soule says: “It
*•’ set a standard, the following of
ihich will enable you to achieve the
er7 laudable ambition of reducing
Ws in Oregon.”
Mr. Soule, who has written the
»mmunication to tlfe office of C. C.
hapman, editor of the “Oregon Vot-
r ■ goes on to suggest feasible
leans of bringing about the desired
^-reduction, by a slogan in each
'"-e and constant tabulation of wast-
money. Here are some of the slo
ws that he suggests:
Let the people who want the frills
*>' the taxes to cover the bills.”

is drier at this time of year than
ever before known.
Already forest fires are taking
their toll of large tracts of timber
and it has been suggested that our
national forests be closed to tourist
traffic.
As most of these fires are caused
by man, this terrific annual loss in
timber, buildings and lives rest al
most wholly with the people who live
in or use our forests.
Every newspaper, every moving
picture theater, every public speaker,
every teacher and every minister
should call the attention of the pub
lic to the necessity for caution in
the woods and for hearty co-oper
ation in preventing and extinguishing
fires of every description that are
found unattended.
Officers of the law should see that
punishment is quickly given to
offenders against rules and regula
tions which seek to safeguard our
forests and people who live in same.

ANNUAL ENCAMPMENT
CATTLE MEN NOT DISCOURAGED
OVER DROUTH CONDITIONS
OUR NEWSPAPER VISITORS
Newspaper men in Portland today
are out where the West is.
In Oregon, they are in the state
with the largest stand of saw tint-
ber, with Washington second and
Californa third. The three have as
much timber as all the other states
combined.
In Washington they are in the
state that has more water power
than any other, with California sec-
and and Oregon third. The three
have as much water power as have
all the rest of the states. Portland
has more tributary water power than
any other city in America and poss
ibly in the world.
A map issued by the United States
Chamber of Cmomerce shows Oregon
all white — meaning prosperity;
Washington all white, and California
nearly all white, On this map, more
prosperity is shown in the three
states than in any other equal area
in America.
It’s all live information for the
ever alert and intelligent gentlemen
of the press to carry back home—
Oregon Journal.
Cat: lemen of Eastern Oregon are
not entirely discouraged by the'
drought conditions which prevail east i
of the Cascades, according to E. N. i
Kavanagh, assistant district forester
in charge of grazing who recently
made an inspection tour of range
conditions in that section of the state.
“Cattle prices are holding up,” I
Kavanagh said, “and it is expected
they will go higher. In many local
ities large quantities of hay have
been held over from last season and
will make up to some extent for the
deficiency in this year’s crop.”
Although there has been no appre
ciable rainfalf east of the Cascades
for an alarming length of time, Kav
anagh reports that in many localities
the feed on the range has recently
freshened up and evidence a more vig
orous growth. This he says may be
accounted for by the fact that the
air has held more moisture.
The lower country of Eastern Ore
gon is now as dry as it usually is in
August Kavanagh said, and stream
beds that have held water for over 50
years are now dry. This means that
stock will go to market weighing less,
he said. But prices are staying with
the stockman, he continued, and old
hay will do a great deal in tiding
over the situation.

We no longer have to

is as essential to his safety
as the title to the property

We do want proper! y own

ance. Our primary interest
