COMMENTS OF THE WEEK A WEEK FOR KINDNESS T,O ANIMALS— PUBLIC NOTICES ESSENTIAL TO GOOD GOVERNMENT— THIS WEEK has been set aside to remind us to be kind to animals. Certainly there is no argument against the worth of such a week to bring to mind the necessity for humane actions by man toward all animals. Man, with his superior intelligence, is cap­ able of inflicting pain or showing kindness ns he may desire and for that reason should remember that his actions in respect to ani­ mals must be governed to compensate accor­ dingly. However, just one week for the practice of such kindness is not enough. That practice should be daily and should be followed throughout the year. Considering from the standpoint of the animal kingdom itself, just one week of kindness would leave 51 other weeks of unpleasant experience. Considering from the human standpoint, man could cer­ tainly not be proud of himself were he to practice kindness for only the one week. That, practice should be followed for the 51 weeks not set aside for kindness to animals. THE IMPORTANCE of public notices for the maintenance of good government is a feature of government which should come to wider recognition by voters in the election of their public officials and in the demands which they make on those officers. Movements seem to have been started to withdraw laws requiring the necessity of making public notices essential for those who have charge of public money. It has happened in Oregon that each legislative session sees the drafting of bills for the elimination or reduction of effectiveness of present require­ ments. Should such a movement come to fruit fulness, those who have the handling of public money will be given much greater opportun ity for the misuse of that money. In othei words the possibility of graft will become greater. Governmental expenses have, even now, reached a proportion where taxes are op pressive to many. Any opportunity for un necessary expenditure of the taxpayer’s money is an opportunity to be forbidden those whe might do so. Public notices of expenditures will in a great measure be a preventative.

Of those trees, four-fifths are to be planted in the western portion of the twe states. Considering for a moment that the north western part of Oregon in which we live ha: provided considerable employment to timbe; workers and lumber workers during past ars and that a good deal of the lumbei products of this state have been procurer from this region. Also consider that before too long a time present sources of luinbei are to be exhausted. A good deal of effor'. has already been spent in attempting tt compensate for the decreasing timber supply Increasing efforts at compensation will pro bably be attempted in the future. Would it not show foresight on the par of forestry officials to place in this part o the state some of those trees?
