Morgan to Wash T ington, in regard to roads on the Owyhee and Vale Projects, brings to mind the question as to just who’s responsibility the roads, and schools, on these and similar projects, is. Primarily the problem, in our mind, is on the shoulders of the federal government. One of the motivating factors for developing these lands is to provide more suitable agricul tural (centers for the farmers that could not pos sibly live in the ‘dust bowls’ of the middle west. With these new settlers on the lands, the necessity for more adequate roads and school facilities becomes apparent. The federal govern ment has made it mandatory that these people shall be exempt from taxation for a period of three years from the time that water is on the land. This is as it should be—one could hardly expect these people to stand the burden of gen eral taxation, when the high cost of developing these new lands is well known. However, when these people do come onto these lands they must have good roads and school facilities. It seems unfair to ask counties, or cities to carry this added burden. And we feel sure that every person on our new lands will, and does, recognize this fact. As long as the Bureau of Reclamation sets out regular construction and maintenance cost charges, may it not be a timely suggestion that they likewise make available, funds for the proper construction of roads, which could then he turned over to the counties for maintenance. Likewise improving or building proper school facilities. This additional cost could, and would be, gladly, accepted by our new neighbors. This cost stretched out over a period of forty years would be hardly noticeable by the individual. Take the case of the Nyssa schools. We have in the neighborhood of some eight hundred children, attending classes, in buildings that are designed for about three or four hundred. The new settlers, themselves are aware of this situa tion and are not any more enthusiastic about it than the ‘old timers’. Perhaps if some concerted effort could be worked out we could present this idea to the proper people in Washington and make avail able, through legislation if necessary, funds that would take care of not only our own project roads or ¡schools, but those in other parts of the country. ------------------- + ------------------- NEVER LEAD WITH YOUR CHIN— recent announcement by the War de T HE partment and the Navy department, that from now on, information on our army and navy, will not be broadcasted to the world at large, seems to be a sensible plan. If the past nolicy, al lowing any one, without question to take photos of forifications or ships of the navy, was allowed with the belief that it would set a salutary ex ample for other nations, it was doomed to fail ure. Try carrying a camera around any of the Japanese ships or forts! Your camera will not only be taken away from you, the films destroy ed and you will have to submit to very close questioning. This same situation exists in prac tically every country in the world. Being of a non-militaristie nature in the United States, it is only natural that we cannot share the attitude of countries that are (Constantly on the verge of war. However with events that have happened in the not distant past, it seems to us to be a step in the right direction when the two departments clamp down statistical and photograpnic infor mation concerning our armed forces. To do otherwise would seem to be violating one of the fundamental rules of the manlv art of self defense—NEVER LEAD WITH YOUR CHIN. 12 Noon. Services in the Home- ST.

Theme: "Thou shalt not kill.” This is part of the observance of National Safety week. • Two Minute Sermons • ’’WATCH YOUR STEP" (Written for The Christian Science Monitor) ' The attention of a visitor, travel ing in the United States of America was frequently arrested by the Pull man car attendant's warning. "Watch your step,” as the passen gers descended from the car to the platform. This advice may have served to stay travelers from taking a false step and to direct them safe ly. The admonition left a deep Im pression upon the traveler, and has served, on several occasions, to check contemplated action until he was satisfied th at the step to be taken would result in good. In these days when there is a tendency to make quick decisions, when events of im portance follow hard on the heels of one another, and a hasty conclusion might intensify human misery and disaster, mankind needs to be con stantly watchful and alert before : giving action to thought. Perhaps at no time In human history has it been more requisite th at men should cultivate the priceless gifts of clear vision and poise. The prophet Jeremiah, knowing the helplessness of mortals, in a testing hour prayed (Jeremiah 10: 23 >, “O Lord. I know that the way of men Is not in himself: It Is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Also, the Psalmist humbly prayed (Psalms 119:133), ’’Order my steps In thy word: arid let not any iniquity have dominion over me: How helpful are these prayers! Even though one is apparently engulfed in the meshes of material entangle ments. and the way seems befogged, it is one’s prerogative to express right Judgment. And why? Because man s true selfhood is the image and likeness of Ood; man is consciously possessed of divine Intelligence and wisdom. Referring to ignorance of the cause of disease. Mary Baker Eddy writes in the Christian Science textbook. "Science and Health with Key to the 8crpitures" (p. 374): "You confess to ignorance of the fu ture and Incapacity to preserve your own existence, and this belief helps rather than hinders disease Such a state of mind induces sickness. It is like walking in darkness on the edge of a precipice You cannot forget the belief of danger, and your steps are less firm because of your fear, and ignorance of mental cause and effect " Such ignorance is a source of other forms of discord, as evi denced in world conditions today Its ill effects are seen among man F rid a y , J a n u a r y 23, 1920 Between 3500 and 4000 sheep and 800 head of cattle were drowned near here Saturday morning when an ice gorge on the Owyhee river : backed the water up over the feed- ■ ing ground.

Lewis came out several days ago and admitted that there are some people who find it convenient to live under a com munal organization. He went further to say that Democracy is on trial. We can agree with him th at far. Democracy is indeed on trial. It has been for more than 150 years. But Mr. Lewis should note th at in every trial it has faced it has come out on top. Perhaps the trial has been lengthy and not so pleasant at at the time, but the result has been the inevitable success of Democracy. It is at least refreshing for Mr. Lewis to admit th at he is trying democracy. It makes everything clearer. Certainly everyone has known for sometime that methods he was using were decidedly un democratic. It is now agreed that he has set back the cause of labor at least two score year and all because under the present set up he has power which even the laboring men are afraid to fight. Lewis is literally ruling thousands of laboring men by fear—simply because they do not now have the democratic weapon of free speech and free voting for themselves. On paper, perhaps they have, but not in actual practice. Lewis lives lavishly, speaks insult ingly, and openly disrespects the rights of others including the labor ing men he is supposed to represent, but Lewis, as all others who rule for a time by strong arm methods, will be swallowed up by the forces that created him. He says he has dem ocracy on trial. It might be well for him to pause and consider the last man put it on “trial" by methods such as he is using. It was the LATE Huey Long —Eastern Oregon Ob server. ASK WITH ADEQUATE EFFORT AND YE SHALL RECEIVE In his column of quaint rural hu mor in the Sunday Oregonian Dean Collins gives everyone of us some thing to think about during 1938 when he asks the crowd yelling “Gimme, Gimme” what they are giving 1938 in return for all they ex pect of it. Right here in Prineville the query is particularly appropriate in the face of a development that promises adequate return for every effort. The new year will give us • everything that, by honest effort, we qualify ourselves to receive, either as in dividuals or as a community.—Cen tral Oregonian. HERE COMES PROSPERITY A lot of “big business men” of the nation are now solemnly predicting th at the "recession" is about finish ed, that very soon the country will be enjoying unprecedented prosper ity. and that 1938 is going to be one of the best years the nation has ever seen It beats the band what good predictors these boys are. What they are really saying but are trying to conceal is that, haring gone the limit in their efforts to A-owbeat the government and retrieve their old-time cinch, and haring defied the laws of the land until it is be coming dangerous, and having listened to the president’s latest speeches and found him still unter- rlfled and full of fight, they have predicted that for the present, at least, they will subside and vapor- i » the "recession" and allow busi ness to proceed As nauseous flies in in the ointment of the nations prosperity they were becoming too conspicuous—Capitol Press. NATIONAL EXTREME As has been said before, we seem to be a nation of extremes. We are showing this trait clearly at the present time in the revival of the pre-prohibition resentment against liquor and its forces. The story has been unfolded be fore The evils attendant upon the public sale of liquor becomes in creasingly evident and public re sentment rises. We go from the ex treme of overindulgence to the ex treme of complete prohibition. We find neither satisfactory. Some eastern states are now go ing through the preliminary steps which eventually lead to prohibition. Public indignation is high and resort to the laws is being talked of. Tem perance organizations are reported actively renewing their fight of sev eral years ago. It seems foolish th at we should repeat our selves so soon after the failure that was prohibition. Some more moderate course will meet with greater success than any hing attempted recently. Wonderful strides were made by temperance forces through education. All the gains were lost when such educa tion resulted in the attempt to leg islate. Happenings in the East have aroused liquor industry. Rt mincers of conditions under prohibition are being broadcast through the nation. Education is their weapon. Educa tion, as proven in the past, is the most effective weapon for temper ance forces. The American people will resist any second attempt at legislation.—Grants Pass Bulletin.
