V ' . TRURSD AY, AU GUST 29,1940 -d STATE TOTALITARIANISM, something of which a lot of New Dealers keep assuring us can not happen here, is at least going to be given a good try in Glen Taylor, the so-called “sing ing cowboy” of Twin Falls who is the candidate on the Democratic ticket for the state of Idaho. As to Taylor’s candidacy as a Democrat— he is no more a Democrat than Stalin is, what he actually is, is a “liberal” “New Dealer”—for in our mind there is as much difference between a Democrat and a “New Dealer” as there is be tween daylight and dark. Taylor is advocating the taking over by the government of ALL BUS INESS, large ami small—he is careful however, as all these crackpots are, to not mention what is to happen to the farmers under his proposed set-up but Russia has the identical system that Taylor is advocating, and not so many years ago some 3,000,000 fanners in the Ukraine were actually starved to death because they would not subscribe to, and support, collective farming. Government ownership, of anything, is not the solution to our economic or agricultural woes, rather it would seem to us, should the govern ment encourage private enterprise through re search, wise counseling and protection of mark ets. No, it is not suprising that Taylor is advo cating state totalitarianism, for our line of reasoning has been coached that way for the last eight years, and it will be interesting to watch the Idaho farmers to see how they are willing to sell themselves “down the river”, at the coming election. FOREST FIRES, and range fires for that matter, wreck a havoc that is hard to value, either in dollars and cents loss now, or in the future. To those who have not seen burned over land, it might be worth their time and effort to go to some spot that has been visited by a fire and there ponder the seriousness of a carelessly toss ed cigarette, match or the “heel" from a pipe, (cigars are firebrands too). During the past week we have visited an area of range land that had burned over—what a desolate, forelorn sight! Grass land that meant food for stock and money for the stockman, gone up in smoke— leaving nothing but parched earth, it's blackness relieved only by the white ash of the charred sage brush. Not all forest or range land fires can be blam ed on the city dweller— for man, a fanner is just as careless in throwing smokes or matches out a car window as the city man. Ceaseless vigilance is the price that we must all pay if we are to preserve our forests for the hunter and vacationer, and our range lands for those who like to hunt game birds. THRESHING IN FULL SWING LINCOLN HEIGHTS—There has been quite an amount of threshing done in this vicinity the past week. Ivan Findley and William McElroy threshed small grain. Emil FYank ihreshed red elover.SamHen ry did tlie work. Mr. Henry also did some plowing for Mr. Elroy. The threshing of clover and alf alfa will be scattered through quite a range of time owing to the fact that it was not watered at the same time after the water came back in to the ditch after thp break. Mr. and Mrs. Tony Zlgman who are employed on the Ure farm near Nyssa. spent Sunday afternoon and evening at the Ralph Barnes home. Mrs. Clifford Jordan took the members of her 4-H Canning Club to Welser for an outing Sunday Feme Rookstool is a member of the club. The Lincoln school house lias been undergoing remodeling the past three weeks and is nearing comple tion but it is doubtful that it will be finished by the 3rd of September, (he date that the majority of schools will start this term. Present plans are that school will start September 10th. Lincoln Sunday School met at the George Pennington home Sunday with 31 members being present. This was an unusually small crowd.
