Malheur County, Oregon at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission Mails, os second class matter, under of March 3. 1879 C O U N T Y G R O W TH PREDICTED K. L. Johnson of Boise, general agent of the Union Pacific system, told members o f the On tario city council last week that Malheur coun ty towns along the main line of the Union Pac ific have prospects for a bright future. O f course, the towns included in his predict ion are Ontario and Nyssa. Because they are on the mainline o f the railroad and also on a coast- to-coast highway they will reflect Malheur county’s growth first. Mr. Johnson probably bases his prediction on the great agricultural possibilities o f the county, coupled with the in creasingly greater use o f agricultural products in industry. Only one large site for an industrial plant re mains vacant on railroad company land in On tario, Mr. Johnson explained, as a result, the railroad man urged development o f an indust rial district. He also suggested that Ontario in augurate a street improvement program, which would be geatly appreciated by the packing house firms already in Ontario and those that might be induced to locate there. Nyssa, through the forsightedness o f some o f its businessmen and city officials, is several jumps ahead o f the program suggested by Mr. Johnson for Ontario. Nyssa businessmen have purchased a large tract o f land south of town for industrial plants and have formed a comp any for handling the property. With construct ion of a siding, ample land for industrial sites will be available for several years. The city o f Nyssa is also forming definite plans for a street improvement program, which will have to wait until after the war. But the program will be ready as soon as materials are available for street work and industrial con struction. Prospects indicate that Nyssa will be ready for the development when it comes. I f it isn’t, it will suffer the consequences, because the gr owth is certain to be rapid, with the eyes of many sections turned in this direction.

A Blushing Matter Recently I auuresieu an audience well salted with men of my own calling: teachers, senool executives anu men oi degree in loiinai educa tion. 1 talked about tilings 1 be lieve in, such as consinu.ional gov ernment, laws maoe by representa- uves of the people, tree speech, un- snacKled faith, anu open competi tion. After the meeting one of the educators told me 1 was not objec tive, did not iiave an open mind. He was ashamed of me for having convictions. What a spectacle 1 was in his eyes, a college president with my mind made up! 1 spoke oi representative, constitutional gov ernment as belter than state social ism. 1 delended man s right to own property, to create and operate a business with a hope of profit, as better than government management of industry. " I f we luse these princi ples," 1 said, "w e will drift to lower standards, surely as water seeks its level." We Need Fixity Those are facts. Experts in polit ical economy can prove them to any open-minded listener. Or a student can travel the Earth and see for himself as 1 did. Where docs labor get the highest wages? Where docs agriculture enjoy the highest living standards? It is in America, only in America. The reason is our economic system, not just our re sources or our people. These facts need to be taught. Europe’s outcast philosophies, wrong as they are, make progress in America. Why? Because too many of our young men leave col lege believing they must have an objective attitude toward everything. They get no firmness of purpose at school. In my opinion it is high time educators got some fixed principles on vital matters like gov ernment, morals and religion.
