4 UNITY cF INTERESTS.
Relationship Of Residents Of Rural
Communities to the Home Town.

'Live and let live" is policy that
has come down through the ages and
is an expression OF the Golden Rule
only in different words. There is in
born in nfan a desire for self-preservar
ton 1t is a law of life, and to this
desire can be attributed that which is
considered selfishness within US, saw
age man has little regard for the
rights and properties of others He
lacks the sense OF equity and justice
and is guided solely by the brutal in
stincts. Intelligent man realizes that
all his fellow creatures are entitled
to the same rights he would enjoy
himself. Therefore where the Chris
tian spirit is found, there can be look
ed for such equity as gives all an
equal chance to gain livelihood and
to enjoy the products of their labor.
There should be the greatest har-
nony among the citizens of every
community. The interest of AL the
classes comprising city or a district
should be considered identical. 1t has
been noted that the most prosperous
towns have been built up by har-
monious and united effort of all the
people composing it. In these days
wnen there are evils to combat, when
oppressive trusts exist that are fac
tors in unequal distribution Of wealth,
it is all important that the masses in
each and every community unite and
work in harmony for the protection
and betterment of local conditions. 1t
it to be regretted that in many agri-
cultural communities there is a lack
of harmony between what is called
the business interests and the produc-
ers of crops. Different reasons may
be advanced for tLis condition, but the
most common cause is misunder-
standing on the part of the citizens
as to the relationhip that should ex-
list between them. 1t is wrong for
the teachings that go forth that the
farmers interests are different from
those of the merchant, or that the
merchants interests differ from
farmers of the community 1t
is also an erroneous idea that the
town is alone for the townspeople
and the country districts for the farm
er. Is it not true that the merchant
is dependent upon the farmer for his
support? And 1t is equally true that
the town is an important thing to the
farmer. 1t is convenience to him
and he is as deeply interested In all
that pertains to it, to its advancement
and the betterment of its public insti-
tutions, its streets, its parks and all,
as are the people who reside within
the town. The merchants should real
iZe how important the farmer is to
them, and the farmer should be
brought to realization that the town
is for him as well as for those who re-
side within it's limits and that the
less antagonism between the resi-
dents on the farms and the residents
of the town the better 1t will be for
the whole community. There is a
unity of interests that cannot be
ignored, and there is common field
wherein all can work for mutual bene-
tit,

There is a vast difference in the
farmers of to-day and the farmers of
a quarter of century ago. 1t is Won
derful how the improvements brought
into existence in a single generation
will change conditions. Every inno-
walton that makes life in the towns
more desirable, also finds way of

GET-RIcH-oUIcK GAMES.
Government Investigating the Opera
tors of Bucket Shops That Do
Business Through the Mails.

In times of prosperity there are al
ways chances for the CRATER. During
the past ten years has been the era
of the get-rich-quick man. No sooner
does one scheme play out than an
other takes its place. Thanks to the
ever diligent postal inspectors, and an
unrelenting government the schemers
are not so plentiful as few years ago.
For some years a number of supposed
legitimate grain and stock brokers
thrived in both eastern and western
cities. These were active in soliciting
through the mails, and through local
offices the business of small investors.
The millions Of money gained from
the unsuspecting people will never be
known. In New York, Chicago, St.
Louis and other cities large and ex-
pensively conducted Offices were main
tanned. Once the government got on
the right trail, there were irregulari-
ties discovered that resulted in fraud
orders being issued against a number
of the concerns. The end is not yet
and the work of determination will be
kept up till there is none in operation
Buying stocks in fair market Is q
risky business, but when there are
schemers to stack the cards against
the investor, there is not ghost Of 9

empt from taxation. while hard
working farmers and business men
bear the burden of government.
Whatever is held for speculation
should be taxed just as heavily as
property in use. The speculator de-
pends upon others thrift to increase
his values. He is not developer. He
is not a builder. He simply gathers
In profits earned for him by the in

Several thousand acres of fine tim

and is either being held for specula-

Utility is the keynote of all good

Let us tax the idle timber land anc

TAX THE TIMBER LAND.

While small farmers, merchants
and stockmen whose holdings are WIS.,
ible and cannot escape taxation, are
bearing the brunt of county and state
government, spectators in land are
allowed to escape with comparatively
light assessment.
This is not only true of Umatilla,
but of almost every other county in
the state. The idea has grown up.
with other capitalistic ideas, that
what man is not using should not be
taxed, no matter what its value, and
rather through custom than premedi-
tation, much valuable property has
long escaped taxation in this way.
As fast as the valuable timber land
of Umatilla county is decided it should
be cruised and taxed for just exactly
what It is worth Timber is like
money in the bank and there is no
excuse for rich spectators holding
millions of dollars in the state, ex-

HEROES IN DEATH-AND LIFE.

From every railroad wreck or
other terrible disaster come thrilling
stories of heroism of dying men and
women.
The wreck of the Shriners' train
in California Saturday night is no ex-
ception to the rule. 1t gives one
thrill of Joy to read these heroic in
cidents. It removes many Of the lin
gering suspicious about the selfishness
of men.
But why do we so often overlook
the real heroism in life and gloat
over those of the dying hour? The
East Oregonian knows little woman,
the mother of six or seven children,
whose invalid husband died few
months ago after long, painful, hope
rless suffering.
| Every day that little woman play
ed the part Of a heroine. She went
about her work cheerfully, supported
her children without aid from any
source. waited upon the man she
loved, nursed him, brought him dain-
ties purchased from her little store
of weekly wages and made his last
days happy, If possible.
All this she did without encourage
ment from the throng which is evei
SO ready to cheer the brave word Of
the dying man. All this she did II
meekness and devotion, without
word of praise to urge her on.
Every hour she gave herself as
sacrifice to her duty. She never mur

And yet what a burden must hav'

These are the real heroisms. Thes

that new blood" is needed in the as

The East oregonian thinks that 1t is
a pretty good brand of blood which
has made the record of Pendleton
Commercial association. New blood"
is not always good blood. Too many
people are prone to follow off a new
fad, adopt new enthusiasm, simply
because it is new.
At the last, the staid old member
ship of the Commercial association
will be called upon to put up the
money, bear the burden and foot the
bills.
II new blood" is needed in the as
sociation, let the young men Of the
city join it and let us enlarge the
board of managers to 20 members
appoint additional committees, in
crease the gymnasium equipment and
make the association bigger every
way, but concentrate all the strength
of the city in the one association.

headway. We cannot support several
organizations when one can do al

Wood Flour.

The Toronto Pulp and Papar
Magazine states that the demand for
wood flour IL increasing at such a
rate that the manufacturers can not
fill the orders. Sawdust and white
chips, free from bark, from sawmills
and wood working factories, can be
converted into wood flour, which
has about the same value as ground
wood pulp. A small plant. the mag
azine says. can be put down for an
investment of about $4,000, which
will produce five tons of flour in %
hours. OF this flour there will be
equal quantities of so, 40 and q
mesh. The consumption ls chiefly
for explosives.

Of worse. It stands to reason that as
population increases and the use Of
wheat increases that the price of the
commodity will naturally advance.
II Umatilla county farmers could
get 75 cents all through, for one
years crop, 1t would be especially
gratifying. Many times in the past It
has seemed that this price would be
reached, but something always hap
pens just before the dream is realized.
