To Improve Artillery Fire.
The War Department has adopted for
the Coast ARTILLERY service range board,
the invention of Maj E. w. Hubbard
commandant at Fort McFenry, Md. The
board is mechanical device for auto
matically computing the working range
or or .sl, elevation which must be given a
heavy gun to reach given target. In
artillery the range. or distance to the
target. is the prime factor in hitting.
The range finder gives this distance regu-
lariy every fifteen seconds. The device
corrects the observed range every fifteen
seconds. giving a fictitious or corrected
range, to which the gun is elevated.
THE good old days of the smooth bore
when at target practice, about a shot an
hour was fired. and then only after care
full computations. have passed away"
said Maj. Hubbard. THE modern twelve
inch gun can be fired, with all allow
ances made, once a minute, with an
even chance OF hitting a moving target
at long range. This Improvement has
been due not only to improved guns
powder and carriages, but to the con-
slant and devoted work of our artillery
officers extending over period of years.

WALK, WALK, WALK.

The ordinary man who is employed
indoors throughout the day does not
walk enough. He needs the fresh air
and sunshine of the outdoors, and no
matter how tired he may be, short
time in the open air will rest him. If
he has no opportunity to walk dur
ing the evening, he ought to do 1t in
the morning. There is no better tonic
than a two-mile walk before going to
work. Some business men who live
some distance from their offices or
stores walk down regularly every NOR
ming, and are greatly benerfted there
by. No matter how sluggish they may
feel on arising, the morning walk puts
them in good trim for the days work,
Exercise in the open air starts the
blood to circulating in every artery
and vein in the entire system, opens
up the pores of the skin. so that the
waste matter in the body may be set
free, limbers up the joints and mus
cles and puts one in shape for the du-
ties of the day.-St. Joseph's Ca
zette."

WHY CHANGE IT?

Two years ago nominations for both
state and county officers were made
under the direct primary, By both
big political parties good men were
placed in the running. In DR.. James
Withycombe the republicans had a
candidate for governor whose char
acts was exceptionally good. 1t is
doubtful If a finer man than DR..
Withycombe ever ran for governor of
Oregon. Such men as he were not
brought forward under the old politi-
cal system. He was a product of the
direct primary. Had the nomination
been left to an inner circle of poll
ticians they would probably have chos-
en- more practical man than DR..
Withcombe.
For other offices too good men were
named for the last election. AS a rule
all the men upon both tickets were
good men, because their strength had
been tested in the primaries. Before
running for office a candidate had to
try out" in the primary election. No
man secured nomination through

KEEP POLITICS OUT.

In some circles there is alarm over
the report that Secretary Ballinger in
tends removing Director Newell of the
reclamation service and appointing In
his stead City Engineer Thomson of
Seattle, a personal and political
friend Of the secretary. 1t is said
that the change, should it be made,
will work a general reorganization of
the service and may mean the intro
duction of politics into the reclamation
corps.
But if there is a single branch Of
the government service that should
be free from politics it is the recla-
nation department. If Secretary Bal
linger wishes to make the Seattle man
director of the service "for political
reasons" he should hesitate long be-
fore he acts. OF course it may be
that he wants to appoint Thomson be-
cause the latter is a good engineer.
But it will be strange if Thomson,
who APPARENTLY has been devoting his
time to such things as the street and
sewer work of Seattle, is more COM
petent to head the reclamation work
than would be one of the engineers
already high in the government ser
vice.
The reclamation service needs men
who win do thorough, competent
work. Thus far the service has made
a very creditable showing. 1t is up to
Secretary Ballinger to keep the work
up to the standard and to improve 1t
if possible. In carrying out the unfin-
ished work of the reclamation service
he has great chance to distinguish
himself But If he tries to convert
the reclamation corps into political
machine he will unquestionably lower
its efficiency and he may make his
own name by word of reproach
throughout the arid regions of the
west.

ly had the following clear endorse
ment of the income tax amendment:
Work for all classes. "The income
tax places a penalty on thrift" is the
cry of the William Waldorf Astors-
great and small. on the contrary by
Inducing reinvestment the income tax
places premium on thrift-which
is not merely boarding money, but
saving and employing it.
The income tax is the straightest
fairest tax that ever was proposed.
Certainly those who derive the most
from our country and our form of
government should pay their proper
ton of conducting that government.
AS against high protective tariff
the income tax is incomparably fairer
and more logical. While the average
rich man may consume more imported
products than the average poor man,
the latter in the mass, carries vastly
the greater share of the burden,
though he pays the duty to the local
manufacturer instead of to the gov
ernment.
Every once in a while an awe
struck voice from Washington whls-
pers that we are threatened with 4
treasury deficit. Could anything be
more ridiculous than a deficit in the
treasury of the richest country in the
world? The income tax would still
this croaking voice forever
We would have had the income tax
ir this country if it had not been for
a sudden change of opinion in the
mind of one man, which gave a bare
majority of our Supreme Court against
the constitutionality of such a tax.
Under the decision it will take con-
stitutional amendment to put this sane
straight, fair, logical revenue measure
into our law books.
And "The Examiner" purposes do
ing all in its power to expedite the
of the constitution.
The people must make it plain to
the members of the legislatures of the
various states that they must vote in
approval of the amendments.
The income tax is the desire of the
country. Congress voted it the only
time it was submitted The President
has declared for it, and only techni-
cality, rooted up by burrowing judge
stands in the way of it, Now let the
have its will.

WHERE HOPE LIES.

If this portion of Umatilla county
is not advancing as fast as it should
there is but one thing the matter
= the country is too sparsely populated
There are too many big ranches ana
not enough families upon them.
In the minds of some people to
remedy this situation is a hopeless
proposition. But it is not There are
several forces that will serve to di-
vide the big ranches and create a
closer settlement in the country. To
begin with a higher state of agricul-
ture is certain to come about. AS
times goes on and land in this county
becomes more valuable farmers are
going to adopt more scientific meth
DDS. They will raise more diversified
crops than at present. AS they i'm
prove their methods of farming they
Will need less land and the country
win become more thickly settled.
AT this time there is great field
for development along the rivers and
creeks of the county. In the Umatilla
valley, along Wild Horse creek,
I Birch creek and Mckay there are
thousands of acres of land capable of
the highest form of agriculture. At
present this land is used for the most
elementary purposes-the raising of
hay crops o. grain. The big ranches
along these streams may be cut up
into hundreds of we'll paying little pro-
duce ranches. In the course Of time
they will be cut up.
There are other forces too that will
tend to promote settlement in the
country districts. Electric lines never
fail to break up big ranches and in
duce a closer settlement. Umatilla
county is going to have some electric
lines. When and where are propo-
sitions that are to an extent up to the
people of this city and of the county.
1t is also inevitable that the settle
ment Of the great irrigated section of
the west end will affect the remainder
of the county. The watering and
cultivation Of the west end will very
likely increase the rainfall for the en-
tire county. Certain it is that the ex-
istence Of a highly intensified farming
section in the west end will tend to
produce a higher agriculture through
out the remainder Of the county. A
higher agriculture will mean more
people.
There is not the slightest reason for
pessimism on the part Of the people
or this section. Umatilla county is one
of the greatest counties of the north
west and its real development has
scarsely begun. The people should
continue to look forward and work for
the advancement OF the county. AT
this time the most effective way to
work for the advancement Of the
county and of Pendleton is by ad-
vocatlng those things that will tend
to produce a closer settlement in the
farming sections.
