The women Of Washington are pre-
pairing to take an active part in the
forthcoming campaign. Already two
of them are avowed candidates for
different offices, The latest is Mrs.
Josephine Preston, who will run for
state superintendent of public instruc-
tion, on the Republican II ket. Mrs.
Preston is at present county superin-
tendent in Walla Walla county where
she has made a good record. She
is organizing her campaign systemat-
ically and promises to have the sup
port of many we'll known educators.
Mrs. Timblin of Olympia, is the
other woman candidate, She wants
to be state land commissioner. This
indicates that some women appreciate
the right of suffrage and intend to
avail themselves of its best opp rtu-
mites.

"Graduated Single Tax" is now

WHY NOT?

For some time past there has been
very earnest consi deration on the part
of a number of our church-goiug
and church-supporting people Of the
opposition to federate the chuches of
Heppner.
Now this NAV not be considered a
subject altogether proper for cons der
alton in the secular press as these
matters are supposed to be settled
by the church people themselves, vet
we have in mind all matters looking
to the betterment of conditions in this
community, and withal this is a sub
ject in which the editor of this paper
is personally interested
In this little town of Heppner we
have at present no less than six strug-
Cling church organizations and at this
time but four of them are maintain
ing the services of a pastor. The
struggle that each is passing through
from a financial andpoint to do even
the little that is being done, none but
those who are particularly interested
can testify to.
Within the past three years three
of these churches have enlarged their
houses of worship and today any one
of the three will amply house the
entire church-goinR community. But
two of them have pastors, and only
one of these giving his full time to
his church in this town. What's the
matter?
The difficulty lies in the fact that
there is too much division of interest
Too much keeping apart over matters
of minor importance Too much of
party spirit The thing to do is to
cut these out and let number of the
churches come together in cne organ
ization and save this waste of money
and energy.
The spirit of federation and coop
Grafton is in the air. 1t is striking
the hurches ana the conditions that
exist in the smaller communities will
be remedied.
We favor this move. Lot the
churches of Heppner unite, federate,
get together, and have good, we'll
paid pastor; unite their forces for do
ing good and conserve this waste of
money and energy.
A mass meeting is being arranged
for the very near future to discuss
this question, pro and con, with a
view to arriving at the proper con-
clusion and if you have never thought
Of what such a move would mean
to this community will you kindly
give it confederation and be prepared
tc take part in proper discussion of
the methods necessary to consummate
this most desirable event in the his
tory of Heppner.

The proposition to build a new
schoolhouse for Heppner is meeting
with favorable comment. The people
of this district realize that the pres
ent as we'll as the future needs demand
more adequate facilities this has been
understood for long time but the
conditions financially and otherwise
have been against the move for new
and up-to-date building. The time
has come. however, to taKe definite
action and prepare for a new struc-
ture. A vote of the district at this
time would no doubt authorize the
work, providing the patrons of the
school and the taxpayers generally can
be made to understand the urgent need
AS stated in last issue, the directors
are up against the necessity of max
ing some extensive improvements to
the old building. More room must
be provided and repairs are needed
that will call for the expenditure of
quite a sum of money. There can be
no going ahead with plans that are
matured for the betterment of the
school unless these things are done,
and when you have fixed up the old
house it is still unfit and not properly
located. and the money thus expended
is practically wasted. The good judg
ment of our people would seem to be
against any such procedure. 1t is
now a good time to push this along.
Let Us have a suitable new school
building, erected on lower ground
than the present site, and if possible
let Us get this ready for consideration
at the annual school meeting on the
18th of the coming month. To all
who will stop to give this subject con-
sideration it is not necessary to pro-
duce any argument, aud the progress
i've spirit of our citizens will prompt
them to line up and have a school
building such as the present as well
as the future needs of our city require
