Governor West in working on the
problem of the unemployed has tackl-
ed big job. He will find that if he
pays small wages the said unemploy-
ed will refuse to work for him. and
if he pays liberal price he will be
unable to give work to as many as
will apply. We believe he will dis
cover that running an employment
agency by the state and at the same
time furnishing the work will cause
another increase in the state taxes.

Christmas Cheer.


Christmas is almost here again, an,
all kinds of advice is being given t.
the public, as to their shopping, thei
presents, their charity and their dut,
in general on this memorial event
celebrated in honor of the coming OF
earth of the greatest teacher thu
world ever had. In the giving of his
life we have the greatest lesson giver
us that it is possible to present. He
was ever thinking of the good that he
could do for others that they might
be happy.
So why not be imitators of the ex-
ample which was given by the Christ
in whose honor we are to celebrate
this day, get in he habit of thinking
of the comfort of others around you,
think of some way in which you may
brighten for a day at least, their
life and by SO doing you will not only
make that one day brighter but you
will have given some one something
that will cause them to remember for
many days, a brighter day.
The spirit of helping others is man
ifest more and more each year in a
public way, but why not do these same
things privately and thus you will by
this individuality do double if not
more good. OF course that will take
more of your time but the reward will
be also increased
1t is not the value so much that is
contained in the gift that reaches the
heart as it is the spirit in which it is
given that gives to the person receiv-
ing 1t the greatest good.
The efforts of many in the cities to
make Christmas merry is certainly
very commendable, and is the cause
of much joy TO the children of the
cities and as well to those who par
tieipate in the giving. The beautiful
trees erected on the streets in the
parks and in public halls all have |
part that We would not seek to take
therefrom, but rather would we see
the real Christmas spirit get hold of
all to such an extent that he or she
as the cause might be, would person.
ally see that all whom they might
meet on that day may realize by their
manner the day represented the better
part of man and that we all wished
The other fellow happiness.
If all you can give is a smile, give
that. for many is the time when a
kindly smile will do more good than
A gift by proxy.
With some people this giving of
smiles might be hard job. so begin
oraeticing up on it, as you have only
few more days to work on until the
giving is due.
Christmas cheer should invade every
'orner and if it don't somebody has
'ailed to do their duty, so let us all t
ret ready to do our part and all will |
Ne merry. il

Mayor Albee of Portland has as a
result of the recent investigation of
the police department dismissed two
captains, three sergeants and seven
patrollmen for "conduct unbecoming
an officer, and for the good of the
service. ;" The cleaning up work of
a city is hard job, it is one of the
kind that must be worked at con-
stantly and while no doubt many an
officer loOses out when he is doing
the best that he can, these house
cleanings usually has the effect of
making those in office more efficient in
their work.

Polk County will have to pay a little
over five dollars per capita for every
man, woman and child in the county
as its share of the running expense
of the state. Ii is almost time to
call halt somewhere in the state
expense roll. The taxpayer does not
object to spending his money to make
better schools, better roads and things
of this nature which comes in the
regular county levy but when the
state sends their untamatum to send
over to the capital city, $74,67O.OO
and this sum must be raised in addi-
tion to that required to properly care
fore the county, many taxpayers are
beginning to "set up" and take. no
tiee that public matters in the state
are of interest. and We predict that
men aspiring to state officers at the
coming election will be required to
answer many questions along the line
OF reducing state expense.
