UTAH HAS WONDERFUL Hen
White I.cghorn nc Agricultural Cot
lcge Has Five-Ycar Record.

November LIST closed the five-year
record Of the worlds champion hen
raised by the poultry department OF
the Utah Agricultural College under
the direction OF Prof. Byron Alder.
This hen has laid more eggs during
the past five years than eny other
hen In the world. During her career
she has laid SIC eggs. averaging 81
ounces apiece. Hens have laid more
eggs IN one year than Queen Utana
but never has one anywhere near APP
preached her record for five years
For eight years the experiment sta
ton nj Logan has been selecting and
breeding poultry In an effort to pro-
duce n hen that would meet the condi-
tions In Utah. To produce n variety
that can lay consistently and album
dainty for five years or more consec-
utive years means millions Of dollars
TO the pouitrymen Of Utah.
In producing this hen and others
that nearly approach her record. Pro-
feasor Alder has directed his efforts
along the line that would Increase
the egg production Of the state and at
the same time produce a hen that
has vitality 20 prolong it's usefulness
for long period Of yeara The av-
erage hen at the present time lays
hut few eggs after the second or third
year. she lays about eighty-seven eggs
year. which makes the best Of them

not more than 26t eggs.

EVILS OF STATE REGULATION.

Cattlemen in various parts of the
state complain that they are driven
out of the fine stock business by too
much regulation and the evils of
growing bureaucracy.
As a practical illustration of the
working out of the agricultural
problems by farmers themselves
without state interference take the
action of the Farmers Exchange at
Hermiston last week.
They decided to form a co-opera-
tive Bull Association, to secure for
the members pure-bred bulls OF good
milk-producing ancestry, and save
expense in buying and prevent In
breeding.
The Farmers Exchange Is work
ing this all out for itself and has SO
far not asked a state law or the inter-
vention of the numerous Domestic
Animal boards, commissions, ect.
More cows and better cows, more
and better dairy products, richer and
more successful dairy ranches, will
be the result of this movement Of
the h~ard-headed Farmers Exchange.

falling down from the federal gov
eminent to the state and county af-
fairs, aad the people are revolving

THE RETRENCHMENT PROGRAM.

The business mems delegation
from Multnomah county has been
holding sessions twice a week for a
month trying to map out a retrench-
ment program that shall cut off at
least a million dollars.
They find themselves besieged by
all the boards and commissions and
expert bodies that have been created
in the past to hold their soft jobs and
even demands for new sinecures and
new appropriations.
The Multnomah businessmen In
the house and senate this time seem
not to be the regulation A. B. D. del
egation, but are hewing out a stiff
program that onc put on the skids
will be hard to intercept.
Five important consolidation bills
to cut out at least a million dollars
of fixed charges are being framed
and will be put up to the legislature
with the option to pass them or have
them initiated.
One will put all the various land
and water boards and engineering
and surveying projects under n
head.
Another will consolidate the va
rious labor and compensation boards
and commissions under one head.
A third will consolidate all the do

smaller packing houses in Portland
and vicinity and would subject all
carcasses shipped to Portland for dis
tribution to government rules of in
spection.
1t is ~contended by commission men
and small markets that this ordin-
ance would prohibit such shipments
and compel the farmer to sell his
stock alive to the Union Stock Yards.
1t is alleged in the pleadings and
made part of this case that the
slaughter house of the Union Meat
Company is the only plant in this in
dustrv that could exist and do bust
ness at Portland.
The ordinance is being fought by
all the independent packing firms
and many of the retail markets Of
Portland. 1t is claimed by the plain
tiffs and appellants in this cas- that
the ordinance is in the interest of the
meat monopoly, and would tend to
raise the price to the consumer while
destroying a competitive market for
the producer.
The plaintiffs in conclusion allege
that the burdens and restrictions i'm
posed r such that the Union Meat
Co. alone can comply with them.

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPEF
Thursday, December 81, 1914.
A CASE IN POINT.

The recent report of the States
experts made the treasurer of Wheel
er county short $1,000; it furthe,
stated that since the report of the
experts had been made the short
age" had been paid. 1t would ap-
pear, however, that there was no
shortage in fact, for when the e1-
perts appeared on the scene to make
their examination of the Wheeler
county official records, the treasurer
held in his hands this balance which
he had not deposited in the bank and
the deficit was only technical and
should never have been reported
against that official. Apparently this
was a case of the experts having to
report something on somebody to
show that they were earning their
money.
In this connection, also, it is stated
that the county court of Wheeler
county considers the bill of the Port
land experts who made the examina-
ton as being exorbitant. 1t is eight
times the amount charged by pre-
vious experts for similar work done
not many months before when the
court had the privilege of making
their own terms and arrangements
with the accountants.
This is another case in point.
1t is further proof that the Office
of State Expert should be abolished.
Reinforcement and economy can be-
gin here. So far as we have been
able to learn, there has not been an
instance where these Portland ex-
perts have saved any money to the
counties. This is bound to be so as
the law provides they shall receive
ten dollars per day for their work
and there is no n to say how many
hours they shall work or how much
labor they must perform each day.
This is certainly one job that
should be under the control of the
county court Of each county. The
court is in position to get this work
done to the best advantage when 1t
has the say regarding who shall do
it. AS in Wheeler county, as in Nor
row, Hood River, Marion, Washing
ton, and in fact practically all the
counties of the state it has cost from
twice to three times as much to get
the work done as it formerly did
under the arrangements made with
private experts. Surely the taxpay.
ers have a right to demand some
trimming of expenses here.

INFLUENCE OF THE FRATER-
MITES.

Mr.. Bryan has expressed the view
that the fraternal organizations will
prove an effective force for world
peace. He admits that after inter
national difficulties have reached a
crisis the fraternities will be unable
to avert a breach, but he argues that
prior to such time the international
ties of brotherhood would resist ordi-
nary attempts to sever them. This
presumes a strength of international
membership of f%raternities which
does not exist. 1t also presumes too
much on the strength of obligations
between men who have never met
each other face to face. 1t is proba-
Bile that individual members of fra
~ternities would be influenced by such
obligations to temper the horrors Of
war when dealing with individuals of
the same brotherhood. There have
been numerous well-authenticated
cases to support this conjecture. But
it is doubtful whether fraternal
would be stronger than patriotic ties.
We have seen in the present "a the
best personal friends on opposite
sides. German professors who were
regarded as spiritual fathers of Eng
fish students are defending the Ger
mar cause against exceptionally bit
ter assaults from their former pupils.
International Socialists, who called
each other Comrades" and who OPP
emily r%epudiated patriotism as obso-
lete narrowness, are on opposite sides
of the European conflict, each de-
Tending his country's cause as just.
There seems to be no sentiment
strong enough to break the ties of
patriotism.
But the fraternal societies Of the
United States have exerted a remark
able influence in modifying the Bit
terness of patriotism and sectarian
controversies. At an earlier period
in our history men of one set of po-
litical views were socially ostracised
by neighbors of another political
faith. In the border states, for ex-
ample, children fought each other in
the school because of differences of
views on slavery. The antislavery
boys were not permitted to court the
proslavery girls. Religious preju-
dices were equally bitter. The de-
nominations spent more time fighting
each other than they did fighting the
prince Of darkness, or perhaps they
thought that they best fought him
by fighting each other. The cordial
relations now obtaining among the
evangelical denominations would
have been impossible two years ago.
That the association Of men Of
different religious and political views
in fraternal societies had much to do
with destroying these bitter preju-
dices may we'll be argued. The other
day the president quoted Charles
Lamb as declaring that he could not
hate anybody he really knew. When
men met each other in lodges, under
favorable conditions, they learned to
know and to like each other. They
recognized that men could be good at
heart and filled with noble aspira-
lions, regardless of their peculiar
beliefs about religion and politics.
After men had fraternized it was i'm
possible for them to renew their old
hostilities. The present tolerance in
religion and politics is probably more
directly due to the influence of fra
ternal societies than to any other sim
gle cause.-GlObe-Democrat.
