REGISTER AND VOTE.

The registration books will close
on the 18th of October and all who
have not registered should do so at
once. We would call attention to
the fact that people who have regis
tered, but have changed their pre-
cinct, will be required to register
again in the precinct in which they
now reside, as their removal cancels
the former registration. Although
there are. at the present time, over
1900 voters registered in this coun-
ty, it is estimated by various parties
that the total registration is far from
being complete. A canvas OF the
Hardman district shows that only
about 60 per cent of the voters are
registered. The county over the per-
centage is a great deal better, but at
that, there are from 100 to $50 who
have not complied with the law.
There are 80 measures to be voted on
this fall which are of vital import
ance one way or the other to every
voter, to say nothing Of the many
candidates to be chosen for various
offices. 1t is your duty as much as
your neighbor's to go to the polls
on election day and cast your pref
erence for the men and measures.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1914-10-01

There is one measure on the bal
lot this year that is worthy of an
affirmative vote. This is the one to
lengthen to four years the terms of
county Offices that are now for two
years. There is no good reason why
the terms of some county offices
should be only half as long as those
of other Offices. In the interest of
efficiency it is better to give man a
four-year-term. Besides, it is sell
dom that an officer is cut off with a
two-year-term, so that nothing is
gained by short term. The mea-
sure would save some money to
counties in decreased election ex-
penses and the office holder would
be saved considerable in the way of
campaign expenses. The newspapers
would lose some printing and adver-
tising by the enactment of the mea-
sure, but they should be patriotic
enough to overlook that.-Cottage

THE FIGHT TO REDUCE TAXES,

1t Will be up to the next legisla-
ture to reduce State taxes, and in the
meantime the people are interested
in having all public officials help
along in the fight.
While the work of the State Treas
urer's office has increased more than
thirty per cent in two years, he will
have a surplus of $4,000 saved from
running expenses.
That sum will be turned back to
the taxpayers.
The common practice of officials
and departments of government is to
use up all the funds allowed them
for conducting their offices.
But if every city, county or State
official would keep within his allow
ance, or even reduce running eX-
penses, state and county taxes would
begin to come down.
The example of the state treas
ury and of the insurance depart
ment of Oregon. conducted by men
of opposite politics, is a good one.
Both departments of our state
have handled a larger volume of bus
mess for a smaller sum total Of ex-
penses.
That is the practical way of giving
the people lower taxation.

IRRIGON.

Ben Bradburn and family of Walla
Walla are living in the Niles house.
Ben lived in Irrigon few years ago.
Since then he has been married, and
he now has dandy pair of boys He
started working for Uncle Sam Mon
day.
Work on the government ditch is
progressing very satisfactorily. The
ditch is cemented now, as far as the
Rand place. A crew of nearly two
hundred men and about the Same
number of horses are employed
There are no idle hands in Irrigon
now, as everyone that is not busy at
home has a job on the dlIcD.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. E. Hinkle aud SON
of Philomath, Ore, have teen in Ir-
rigon the past few days. Mr.. Hinkle
came up to look after his interests
here. He recently rented his place
to L. M. Davis. The Irrigon people
are always glad to see the old-tim-
ers again. Mr.. Hinkle and famil.

ROAST CHICKEN BY NAIL.

The Indiana farmer who has con-
trived way to send hot roast chick
en- to his customers by parcel post
will be numbered among the bene-
factors of mankind. He is one OF
the pioneers in great industry
which will develop rapidly in the
coming years.
The plan which this man has con-
trived is admirably simple and eff
fective. He puts the roast fowl in
an air-tight can and surrounds 1t
with dough. This retains the heat
for several hours, as it appears, so
that the edible is delivered by the
carrier piping hot for the dinner ta-
BILE of his happy customer. What
this man has done others will, of
course, do and no doubt they will
better his example.
Roast chickens are not the only
viands that can 60 by mail from
producer to consumer. There are
many others. The Government has
issued a bulletin describing some OF
the methods of packing articles for
marketing by post, but individual
ingenuity must contribute its share
to the good work. The Indiana far
mer of whom we speak has done
his part. Who will be the next?-
Oregonian.

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, October /. 1914.
GETS DESERVED PRAISE.

The Salem correspondents of the
leading Portland papers speak in
high praise of the Morrow county
exhibit at the State Fair. The fact
that the exhibit has carried off the
honors for Eastern Oregon counties
is proof that they were not mistaken
in their estimate of the showing
made. We have made the highest
score, with Wallowa county coming
in second best.
At the time of the County Fair it
was a question in the minds OF not
a few of our citizens as to whether
it would pay to take display to the
State Fair. and it required no little
hustling on the part of some OF our
citizens to get fund sufficiently
large guaranteed to handle the eX-
hibit and fit up booth. People
from outside the county readily rec
ognized the worth of making show
ing at the State Fair, being able to
pass Judgment on our stuff to better
advantage, perhaps, than were our
local people who are somewhat ac-
customed to seing things as they are
here without taking the time to note
their real worth. In fact there were
many people who attended the falr
here this season who expressed them
selves as somewhat disappointed;
they thought the fair short of what
it was a year ago; not so many ex-
hibits, and these not so good. This
was not so, to be sure, as the fair was
much better this year; the displays,
individually and collectively being
far better and more numerous. The
trouble was with us. We had be-
come somewhat more familiar with
the fair idea and had gotten over
the surprise that greeted us at the
first event. So it was natural that
some thought we would be unable to
get anything at the State Fair IN
competition with the entire state.
We will not be so modest in the
future but will be willing to give
more attention to getting up credit
able exhibits for both the County
and State Fairs.
In the line of products raised In
this county we should not be afraid
to 90 up against the world.

RAVAGES OF WAR NOT
TO Be COMPARED TO
LIQUOR TRAFFIC EVILS
Governor West Asserts Every Good
Citizen Should Not Miss Chance
to Deal Liquor Traffic Blow.

By Oswald West in Oregon Journal.
Oregon should go dry, because
there does not exist q single reason
on earth why it should stay wet.
The war news from Europe strikes
US with horror; yet this great war,
with all its carnage, past, present and
future, will not prove a drop in the
bucket compared with the ravages
which are being made throughout the
land by booze.
We boast that we are the greatest
nation upon earth, and in our efforts
to preserve that position we must
strive constantly to raise, or at least
maintain, the standard of our citi-
zenship, and to accomplish this end
we must increasingly fight organized
greed and graft, stamp out poverty
vice and crime, protect the home and
make life more pleasant for those
who have been less fortunate than
others. 1t is idle, however, to talk of
progress along these lines so long as
King Alcohol occupies the throne.
Who grabs the pay check from the
honest workman on Saturday night
and makes his wife and little ones go
ragged and hungry? Mr.. Booze.
Who sows the seeds of poverty and
distress everywhere? Mr.. Booze.
Who fills our insane asylums, fee
ble-minded institutions, penite1tiar-
les and reform schools? Mr.. Booze.
Who loads upon us most Of our tax
burdens? Mr.. Booze.
The vets protest against voting
the state dry because it will close
Paul Wessinger's brewery and be
equivalent to the confscation of his
property, but they do not tell you
how the brewery was built through
the ruination of homes and the con-
fiscation of pay checks. They do not
tell you that every brick in the build
ing represents broken heart, and
the color of the building is emblem
atical of the blood that has dripped
therefrom.
Whenever | think of the devil |
think of booze, and whenever think
of booze think of the devil, for the
devil is booze and the booze is hell.
Old booze is an outlaw who has
been long pursued but never sub
dued. At no time and under no cir
cumstances should he be given quar-
ter, and it is the duty of every good
citizen to stand ready to sandbag
him whenever he sticks his head in
sight. All Oregon will have a chance
to sandbag him on November 8, and
for the Lords sake let US make
good job of it.

THEIR ABUNDANCE.

Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen
is a banner year for Oregon farmers
They never we're in the midst of such
are vast and the prices high. A sale
are vast and the prives high. A sale
of a million bushels of wheat at 50
cents for Club and $1.03 for Blue
Stem was a transaction of the past
week. There is scramble for wheat
all over the world, and Oregon farm
ers never had so great total to sell.
A news dispatch this week from
Heppner stated that representatives
of Eastern woolen mills have Of
fered to contract next years wool at
30 cents. 1t is wool incident never
before heard of in Eastern Oregon.
1t is a price one to two cents higher
than this years wool price, and this
wears wool price is the highest on
record.
In livestock, in dairy and poultry
products, farmers have extremely
high prices. Most consumers are
paying 40 cents dozen for fresh
ranch eggs, and the wholesale price
is 35 cents. Butter is above the av-
erage price level, and spring lambs
are Sc to 1925. Ewes are $3.50, and
even sold the past week at $4.75.
The farmers of the state have more
hogs than they ever had before, and
the price is at top level. Beef is
seven cents, and there is an unusua
supply in the state.
Hardly in a generation have farm
ers had so remarkable combinatior
of big crops and high prices. They
will have more money this year tt
throw into the channels of business
and to lay aside for their own uses
than they have had before in twent,
years.
Nor have they in that period hat
an outlook for continued prosperit.
comparable with that which is II
prospect for them in the coming ant
future years.
And the sunlight of their abun
dance will, as it always does, shed 1t
self in good measure OF prosperity
for those who are not fortunate
enough to be Oregon farmers s.---Ore

European wheat buyers, during
the past few days, contracted for
about 100000 bushels of Oregon
and Washington wheat to be deliv-
erred at Continental and British ports
via the Panama Canal. The reason,
it is asserted, that foreign grain mer-
chants dealt directly with the coast,
is because of the unusual difference
in price between Chicago and the
coast quotations - this difference
amounting to about 10 cents a bu-
shell over and above transcontinental
freight charges. Portland and Pu-
get Sound grain dealers expect that
Europe will purchase most of its
American bought grain directly from
North Pacific Coast dealers.

A local man has closed his liv-
cry stable. The automobile has
worked havoc with the livery busi-
ness in the last few years, and in the
years to come this fact will be more
noticeable than at present. Many of
the cars on the market today are
within the reach of the citizen of
average income. Not only this, but
there are few people who would ra-
ther ride in the ordinary livery rig
than the finely unholstered automo-
bile. There are many cars that can
be rented today. AS yet, the price
of renting is somewhat high. But
many people would rather pay the
difference. Hence the decline in the
livery business. If we may, we would
predict that sometime in the future
riding behind the we'll kept livery
horse will be as much of luxury
as the present day automobile Is to
the man seeking comfort and pleas
ure. This due to the secretly, which
Invariably creates the demand.
