OPPOSE CHANGES IN LEASES
INTERESTS SEND PROTESTS

Washington, Dec. 30.-Protests are
reaching the interior department from
Oklahoma against modification OF the
policy of not granting leases aggre-
eating more than 4,S00 acres of oil
land in what are known as depart
mental leases. The policy has been
followed by the interior department
for some years, and is chiefly appli-
cable to Indian lands in eastern Ok
lahoma.
Recently Ex-Governor c. y. Has
kel and William Mowris of Tulsa,
promoting construction of an oil pipe
line from Oklahoma to tide water,
made application to the department
for removal of the lease acreage
limit. representing that the Dutch
Schell interests, which, with Others,
are understood to be financially
backing the enterprise, could not
see its way clear to support the new
pipe line unless the restrictions we're
waived.
Recent publications of the plans
down in Oklahoma brought from re
puted independent oil producers OF
Tulsa, Nowata Bartlesville, Musko-
gee, Okmulgee and Ardmore numer-
Gus protests against changing the
departments policy. 1t became known
today that the Indian bureau sent
telegrams to Oklahoma oil producers
inviting further opinions as to the
policy of either removing the limit
on acreage that it may be leased
or extended materially.
Members of the Oklahoma delega-
ton In congress said tonight that the
delegation had indorsed the new
policy asked for by Haskell ana
Mowris. believing that in afordins
increased facilities of transportation
the Oklahoma oil industry would be
materially benefited 1t was pointed
out that Oklahoma and mid-contlnent
oil field generally Is short on pipe
line capacity. and that rates charged
by existing lines We're too Msh' con-

that have gone before. The old year
with its roar of cannon, its bursting

the cruel salt sea; the old year,
with It's heartaches and triumphs, its
tears and laughter, its sorrows and
toys, its pains and pleasures, its 81

with whatever its days brought we

There Is no past.
There is no future,
There Is only the eternal now.
There is no task beyond our
strength.
The dawning of new year brings
a solemnity to the lives of each ana
mankind is prone TO map out plan
for future action. Those plans are
seldomly carried out because they
are most usually the plans OF mac
tyity when life suggests action. they
are plans OF abstinence when lie
demands freedom; they are plans OF
greater limitation when life demands
broader fields. Plans made out OF
harmony with all that life demands
will soon become inadequate and the
breaking OF resolutions we ascribe
60 weakness, when the thought that
devised the plan was in error. No

political partnership dispensed
booze and other "delectable luxur-
les" to the solid eighteen populist
bunch? Does URen remember how
we turned out all the republican and
democratic Clackamas county Off
cials and substituted populists?
And what then? Why, when U'Ren
went to Salem to take his seat in the
legislative assembly the "intoxicat-
ing liquors which U'Ren wants to
prohibit were so strong in evidence
that U'Ren failed to qualify as leg
islator. Then what assurance have
we that If elected governor of Ore
gon - which Heaven forbid = he
would qualify for the office? None
whatever. The fellow cannot be de-
pended upon, he will resort to all
manner of dispicable, tricky, methods
to carry his point and generally fails.
Let the Socialists remember his

gle tax party, and now it will be the

party if they are simple enough to
nominate him, to say nothing of the

hundred acres of land in Clackamas

three years management or rather
mismanagement.
Socialism has nothing to do with

Our good friend, Gus c. Moser-
everybody \ knows Gus-has been
making a most active campaign for
nomination to the Office of governor
on the Republican ticket. In this
issue we present to our readers his
platform in few concise words. He
stands for economy, efficiency, and
dignified law enforcement. He
also boasts of the fact that while
state senator in the last legislature,
he voted against the present tax law,
and he stands for reduction OF
taxes, this to be brought about by
doing away with the numerous ard
useless commissions and the COM
bining of many of the state boards
that now create places and salaries
for an army of employees and tax
eaters. Gus C. Moser is wide
awake little fellow; he is on to his
job alright and appeals to us as
standing we'll in the lead of the num-
erous republican aspirants for the

Says Our Bear Story Little Mixed.
Stacy Roberts, who was down from
Toll Rock on Wednesday, says that
we we're a little off on facts In our
bear story of last week. This was
no fault of the editor, however, as
we gave the story as it was told us
and If we failed in getting all the par
ties in who were entitled to mention
it was because it was not made
known who they all were. Holly
Leathers should have credit for do
ing the artillery work, and it was
he that KILLED the bear" Friend
Merrill still holds the honors and is
entitled to the laurels for the picket
duty performed but as it was Mr..
Leather's gun that was brought into
action, he could not be induced to
let anyone else perform the execu-
tion. 1t was all the same to the bear,
however, and we have not yet learn
ed who claims the pelt.

The fight in the Democratic camp
over the governorship would seem
in a large measure to be narrowed
down between Judge A. S. Bennett,
of The DallCs and Dr. C. j. Smith of
Portland. DR.. Smith has been max
ing a strong campaign on reform
and reinforcement platform and
should he be nominated and elected,
he is expected to carry forward the
West policies; he is, in fact the man
that Gov. West has decided on for
his successor. On the other hand,
Judge Bennett has made canvas of
the state on a platform of law en-
forcement by a man who knows the
law. Between. these two men there
is no comparison as to ability as we
view it, and we should be pleased to
see the Democrats of the state give
their endorsement to Judge Bennett.
There might be such a thing as the
election of another Democratic gov
ernor in Oregon, and should this
happen it would be fortunate cir
cumstance that Judge Bennett we're
the man.

Citizen of Eight Mile Indulges in q
Little Political History.

Eight Mile, Morrow County,
May 18th, 1914
To the Editor Gazette -Times:-
Havn't the Socialists of Morrow
County in their declaration of prin-
ciples" drawn pretty strong on the
capitalist twins, w. S. U'Ren and C.
w. Barzee? In a lengthy declara-
tion sent out to the Socialists of the
county they have Incorporated lot
of meaningless, deceptive trash that
has no bearing whatever on the
principles or ethics of Socialism.
Here are a few eve endorse" meas
ures in question.
1st-We endorse the abolition of
the Senate.
2nd-We endorse the $500 ex-
emption whereby citizens with prop
erty, etc.
3rd-We endorse a right to work
measure, etc.
4th-We oppose the Bourne anti
paid petition measure. a
Now the four above measures have
nothing to do with Socialism, and the
concluding paragraph, 1--WE favor as
an immediate demand an amendment
to the constitution prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of intoxicating
liquors in Oregon" is foreign to
anything ever proposed in any Soc
ialist measure. The entire platform
is in the interest of w. s. U'Ren Of
Oregon City, candidate for govern
or. The $500 exemption is a single
tax entering wedge and this fellow
U'Ren has been showed under on
the proposal twice in the state. in
spite of his tricky, dishonest meth
ods of submitting it in initiative pe-
titions. But he is trying again and
hopes to bunco some of the Morrow
county Socialists into voting for him.

icating liquors" Has he forgotten

ECONOMIC TRANSITION
Journal.


The striking changes in the eco
nomic and industrial systems of the
world were outlined by Logan G..
Mcpherson in a recent lecture at
John Hopkins University. Point
ing out that political development
followed similar lines. The struggle
is between the many who hold that
the leaders in finance and industry
are their oppressors and who de-
mand what they regard as more
equitable distribution of the fruits
of industry and commerce and those
of the leaders who contend that the
demands of the many are becoming
so onerous as to interfere not only
with the beneficial distribution of
wealth, but with it's very production.
Treating of the growth of collect
iveism through partnerships and
through the corporation Mr.. Nc
Pherson said development which led
to the corporation had been bene-
fetal to the people as whole. In
terwoven with it was the working of
competition which had been for good
so long as it enforced the element
of thrift.
Competition though had been in
furious when 1t forced producers to
dispose of their products at unre-
munerative rates.
A notable effect of combination on
a large scale had been the strength
ening of another combination, that
of trade unionism. Under unre-
strained combination or unrestrained
competition it is the efficient that
survive. AS with all things else
industrial competition when carried
to the extreme meets opposing forces
that bring reaction, forces that tend
toward combination.
So does combination when carried
too far meet resistance and lead to
unrestrained competition. AS bust
| ness tends more and more to become
an organic whole it becomes more
and more an instrument of social
service.
Mr.. Mcpherson emphasized the re-
sponsibilities of industrial leaders
and the importance of knowledge as
a basis for regulative legislation,
He found much hope for the future
in the fact that the speculative pro-
moter and financial buccaneer are
being eliminated from the boards OF
directors of the great industrial cor
porations.

This paper has refrained from TAX
ing any active part in the primary
election and in the promotion of the
interests of any individual candi-
date. On tomorrow the people of the
county will have the privilege of 60
ing to the polls and selecting their
standard bearers. So far as the
county ticket goes, those individuals
who are asking favors of the people
and are aspiring to the different Of
fees, have conducted a quiet and de-
cent campaign, free from personal
tiles and abuse of any kind, and this
is as it should be. After the nom
nations are made, then comes the
general election, and whoever is sue
cessful in the primaries and becomes
his party's candidate should have the
support of his party, and there
should be no back biting on the part
Of those defeated. The pleasant re-
lationship that has existed between
the various candidates leads us te
believe that this will be the result

A BAD MEASURE.
Oregonian.

Oregonian.
The constitutional amendment re-
lating to voting qualifications filed
at Salem by the Socialist party Is not
a measure creditable to an organiza-
tion that pretends, at least, to stand
for clean and intelligent government.
This measure, If adopted, would
permit any voter who has lived In
the state thirty days to participate
in an election. The residence period
is now six months. No other state
has shorter one.
Residence qualifications have been
adopted by all states for two prime
reasons. One is that the elector may
have some knowledge of state needs
in choosing candidates and the other
is that colonization of voters may be
prevented.
In Oregon 1t is physical impossi-
bility for newcomer who is con-

Louis E. Friedrich, better known
in Heppner as Friedrich the Tail
or, passed to his final reward early
Monday morning after an illness of
about two weeks. The direct cause
of death was dropsy, which came
upon him rather suddenly and in a
severe form. Mr.. Friedrich had not
been well, however, for some wears
and he suffered very seriously at
times from chronic rheumatism He
would keep at his work, however,

little time from his work. putting in
many days at a time at his trade
when he was suffering intense and
excruciating pain. The end came to

tailor shop on Monday morning.
A short funeral service was held
on Tuesday afternoon at the home
of &. c. Maddox, an old-tinle friend.
Rev. w. N. Ferris of the Federated
church officiating, and interment was
made in Masonic cemetery.
L.. e. Friedrich was born in Say
ony, Germany, July 10th, 1858. and
died in Heppner, Oregon, Monday
May 18th, 1914, after short illness
He came to America some thirty
years ago and conducted business in
various cities and towns of the north
west. For the past nine years he
has been resident of Heppner. His
only surviving relative in this part
