The Fellow who Makes Us Laugh.

We crown the great artists with laurel
And sing to them peans of praise;
We banquet the makers of cities
And lift them to fame in our lays.
But want to pay one little tribute
Less gaudy than earnest by half
And my wreath OF roses want to send
To the fellow who makes us laugh!
You know how II is who have labored,
And worried and fretted, all day,
To meet with, In person or paper,
The fellow who laughs IL away.
Who takes us when ieasfwe expect II
And turns us from sorrow TO cheer
With a twist of his thought that's. SO
funny
Our troubles at once disappear
tell you, he's worth all the ages

SOCIALISTS WOULD NOT
ABOLISH INITIATIVE AND
REFERENDUM

Mr.. Editor of The Gazette-Times:
Permit me to correct an error ap-
pearing in your issue of two weeks
ago. In a clipping from the Browns
Vile Times, was said among other
things that the socialists had started
move to repeal the initiative and
referendum. Will someone be so
kind as to show in what way there
can be any truth in this statement?
The article says the trend is to make
a one mans government. The
fourth plank in the national social
ist platform declares for the initia-
tive and referendum. Don't get
scared about the socialists trying to
tear down that valuable measure;
the one through which their untir-
ing agitation is greatly responsible
for Oregon to be able to boast of the
eradication of the old time zone
mans government"
While many republicans and dem
ocrats are loud in their denunciation
Of the initiative and referendum, it
is impossible to find a socialist who
is hostile toward it. While the in
itiative and referendum is abused to
some extent, we cannot think Of ell
iminating it. The increasing length
of the ballot seems to be the only
objectional feature, and the social
lists have remedy for that. The
proportional representation measure
which you will get chance to vote
on this fall, and which also the So
cialists declare for in their national
platform, is the only means by which
the ballot may be shortened.
Through the workings of this law,
because of the fact that all parties
will be represented in the legislature
according to the strength of their
party, many measures which other
wise would be initiated and referred
to the people, will be fought out In
the legislature. 1t Is possible now
for a party representing one thirc
of the voting strength of the state tt
elect all Of its representatives, be
cause the other two thirds are divid
ed between four or five other parties
Consequently laws are often fran
ed in the legislature that confic
with the sentiments Of the majorit.
: of the people and measure is init
) lated to kill it; whereas If the legis
lature had been thoroughly repre-
e sentative; or in other words if ever
party had been represented accord
ing to it's strength, the sentiment Q
the legislature could be more accul
ately relied upon as being the dom
inant sentiment of all the voters, an
: many measures which would othel
wise be referred to the people, woul
e be killed in it's embryo state. Th1
g proportional representation measur
'e allows any voter to vote for any let
% islative candidate in the state an
the sixty receiving the highest nun
ber of votes are thereby elected.
will give the weaker parties a chan(
W to concentrate their strength on few
er candidates, thereby insuring the
l. election. Those who believe in
a. square deal' should support tn
ie measure.

A FAIR SAMPLE

Congressman Gardner OF Massachusetts,.
is crying aloud that we have no navy and
demanding an investigation. The Re

Wilson administration. Yes, the Repub
licaEs claim it is due TO the Wilson al.
ministration that we have no navy. al
though the Republicans have been in
control OF the government for forty-fonr
years out Of fity-four years. As usual.
there is no truth in the accusation Dur
ing the last ten years Of Republican adj
ministration under Roosevelt and Taft
the total appropriations for the navy
were nearly 81 200, 900 900. II we have
no navy what has become Of the money?
The Republicans had full control in the
expenditure Of that vast sum. Would it
not be well for the Gardner Investigation
TO b. conducted by some federal grand
jurY, II. AZ Gardner says, I'VE have no
money!
Statictics show that We have lavisherl
more money upon sea power than any
other country, except Great Britain,
whose very life is dependent upon sea
power. Still, Gardner says orr navy IL a

OF Course Why Mott

will good times ever return?" ia.
CURED a pessimist in specializing on
his Christmas expenditures.
OF course they will! Why not?
Here is the why OF the will:
/. There is just as much money in
the country now as there ever was.
2. The farmers have just harvested
one of the biggest crops in history
and are selling at good prices.
3. Federal reserve banks have been
opened and millions of dollars of new
money will be placed at the disposal
of the banks of the country.
4. The banks in turn will haxe plen-
ty of money to loan to big manufac-
turing and other industries for oper
ating capital.
D. These concerns in turn will start
the wheels of commerce to revolving
and millions of unemployed men and
women will return to work.
q. Foreign governments are placing
heavy orders for all kinds of supplies
needed in prosecuting their war.
z. Other orders for American made
goods are pouring in from all parts OF
the world.
s. The financial situation has ella l.
fed, banks are opening up their vaults
and great manufacturing industries
are preparing to open again on an ex-
tensive scale, many of them even now
calling in employees who were laid Of
many weeks ago.
Yes, you can dig down and sperd
that Christmas money without any
fear of where the next dollar is COM
ing from
1t is on the way-and hitting the
high places.

this time on. we expect to see farmers
following this example of field selec-
ton. Some boys have their seed corn
ready for next year. There .ars per
haps fifty bushels of seed corn saved
for sale.
This has been the happiest year Of
my life and ! feel like we have ac-
comDlished more than during any pre-
yious year of my school work. This

that during this time. II continued for

very good knowledge of the principles
and practices Of modern up-to-date

The County Agent and Profitable Ag-
Ticulture

The county agent is part OF
great agricultural movement. This
movement has for its ultimate pur-
pose the building up of a country life
that shall be wholesome, attractive.
cultured, efficient, and profitable
There are many sections of. our coun-
Try today that have one or more OF
these conditions, but the sections
where all are found in happy unison
are comparatively few. The desire OF
chose who are thinking on rural pro-
5lems is that rural communities ev-
erywhere shall be wholesome, attrac--
tive. and cultured, and that each in.
dividual shall receive fair reward
for the labor done and the capital in
vested. The county agent has one
dominant part in this program,
While he may take other parts. h's
primary function is to help make ag-
iculture efficient and profitable. In
proportion as agriculture is made pro-
liable will the community become at
ractive, cultured, and place whole
'ome and desirable to live in.
Just what is meant by a proftahi.
agriculture? Simply this: There
hall be reasonable return on tho
apital invested in farming and rea
ionable return for the farmers lab0-
md managerial ability. A farme.
ike any other man in any other bust

md no more; but what he earns
should be sufficient to give him and

ty for education for his children
With some money in his pocket the
armer will support the church. place

schools with very little outside
