The recall of County Attorney
Starr of Wheeler county, did not ap-
pear to be very popular, considering
the result of the election on Monday,
held for the purpose of ousting him
from his office. The vote was very
light and the majority in Starr's fa-
vor was very heavy. We know but
little of the merits of the case over
this way, but it seems evident that
the friends of Mr.. Starr got very busy
in his behalf and succeeded in max

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
Thursday, August 10, 1915.
IT'S TRUE EVERYWHERE.

You ask me what the old town needs ?
1t needs more men-some men of
deeds.
Not men who talk,
Find fault and balk;
But men who'll give the best they've
got
To make the old town what she ought.
You say We need more factories,
More stores, more schools and char
tiles.
l grant it friend,
But in the end
It's men who make them-is that
true?
The thing the town needs most is
YOU.

Lumbermen of the Pacific North
west are greatly disturbed over the
present distressing condition of their
business and would ask Congress to
pass laws for their protection. 1t is
funny how people like to have the
government step in and pull them out
of the pit of their own digging. At
this distance we are want to believe
that the lumber interests are reaping
a harvest of their own sowing. This

INDUSTRIAL OFFICIALISM.

The dragnet of industrial official
| ism is still being extended in Oregon.
A few years ago a small start was
made in the form of a bureau of La
| Dor Statistics, which was extended
over industries by factory and
workshop inspection act.
That was not Objectionable and did
some good, but it did not stop there.
The Bureau got more legislation as
all these bureaus do, and extended its
supervision to any place that en-
ployed two horsepower or over, even
country printing offices.
In the same way the Workingmen'
Compensation Commission was en-
acted to take charge of accident and
insurance risks in dangerous occupa
tions, like sowmills, logging camps,
planning mills and other precarlouo
employments.
But that Commission has secured
more legislation and has issued ex-
ecutive orders enlarging its functions
until ice cream freezers, sausage
mills, peanut roasters, and cream
separators and coffee mills are called
upon to contribute.
The press of the state has resent
ed these extensions of the burdens
upon smaller industries, and the
Marshfield Daily Record copying ar
ticles sent out by this bureau, adds
the following roast, which we print
for what it is worth.
There are newspapers under the
control of organized officialism that
sanction any predatory assumption of
power, and there are radical publica-
tions that welcome any interference
of government with the private citi-
zen or self-supporting industry, but
the Record is not one of them. 1t
says:
''The Industrial Accident Commits
sion is about the worst imposition
business has to deal with. 1t is get
ting to such pass that all man
engaged in business in Oregon has to
do is devote his time to this and that
understrapper who wants to take up
all his time in getting details about
his business and then employ the rest
of his laboring hours in trying to
scrape together enough money to
meet imposition of levies which the
commission makes on his business.
Just the other day The Record was
ordered to contribute $96.0O as its
second share to this outlandish ex-
tortion and when protest was made
and an application filed to have the
name of The Record withdrawn from
the workings of the law the word
sent back was that this could not be
done until July, 1916"
mo wonder investors are begin
ming to shy at Oregon, despite the
fact tit is one of the best states in the
union. No business can thrive when
it has to serve as the nosebag for an
unlimited horde of teat wrestlers."

mers have more grain than they ex-
pected, and others not so much. AS a
result, the wheat teams are now roll
ing into the warehouses. The weather
continues dry and the roads are dry
and dusty and the familiar chuck
holes are making their appearance
to the annoyance of autoists and
wheat haulers.

THE CREAMERY QUESTION.

The creamery question has bobbed
up in Heppner again, and there is
now a proposition before our people,
made by the Hastings Industrial Co.,
of Chicago, that looks good. In or
der to get it more fully before those
who are interested, mass meeting
has been called for / P. NJ, Saturday,
at l. o. o. F. hall, to discuss the mat
ter and hear what it is proposed to
do.
1t had been thought that cream
cry for Heppner had been forever
buried; it had apparently died long
ago, and that it could be resurrected
and made alive again was hardly
thought Of However, the corpse"
has been innoculated with a life-g CIV
ing preparation of some sort, and a
lively interest stirred up for the time
being in getting a creamery for Hepp-
ner.
At meeting on Thursday evening
last, Mr.. McCloy, representing the
Hastings Industrial Co., manufactur-
ers of all things pertaining to the
dairy and creamery business, told an
assemblage of the business men of
this town just how they would pro-
ceed to put us up creamery and
equip it ready for use, after which it
could be turned over to the people
here on a cooperative basis. Mr.. Nc
Cloy had been in Heppner for some
little time, had Travelled about the
county some, and had sized up the
situation quite we'll before making
his business known, and he felt that
he had got hold of the situation just
about right, and had concluded that
there was a splendid opening for a
butter factory. The explanation of
his plans and an elaboration upon
the benefits to the farmers and ranch
ers of such an organization, took
quite little time, but all that he said
was very interesting, indeed. He is
a man of practical experience in this
business, being farmer and dairy
man, as we'll as a business man who is
dealing with the agricultural class OF
people. The business men present
were SO we'll impressed with his state
ments that they thought proper to
indorse his plans, and did so.
The question has then naturally
arisen as to what we will do with the
Morrow County Creamery and Cold
Storage Company. At the CONNER
cial Club meeting on Friday it was
soon ascertained that there was nc
need of doing away with the organi-
zation we now have. This company
is ready to go ahead and do business
when they can secure finances, and
the lack of funds has been the only
reason that the creamery and cold
storage plant is not now built and in
operation. Mr.. McCloy explained how
the present company could sign up
the contract with the Hastings people
in a perfectly satisfactory manner
and the meeting of the stockholders
of the Morrow County Creamery and
Cold Storage Co. is called as above
stated.
1t is needless for this paper tc
elaborate upon the benefits to be de-
rived from the establishment of this
plant in Heppner; that has been wei
presented to our people number Of
times in the past and is we'll under
stood. The thing to do now is to gel
the factory going. We believe goot
plan by which to do this is now before
our people, and we urge all interested
parties to be present at the mas
meeting on Saturday.
