The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1916-01-20

Our friend Fernsworth of the
Banks Herald has been doing his
share in the fight to reduce taxes, but
there is a limit to all things. When
he advocates the abolishment of the
state university and confining the ag-
ricultural college to certain limits,
we believe he is carrying the fight too
far. Our state institutions OF higher
education are something we can i'll
afford to lose, or hold back with con-
tinual legislation. They are two of
the states best assets, since the tax
payers money comes back many
times in the form Of better citizen
ship. Maybe, as he says, some of the
students do waste their time. This
condition may be found in any school,
and after all it is not the fault of the
school, but of the individual.

fresh meats since the European war
began to more than fifty times the
former amount and other meat pro-
ducts in proportion.
These facts seem to show that
there was no real shortage of meat
producing animals or we could not
have met this great and sudden de-
mand for them but they do not show
the far more significant fact that our
people are eating far less meat than
they did some years ago. A shortage
of meat producing animals could be
roaedied, did it exist, and without
grave concern for the welfare of tEo
nation but an industrial condition
which will not permit the people OF
this country to eat meat is a matter
of supreme import.
The Anglo-Saxon is the only race in
all history which has never been con-
ouered. Itis the race without par
allel in its conquests over savage
man and still more savage nature. 1t
has no superior in its achievements
in arts, science, mechanics or learn
ing. 1t is the worlds dominant race
and it has always been meat eating
and a milk drinking people.
As with an animal, the quality of
a man depends upon what he eats and
nations are but composite of the in
dividual unit. The nation prospers
only as its members thrive, it is
strong in the strength of its people,
and its vigor of its citizens. Any con-
dition which impairs the strength or
health or contentment of its people
at once lessons the vitality of the ma
ton and renders it an easy prey to
predacious neighbors.
America Is one of the strongest and
most virile representatives of the An
glo-Saxon race, a race which was de-
veloped upon a meat diet, and an!
condition which deprives this race, OF
any considerable part of it, of its diet
of meats will serve to reduce 1t to the
plane of the rice eating nations Of
earth and deprive it of its heritage OF
brain and Drawn bred into 1t through
generations of meat eating ancestors
Beefsteak and not bullets; sausage
and not shrapnel; mutton and not
monitors are the needs of this people
for future worth and wealth and that
force which will remove the indus
trial conditions which rob the pocket
of the producer and the dinner pal
of the worker will show the real pre-
paredness.- Rural Spirit.

We Don't Work at All.

With the present agitation for an
ever increasingly short working day
comes the statistician who proves that
by rights the American working man
should work only one day. Follow
the argument closely:
There are by common consent three
hundred and sixty-ive days in the
year. Doctors agree that man
should devote one-third of his time
to sleep and one-third to recreation
Counting one-third of a year as ap-
proximately one hundred and twenty
two days, we have one hundred and
twenty-one days left after taking out
this allowance
Subtract from this the fifty-two
Sundays which are the working-man' S
right, and we have sixty-nine days
left Saturday half holidays consume
twenty-siX of these. leaving forty
three.
One hour off for lunch on five days
in the week make two hundred and
sixty hours. or approximately twenty
two days. which leaves our total
working-time twenty-one days. But
man is entitled to two weeks vaca-
tion in the summer and the six legal
holidays afforded by the state, MAX
ing a total vacation-time of twenty
days. Taking this from our working
time of twenty-one days, we have

THAT FULL DINNER PAIL.

Relying fooliShly upon the full din
ner pail to accomplish for them what
it has so often accomplished for the
Republican party, the Democrats pro-
ceed to pile extravaganza upon eN-
travag;nce and to make tlabby claims
of being mt peace, even when we are
at war. says the Detroit Journal.
For the dinner pail has been filed
with munition money, which presently
must be supplanted by the true coin
age of protected American industry
after the war.
And while the dinner pail is full.
observe with what inflated foods.
This administration promised the
worker lower cost of living. But,
as matter of fact, to the worker
Democratic prosperity is false pros
perity. 1t is mirage.
Every man with dinner pail
knows that. unless his wages have
been increased 20 per cent. under
Democratic munition prosperity, he is
poorer than he was four years ago.
For Wilson rents are from 20 to 40
per cent. higher; the Wilson meat,
the Wilson sugar and the Wilson wool
are 40 per cent. higher, and the Will
son steel and tin and household goods
are from 90 to 40 per cent. higher.
The Wilson bread has advanced
faster than the Wilson wage and the
Wilson taxes have risen higher than
the Wilson prosperity.
Democracy may have. enriched the
munition manufacturer, but has it
enriched the worker, whose cost of
living has increased faster than his
earningsf
If the Administration can re-elect
itself on the ground that the worker
is obliged to move out of his home
into an inferior one, or has to double
up in tenements and to take In board
ers to make up for his loss of eco
nomic advantage under the present
increased cost Of living, then there Is
no reason why the Administration
should not be as extravagant In its
taxes a. Il choosed.

Factory Ready
For a Big Run

Manager J. H. Able of the National
Sugar Manufacturing Co. stated We'd
nesday that few beets would possib-
ly be pulled for a test run Saturday
of this week. The factory is in the
best condition ever in the history of
the business for the campaign. The
new and extensive system put in the
past summer makes the equipment
for handling the beets as modern and
convenient as it is possible for the
company to make, and the beets can
be handled with speed and with a
saving to the company.
The acreage this year is large and
indications are the tonnage and sugar
content will be above that of the
past few years. The sugar content
is running well to one per cent bet
ter than it did the same time of the
season last year.

Victory

Carlson's strength was more
clearly portrayed by the Denver
vote than by any other. In the
capitol city where he was being
fought by several factions, and
fought bitterly at that, he was
given vote of over 1000 to
Nichollson's 1000. The peo-
ple in Denver who stand for the
best supported Carlson and stood
by him to the last.
Carlson's strength over the
state would have been far great
cr had the Denver "GANG" not
been so bitter i'm the fight. Many
people took this opposition to
he true and just and were allow
ed to be led away by the black
mailing charges made by n ccr-
tain Denver publication. Carl
son is stronger now than he has
ever been In his official career
as governor OF Colorado and
the people are with him.

The Denver News speaks edi-
torialIy as follows:
CARLSON'S NOMINATION
(Dcnvcr Ncws)

Dcnvcr Ncws)
We congratulate Governor
Carlson on his denomination.
He made II perfectly clear state
mcnt of his case to the people
that he was in favor of prohibi-
ton and that he was opposed to
the influence and diCtatiOn of a
certain afternoon newspaper in
this city. No one was bcguiIcd
or deceived regarding his staunch
advocacy OF prohibition and ccr-
tainly no one needs to question
further his independence OF the
aforesaid newspaper.
No sound reason existed why
Governor Carlson should be re-
placed ut this time. The theory
holds good to this day, with its
direct primary, that one good
term deserves another. So far
as the great public is concerned,
Governor Carlson has made
good. The people have but to
contrast the condition of Colo
RADIO today to what 1t was n cou-
pie Of years ago to accept this
statement. The Republican ad-
ministration has brought peace
and IA greater measure of con-
tcntmcnt in the industrial field
than has been the good fortune
of Colorado since 1t was a state.
Furthermore, Colorado has
been exceedingly prosperous and
the state treasury is Overflowing.
The party In power is entitled to
credit and 1t gains always by
"rcflcN action" from such IL con-
dition. With Carlson ut its head
the party can enter the cam
paign with n most excellent re-
cord. We trust that the people
In November will indorse his
administration by giving him
much larger vote than they
did two years ago.

OUR OLD FRIEND succuLENT 81
VALVES IN OUR MIDST IN
COUNTLESS NUMBERS.

"R" is again in the names of the
months, so the oyster season is open.
According to all reports the succu-
lent bivalves are expected to be good
and plentiful this year. This should
be matter of rejoicing for the care
full housewife, for oysters are the only
food the price of which has not mount
ed skyward.
Other necessities have been steadily
soaring in cost during the last rs
years, and the war put another bur
den on the back of the consumer. But
oysters are expected to be sold this
winter for practically the same price
as in the past. The food value Of the
oyster is exceptionally high.
1t is digestible, nutritious and whole
some, almost as self-sufficient as milk
It's value is much increased by cook
ing, the addition Of the necessary
starches and fats making it a perfect
ly balanced food
