MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
So, ,INL CITY ELECTION.

On Friday, December 20th, the
people of Heppner are called to vote
upon the adoption or rejection of the
new city charter.
There should be no need on the
part of this paper to urge the voters
of the city to turn out at this time
and give his measure their endorse
meut The full text of the charter
VIZ published and every citizen Of
the town has had the opportunity Of
informing himself or herself fully
regarding its provisions, and that
any should have erroneus ideas con-
cerning any part of the charter is
something we fail to understand.
This paper is for the passage of
the charter and we should like to
see it receive the unanimous in
dorsement of Heppner's taxpayers.
Much talk is indulged in regarding
the many things the town needs.
Heppner must go ahead, she must
take on new life and there is i'm
pr yements of various kinds that
must be made This talk is heard
daily. A new hotel is urgent, more
street improvements of a permanent
nature should be made, and as
stated in these columns before and
frequenaly, the question of an
abundant and healthful water supply
stands out above them all. The pass
ing of the new charter will empower
the city council to go ahead and
raise the necessary funds by which
these things can be done. No fur
ther progress can be made under the
present charter. 1t is not up to date
and does not keep step with the re-
quirements of the city. In fact it is
to a very large degree obsolete.
Let US be stirred up, then, to the
proper sense of duty and attend the
special City election on December
goth and put the new Charter over
good and strong. If there should be
some few Objectionable features, they
are of minor consequence and none
of them can be put into force except
by ordinance, and all ordinances are
subject to referendum by the citizens
of the city and cannot therefore be-
come laws without their consent.

SERVANTS OR DICTATORS,
WHICH?

The pot is beginning to boil.
The public is awakening to the
fact that the extraordinary powers
it granted public officials as war
measures are scheduled to become
measures.
The common citizen thought that
the railroads were taken over for
period of war and not to exceed 81
months thereafter.
He thought that the telegraph and
, telephone lines were taken over for
duration of war, also the express
companies.
AS war measure he has sub
mitted to all kinds of inconvenience
and increased rates which he would
have never accepted in peace times.
Now that the war is over he is
somewhat surprised to have it
calmly announced that the telegraph
and express companies and telephone
system which have been nominally
under government control as war
measures are to be consolidated and
operated by the government under a
tighter reign than during the war.
There is no longer any thought
whatever of accommodating the pub
lie.
Autocratic power granted officials
as war measure apparently is to be
taken advantage of and saddled on
the people as peace measures with
wider scope than ever.
Again we say as war measures
every citizen cheerfully accepted
every inconvenience. But the men
who were given this taste of power
seem bent on continuing and in
creasing it in peace times.
Since 1776 the American people
have felt entirely able to think, act
ard look out for themselves ano
choose and elect their officials (paid
public servants if you please), not
to dictate to them what they could
and could not do but to carry out the
wishes of the people of this nation.
Apparently this rule is to be
reversed and the paid servants" are
to become the paid dictators" and
the people are calmly advised to &C
quiesce without complaint or ex-
PLANTATION.
Again we say as a war measure
this was OK, as peace measure it
is un-American.
1t will wind up by depriving the
states of millions OF dollars Of tax
revenue under the governmental
ownership program and is the enter

0ill 18th arbitrary decision. He is the
great outstanding character Of all
that the administration has done to
win the war. Baker could have beep
spared without a rifle. Daniels with
out a pang, even Lane without any
sense of disturbance, valuable though
he is especially in reconstruction.
BurleSon's retirement would have oc-
eaSioned universal rejoicing.
Hoover hardly can be thought Of
as part of the administration. Men
like he, Schwab, Ryan and other
" dollar-a-year" men who were chosen
for special activities, are a credit to
the administration without being ex-
aotly part thereof in the political
sense Hoover is unquestionably the
great civilian of the war. But even
none of these could have stepped
from the boat at this time and pro-
duced such violent rock as that
caused by McAdoo's unexpected re-
tirement.
MeAdoo's weak point was his self
exploitation. He capitalized McAdoo
in everything he dis. He was in
tolerant OF criticism, difference Of
opinion or even advice, and permitted
his intolerance to flash into vim
dictivencss. But these uninspiring
qualities were the smaller side of his
makeup, and were overshadowed by
his daring and capacity.
Perhaps his retirement was die
tated by selfish motives, with the
feeling that his presidential candi-
dacy would be regarded more favor
ably if it rested on his past record
rather than if involved in reconstruc-
tion controversies. We have always
felt that he was intensly selfish

CARNAGE Is NOT INNATE.

Those Prussian minded philosoph-
ers, who taught that war is the COM
mon, natural, desired human state,
would have been interested to an
alyze the spontaneous outbursts over
this nation, and the world, when the
armistice was declared.
Shipbuilders, to whom peace prob
ably meant much lower wage,
dropped their tools and paraded with
shouts and tumult.
OF course the mothers of the land
reioiced, but so did those who an
hour before had cheerfully faced the
prospect of year in the front
trenches.
From the cripple on his stumps,
who pushed himself along the mad
streets with four half-gallon cans
jangling behind him, to the bankers
stately equippage with its blaring
horns and waving flags there was CIV
en- the proof of the true spirit of man.
That spirit is one OF good will to
all men.
1t is the spirit that breaks out at
Christmas time.
The spirit that listens with rever-
ence to church bells.
That stands uncovered beside the
open grave.
That respects womanhood, and
loves little children, and sacrifices
that age may toast its shins by the
cheerful blaze of filial warmth.
Many of us for years may have
believed that war was as natural as
our per centum of insanity.
1t is, only our per centum Of in
sanity is not natural at all, any more
than our former per centum of small
pox, and--in more ancient times
the per centum of black death and
cholera.
If the world has finally learned the
lesson that war is disease as pre-
ventable as malaria, and as far out
side the divine order, that fixed the
stars in their places and keeps them
there, the world has made itself
ready indeed for the era when the
saints can say: Now let my spirit
depart in peace"

POTATOES AND THE MOON.

Once more we note that a scientific
cuss has tried to break to pieces the
old tradition that potatoes must be
planted in the dark of the moon.
He planted his in the bright of the
moon, and gathered wonderful
crop.
He naively adds that he fertflfzed
heavily, and cultivated with dill
gence.
Probably as many potatoes will be
planted in the dark of the moon next
spring as in other bygone springs.
The farmers potatoes are a side
issue, by-product, and there IS
neither fertilizer nor tillage to spare
for them. So, If the phase of the
moon will improve the crop pros
poets, be sure the farmer will utilize
this cheap aid.
And at that we don't know but
that the moon may have something
to do with potatoes.
We know we'll that is getting
low goes dry in the full of the moon.
and supplies its due flow two weeks
later.
The moon not only affects the
tides, but apparently the flow of all
earth waters, and the amount and
availability of moisture might have
considerable to do with the success
of potato crop.
Probably the sapient scientist also
Watered his potatoes with the hose.
Old wife tales and the traditions of
the countryside more often prove TO
have legs of truth under them, than
mere wing pin feathers of fancy.

RUSSIAN BEAR IS
GOING UNIFIED, FOOD
SHELF IS TOO HIGH
BREAD ALLOWANCE IN PETRO-
GRAD is REDUCED TO A
QUARTER OF A POUND
DAILY.

PETROGRAD, Jan. 23.-Since the
dissolution of the constituent assembly
and the disappearance of any imme-
diate hope of reconciling the striving
political parties, public attention in
north Russia is centered on the bread
shortage, the lack of practically all
foodstuffs, the breakdown of transpor-
tation and the commercial stagnation
as the result of the closing of the
banks
Moscow, Petrograd and all the larger
cities of north Russia have little bread.
The bread allowance in Petrograd to-
day has been reduced to quarter of
pound daily, and the food commission
has limited eggs to children under
three years, each child to have four
eggs amonth But eggs are not OBJ
tainable at any price. The commits
sion also has limited fresh meat to
children between the ages of three and
twelve with half pound monthly to
each child.
Potatoes have been substituted for
bread at Novgorod and many other
places in north Russia but the cost is
equivalent to Is cent per pound in Pc
trograd and consequently themasses
of the people cannot buy them.
A general suspension of passenger
trains began today in an effort to speed
the transportation of foodstuffs from
Siberia and South Russia to the north.
Members of the railway mems unions
are remaining at their posts trying to
maintain transportation, but ,locomo-
tives and cars are badly disabled and
