down TO harmlessness In a few inches,
The Apperson Eight actually brakes to

A CHANCE FOR MUTUAL
BENEFIT.

%4T IS very easy for differ
4 ences to arise between
~ people in the various sec
tions of the county and Pendle-
ton. Usually such troubles are
based on a misunderstanding
due to. lack of information on
the part of one side or the 9TH
er. Human nature is much the
same everywhere and we are
all afflicted with shortcom-
ings.
One of the surest ways of
settling differences consists in
talking them over face to face
and thereby determining where
faults prevail. 1t is always de-
sirable for Pendleton business
men to take advantage of all
good opportunities to visit diff
ferent towns and sections OF
the county and for the people
of adjacent towns to come to
similar gatherings in Pendle-
ton. In this way cooperation
may be assured so that the best
interests of all may be served.
This week offers an especial
opportunity for Pendletonians
to show interest in two differ
ent portions Of the county. The
dedication of the memorial hall
at Weston Thursday evening
will be an event of more than
usual Importance and local
people are invited to attend. At
Hermiston the Hog and Dairy
show will be held with a clos
ing banquet Saturday evening.
To this our people are also bid
den.
If the Commercial Associa-
ton does not see that good del
egations represent the city on
both these occasions it will be
overlooking a fine chance fol
service.

injured in industrial accidents
as well.
The debates in the house of
representatives brought a
unanimity of sympathy as to
the purpose of the measure,
but a wide divergence of views
as to the advisability of placing
the federal government in the
position of being responsible
for what heretofore has been
considered a state matter
purely. This bill provides that
the government shall contrib
ute dollar for dollar with the
individual state appropriations
for this purpose, the appropria-
ton for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1919, being 100000,
for the year ending June 80,
1920, $750,000, and thereafter
$1,O00,0O0.
The contention of the oppo-
nents of the bill is that such
figures merely signify "the
camePs nose under the tent" as
some expressed it, and their
predictions are that the future
holds forth the possibilities of
many millions in excess appro-
priations, and the gradual
abandonment by the states of
their individual vocational
training boards and the throw
ing of the entire responsibility
upon the shoulders of Uncle
Sam.
On the other hand, no one
can deny the justice and the
advisability of retraining dis
abled men, nor can they ques-
ton The fact that federal action
Of some sort is needed if the
burden is to be equitably
placed.
The action of congress will
be awaited with interest.

TIME FOR REVISION.

LIN UR criminal laws are sup
GID posed to provide a pun
" ishment to fit the crime"
but a little investigation will
show that a few changes in the
criminal statutes of Oregon
would not be far amiss.
For instance, three men are
now confined in the Clatsop
county Jail on a charge of safe
blowing and one of them has
already admitted his guilt.
They are accused in the infor-
nation of larceny in a store"
and the maximum penalty un-
der the law for this offense is
seven years in the penitentiary.
The only other charge that
could have been made for this
offense is burglary and the
maximum sentence under that
charge is five years imprison-
ment.
Swallowing is an offense
that is never committed on the
spur Of the moment and IS
therefore always premeditat-
ed. A crime, of this character
is usually committed by a man
who has chosen crime as his
profession. When such offens-
IS occur and the offenders are
captured, the public welfare
