JUSTICE TO THE PACKERS.

II you were to accept at face value
all the charges made against the
meat packers Of the country, you
would conclude they were just plain
highwaymen. The department of
justice has put out accusations so
sweeping that there would seem no
excuse whatever for their existence.
They are caught between the upper
and neither millstones. Residents Of
the large cities blame them for the
high price of meat and farmers
blame them for the low price Of
stock.
In all fairness, the packers are en-

the supply is increased many times.
With a gravity water system there
will be more water sold than ever
before, and We predict there will be
very little kicking at the charges
made, so long as the people can get
all the water they desire.
Mayor Vaughan wishes it distinct
" understood, and he has invited the
citizens of Heppner to meet with the
council on various occasions when
they had the bond issue up for dis
cusSion, that every, detail of this en-
tire procedure has been carefully
gone over BY some of the best en-
gineers in the country. The firm of
engineers handling the surveys for
the city have been substantiated in
their reports by still other engineer,
of repute, so there is no question as
to the water plant itself. The only
question raised, as we have said, is
to section three.
lnaSmuch as the bonds are good
only with the city back of them,
ther. is only one item in the Official
proceedings which can guarantee the
payment of those bonds. That i.
city property, What bonding CON-
pany would accept the paper il il
read that these bonds are to be ma
tured with interest by the proceeds
from the proposed water plant? II
would be like renting room in q
hotel to fellow, that hotel yet TO be
built.
Therefore, the receipts from the
water plant will 60 toward paying the
interest and maturing the bonds, so
far as they will. The balance must
of necessity be made up through tax
alton, if there occurs balance.
In the meantime, through better
living facilities and conditions Hepp-
ner has better homes, a bigger popu-
lation, higher property values and a
better town in every respect. The
water will solve Heppner's future for
all time. Is il worth the effort? Is
a regular town worth as much to
your business as one-horse town?
II you think it is, go to the polls on
Saturday and cast your vote for a
bigger Heppner, which is 100 K Yes.

titled TO more decent consideration.
They have built up a business which
performs a vast service to the na.
tion, and performs it well. The mere
fact that this is a vast business is not
in itself any indictment. Simple
bigness is not evil, altho it does call
for big men.
Taking the country as a whole, the
country would suffer a terrible blow
if the packers business were to be
condemned and wiped out. This
would mean a return to the old
slaughter house for the killing of
stock all over the country. 1t would
do away with the great organized
stock markets which can absorb
trainloads OF cattle, hogs and sheep

without any guide as to the value Of
his product, and would be at the
mercy of the small buyers with lin

system Of marketing stock and SELL

Comments
On the whole the school was the
best that has ever been held in the
State. This is due to the efficiency
of the assistant instructors. All Of
ficers carried out their speciality with
the greatest enthusiasm and atten-
ton to details. The four assistant
instructors were able to increase the
interest in their specialties by relat-
ing personal experiences with the
'26th Division overseas.
Mess Sergeant Frank P. Vayo, 5th
Co., c. A. c., deserves the greatest
credit for the excellent results OBJ
tanned at the school for mess SER
geants and cooks.
Offensive combat for small units"
was substituted for Advance and

All officers and non commissioned
officers were greatly pleased with the
instruction as given during the
school. 1t is believed that the
knowledge obtained will be of the
greatest value at the summer en-
campment and will afford basis
upon which initial field instruction
can be carried on on an efficient
basis.
