INCREASING USE OF OIL

Steel manufacturers are turning more
and more to the use of oil.
France is urging that big concerns con-
vert their boilers to burn oil in place of
coal. Large users of coal in Paris de-
clared it would take months to adapt the
boiler to the new fuel but it is stated
group of American engineers guaranteed
to make the complete change in six weeks.
AS the advantages of oil as fuel be-
comes recognized its use is being rapidly
extended
Consumption is exceeding production in
the u. S. This situation emphasizes the
necessity of national and state policies
which will encourage development of new
oil fields and the opening of thousands of
acres now withdrawn from use in west
ern states, by the government.

PERSONAL INTEGRITY VS.. POLITI-
CAL IRRESPONSIBILITY

American banking methods are the
most progressive and accommodating in
the world consistent with good business
principles.
One Of the first points of safe banking
is to distribute loans rather than concen-
trating them in few hands.
Honesty. integrity and pride in con-
Quoting safe banking house free from
political and fractional domination by out
side influences are the guiding factors
Of private banking in America.
Facts and figures must govern bank
ing, for the protection of every deposition.
Political banking as advocated by the
Nonpartisan league and similar socialis-
tic organizations, does away with the per-
sonal element Of integrity in banking, its
most essential feature, and substitutes
political irresponsibility which seeks
more to please the favored few than to
protect the interests of the many.
The recent investigation of the little
Scandinavian bank of Fargo, N. D..
which disclosed liabilities of $1,000,000.
with $750000 owed by the Nonpartisan
League activities alone, is an excellent
illustration of political domination in
banking. The Nonpartisan League, the
controlling power in North Dakota, adj

THE NATIONAL FORESTS AND
THE XMAS TREE

The time is here when considerable
speculation will be INDUCED in by
many of our lads as to where and
how they are going to get Chris
mas trees for thier own homes, or a
load of them to sell.
Every year at this time requests
begin to come in to the local forest
offices for the privilege of cutting
one or more Christmas trees from
forest lands, or to purchase them in
quantity.
No one who has not fogotten his
youth will argue against the custom
of having a Christmas tree. What
happy recollections of childhood
are always connected with that Gus
tom!

CLOSED SHOP DOOMED

Seattle which has been one Of the hot
beds of labor radicalism, has had re-
markable change of public sentiment In
the last thirty days.
Those in control of union labor went too
far in their efforts to enforce the CLOSED
shop" order.
The h'i'Sinp trades strike has been
called off by carpenters and mechanics,
with an admission of complete loss. They
lose requested advance in wages; they go
back to an open shop instead of an abb
solutely closed shop which they had when
they struck, and they work half a day
Saturday instead of taking the whole day
as holiday as they had been doing since
early last spring.
The gas strike lost out and the tailors
will meet with the same fate as the car
penters and this applies to other strikes
now under way in Seattle and Tacoma.

tons are backing the stand of the Asso-
ciated Industries Of America which pro

MISJUDGED THE FARMERS

Mr.. Gompers fell into the fatal error of
accepting as fact the thread bare humor
of another generation, which represented
the farmer as slow witted, i'll informed
and unprogressive, helpless victim OF
circumstances, who needed strong leader
nip to lift him out of his benighted state.
The truth is, Of course, that the farmers,
taking them as class, are far better in
formed than any other part of the popu-
lation. They are readers and thinkers,
with an unflagging interest in public af-
fairs and remorseless appetite for facts
They read newspapers, magazines, agri-
cultural journals. the Congressional Rec
ord, economic treatises and other pro-
ducts of the printing press to an extent
far greater than do industrial workers;
and in any local grange, in this or other
states, there are plenty of men and wo-
men--for the sexes are on an equality In
these bodies-who could debate to stand
still the keenest propagandists of radical
unionism.
For another thing, the farmer is an inn
placable individualist, whether in work
ing or thinking or voting. He joins with
his fellows for social betterment and
community service, but his intelligence
and his conscience he iealously guards as
his own. He will analyze theories, but he
acts on facts, because his whole life is
spent in contact with realities Morrow
er, he is the last man to be tempted into
an alliance with a special class, for he is
of all capitalist, property owner,
employer, laborer, Merchant and consum-
err in one.
Above all, he is saturated with Ameri-
canism with the spirit of democracy, with
faith in the sanctity of law and order, OF
home and country. When organized la

Postmaster General Burleson thinks he
is entitled to credit because the deficit OF
the telegraphs under his management
was only fourteen millions. Everybody
knows it could have been made larger
and considering how much talent there
is in Washington creating deficits, per.
haps the Postmaster General is right in
boasting of his moderation Still, if the
telegraphs had been left in private hands

organized, at meeting held at the
court house. The organization was
the outgrowth of efforts made by A.

in preserving for coming generations
the historic land marks, and the his

many OF these land marks in Union
county; with beautiful historic stories
that tell of the trials undergone by
the hardy pioneers, who led the adj
vance guard of civilization into New
Mexico and the Southwest. With
the great incoming Of homesteaders
and settlers the physical nature Of
the country IS changing rapidly and
many Of these historic spots will
exist in tradition only. unless some
steps are taken to preserve a COM

That the road building program in

sorting to the issuance of bonds OF
