Not Foregone Conclusion.

Republican senator's who have
talked with Harry Daugherty in the
past twenty-four hours about Presi-
dent-elect Harding's attitude toward
the league of nations said today that
they have no reason to conclude that
the President-ele intends to take
the present league as a basis for fu-

continue along the line indicated in

BEAUTIFYING ONTARIO.

The members OF the Commercial
club who decided that TO make On
tario more beautiful would require
civic education, did not discourage the
idea, They want more presentable
Ontario as sincerely as do any of It's
citizens but they have had expert
ence and know that merely wishing
for things does not get them,
No civic body, no city council. can
make city beautiful that is truly
the work of all the citizens. Il is a
lamentable fact that many people
have no pride in their Surroundings.
But Il is not TO be wondered at, for
there are hundreds in every town
who have no pride In their personal
or in anything they do
They lack entirely social sense. and
no amount of education will supply
that deficiency,
However, people of this kind are
not many, and seldom do they own
lhelr own homes, so they may be LETT

,hem. A divided commission will be
little better. Surely in state as
large as oregon It is possible TO Sc
lect a commission Of seven men big
enough, fair enough with courage
enough to make the waring factions
be good by an impartial and con
structive administration of the af-
fairs over which the board has con
troll We would hate to admit that
this is not the case.
The one notable thing I'm the Gov
crnor's address is the mass of detail
ed information that It imparts. Il
displays the fact that the Governor is
conversant with the machinery Of
government what the message lacks
in style II supplies in detail and in
the apparent effort to leave the mat
ters to be considered in the hands Of
the Legislature for settlement II Is
commendable. There is apparently
no pride of opinion in the Governors
mind. and that should result in a
harmonious session.

THE POWER RATES.

According to a lengthy statemcnr
made by the officials of the Idaho
Power company they aver that they
have not earned enough from irr.ga-
tion service to Justify the continu-
ance of that service, aad that II vii,
be necessary for the company to have
increased compensation TO extend
tie service to meet the dmands for
the coming year AMI 1927
There If no denying the fact that
hts request on the part of the cor.
papy will meet with opposition froia
r5lchers under pumJ,ng systems
many of whom believe that the rates
are more than they can pay Az the
same time these ranciarl hove no de-
company; nor does the co.7"us

than those gupplied by The company
II IS hard 70 reach al accurate rom
clusion in his matter, hut since it
will undoubtedly be heard and thoro-
ly discussed before the commissions
of both Idaho and Oregon. there Ia
no doubt that justice will be done
and the interests of the ranchers will
be protected by the constituted
authorities.
II the ranchers could be assured of
n continuance of high priced hay
there is no doubt that they would
temper their opinion of the com
pany's request: but were the prices
of ranch products to fall materially
while the cost of power materially
increased. II takes no second sight to
discern what will happen to some of
the finest irrigation districts in this
valley.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

There was one statement In the
message which Governor Olcott made
To the special session OF the legisla-
ture that may well be noted, II was
that wherein he told the lawmakers
that they would be subjected to ex-
ocutive interference In their dellbora-
tions
In this the Governor struck a
happy thot, In recent years, and In
years that can not he called recent
there has been a marked tendency to
depart from the principles OF repre-
sentative government, and to sub
vert the legislative branch 10 the will
of executives. While In some cases
this interference ON the part of gov
ernOrs has been for the best interests
Of the people that does not Justify
the custom entirely. II Is TO be
hoped that Governor Olcott viii OBJ

The Governor makes formidable
argument to Justify the calling OF the
legislature together and added to the
reasons given in his proclamation

ital punishment To the people and the
amendment of the penal code relat-
ing TO the power of the board of par
dons, and the fish commission con

No TIME FOR EXPERIMENT.

Every report that comes to hand,
be II from governmental depart
ment or a private source indicates a
growing demand for money, in spite
Of the fact that never In the history
OF the world was there country so
rich in the medium of exchange as g.
America today
SO great has this demand become
that It ls made the subject Of warm
ing by the governors OF the federal
reserve banks In the twelve reserve
districts accompanied by which Is a
rise in interest rates on loans that
are rediscounted ny tho reserve
banks.
Banks all over the country are adj
monished TO he careful In making
loans to see to II that the money thus
sought Is used for needed invest
ments and not for non-essentials In
short, the bankers are putting on the
brakes on extravaganza which to q
large degree is the cause Of the pres
ont high cost of living
The demand for money at present
is 80 great that the securities OF some
OF the wcalthiest nations In the
world can be had by Americans az
figures which will net between o
and ten per cent on the investment.
The Anglo-Britlsh loan does that.
and other loans underwritten In this
country are equally favorable.
When this Is true, then how can
the people Of oregon expect to bor-'
row money, should the proposed in
terest bill naming five per cent as
the maximum rate OF interest pass?
They Just could not, that is all. Ore
gon would be stunned by investors.
And that is not all Oregon money
would leave the state ms fast as the
express companies and the registered
mail could carry II away.
Money II timid. II takes to cover

THE POULTRY SHOW.

Next week Ontario will entertain
the prize chickens Of the Snake and
Malheur valleys. The occasion
should be fittingly observed.
Raising poultry is no longer a
mere side-line on the farm, an added
duty for the busy farmers wife on
many of the small ranches chickens
have proven to be veritable mortgage
liftcrs, and steady providers for the
family between the harvests of hay
crops
The hens and turkeys of this sec
tion have added thousands of dollars
to the wealth of this region during
the past few years and the possibili-
ties of the industry have not been
reached.
II has been proven that improved
strains of chickens are far more
profitable than scrubs The latter
possess Just as large appetites but do
not have the egg-laying power, so Of
course II behooves the rancher TO see
to II that he does not have loafers
around to eat their heads off.
TO avoid such conditions those
who are interested in poultry should
study the specimens on exhibition at
the show for there will be many
shown that have money producing
records There are large number
Of fowls in the valley with records OF
200 or more eggs por year, there are
others who have ignored the cold
weather and stayed on the job when
oggs have sold for 75 cents per dozen
or more II is this class Of chicken

chicken fancicr TO possess
This chicken show II being staged
and backed by the Ontario Com
mercial club because the members of
that organization believe and know
that the advancement Of the poultry
business spells prosperity for those
who intellIgontly follow Il. The bust
ness men realize that this II good
country for the chicken business, and
there II ample evidence OF the re-
turns which the raising OF chickens
bring TO many OF the ranchers about
the city.
Ontario has financed the under
taking. The business men thru the
Commercial club have undertaken all
the work Of arranging for the show
and now all that II needed to assure
its success II the participation OF the
ranchers. The larger and more var
led the displays the better, OF course
quality rather than quantity should
be the first consideration,
