II Is to be regretted that the peo-
pie OF Ontario had TO witness the ex-
hibition OF poor sportsmanship that
the Weiser base ball team put up at
the Fair grounds last Sunday after
noon. Such exhibitions are bad for
the game. bad for town and do no

As n matter OF fact there are

use them results more often in wild
pitches than In baffled batsmen. BE

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The most interesting contest In
the May primaries,so far as Malheur.
Grant and Harney counties are con
cerned IN that for the senatorship
representing them In the legislature.
Until last week the people OF on
tario and Malheur county generally
we're acquainted with two OF the
candidates, for Messrs Hurley and
Crandall are both residents of Vale
and were together In the legislature
during the 1917 session when the
first road legislation was adopted,
and the original outline OF state
highways was drawn.
During the past week Charles w.

For example II is said that a NAL
heur county ranch which recently
sold for $4,000 was on the rolls Of
the county for only $4,000; and
many similar instances are related in
common report
What Is the result? Other prop
critics which are on the roll as they
should be are called upon to stand
the burden of high levy and that is
what makes their owners kick" on
high taxes.
The valuation Is the essential ele-
ment in the scheme OF taxation. If It
is too low the money needed must
come from high levy, and there
fore when the valuations are In
equitable the higher the levy the
greater the injustice to men whose
property Is fairly valued.
What the people want Is justice
We believe most people want Just
that and no more. We are not a ma
tion OF tax dodgers. Our present
valuations show too great differ
ence In values and that causes the
distrust that impells the thoughtless
to criticise all public officials, fight
taxation and generally oppose all
methods OF equalizing the levies.
Il is apparent that Ontarlans gen
orally want to proceed to improve
the city with pavement improve
ments, with the purchase of fire
equipment adequate to the city; to
provide ultimately for low pres
sure irrlgating system and retire the
present city warrants which will
soon lose their market value unless
funded.
While this notion is evident. and
while valuations are as low as they
are the 40 per cent limitation Is not
what Il appears to he, II the city's
valuations were on a right basis
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-05-06

the Argus would be opposed to so
great an increase but since they are
not, what can be done but proceed?
If the people want the improve
ments they will vote to change the
limit; II they do not want them they
will not. And even after the limit is
raised the Council could not proceed
to issue the bonds until they are
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1920-05-06

proposed and the specific purpose is
named. SO far as selling the bonds
is concerned there is no need to
worry so far as the paving bonds are
concerned; nor for the fire truck
either. The companies providing
these will care for them; but on the
low pressure water system, that IL

credit for the work he has done,
The Argus is frank to admit that II
believes that Mr.. Ellis with his
ability and personality would be as
efficient and as capable a senator as
Mr.. Hurley. II further believes that
should Mr.. Ellis be nominated that
the Snake River Valley precincts
would be Justly dealt with. We be-
lieve that he is that kind OF n man,
and this section Is not asking for
special favors.
The Argus also believes that
since the situation has come about as
II has, with very evident factional
fighting against Mr.. Hurley In his
home town, that he will be more
careful in dealing with this section
than he was in the 1917 session; for
he realizes that this section can not
be overlooked as II was then.

Mayor Jones proposal to increase
the bonded Indebtedness, while II
may have technical Objectionable
features, yet Il Is apparent that II Is
the only solution of the difficult
position in which the city finds itself
The cause of the present trouble
lies where the Argus has long con-
tended the trouble could be found. In
too low a valuation upon the proper
ty within the city limits, that Is
taken as n whole.
There are some classes Of property
that are assessed equitably while
others are on the rolls at but a
small fraction of their sale values.
This is true not only In Ontario but
in the county and state The people
are Just beginning to be aware OF
this fact; all of the public servants
who have work to do In connection
with administering public affairs
realize It.

Democracy Must Win.

A Democratic victory this fall
means much to the South. For the
past nearly eight years this section
of the country has received some
consideration at the hands of the
national government. During the ad-
ministration of affairs by the Re-
publicans in the years gone by the
South has had practically no voice in
the government. Through the Demo-
cratic administration certain changes
have been made in the affairs of
government that have been distinct
ly helpful to this section and if the
Democrats can be continued in pow
er for four or eight more years, the
South can assert its independence.
We mean that this section will not
have to approach the powers that be
in the North with hat in hand like a
servant or hireling. We can now
grow and market our crops alto
gether independent of the masters
of finance of the North. This was not
possible until the federal reserve
banking system was adopted. This
was Democratic achievement and
will stand as a monument to the
Democratic party. If the Democrats
win this fall, other departures from
the old beaten path will be made,
we are constrained to believe, that
will be equally as helpful to the
South as the change in our fnan-
cial system has been.
A large campaign fund will have
to be raised, if the Democratic party
wages successful campaign, and
every Democrat in Edgefeld county
should be contributor to this fund.
Very few can contribute largely but
every white citizen can make a small
contribution, and should do so when
called upon.

Fight the Boil Weevil.

If favorable weather conditions
continue Edgefeld county can and
doubtless will make large crop of
both cotton and corn this year. Old
corn is practically made and young
corn is being heavily fertilized and
well worked, and the indications at
present are that the late corn will
not disappoint the farmers. That
which the farmers are most concern
ed about at this time is the cotton
crop. While the outlook has seldom,
if ever, been more favorable over
the county as whole at this season,
yet there is a menace already pres
ent far more disastrous than the ad-
verse weather conditions of the past
in July and August. We refer to the
boil weevil, which has already appear
ed in practically every large cotton
field in the county. In some places
the pest is rapidly gaining ground
and is doing perceptible damage,
but upon the whole very little dam
age has been done up to this time.
Now, it rests largely with the far
mers themselves just what damage
will be done by this pest. Experience
nassshown in this county, we do not
know how it is elsewhere, that if the
fallen squares are gathered and de-
stroyed before the weevil emerges
'therefrom, the pest can be held in
check. It, behooves every farmer in
the county, large and small, white
and colored; to persevere to the end
in their efforts to check the weevil
by destroying the eggs in the
squares. In fields where the forms
have been picked up regularly and
destroyed the number that fall de-
screases which indicates conclusively
that the weevil is held in check by
Shis means. Surely then, no farmer
will fail to adopt this means to i'm
prove the situation, at least until a
better means is discovered. Destroy
the fallen squares thereby check the
weevil an increase your profits this
fall.
