lieved that the president-e5e would
like to vacate his seat now and devote
the next three months to preparation
for his executive duties. His sue

A dispatch from Berlin says the

Frederick the Great to be called Great
any longer. He is alluded to simply
as Frederick the Second. king of
Prussia. The Germans may call him
what they please, but he was greater
than any German who ever came
after him, and was probably more of
democrat than any German of to-
day.

Value of the Dollar

A dollar is worth what it will buy
exactly that and no more. 1t is a
standard Of value, but a huctuating
and relative standard. Money is a
medium Of barter. When commod-
tiles increase in price, il simply
means that the purchasing power OF
the dollar has decreased. When the
wage-earner receives more for his
labor, the clothier receives more for
his goods, the farmer receives more
for his product, and the manufacture
er receives more for his manufac-
lures. Neither the intrinsic value OF
labor nor Of any commodity can be
artihcially changed. They maintain
their relative values. If we give more
dollars for one, we must give more
dollars for the other. If the wage
Garner in 1914 received $500 per
day, which would purchase sixty
pounds Of sugar, and if today the
wa~ge-earner is paid 5000, and this
sum will buy only sixty pounds Of
sugar, the relative values remain un-
changed.

ed with prices in 1914 shows an av-

But Is There Discrimination?

The esteemed lone independent
gave space to the following in its
columns last week:
County roads are a burning issue
in the southwest portion of Morrow
county, especially in lone, The
claim made that our county commits
sionerS continually favor Heppner in
the matter of roads is said to be cas-
lily proven.
why the business interests Of
lone and other trading and shipping
points should be sacrificed for the
benefit of the county seat is diff
cult to understand.
To-day it is next to impossible to
get to lone, Morgan or Cecil from
Eight Mile, Gooseberry, OleX and
other prosperous and thriving sec
tions in this end Of the county be-
cause of the bad conditions of the
roads, all due, il is said, to neglect
and ~favoritism BY the county author
tiles.
The independent is collecting da-
ia to prove or disprove these state
ments and will publish the same
when completed
As was stated editorially in the
last issue of The Gazette Times, We
believe that the court has striven to
be fair to all sections of the county
at all times. Generally speaking,
We are of the opinion that if our lone
friends and readers were forced TO
travel the roads in the vicinity Of
Heppner they would find them on a
parity with the roads in the sections
referred to in the independents ar
ticle.
The court sits as an impartial
body. It's members are, at the pre-
sent time made up Of men who are
credited with being above the small
things referred to in the lndepen
dents article. Mr.. Padberg, one Of
the commissioners, is a citizen Of
lone and has large interests in the
lone section. The other commissions
er, Mr.. Bleakman comes from the
south end of the county, at Hardman.
Judge Campbell maintains his off,
cial residence in Heppner, although
he owns a large wheat ranch in the
Social Ridge section.
AT the present time, the through
highways are being given the most
attention. There are more funds
available for this work than for the
feeder roads. Surely lone cannot
charge that she has been discrimin-
ated against in this regard. The cour
has designated but one market ROAD
in the county for 1920. This road
runs up Rhea creek from Jordan Sid.
ing and is a distinct asset to lone,
More than that il will work to the
benefit of the entire county. 1t is on.
ly a beginning in what is planned for
the ultimate in Morrow county's road
construction campaign.
So far as the roads in the outlying
districts are concerned, and they are
Of vital Importance to the successful
growth and development Of the
county, their condition will be but
temporarily improved until such q
time as the county IS financially able
to construct permanent roads.
We are confident that when the
Independent has collected its data
concerning the claims which have
been made aginst the court, it viii
be found that there has been no dis
elimination and that the court ha;
done all within its means to give
everything possible to all parts Of the
county without fear or favor.
