great journalistic loss, since has writ

For a dead issue, the league Of ma
tions is proving itself to he quite a
lively corpse in Washington under the
prodding Of France and other of the al.
lies who realize that some world gov
trning power must he constituted to
prevent infringement OF national rights
in the centuries to come. Since Wilson
dropped out Of the issue TO a great eX.
tent there seems to be a growing con
,iction among Americans that an in
ternational arrangement, hedged about
with restrictions Of nationality, is
much to be desired. France is by no
means alone in believing that the cause
Of world peace will I've greatly ad-

TRYING TO SPLIT ALLIES AGAIN.

Germany is said to desire that the
United States act as arbitrator be-
tween Germany and the allies regard
hg the amount Of the reparations
which the former must pay. Germany
rould like nothing better than to in
folve the United States in a broil with
the allies and thus break up q cordial
relationship which has existed many
Tesrs. II goes without saying that no
natter what sort Of a decision the
United States a. arbitrator should
make the United States would incur
.hs snmity Of both sides instead Of
laying merely the enmty Of Germany
= Al the present time Therefore, il
souid Be- utterly foolish for the Unit

AS VIEWED AT ADAMS
Adams. Ore, Dec. s, 1920.
4on INoat n..anoaiu,,.


Editor East Oregonian:
The discussions concerning athe
county budget in your paper have been
exceedingly interesting. Uhder the
present financial stress II seems to be
the part Of wisdom to curtail expenses
as far as possible without endanger-
ing our future progress lin economy
and efficiency. The 1925 worlds fair
might be educational to those who.
were fortunate enough to finance
trip to the metropolis, but the present
outlook makes it evident that those
who most need the stimulus Of such
an exposition canont pay for the trip.
On the other hand the educational
opportunities that come to our COM
lmunties through the agricultural.
agent and county home demonstration
Iagent bring inspiration and thrift
within the reach of every community
lin tho county. There is an immediate
saving.
For instance in the millinery les
sons in Adams the past season resulted
| in many beautiful hats made from ma
terlal already in the possession of the
ladies at saving of from $500 to SIS
each. Many who did not attend the
lessons received help from those who
were present Another year many
more would avail themselves of the
helpfulness of the home demonstra-
ton agent.
We are in the wheat belt. Several
of the farmers have reported that the
collective buying of gasoline and dis
Itillate made possible through the work
of the agricultural agent has savet
them many dollars.
But the cooperative effort has been
and will be vastly more valuable as
.ithe work is continued. The money al
ready saved to the taxpayer Is many
times the cost of these two agencies
to the taxpayers.
II we can believe the reports of the
lprohibition enforcement agents, the
Financial income TO the county has
been three times the expense to the
county. But the sense of security and
respect for law is invaluable.
1t seems that every self-respecting
law abiding citizen ought TO be WILLING
to sacrifice If necessary to maintain
i law and order. Can II be that few
taxpayers who are violators Of thu
prohibition laws are using this occa
sion to cripple law enforcement fo
their own qualification regardless o
F. the reputation of Umatilla county ant
the unspealtable damage to our NOR
I ais?
II has occurred to some of the tax
payers that our county officials Nigh
Voluntarily reduce their salaries AM
share with other workers the deereas
of wages. No public servant shOul'
a hold his position or perform his dutie
for the money there is In II. Pre-elec
tion pleas are for n chance to serv
the deH people. Let us hope that !
4 uppermost in the thought Of each Of
4 fieer of Umatilla county.
Money never pays for public ser
q vice, but a conciousness that we hav
done our best, with the least possibl
Z discomfortnre To others, TO discharg
our duties is sweet and lasting re

FROM THE PEOPLE
MR. HNKLE is CENsURED
Portland, Ore,
Dee. I, 1921.

- vi tidliu, 7bIt..
Dee. I, 1921.
Editor East Oregonian.
We are glad to see the people of
Umatilla county coming to the front
along the lines of economy and re-
trenchment.
We have for number of years been
overrun with the live wire, the booster,
the boomer and the axe-grinding gen.
try until we now find ourselves almost
up against the "brick wall"
The extremists might possibly go
too far in times like these but il they
should and our public servants don't
like their jobs or salaries they could
without much trouble, satisfy them
selves that in this Country Il is not
considered crime to resign.
In your writeup in Mondays paper
of the Umatilla County Taxpayers Lea q
que meeting and its report presented
by j. T. Hinkl+e chairman and for
merly one of the active men in the
conduct of the affairs of the Teel Irri-
cation District, q kind of a creepy feel
ing came over me for | still have q
faint $4,000 recollection of interest in
the above named project and don't like
TO have the matter mentioned in my
presence.
/ feel sure that the board proceed
ngs of that district while Mr.. Hinkle
was doing some active work for the
district would be of much interest at
your tax meetings in Umatilla county
at this time.
You might get some interesting and
valuable information from the records
in the county clerks office as to slash
ing. Real slashings of salaries and
other matters of economy in the
handling of public moneys and bonds.
From an agricultural standpoint and
umatilla county is an agricultural
county, | feel that we might lose in II
general way should we do away with
County Agent Bennion.
