Washington, Nov. THE Ameri-

upon the entire personnel of the
American expeditionary forces. Con-
slider the public entitled to all the
facts which 1t is within the power of
my office to produce. If there pos
sibly exists any basis for such an al
legation. the responsible persons
should bear the odium. Otherwise
definite refutation is desirable"
Senator Watson intcrjected into

A telegram from a Lansing, Mich,
soldier said the writer saw two

The meeting. scheduled today, of

CAN ooRRALs BE KEPT oLEANq

1t Is q debatable question, whether
or not cattle corral can be kept
clean. or course cleanliness VARIES,
In degrees, and in the conception
which different people have of what
to be clean really means.
No one knows better thct the man
who keeps corral how much work
IL would take to clean II of all the
refuse of the animals every day. Yet
that is exactly what would be neces-
sary to stop the incubation of flies.
That also is necessary IL the ordin-
ance which prescribes that such re-
fuse be kept in fly-tight containers
and removed from tho premises
every seven days,
The owners OF cattle have by this
time become thoroughly acquainted
with the provisions OF the ordinance,
which requires that the refuse and
manure be kept In fly-tight contain
ers, and that II be removed from the
promises every seven days. The reg
ulatiOns make no provision for
dry weather or wet weather, 80 that
no excuses on that ground are avail
able. II therefore they can not keep
the corrals clean they will have to
abandon them. That Is all there Ia
to II. It Is up TO the owners them
selves to declare what must be done.
II they observe the regulations they
can continue to use the corrals, II
not, the other remedy alone Is open
to the officials.

lars.
To fight this pest the Owyhee
Ditch company alone has spent sew
eral thousand dollars in bounties,
with but partial success. But this
shows that the ranchers appreciate
that the gopher is a real menace,
that must be fought collectively.
During the past year the Farm
Bureau, on the petition of ranchers,
who discussed the problem at numer-
Gus meetings, undertook to fight the
gopher scientifically, using the best
means which specialists OF the De-
partment of Agriculture have devils
ed. On some ranches almost 100
per cent efficiency resulted. In
others only a partial success was
achieved because on these ranches
the farmers had permitted weeds to
cover portions of the ground making
the discovery OF runways difficult.
Another reason for failure In some
fields was that in stubble where
the gophers had been we'll fed by
the rancher he was not hungry
enough TO take the bait; while In
still others the season was so far
advanced that the gopher had his
store OF food for winter and was
not an active rustler.
II every rancher kept his own
lands clear OF the gopher this pest
would not be community problem;
but Il is patent to anyone that it
Is useless for one rancher TO clean
his farm and have his nelghbor
maintain a breeding ground for these
active rodents. The result OF this
practice Is that whsn the man who
breeds the gophers irrlgates his
land they promptly vacate the prem
ises and board for n while on his
neighbor who has kept his land
clean.
Either the ranchers must all keep
their ranches clean or the properly
designated officials must act for the
general good, and that costs money.
The question then resolves itself into
the proposition OF whether II is
cheaper for. the ranchers to do the
work themselves or to have Il done
for them by the specialist.

THE WESTERN CONCERT

President Harding and his cabinet
are finding themselves in a quandary
in their effort to solve the problem
OF controlling the importation of for
elgn agricultural products The diff
ficulty lies in the exercise OF the
presidential war time powers in time
OF peace. Such use was one of the
things TO which the Republicans OBJ
jected during the campaign and can
not now consistently resort to them
In the meantime, however, the sit
uation has become acute. with a
surplus OF wool, meat and other
ranch products in the country, the
markets are being flooded with
goods from abroad further reducing
the value of the local products. The
President and his cabinet must either
set aside their antipathy to doing
that which they objected to in the
administration OF their predecessors,
or see the basic industry of America
brought to the verge of ruin.
That the President and his cab
met have as the press declares,
"sensed the growers needs" is due
to the activity of a group of West
ern Senators who have manifested a
spirit OF cooperation that is whole
some. For the first time In recent
years. at least, we are reading OF a
united front being made by the mem
bers OF the upper house from the
Mountain and Pacific states, with
tho result that beneficial action is
In prospect.
II the same degree Of concerted
action is followed by the western
senators and their colleagues In the
lower house the West may expect TO
see the reclamation legislation for
which II has been In need for years.
enacted into law. That however will
take time. and In the interim, the
solons can best serve their constltu-
onts by continuing their program OF
concerted action for temporary re-
lief.

CONTROI.IING TnE GOPHER

over In the Willamette Valley the
specialists of O. A. G. after years
OF investigation found that the pock-
ct gophers annually levied u trib-
ute OF more than a million dollars

field crops destroyed. No account
was taken OF damages and loss oc-
casioned by their deprodations upon

such bitches In that region for them
to attack.
In all probability the gophers OF
the Malheur and Snake river valleys
aye as active and have as large APP
petltles as do their brothers and SIS
ters OF the Mistland region, and be-
side they have miles upon miles OF
irrigation canals and bitches open

days during the irrigating season,

acre. This was not an unusual eX-
perience. II has been repeated here

can people that everything can be
righted by law continues the prac-
tice.
Under our form of government
and the statutes enacted there is no
option given the administrative Of
ficials concerning which laws they
shall enforce and which they may
ignore. The presumption, and IL n
justified presumption, is that they
must enforce all Of the laws and
regulations of the government to
which they are attached. That being
true the Council has taken the right
course in ordering enforcement of
the health ordinance. If this ordin-
ance is found defective, then IL will
be time to enact an ordinance that
can be enforced, or admit that there
is no power in the City government
TO protect the health and safety
of the people.
