Unless the money can be taken from
the taxpayers by process of law there

exposition promoters have made this
clear. No tax, no fair.
We cannot blame them for coming
to this decision. The burden of f.
nanclng the fair by public subscrip-
tion would be so tremendous that
they could hardly be expected to
make the effort. To vote the cost
onto taxpayers is the easy way. If

On the Wrong Track.

The American Federation of La
Dor is said to be facing the worst cri.
Sis in its history. According to re-
liable sources between a million and
a million and a half members have
dropped from its rolls since the first
of the year.
Friction is evident among the
higher ups in labor circles. In the
meantime, the ordinary workman
who pays the dues to maintain the
machine has found it necessary in
many instances to go to work rather
than continue on the prolonged SER
les OF strikes and unemployment that
the Federation has fostered
The American Federation of La
Dor gained its supremacy in its orig
lnal effort to better the living, WORK.
ing and wage conditions of workmen.
1t is losing its supremacy and facing
its downfall due to its un-American
attitude of attempting to deny the
right to work to any craftsman not
a member of one of its recognized
branches, and by its pernicious doc
trine of constantly reduced produc-
tlon per hour at increasing wages.
No organization can survive on
such an unwholeSome basis of op-
Grafton.
Swollen with its own power the
American Federation of Labor will
go the way of all autocratic organi-
cations which attempt to override
the public interest in favor of their
own selfish Observation-Disclosures.

Petitions have been circulated in
Heppner during the week. asking
that the sentence Of Rathie and
Kirby be commuted by Gov. Olcott
to life Imprisonment. We have not
learned to just what extent the peti-
tons were signed, but presume that
a great many put down their names,
some because Of their honest scru-
pies regarding the death penalty, and
others merely signing because they
were asked to. We note. however,
that many have refused their sigma
lures to such document for the very
good reason that they believe that
justice has been meted out TO these
criminals, and that they owe this debt
to society because Of the murder
they committed. As we heard one
man state, society will be far better
on when these men are placed be-
meath the sod, and when it is made
known TO all who may be inclined to
take human life in the state Of Ore
gon that it will not be easy for them
to escape the extreme penalty for
their crimes, We do not believe
much in this "sob-sister' stuff Let
the execution of these criminals
prove a lesson to others.

A move is on foot by different or.
CARNATIONS in Pendleton to take up
the cudgel against the voting of tax
on the people Of Oregon to aid in the
financing Of the 1925 exposition in
Portland This paper has heard but
little expression from the people Of
this county 50 far, but believes that
il the question was put up to them
a this time, the tax would be voted
down here. The burden of taxation
has reached the breaking point with
the most Of the counties Of the state
for the things that appear to be nee

the residents outside Of Portland
from the proposed exposition would
not seem to be sufficient to justify
adding another straw to the load.

Henry Ford, Dreamer and Man
of Action.

Except only the men whose oficia
joingS Of various kinds keep then
constantly before the public like
President Harding or Mr.. Lloy,
George. il is usually some one thins
that brings d private person into tht
glare Of publicity at a particular mo
ment Henry Ford is an exception Il
this rule. Four or FIVE different mat
tiers, not related essentially to one
another, have gwen Mr.. Ford his
place in front page headlines during
the past few weeks.
One Of these relates to the end Of
his contest against Mr.. Newberv for
the Michigan SenatorShip. Another
relates to his remarkable experience
in reaching the maximum output of
Ford cars when most manufacturers
were still running on part time. An
other topic Of general comment has
been Mr. Ford'S experience in the
ownership and operation of ran.
road several hundred miles long. But
IN certain quarters, the most interest
ing of Mr. Ford's recent activities has
been in connection with his plans FOR
the development of the Govern
ment'S unfinished work at Muscle
Shoals Alabama.
During the war, the Government
decided to create a series of water
powers at Muscle Shoals, with an ap-
proXimate capacity considerably
greater than that which is harnessed
at Niagara This water power was to
be used principally for obtaining nit
rogen from the air for explosives in
war time and for fertilizers in time
Of peace.
Mr. Ford's offer has been under
serious consideration at Washington
with the prospect that it will be &C.
cepted. In view of Mr.. Ford's vari-
ous recent activities, the editor of
the Repiew Of Repiews sent the not
ed writer Judson Welliver, to Detroit
TO spend some days with Mr.. Ford. to
learn at first hand his plans and ideas
especially with regard to Muscle
Shoals and the future of American
agriculture. Space doesn't permit a !
resume Of Mr., Welliver's article but
country people will be interested in
the most significant of the writer's
impressions as follows:
Mr.. Ford, with all his dreams and
visions, loves most to dwell upon the
future Of American agriculture. He
wishes to help emancipate the farm
er and the farmers wife from at
least two-thirds Of their present
drudgery.
His opinions on the elimination of
live stock, including the dairy cow,
will not, perhaps, be taken very ser
ously. His firm belief, however,
hat there is an immense field for the
lse of mechanical appliances, with
electrical power or with cheap SUBJ
titutes for gasoline, is in accord with
'vldent tendencies. Hence his de-
ire to develop Muscle Shoals. :
Mr.. Ford IS dreamer. but he is :
lso man Of action whose achieve
1ents have been 50 remarkable that
e IS sure to find the country readily
Interested in his points Of view, how
yer fantastic some Of them NAV

ing. He said he did not put any ia

did not know what made it the color
of Jamaica ginger. The man from
whom he had purchased it, had told
him it was wood alcohol, and it was,
as far as he knew. He said that in
his business he could not keep intoX
icated men from coming into his shop
although he tried to, but that he had
not sold nor kept alcoholic drinks
there. He said that the empty bottles
in the rear shop had been left there
by men who had come in; he had
seen the bottles there frequently.
With his testimony, the evidence in
the case was closed.

WIN Pope wins
Central Figure in Full
Page AID. Of Saturday
Evening Post

win" Pope has stirred the envy of
the world
And all because of a wonderfully
handsome and alluring picture in the
Saturday Evening Post of last week.
Mr.. Pope is in the picture, but, ex-
cept for a few friends to whom he
has mentioned the matter, nobody
knows he is the cook depicted.
The picture is a full-paged adver-
tisement for Swift & Co. and it
shows Lake Cobbosseecontee in all
it's beauty. On the rocky shores Of
The Horseshoe are two men frying
bacon. Anchored nearby is a motor
boat. The men either have been or
about to go fishing. They look as if
they didn't have a care in the world
and so attractive is the. setting that
it is enough to lure anyone from his
happy fireside and try his luck not
only at fishing, but frying bacon on
the rocks.
The two men in the picture are
Winfield S. Pope of Augusta, local
manager Of Swift & Co, and C. H.
Simons of Boston, New England su-
perintendent of the same big corpo-
ration. Photographically, artisti-
cally, piscatorially and gastronomi-
cally, the picture leaves nothing to
be desired 1t is a smashing good
view of typical Maine scenery and
the only regret is that it isn't Ia
belled so everyone may know it is
Lake Cobbosseecontee that is por-
trayed. In addition to the Saturday
Evening Post, this same picture, as
the basis of a Swift advertisement, is
magazines of the country.
