that the year has been uniformly
good, in spite of harassment by
strikes, and that the present flow of
travel to the South is heavier than
it was at this time last year.
Labor headquarters stated that the
unemployment situation is much
better than it was a year ago, al
though of course at this time of year
there is bound to be some unemploy-
ment. The Salvation Army reported
about the same volume of calls for
charity as that of last year.
Although conditions are far from
stable. the banks reported business
as very satisfactory, just at present.
The Presidents Message
President Harding's second annual
message to Congress delivered last
week deals with urgent domestic pro-
blems in the frankest and most prac-
teal way. The President doubtless
feels a certain challenge from the
wordy Congress bloc and his message
is courageously concrete and is not
glazed with hard, slippery political
g~eneralities. He recommends that
further relief be given agriculture
by providing additional credit machi-
merry through the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau, so that the farmer may not
only borrow on his land but also on
his products and thus draw up on
equal terms with producers in other
industries. Special provision is urged
for livestock credits, So far as econo-
mic opportunities are concerned, the
farmer has always been discriminat-
ed against, and such provisions would
afford him some measure of relief. In
addition to abnormally low prices, the
farmer has had to face the burden of
largely increased railroad rates. The
President thinks that agriculture is
entitled to lower rates, to be made
up to the carriers by a readjustment
of other tariffs, since agricultural
products are the least able of all to
bear the higher rates.
This, however, is only the beginning
of the transportation problem, and the
President thinks that the government
must point the way to their solution.
The coordination of rail rates and
rail wages ought to be confided to
the same body instead of to two
isolated bodies, as is now the case
The functions of the Railroad Labor
Board really belong to the Interstate
Commerce Commission. The Presi-
dent thinks that suspension of rail
road operation through strikes should
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-12-21

be prevented through establishment
in Washington Of a tribunal to which
railway labor and managers may ap-
peal respecting questions Of wages
and working conditions" In the ad-
publication Of such a.fhculties the
Railroad Labor Board is handicapped
BY the fact that it represents three
interests. the roads, the workers and
the public. A body which exclusively
represents the public would better
serve general interest in the settle
ment of such problems. That the
public interest should be paramount
and controlling in the settlement of
strikes the President implies in this
paragraph;
"Since the government assume to
safeguard his (the workers. inter
ests while employed in an essential
public service, the security of society
itself demands his retirement from
the service shall not be so timed and
related as to effect the destruction
of that service"
The message mentions the nation
wide" scandal in prohibition enforce
ment and says that it must be cleaned
up. To this end the President will
call a conference of all state COVER
nors o Rigorous and literal en-
| foreement will concentrate public at
tention on any requisite modifica-
ton"
The President suggested the sub
mission of an amendment to the Con-
stitution prohibiting child labor and
recommended again an amendment
restricting ta-,-exempt securities.
He defended the Administrations
foreign policy, saying the United
States is insistent on American rights
wherever they may be questioned and
denies no rights of others in the as
s~ertion of her own" He pointed out
that the United States has furnished
the world in the four-power pact a
new plan for avoiding war. He sug-
gested that the United States should
help rehabilitate foreign currency
systems and facilitate commerce
which does not drag US to the very
levels of those we seek to lift up
and he thinks that immigration res
trictions should be augmented by re-
q~uiring foreign registration of aliens

ment, both on land and sea, will form
one of the important topics of dis
cussion at the Pan-American con
ference which is to be held in Chile
next March. Some of the nations
have expressed themselves as desir-
ing to know the nature of the propos-
ed limitation before accepting this
as an item on the agenda. In the case
of the Washington conference, a ratio
was figured from the status quo
which would leave the relative
strengths of the American, Japanese
and British fleets practically the
same. The fact that twenty-one ma
tions will be represented at the Chill
can conference will complieate mat
tiers considerably, and the task of
formulating a plan acceptable to all
twenty-one, between some of whom
are the keenest of jealousies and ri
v~alries, will be a formidable one.

HOW MUCH SHALL l GIVE TO THE
CHURCH?

Church support is an obligation.
Church attendance is a duty. Wor-
ship is absolutely essential. And
every honest man and woman dis
charges these duties and obligations
every week. Contributions of time,
talent, thought, and interest are de-
manded. 1t is an honor to give. 1t
is an honor, privilege, and duty to
give. We are Gods stewards. All
we have has been entrusted to us.
1t is our duty to support the church.
The Christian church has created
and added fifty cents of every dollars
worth of property in America.
Every time one goes to church he
should make an honest, conscienti-
GUS contribution to the great work
of the church. When the collection
plate reaches one his honor, SINGER
ity, and character are Immediately
tested and when he, because he ina
gines no eye sees him, puts upon the
plate pennies when he ought to put
pounds brands himself before God

is perfectly willing to pay any extra
VACANT sum to go to a theatre, ques-
tionable show, or suggestive screen
production, and then go into the
House of God and lay upon the

Many churchgoers today are church
cheats, robbing God, soaring their
conscience, and leaving unpaid honest
obligations. The spirit of cheating
soon fastens itself upon some men,
and they become so dishonest that
they actually stay away from church
in order to avoid the test to which
their characters will be put. The
average churchgoer in America gives
three cents per Sunday for the great
est blessing ever bestowed upon a
kind. Therefore, the average church
cheat will have to face the Bar of
Judgment and be branded as a church
fraud robbing God, depriving the
church of her dues, and preventing

ings of salvation to thousands.

POWER PLANT SITE
In BOGUE CHITTO

Fran,klinton, La - Discussion Of
Henry Ford's offer for Muscle Shoals
mas drawn attention to the fact that
there is location il Washington par
lsh for hydro-electric plant that is
capable Of developing enough electric
ity to light every city and town and
furnish sufficient amount Of power to
operate every factory within radius
of 200 miles.
This source of energy is place in
the Bogue Chitto river where a con-
crete dam can be easily constructed,
and several thousand horse power de-
veloped. The river at that point runs
between two hills, thus furnishing an
ideal nature site for dam and hydro
electric plant
The place is near Isabell station
on the New Orleans Great Northern
railroad, and is about sixty-five miles
from New Orleans
A short time before the United
States entered the world war force
of engineers representing capitalists
made extensive surveys with the view
of constructing a hydro electric plant
to supply New Orleans and other cities
and towns in this section with electric
lights and power. About $4,000 or $780,
900 was spent in surveying the pro-
posed site, but the war prevented the
construction of the plant, and the pro-
ject was abandoned
