Sleep, Baby, Sleepy John D., Jr.

TOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, JR, has again laid
down the laws of good citizenship. Save your
y pennies, he says; don't run an automobile un-
less YOU can afford it, don't have a photograph un-
less YOU have money for "such ~luxuries," work
eight hours day conscientiously, obey the author
tiles, don't violate the speed laws-except possibly
during working hours-and respect prohibition.
Thus the young multimillionaire revamps the re-
dictionary rules of life laid Town by the rich for the
poor for ages, the recipe that has spread the spirit
Of socialism further than anything in the world.
Young Rockefeller is possessed of so much
wealth he cannot count it. Certainly he never
worked and produced it. Doubtless its beginning
rests on thrift and saving by his father, but it
has swollen to countless millions without work.
The youthful Croesus says that thought of six
hour work day is p~uerile. Naturally the man whose
bursting bank account is swelled every minute by
picking off a percentage Of the production Of
countless thousands Of men is not enthusiastic
about cutting down their hours Of work. Every
little bit helps.
His ~allusion to the monograph as a luxury dates
back to the dark ages. The phonograph has saved
the sanity of thousands of lonely women on the
farms and given joy to millions of men and women
from whose sweat the Rockefeller millions have
sprung.
Mr.. Rockefeller's Bible class doubtless sits with
mouths agape but the public Bible class, consist
mig Of more than a hundred million people, will be
more deeply interested if the young man will tell
them how the farmer and the miner and other USE
full workers in the world can get a just return for
their labor, and how the people can prevent the
a~massing of fabulous fortunes by those who don't
work for them.
Having thus expressed ourselves will the spend
thrift possessors OF talking machines now turn on
that charming record entitled, "Sleep, Baby, Sleep"

Harold Dobyns, Govt.
Trapper, Is Promoted

Harold Dobyns. popular trapper Of
predatory animals in the county has
received an appointment as assistant
predatory animal inspector, and is
leaving for Portland to confer with
Stanley Jewett, who is head Of the
work in this section. MI. Dobyns will
be in Portland until Dec. Z. and will
then go to Olympia, Wash. He was
here yesterday for a short time be-
fore leaving for lone where his rels-
tives live. Mrs. Dobyns and their
small daughter, Patricia, will remain
at lone for a month.
Nh. Dobyns is rated as one of the
best trappers in the United States.
The office of the biological survey
which conducts the government trap
ping of predatory animals wrote Mr..
Jewett that the thesis on trapping
submitted by Mr.. Dobyns was the best
that has ever been turned in to the
department.
Since 1916, Mr.. Dobyns has been
trapping in this county, and during
that time he has killed so bears, about
1000 coyotes, 100 wild cats, two lynx,
and though porcupines and badgers
are not on the predatory list, 1000 of
them have been killed by this one
trapper in his service here.
Mr.. Dobyns was busily engaged in
his work when the news of his ap-
pointment came, and this month he
had already caught 81 coyotes. He has
now picked up his traps, and is on
his way to the new job.
"Bolliver" is entering on a long a
cation. Bolliver is the faithful bay
horse that has carried the trapper
over the hills for six years. Mr..
Dobyns says he has ridden Bolliver
enough milage during the last six
years to take him three times around
the world. The horse is not for sale,
the trapper says, he will be turned
out and will spend the rest of his
days as an idler in green pastures.
Mr.. Dobyns says he isn't sure that
he will like the speech-making part
of his new job, but adds with his
characteristic smile that he is "go-
ing to do his best"
Mr.. Dobyns reports that there is
very little snow in the mountains
now. He says deer tracks are rather

Future Outlook for Oregon

yXTHAT policies shall control in the o~rganiza-
wv ton of the next General Assembly and in the
new state administration that will be in con-
troll Of the affairs of the commonwealth for the
next four years?
The people do not want an old-fashioned legis-
lative session starting with fifty thousand dollars
wasted on FIVE and ten-dollar-a-day useless clerks
and experts and ending with an orgie of log-rolling
and midnight sessions for big appropriations with
out Formally of ~rollcalls.
The people do not want four or five hundred new
laws passed creating new Jobs and commissions,
creating new places for pets, and imposing new
taxes, fees, licenses and permanent burdens on the
taxpayers. All candidates have run on economy
platforms and the people demand action.
In California a Governor has been elected who
as state treasurer has resisted expansion policies,
salary raising and padding payrols, and his plat
form is business policies in state affairs, death to
parasites, but retaining all useful and necessary
state employees.
In Washington a new state administrative sys-
TEN has abolished II boards and commissions and
284 state employees in administrative service, max
ing a direct saving Of S1,734,7l9 in the past ten
months, and a yearly reduction in state payrolls of
$l33,962.
A commission OF prominent men was named
early in the year to report on the Washington ad-
ministratiye system. VIII they submit a report Of
any kind favorable to reform on new lines, or will
they uphold the present system which has resulted
in checking state development?
The people demand a cut in the total Of tax rates,
without weakening the efficiency Of OUR state gov
eminent, without abandoning a progressive high
way system or i~mpairing Our educational system.
Washington has increased the efficiency Of state
government by an entirely new system.
Millions of dollars taxes are delinquent in this
state, Single counties have had 10 bid in fifty to
one hundred thousand dollars Of taxes on lands,
and continuing old methods will turn this state over
to the tender mercies Of socialism and communistic
radicalism.
Con6scatory taxes are eating up the prosperity
of the producers and the property of the people.
Continuation Of such policies by an old-fashioned
loot legislature will meet with stern rebuke by the
people.
An inefficient machire-ridden legislature, or
ganized on the old lines, pursuing old methods, with
reckless, careless, extrayagant incompetent lead
ership will not relieve the plight of the people, nor
promote the development Of industries, or bring
settlers to Oregon.
Great promises were made during the campaign

The Farmer Wins the Election

nERHAPS the most significant phase of the
recent election is summed up in public state
ment issued by Mr.. Gray Silver, Washington
representative of the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton, as follows:
"The entire membership of the senate and
house agricultural blocs was returned to con-
gress by a safe majority. We consider this q
full vindication of The American Farm Bureau
Federation's legislative programme, as well as
that of the blocs, and proof that the legisla-
ton was in line with public sentiment"
Mr.. Silver's analysis is obvious, but it tells only
part of the lesson.
The result evidently heralds an awakening of
the public mind to the fact that the real parry in
which Americans are interested as unit is the
American party whose backbone and sole platform
is the prosperity of the man who tills the soil and
keeps the world alive.
Twenty years ago no one could conceive a Dem
ocratic farmer rejoicing at the election of a Repub-
lican to Congress, but likewise twenty years ago
we could not conceive Illinois listening to the opera
in New York as per radio today.
The world moves. Blind partisanship is giving
way to common sense, and we are coming to see
that such matters as the national budget and the
tariff are not properly placed in the sphere Of poll
tics. The farm is in this category of national fac
tors that must be safeguarded and developed re-
gardless of party if the nation is to progress, ant
fortunately the farmer has sensed this fact himself
While the great cities have poked a great deal OIL
fun at the farmer and smiled at his ingenious sim
plicity, seemingly he is the only force in American
life that has displayed enough common sense tc
organize along intelligent lines and sufficient acu
men to make good.
The legislative success of the farmer may be
traced more than anything else to the fact that i
has been based on justice, and is for the commo
good.

Former Premier Orlando is working
earnestly in an endeavor to find mem
bers of his Cabinet who will satisfy
the group forming the majority. so that
he may have a strong Ministry able to
carry out an energetic policy for the
