STATE AND FEDERAL
LIQUOR TRIALS LEGAL

Washington, d. C.-Two cases con-
sidered by the government of major
Importance in the enforcement OF ma
tional prohibition have been decided
by the supreme court. In one OF
them, coming from the state of Wash
ington, the government scored a
sweeping victory, the supreme court
holding that both the federal and a
state government can prosecute and
punish the same unlawful act in the
manufacture, possession, transporta'
tion or sale of intoxicating liquors.
The other case, coming from Cali
fornia, the government lost in its con-
tention that in the enforcement OF
national prohibition an executive Of
ficer can impose and collect as taxes
the assessments and penalties impos-
ed by those sections of the revised
statutes which remain unrepealed by
the Yolstead act and which became
law while the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating liquor was not prohibited.

REFLECTION IN ONES TRUST
Belief In Another's Goodness Well
Explained as the Sympathetic
Affection OF Our Own,

Trust is the belief In another's good
ness on the inspiration of your own.
The moment you ask for other grounds
than this, and withhold your reliance
till 1t can rest on external proof, you
cease to trust and stipulate for knowl
edge. On the other hand, II the con
fiding temper Is so dominant as to blind
you to opposing evidence and refuse
the correction of positive experience, II
becomes q weak tredullty. In both
extremes the pure soul breaks with the
clear intellect, becoming Its slave in
the one case, and Its tyrant In the
other. The genuine sphere of trust Is
found In neutral instances, whore out
ward proof Is absent or In equipoise.
and the presnnptions OF right affec-
tion have the undisputed field to them
selves. And even then, 1t Is not mere
arbitrary hypothesis, pleasantly flung
across the gap Of ignorance to veil 1t
with a curtain Of painted cloud; not
mere willingness To live In happy
deluslon till the rough winds OF reality
shall disslpate 1t but rather, the quick
instinct by which the pure heart
recognizes purity. and love catches
the eye Of love. SO that, In Its true
exercise, trust is the intultlve, appre'
henNon of anothers goodness by the
sympathetic affection Of our own

FIGURES ON WHICH
LAGRANDE BASES CLAIM

Considering the messed-up rules
that misgovern football games in the
high school conference schedule Of
the present season, perhaps La
Grande has as much right to claim
the championship as any other team
playing alleged conference games
this season. Where the shoe pinches
Athena is that the Union county
team rose up to consideration of the
conference officials. LaGrande gives
as the basis for her claims, the
following: Claiming championship of
the Eastern Oregon football history
this fall is the great indoor sport
these days. 7 ans, in some instances
that played s:.o g-r,cs are out for the
honors. "In contrast to the wholly
ridiculous claims Of some schools
stands the record of the LaGrande
team" says a statement from Coach
"Skeet" Reynolds 20. A. C.) in an
nouncing the willingness of the La
Grande team to play post season
game with any other team that has
any justice behind its claim. Not
in years have there been so many
teams which We're styled us champ
ions. Principal E. D. fowler, of the
local school has issued the following
statements Of fact concerning the La
Grande team, and upon which La
Grande bases it's claims for champion
ship:
"LaGrande has played seven inter-
scholastic games as follows this year.
"LaGrande So, Imbler O; LaGrande
23, Elgin 0; LaGrande 7, Pendleton
rs; LaGrande 72, Baker 6; LaGrande
So, Union 6; LaGrande 72, Wallowa
o; LaGrande As, Enterprise 0. Total,
LaGrande 329, total, opponents 81.
"Athena our closest competitor, has
played five games and has scored 165
points while 13 points were scored
against her; 106 of these 165 points
were made in the game with Umatilla
when Umatilla was defeated by 1860
score. This left SO points made in the
other four games. These, figures we
think, entitle US, without question, tc
the Eastern Oregon championship"

ASTORIA FIRE LOSS
over s15,O00,OO0
Many Blocks Of the Business
Section Destroyed by
ConfIagration.

Astoria, ORA total loss of $15.000,-
900 or more, some covered by insur-
ance ranging from 40 to 80 per cent,
was estimated by several conservative
bankers after surveying the ruins OF
the fire which nearly destroyed this
city last Friday night.
The increase in the original esti.
mates resulted when the cost Of re-
building streets in the city was taken
into account. This cost alone is esti-
mated at not less than $1.500,000.
Many of the streets in the devastat-
ed area were built on viaducts and this
condition alone is responsible for the
wide sweep Of the fire before 1t was
brought under control.
Twenty-seven blocks Of the business
section of the city were consumed by
the conflagration.
The fire started about 2 o'clock In
the morning in the basement of ThiePs
pool hall, which was near the Bee Hive
department store, on Twelfth and Com
mercial streets. The fire spread under
the streets, which in this section OF
the city were built on pilings. The
fire broke up above the surface in
three or four different parts Of the
city. When once above the surface the
fire spread rapidly in the face OF a
strong wind. The wooden buildings
caught fire quickly and famed up like
tinder. spreading the fire from block
| to block in few moments.

Legislative Cuts
Held Sole Means

A Pendleton special to the Oregon
Journal says the County Taxpayers
league has been informed by it's COM
mittee appointed to investigate local
conditions, that tax reduction must
come mainly from the state legis-
lature, as opportunity for cut in the
county budget is slight.
Judge James A. Fee, president Of
the league and mayor-elect of Pen
dleton, advocated the abolition Of
various state commissions as a means
toward lessening the tax burden.
Discussion of the county budget
showed an inclination on the part Of
the people Of the county to be per-
mitted an opportunity to vote on the
acceptance or rejection of the budget.
Voters in Pendleton twice insuccessive
years have rejected increases in the
city budget. J. T. Lieuallen, James
Johns Sr. and A. C. Funk were named
as committee from the league to
investigate the situation in the sher-
ifs office, in an effort to determine
whether cut may be made in the
salary of that official, inasmuch as in
this county he retains all fees paid in
to the office for service in civil cases.
The sheriff's salary is $2500 a year.
Three suggestions were made by the
leagues committee as possible
avenues for relief from taxation.
These were the working out of plan
for reaching wealth now escaping
taxation or exempt so as to provide
for an equalization of the tax burden;
hard and fast limitation to insure
that when new sources of revenue
are provided, the new revenue will be
used only for the purpose for reduc-
ing the present tax on real property;
more economical state administration
through abolition Of any state com
mission or department not absolutely
necessary to the states welfare.
Several planks in the platform or
which Governor r-elect Pierce was
elected were referred as offering pos
sible avenues of relief or additiona
revenue, and attention of members o
the legislature directed toward them

LEGISLATION TO AID
FARMERS PROPOSED
Bills Introduced in Congress
to Establish Farm Loan
System.

Washington. D. C.--Rural credits
legislation, said to have the approval
of administration officials and propos-
ing to create farm credits depart
ment as part Of the present farm
loan system, was introduced stimuli
taneously in the senate and house by
Senator Lenroot, republican of Wiscon-
sin, and Representative Anderson, re-
publican OF Minnesota.
The two bills, similar In most par
ticulars, would make available for
farm loans total Of s60,0O0,Oo0, dis
tributed equally among the II federal
farm loan banks. The present govern
ment subscription to the - banks
totals only $12,0o0.000. The banks
would be authorized to rediscount farm
paper having a maturity of from six
months to three years.
The proposed legislation stipulates
that farm paper could be rediscount-
ed for national and state banks and
trust companies, incorporated live
stock loan companies, farm credit COM
panies, cooperative credit companies
and other banking institutions.
One bill amending the farm loan
act to provide additional credits was
introduced by Senator Norbeck, re-
publican, South Dakota, and Repre-
sentative Strong, republican, Kansas;
. while another, introduced by Senator
Norbeck and Representative A. ?. Mel
son, republican, Wisconsin, would auth
orize the war finance corporation to
make loans to foreign purchasers OF
American agricultural products.
Both of the bills are introduced by
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion and go beyond the administra-
tion proposals in the recently intro
duced Lenroot-Anderson bill.
