What is the matter with man?
The worm in the peach belabored
its way, on and on, seemingly con-
tent and satisfied with plenty to eat,
unmindful of the size Of the fruit
wherein it was living its day of COM
fort and happiness.
Poor man, worried by want and
harried with distress, winds his way
to some soup kitchen for a little
sustenance to enable him to live I'M
til the next day for another round
of worry and CONSERVATION.
What ails man, he who is endowed
with an intelligence and a technique
far superior to that of the worm?
The size of the fruit does not deter
the smart worm in his plowings to-
ward the security and comfort so
necessary to his living.
Man in the face of plenty remains
bewildered and starveS. Perhaps he
has had too much of the prattle Of
the seven lean years and the seven
fat years.? Or, mayhap, he is await
ing the rift in the cloud which will
reveal the "silver lining?
Does man know that the world is
richer today than ever before with
all things needed by him for his
comfort and security readily attain
able? Does man realize that never
before in the history of the indus
trial world has a greater per cent OF
the useful workers been in such
need of the bare necessities of life.
finding it utterly impossible to Sc
cure those things that constitute Sc
| curity and comfort?
If man does not know this and if
the worker of hand and brain will
not bother to educate himself to
know himself, then our children's
futures are indeed pitiful ones. Man
is to blame and no one else for the
conditions which are shaping such a
hopeless future for your child and
my child.
Man himself is to blame, that Is
to say specifically, that man who
persists in the face of want and
misery to keep smiling and
mumbling prayers Of selfish appeal.
And yet, man believes himself to
be smarter than the worm.

Cannon Folders" message OF
Dec. IA is very interesting and
hope you will receive your reward
in heaven. Goodness knows there
is no justice in the world today. It
might have done good to start peo-
pie thinking what actually took
place during the war, if they had
seen the play at the Ohio theater a
few weeks ago called Forgotten
Men" These were actual pictures
on the front lines showing soldiers
bodies blown to bits, others being
stabbed and left to die, and being
wounded and left on the battlefield
to be forgotten.
Not only those left out there were
| forgotten.

would be too many for you as re-
ward for aiding your buddy" in
the midst Of gun fire, no job could
be too good for you today, but there
is no justice, especially for the de-
/ serving.
To receive praise and honor now
one must be a political crook, an
unworthy ruler, unfair employer or
other faker who pockets all the
money that we earn.

BY Patience.
The comments of "a Reader" in
The Times Dec. Is, purportedly an
answer to Patience" who made GER
tain references to debauchery of our
educational system by one highly
esteemed gentleman of the present
state administration sounds like a
misleading hypothesis" of some
amateur attorney-at-law.
AS probably was realized by "a
Reader Patience" like most of
our citizens, is glad to await the
day in court to learn the facts about
the disappearance of the school
fund bonds.
The casual reference which 1
made to debauchery of our educa-
tional system was just a little stab
at one esteemed gentleman within
our official family in this state, who
understands his guilt too well, and
who is also proficient with his own
StabS at our Governor as often as
the opportunity is present. No ref
erence to the bond theft was either
meant or implied.
If "a Reader" will only await the
next campaign in this state this es-
teemed gentleman may easily De
identified by his lukewarm support
of our Governor, his Sallies to test
his own strength, then most likely
as usual his acquiescence to our real
leaders and friends of the people,
Governor McNutt and his loyal sup
porters. He seems to know just
about how far to carry his sort of
opposition.
My synpathies, "a Reader"
shall be with Miss Steele until her
conviction or acquittal on the
charges against her and all facts
and motives are exposed. Even then
they might remain.

I saw in The Times one evening
that there would be no politics
played in these jobs given out to
the unemployed. Mr.. Editor, where
did your reporter get this informa-
ton, and do you believe it? If you
do, go around to these jobs and
see how all these tinekeepers and
foremen get their jobs, and they
were not from the ranks of basket
men, either. I thought these 75-cent
an hour and $120 an hour men
would be taken from ranks of basket
men, if they could do the job, but
I see if you were a basket man,
guess you have not got the brains to
do these jobs. Another thing: Why
pay these timekeepers rs cents or
$120 an hour for sitting around the
fire all day and just calling the
names morning, noon and quitting
time.
I will take any of those jobs for
so cents an hour and give one more
man job. I think that some one
should put a stop to paying any Of
these tin1ekeepers this much and if
The Times will not write to any
official in charge of this work, if
you will just put the officials name
and address in the paper I sure will
write them myself. This is some
thing to look into because We will
all have to pay this money back
some day and why let these dirty
lowdown, grating politicians get by
like this for their relatives and good
friends?

IDENTIFY grows out of malice, envy or
Spite. The attack upon President
G. Bromley Oman and De Paw
university is a gross and indefensi-
BILE ignoring of facts and malicious
perversion of situation.
While in the city the other day
a friend of mind bought Times
and called my attention to the con-
tents of an article which I very
much wanted to believe. But I said
to him, knowing the untrust-
worthiness of the articles against
DR.. Oman and De Paw univer-
sity, I must Hold that in question
until I have other evidence"
I am not a graduate of De Paw
nor am in any way connected with
DR.. Oman, other than having po-
sitions that locate us in the same
town.
I wish we might be able to trust
our newspapers to be honest and
fair agencies of worthwhile news.

By A Times Reader.
I am a reader of The Times and
hope you will put these few lines in
your paper.
Why is it that men who live here
can't find work? I, for one, can't
find a job any place. I have to live
off the trustee.
Another man comes here from a
town in another part of the state.
He gets job in a store, works one
day in the store and five days on
the road. He sends his money home
to his people and doesn't spend one
cent here, for he is living off the
trustees basket. He owns his own
home in the town from which he
came.
I think it is a shame for people
who live here to walk the streets for
work when g. stranger can come here
and hold two jobs.

MORE IMPROVEMENTS NEEDED

The need for further improvements at the Priest
Rapids power plant fully demonstrated dur
ing the past few weeks of high water in the Col
unbia when it has been necessary for the district
to purchase power for pumping.
The improvements made last fall would have
been sufficient in normal years to insure the pro
ductlon OF ample power for pumping as we'll as
surplus for sale. Futher improvements are neces-
sary, however, to enable the plant to produce a
surplus in seasons of unusually high or low water
If the district is successful in it's application to
the state for aid from the reclamation fund.- these
improvements can be carried on in the fall after
the irrigation season has to close. Not only
will they improve the properties to such an extent
that year-around revenue will be received from
the sale of power but work will be provided for
many Of the landowners Of the district who other
wise would be idle after the fruit harvest
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1933-07-13
COURT ACTION CONFUsEs

In the past few weeks irrigation districts of the
state have been faced by condition which may
have far-reaching results. The supreme court Of
the state recently held that deed given by the
county treasurer to an irrigation district for pro-
perty on which irrigation assessments are delin-
quent wipes out all general taxes against the land.
This action has been interpreted in different
ways by officials interested in the matter County
attorneys are, for the most part strenuously OBJ
jecting to the ruling on the grounds that great
amount Of land will be stricken from the tax rolls,
thus increasing the tax burden on other lands
Others hold that while it is important to keep
our counties and our schools functionng, it is even
important to keep irrigation districts
solvent, for without them neither counties nor
schoos-in this section of the country-can oper-
ate.
It is an interesting case and one that has many
possibilities just how it will finally work out will
not be apparent until later in the year.

PRAISE FROM OTHER PLACES

One member Of the recently elected state admin
istration has received praise from other sections
Of the country. w. A. Sullivan, state insurance
commissioner, recently went to New York in
surance matters affecting this state The other day
he received copy of New York magazine, de-
voted to business, which contained the following
editorial concerning him:
From the start of his administration, he formu-
lated definite policies designed to protect the pub
lie and encourage beneficial insurance activities.
From this policy he has never permitted any de-
Walton, and consequently, has built up prestige
that has overapped the border of his own state to
reach out into other states of the Union.''
