STATE PRESS COMMENT Changing the Name of a Town i (Baker Democrat-Herald) ' I We nolo that Home enterprising residents of McMlnnvillo, one of ' the most beautiful Ihtle cities oh the coast, are siurtinj; a movement .; to cliaiiKe its name. The present name in (hat of a towu In Tennea-, -see. Ii Ih long mid cumbersome, iH : ' often misspelled, unci means noth- " Ins, so (lie proponents of the change sh. They do not miKKenl a new monicker, but would leave that to the people. Herein lies the weakness of their plan. For the people will bo dlvid , eil too, first us lo Hie wiKdom of any change, neeond on the selee ; thin of a new name, if there Ih lo he a new one. There Ih probably no one name upon which they could unite. Yiimhill would he u good ! one, Imt the county already hiiH a Yamhill, which will not yield II k rights, Then there Ih the mailer of ; outstanding geographies, atlufl and , other publications. It would take many yearn lo eHtahllHh the new name. True, McMtnn vlllrr college was changed to Lin field college ! with little difficulty a few yearn ago. It can bo done if sentiment for it is Blrong enough. The McMinnville Incident throws a little IWht on the short sightedness of the founders of so many of our Oregon communities. Portland should have been called Multnomah. Newberg, where this writer spent part of his boyhood, should have been given the niune of the beautiful Chehalem valley of which It it a part, Halem might have kept lis original Indian name. Rnlem or Albany, Oregon, can never he nationally known hecaiiH" there are larger eastern cities of the same names. Tacoma, for In stance; Is known everywhere In the east, but to Portland you have to POEM FOR THE DAY By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS THE WINNING BOY From Llewellyn Park, New Jersey, tills news story has Jim do tin; rounds of the papers of the rutted Stales: "Wilbur II, Huston of the Slate scholarship award, entitling him to lour years' training at any techni cal school or college he chooses and a place In (he Kdfsou organization when he completes his preparation.

"He expects lo enter the Massachusetts Institute 'of Technology nnd will specialize in chemical engineering. His hobby is marine biology. He is Hi years old and a hou of the HI. Rev. S. Arthur Hutitou, Protestant Kplscopal bishop of Washington." How Edison has stirred the hoys To nobler types of youthful joys, Inspired a host to higher things! They now will find their dreaming wings. The keenest boys in every state Have dared to knock at fortune's gate. This wizard man t f Mcnlo lJnrk Has caused the cars of youth to hark. , And every boy who's dared the test Has woke to fresher virile zest; And thousands born for other fields, Whose brains a different harvest yields. Have caught a glimpse of this romance And roused to make a new advance; They've seen through clouds a splash of blue. And life takes on a brighter hue. It gives the world a vision clear Of what our youth should count most dear; It shows that wholesome mental health Is, after all, our richest wealth; That moral standards, sound and clean. Are best supports on which to lean; That 'tis from homes of thought and prayer Youth goes with strength to upward fare. "Tis interesting a preacher's boy , I Ian woke to find this rapturous joy! 1'rom homes of loving sacrifice How often comes the strength to rise! lrom out a bishop's homelike place I here leaps this youth of charming grace. How wholesome arc these sweet home skies I hat nurture youth to win the prize!

OVERHEARD IN CHICAGO .."John, baby's too young to be playing with that machine gun; t.ike it away from him and give him your revolver." THE UNFAIR SEX A woman was arrestrd the oth?r day for shooting her fiance. Her defense Is that she couldn't wait until they were married. NULL ANO VOID The fellow who hailed a sprinkl. Ing cart and te'd the driver that all his water was leaking out. FASHION fslOTE Nowadays when a m.tn hasn't a shirt to his back, he's considered effeminate. ODE TO A SICK PASSENGER You can't eat your cake and have It too. ..KUltor add Oregon or they think you mean Portland, Maine. It would have been much worse if the coin had dropped the other side up and the city had been named Jioslon. But, granting all this, what can he done about It now? Tacoma tried to .change the name of Mount Itaiuier, but at last reports it was still Katnler everywhere but in Ta coma. AlcAiiunviile's movement will be Matched with interest. Out of Date Tax Tystema (McMinnville Telephrme-HegiHter) lo-va proposes to overhaul its en tire lax system, (iovernor Hammfll asserts that under the old law, lux on property ranges all the way from 5 to 10 per cent of the net earnings to more than the entire earnings. In some extreme canes the property tax not only absents all of the earnings but in addition must he paid partly out of capital. The present property tax repre sents an extremely heavy average lax, representing about 25 per cent of the Income In the case of farm lands. In Iowa, Nebraska and South Da kola proposals are before the legis latures for supplementing the prop erty tax by an Income tax. Similar proposals have been made in for mer years hut have never succeed ed in getting ivery far. In .view of changed conditions many other stateH will be compelled to adopt modern tax systems. Eighty years, ago central Oregon was a desolate wilderness. Now there's a gasoline filling station every thousand miles between The Dalles and Harney county, lo say nothing of half a dozen trees.
