GQHESTD CITY!
Today most people in Union county feel considerable poorer
in purse, for yesterday there was a rush to replenish the county
treasury with tax lnoney. And it costs money to own property.
If anyone doubts this, let him get an equity or two which always
carries with it the burden of paying taxes, insurance and upkeep.
Property is the only thing that is taxed. Practically every
thing else escapes, and the load therefore is tremendously heavy
as every tax notice shows.
There was a time wnen any person who acquired property felt
a safety and a pride in possession, for in those days taxes were not
unbearable, but with the advancing tastes of the public which de
mand this and that all of which takes money from the public treas
ury the pride of property possession has dwindled to quite a degree.
; Lands ,town property, stock of merchandise and live stock can
not be hidden from the assessors' eye and therefore the load of
maintaining the different public agencies fall there.
An income tax law was passed by the last legislature.' It is
a fair 'and honorable law which taxes the incomes of people and
-.thereby will cause a lessening of the tax on real property. But
Oregon seems to have so many people with good incomes and HttlejtanS.,,0o;:m!.
or no real properly, that a referendum has been invoked on thatday. He is making u continental tour
law and next month a special election will be held in an attempt v,n ''
to defeat it.
In other words, me people with good incomes and little prop
erty are making a fight to force real property owners to continue
to carry the tax load, while they who have the incomes can come
and go at will without being bothered by paying for the privileges
of good state, county and city government.
. Think this over before that election is held, you men and .women
who have just gone to the courthouse and paid the last half of
your 1922 taxes.

Gompers comes from the meeting victorious.

Cheapening Slang-Til Say
Two ladies of La Grande met on the street, both were well
dressed, well bred and tarried evuy feature of high class woman
hoodexcept tluir conversation. Slang had undermined their
vocabulary, and when one made a reniaik the other insisted on
- saying, "I'll tell the world," or "I'll say it. does."
What a pity that people wll be m particular about their dress,
their manners and their 'nearinjv and then t.p.scl the harmony of
their being by indulging in c-oiiiiin.it street slang which conveys
no meaning, which gives no emphasis and tends to weaken a con-.
vci'satioii rather Ihi.n strengthen it.
One good mother in I.a Grande who has raised a fine family
of boys, constantly taught them thai profanity was not wrong
but that it showed a laziness of mind and a depletion of intellect.
The same could very properly be said of some of the late slang
such as "I'll tell the world," or "I'll say it does."
