GANGS WARRING
1 HUUIUN. III., Oct. 27 (AP)
Two warring: factions In "bloody

arms today In a tense atmosphere
created by the slaying1 of two men

In the county.
After the bodies of William Mc
Quuy and Ward Jones were found
early yesterday gungs headed by
Charles Blrger and the Hhelton
brothers were reported heavily
armed and ready to fight to settle
bootleg business quarrels. McQuuy
and Jones were members of the
fllrger faction. Mc Quay's body was
found on a lonely roud riddled
with machine gun. bullets, while
that of Jones was discovered In a
creek. The latter had been shot
four times.
Blrger was reported last night
moving his wife and women rela
tives from his home in Hurrlslmtg.
"We are going to get even and we
are going to work fast", he told
newspaper men. The Ulrger gang
is reported to have an armored
truck and a number of machine
guns. Little Is known of the
strength of the yhelton group. The i
two factions formerly were united
In opposition -to the Ku Klux Klun
but were suld to have split over
liquor operation

a small chance to win at the coming election. Even among
voters who oppose a state income tax there will be many who
will vote against the Dennis resolution. They can see no
advantage in such legislation, since it could be taken out of
the constitution at the next election as readily as it can be
put in at this one. Nothing could prevent that action by
1 the people. Further thajlJhaj;hj,OJiserver belieyes it,is
unwise for us to say what method of taxation shall or sfiall
not be employed five, ten or fifteen, years from now. Times
change. All of. the objections to an income or inheritance
tax may be removed within the next decade. The Dennis
resolution might "prove entirely ineffective and it might
provd equally unwise as the years pass. I

portant for the people of La Grande, however, and should not
be disregarded because it is the last consideration on the bul-!
lot. It is for the $28,000 bond issue or less as may be re
quired for the proposed La Grande armory.
If approved by the people of the city, the bond issue will
be sold and the money spent ONLY in the event that the
legislature approves the La Grande armory project by ap
propriating the other half of the cost of the building. With
the bond issue carried, La Grande will have its share, $10,000,
assured (over twelve thousand having been raised previous
ly), and the state will be asked to provide a like amount. In
other words, for only $28,000 we have an opportunity to se
cure a community building costing $80,000 that will be owned
and therefore maintained by the state. It is an opportunity
that people of La Grande should make the most of, an op
portunity they cannot afford to pass at this time.
Judge Hugh liiady, in his talk concerning the armory bill
before the chamlxir of commerce, pointed out something that
deserves particular emphasis: That state money for an arm
ory such as Lit Grande desires will be spent to locate an
armory in some community in the western part of the state1
if it is not spent here. Our sliaie of the tax money for that
building, located here or elsewhere, will have to be paid just!
the same. It is only reasonable that we should seek to en
joy the direct benefits, as well as indirect, and have a com
munity center so much to be desired for La Grande at this
time. There is hardly an organization, hardly a citizen in
the community, or in the county, who would not profit by
having such a building Tor the scores of excellent uses for
which it would be available.
The tax burden on the people of the city payment of the
$28,000 asked for is so small per individual as to Ihj neg
ligible. Considering the average taxes paid by the average
property owner in the city, the armory would cost him ot
her 3fic a year for twenty years. Or, to state it differently,
the assessed valuation of a taxpayer's property must !c over
$3000 for his share of the armory tax to amount to as much
as $1 a year for twenty years. Surely that is a small item
to pay for a community institution of this kind.
From the report of the committee boosting the armorv
bill there is every indication that it will lm successful at the
polls. It is extremely iniHrtant, however, that it receive
every favorable vote possible because of the size of the ballot
the nunilier of measures being considered, and the fact that
it is the latit thing; on the list. i
