eary.
With tho development of the Uma
tilla project, which Mr. Pierce has
great hopes will be selected as the
site for the power project and which
ho understands that President Roose
velt Is seriously considering, cheap
electrical power will bo furnished to
consumers. Howevor, If La Grande
were afforcted the opportunity to ob
tain the cheaper power, the repre
sentative believes that private In
terests would be able to gat a suffi
ciently large vote to kill tho neces
sary bond Issue If a two-thirds ma
jority vote wero necessary.
Rep. Pierce said he bases his hope
that tho project will be sltuotcd at
TJmntllln on the report that tho soil
at Warrendale Is too shelly to be suit
able. ; In opposing the sales tnx which
will bo voted on at the election on
July 21, ho declares that tho soles
tax Is a consumption tax and will
ruin business In tho border counties
of the state and vastly Increase the
sales by mall houses In Tacoma and
Seattle. The relief to agriculture will
be almost nil, he says, and the In
crease of business and commodity
prices will Increase the income and
Intangible tax and thereby Increase
the money In tho treasurer. Rep.
Plcrco quoted Rufus Holman. state
treasurer, as reporting that there will
bo very little deficit In the treasury
at the endl of two yonrs,
The deflnlto objcctlvo of the sales
tax. Rep Pierce believes. Is to lower
the Income and Inheritance tax.

'Gabriel Over
The White House'
Is Showing Now
A Hevlew
Sensational, yesl but certainly not
fantastic is "Oabrlel Over the White
House" which opened yestorday at the
Liberty theatre for a three-day run.
It ls one of those pictures that every
one ought to see, and yet it Is not
a moralizing, saccharin sentimental
tolt of bosh It pictures the possi
bilities of a president who stands on
his own feet regardless of party. It
is said that the scenario was written
predicting the outcome of the Roose
veltlan administration and, it may
well bo true, since the army of con
struction proposed In the picture nas
become a reality In the citizen's con
servation corps. His solution of the
unemployment problem Is only one
of the predictions that are coming
true today,
Of course, there ls a love story with
Pranchot Tone, the president's secre
tary, and Karen Morloy, the woman
In the White House, but It ls en
tirely subjugated to the activities of
President Jud Hammond, played by
Walter Huston, and has Co part In
Hammond's presidential activities.
The picture Is not only Interesting
but It is exciting, . wth national
"clean-up", taking the audience to
the very heart of Washington, D. C.
