To call the attention of the thinking men anfl women of Malheur County to various problems of the day effecting their prosperity, welfare and happiness is the sincere aim of the Editorial policy of the Malheur Enterprise. What benefits may be derived depend upon what action you take. Talk, writing, thinking must be followed b action to accomplish any results. Are you doing your partT SMALLER PAPERS HIGHER RATES As a result of the recent Congressional investigation of the paper and news print situation in the United States, when some of the largest newspaper men and newspaped owners were called and their testimony taken, it is now the concenses of opinion that all of the newspapers of the country must do two things: First, cut down the size of their issues, and second double the prices of the subscription and advertiseing i..!.. nnm in vnfrnp. Thp (situation is more than serious. More than two a C4 vv-& aaw rw ' thousand papers have been forced to discontinue publication for a time and some of them have ceased to exist. All of the metropolitan paper have increased their prices everywhere, and they can see that even they must eventually cease publication, unless relief is found in the very near future. There are probably few among the readers of the Malheur Enter prise who realize that the paper upon which this issue is printed costs us close io 15 cents per pound laid down in Vale as against a price 3 cents a pound five years ago. We have to beg for it, even with standing orders and futurity orders filed and we have to pay cash for n n n n it 'With paper you can roll the best "Bull" Durham cigarettes.

Oregon WHERE WILL IT STOP? t lTnito Rtatoa TrpHsnrv Denartment has just (riven notice that it has revoked all previous rulings and that it has made a new ruling in the matter of "War Tax" on various articles oi meaicme, ptnumn a nvl tniiwfc articles. The recent ruling is that the tax oi fn.,f nvonnrotinna nnd natent and Dronrietary medicines based upon tne selling price has now been changed so tnat wnen a person v ; packages of cough drops, a one-cent stamp must be attached to each tube of tooth paste. 35 cents and a bottle of perfume for 65 cents a two-cent stamp must be placed on the tooth paste and a three-cent stamp placed on tne penume, a wwi u. cents. In other words our taxes to the Government have been increased to help support the war, for instead of paying at the rate of so much per cent on the dollar expended, we are now to pay so much on each article and that under a law that set a tax on a per centum bases--Everyone1 seems inclined to jump in and get theirs while the getting is so good. SERIOUS MENTAL FOOD The Continental Oil Company, the Standard Oil Company's market ing agent in the Rocky Mountain district, has just declared Six Millions in profits, or two hundred per cent on its Three Million dollars capital, which njelon was cut and distributed on April 30th FREE of all income taxes. This little deal is made possible in the following manner: Each stock holder gets two shares of new stock for each share of the old stock he held. The new stock will pay 12 per cent'. These Riant surplus profits were accumulated on far lower oil and gas prices thnn those now prevuiling. There will be no tax on the distribution or ine new owe, Because the Federal Supreme Court by a Majority of One, recently decided that STOCK DIVIDENDS ARE PRINCIPAL AND NOT INCOME. We are go ing around in a haze, probably you can figue it out. is rs h n FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE ANNIVERSARY l: t,ml.i oil nvor tVin rnuntrv on the 15th of May, veieurai-iuiiB - - . in honor of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the birthdate of Florence Nightingale, to whose vision me worm owes bicu ucu 6. -v., , her vision was indeed the mother of "the world's greatest mother" the Red Cross of "America, and all other organizations of the angels of mency and aid to the injured. Her life, like that of .any other of the noble personages of history, was not one of easy sailing, and it took he years of hard up hill work to accomplish even a part of what she started out to do. She experienced delays thru the lack of cooperation and support. But she went on bettering conditions in the hospitals of England, advo cating and teaching nursing as a science and then her great opportunity !, -vimnn War whpn she was first officially recognized and was given authority to organize the first nursing corps in the battle fields. ' The first training school was established In this country 50 years ago, in Bellevue Hospital, i by a nightingale sister brought over from England, who became known as the Florence Nightingale of America. ."' EASTERN EDITOR PUBLISHER The 1st of May marked a change in the ownership and management of the Independent Enterprise of The Dalles. J. C. Kimball, for several years past in Klamath Falls, has a long newspaper record in the east. We wish the outgoing owner of seven years standing, luck and prosperity in his new yenture in the wood business. The Malheur Enterprise hopes that Editor Kimball, will hold his FACE TO THE EAST, where the sun rises, and where lies our vast domain so in ne'd of development "to make it one of the greatest inland em pires in America. We are patient, but expectant. 4I M ASSUMES EDITORIAL DUTIES Harry L.
