M. Person, manager of Wash votes following a heated debate on ington Savings & Loan association, the Bgliting question at the night which moved into new home on dinner meeting of the chamber Second street Monday. Monday Mayor Takas Stand * 4 Mayor Orange Phelps declared that if 8 petition with a sufficient number of names of tuxpayers was presented to warrnnt the council proceeding with the installation of a lighting system, he would favor this action. On the other hand, he said, if sufficient opposition was manifested it would be placed to a vote of the people. The mayor cited the money amounting to ap proximately $8,000 a year paid into the city treasury each year by the business men in the way of an occupation tax and said that he was in favor of giving them something for what they paid. The maintenance, he said, could be handled out of the money paid in through this tax, for which he said the business men have re- eeived little benefit in the past. If the people feel they want it the council is willing to go ahead, averred the mayor. Opposition to the plan was voic ed by E. J. McAlear, who said the proper way to handle it was through amending the charter to allow for the formation of light ing districts. Mr. McAlear said he favored the street lighting and that he would receive benefits, but the time is not ripe for such nil expenditure. The attorney declared that a municipal water system was more important. Think about neces sities rather than ornaments in this time of depression, urged the speaker, who said that it should be put before a mass meeting to find out if the people want it. He opposed putting the burden on all the people on the ground that it was a selfish move. E. L. Johnson said the mayor had changed his mind in regard to the occupation tax, that the tax was levied because the city was unable to pay its running expenses from a millage tax. The expression that the business men should get something for the occupation tax money was a lot of “hokum,” in the opinion of Mr. Johnson. He admitted that if the petition was widely circulated it would have influence on the council. New Building Is Occupied Here By Savings Body The Washington Savings &.

In computing the state levy, it is explained, revenues from all indirect sources such as fees, licenses and the in tangibles and income taxes must be deducted from the total state budget before arriving at the amount to be paid by real property. Under the present status of the income tax, members of the com mission point out, they are at a loss as to whether to account for two year's taxes at this time, in asmuch as the tax is now due on 1929 incomes or to figure that the legislature will amend the act to exempt 1929 incomes from the tax. The same situation exists with respect to the intangibles tax with approximately $1,000,000 collected but subject to refund dependent upon the whim of the legislature. A special session of the legislature within the next month, they say, would greatly clarify the atmos phere. Are You Searching For A New Home?

Dairy Meetings In County Scheduled Dairy Co-operative meetings of importance to ail dairymen have been scheduled for Gaston Tuesday evening in the lodge hall and next Thursday evening in the K. P. hall at North Plains. Arrangements are in the hands of the local units of the association. Matters of im portance to all dairymen will be considered. •meeting of the Dairy Cooperative association last Thursday in the chamber of commerce rooms. The meeting was planned by the board of directors as a means of spread ing information as to the aims and plans of the organization. The efficient assembling and grading of produce are two of the most important features of co operation, according to D. C. How ard, who introduced the speakers. He stated that the old rule of competition being the staff of trade is overworked, and mass buying and selling in industry is taking its place. This in turn leads to the marketing of produce in mass. Cooperative success, of course, depends upon successful manage ment, and a particular type of manager and management is need ed for the dairy industry. It has been said, according to Mr. Howard, that the Portland milk area is the only such dis trict in the United States which does not buy _ through _ cooperation. . He pointed out thaf the producers had met for selfish purposes in that they were looking for better income for their services, but he felt that they were entirely justi fied, and he pointed out that it was not enough to merely get money for the product. The cost of hauling the milk to Portland, he stated, is about 30 cents per hundred as compared with approxi- mately 23 cents in the Seattle area. He asked that the business men who depend in large measu re upon the dairymen for their busi- ness put their shoulders to the wheel and help them. The speaker stated that if the local producers standardize their butter they can at least compete with outsiders in the open market, as they cannot now. The farmers are about the only ones who can stabilize the milk situation in Port- (continued on page 3) Grudge Wrestling Match Here Friday A grudge wrestling match will be fought out between Sam Vang- ler of West Virginia and Joe Gardenier of St. Louis, Mo., at the national guard armory in the Commercial hall Friday night.

His subject was, “Ser vice in Peace As Well As In War.” Good Citizenship Plea Mr. Bynon called attention to the small percentage of the vote in the recent election and insisted that men and women take thetv full part in governmental affairs. Sinister forces are trying to un dermine honest men in office, whom they cannot bend to their will. The speaker urged that every effort be made to stamp out communism and told of the program of the American Legion designed pri marily to build clean young Am ericans. Steps in this are junior baseball, supervised playgrounds, Boy Scouts, safety first and other things in the legion program. The American Legion, according to the speaker, is determined to preserve American traditions. Europe, he said, is undergoing the greatest economic upheave! in the history of man. _____ _ Russia is flooding the markets of the world with materials from confiscated property and produced by conviel labor to raise money to carry on their communistic program. The Soviet government is not concern ed with meeting competition, but in any means that will bring the rest of the world to commun ism. Carry On.
