Minnie Mack housemother of
"Merrimack" student home, was
felicitated Friday on hof 9th
birthday anniversary by her stu
dent and other friends. She was
born July 14, 18 &4 in Minnesota,
and at the age of 20 was married
to William Mack.whom she met
first when .she -was In the " first
grade at school.
She attended one of the best
schools In Rochester, and went to
high school at Orinoco, where Mr
Mackj also was a student. In
lS88 4hey went to Montana where
Mack was engaged as a carpenter
on a bridge and building repair
crew for the Northern Pacific;
she was cook for the crew. She
cooked for 15 to 300 men, and
on rush jobs often worked almost
48 hours straight.
S itecklls James J. Hill -
"James J. Hill was our super
Intendent," she recalls, "and
often served him at ray table. He
would sometimes say to me 'Make
your l bill for supplies bigger
order, plenty.',. And I would ans
wer: ' Mr. Hill, your, bill won't
be one penny more than I need
to make it.' "
After two years of work with
the railway, the Macks came to
Oregon to make a permanent
home. They arrived in Polk
county in 189ft and bought
farm in Cooper hollow where
they J lived for 23 years. Their
home was at a Junction of four
school districts: Antioch, Guth-
erie, j Mistletow and Monmouth.
Mrs. Mack served as school dir
ector for many years in the Guth
erie district.
Helps Organize. jCkarc-h
The Macks werejfe?0ecially jict
iv In church work,-, helping with
a rural Sunday school organized
at Antioch by Allen Town; and
with services at Gutherie held by
Rev.: I. N. Mulkey and others.
Later they with many of their
neighbors, gave support to the
Christian church at Dallas.
For 22 years Mrs. Mack cook
ed on a threshing outfit every
summer for C. Lornce of Mon
mouth. "We had a fine crew,
and an interesting group of
workers." she says. "In those
days there was no summer Nor
mal school, so many of the Nor
mal professors got jobs working
on the thresher and worked Just
as hard as any. of the others."
Moving to Monmouth 20 years
ago he Macks bnilt some houses
to rent here, and began keeping
students, although they had not
planned on that field of endeavor.
TheMack house is one of the
mostj popular homes In town for
women students.
In the Monmouth Christian
church Mrs. Mack is one of the
most! active workers, and in soc
ial welfare work for the commun
ity there Is perhaps no other in
dividual who does so much local-
ly As a nurse she has also ser
ved her community well and faith
fully). Blessed with good health
herself, she has done mueh to
help those less fortunate.
In 1918 Mrs. Mack was the act
ive promoter of a Red Cross sale
in Monmouth at which the gross
sum) of $1700 was netted. This
occurred in the month of May, and
the entire sale was made in one
day.
Mr. Mack died in 1920. There
is one daughter, Mrs. G. M. Ben
netti of Indenendence: and two
grandsons. William of Seattle:
and Howard who teaches Smith
Hughes work in the schools of
Independence.

' The Oregon Statesman Says:
It seems almost ridiculous for the
legislature to resubmit the bill for
taxing oleo. . . . We have never
been able to justify that method
of suppressing competition, more
especially because the tax (or its
equivalent in the price of butter)
must be borne by the poorest
classes. ... As farming and in
dustry recover together there
should be no need for the oleo tax
as an aid to butter prices.
The tax wolf, disguised again in sheep's clothing, is prowl
ing at the doors of thousands of Oregon people. . . . This
wolf, eager to gorge himself at the expense of the Con
sumer, is making noises like a gentle pussy cat . . . but
what he wants is to leap upon your table . . . and the
tables of. other people ... to snatch your food away . . .
to raise the cost of living through one of the two essentials
to life ...
To maintain the breath of existence we must have two
things, shelter and food. . . . The oleomargarine tax would
take away one important item of food. ... It would lead
to other food taxes. ... It is selfish in the last degree . . .
a tax of 35 per cent! Think of it J
The Morning Oregonian Says:
To employ the government's tax
levying power to the purpose of
equalizing competition between si
milar products, or to destroy trade
in one to increase trade in the
other, is wrong in principle, and
once applied will lead to many
abuses. . . . The plan, tried else
where, has generally resulted sole
ly in denying a wholesome sub
stitute to those persons whose
means are so limited that they
cannot buy butter.

Off Guard!
Three times the people of Oregon have voted NO on this predatory tax scheme. For the fourth time
a heedless Legislature has sought to hang it around our necks. But the people of Oregon will not
stand for it. They will not permit politics to jeopardize the well-being of a large part of the population,
especially in these trying times.
But we must not be over-confident. No matter how we may oppose food embargoes in principle, our
voice will not be heard unless we GO TO THE POLLS.
It is the duty of every fair citizen to vote, and get his family and friends to Vote, against this vicious
food tax ... a measure which', if adopted, would b e a scandal upon the good name of Oregon.

The tendency of a high tax is to prevent the use of any spread. . . . no

If one ignores human considerations, the bill must still be deemed im
proper because it calls for bad taxation. It singles out one product. . .
The idea sounds unconstitutional and certainly is not just.
Astoria Astorian-Budget
The question at issue involves the right of the legislature to override the
will of the majority of voters. ... In our opinion the move was a very
mistaken one on the part of those who are waging war on oleo.
Portland Oregon Journal (Article by Ralph Watson)
The tax of four cents the pound, which, of course, would be added to the
pound cost of the product, was intended as a deterrent to its purchase and
use by the consumer. . . . The allocation of the proceeds from the tax
among the counties for indigent relief, if any residue should remain after
the costs of administration had been taken out by the department of agri
culture, was intended as a "selling point" to create public sentiment in
favor of the measure.
