Ponds, owing. $."06.r.i0, other In debtedness, JUS.SOO. A total of J6T!.- 300. This taken with the school bonds which are virtually a lien on the same property, and we are approaching the JSOO.000 mark going some for a little city of 7000 souls. We know that many who nre not taxpayers are voters for bonds anil many of these people believe that It 1st good policy to do so as they pay no tax. The opposite is the fact, for play the game as you may, the consumer ultimately pays the bill. The increas-j ed expense from high taxes ncccssur- ily following great bond isues, will! bo added to his house rent, to his Sjrn cory bill and all necessities of life. High taxes again will deter urivate en terprise, this will decrease the demand for labor and here comes in the ac tion of tho law of supply and demand. ibor plenty must necessarily cheap en il, but iwhon there is no demand then the commonwealth must step in and furnish at least sustenance for the unemployed. At present we ure faced with tin economic condition which will have to lie equalized before we can hope to re turn to normalcy. Cheap wheat, wool and cotton, do not mean high rail rates, or costly coal, and until these are brought down to the level of the others, or the others boosted up to them, we are not coming back' to nor malcy us we should. As we said ill our opening, our ports of export are in a bad way, so wo can hope for little from them. Hence being little de mand for our products we can hope for no great increase In the price of alternative duciease In rail rates and coal. , It seems to the committee, that In tho face of the figures given in this report; also taking lnlo consideration the individual Indebtedness of our peo ple, that voting future bunds for any thing but actual necessities, should be done only after very careful consider ation. "We realize there are many im provements that are very desirable, but we do not want to so tax our peo ple that those who have only little homes have to go without Borne of the necessities of life to pay a tax for the pleasure of others? Today over $200,000 of tho taxes of Umatilla county nro delinquent. lo you ask why? Look at your increased taxes of state, county, school and city In ten years then note the fall In the prices of all commodities wo have to sell. It not that enough to tell the story ? We.reincniber that tho rental on the lands north of Pendleton was $3.00 per acre. Wo are now told the taxes on some of it Is $4.00 and reaching the point where the taxes will take tho land should wheat continue to decline In price. Wo wish to give you a recapitula tion of the state Indebtedness. Mute June 1, 1921 $24, !)S0, 300.00 Comity. April I, 11121 11,355,02 1.02 School. Juno 21, 1920 7,118,508.08 City.

From the day this store was opcned,wc have endeavored always to extend a cordial, courteous welcome to every man, woman and child honoring us with a call. We have erred, no doubt, and although it is said that it is human to err, it is not human to keep on doing so. ' Our constant effort is to deserve your visits. Whether you have been a purchaser or not is of no consequence. The thousands and thousands of patrons of our 312 stores are demonstrating by their ever increasing loyalty and patronage, an appreciation of the Justice, Equality and Service, which we unceasingly endeavor to extend to all alike. This indeed, is the human stcre! Reliable merchandise alone is not an enduring foundation of business. Policies which will stand, the limelight of public opinion that will create Confidence and Good Will are the founda tions.
