the budget board had taken mi eullro

which the estimates lira based, before
making their compilation of expenses.
"Many rui'tallineiits were made," be
said, "and It should he remembered

Someone once said that too many hearts wore
on them a sign reading, "Not to be opened before
Christmas."
There are very few heart3 wearing this sign
in Bend.
We are quite sure of that.
And tomorrow the proof will appear in the way
the call for the Salvation Army is answered.
It's a worthy cause. We do not have to argue
about that.
And we are not being asked for much.
Let's prove our hearts are in the right place
and open to this appeal.

CHICAGO, Dec. 15. The United

coal miners of America a sweeping
victory when by upholding the
union's claim to the right of operat
ing the checkoff system of collecting
union dues. By its action, the court
returns the recent Injunction granted
by Judge Anderson in Indianapolis
to that court with Instructions to
draft a new Injunction giving the
miners the right to fulfillment exist

union dues by checkoff.
The miners recently appealed from
tho Anderson injunction, claiming
It would mean death to unionism.

Sheriff Roberts Leaves Tonight To

land Man Charged With Aid
ing A. 3. Weston.
(Special to The Bulletin.)
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. IS.
George Stlllwell was arrested here
today charged with second degree
murder of Robert H. Krug near Sla
ters on March 24, 1919. The arrest
was made at the request of Sheriff
S. E. Roberts of Deschutes county.
Sheriff Roberts will leave tonight
for Portland for Stillwell. The data
of his return to Bend with his pri
soner Is uncertain.
The charge against Stillwell, one
of the chief witnesses for the state
in the trial at the 1920 November
term of the Deschutes county circuit
court, resulting in the conviction of
A. J. Weston, rancher and mill work
er in the Sisters section on the charge
of murdering Krug. aged hermit
rancher living near Sisters, marks a ,
new chapter in the most sensational
case ever aired in the local courts.
By the complaint drawn last night.
Stillwell Is charged with aiding Wes
ton in torturing Krug In a vain en
deavor to extort money from him,
and in killing the aged man when
the attempt proved fruitless.
Heled Convict Wcnton
Stillwell's testimony over a year
ago was largely responsible for Wes
ton's conviction, and the defendant
was given a life term In the peniten
tiary. Since then, an appeal through
the state supreme court has resulted
in the case being remanded to cir
cuit court for retrial, now scheduled,
to be held at the spring term in 1922.
At the Weston trial, Stillwell re
lated that he, with Weston and Joe
Wilson, for whom they were work
ing at the Wilson sawmill near Sis
ters, had been engaged In the manu
facture of moonshine whiskey, and
that they bad been discovered by
Krug engaged in this occupation. He
quoted Weston as saying, "We've got
to work some way to keep him from
catching us moonshinlng; if we don't
get him, he'll get us."
Stillwell also testified regarding a
noi made payable to Krug by W. S.
Fullerton, claimed , to have been
found in Weston's vest pocket.

He related In addition that Wes
ton had told him on the morning af

1925"
(Pendleton Tribune)
And so far as the 1925 fair tax is '
concerned, members of the legisla
ture will save the people of Oregon
money If they kill It in special ses
sion, for the measure has not a.
chance of passing the people next
May. Any time thirty or forty heavy
Pendleton taxpayers stay awiyr from
tho polls rather than to oppose ex
penditure of $25,000 for a tourist
auto camp and the necessary money
for city running expenses during the
coming year because of their public
spliitcdness, and that alone, It Is a
pretty reliable sign that the people
of Oregon are not in a frame of mind
to add $3,000,000 to. their tax bur
den, especially af a time like this
and for an exposition which Is to ben
efit Portland 80 per cent and the re
mainder of the state 20 per cent. -
The Tribune takes pleasure in re
versing a stand taken early in the fall
when the economic, situation promlB-
ed better things for this section and '
the state at large, and now goes on ,
record against taxing the outside of
Portland territory $2,000,000 for a,'

lous problems at home. ' "
