MAP OF PROPOSED UMATILLA WALLULA CUT OFF HIGHWAY. HOME PHILOSOPHY POH 1021 There are too many of us who are always saying "I ought to do this" or "I ought to do that." Hoys, don'i get Into that hahit; It's too risky You may easily become a failure through it. The real man says "I shall do this" or "1 shall do that." A TH INK SH1VI.V HYMN When ripeness crowns the fruitful fields, and the bins has took their toll, a million comforts stand re vealed to cheer our inmost soul. And so, this fit i in' hour has come to doff our lids and say, "These Mes sitis' pure from a Higher I'ower in spires Thanksgivin' Day." We ain't been what we might abeen, such weaklings are we, nor realized the state we're in, so closl to eternity! And therefore it tx comics us well, with these poor forms of clay, to sanctify the place WO dwell with a glad Thanksgivin' Day. Contrite because of wrongs we've did, repentatlt knees we bend, well knowin' that no deeds is hid from the blessed Lord, our friend, . . . Considerin' what he'd done for ut,, our best Is but meager pay, Let's tell him so, in harmony plus, this glad Thanksgivin' Day. WHO'D HE SOAK FOR TAXB87 Senator LaPollelte's a clever man but when he talks of laxing ALL WEALTH Id America to the limit, he goes quite a dlslance. The nation's total wealth is esti mated al about three hundred bll lions ( :i(J0, (MM), 000,001) I in round numbers. In Ibis sum are reckoned city houses and lols, farm, clothing, stocks, crops, bridges, public build ings, as well as stocks, bonds, fac tories, railroads and cash. Take the farm Item alone. Tw million odd farms and their build ings, stock, machinery and crops alone figure up (0 well over one third or our total wealth of three hundred billions. More than ten million bouses and lots In cities' and towns will carry Ihe farm one-third to considerably orr one half of our wealth. Then add Ihe value of all national, slate, county and municipal public buildings and public works in America, anil all the public lands and you aivounl for al leasl two thirds If not three fourljis of the nation's wealth of three hundned billions. Now. does Senator La.'olett mean lo tell us thai he would tlOitl tuxes to the sky on (he furms, town and city homes, the crops, die food ami the doMiing of the people'' Would he make the people pay hug" tuxes to the government on Ihe peo pie's public buildings, public work: and public lands? Or does he really mean that he would pick oui the millionaires, the railroads and (he big inanufaclurers and soak them? We'd like to know! -U-i :4fP 1 --sQri AJm 1 josrJh i yw : :rf if I QOOO ii s sii 1ME iumtp.v A DOLE A publisher, about to sell Ihe writ ings of a noted American scolder, In book form, advertises Its contents us "the sham, ol the world."

Kules are made to have exceptions There is no rule where ihere .s no exception. The human heart in the muss Is t-rtuiui and moral and Imable. In only the exceptional human is the heart Hbameful And that's all there U to It. Habit does a lot of things. Habit will even change the heart if it i going to be a habit with the uiiuss of us to look for shame, cusseduess, i Under the federal aid road act signed by President Hardin;, last .veek Oregon will receive as its ap portionment for post roads approxi mately $1,180,000 and $1,325,000 for forest roads. Of the above men tioned amounts one-third is Imme diately available and Ihe remainder liter July 1, next year. In selecting ihe highways in Ore gon to constitute the primary sys- lem which is lo be beneficiary to fed eral aid and keeping In mind the re quirement of an Interstate connec tion, it is assumed that the highway commission will designate the Pacific highway and the Columbia river highway wtih its supplement, the Old Oregon Trail, and Its extension from Umatilla towards Wallula. This will give interstate connection with Wash ington, Idaho and California. These two highways will have a combined mileage of approximately 879 miles. This will leave only a margin of 421 miles to be applied to Other I. lain highways. If the Roose velt highway along the coast should be added this would take up 410 miles, leaving only a remainder of 11 miles to complete the 1300 mile limitation. and general infamy, we may be sure thai the lillh will cling to us and it may even turn into a cancer afflict' ,ng t Ik? whole.
