HOMEY PHILOSOPHY FOR 1921 An evening coat and white neck tie don't of themselves matt a civilized any more than they male him a gentleman. A pair of overaui and a battered hat quite often cover a man while he is doing something for civilization far more important than the average man wearing an evening coat and a white necktie can possibly perform In that rig. The young scientist who handles a plow in such a manner that the soil will be just right for a crop of corn greater than the average, has no cause to envy gents in fashion plate clothing. COMMERCIALIZING HIGHWAYS We have all been good-roads o i rs from Maine to California and hundred of million! of dollars of the taxpayer's money h&YC been spent to build what would have been con lidered pertc i roads five years ago. Today our hard surfaced roads are being ion, np bj truck traffic just about as rapidly as our macadam roads were torn up by automobile traffic from seven to ten years ago. It Is a question of how far (ho stale is going to go in providing pcr manenl highways to be destroyed bj overloaded commercial vehicles Ions before the bond issues, which but) the roads, have been paid off.

S. lonator. Later, evidence a matter of court record showed an expenditure of $-00,000. He was tried and found guilty under the corrupt praclice act. He appealed to the V. s. supreme Court and they rendered a decision ihai the act was void. A few days ago Newberry made a defense speech in the Senate. He said "with God as witness, I am in nocent. I was nol in the slate of Michigan during the primary or gen eral election. I did not solicit or ex pend directly or indirectly one single dollar. Contribution!, none with my knowledge or consent. Disburse- n is, none with my knowledge or insrnt." Mr. Oregon Farmer, thru some un cnown miracle you accumulate mough money to permit you a year's residence in California. While you .ire away your friends secure your lominatlon for the high office of u. 8. Senator. A hot light is on. Money s spent like water. The press of the United States carries columns of news on the light, it is read from the hod carrier to the silk stockinged. What manner of man could you be If you did not know what was going On In your state thru the press. Were ou interested enough in this Mirn office, lit' ou did not rjad the papers), to write to some friend for ' t.oiij jou not informed and kept up-to-date by anticipating henchmen, if you were truly llu nnine from, all knowledge of tlu case, in the name of God, I asl what kind of a Senator will you be What of that $200,000? will yo. work if out thru a daily wage, ex cmpiing our I'nited States salary? The Senate seated Newberry by . vote of 4H to 41. It was a par. "bloc" vote excepting nine Etepubl cans who had the courage of theii convictions, and voted not to se. Newberry. Oregon Senators, Sla. tield and McNary voted to seat Ne . berry. Getting back to the "bloc". The basic industry, agriculture, of the Union has toppled in the abyss. Far seeing Senators see the need of unity lor granger legislation and formed a "bloc" that this legislation may be put thru. The President says there must be no "bloc". When should a "bloc" be? When political linen needs washing or first aid to grasping agriculture. i 4 4 I 3 in 1 THE OIL OF JOY . am . A El .. r CI...... 1 XT--, n. mm V B. N.

We have had timely warning that! this country as the world's greatest j oil user, must maintain its place as the world's greatest oil producer.

Pendleton, Oregon The Oregon Stale Chamber of Com merce on January 3 passed strong resolutions in Portland condemning the practice of issuing tax-exempt securities. The resolutions point out that our federal policy of taxation has been radically changed from an indirect to a direct tax by a graduated scale of taxation upon incomes. As a result of these high income taxes, increasing volumes of capital are being invested in non-taxable se curities of federal, state and minor supervisions. Tins diversion or capital from pro ductive enterprise to exempted se curities Is an unfair and serious handicap to business which cannot compete for money against such odds. Investment of large incomes in tax-exempt securities relieves the holders from taxes they would other SrjM be obliged to pay, and, there by, imposeb on those who cannot benefit by such exemption, au un fair burden of taxation. The Oregon State Chamber of Commerce, in its resolution, conclud es by recommending that neeessar.v corrective legislation be provided to remove this present inequitable bur den of taxation and to make all in come, from whatever source, and in whatever form, tear its Just propor tion of the cost of government and remove the discrimination now pre-! v.iiling between government and those- of private enterprise. The demand is becoming insistent that the iniquity or continuing to is sue billions of dollars of tax-exempt bOOtls and securities by investment in which capital can escape all forms of taxation, be corrected. Here is a logical point to begin io reduce tax burdens by making all pay equally. The complete text of the Arms Limit Treaty will soon be ready for publication. Clip this from your pa per preserve it as one of the great upward steps of civilization. Seven hundred years is some length of strife for Freedom. Ire land has won Independence and is of great cheer. So is the British Tommy as he rolls his billet for London's shore. 8 Morrow county and Portland, let us make it Bargain Day. Washing ton state has retained Col. Goethals to expert the Columbia nasln project. Why not the John Day while the Colonel is in our midst? 8 Gov Sproul of Pennsylvania has appointed G. W. Pepper to fill the unexpired term of the late Senator Penrose. Mr. Pepper is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. He was the leading hammer thrpwer of the track team. This alone makes him eligible to a senate seat. a What a field for some genius is the upper reaches of the Columbia Kiver, say east from the Celilo Canal. A modern light draft boat of a good tonnage would revolutionize the In land Kmpire. It would create inland ports for the shipment of the ores, wheat and wool to the marts of the world. A saving in freight rates unestimatable.
