BUSINESS VS. OPPORTUNITY
The present is one time when the
business men and citizens generally
of this section can make their in
fluence felt It takes concerted ef
fort to accomplish far-reaching ef
fect, and that effort is in demand at
this time.
The voters determined that a
tuberculosis hospital should be lo
cated in Eastern Oregon; they reali
ized the emphatic necessity of such
an institution and chose this part of
the state for its home. Many other
cities have put in applications
for the hospital. The citizens of
those places are as a unit in putting
forth the favorable attributes
of their home towns and are doing j house storage to avoid dumping
all they can to influence the state I and cotton crops on the mar

TAXVlLAR REMOVED
"The welfare of the world depends
upon constructive thought originat
ing in the individual mind, and the
dollar is its messenger to a creative
end," says Paul Shoup, Executive
Vice President, Southern Pacific
company.
"The separation of the dollar
what it represents from the indi
vidual to the mass through taxation,
depriving this dollar of the support
of this constructive individual thot,
seeking achievement or reward or
both, is destructive to the welfare of
!the world destructive to. that nc
ition 'which would make two ears of
corn or two blades of grass to grow
upon a spot of ground where only
ona grew before.'
"The dollar, diverted by taxation,
no longer the possession of indivi-
'dual creative thought, loses its crea-j
iTive character.
"The dollar is useful ouly as the
mind of man makes it so. The
destruction of useful initiative must
be necessarily destructive to its use
ful work.
"The taxes paid in the United
States represent an annual contribu
tion of three per cent upon the value
of all the property in this country.
We find that our tax contibutions,
the number of dollars diverted from
their normal course for taxation pur
poses, have been for many years past
increasing out of proportion to the
growth of the saved wealth of the
nation, and out of proportion to the
national income."
