Who would it benefit, exoept those selfishly interested to seeing tbe projected bridge at Thorn Hollow orossiug fall through with' There is already a bridge at Cayose, five miles above Mission, tbe proposed site of the n.w bridge. From tbe Caynse tridge, two good roads lead to Pendleton; one on eaob aide of tbe river, making it utterly aeelnts for a bridge at Mission only five miles above Pendleton and a radios of I) aud one-ball 'miles of territory norlb of Mission to tbe Wild Horse macad am road which boa cost tbe ooantv thousands of dollars to construct one mile and three-quarters to tbe dividing line of choice between taking tbe maoadani road or tbe liver road into Pendleton. That's all tbere Is to tbe territory tributary to the proposed bridge oiosaing at Mission in compar ison with the territory tributary to tbe proposed bridge at Thorn Hollow wbioh embraoes thousands of aoiea north of tbe river, tbe wheat from wbioh goes to tbe warehouses at Thorn Hollow station besides giving tbe farmers and traveling potllo In gres to tbis part of tbe county direot instead of being oompelled to travel nixleen miles via the C'ayuso bridge when tbe Tboio Hollow crossing is nnfoidable, It is a well known faot that tbe county and Indian Depart ment will not build two bridges, nor la tbere'any need of two bridge at this time. But there la a orying need for one at Tborn Hollow and the people of this portion of Umatilla county, where the need ii urgently fll, should at onoe Investigate and Hud wbo or wbat Interests ara at tba bottom ol (he Mission tridge agitation. One mile mi three quarters nortb by two and a-bolf np and down tba river be tween tbe proposed Mission bridge and the I'endlelon bridge does not compare very well with tbe vaBt territory trib utary to and tbe convenience the Iborn Hollow bridge would serve tbe large number of people. If looatiou of bridges Is to be made lu accordance with the wblnus of automobile speed em or for tbe convenience of a few men wbo bave leased Indian lauds aionnd the Mlsxlon and who make their homes in Peudleton, now Is tbe time to find it oat. If, ou tbe other baud, the general outllo is to be lien i fitted In tbe matter of biidga loca tion, It is well to learn that also. . I ' The following argumeut Is being used by W. S. U'Ken on bebalf of his $J 500 tax exemption wbioh will be voted npon at the oomiug general eleo llou. In it we fall to dud provision wherein it will assist the emiill town drilling improvements from the sale of tonde, inasmuoh as tbe security in tha sales of bonds or other Indebted ness, rests on tbe basil of the taxed valuation of property, aud with the proposed $1500 exemption in effect, at least three-fourths of the property holdings would be alleoled. Mr. U'Ken saysi "Will yon or your readers, or somo of the mortgage aud dlamoud owners who are opposing tbe $1000 Homes Tax Exemption, kindly aud fully an awer the following qneatlnusf "IlliOO Invested In a moitgBge la uot taxed In Oregon, Why should not $1000 be exempt if it is invested lu farm buildings, oowa, learns, laud clearings aud oiabards with wbioh lo make a living? "tlGOO spent for diamonds and jew eli j 'in astnal use' ia by law exempt from tax in Oregon. Why should not $1500 spent lor a dwelling bouse aud furniture 'in actual use' ca exempt from tax? "Tba proposed $1500 Home Tax Exemption does not apply to corpor ations. The great department stores will get nothing fiom tbis, neither will the sky sorapeia nor tbe railroads, tut the little merchant may inve eouietl lug on bis taxes. "Tbn mortgage tax law of Oregou was repealed in lHu:t, aud mortgages bave not beeu taxed since then, in most of the counties, luoludlug Clack mas and Multnomah. ":'a one oan justly oppose allowing the farmer and tbe little borne owner eo amall an exemption while so many wealthy people and oorporationa ara exempt on their mortgages and dia monds not to mention tba mooey ou wbioh they never do pay tax."
