Cne copy, one year $2.0U One copy, six months $1.00 One copy, three months 75 Athena, Oregon June 4.. .1926 KEEPING COOL "Keeping cool with Coolidge" has left a brown taste in the mouth of the Northwest, as a result of the tiansfer of the President line of five fteamers by Mr. Coolidge's shipping biard to the Dollar interests for $3,500,000 less than other bidders offered for the ships. The Oregon ian's news bureau at Washington likens the closing chapter of a futile struggle of Northwest shipping in terests to save the fast freight lin ers from transfer to the Dollars at San Francisco, .to a "grim touch of humor," when at the last moment Coolidge had decided to intervene, but not until the swift-working ship ping board had filled out and signed the little piece of paper that trans fared the big liners from government ownership to R. Stanley Dollar at a figure which barely covers the cost the government paid for two of the five sister ships. This is about the cleverest stroke in the art of "keep ing cool with Coolidge" we are aware of so cool in fact, that the Northwest has been completely froz en out of her share of Oriental fast shipping service. o ' WOULD MAKE MARS SMILE The American people are paying but one-eighth of their income for taxes whether they are in the high er income brackets, or in the class which does not pay any taxes or file returns. The San Francisco Chron icle puts it this way: "In 1924 the total income of people in the United States was 63 bil lions. Taxes national, state, muni cipal and all the rest, took eight mil lions. This means that out of each $10 you spent, you got only .r, and taxes took $1.25, no matter how loudly1 you may have pleaded poverty. "In 190.1, we gave up only one fifteenth of our income. Now v,e give up more than twice that much. Out of eight working days, the pro ceeds of one day must go to the gov ernment federal and otherwise. "If the small taxpayer could be presented with a bill onco a yvar, showing just how much his taxes amounted to, including not only dir ect taxes but all the indirect tuxes Kkimmcd off every commodity he buys, a howl would go up that could be heard on the planet Mars." RACING CAR KILLS Three deaths" were counted against Yakima's celebration of Memorial day, when Harlan D. Johnson, Sr., 40 died of injuries received as Ira Cook's racing car crashed through a fence at the Washington state fair grounds. Johnson's son, Harlan D. Johnson, 9 was killed instantly. The first death in connection with the an nual racing event occurred Sunday afternoon, when Ira W. Hays, of Au burn, was crowded off the Inland Empire highway while driving to Yakima in his racing car. SEEKS BANKRUPTCY F. D. McCulley, farmer of Joseph, in Wallowa county, eastern Oregon, filed bankruptcy proceedings in fed eral court at Portland, listing debts totalling $133,921. Taxes listed as due totaled $3,212. The largest debt was $50,000 owned by the California joint stock land bank of San Fran cisco. McCulley valued his assets at $131,145, all in real estate and stocks, except $50.

STORE FOR RANCH Fred K. Nordhoff, prominent Free water merchant, has traded his mer cantile establishment in that city for a 490-acre ranch, near Creswel!, Oregon. The KITCAEN OWE Tom King, Washington newspaper correspondent, in commenting on the agricultural relief situation in con gress, says:. The tariff on agricul tural products is to be made 'effect ive,' it is stated. Terhaps this can not be done, but the farmers say that congress must make the ex periment. If the experiment fails, or if congress refuses to act, then there arises an inescapable alternat ive. It must then be openly admitted that the tariff, which works vet-y well in the case of the manufacturer, does not work at all in the case of the farmer who produces more than cun be consumed by the domestic market. That will clear the deck for a frank investigation of the whole protective tariff system. That system may indirectly benefit the former, and its advocates can labor that point to the best possible ad vantage, but they will have to quit claiming that a 40 cent tariff on wheat raises the rricc of wheat in the United States above the Canadi an level," o- The National Republic finds that while disloyal and pacifist organiza tions throughout the country are lighting legislation that would en able the Department of Lahor to ap prehend and deport aliens now in this country illegally, Representa tive Berger, socialist, of Wisconsin, has introduced a bill in the House providing for "the legalization of the admission of aliens who entered the United States without complying with the immigration laws." In oth er words, Representatve Berger pro poses to put the sanction of govern ment on violations of the immigra tion laws by making the alien law breakers legal residents of the Uni ted States. Personal liability vs. compulsory automobile accident insurance we tire for personal liability every time. Compulsory insurance is the reward after the accident, and would have the tendency of making the ordinary person carrying it, more careless. -i At Vermillion, Ohio, they are using huge wine casks for dwellings since the Volstead net pulled the bungs out of the casks.
