This interest is nt variance with a seemingly negligent apathy that has heretofore existed. The swinging of the democrats to support of their legislative candi dates, points to a solidity of the rank and file that in the pant' has been lacking. The meagre support given legislative candidates on the demo cratic ticket in Umatilla county had reached the stage where a candidate rccepting the nomination, did so as a matter of loyalty to party in "fill ing out the ticket," with 'tloJhope of reward other than slaughter at the polls, and there have been instances when the legislative ticket has been incomplete on the ballot. But apparently lethargy has been cast aside and a zip of action has been injected into the present cam paign. Prominent men were nomin ated in the primaries, and live is sues have been espoused. Two of the candidates are Athena men, and both are making an ener getic campaign, meeting the voters of the county and honorably working for the interests of the party. C. L. Mc Fadden, candidate for representative is endowed with qualifications, which in event of his election, would give results in the legislature.. He is one of Athena's leading business men, and has served as a member of the city council. He served two years overseas in the war with the rank of Lieutenant and was recommended for a captaincy, has been commander of the local Legion post, and is active in legion affairs generally. He is a graduate of 0. A. C, and the son of the late Judge W. S. McFadden, of Corvallis. ' The other Athena candidate, E. C. sports is reflected in the ease with which stadiums are acquired often to the hinderance of securing dorms and other necessary buildings on college campuses. o Hermiston Hog and Dairy show, today and tomorrow; Weston potato show in the offing. o Apparently Governor Hartley has won but has it done, the University of Washington any good? o "To Federate or not to Federate," is now the caption, rather than to seed or not to seed.

Founder of Quebec A beautiful snonuiuent to Samuel De Champlaln, the French navigator who founded Quebec In 1808, has been erected ou the shore of Lake Coucji Ichlng at OrIia,.Ont. That tiwrf. Is near the site of Cahlague, the village of the Huron Indians,, where the great explorer passed the fall and winter of 1015. The monument Is erected to mark the spot where the white race first entered what Is now the province of Ontario, and to serve as a "symbol of good will between the French and English-speaking people of Canada." It was not many years ago that an other memorial to De Champlaln wag erected on the shore of the beautiful lake that bears his name, at Crown Point, N. Y. The Churches .Cnurch of Christ The winter will soon be upon us and let us not i wait until the extreme weather begins sto start our church attendance. The church going habit is much the same as any other habit it can be broken. It is excellent to break a bad habit; also just as excel lent to form a good habit. Why not break the habit of non-attendance and form the ' habit of attendance at the House of the Lord ? You need the church and the church needs you. The Sunday school has interesting classes and interested teachers. The sing- Prestbye, for state senator, is well known to the people of Umatilla county, before whom he has delivered addresses on political issues. He is an attorney, a member of the law firm of Watts & Prestbye. He came ! ing will do us good. The Lord's Table is a thing that will ever keep Christ in our minds. The sermon will help us on to better living. The spirit of worship will strengthen our souls. The sermon for Sunday morn- to Athena from Whitefish, Montana, ing will be: "God." The text for .the where he was city attorney for a number of years. He was active in the defent of the proposed county school unit plan in this county two years ago. He is a graduate of the University of Montana. o . A communication from the State Market Agent relative to grading and marking of sacks by the grower, will be found in another column of to day's Press. To control disease and dcteiioiation in the Oregon potato crop, straight laws for regulation are now in effect. In conformity with the state's effort to raise the quality of potato product the U. S. Department of Agriculture announces that revis ed potato grades will :on be given out, but officials state that it is not thought there will be any material changes. There is considerable agi tation by Oregon growers for changes in the present state potato law and they ask that the matter lo taken up at the incoming legislature. Oregon glowers say that Washington stock is shipped in hero in sacks branded "no grade" which is really the "com mercial'' grade of Washington. They ask that either the "no-grade" stenc'l be changed to "culls" or that an Ore gon "commercial" grade be establish ed, similar to the Washington slato grade, o : Americaa tourists .--pend hundreds of millions yearly in Europe, and the amount is continually increasii'g.

ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE In the County Court of the State of Oregon for Umatilla County. In the Matter of the Person and Es tate of Ira Durrill, an incompetent. It appearing to this Court from the petition this day presented and tiled herein by Henry Craig, guardian of the person and estate of Ira Dur rill, sometimes known as I. W. Dur rill, an incompetent person, praying for an order of sale of all of Block 190, Reservation Addition to the town, now City of Pendleton, Umatil la County, Oregon, also the South east Quarter (SEV4) of the South west Quarter (SYVVi) of Section 16, Township 1, North of Range 85, E. W. M. in Umatilla County. Oreiron. and belonging to said estate: that it Sane Tax Thinking an Oregon Need By BRUCE DENNIS Author of the Dennis. Resolution Once believing, as many . honestly now believe, that a state income tax was the solution of taxation problems, I fav ored it. When chairman ot the Assessment and Taxation Com mittee of 1923 Oregon Legislative Session I assisted in fram ' ing and adopting a state income tax law. - It reached a few individuals who were making good incomes and paying little, if any, property tax, but it drove from Oregon millions of very badly need ed investing capital, as everyone knows , who has kept po'stad on this state's af fairs. ; A direct case that forced me to know a state income tax at this period of Ore gon's development is unwise, was a mil lion dollar investment which had been planned for the city in which I then lived. This investment hesitated until the state . ' . ..... income tax. law was repealed. Then it proceeded to locate within that city's corporate Kmits paying ; municipal, hieh school and other taxes willingly. It also " brought in a payroll of at least $20,000 a month. This is but one instance of a large number throughout the state, which proves that no matter how pretty the theory ? of state, income tax may seem to be, Oregon can ill afford to ;, adopt such a business policy when no other western state has it, and our dire need is to secure more people with investing capital to develop industry within our borders. Lowering taxes .will never be done by any ambitious and progressive people. That has been demonstrated time and ' again when seemingly worthy projects of economy have failed -V of popular sanction. The demand of the public for improve- ments is so great that administrative economy effects only : small savings. These facts being of common knowledge and to a great ex tent, of record, how are Oregon people to obtain any tax . relief? : ' " ' Just one way: Attract more people and more investing capital to share the public burden. No state secures new industry and new investing capital . without offering some inducement. . That is why I introduced Senate Joint Resolution No. 5, commonly called the "Dennis" resolution, in the 1925 Legis lative Session. That is why it was passed by the legislature and offered to Oregon voters for their consideration at this general election. It provides that no income tax and no inheritance tax can be levied by the State of Oregon before 1940. '.' -.-' " The Dennis Resolution is simply a business proposition.' It is all nonsense for Oregon to adopt an income tax law one year, repeal it the next and then adopt it again the following year. By such methods the state gives out-siders, and her own people, the idea that we are all confused and cannot think out for ourselves and adopt a fixed policy relating to our financial affairs. It leave .the commonwealth in an unsettled condition, : "and causes constant uncertainty, under which business and in- ; dustry and the daily affairs of the people cannot prosper. The ' Dennis Resolution guarantees to investing capital and to all . " business generally a sane and safe policy until the year 1940 ' by assuring that this commonwealth will levy no state income ; or inheritance taxes on her people until that year. ' ".'' - ' :"- Taking off inheritance taxes for that period is also a di rect bid for investing capital. The state treasury, instead of ' losing any money by doing away with inheritance tax, will ' gain many times such amount by the increased -wealth at tracted to Oregon, which will pay its regular taxes. "' Capital seeks the ckannels of greatest awards and least hazards. We have everything to attract it in the way of resources and climate. Now, let us all do some hard thinking, cease calling each other names for. a time, and vote for Oregon's advancement and prosperity. Vote 306 X YES Dennis Resolution.
