THE SCIO TRIBUNE
VOL. XXVI
ACK). LINN COUNTY. OREGON. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 5. 1922
COMMUNITY CLUB
MET IN JORDAN
Representative Crowd Greeted
Member* on Their Viait lo
Proeperoua Section.
Monday night the Forks of the
Santiam Community Club met with
the good people of Jordan, and a
good sized crowd greeted them
It
was a shame that but three members
from Scio and the sections adjacent
had the time to attend, as this was
probably one of the best meeting*
so far ueld
The attention was rapt and the
people of that thriving little settle­
ment were anxious to know more
about the work of the dub and the
hopes and aspirations entertained
by it.
Many good talk* were made
and all were to the point.
While the duh takes no part at
present in the political future of
the forks of the Santiam. It did talk
some of the measures. It is lament­
able that interests inimical to the
farmer and the working men had
seen fit to go to law and have prac­
tically all measures eliminated from
the ballot that would have a tend­
ency to help lower taxe*. and al the
same time affect all alike, such as
the graduated income tax advocated
by the Grange, and the one having
tieen withdrawn by Walter M. 1‘ierce.
This same interest saw fit to leave
upon the ¡»allot the fiat income tax
bill which exempts only 11,000. thus
catching the small farmer, the clerk,
the laboring man who is fortunate
enough to have a 6125 a month job,
so that he and they must bear the
burden of taxation twice. This
measure it was urged, the Deople
study, aa well as all others, so that
they may be better able to vote in­
telligently
upon
them.
Some
thought it a good plan to vote
against all measure* and defeat them.
This may tw a good thin* to do.
There were several new members
added to the list at this meeting,
and every where the club goes it
meets with good •u.-ccsa. There
seems a likelihood that before long
the club will have 100 members, as
the list is continually growing. The
great thought expressed at this
meeting, was the necessity of mor*
adequately advertising this section
of the Wiiliamette Valley. It was
said that in thia way only will peo­
ple be attr eted to us. for w* are a

The club feel* that ail who are
interested in the development of the
entire community should come into
its fold, and from now on there will
be some one talking to you about
this important matter.

meeting place open to an invitation

Oregon Became Excited
Oregon’s first business excitement
came in August IMS when a little
schooner from San Francisco pulled
into the wharf at the vitiate of Port­
land and began to load all the Or*-
gon products obtainable in exchange
for a lot of Mexican produce
After a cleanup was made of all
the available product* the captain
of the visiting craft announced the
discovery of gold in California.
Very soon gold dust and Stairs
money was rolling back into Oregon
in exchange for more < >r«-g.«n pro­
ducts and so wheat was soon elim­
inated as the circulating legal tender
medium.
It was ndl long before Oregon
was digging as much gold out of
the sale of its product* as the miners
were getting in California
Indust­
rie* began to get a footing in the
State and the demand for worker*
brought additional settler* to Oregon
just as the gold digging operations
brought more people to California.
As one of th«* results of this de­
velopment th* manufacture of gold
coins was started at Oregon City a
few months later.
The Oregon City
mint was the first on the Pacific
coast and coined |oH.5bd in gold
money under the sanction of the
Unite«! State* government. The

How to Reduce Taxe*.
The western states are spending
too much money on their political
overhead
from fifty to righty
dollar* per capita. say* the Manu
facturer.
All »ho are getting the money

money, having more duties. more
fees, more offices and more power.
.Money is the concrete power with
which politics puts over
new
schemes to wring money out of the
lirople and raise more taxes.
The dodge of shifting the taxes on
»■me other group should not de­
ceive anyone because it finally must
come out of the producer and the
consumer.
The only way to reduce taxes ia
to spend leas, cut the overhead
cost of government and refuse to
vote for every new tax raising law
ami scheme proposed.
The farmer and the home owner
simply cannot go on paying more
and more for government.
Cilty Council To Meet
The Scio city council will meet in
regular session to-night, and it is
expected all memtiers will tie present
If there are any who have suggest­
ions to mak* to the council on
matters affecting the whole city, the
memtiers of the council would ap­
préciai* their meeting with them.
The time when a budget committee
will tie appointed to plan the tax­
ation of property for the coming
year, ami ta fix the expenditures
for city government is rapidly ap­
proaching, and surely this is one
of the most important duties to come
before the counril at any time, and
the cooperation of the citizens is
desired.
Maa* Meeting
on the 27th of September, came as
a surprise, for it was thought for a
time that the trade would not be
consummated.
W L Cobb opened the Scio Gar­
age for the first lime on June 1.
1919, and had continued the busi­
ness until the purchase by Merle
Cyrus on the 27th of September,
and had built up a large and grow­
ing trade by his courteous manner
and conscientious service to his pat­
rons Just what he will do. Mr. Cobb
has not decided, but it is hoped that
he will remain in Scio, aa the family
is rated among our best people.
Merle Cyrus needs no recommend
atom to our people, having been
born and raised here. He is well
known a* a mechanic of rare ability,
having served the people here well

where he worker! for a long time in

the laegest automobile accessory
concerns in the northweal, loiter he

He will continue to handle the
Dort car and the Sampson tractor,
the same as his predecessor, but if
conditions demands and warrants
he no doubt will add other cars to
hie sales. The Tribune besfivaka for
him a large share of the local pat­
ronage.
Ix-onard Gilkey, as is his custom,
again walked away with first prize
on the best individual farm exhibit
at the stat* fair. In on* corner of
the exhibit, Mr. Gilk*y placed *
card on which he placed the words
“Representing the Forks of the San-
liam.” He Is surely patriotic U>ward
