There has lieen several a-l vertiw-mcnts ap pearing in the Tribune, and thcr- is one again this week, which advocate« the repeal of the •tale income tax. and >»ecaii«r we have pub lished them does not imply that the editor is in accord with the heli, f« of th- men who are paying for them. The editor believe« the law should be sustained by the voters neat Tuesday and thus make thousands who pay no property tax assume part of the upkeep of government. The law is juct and in kreplng with progress, •nd all men who believe in the man wh<- earns a large income a -uming his «hare of taxation should vote 813 X NO. The proposed change in the workmen's compensation law gives too much power to the three men composing the commission, so much that the eourts will have no jurisdiction, hence we advocate voting 311 X NO The present law governing the licensing for practice of Naturopaths in Oregon is sufficient •nd should not now be changed. Therefor« we suggest voting 309 X NO. The oleomargarine and condensed m>lk bill is designed to put the dairy business down and out in Oregon. This community, and nearlv ail of Western Oregon, is a dairy center, and largely maintained by the dairy interests. To vote to repeal the present law is a vote to sell your milk and cream at a cheaper price —and all of us know it is cheap enough now. Vote 306 X YES. The first 3 measures on the ballot •re to correct laws already enacted and in our judg- menl the vote should be YES.

The follow ing are the choice of most of men interviewed: For U. S. Senator. C L. McNary, pres ent incumbent (rep I For Congress. W.C. Hawlev (rep.I pres ent incumbent, and WJ.

We also find that a majority here favor the election of Judge R. M Payne to succved himself; Joe Hume for commissioner; I’. W. Goodman for sheriff; R. M. Russell to succeed himself; also the recorder, the treasurer and assessor to succeed themselves. Moat of those interviewed favor the re election of 8. II Goin and A. K. McMahan to the legislature to succeed themselves. On the presidential ticket there has been a reluctance to commit themselves, except on the part of those who are parly bound.

Oct. 24. 1924. the results of the votes certainly drove that doubt away, for the amend ment carried by 124 for and three against almost unanimous. The election was called upon a bid having been made bv the Mountain States Power Co. for the purchase of the municipal power plant and equipment and upon a petition of a large number of freeholder*, which aesulted as above. As all our citizen* are aware, the plant was built at the close of the war and the current was turned on in September. 1921. During the construction period wages and ma terial were high, which made the plant cost the citv considerably more than it would under normal condi tion«. Bht who knew what was go ing to happen? The city had prac tically reached its limit in expansion of lines and generation ot power, and the citizens realized this, and when a fair offer to purchaae was made by the Mountain State* Bower Co. the taxpayers urged the sale The price to be paid is (42.500.with $1200 a year for two years for a 25 war franchise; in other words, two years street lighting free. I By the sale it is mad* possible to l«p off about 25 mill* of taxes and yet provide a sinking fund that will take care of the $20.000 in bonds due in 1940. A meeting of the citizens to approve the proposed budget is called for tonight at the citv hall al 7:80, and by your attendance the council will know how much you are interested in the city.

V .< ■ i «he drew up he stepped on II mining board at her car and thrust his head in through the curtains and demanded that she let him have some gas. When she told him that she did not have any gas to apare, he grab^t-d her wrist and demanded it. She be came frightened aliout this time and jerked away from him and on the gns and drove off and left him, When at a safe distance away «he looked around and he had got ten in his car and was speeding down the road, almost out of sight. Mrs. Rosprofka said she did not think to look at the license number, but the car win so muddy that it is not likely site could have seen th* numbers. She said it looked as if it had IxH-n driven all night. It is pre sumed that either the car was stolen or the man was drinking. Mr«. Rosprofka had an errand in town the next morning, but she wouldn’t come alone. Things ar* pr tty bad when a woman lain dan ger when driving on an open road In the middle of the day. Who Steal* the Milk? We don't expect anyone to hold up their hand and say "I am guilty.” oh no. and we wouldn't want you to do so before all these people be cause it might embarrass your im mediate family. On M-veral occasions in recent weeks patrons have had their milk »tolen from the Brenner porch, pre sumably bv some "milk hungry” person. All losers have a pretty good idea who is doing the stealing, and have be«n keening a pretty cl* -e watch until Sunday night.while it was raining, when the thief made way with another bucket of milk. If patrons didn’t want the milk they would not buy it. and if there be any boy or girl, man or woman,who haven’t the money to buy milk, any patron would be glad to furnish them with a pint. From »mall thefts larger ones grow. Before being caught you better quit. Undergoes Operation Agnes, the 13-war-old daughter of Mrs. Mary E.
