THE ROAD QUESTION
The plan for solving Morrow
county's good road problem
which was inaugurated last week
by a number of Heppner's repre
sentative citizens, as reported in
the Herald last Friday, seems to
be working out very satisfac
torily. Petitions for an election
to vote on the matter of a five
mill tax have been filed from all
of the interested districts and

are hopeful that their plan will
be endorsed by the taxpayers at
the elections to be held next
month. Such movements, how
ever, require some effort on the
part of those who desire to see
them put through and this matter
is not likely to prove an excep
tion to the rule.
The Herald believes in publicity
on a matter of this kind and
therefore offers its space to all
citizens who are interested in
the road question whether they
are for or against good roads.
We therefore invite a discussion
of the road question, in these
columns and believe that with due
publicity, the question will be
settled right.

There is a new clerk at Bur-

(Special.) Following the pass
age in the Senate of the two bil
lion dollar war revenue bill, and
while awaiting the final action of
the conferees with respect to the
adjustment of all differences in
the measure as it passed the two
branches of Congress. Senator
Charles L McNary made a pub
lic statement in which he said:
"I voted for the revenue bill
upon its final passage as the war
cannot be fought without money;
yet, I hoped that a greater por
tion of the revenue could have
been collected from those col
lossal institutions which are en
joying the fruits of the war and
are thriving upon the enormous
expenditures made necessary by
this world conflict. I would not
advocate a revenue policy that
would disturb or frighten busi
ness nor would I support a meas
ure that considers the profilers
too tenderly.
'The only objection 1 have to
the bill nowin conference is that it
does not bear down more heavily

guy ne's store. His name is Mr. i UP the reapers of large war
his profits. For example, the Du
porit Powder Company made an
nimlly from 1913 to 1015 inclusive
profits amounting to five million
dollars while in 1916 its profits
climbed to the stupendous sum
of eighty two millions. The
United States Steel Corporation
made in the year preceding our
entrance into the war sixty-three
millions of dollars and based up
on the first six months of the
current year it is estimated that
its profits for 1917 will rise to the
unprecedented figureof five hun
dred millions. Many similar ex
atnples could be cited though
these are of the larger class.
"One excellent result obtained
in the Senate was striking from
the bill the provision relating to
table taxes those upon tea, cof
fee, sugar and the like. Every
dollar now paid is a dollar and
accumulated interest less to pay
in the future by the long and
distressing process of taxation,
which eventually falls upon the
shoulders of the g;eat mass of
the people. A failure sufficiently
to tax great profits, which are an
accompaniment of war, and an
over issuance of bonds, brings
about i ntlation, increase in com
of living and commercial distress
following the arrest of the war,
and for these plain reasons I sup
ported every effort to impose n
Heavy load of taxation upon those
ihriving institutions which are
enjoying a harvest of profits
above the dream of avarice."
Follows Son to Training Camp
Mrs. Peery, of Lena, was in
town Wednesday on her way to
American Like where she goes
to be near her son, Frank T.
Peery, who was one of the men
sent to the training camp two
weeks ago. Mrs. Peery resided
with her son on a homestead
near Lena and, she says, be was
her sole support. She has no
other relatives and so has decid
ed to go to American Lake where
she hopes to be able to secure
employment. Mrs. Peery is 61
years old. Truly, "war is hell."

Because The Brunswick is all phonographs in one. It has all of the merits and
none of the faults. It is the result of years of experience and is made by one of
the most responsible companies in America The Brunswick-Balke Cullender
Company.
2 Because The Brunswick plays all records. It removes the limits which phono
graph owners have had to face in the past. All records have a new and better
tone on The Brunswick because of its all wood sound chamber, built like a violin.
3 Because with The Brunswick we are entitled to offer Pathe records both Euro-pi-an
and American. This brings to all, artists hitherto barred because they per
formed only for Pathe. Now The Brunswick brings Pathe records and all others.
