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 those in charge of the movement i M. c. Fuqua in mow chief clerk LEXINGTON ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Holmes of 1h? Turn A Lucn spent Sunday in lone. Lexington is rather dead now with both hotel and restaurant closed. Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kenny lelt for their new home the first of the week. Not much news thie week; everybody being on the wind up of canning fruit. Chas. Pointer has been quite sick at his home near Lexington but is better now. Mrs. Ada Estes and baby of Portland is visiting her sister, Mrs. Claud White. Mrs. Gertrude Harrell accom panied her father, Mr. Beytner, over to Monument for a visit. K, H. Lane was obliged toclose hirf restaurant on account of not being able to secure any cook. Dave Porter has ceased to be manager of the livery stable and T 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- Washington, D. C, Oct. 3rd, (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 Church Notices Catholic Church Services. First Mass. 8:00 a.m. Christian Doctrine. 8:45 a. m.

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." H. F. TASH A. S.

Guy Wakefield Recommends Especially BIMOTICK PIOIOCMPI 1 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. HARDMAN HAPPENINGS J. E. Stevens went to Hepp ner Monday.
