I
Heppner, Ore.. April 1, 1918.
To the Hon M. A. Miller. Collec
tor of Internal Revenue,
Portland, Ore.
We, the undersigned, residents
of Morrow County, Ore., do re
spectfully show:
That one J. E. Tuttle who was
in Heppner as a special agent of
the Treasury Department for
the purpose of assisting taxpay
ers in making out their income
tax returns, has caused wide
spread indignation among the
people of our county by his man
ner of indicating to them that
they were seeking to evade the
payment of their just proportion
of their income taxes, and by his
many other acts of discourtesy
toward the taxpayers who called
on him for assistance.
That we feel this to be a most
regrettable incident coming at
this time on the eve of our cam
paign for the third Liberty Loan
issue, and that it may seriously
effect the same.
that we believe a communica
tion from you addressed to Mr
J A. Waters, chairman of the
County Liberty Loan Committee,
stating in effect that acts of dis
courtesy on the part of any spec
ial agent are not knowingly per
mitted by the government, nor
tolerated if known, would in
measure counteract the damage
done by Mr. Tuttle.
If compatible with the rules of
your office we would appreciate
such action, so that same could
be published in the local papers
at an early date.
J. A. Waters, county clerk.
C.C Patterson, county judge

Charlie Ayers, who is with the
U. S. Army in England, writes
an interesting letter to bis father,
Win. Ayers, of this city. Charlie
writes the letter on British Red
Cross stationery, across the top
of each page of which appears
the line, ''For God, for King and
for Country." but Charlie has
carefully erased the words "for
King" from each page. It's not
easy to slip one over on young
America under any circumstan
ces, and they are not over there
putting up a fight for any sort of
of king, good, bad or indifferent.
The letter follows:
"I will write you a few lines to
let you know that I am getting
along fine and hope you are all
well when you receivethis letter.
We are having nice weather
here, just like spring today and
it sure makes a fellow feel good,
although it makes me think of
my wool-tying job and the money
I could make if I was home this
spring, but we have got this job
to tiuish before we take on anoth
er one.
Well dad, this is a funny coun
try. We are in one of the oldest
towns in England and they never
had a picture show here until
after the war began, so you see
how up to date they are. But it
is sure a pretty country. I will
take eastern, Oregon forjnine;
and I have seen considerable
country in the last year
Walter Matteson writes the
Herald from American Lake as
follows: "Well, I landed here

the paper soon. I am feeling
pretty bum now, having just
been vaccinated and will have
another one tomorrow and still
another one later. It seems very
co'd here mornings, but guess we
will get used to the change in
climate. We have to stay in
quarantine for two weeks. There
are 140 men in our company, and
1800 arrived the same day we did.
We had a special car from The
Dulles and a special train from
Portland. I have been on K. P.
