WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
I am indebted to the late Dr. K. 1!.

ment expenditures 1 have already

the taxes you pay to the government
are apportioned in expenditures. It
will give you the clearest and best idea
of where your money goes. For his
purpose Doctor Kosa took the actual

amounting to a total of $,"i,OSO,tXt5,70G,
as given in the regular supply bills and
three deficiency bills prior to May 1,

The first two groups together
amount to 92.8 per cent of the total;
public works amounts to 3 cr cent,
primary governmental functions 3.2
per cent, and research, educational
nnd developmental work, 1 per cent.
The population of the country being
about IIO.OOO.OIK), the total budget U
about fifty dollars a year per capita,
of which fifty cents a year per cap
ita Is expended for the wide range of
research, educational and develop
mental work Included In Group VI.
"That Is, of the fifty dollars a yeitr
per cnplta collected for all purposes,
dollar and n half a year per capita,"
Doctor Itosa went on to point rut,
"was spent for what Is here called
primary functions of Koveruuvnt ;
nearly us tnin h more was put Into pub
lic works, and fifty cents a year wan
put back Into research, ediicatlomil
and developmental work, to promote
scientific research, to Increase produc
tion and efficiency, to develop wealth,
to promote the public health anil to
conserve our unturul resources. That
Is n very Hiiiull part of the total
hardly enough to be regarded us a
burden on the nation.
"Indeed, one is led to wonder
' whether the total burden of taxation
would not be lighter If the expendi
ture for scientific and developmental
' work were lie-reused ; If, for example.

POISON IS KST1MATK
BY
IRRIGON, Or., Jan. 8. (Special)
The past week has been hard life
for the jack rabbits. Where poison
could not be put otit safely, drives
have been made both day and night.
A drive was made west of the Hux
ranch a week or so ago, during the
afternoon and another at eight oclock
in the evening, near the Marham
place. Mr. Chas. Powell, in charge
of the campaign, arranged to string
wire around (he sheep camp grounds,
consisting of some 30 or 40 acres
and made a killing corral at one end
of it. The gates along one side of
the fence were left open during the
day and early evening until rabbits
entered the larger area and then clos
ed and the drive made within the
larger enclosure and most of the pests
driven into the killing pens. The
drive was considered a success, even
though the fence had only been put
up that day and the rabbits had not
all located the openings. Another
drive was held Friday evening. Mr.
and Mrs. Markham had arranged a
nice lunch for the crowd after the
drive and the party listened to music
and danced until after midnight. Mr.
Powell now estimates that
at least 15,000 have been
killed by poison. Some places where
the rabbits have bunched, the ground
above Bailey and the other districts
is covered with dead ones. We hare
now taken out bait below Judson and
above Bailey and the oner districts
should connect up with our lines
and help clean the whole country of
the pests.
C. C. Calkins Morrow County Ag
ent, accompanied by Ralph Finley, Mr
Crease and Mr. Pringle, motored to
Irrigon Monday with intentions of
helping out in the rabbit drive but
did not stay owing to the fact that it
was pulled off so late in the evening
and Mr. Calkins was scheduled for
anoher drive on Willow creek for
five o'clock the next morning.
Mrs. Pearl Potts who has been vis
iting her folks, Mr, and Mrs. Caldwell
during the holidays, returned to
Portland Tuesday.
Mrs. Ray Castle, of Wyoming, is
here for a short visit.
