The old, well worn adage abont tin
jeoplo that dunce, bavins to pay Die
tiddler is still true. And that is just
about what is the matter with Oregon
sind the world as regards high taxes.
The. world went, on an orgy of war a
few years ago and the wasle In money
iind ootnmodil ies and human energy
was stupendous.
Oregon went on an orgy of Treat
ing bonded and other sorts of ind'bt
cdnoss at about the same time Ore

and road dislricls as well as a collec

xdiools, buildings salaries and frills
without slopping to think that it
would require a mighty big tax levy

time lo think about paying in those
;;ood, old, glorious days. Wo were
too busy thinking up schemes- lo bor
jow more money anil ways to spend it
to think about (axes.
Tile Herald is not going to propose
a remedy for Hie present condition
which confronts the people of Ore
gon, viz: excessively high faxes and
110 money to pay Ihem Willi. If we
had such a remedy and could prove
that it would work would reduce
taxes lo nothing or less, and give us
Hie best schools and roads and other
things in Die civilized world, we
would want a million dollars for it
sind we would get get, it. too,

I. ntOFESSIOXAL CARDS
After being urged by citizens and
taxpayers in all parts of the county
to announce myself as a candidate for
the nomination for County Commis
sioner, I have decided to do so and
will be a candidate for such nomina
tion on the Democratic ticket at the
corning primaries. I hr.ve been a
taxpayer here since before Morrow
county was organized. I have no
platform to announce nor promises
to make tnly that, if elected, I will
endeavor to serve the people of the
county to the best of my ability.

FOR COMMISSIONER
I hereby announce myself as a can
didate for the nomination to the of
fice of County Commissioner, subject
to the w ill of the Republicans of
Morrow County, to be expressed at
the primaries in May, 1922.

Present Incumbent. Hardman, Or
Paid Advt.
FOR JOIXT REPRESENTATIVE
I hereby announce my candidacy On
the Republican ticket for Joint Rep
resentative of the District of Morrow
and Umatilla counties in the May
primaries. I have lived in Umatilla
county 24 years and own property in
both counties. I was a member of the
1919, or War Session, and the spe
cial session of 1920 of the Oregon
Legislature and otherwise have devo
ted my time to public matters. I
have no platform except to offer the
best judgement I have and to pursue
a conservative and economic course.
I believe in applying strict business
methods to public matters. When
we can pay for public development
xve should have betterments, but
when taxes grow burdensome we
must be content with the old ways
until we can do better. Just now
taxes must be trimmed wherever pos
sible and no new appropriations -made;
and, the pressing needs of the
farmer and stockman must be the
main issue in law making and in the '
sphere of public influence.
