PAGE TWO THE HEPPNER HERALD., HEPPNER, OREGON Tuesday, June 5, 1923 THE HEPPNER HERALD AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER S. A. PATTISON, Editor and Publisher Entered at the Heppner, Oregon, Postofice as second-class Matter WHAT IS PROPAGANDA? Propaganda is the art of insinuating one idea under cover of another. Recently a capitalist wanted to get cer tain ideas to his men: he had the ideas prepared by one skilled in the jargon of the water-front labor unions; he had them printed under a conspicuous union label; he had the printed leaflets distributed at the gates of his factory by men wearing the union button. The ideas were solely for his own one-sided benefit. That is propaganda. A clergyman uses the unctious language of the old ortho doxy to break down the intellectual content of it; he util izes the old forms to sap them of their meanings; he al lows his efforts to be "assisted" by outside interests who are wholly sympathetic with the ideas and attitudes which he is insidiously attacking. That is propaganda. To take the natural instincts of the people for reform and helpful improvement and use those instincts as the motive power by which an ulterior result is obtained, is propaganda. To talk to the people about freedom and independence and na tional glory, for the sake of turning out one set of job holders to put another set of job-holders in that is propa ganda. But to take a fact to which the people are blind and hold it up before them in season and out of season; to wear your colors openly and state your objective plainly and use the simplest and most direct methods of putting your ideas hefore the consideration of other minds that is not propa ganda. The word propaganda is not inself a bad one, and does not originally relate to bad practice. But it has fallen upon bad company. The propagandist today is a man who has something under cover either the real objective to be attained, or his own relation to it. It is one of the most difficult things for an editor and a reader these days to do detect and eliminate propaganda. Our daily press and magazines are full of it. Various so cieties and fraternities and associations are full of it. Even the pulpit is ignorantly infected by it. What we need everywhere is, first, a straight road to the facts of a tiling, and second, a straight mind to resolve the facts into their meaning. Exchange. 'JUST ONE MORE TAX" "This is just one more tax" is the barnyard and curi Mone opinion of thousands of country taxpayers and city taxpayers on the pending income tax law. While this hasiv opinion hardly does justice to the law, it isn't far off from the facts. It would be more accurate to say that this law opens up the way for higher taxes, which it most assuredly does. While the income tax promises to reduce property taxes to the extent that it collects money from income tax, that very promise excites hopes that new taxes can he voted property to absorb the amount of the expected saving. Thousands are supporting the income tax measure in the hope that it will enable them to get property and mill age taxes voted for their own pet purposes. If we ratify this income tax law we simply are inviting all the millage propagandists to get their pet millage meas ures on state, county and local ballots. Do you know a millage enthusiast, with a pet hobby, who also is not in favor of this state income tax? All the enthusiasts favor it; they just love to vote taxes on other pcopie, and this state income tax looks good to them be cause it opens the way to vote other new taxes on the pre text that reduction of property taxes provides the money ihev seek for their pet schemes.- -Oregon Voter. 1 i We Are Headquarters FOR Camp Equipment for Auto Campers Fishing Tackle, Guns and Ammunition Out-Door Equipment of all kinds Call and inspect our iine before starting on that summer outing trip GILLIAM & BISBEE "THE WINCHESTER STORE" Phone 333 HEPPNER, OREGON .T .J. .J.
