We Can Do All Kinds of Repair Work
The Tax Liberator.
The quickest way to reduce taxes
is to reduce public expenditures. Can
this be done? Is the money now used
for public expenses spent In the most
efficient way? Do the people of Ore
gon get 1 dollar's worth of good for
every' dollar they pay in taxes? is
there waste in public expenditure by
those whom we have elected to spend
our money? Are there useless com
missions and officials? To read the
platforms and declarations of those
who are now running for office on
would think our taxes were now be-
anyone now running tor omcc is a
tory mob of parasites who destroy
business, Invade private rights and
prey upon the weak. To read these
same platforms every legislature of
recent years has been bent upon fur
thering the opportunities of these ne
farious tax eaters and oppressing the
people of the state, but a vote for
vote for freedom from taxes, a vote
vote forf reedorn from taxes, a vote
for better conditions for the wage
earner, a vote for happy life on the
farm, and a vote for good roads. It
leads us to hope that regardless of
who may be elected the next legisla
ture will be composed of men who
will forever free us from the oppres
sion of life.
How much of this is true? How
much of this is political buncomb?
That taxes are constantly increasing
is agreed. That taxes must con
tinue to Increase seems inevitable as
we are demanding better living con
ditions each year. We want, better
schools, better roads, streets and
walks, better living conditions, bet
ter care for the unfortunate in the
way of asylums and eleomosinary
institutions, county aid to the unfor
tunate widow with dependent child
ren, direct election laws which will
reflect the wishes of the people to
a greater degree than was believed
to be obtained under the old system.
All these cost money. There is no
wish on the part of the people to
lose the progress we have made.
There is no disposition by them to
shirk the payment of the bills which
these improvements occasion, But
the people of the state wish to be
satisfied that they are getting what
they pay for. First they want to
know that there is some real tangible
good comes from every dollar they
pay In taxes. We don't want any
question about this. We don't want
any far-fetched theories. We want
to be shown. Secondly, we want to
know that these good things of life
are given to us at the least possible
cost. We want to feel that our ser
vants in office are just as careful of
our money as are our wives when
they buy our meat. We want to feel
that there is no duplication of work.
We want to feel that the business of
the state Is conducted along business
lines. We want less buncomb and
niore common sense.
We want fewer generalities and
more concrete statements regarding
public expenditure. If our candi
dates for office wish to abolish nr
consolidate commissions and offices,
what commissions and offices do they
suggest we abolish or consolidate.
How many of our prospective
members of the legislature are mak
ing an honest, comprehensive and
intelligent study of the question of
public expenditure in order that
they may vote in a manner that will
inure to the benefit of the great mass
of people when these questions come
up for decision at the next session of
the legislature. It is the purpose of
the Tax Liberator to afford a means
of free decussion of this question.
Not only to the public servant in
office or he who is now a candidate
before the people for a position of
public trust, but to everyone, these
columns are open. These questions
will be freely discussed by the editor,
but his Ideas are the ideas of but one
man. In a question of such vital
import to every citizen In the state
there should be full and free discus
sion. The only request that Is made
is that communications avoid gener
alities. We want facts, and we want
definite, concrete statements. Don't
be afraid of hurting some one's feel
ings. Often times the truth is not
pleasant. This publication intends
to speak the truth. If some of our
officials have been enjoying an easy
time without making proper showing
in the way of direct tangible benefits
to the people who are paying them
if some of our public officials are
false to their trust, If some of them
have a graft in the way of high sal
ary with little work, then the truth
will hurt. If some commissions are
and others are bad, it Is only fair to
the people of the state that they be
informed as to which are the good
and which are the bad. The neces
sary commissions will welcome inves
tigation. The useless commissions
will object to it. If the Tax Libera
tor steps on somebody's toes or hurts
their feelings, it won't even be sorry
Its first duty is to the people of the
state and that sacred duty will be
ever foremost In its labors.
In the next issue of the Liberator
will appear a detailed account of
what is being handed to the tax pay
era of one county in the state. We
nre going to call names. Watch the
, fireworks.

Portland Stockyards to be Enlarged
to Handle Increasing Business.
Portland, Ore., July 28, (Special)
As an Indication of the tremendous
growth of the livestock industry in
Oregon and other sections of the Pa
cific Northwest, the Portland Union
Stockyards Company has found it
necessary to immediately make a
large addition to its pen space In or
der to keep pace with constantly in
creasing shipments. The necessity
for increased yardage for sheep feed
ing is mainly responsible for the ad
ditions which will be made at this
time, and it is estimated that the new
pens will take care of at least 15,000
head, making a total sheep capacity
of the yards of approximately 35,000
head.
Parmer Smith of the O.-W. R. &
N. Co., returning from an inspection
trip through Eastern Oregon, states
that the grain yield 'for this stats

and that in most cases the wheat
Is turning out much better than ex
pected. He states that farmers who
planted acclimated corn are meeting
with great success and the growth of
this crop is unusually good.
A big cannery and fruit packing,
to be built and operated by Llbby,
McNeil & Libby, the Chicago packers,

Krebs Brothers, formerly in the hop

that point, nearly all of the $15,000
in capital stock having been already
disposed of. It Is planned to run the
cannery on a co-operative basis, a
plan which has been found successful
in other localities, and it is believed
that its establishment will result in
the cultivation of hundreds of acres
In Powell Valley now idle.
