PHESS KHiHTS VOK THE TAX PAYEHS. The fact that in Oregon $2,131,000 less taxes is collected this year than last is due to the fact that the state press stands by the tax payers. Officials, boards, commissions and bureaus, state and federal are en gaged in expanding their functions and heaping up new tax burdens. The publicity matter sent out by state and federal departments is all calculated to increase emolument and expenditures. The state press battled for new in dustries and development, lower tax es and less legislation and regula tion of business. Pacific Coast Man- i ufacturer. MOIillOW (II VI' V OFFICIAL l'AI'FK Thursday, July S, 1915. I do the very best I know how the very best I can: and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said aeaiust me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing that I was right would make no difference. Abraham Lincoln. Heading is now general in the sec tion of country north of Lexington, and reports are to the effect that the grain has suffered severely from the hot weather of last week. It is short ened at least a third. Similar re ports are coming from other parts of the county, while others report but little, if any, damage. It will transpire, however, that there has been more or less damage in all parts of the county when the threshing is done. Cool weather of the past few days has been beneficial and grain that appeared to be damaged is re viving and will come out pretty well, barring any more of such weather as we had last week. . Portland German societies refused to join in with the rest of the citi zens of that city in the Americaniza tion day exercises on Mnodav. They took offense at the idea of being ask ed to renew their allegience to Un cle Sam; they had once declared themselves America citizens, and was this not enough? However these good people may view this matter, it is now a mighty good time for every citizen of this country, whether na tive or foreign-born, to renew his allegience to the flag of this country and receive lessons in loyalty to American ideals and institutions. As we view it we are all Americans, re gardless of conditions surrounding our birth and no citizen should take offense in being asked to join with his fellows in these patriotic demon strations. A retrospective view of the government of the United Statts reveals the fact that this government was formed by so-called foreign-born citizens; a people seeking to estab lish a home for those of all nations who wished to be freed from the tyr anny and oppression of foreign kings and potentates, and it is still the great refuge for this class of people, all of whom are welcomed to our shores and made to feel that they are a part and parcel of this great country. All that is asked of them is that they become really and truly American and loyal to the country of their adoption. And while the Uni ted States is at peace with all the world at the present, she nevertheless has a great battle to perform in re maining neutral to the great nations at war. and this requires that the fires of true patriotism be kept burn ing brightly. Let us remember we are all Americans now. GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. Those who have been laboring un der the impression that government ownership is practicable should have heard the address of Senator Burkett on "The Protest of Americanism." While the Senator didn't go so far as to say that government ownership would destroy the country he did pro test that it would prove extremely dangerous. Taking the railroads as an exam ple tiie speaker showed by convincing logic how utterly impossible govern ment ownership would be. He showed how helpless Oregon, for example, would be under government owner ship. With territory greater than that of all the New England states, its representation in Congress is about one-eighth that of New Eng land. It would be only natural that forty members of Congress would get eight times as much consideration as five and then where would the de velopment of Oregon come in. Under government ownership of any public utility, extension and im provement of that utility would be guided by the votes of a majority of members of Congress and not by the needs of the country, as is now the case. Cottage Grove Sentinel. The local committee guaranteeing the 1915 Chautauqua for Heppner, had to make up a deficit of $5.50 apiece. This was paid by the 40 sign ers of the guarantee without a protest as they felt the week's entertainment had been worth the money. Besides every good undertaking must have a start, and it costs somebody a little money and work to get attractions of this kind established in the commun ity. This initial expenditure of mon ey and labor has been made and fu ture Chautauquas for Heppner will be self-supporting. The 1916 course has been signed up for, and where this year's Chautauqua had compara tively few boosters, there will be scores of them another season for our people better understand what they are to receive. SMALL PAI'EK DIES. That it takes somethingbesides enthusiasm to run a newspaper and make it pay, ar.d that just because a man has brilliant and unusual ideas is no sign that he is a born pub lisher have again been illustrated in the indefinite suspension of the Olym pia (Wn.) Independent, a paper pub lished for a brief time by W. E. Hass ler. The sheet started as a weekly In 1910, was entered in the postotfiee January 7, 1911, was made a daily once or twice in an effort to find a field, and died the last time May 4 1915. A boy employed about the office of the publication has filed an attachment on the original job plant for wages he claims to be due him, the newspaper equipment of the out fit has been turned back to the orig inal owner, and numerous creditors see nothing in sight. Efforts of inexperienced men to break into the newspaper game In communities where there are al ready well established papers, sel dom prove profitable save In the matter of experience. Oregon City Courier. It would not be surprising to hear that the Industrial Accident commis sion had included in "hazardous" oc cupations such things as sawing wood with a buck saw, or splitting wood with an axe, churning with a hand churn, spading in the garden, playing base ball, tennis, hop scotch, rummy, bridge, penocle, seven-up, marbles or any other old thing that will bring in a few pennies to the commission in order to swell the fund to make offices for political fa vorites.
