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.

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

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. Uedmond Spokesman.
