EDITORIAL SECTION The Gazette-Times The Heppner Gazette, Established March, 30, 1883. The Heppner Times, Established November 18, 1897. Consolidated February 15, 1912. VAWTER CRAWFORD, Proprietor. ARTHUR R. CRAWFORD, Editor. OFFICIAL PAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY. AN ITVTOWN STATION. The railroad was bnilt up Willow creek to Heppner in the Fall of 1887, History shows that Morrow county was at that time growing Into one of the big thriving communities of Ore gon. There was ample inducement for the railroad capitalists to extend ! this branch line from the Columbia, otherwise the old stage line between Arlington an Heppner would have had to take care of transportation facilities for time to come. But just why the O. R. & N, Co. got their line to the lower edge of town, built their terminals there and ! let it go that way, very few people have been able to solve. Many have figured it was the old system of the company to wait for a country to de velop and then come in and pick the plums, and others have said the rail road heads figured Heppner would soon spread out down the creek until the depot would eventually be in the center of things. However near these surmises may come to being true, the fact still remains that the depot is Borne considerable extent removed from the main part of town, this in spite of the. fact that Heppner has made a steady,' conservative growth. There are any number of good reasons why the terminal of the Heppner branch line should be up town, but the prime reason is that of service. That the Heppner branch has paid well these many years, there can be no doubt. Freight and pas senger traffic has been heavy and the amount spent by the Company In maintaining its service has been com paratively small. The O.-W. R. & N. Co. should appreciate this patron age sufficient to extend its lines up town. Another reason why the line should be extended is because by the extension, expense to the shipper will be reduced to no meager extent, every little express package costs at least ten cents extra by the time It arrives up town. All other express and freight must necessarily cost from twenty five cents up. Passen gers, both coming and going muBt al ways figure twenty five cents addi tional to the cost of their ticket, un less they want to hit the board .walks and take a chance on missing the train. The railroad company may have some good reasons why they never built up town, but probably the great est .outstanding excuse is that they have never been urged by the people of Heppner as a unit to come on up and be one of us. There is ample room for the con struction of both passenger and freight depots and the cost of build ing the extension would be nothing. Nothing we say, for the good feeling and Increased patronage resulting to the company would repay them many times for the money expended. We believe the time Is ripe to take up this important matter with the head officials of the O.-W. R. & N. Co., and facts and figures presented to them in the right way will gain the desired results. Nothing will come out of the agitation unless it is backed by every Dusiness man ana citizen of Heppner and adjacent ter ritory. Let's get behind this move to build the railroad up town. reapers of large war profits. For ex ample, the Dupopt Powder Company made annually from 1913 to 1915 In clusive profits amounting to five mil lion dollars while in 1916 Its profits climbed to the stupendous sum of eighty-two millions. The United States Steal Corporation made in the year preceding our entrance Into the war sixty-three millions of dollars and basel upon the first six months of the current year it is estimated that its profits for 1917 will rise to the unprecedented figure of five hundred millions. Many other similar exam ples could be sighted though these are of the larger class. "One excellent result obtalucd In the Senate was striking from the bill the provision relating to (able taxes those upon tea, coffee, sugar and the like. Every dollar now paid is a dollar and accumulated interest less to pay in the future by the long and distressing process of taxation, which eventually falls upon the shoulders of the great mass of the people. A failure sufficiently to tax great profits, which are an accompaniment of war. and an over-issuance of bonds, brings about inflation, increase In cost of living and commercial distress fol lowing the arrest of war, and for these plain reasons I supported every efTort to Impose a heavy load of taxa tion upon those thriving institutions which are enjoying a harvest of pro fits above the dream of avarice."
