President Wilson said that "politics is adjourned," but l.e did not moan, that citizenship is adjourned. There are important offices to be filled and important measures to vote upon, and no voter has the right to shirk his responsibility in deciding who shal fill the offices and what meas ures shall become laws. Do your duty as an American citizen by cast ing your ballot, and "be careful how you vote." 5-5 PUBLISHING TAX LIST. That part owners or mortgage holders will have to pay fees to title companies to investigate whether taxes are paid upon many classes of property is the condition that will be faced if the Jackson bill is enacted next Tuesday. The bill abolishes publication of the delin quent tax list, and substitutes a flimsy and necessarily incomplete system of private notification by mail. The mail notice cannot reach more than one person, while there are many pieces of property that are owned jointly, or in which an in dividual owns an equity. The taxes might gc unpaid for many years without such owners ever having any chance to find out about it. Often the party receiving the mail notice would have tailed to pay the taxes, and his associates in ownership would be entirely without protection unless they engaged the services of a title company to look up the records, a service which might be expent-ive. Besides the actual owner of prop erty, there are holders of mortgages, purchasers under contract, assignees , f c..r.. t;;. .-.

'Ul uT'i eaabltd to take proper steps feir their own protection. Confusion, misrepresentation, de lay in tax payments and gross breaches in trust are all certain to he fostered by abolishing publication and substituting the inadequate sys tem of mail notices. N'o one owning any interest in a piece of property, or expecting to buy property, will vote against tax list publication after carefully considering what would be sure to happen were open publicity dispensed with for the incomplete private notice system. Oregon Voter. No amount of explaining on the part of the Democratic press can chant:" the effect of President Wil son's request that none but Dem ocrats be returned to Washington in the coming election. It takes no far sightfMl, long headed statesman to discern that he has made a great mistake, politically. He should he tendered a vote of tho.nks by the Republicans, for this "break" will ,-urely be the means of bringing out a strong Republican vote;. The Dem ocratic press of this state is "black in the face" with explanations, and are camouflaging the Issue with all the skill they possess, but the tide can not be stopped. 'ot wiii.'h tint.-. 5i nmvnr three: (t)nucii- I men, recorder and treasurer are to be i chosen by the voters of the city. I There was no apparent stir iu city ' politics up until this week, when, on I Tuesday morning posters were dis tributed over town announcing the "Women's City Ticket" and setting lout their platform as follows: "A bigger and better Heppner. "Fill mudholes and lay crosswalks where needed in Winter; eliminate dust so far as possible in Summer. "clood roads to connect all p.irts of Morrow county and the interior with Heppner. Give the people a chance to como here. "t'lrar the "hennel of Willow creek. Make it safe in flood time. "Heppner must have a hotel. Get busy and get one. "Uepp'.er needs a public comfort station with::', reach of the business di.-triet. Provide one. "To make Heppner grow it must be made a 'City Beautiful,' A lity park, a swimming pool, clean streets, will help. , "Always send the people's money for the people's benefit. "Demand and require a dollar's worth of service for every dollar's worth of salary. "Encourage flower planting and well kept lawns. "Make Heppner' the 'Dahlia City' of Eastern Oregon. "Does Heppner want retired stock men and farmers to make their homes and spend their money in Heppner rather than in Portland and the Willamette Valley? Then make Heppner a desirable place to live. The election of this ticket and the carrying out of this platform will be the first step in that direction." : A fine platform, and one that can be enthusiastically endorsed by every citizen of the town. But, it might be well to consider a few things, and to understand why it is that Heppner does not enjoy at the present time much that is called for-here and wfiat the probable cost might be. A city beautiful, with some of the desirable acquirements set out in this platform, is one of the things we all want, and if we are able to pay the price let's have it, with swimming pools, public parks and all. The present city council, have, had in mind much of the improvements called for here. It has been dis cussed by them frequently, and tltey have fully decided that the first move in this direction would be the installation of a water system of sufficient capacity to insure all the writer needed to keep flowers and gardens growing, the dust down, the streets clean, etc., and by careful in vestigation this improvement alone would cost the city at this time no less than fluU.UuO. Nothing else ivil count until this is done. Furnish the money, and, presto, change, our j l"Sb'"4 .v ill- he !rtt. At this time the c'ty is strapped, its mcney and cr'-dlt are cx'.ut'Htotl ar.tl it is hard to meet the nr-wssftry-rcn'.i'vncnU cf keeping u ruiintit; expenses. Seme splendid fit root work has been (bine and this to jk all the funds that could be scraped ,. i up. I lien come-' along the mastrjus live that, has created a situation that is very unfort'inato at this lime, arid a condition that it. will take titue and money to overcome. In fact there is a great deal that might be said and much criticism, perhaps, that might be ofiertd, and so far as this paper is concerned, we are glad to have the women come forth with a platform and set out some of the things they desire for Heppner. The discussion, openly, of these matters is a good thing, but it must be re-i membered that whatever ticket is elected, they are up against just the same conditions that have confronted the present council, and no high sounding platform, or words of praise and condemnation on either, side will change them. j We all want these good things for j our little city, and hope that some' day the most of them will come, j Just now, however, the question oC ' taxes and taxation is uppermost and the burdens are about all the mont of us can bear. the Third District of Morrow County, Oregon, dated October 29th, 191S.

It is the first step towards a bigger and better ileppner. Never was there such a demand for wool as at present. In 1917 the U. S. imported hun dreds of millions of pounds from South America. Countries that never shipped us a pound before shipped us millions of pounds. If ail the wool rai ed in the T.
