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."

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

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.
