Thursday, Septemberr II will be a date in Morrow county history. It will be a date closely linked with the mighty progress of aerial invention. On that day w ill be recorded the first passenger flight of an airplane within the air confines of the county, fte Morrow County Fair management has secured a reliable airplane pilot and during the three days of the fair he will take passengers up into the heretofore much untraveled air lanes over the city of Heppner. Secretary Brown of the Fair Board is receiving daily, requests for reser vations for at least one flight by local people. The first passenger booked is Ed. H. Kellogj. Mr. Kellogg has long been a lowly pedestrian, but he has ever had ambitions. His oppor tunity has now arrived and in a few more days he will be able to tell his fellowmen if the sensations of a plajie ride are all that has been claimed for than. Close on Mr. Kellogg's heels for an air ticket was E. M. Shutt. Mr. Shutt will be sec ond man to make the flight. It has been said that the airplane is going to come into common use among the words, that lower taxes and no in flation would, in the long run, have made the war actually less costly to the mass of the people. And it is most likely that decidedly higher tax es would, by the burden imposed on production, have made the war act ually more costly to the mass of the people. Sdturdjy Evening Post. t-t LOWDES.

It is estimated that 15.000,000 lines of first-page copy have been sent East to scores of newspapers, and among them the leading journals of the country, respecting the things the visiting editors of the country have seen and experienced during their transitory sojourn in the Pa cific Northwest. The estimate may be exaggerated. Even so, we know that the volume of this best adver tising any section of the country could set is ereat and we have the publican State Central Committee, 'assurance that the quality of it is all offers the name of one who has dem-' that could be desired, onstrated what a business man can j The East is in a mood to become da in the Executive Chamber.

C, for our Interests in the construction ot the McKay creek reservoir and the greater Uma tilla project, has returned home. He reports that if the project is built un der the soldier settlement act, now pending In Congress, It will include the greater part of the West exten sion now under water. Secretary Lane is very much interested In the development of the West extension, Mr. Dodd says. Mr. Dodd also said that he had taken particular notice of the crops In other states during his trip and that none of them, whether potatoes, wheat or other truck looked halt so good to blm from a profitable point of view as our own alfalfa fields right here at home.

A recent statement by Secretary Glass show's tnat expenditures of the Government from tne beginning of, the war to June 30, 1919, were some thing more than tnirty-two billion dol lars, of which twenty-nine per cent was raised by taxes and the balance by borrowing. But not all the war taxes levied in the last fiscal year had been paid, so when the accounts are finally cast up it will probably be found that nearly one-third of the war cost was met by taxation. Pro bably that is the practicable limit, though at the beginning of the war a good many theorists saw no difficul ty in raising half or more of the war costs by taxation. It is doubtful that as much as one-third of the cost of a four-year struggle, with our scale of expenditure, could pro.itably be rais ed by taxation. The amount borrowed in the per iod was twenty-three billion dollars, but a considerable part of that waj mere fiat a book credit obtained by inflation of bank credits. A. C. Mil ler, of the Federal Keserve Board, has said that the amount of govern ment paper carried by the banks in one way or another and representing inflation of credit might be as much as seven billion dollars. As it happens, seven billion dollars is about the amount of war taxes paid in the period reviewed by Secretary Glass or a sum about equal to the probable inflation of credit. This in flation undoubtedly imposed a tax on consumption ty raising the prices of commodities. The nation needs more credit than its savings amounted ta and resorted to an overdraft that re acted adversely on cost of living imposed a heavy tax on consumers, IMPORTANT TO AUTO OWNERS HAVING leased the mechanical Department of the new McEoberts-Cohn Auto Company Garage, we are prepared to assume the care and upkeep of your car in a satisfactory manner.
