A DATE IS MORROW COUSTY
HISTORY.
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.

Dodd Returns From Washington.
E. P. Dodd, who made a trip to
Washington, D. C, for our Interests
in the construction ot the McKay
creek reservoir and the greater Uma

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,

WAR TAXES.
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,
