For four to six years this country has Ken going through a most un natural period and the most unnat urai condition of all is the fact that SERVICE counted for little or noth ing. In a world of people producers. consumers. ers. workers and neighbor there is no word that be gin to equal the word "service." While you and the writer are serv ing one person or one concern ana earning a living, each individual of us is being served by at least 25 others. Work that statement out in a few moments of study and perhaps you ill find that a good many more than 25 human folks are serving you. There's that suit of clothes you wear. The boy who herds the sheep flock; the man who shears the fleece; the farmer who wagons it to the freight ear; the railroad men who haul it to market; the fellow who cleans the wool; the man who cards it; the worker who makes it into cloth; the tailor and lastly the storekeeper or clerk who sells you the suit all these serve you. Are they serv ing you to your sat isfaction? Are vou vourself serving others to their satisfaction? Have you a kick coming at the wav you are served by this, that and oth er person ? Have they a kick coming at the way you serve them? Briefly, are you doing your work to the best of your ability? Are you giving good sea-ice in this world of men and wonfen who are dependable on you and on each oth er? The four to six vears of unnatural conditions are being liquidated. Costs of goods are going down. Labor's wages are slowly following. Service is going to count Tlgain whether you are a business man, professional man or a laboring man. He who wins during the coming 10 vears is the one who gives worth while SERVICE. There is promise of a lively meet ing on Tuesday next in this city when the John Day Irrigation District land owners and directors will come to gether. The recent election will per haps be the leading topic of interest, and there will also be presented at this time a petition of the land own ers, very numerously signed, which is in the nature of a protest against the tax levied on the district as well as against the issuance of bonds to carry out any wo-k the directors may have in contemplation. We under stand that the directors have no thought of a bond issue as that is something in the distant future, and will have to be settled by a vote of the district in any event, but the re cent election seems to be a live and pertinent question, and one that is now at issue because of the action taken by the board of directors last week when they declared that Messrs. Minor and Wheelhouse had not been regularly nominated as pro vided by statute, hence were not elected and entitled to be so certified. There seems to be a fine point of law brouht up here and the action taken by the directors will doubtless result in a friendly suit being filed that the point can he brought to the attention of the courts for settlement. In the conducting of any great en terprise, questions will arise for set tlement. The John Day project is one of the biggest enterprises ever undertaken in this part of the North west; its re-ult?. ultimately, will no doubt justify the great expenditure of time and money that will be re quired to complete it. So far as we are informed, the work already done by the officers of the district is along approved lines and in harmony with the governmental requirements, and sufficient has been accomplished to put the work several years ahead of what it would be had some different policy been pursued. Nothing should! come up at this time that will give! the project a set back. Hold the; pro'ind gained, for the monumental: henefito to our section of the state on the completion of this great work and the development to result therefrom are fur superior to the interests of any individual or group of individ-; uals. iv.a-ket i an iportant question.

The bill provides that the act shall not exempt from taxation any income derived from such in vestment. : school and has advised that the funds j raised in 1919 for roads under the i one-fourth mill tax, be set over for the purpose of building this school. The proposal is now brought to an i issue in the legislature by the intro I duction of two bills in the house bv the committee on roads and highways touching this matter. Senator Pat terson has also introduced a bill in the senate which would authorize the transfer of $2,602,619.76, raised by the one-fourth mill tax for road pur poses, to the state's general fund for the building of the industrial school, and also for the repeal of the one fourth mill tax law. From present in dications these bills will cause a big stir in the legislature as there seems to be a lot of opposition developing. Many were the expressions of sur prise and delight at the gathering of Heppner's business men at the hotel on Monday evening, at the music fur nished for the luncheon by the band boys. Many had apparently forgot ten that Heppner had a band, and that the boys had been of late put ting m many hours of good, faithful practice under the direction of Pro fessor James Austen. They have been making marked improvement, and the music furnished Monday eve ning was greatly appreciated. The band is entitled to all possible en couragement on the part of the Heppner public, and we can say that it will not be long until our city has a musical organization to be proud of, and one that will be prepared to furnish a quality and quantity of en tertainment of this nature that will be a delight. Boost for the band. Gatherings such as assembled on Monday evening in the dining room of the new hotel, when the perman ent organization of the Brotherhood was consummated, is a practical illus tration of the important place the ho tel fills in the community life of the city. , The neat, roomy dining room and the spacious lobby are beginning to prove their worth already, and are evidence of the good judgment shown by the directors of the hotel company when "they accepted the plans for the structure. Tables were arranged and covers laid for 100 plates and yet there was an abund ance of space left in the dining room to take care of the public, and there was no crowding. The lobby accom modates crowds of this size comfort ably and the hotel will doubtless be come a sort of community center, where the people can feel free to come together on all occasions of a public and semi-public nature. The management desires to have it thus, and they seem to leave nothing un done to make it pleasant for all such gatherings. The new hotel should grow in public favor, and we feel quite sure that every member of the Brotherhood can be counted on as a good booster for this, one of Hepp ner's leading institutions, as well as one of Eastern Oregon's finest hos-tleries. ear owner already is bearing almost the entire burden of state highway work. He is paying more than his share. A fair share of the burden should be met through general taxa-' tion so that all may contribute to the ' expense of this development from! which all the people are gainers in cluding the timber land holders. The legislature should not be rush-; ed off its feet by every contingent that requests a lowering of the gen eral tax. When the tightwad taxpay-1 er escapes his just share of the ex pense it means that a greater and greater burden is put upon the shoul ders of others more active in busi ness and more ambitious for the state's progress.
