Meaning of Word "Service."
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.

: 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. East Oregonian.

they will reveal Ethiopians in the

pose it not to reduce expenses but to

timber land owners and other large
