Heppner's new water system will
soon be put to the test as the irri
gation season approaches. We will
soon know whether we have a suffi
cient supply to keep lawns, gardens
and shrubbery alive and green dur
ing the heated season, as well as
having a sufficient supply of good,
pure water for domestic uses. Just
now there is a deal of speculation
going on, as well as considerable
complaint that the water being fur
nished to the city is not just the qual
ity ii should be, and some days we
are led to the conclusion that there
must be a band of cattle or sheep
frolicking around the headwaters of
the creek where the intake is located
and are stirring up the mud and sed
iment at a lively rate. This summer
wiH bnng forth all the bad points in
the system and will give the citv fa
thers somethmg to work on for its
improvement. Right now the council
is facing the necessitv of further ex
tensions and connections with other
live springs in the vicinity of the
headgates, and the problem of get
ring these improvements will no
doubt have to be worked out soon. In
this connection it is pertinent to re
mark that the Heppner water de
partment is more than self sustain
ing, and should any extensions be
found necessary, the funds for the
same can be provided without in
the least increasing the tax burden.
It is also well to say that the citizens
of the town, as they use the water
this season, should co-operate with
the water commissioners and avoid
all possible waste. The hours for
irrigation have been fixed and by us
ing the water at this time as pro
vided in the regulations, we should
have no shortage and all the water
that is necessary to keep lawns and
vegetation alive and vigorous will be
supplied.

The Gallon-A-Week Decision,
It is well to inquire for the seer
who sang "Poor John Barleycorn,
don't you cry, you'll be a drugstore
by and by!" Some day somebod)
will want to raise a monument to
him. and it is well to fix the facts
indelibly while they are fresh. For
this decision is destined to become
as famous as the Dred-Scott case.

Will Taxes Mean Bankruptcy?
Reports sow that the government's
revenue fnm excess profits and in-1
come taxes has fallen off heavily.)
Reports from various states show
that state tax delinquencies are get-j
ting new high records. Bankers knowj
that more money has been w ithdrawn j
and borrow ed for tax payments than :
ever before. This indicates twoj
things. First, that the abnormal bus
iness conditions of the war are past
and that profits are on a peace bas-j
is, and do not justify war taxes. Sec
ond, that the multiplicity of taxes,
city, county, state and national, have
increased to such an extent that the
average citizen is hard pressed to
make sufficient profit to meet them
and leave the requisite capital for j
operating his business.
There is hope that federal taxation j
will be reduced. But in the average
western state taxes for the next two
years will be increased, due to the,
enormously increased amounts de-j
manded to meet the appropriations
of legislative sessions just closed.
Never before has the average citizen
felt the hand of tax oppression as he
is feeling it now and will feel' it for
the next two years.
There is just one outcome. These
tax burdens will increase so long as
the people fail to demand and en
force a program for retrenchment in
public expenditures and the expan
sion of officialism.
Twenty thousand bodies of Amer
ican soldiers who fell in France have
either been shipped to the United
States or are now in process of be
ing returned for burial in their na
tive country. With 102 officers of
the American army and a personnel
of more than 2,000 men working
night and day in many sections of
France the Grave Registration ser
vice of the American army has
reached a point where it is possible
to forward 4,000 bodies a month.
The work of sending back the 52,
311 bodies designated for interment
in America will be completed by the
end of next October, if present plans
are fulfilled.

IIINK what would happen if the Light and Pow
er Company which supplies your community
with electricity suddenly ceased to operate I
The motor-driven machinery in busy factories
would come to a standstill. The many little power-driven
contrivances which add to the convenience of your shop
or home would be useless. Even the lights by which
you work and play would be snuffed out.
Yet the great service rendered by the Light and Pow
er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so
much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant
ed. Only on the rare occasions when something goes
wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even n
ia passing thought; ana that thought is pertorce a damning
one.
In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com
pany takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare
and the welfare of the community as a whole are one and
inseparable. The extent and character of the service it
renders influences to a considerable degree the establish
ment of new industries. And the more widely that ser
vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will
become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary
