TAX FREE SECURITIES
I GREAT MENACE
Mast B lorn Prarlalm 5to Ex
emption of lute Beads from Tax
atlosu Washington. August II. In the
our of his recant statement to the
Congress concerning the national B
nances. Secretary Mellon aald the re
ceipt! from the Individual Income tax
are rapidly dwindling and "fundi which
otherwise would be lnveted In pro
ductive enterprise are being driven Into
fields which do not yield taxable In
come.' In other words, more and more
capital Is being Invested In non-taxable
securities. In the opinion of many
financial authorities and particularly
In the opinion of those who have made
a study of public finance, the problem
of tax-exempt securities Is one of the
most serious with which the country
has to deal.
These securities are Issued by states
and various political subdivisions of
states. They are exempt from federal
taxes In conformity with the constitu
tional guarantee that the federal gov
ernment may not levy taxes against a
state, and levying taxes aglnst secur
ities Issued by a state would be the
equivalent. The theory Is that the pow
er to tax is also the power to destroy
by making the tax so heavy as to be
destructive. This exemption, Intended
to safeguard the sovereignity of states,
has been by the continuous Issuance
of state securities of all kinds, exempt
from federal taxes. It Is conservative
ly estimated that between 1 5,000,000,
000 and 120,000,000.000 of such secur
ities have been Issued up to date and
they are being Increased at a rate of
over 11.000,000,000 a year.
Investors figure that tax-exempt se
curities bearing t per cent are better
Investments than taxable securities
paying 1J per cent or even more. The
damage Is two-fold. It prevents rail
roads. Industries, public utilities and
private enterprises from floating bonds
and obtaining needed capital, unless
they offer an almost ruinous rate of
Interest and It drives capital to Invest
In tax-exempt securities and thereby
deprives the federal government of any
Income tax from that class which should
pay the most Income tax.
In order to correct this evil Repre
sentative McFadden, chairman of the
House Committee on Banking and Cur
rency, has Introduced a resolution pro
viding for a constitutional amendment.
In speaking of It he said:
"The creation of two classes, the
wealthy, free from the burdens of tax
ation, and the workers who are forced
to bear the burdens, of which the weal
thy are relieved, through the purchase
of tax-exempt securities. Is a violation
of social Justice which Is crystallslng
In broad public opposition and discon
tent." Benator Smoot, of Utah, has also
been studying the problem and has in
troduced a resolution proposing a con
stitutional amendment which would
permit the federal government to col
lect Income taxes from all such secur
ities. Any fear that the federal gov
ernment might misuse this power to
the Injury of some state by an exces
sive rate of tax oould easily be allayed
by making such federal rates uniform
for all states and never In execesa of
the rate the government collects on In
comes off Its own securities.
Those who have made study of the
question say unless some method is
provided for taxing all securities Is
sued by states and their political sub
divisions not only will one of the great
est sources of federal revenue disap
pear, but states and municipalities run
grave danger of going bankrupt be
cause of the ease with which they can
Issue and sell their tax-exempt bonds,
and thus encourage public extrava
gance and the Increase of their public
debt.

George and Albert Christy, held In
the county Jail here for ten days on a
charge of breaking Into a sealed box
car at Messner, were given a prelim
Inary hearing before Justice Cornelt at
the court house yesterday and released
from cuBtody. While there was pretty
strong evidence that the boys broke
the seal on the car, no one appeared
against them at the preliminary to sus
tain the evidence and they were al
lowed to go.
Under the new automobile law It Is
necessary to get a temporary license
from the sheriff before being permitted
to run a motor driven vehicle. The sign
"license applied for" will not do. Also,
It might be well to call attention to
the fact that the auomoblle depart
ment Is checking up on all cars, and
those not having this temporary license
card of the sheriff or the regular state
license tug. will be in for some expen
sive trouble. There are a good many
other regulations to be complied with,
also, and It might he well to wise up,
for there may be an Inspector of the
state department along any day.
In a mlx-up with his team on the
streets of Lexington one day last week
Roy Stamp had his left leg badly
crushed, both bones being broken, and
the Injuries of such a serious nature
that It may yet bo necossary to ampu
tate the limb. He was hauling wheat
to the warehouse at Lexington and
got in a mix-up and the horse
riding the wheel horse, when the team
fell on him. Dr. McMurdo was called
and attended him and Inter had Mr.

Stamp removed to his room at the
Mac Smith residence In Heppner where
he is being looked after. Roy was
hauling wheat from the Henry Hap
pold place and was stopping there
nights. It was during his absence with
a load when the Happold house burned
and Roy feels that he Is getting Just
about his share of bad luck.
The Legion boys report one of their
most successful smokers held at the
Fair pavilion on last Saturday evening.
The main events were a wrestling
match between NortonWlnnard and
Harvey Bauman, which ended in a
draw, and a boxing bout between Roy
Wakefield and Stewart Valentine, the
decision going to the latter. Lively pre
liminaries by local youngsters started
the entertainment off and there was
abundant amusement. The financial
results will add the sum of 1140 to the
building fund of the local post, and for
this the boys are very grateful. A
dance followed the smoker, the music
being furnished by the Hall-Mathews
orchestra, and this feature was much
enjoyed by the large number of parti
cipants. The dance was not under the
auspices of the Legion.
Frank Baird, who was a resident of
this county for many years, but who
left here some fifteen years ago and
took up his residence at Newberg, has
about completed the Job of hauling
wheat to Heppner and contemplates
returning home shortly He runs two
large truoks and can move a lot of
wheat, yet he finds It hard to make
anything at trucking over the Morrow
county roads, even at the heavy toll
he Is compelled to charge for haul
ing. Good roads. In the opinion of Mr.
Baird, would be money makers for the
farmers of this county and a great
help all around, and he thinks tnese
may come some day, though he Is re
minded that In many places along the
road leading Into town from the south
one Is still compelled to bump over the
same old rocks that were in the roads
when he teamed over them fifteen years
and more ago.

SEPTEMBER MARM
The death of Essie Augusta Shutt
occurred at 12:80 p. m., Wednesday,
August 24, at the mountain camp near
Herrens Mill on Willow creek, where
the family have been for the past three
weeks. Miss Shutt, who has been suf
fering for many years, making a val
iant fight against the dread white
plague, has for-the past two months
been growing gradually weaker. Think
ing that It would help her to get away
from the heat of town, she was taken
to the mountains, where a camp was
established along the banks of Willow
creek, where there was good shade and
water and where quietude prevailed.
The change seemed to help and Miss
Shutt revived greatly in spirits. How
ever, the struggle had been of too long
duration and the frail body was not
able to respond to any relief offered,
and the end came to her quietly amid,
the beautiful surroundings of nature,'
and her spirit passed out while her
parents stood vigil at her bedside.
Essie Augusta Shutt, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. E. M. Shutt, was born In
Heppner and grew up here, where she
had a host of friendr, A'he time of
her death she was aged 22 years, 11
months and 24 days. Having been af
flicted for a number of years, she was
denied much of the pleasures of young
girlhood and yet with all this she was
always cheerful and happy and always
filled with the hope that some day she
would be restored to normal health
but It was not to he so.
Services were held for her at the
Federated church today at 2:S0, con
ducted by C. L. Freeman of the Chris
tian Science church. The remains will
be taken to Portland tomorrow for
cremation at the Riverview crematory.
In this affliction the sympathy of the
community goes out to Mr. and Mrs.
Shutt and to her brother Lawrence, who
has been a most constant companion
to his departed sister and was ever
kind and considerate of her every want
The parents hnve done all that was
humanly possible to bring their daugh
ter back to health and have the con
solation now that the suffering Is over
and the tired body has passed to eter
nal rest.

II AGENT Hi
C. j. Calkins, for four years county
agent In Sherman county, arrived In
Heppner Saturday and took up active
work, succeeding L. A. Hunt Monday
morning. Mr. Calkins was the unani
mous choice of the executive commit
tee of the Morrow County Farm Bur
eau when they met three weeks ago to
consider the appointment of a success
or to Mr. Hunt Several applicants
were discussed by the committee with
F. L. Ballard of the O. A. C. extension
service, but it was thought best to try
to Interest Mr. Calkins, who had not
applied for the position, but who was
well known to members of the execu
tive committee. It was their opinion
that because of his extension experi
ence in Sherman county both as coun
ty agent and as an employee of the
experiment station, he would be panic
ularly fitted to carry on successful)' a
helpful program among the wheat
growers. Sherman county has long
been noted for Its progressive prac
tlces in connection with wheat raising
and many of the results of the expert.
ment station are applicable to Morrow
county. An important part of Mr.
Calkins' work, according to President
Oscar Kelthley of the Farm Bureau,
will he the application of these re
suits to Morrow county farms through
close conenctlons with leading wheat

We are glad to welcome Mr. CalkttiB

"If Women Only Knew"
Is Strongly Dramatic
"If Women Only Knew," the new
Robertson-Cole release, has a dramatic
value seldom found In photoplays of
today. It has to do with one of the
paramount Issues of our times and,
while not in any sense bordering on
the sermon variety of pictures, brings
forth in vivid manner an object lesson.
Character delineation, as we find the
characters In our everyday life, Is one
of the strong points of the story. The
production is a record breaker and will
be shown at the Star theater, Friday.
August 26.
The value of a woman's sweet and
unselfish love Is deftly brought out in
the picture. A vivid comparison be
tween such a woman and the frivo
lous, vain type Is clearly Bhown. Most
striking of all Is the depiction of the
young man who, having his choice of
the two, is unable to decide which way
to turn. He picks the valn-glortous
type and the theme is built around the
results of his mistake.
Stock Is Shipped.
The past week there has been con
siderable activity in stock shipments
from the local yards, consisting very
largely of fat cattle. Saturday, Blake
ly and Wlngfleld, of Monument loaded
five cars and McCarty of Hardman, one
car of lambs which were billed to the
Omaha market On Sunday C. A. Minor
sent out one car of fat lambs to the
Portland market, and In this same train
there were seven cars of fat cattle
for Portland, Carl Ballance of Rltter
having two cars. Ben Burton of Bear
Valley 2 cars, and Joe Beck of Bear
Valley 3 cars.
Emmet Hughes is making a short
visit with his relatives and friends at
Heppner this week. He has been spend
ing the most of the summer over In
Pnlon county at work, and a portion
of the time engaging in ball playing
being one of thee rack amateur pitch
ers of the state. He will go to Port
land where he expects to find employ
ment for the winter, having finished
his school work at O. A. C. the past
year.
Fred Tash, who resigned from the
management of the Peoples Hardware
company the first of the month, states
that the announcement tha he was
to open up a service station at Board
man Is a little premature. In fact he
has no Intention of going over there to
engage in business, though Just at the
present time he Is not in a position to
state Just what line of work he will
pursue. He thinks, however, that he
will not leave Heppner.
Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Anderson and
Mr.and Mrs. Claud Huston were among
Eight Mile residents In the city today.
The Round-Up Feature at j
Coming Fair Is Assured
I Secretary Smead. of the Morrow
County Fair association, states that
the contemplated round-up feature
for the coming fair on September It,
16 and 17 If now assured, and In con-
nectlon therewith will be soma fine
racing. An 800-yard oblong track Is
; now being made at Gentry field, and It
cay be possible that this will be
lengthened out to one-half mile.
The round-up will be in the hands
of thoroughly competent managers and
for this feature Mr, Smead states he la
assured of 50 horses, and he looks for
many more. Besides there will be
bucking bulls and wild steers and these
features will present many thrllla
Hood racers are being listed for the
track and from fifteen to twenty fast
animals are expected to participate In
the races, to which, of course will be
added the pony and saddle horse races
of the round-up.
The getting together of a fine lot
of grain, fruit and vegetable exhibits
Is progressing and this part of the
fair is going to be bigger and better
than ever, as will be the stock exhibits
also.
Robest W. Osborn, representing the
Oregon State Board of Health and the
Oregon Tuberculosis association, with
headquarters at Portland, is In Hepp
ner today. Mr. Osborn Is making a
survey In behalf of the State Board of
Health and the association, of the East
ern Oregon counties and will go on
from nere to Umatilla, Union and Wal
lowa. This office acknowledges a very
pleasant call from Mr. Osborn, whom
we found to be a young man well In
formed In his line of work. On this
trip he will make some necessary pre
liminary arrangements for the disposal
of Christmas seals which the Tuber
culosis association pushes at the holi
day season each year, and which Is an
agency of furnishing a lot of means for
carrying on the splendid work of the
association in fighting the white pla
gue. In the survey of the Central Ore
gon counties, Mr. Osborn reports that
he finds very little tuberculosis, this
being especially true of our own coun
ty. Geo. W. Cork came tn rrom Monu
ment yesterday, bringing over a load
of fine watermelons. He disposed of
the most of the melons at Hardman
and on the road Into Heppner, and
when he hit town he had but twenty
five left, and these were all disposed
of to one man. Mr. Cork was after a
load of cement for Monument parties.
He reports that there is a lot of Im
provement going on around among the
farmers and ranchers tn the Monument
country; many of them are putting In
new ditches and irrigation protects and
he looks for a doo'jling up otf produc
tion out that way from now on. He
would also like to see Heppner get
connected up with a good highway out
through Hardman and on over the
mountain to connect with the John Day
highway not far from Spray, feeling
that this would be the easiest route
to this city. A market road is being
constructed down the river from Mon
ument to connect with the main high
way about fifteen miles below town,
and it is his opinion that there will
be mighty little traffic over the Mon
ument hill and across Wall creek when
the connection is made with the John
Day highway. Work will begin right
away on the market road down the
river from Monument, according to Mr.
Cork.

Clemens P. Dunton, aged 78 years,

the home of his daughter, Mrs. Frank
Winnard on Balm Fork. His death
was caused from heart trouble, and he
had been a sufferer from this disease
for a number of years.
Mr. Dunton was a native of New

Sherwood, and who relently moved
with his family to Heppner.
The family went out to the Winnard

planned to spend the day, but had not
been there long when Mr. Dunton com
plained of being ill and grew suddenly
very sick and before medical assistance
could he summoned he expired.
He was a veteran of the Civil war
and served with the 21st lows Infantry.
His wife died about five years ago,

Day.
Monday, September 5th. Is the day
for the opening of Heppner schools.
On this day all classes will be organ
ized, assignments will be made and the
work for the school year will start off
in a manner that will be an Index to
what It Is expected will be accomplish
ed during the nine months covering the
school period. Prof. Howard M. James,
superintendent, has been at his office
at the school building the most of the
time during the past two weeks, and
has all the preliminary work of open
ing the school completed. The full
corps of teachers Is now employed and
these will all be ready for their work
at the beginning. Very many of the
teachers employed for this year axe
from the force that was In the school
last year, and there will be compara
tively few new Instructors. The full
corps consists of sixteen and we are In
formed by Prof. James that the patrons
of Heppner schools can look forward
to a very successful year.
It is desired that all those who con
template entering school, will be pre
pared to be on hand the first day. The
superintendent wants this opening day
to be a success, and there Is no real
reason why the attendance should not
be practically 100 per cent when the
classes are organized. It Is to be un
derstood at the beginning, also, that
there will be nothing to interfere with
the work of the school. Some attrac
tions will be coming a little later, but
school work is going to take preced
ence, for It Is to be a year of accom
plishment So be prepared to take np
your studies at the very beginning,
catch the spirit and get into the har
ness to make a steady pull for a year
of success.
Pmf. James announces further that
students of the high school coming In
late, will have to make op their work
before being allowed to participate in
av .mrtent athletic activities. Foot
ball practice will begin on the after
noon of the opening day.
Tha netting of an early date for the
opening of Bchool this year was on ac
count of the county fair, wnicn comes
after the middle of the month, and to
..nit nntll this event was over would
throw the closing of school Into the
first week of June, a time wnen me
weather is too warm for the accom
plishment of good results. An early
closing of school In the spring Is more
to he desired by both students and.
teachers.
Janitor Drlscoll. with his able bunch
of assistants, the Driscollettes, have
been busy during the past few weeks
in getting the building in shape, and
it has been thoroughly cleaned and Is
in ship shape for the opening. New
supplies for the grades and laboratory
rupplies for the high school hare been
ordered for the equipment and the
onenine will find the following corps
of teachers on hand:
In the high school, Howard M. James,
superintendent; John W. Heard, prin
cipal of the high school and boy's phys
ical director; Lorena Palmateer, Eng
lish and dramatics; Rita Norris, home
economics; Bernice Dafoe, music; Ina
Moore. Latin, history, girls' physical
director.
Sixth, seventh and eighth grade de
partment, Carrie L. James, 8th grade
and arithmetic; Gladys Turner, 7th
grade, history and geography; Ruth
Case, 6th grade, English.
Addle Que'sinberry, 5th grade; Mar
garet Cason, 4th grade; Elizabeth Dlx.
3rd grade; Opal E. Clark. 2nd grade;
Edna Turner, 1st grade; Blanche Fahy,
1st and 2nd grades; Mrs. E; H. Morri
son, opportunity room.
If rooms are not over crowded, chil
dren who will be six years of age on
or before January 1st will be admit
ted at the beginning of school No
first grade classes will be organized at
the middle of the year.
Parties desiring to take high school
students to board Bhould communi
cate at once with Prof. James, who
will be found at his office in the high
school building each day now. It Is
expected that there will be a number
of such pupils and proper provision
should be made to care for them.
Parents and patrons are cordially In
vite,! to visit the school during the
year. In fact this is a duty they owe
to themselves and to the teachers who
are employed by them. Get In touch
with the work and help It along. We
feel sure that you will always find the
superintendent and hla assistants
readv to receive you and they will be
glad at all times to talk over any prob
lems that you may have. Don't fall to
visit your school at some time during
the year and thus get better acquainted

Washington. August 22. The first
year's operations of the Federal Power
Commission under the federal water
power act of June 10, 1920, has given
a clear Indication of the need for the
legislation and tho extent to which
power development had been delayed by
lack of satisfactory federal lawa Up
to June 30, 1951, there had been filed
with the commission 229 applications
aggregating 1 ,75.000 horsepower and
affecting 33 states, tho District of Col
umbia and Alaska.
This amount is 75 per cent greater
than the entire water power develop
ment of the Vnited States today. It Is
;ii per cent gretter than the combined
waer power resources of Norway and
Sweden, and considerably In excess of
ttn eori't'ineil resources of France and
Italy. It Is five times greater than the
aggregate of all applications filed with
the federal government In the preced
ing fifteen years. The projects applied
for vary In slse from less than 1
horse power- up to the 1,000,000 horso
