ounrv that has ever been assembled
This has been an exceptionally good
vear for the production of grain,
fruits and vegetables in .Morrow
count)-, and the fair board are not
overlooking the matter of having
tht.se well represented at the pavil
ion. So while you may be attracted
by the amusement features, and
these, by the way. promise to be good,
come prepared to see a fine exhibit
of the products of the county. And
while you are about it, don't over
look anything good that you may have
porduced on the farm and in the gar
den this season and prepare it for the
fair. Primarily this is what the fair
is for: to show what you have been
able to excel! in during the year in
production on your farm. Bring in
your prize grains, vegetables, stock
and poultry and show your neighbors
what you have; don't come to the
fair to find fault with what you may
see, and make a lot of talk about
what you have left at home that was
so much better. By bringing in your
stuff you will add to the volume and
attractiveness of the exhibits and the
interest and istructiveness of the
fair. Tax money is not spent on a
county fair just altogether for
amusement. The fair is an educa
tional institution well worth while
and it should be freely patronized as
such.

The dust has been kept down very
materially and the air cooled and the
joy of living considerably enhanced
thereby. During the week a commit

the rounds of the citizens and busi

what success. We presume, howev

A Rotten Practice
The big city dailies, the leading
political organs of the nation, have a
habit of attempting to discredit and
hamper official appointees and elect
ed officers before they take office
which means before they have any
thing to criticize that ill becomes
them as supposedly honest and hon
orable workers for the general wel
fare. Let a bunch of appointments be
made by the present administration
and the recipients of the plums are
heralded to the world by the opposi.

Home Town Paper Week
It is very rare that the average
newspaper boosts its own business
hindering them in their administra
tion, places party politics ahead of a
square deal and the successful oper
ation of the functions of the govern
ment. Such actions are narrow mind
ed, small and unpatriotic. Perpetual
ly carrying on a political campaign is
a curse to the country. Central Ore-gonian.
boosting the affairs of others.
Somebody suggested that it was
time for the newspapers of the coun
try to adopt a week in which their
own business should be given pre
cedent, and the Gazette-Times thor
oughly endorses the idea.
The date set is the second week
in November, from the 7th to 12th,
including the great world event,
Armistice Day.

The Sales Tax
There are many effective argu-
ments. of course, to be urged against jfce ..Subscribe for Your Home Town
the proposed sales tax. One of the
strongest is that the poor widow is
thereby mulcted of part of the mite
she is compelled to spend to feed
and clothe her fatherless family.
Nevertheless, the bald fact re
mains that the nation needs addition
al revenue, and must secure it some
how, somewhere. Any sort of tax is
objectionable, and the problem be
comes one of choosing the least of
evils.
To us is occurs that the sales tax
has some features to recommend it
as less inequitable than others. For
one thing it ought to come nearer
than other systems of taxation to tax
ing the citizen in proportion to his
means. The man who is able to
spend five thousand dollars a year
would pay five times the tax of his
neighbor who spends only a thousand
dollars. The very poor who can
expend little would pay little. The
prodigal whose principal object in
life is to get rid of his dollars would
contribute to the government a pre
mium on his extravagance. The
thrifty man would be afforded an ad
ded incentive for thrift. The spent
dollars would pay the tax, not the
conserved dollars so vital to the
country's industrial and commercial
welfare.
It seems to us that the farmer
ought to favor the sales tax, more
especially if it exempts, as in Can
ada, the products of the farm. The
farmer bears his full burden of state
and county taxation by reason of the
fact that his land cannot escape the
assessor. It is more difficult for him
than almost any other class to evade

For Patriots Who Think
We doubt if the average citizen
realizes the tremendous growth that
the Boy Scout movement has made
in America of recent years.
Do you know that there are sev
enteen thousand, seven hundred
troovs of Boy Scouts in this country
so that there is not a city and hardly
a town or village wihtout one or two
troops?
And do vou realize that the num
ber of uniformed Boy Scouts in good
standing in those troops is now well
over four hundred thousand r
i Wherever you find a Boy Scout
you also find a manly, reliable, self-
reliant boy who is anxious to ao gooa
deeds in this world. Judge Daniel
B. Trade, of Chicago, says that of
the thousands of boys who have been
brought into his court, not one has
been a Scout. Juvenile judges an
over the country make the same re-
oort.
Boy Scouts graduate into Amer
ican citizenship in a few short years,
and fine citizens they are, a most
