lone base ball team takes open
er from Condon in a close game
that was featured with many
plays that would look well in a
late season game. A large crowd
from Heppner, Lexington and the
country were in attendance and
were treated to a good afternoon
sport. The game was played in
the usual friendly contest that is
always shown between Condon
and lone and the umpireing of
VanMarter and Blake was ap
proved by the fans.
While Roche was obliged to
pitch the game with a lame arm,
he showed his old time skill by
striking out 11 Condon batters,
getting 3 strike-outs against "the
Arlington wan horse, big Bill
Josephson." Clow of Condon was
not so fortunate, having but 5
strike-outs. lone batters pound

the trick they played at Board
man last year. We have the best
balanced team that lone has ever
put out and with the reserve

entertain the fans with some real
games.
A move is now underway to
form a four team league with
Condon, Heppner, Boardman and

Heppner and if they can put out
a team, the league will open Sun
day with Boardman at lone and
Heppner at Condon.

that lone will not play at home
on a date when Heppner has a
game and for Heppner to play
at Condon or Boardman when
lone plays at home.

That the county unit school nieas-
uro la not acceptable to the voters of
tills community whs evident Tuesday
evening when, ul'V'r hearing an ex
planation or the measure given by 11.
B. Kicharda, the taxpayers and cit
izens who attended the mass meeting
voted unnnimoualy to adopt resolu
tions setting tortli their opposition
to the proposed plan. The city hull
was well filled with citizens of Koho
and the adjoining districts, and a del
egation enme from Hermlslon to heur
the speaking.
13. H. Rlehard3, of Athenn, opened
the meeting with an address explain
ing the features of the county unit
meusure and how Its application to
Umatilla county would affect (ho
schools nnd school patrons. He
stressed the point that the proposed
law would mean a gift to the county
at large of all school property, and
in addition to this It would mean n
grant of all authority and control of
theschool to one man. He demon
strated that the proposed board of
five directors could nut possibly
function to supervise the schools of
this whole county, and the result
would be that the county superinten
dent would control the educational
system.
The claim made by Mr. Green that
he could conduct the school system
under the unit plan at a saving to
taxpayers was disputed by the speak
er, who showed conclusively that the
proposed plan would necessitate
greatly Increased expenditures. Mr.
Richards Insisted that the county
unit plan U unfair and unAmerlcan

from the pooplonll their school prop
erty and control of srhools ngatiiHt
their wishes, and to place the educa
tional system under absolute control
of one man, from whose decisions,
no matter how arbitrary or unjust,
there is nd appeal.
A few remarks were made by J. T.
Lieunllen on the methods used In
getting signature? to the petition for
putting the measures on the ballot. A
check of the signers showed that a
majority of them pay no taxes In the
county, and that more than half of

After the speaking u resolution
expressing opposition to the county
unit was presented and adopted, re
ceiving the vote of every one In the
hall. Following Is the resolution:
He It Uesolved by the citizen and
taxpayers ot School District No. 5, at
Echo, I'nintilla County. Oregon. In
mass meeting assembled this Iftth
dav of March. 11124:
That we arn opposed to the coun'y
unit plan of supervision and admin
istration or our school for tln fol
lowing reasons:
That it takes the power to govern
our schools out of the hands of the
people and place It in the hand.-i of
ope man who can not know the local
needs, and who way favor on" dis
trict to the disadvantage of another.
That the judgement of three rep
res "ntutlve men of the community us
are now found on our school hoards.
Is bettz-r, even In educational mat
ters, than that of a brainier who l
not familiar with conditions: and
therefore the nnthorltv of the local
school boards should be maintained.
That It will Increase taxes unless
wholesale consolidations are made,
and that such consolidations without
the consent of those concerned Is un
just. That when peopln have nothing to
say about how their tax monev Is
spent they lose Interest In the thing'
for which It Is spent, and that a lack
of co-operation between parent and
school will prevail.
And, most of all, I tls unfair, un
just and undemocratic, for districts
of the first class to h'ive to vote on
this measure, when they are not af
fected by the law that does nfferl till
second and third clasj districts.

Is Five Cents on the
Dollar of Valuation
Too Much to Earn?
If a business worth $10,U0 earn, d $500 net Income in a
year (or J41 n month), would It be considered nn unreason
able profit and proof that Its prices wen too high?
The railroads are In thut situation today.
Tim 1 S23 net return for the whole country was less than
5 pel' cent. As of December 31, IUIO, the Interstate Com.
iiU'irn Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valuation
of $M,tlon,t)00,00D. ..With actual rigurcs for 1920, 1021. 11121!,
and with 11) conscrVativcly estimated as Ifil.lOO.OOO.OOl),
there has been Invested in the railways since tills tentative
valuation a net amount of $2,:!7t,rM:l,000, looking the value

The (lovernment guarantee of earnings expired Augtiat fl,

but erroneously cl.ilnied the Government would owe the rail
roads more than a billion dollars.
I.nst year the roads bundled a record volume of business
hut could not earn the fair return of 0 per cent to which the
lntciHtat0 Coinmerce CotiimlsMion, under the Trnnspuratlon
Act. has found lliey are entitled. If the roads cannoi earn 5
per cent in a big year, what will tiny do In a small year'.' ....
The Transportation Act provide that If a road In ir.iy year
earns mope th in 6 per cent It shall pay one-half of the excess
to the (iovernmf'iit. The Act Is, therefore a limitation ritlher
than a guarantee.
