High School Notes
The football game between
lone and Heppner last Saturday
ended with Heppner on the long
end of a 21-6 score. The gem
started when Quckman kicked off
for Heppner. lone was held for
three downs and Bristow punted
on the fourth down. Heppner
then began a steady march for
the g'oal line and scored their
Urst touchdown about the middle
of the first quarter. Heppner
again kicked off and lone made
several long end runs, the last of
which went nearly to the goal
line. Time was then up for the
quarter and the teams reversed
ends and lone put across her lone
-touchdown. Heppner scored a
' yain in that quarter and in the
third quarter. The game was
featured by the dropkicking of
Ralph Moore of Heppner and the
line plunging of Bristow and
Graves of lone.

kept 3000 families out of
Of course we wouldn't! So it's up to us to vote the
antagonistic Income Tax Law out of existence!
For it has already lost for Oregon payrolls amount
ing to more than six million dollars ($6,000,000)
a year! And six million dollars means at least
3000 families who; are lost to Oregon's popula
tion in just one year under this dangerous law.
Oregon needs Jobs and Markets
The Income Tax hills both!
Vote 312X YES and kill the Income Tax!
If there arc two things Oregon needs above all others it is ( 1 ) jobs for her
workers, and (2) markets for her products. Every new enterprise or in
dustry brought into Oregon means more jobs. Jobs support population. Ev
ery increase in population means a better market for farm and factory
products.
Yet the income tnx law antagonizes industries and enterprises. Many au
thentic cases are on file where industries MOVED OUT OF OREGON OR
DECIDED NOT TO COME TO OREGON because of the income tax law.
Counting loss of capital invested, purchases and payroll, this loss is already
conservatively estimated at more than $40,000,000. The payroll loss alone
is already over $6,000,000 a year I

The customer who quits and says nothing
The insidious thing about this law is that incJuitriet do not complain they simply
pack up and move to another state I They are like the customer who quits and says
nothing you never know he is dissatisfied nor why hence have no chance to
irnke matters right with him. Many large concerns who left or stayed out of Ore
gon on account of the income tax refused to allow us to use their name because
they did not want to be made to appear as tax dodgers and yet they could not af
ford to carry a tax burden in Oregon which they did not need to pay In California or
Washington! There is an old adage which says, "Business is sensitive. It goes only
where it is invited and stays only where it is well treated." We cannot afford to AN
