MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER
Foreign Advertising Representative
THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Will Talk Road.
"POMONA GRANGE of Grant
county will hold a joint ses
sion with Pomona Grange of Mor
row county at Parker's Mill on
July 4. There is to be a three
day celebration, but one day of
this will be given over to the work
of the grange. A question to be
brought forward at the meeting is
a road from Monument direct to
Heppner. We understand that
this has been a question before
the local grange at Monument for
some time, arid it is now being
taken up by the Pomona grange
and they are getting behind the
movement to put it over.
In view of this, we suggest that
some of the business men of
Heppner make it a point to be at
Parker's Mill on the 4th and "lis
ten in" on this discussion; it may
prove of extreme interest to them.
In order that our folks may know
what the people of Northern
Grant think of this situation, we
append herewith a statement from
Long Creek Ranger in which di
rect reference is made to the
road from" Long Creek to Hepp
ner. The article is from J. T. Rue
who, after making announcement
of the joint meeting of the Grant
and Morrow Pomona Granges,
says:
The farmers of Northern Grant
are perhaps in need of a road from
Long Creek, through Hamilton,
Monument, Hardman and on to the
railroad at Heppner more than any
other thing today. The commercial
interests of our state seem to think
that tourist travel is the thing we
want; but if the farmers are taxed
to build roads, our interests must
be taken into consideration. The
people' of North Grant must pass
through Monument on their way to
market and when they are about
twice as far from Condon as from
Heppner. With this being true the
road passing through the towns
f spoken of above would save them
half their travel costs and half
their time. The Heppner route has
been, is now, and always will be
the natural market route for the
people of North Graut. I, as Po
mona lecturer of Grant county, ex
tend to the people of Grant and
Morrow counties who are interested
in this road, to meet at Parker's
Mill and discuss the proposition.
This is a chance to get under
way a road proposition that has
long been recognized by the busi
ness interests of Heppner as one
of the best outlets for the trade of
Northern Grant county. As Mr.
Rue states, Heppner is their nat
ural trading point, and it is now
time that our business men get in
and show these people that we are
ready to cooperate and work with
them in putting the road over.
Songs of Plain Folks
"qumingOutTime
Turning-out time was at sundown
When my father's walking-plow
Used to lay its perfect furrow
(Comes a little sooner now).
I would race, barefoot, to meet him;
He'd come whistling o'er the hill.
Turning-out time was a blessing
And it is a blessing still.
When, with meadow lark a-singing
And the grass blades bent with
AnH ha vp nlnwed r.h whole rlav
When the new-turned swath is wider
Than I'd thought that it would be,
Then its more than merely quitting
Turning-out time means to me.
Turning-out time, rich with fragrance
Of the fresh soil roundabout,
Finds me hungry, tired and happy;
And I'm thinking, turning out,
Of the smiling pal to greet me
Where her tempting supper waits,
Of the boy who 11 run to meet me
And to onen ud the trates! -

BtFraak Crane Says
OUR NATIONAL DUTY IS OBVIOUS
A RECENT report to Congress for an appropriation for the In
terior Department included some $750,000 for a dam in
Arizona and some $2,500,000 for road construction, with other
items of a similar character.
This is proper business for a government. It does not pay
for a government to be paternal and to foster certain special
interests, but it does pay for a government to engage in public
works, the benefit of which shall accrue generally to the people.
When the Lord made Adam and Eve it is said that he put
them in the garden in order to tend and keep it. Man's work
ever since upon this earth has been in improving upon natural
conditions of nature.
He is to reclaim deserts, improve rivers, perfect harbors and
make tunnels, etc., so that the earth will be a fitter place in
which to live.
It is this kind of work in which the army should be engaged.
In other words, be put upon constructive labor as well as to be
kept in readiness for destructive operations.
Such a program might well call for the services of every boy
and girl at some time in their lives, say from the years of 20 to
22, when they would be required to give their services to the
government. Everybody ought to be made to realize that the
nation is greater than the individual and has prior claims upon a
man, claims that come before his individual needs.
This would maintain an immense army of constructive work
ers who could be changed in a moment's notice to an army of
defense against an enemy.
If this plan were adopted I should be in favor of compulsory
military training and in compelling boys and girls to be trained
not alone in the bearing of arms, but compelling them at certain
periods in their lives to work for the government.
The United States has vast stretches of land which need im
provements. Much of the West is barren and needs only the
proper use of its water courses in order to water it. Arizona
might be as rich as Egypt if it were properly watered.
The use of the natural supply of power that is found in fall
ing waters opens up tremendous vistas and in the application of
this our youth might well be employed.
The making of good roads also is a contribution to the per
manent welfare of our nation. Roads need to be constantly
worked upon and new roads need to be built.
Altogether it is quite proper for a government to go into the
business of improving the natural resources of the nation.
Principle vs. Economy
Wallowa Sun.
A FTER jousting so valiantly but
ineffectually for a state in
come tax under the delusion that
it is the only remedy for an al
leged financial predicament into
which the state is mired, the Ore
gonian seems to be awakening to
its Don Quixotic impulses and the
fact that the taxpayers of Oregon
are in no mood for providing more
money for state officials to spend,
even if it is necessary to sacrifice
such an excellent principle as the
income tax. In a mournful and
melancholy strain, as it sees its
noble heritage of prestige and in
fluence waning, withering and dy
ing under the scornful rays of
public condemnation for its mis
erable flop on the income tax ques
tion, it sadly editorializes thusly:
"But we find ourselves wondering
whether we shall ever again be so
enthusiastic for an income tax as
we are or have persuaded our
selves that we are at this mo
ment?" So far as The Sun is con
cerned the answer to the question
is simple, in view of the stand the
Oregonian made on the income
tax when Pierce, democrat, was
for it, and now when Patterson,
republican, is for it. In spite of
its protestations, the Oregonian
can make no one believe it does
not regard it as a partisan issue.
The real issue, however, is wheth
er the income tax principle is
(

more to be considered than the
necessity for economy. There can
be no denial on the part of any
one, the Oregonian not excepted,
that the income tax to be voted
on at the special election June 28,
is purely and simply an ADDED
tax. It merely provides more
money to spend. Yes, that is all
MORE MONEY TO SPEND
Are you willing to dig and scrape
to make both ends of your family
requirements meet in order to pro
vide our state officials with more
money to spend? We are not.
The more they get, the more they
will want. We shall vote NO.

Your Money Goes Farther
This Way:
People maintain checking accounts in this bank because
they want to get the greatest value from their money.
Their money goes farther that way. They get more ben
efit from it when they maintain a reasonably large aver
age balance. Such a balance provides them with suffi
cient funds for emergencies, entitles them to greater
service from this bank and builds up credit so that, if
necessary, they can secure loans in proportion to their
needs.
Maintain a checking account here with a reasonably
large balance. It will help you get the most from your
money. And you'll be entitled to the maximum of mighty
valuable service from this bank.
