PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 7, 1927. BOARDMAN San Francisco to Hawaii Pacific Flyers MRS. A. T. HEftEIM. Correspondent. The Ladies Aid play, "The Stylish Stouts," given Thursday evening at the auditorium was enjoyed by all who attended. It was a light comedy and very well played by the five mem bers of the cast under the excellent supervision of Mrs. Allegra Feess. Mesdsmes Root. Huff, Gorham and Macomber as "golf widows" whose husbands were being vamped by Bess Carleton, a gay widow (Mrs. Chaffee) decided to reduce and regain their lost beauty. It was all very cleverly done and their acting was splendid and brought many laughs. Mrs. Chaf fee as the young widow, created quite a surprise as many of her friends failed to recognize her so clever was her make-up. Mrs. Lee Mead played "The Palms," a beautiful piano selection, in her usual gracious manner. Mary Chaffee recited. A lit tle sketch showing Dad trying to read the Boardman Mirror in peace with various members of the family asking for parts of it was put on by Mr. Calkins, Mrs. King, Mrs. Coates and Oscar Calkins. Mrs. Royal Rands presented Alice Calkins and Jessie Klages in a neat skit called "The Old and the New." Alice, garbed in old fashioned costume, part of it being some of her mother's wedding outfit, sang several songs, followed by Jessie garbed as a present day flapper who sang and danced "A La Mode. Mrs Rands acompanied the girls on the guitar. Mrs. Rands sang "Annie Laurie," playing her own accompani' ment before the girls appeared. Be tween acts Buster Rands and Albert Boardman sang with Mrs. Rands play ing the guitar. This number also made a great hit.. Mrs. Ralph Davis and two sons re turned Thursday from an extended visit with friends in Gateway, Ore. Mrs. Nels Kristensen is pleased to have her sister, Mrs. J. w . Thoma and family of Lemoore, Calif., with her for a visit. Ten yeirs have passed since the sisters met. Ray Brown and two daughters came home Thursday from a week's visit in Walla Walla. On Saturday they motored to Parkers Mill for the three days of celebration. Mrs. Jay Cox and children are home after spending a couple of weeks with Mr. Cox at Rufus. Victor Hango, Linda, Lillian and mother, Mrs. Chas. Hango and baby came home Thursday from a pleasant two-weeks 'vacation trip, motoring to Mayger, Prescott, Astoria, Kelso and other points of interest. J. F. Gorham and family left Sun day morning for a motor trip to Ida ho for the holidays. Mrs. 0. H. Warner is expected home Saturday after a visit of eleven weeks with her daughter, Mrs. John Heck at Redding, Calif. Royal Rands and family spent the 4th at Parkers Mill as did Paul Smith and family, the John Brices and their visitors, Fred Edmunds and daughter Alberta of Ridgefield, Wn. Glen Burton who spent some time here with his parents was married week ago last Saturday to Wilma Snyder of Pilot Rock, at Vancouver, Wash. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nizer, the Chas Wicklander family and the Dilla- boughs spent the 4th at Parkers Mill, Some of the wheat on the project is being cut this week. W. H. Mef ford has cut some on the Cason place and others will have their's cut this week. There is some fine looking wheat here. Those who did not motor to other places for the 4th picnicked at var ious places here. One of the sump tuous picnic dinners was enjoyed by the I. Skobo family, Claude Myers and family at the Kunze home. Another congenial group was that gathered at the C. S. Calkins place with the Kings, Hereims, Meads, Cal kins, Flickingers and Kristensens and the Thomas family of California be ing present. A wonderful picnic din ner and quantities of ice cream were consumed. The day was completed with an evening party at the King home. The next meeting of the Home Eco nomics Club will be held at the home of Mrs. Ed Kunze. This club is com posed of the women members of the Grange who wish to join and is not an exclusive organization. Each mem ber brings one dish and the whole makes a most elaborate luncheon. The members have delightful times.. Boardman poultrymen have been shipping their young cockerels to Portland and other places. The J. R. Johnson family, W. A. Prices and S. H. Boardmans had a most delightful trip Monday, going to the McKay dam and up to Cabbage Hill. F. A. Fortier has purchased a new Essex coach. Bill Gill has purchased a new Chrysler sport roadster. Mrs. Lowell Spagle is clerking at Churchill's store which opened for business last week where Raush's used to be. Mr. and Mrs. Churchill are an elderly couple who moved here from Alderdale where they have been in business for fourteen years, and expect to make this their home. They are pleasant folks, the parents of Mrs. Burton who wag a Boardman resident for the past year. The Churchills are living in Mrs. She man's house. An error was made in stating that Helen Chaffee was a Heppner visitor last week. It was Helen Boardman who accompanied the Johnsons and Mrs. S. H. Boardman. The resignation of Supt. Fred Kelly was received last Friday and Law rence E. Marschat was elected to fill the position. Mr. Marschat comes highly recommended and U well qual ified to handle the position. He is a graduate of Colorado College at Colorado Springs and has tuken work at Columbia University in New York city. For the past three years he has been a teacher at Milad City, Idaho. Mrs. Marschat has been teaching there also, having charge of the pri mary work. Marschats plan to go on to Seattle to attend summer school or possibly to Stanford. Mr. Kelly will teach at Fortuna, Calif., this year. Boardman friends were sur prised at Mr. Kelly's action in re signing at this late date, but the litres yj0L i r mi ii -Hi.r.i..

An ex cellent corps of teachers has been se lected and prospects are fine for a good school year. What might have been a serious accident occurred Saturday night by the Porter ranch. As Porters drove out on their way to Boardman they met a car going west. Another car traveling at a lively clip attempted to pass and could not do so, pulled out of the road and hit the right of way, ploughing up posts and wire. The car, a Chrysler sedan, turned over but no one was injured. The names of the tourists were not ob tained. Another congenial group that pic nicked together on the 4th was com posed of the Packards, Spagles, Dug- gans, Ballengers, Porters and L. G. Smiths, who motored up the highway above Echo and had a sumptuous feed on the banks of the Umatilla. A pretty home wedding was sol emnized Saturday, July 2, at 9:30 a. m., when Sophia Mefford was united in marriage to James Edward Barlow, at the home of the bride. Rev. A. D awogger read the marriage service, using the ring ceremony. The bride wore a gown of gray silk. There were no attendants. The guests were im mediate relatives of both bride and bridegroom and Miss Mabel Brown. Gladys and Eldon Wilson and Chas. Barlow of Heppner, a brother of the bidegroom, and Mrs. Nate Macomber. Mr. and Mrs. Barlow departed imme diately after the refreshments were served for Palouse. They planned to visit overnight With Mr. and Mrs. Tru n an Messenger at Athena. Mrs. Bar low is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Mefford, and has lived in Board- man since childhood. She was a student at Boardman high school. The bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Barlow of Barlow's service station and is a sterling young man. Best wishes are extended to the couple. E. T. Messenger and family and Alvin Wantland and Degareth Wicks of Portland, motored to Athena Mon day and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Truman Messenger. A serious auto accident occurred in of government has increased out of 11 proportion to the ability of the taxpayers to pay and also has in creased out of all proportion to the benefits received. The last legisla ture missed a golden opportunity for public service. Instead of meeting the situation squarely and reducing the expense of government, as the people expected the legislature to do, the issue was avoided and appropria tions materially increased, thereby adding to the so-called deficit. It is j matter of record that a large re duction of budgeted expense has been accomplished up to the the time the income tax recommendation appeared, and that immediately thereafter the savings up to that time were wiped out and over-appropriations running nto millions were adopted. The in come tax as proposed instead 01 re lieving the present tax burden would largely, if not entirely, have been ed in making up these over-appro priations. The legislature also passed the so- called Blue Blank Assessment Bill, which was intended to raise more tax money rather than to redistribute the present burden. This bill would have called upon the taxpayers to pre pare a great mass of detailed infor mation, much of it unnecessary, which would have cost the taxpayers large sums of money to procure and would have caused heavy additional expense to record and tabulate. The Greater Oregon Association consulted with its membership thru out all of the counties of the state and concluded that it was -its duty to lead the way toward a real reform by filing a referendum against this bill. This seemed to be the only way in which the taxpayers could get re-j lief. We found a general sentiment throughout the state against both measures and in lavor ot a radical reduction iu the expense of govern ment. Our association is made up of membership throughout every part of the state and of persons in almost every walk of life. The result of the election shows that the taxpayers of Oregon are fully awake to the situa tion. They are opposed to increas ing their burdens and cannot be led astray by misinformation no matter from what source it may come. As a result of the election the public officials will find it necessary in pub lic affairs to do as the citizens are doing in their private affairs, that is, limit their expenditures to the size of their incomes. If the taxpayers were not now over burdened and the state were in bet ter financial situation and we had public money in the treasury looking for investment, it might be correct to consider a new building program but with conditions as they are, the taxpayer should insist that the public Uoardman Saturday night when Nils J. Person of Helix, Ore., struck small child who was crossing the highway near Peck's service station According to witnesses, Mr. Person was not driving at an excessive rate of speed and did all in his power to avoid striking the child. He made report to Mr. Goodwin, justice of the peace, at once. The child was rushed to Arlington. One of her legs was fractured. Mr. and Mrs. Glen Hadley and ba by and J. P. Hadley motored to Par kers Mill for the 4th. Local trains No. 1 and No. 2 were taken off effective July 3, so Board man postoffice service has been changed. Mail will be carried on night trains Nos. 6 and 6, coming through at 1:16 and 1:45 a." m. The postoffice will be open from 9 till 10 a m. on Sundays and holidays. : Mr. and Mrs. Walter Stutte and two children motored up from Portland Friday and spent the week end with the Falers. Stuttes have a new Chev rolet coach in which they made the trip. Harley Miller, who has been spend ing some time at the D. F. Ransier home, entertained at a pleasant party Saturday night, having about twenty young people in for the evening. Games were played and delicious re freshments were served. Mrs. M. A. Marlow of Pendleton came Saturday and spent several days at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ransier. On the 4th Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Thurman and daughter Margaret were guests. Tuesday Ray Marlow and Hiller Hanson stopped for a short visit on their way to Pendleton from a trip to Portland. It is reported that the John Part- low place has been sold to Glen Ma chon of Idaho. Mr. Machon was here for several days the past week. He may move down later. Association Pleased at Taxpayers' Stand The Greater Oregon Association congratulates the people of Oregon upon the result of Tuesday's special election vote.

The income tax would have been an added burden upon a very large num ber of our citizens. We are well ac auainted with manufacturer's prob lems particularly in the lumber in dustry, and are equally acquainted with the troubles of the Eastern Ore gon grain grower. The grain grow ers of Eastern Oregon have had many disappointments and little encour agement during the last six years, with a result that many of them are deeply in debt. The present pros nects are that they will have a bump er crop this year and at least a fair price. To have required these pro ducers to pay an income tax on this unusual, crop without any allowance for past losses would have been most unfair. The lumber industry nas lind three diRnnnointing years: if this should improve and the operat ors find it possible to make a profit, they should at least be able to pay off the debts accumulated during the lean years before being required to contribute money to unnecessary public purposes. Oregon has a large and comprehen sive road program well under way and deeply essential to the development of the state. The motorists and high way users are underwriting the main tenance of present highways and the extension of road building operations. The outstanding bonds are being properly retired and the program be ing'well taken care of. In the inter est of this necessary development we ere unalterably opposed to disturb ing the highway fund. Not one dollar of it has so far been taken from land taxes, but if this fund should be in vaded and squandered on general ex penses of the state the only relief would fall back on the land taxes. It is our expectation that the Greater Oregon Association will con tinue its activities in the interest of the general public, and to continue SIX Body by Fisher Qjt?
