Single Copiea - MORROW COUNTY'S OFFICIAL PAPER Foreign Advertising- Representative THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION S2eks Larger Committee. PROBABILITY of elaboration of the original intent of a res olution adopted at the last session of the legislature is indicated by Speaker Carkin of the house of representatives. H. R. No. 21 authorized the appointment of a Property Tax Relief commission, "with power and authority to make such investigation as the members thereof may deem necessary for the relief of the burdensome tax imposed upon real property in the hope that some plan may be for mulated whereby through suggest ed legislation all financial require ments of our state government may be hereafter met by indirect methods of taxation, and direct levy on property for state purposes may be done away with as is done in a number of other states." Speaker Carkin now proposes to go beyond the appointment of a committee of five originally con templated, and include in the per sonnel of the committee as many as twenty citizens of the state for the purpose of probing into the whole scheme of state taxation, and giving representation to such major interests as agriculture, in dustry, banks, public utilities, lum bering, livestock, horticulture and mercantile pursuits. The enlarg ed committee would be requested to survey the needs of the state and to study possible economies with the object of reducing expen ditures where practicable. While the people have rejected the tax proposals submitted by the last legislature, the problem that confronts the state has not been solved, and it is anticipated that a representative group may agree upon plans that will be satisfac tory to a majority of the people and that will attract support from the next legislature. It has been pointed out that in California no direct property tax is levied for state purposes, and it is admitted that in Oregon some classes of in tangibles still escape taxation. What's the Difference? MR. TEX RICKARD will some day write an enlightening book on prize fighting and prize fighters after he gets through with both. Just now he feels that the radio takes part of his profits. At the last million-dollar fight there was one seat unsold, until quite late in the afternoon. Mr. Rickard suggests that listeners-in on the radio should pay twenty five cents each for the pleasure of enjoying fight details. That would produce a five or ten million dol- Songs of Plain Folks 1flie1R.iver Some folks call me a dreamer For fishing: day after day; True, I'm no worried schemer Slaving old age away. My lonely lot they pity And often I wonder why; For they have the clattering city- I have the river ana sky. Mine is the sun bathed river Flowing from dawn till dusk, Flowing, like Time, forever, While fraerance of mold and Of hidden flower and berry Steals through vine-clad trees Where my feathered friends make What treasures match with these; Mine is the great, gray water Flowing from dusk till dawn The satin and severed water That white stars look upon; The cloud-swept moon-disc shadowed With its age-old wizard's face, The leafy shore of the river A whispering, noiy piace. V WssUrn Nipp Unlm, 1M7 1 DtFraiik Crane Saysl S, MISS) HUMAN FACTOR WEALTH OF NATION PEOPLE who pile up billion-dollar fortunes in the steel busi ness, in banking, in automobiles and otherwise are supposed to be the greatest adders to the wealth of the country. Some years ago, however, John Ruskin wrote about "The Veins of Wealth" in an article in which he held that the true wealth of the nation consisted not in the yellow veins of gold running through the earth, but the blue veins of human blood. In other words, men were worth more to a country than nat ural resources. Had the Pilgrim Fathers, who landed on the bleak shores of New England some years ago landed in Manilla, the Phlippines would by this time have been as prosperous as Massachusetts. Take all the Philippines and transfer them to New England and in their stead put New Englanders in the Philippine Islands, in a short time New England would be devastated and the Philip pines prosperous. It is men who make the country. With this in view we consider Senora Esperidiona Chavez, 89 years of age, of Los Angeles, rocking the cradle of her one hun dred and sixty-second descendant. She has nine daughters and two sons and they are all prolific. Mrs. Chavez has therefore added to the country more wealth than that of John D. Rockefeller. Property has to be cared for and property rights to be expect ed, but the most inestimable treasure of the land is its human beings. France is supposed to be decadent because the death rate piles up and the birth rate is decreasing. On the contrary, it is faced by prolific Germany wtih a steadily increasing population. The most important power in the earth is its out-populating power. This, in the end, wins more battles than armies or battle ships. The health and vigor of a nation is a better defense to that nation than armies and equipment. No matter how many tools you have, it takes men to use them. No matter how marvelous and complete is a locomotive, it is valueless without an expert engineer. No matter how good your airplane, you have to have a Lindbergh to make it a success. In the end, it is always the human factor, and men do well to conserve life above all other things. lar fight, and enable Mr. Rickard to begin, sooner, writing his book, "Gloves I Have Put on Others." Some, unsympathetic, suggest that, as the Government can con - trol radio, it should forbid broad casting brutal and bloody details of prize fighting in millions of homes. Government will not al low moving pictures of prize fights to be carried from one State to an other. Why allow the story, by radio, to be carried into every State. It is the broadcasting of prize fights that eventually will STOP prize fighting. Clergymen, listen ing in, will combine to stop the brutality, and they will be able to do it. The wonder is that they have not done so already. Prize fighting is a REAL moral issue, more important tnan jonan ana the whale, Darwin and monkeys. Traveling, Now and Then. THIS country, as everybody knows, has more miles of rail road track than any other country in the world. Something that ought to make railroad managers and their stockholders think is the fact that "common carrier" motor omnibus lines have more miles of bus routes than railroads have of rail lines. Two hundred and sev enty thousand miles for the buses, 257,000 milas for the railroads. When airplanes begin compet ing with the railroads and buses the situation will be more compli- James Jems Hays i v i i - y. musk ( A" merry. vsr . i ii -j . s - , vMUja ' X i inn v xisKVa -i-.rr.- X si ".I rf S I 111 111 Tfl .11 """V 'Lli'l 11 ' mm K 1 cated.

MILLIONS of people have puzzled and still are puzzling over President Coolidge's twelve word announcement: "I do not choose to run for the Presidency in Nineteen Twenty-eight." Many have decided it means, "I am not seeking re-election in Nineteen Twenty-eight. I do not choose it, but if the people nominate me I shall not refuse." The President's meaning to this writer seems just the op posite and absolutely clear. Selecting his words admirably, he says, "I could be re-elected in Nineteen Twenty-eight if I choose, but I do not choose. I have been elected once. I am -entitled to a second election. There is no third election or third term question involved. No candidate could beat me for the Repub lican nomination. No Democrat could beat me at the polls, but I DO NOT CHOOSE TO RUN." Nearly a year ago at the White House, when a second elec tion was mentioned by this writer, the President said, "That is hardly a friendly suggestion." The President felt that if he carried his load untli March, 1929, he would deserve a rest. He has told that to members of his Cabinet. Secretaries Mellon and Hoover had recently told the writer on separate oc casions that public opinion would practically compel the Presi dent to run for a second election. President Coolidge shut his mouth a little tighter than usual and said nothing, which he does with ease. What if the Republican convention should nominate Coo lidge on the first ballot. His action in that case might depend on happenings between now and next July. President Coolidge will not shirk plain duty or set his wishes above those of the people, but when he said "I do not choose to run" he said that he did not want a second nomination and said it sincerely. above named are hereby further noti fied that said C. O. Bunnell will apply to the Circuit Court of the County and State aforesaid for a decree fore closing the lien against the property above described, and mentioned in aid certificate. And you are hereby ummoned to appear within sixty days after the first publication of this sum mons, exclusive of the day of said first publication, and defend this ac tion or pay the amount due as above shown, together with costs and ac crued interest, and in case of your failure to do so, a decree will be ren dered foreclosing the lien of said taxes and costs against the land and premises above named.
