HEPPNER'S delegation at the meeting of the State Highway commission In Portland last Thurs day reports a fine hearing on behalf of the Heppner-Spray road. This followed by the budgeting of $75,000 by the Forestry department to be expended on this road in 1930 gives ample reason for rejoicing on the part of those who have been indus triously and enthusiastically engag ed in support of the project The $75,000 allotted is all that can conveniently be let in one contract, owing to the short season for con struction in the mountains. So far it has not been made known on what part of the road the money will be spent This" is immaterial. Reason for rejoicing lies in the fact that with the expenditure of this considerable sum of money added to that already put into the road, the completion of the road within the next few years is assured. Probably there were those who smiled to think that such a small organization as the Heppner Lions club could accomplish much In be half of the project True, the Lions didn't do it all. The results accom plished are due to the accumulative effort of some eleven years put forth by others as well as the Lions. But the sparks sent flying by the Lions landed in inflammable terri tory, resulting in firing a large area. This conflagration has had its effect, and will continue to have its effect in hurrying the completion of the road. SA?TA CLAUS COMES. Morning Enterprise, Oregon City. THE BEST news that has come out of Salem in many a day is that of the reduction of more than a million dollars in property taxes. Announcement that the State Tax commission had cut last year's base which was $2,427,805, justifies the recommendations of the Property Tax Relief commission for the en actment of a law taxing Incomes from intangibles and a law provid ing for an excise tax on incomes of corporations. Every property owner in Oregon will receive direct benefit and the news from the state capital is a real Christmas gift The State Tax commission, which was also created by the legjslatiiie following a recommendation of the Property Tax Relief commission, has estimated the revenues from the corporate excise law and the intangibles tax will amount to slightly more than $1,000,000. The saving will be distributed among the thirty-six counties of Oregon on the basis of allocated state tax. In practical effect the reduction will be greater than the base cut, as the 1929 tax ase would have been in creased by the constitutional limita tion of six per cent if the new tax laws referred to had not been en acted by the last legislative assem bly. This six per cent increase would have amounted to $145,668, so that the actual reduction in proper ty tax will be nearer one and one quarter million dollars. Relief afforded through the action of the State Tax commission will cut the state base to about $1,400, 000, the lowest point in many years. As the time for application of a referendum of the new laws has ex pired there is no danger of the state imtlmtj djrjnl IGpaamt International Sunday School Lesson for December 22 THE CHILD IN A CHBISTIAN WORLD Luke 2:8-20 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. Where ever civilization reaches, there the story of the Christ Child will be told during these immediate days. Though opinions may differ wondrous joy will be experienced by those who even catch the harmony involved in the song of the angels, which echoes on from that Gloria in Excelsis which the Bethlehem shepherds heard about 1933 years ago. Untold millions will be in tune next Tuesday evening. Low waves will carry the songs of cheer to most distant and Inaccessible places. No life has ever touched the whole world so vitally. Read all the Scrip ture indicated by the Lessons Com mittee: Matthew 18:1-6; Mark 9:38 37, 42; 10:13-16; Luke 2:1-20. No teacher has benefitted child hood as has Jesus. Both women and children have better standing where Christianity expresses itself In any manner. This lesson study relates to all children as well as to the Christchlld. Society In caring for a child conserves Its best asset for the future. Always keep In mind that the boys and girls of today will be the men and women of tomorrow. The upstarts of that first century were surely given a Jolt when the Master Teacher ans wered their question about the "greatest in the kingdom of heaven" by placing a child in their midst as an object lesson. Mark records how He took a child In His arms and insisted on child's rights as an getting into a financial predicament through the decision of the commis sion which will be welcome intelli gence to thousands of farmers and other taxpayers of the state. In Clackamas county alone the saving to property will be $50,423.54. The state tax of Clackamas this vear was $364,083.91, while the am ount stated for 1930 is $313,660.37. It therefore appears that with some reduction in the county budget and an increase in total valuations the general millage levy will be at leest two mills under that of the current year, and a similar condition will probably develop in many counties of Oregon. John H. Carkln, Charles V. Gallo way and Earle Fisher were named by Governor Patterson, Secretary of State Hoss and State Treasurer Kay to administer the new tax laws. All three of these members of the State Tax commission are not only keen students of modern tax trends but careful administrators. They have given the taxpayers of Oregon seasonable relief. Santa Claus has arrived and the labors of the Prop erty Tax Relief commission have borne fruit YOUTH. THIS is the age of youth." How often we hear it said, sometimes in extenuation of youthful exuber ance which shocks the elders, some times with the hopeful view that youth, somehow, is going to make the world over. Every age has been the age of youth. Young folks are more voci ferous just now than they were be fore the war. They get more publi city, mainly because there are more mediums of publicity. But in all his tory it has been youth which has gon adventuring, which has injected new ideas into the world's thought which has started movements which have, in time, changed social and economic conditions. It was youth that settled America. The Pilgrim Fathers were mostly boys in their twenties when they landed on Plymouth Rock. The pio neers of Virginia and Pennsylvania were no older. From the beginning, young folk have done things of which their elders did not approve. "The only service the young can render the old is to shock them and. so keep them up to date," says George Ber nard Shaw in one of his "plays. A man or woman must be very old Indeed or have a very poor mem ory, to have forgotten that in his or her own youth the old folks sel dom approved of the activities and interests of the young. And when the young people of today have become the parents of boys and girls of eighteen or twenty, they, too, will be shocked by the things their children will do or want to do. FOOD The late J. Ogden Armour once boasted publicly that he intended to control the world's food supply. The other day his estate was set tled in Chicago. There wasn't en ough money left to pay debts, by some $2,000,000. In Ogden Armour's time it might have been possible for one man to send the price of food up or down as he willed. It is impossible today, and it will be forever impossible when the food producers of the na tion fully avail themselves of the opportunity to control their own markets which is open to them un der the Federal Farm Board act. RADIO Somebody has to pay for radio broadcasting. In England the lis teners pay, by an annual tax on absolute necessity. We can still hear him saying, as in the Golden Text, "Suffer the little children, and forbid them not to come unto me: for to such belongeth the kingdom of heaven," Matthew 19:14. Herein we find Jesus' evaluation of a child. The spiritual King of the world was not found In Jerusalem or in any capital of the world. Shepherds heard the glad tidings as they were caring faithfully for their simple duties in the fields of Judah. They were startled, but at once began their Investigation as they said "Let us now go even unto Bethlehem and see this thing that is come to pass." Multitudes have failed to find be cause they never followed the gleam. One of the most Interest ing stories of the Event Is called "Zerah," by Montayne Perry. The lad was eager to spend the night with Uncle Nabor the shepherd but saw far more by helping his grand father, the keeper of the Inn. Later he came with his little friend Ruth to see the Child. " 'Come closer, lad and thou too, little maid,' said Mary's clear voice, and as they knelt beside the manger she lifted the Babe's wee hand and placed it on Zerah's curls." A worthy response to the Gift of God is for each one to help children receive the benefits which come through the practise of His teach ings. Such good news must be pass ed on, and where most needed. The shepherds went forth at once to proclaim their new found Informa tion. The writer extends the greetings' of "MERRY CHRISTMAS" to all his readers. rmsm 1 A 'Stitch in Time a ;iTm:-t7i p . JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. A SNAPSHOT The practice of medicine is not a business, in the strict sense of the word; it is a profession, based on zeal to serve humanity, to prevent sickness and suffering, to minister to mankind and to postpone death as long as humanly possible. Your family doctor does not claim to do miracles; he makes none of the pre tensions of the quack. He docs not advertise, for several good reasons: First, he does not need to; his work speaks for itself. Second, all quacks advertise; having little on no actual skill, they must make people think they have, by boasting of talent which they do not possess. Third, the doctor loathes humbuggery, and does not wear a mask. Fourth, he is in a profession, not a business; his work is largely humanitarian; a great per cnt of it is for charity. Sometimes the editor gets mad because the doctor does not adver tise as fake healers do; that's be cause the editor does not under stand and the doctor does not blame him for what he does not receiving sets, and the Government controls the operation of the broad casting stations. That is a system which Americans would never tol erate. There is too much Govern ment regulation of the spoken word as well as of print, even now. In this country it is the advertis ers who pay for broadcasting. Advertising and the distribution of news and information are a prop er function of newspapers. Some newspapers now operate broadcast ing stations, and their programs are among the best on the air. In the natural evolution of things, news papers will some day take over all PINKY DINKY taking no chances By TERRY GILKISON s$- ( s H-SH.

In fact the doctor is the editor's good friend, though often unappreciated. I never knew a good family doc tor who didn't stand for everything calculated to uplift his community especially churches, schools, good roads, every civic enterprise, in fact. That fact if no other existed, should make a community respect if not revere the silent man who goes about doing good. The family doctor is, perhaps the most meagerly paid in proportion to his days and nights of toll, of any of the professions; very few family doctors are wealthy; indeed, many of their, go quite plainly clad, and enjoy few of life's luxuries. The doctor's bill is usually the last paid thugh I believe our people are slowly growing more appreciative of the good and faithful servant The docior is always a subscriber for his home paper, and reads it; if the sheet doesn't come up to his expectations lu wisdom and policy, he says nothing, because he does not worry over afflictions that can not be cured. broadcasting. RAILROADS Automobiles have boon competing with the railroads for twenty-five years, but average train speeds have not increased in that period. It took the airplane to stimulate the roads to higher speed. The Pennsylvania railroad promises el ectric trains between Washington and New York at speeds of from 90 to 100 miles an hour. This is as fast as most commercial airplanes can fly safely. Eventually all railroads will be operated electrically between im portant centers and train speeds of UP STA1R9 ANPJ K.NOW - HIM THIS, a,w SORE; - I 1.1 A. . 1 K I I I ... I I I PROSA.BLV W" "?

Raymond M. Hood, pres dient of the New York Architectur al league, told his fellow-architects the other night that they hadn't seen arty real American architec ture until they had seen Chicago's new skyscrapers. Every time I go back to Chicago I feel as if I were getting a fresh inoculation of Americanism. No other city so completely expresses the American spirit of today. In no other city of which I know do the ordinary people have so many and such wonderful opportunities to get the most out of life. New York still looks to Europe and the past for its traditions and culture; Chi cago is developing a culture of its own which will set the American standard for centuries to come. DIRIGIBLES Arlplanes stir man's pride In hu manity's achievement of what the birds have always known. Air ships like the Los Angeles or the Graf Zeppiin, stir the imagination with something like awe. They re semble nothing else on earth. They might be visitors from another planet It is possible that the discovery that man can ride through the air suspended from a bubble of gas will prove in a hundred years to be more important than the invention of the airplane. Dirigibles will get bigger and bigger, safer and safer. Already they can navigate where planes are forced down. A Zeppelin 1,200 feet long Is being built at Akron. That is larger than the largest water borne ship. The dirigible of the future will bear the same relation to the air plane that the motorbus does to the ordinary passenger automobile, or that the ocean liner does to the speed-boat. Perhaps a combination of the principles of the two types of aircraft may some day displace both as we now know them. jingles' eauo u A JINOU.B OAPWILL ANTA CLAU BRINS Me A 'LECrRIC TRAIN, 60 I WON'T Ba CROSS WMBN IT TART TO RAIM P JtW Ml Wt.fW UIW I PO VOU WANT ( ' 4 (to HEAR AAV J LETTER TO SA-MTAj W,HV TEACHER'S EXAMINATIONS.
