MORROW county is elated over the news that the First Nation al Bank of Portland has definitely decided to enter the local field. Her people only hope that the necessary red tape preliminary to opening the bank will be cut as short as possible. One year of doing business with out banking facilities immediately available in the community has proved a great inconvenience and no little deterrent to the smooth flow of business. It will be a great relief to have these facilities pro vided once more, and by an institu tion as strong as the big Portland institution. The establishment of such a bank here should return much hidden money into the channels of indus try, and stimulate business greatly. There is no place where a person's money is safer than in a strong bank, and in such a bank each dol lar does double duty. With govern ment guarantee of deposits up to J2500 effective after the first of the year, there no longer remains in centive for putting money into post al savings and thus shipping it out of the community. And the safety of the steel and concrete bank vault as compared with the tin can or flimsy bed mattress need not be given a moment's consideration. People should and will support a local banking institution. Not with the expectation that such an insti tution will play Santa Claus to them, for no banking institution can af ford to play loose with its own or its patrons' money. But the local bank is the only bank that has a serious interest in the welfare and progress of its community, and is the only bank so situated to render the service so vital to that welfare and progress. The conducting of a bank is a business, and a business which, more than any other, must be run on sound principles. That a branch of the First National Bank of Port land would satisfy all that is to be desired of a strong banking insti tution is substantiated by that in stitution's place of prominence in the banking world. It should re ceive whole-hearted support and cooperation in its establishment, and with such reception by the peo ple it should justify the confidence of the officers of the mother bank in the economic future of Morrow county. A hearty welcome to the Heppner branch of the First National Bank of Portland, and may it be with us soon. BACK THE SALES TAX. Tfc Gazette Times has never strongly supported the theory of the sales tax. But it does believe that the tax passed by the recent special legislative session should be given a chance to work. There is no denying that revenue from some source other than real property must be supplied to meet the crisis facing the schools of the state. Certain it is that the 1 percent to be taken from the gross sales of tangible property and utility service will not break anyone. And if the revenue will keep the schools open and guarantee children in the schools today the right of equal ed ucational opportunity with those of yesteryear as well as with those of the future, what few injustices the tax might impose will be many times compensated lor. The present sales tax is different from that defeated by the people last July. It is a more sensible, more equitable, and withal a more justifiable tax. It won't hurt any. thing to try it for two years, and chances are it will do a mighty lot of good. It is said people will sign a peti tion for anything. And such seems to be the belief of the habitual pe tition circulator. But it is to be hoped that this will be one time when they get it "in the neck." IS DR. KERR TO GO? COMING out of Salem is a signed article appearing in the States man of Saturday, which says "an armistice has been called in the field of higher education in Oregon if one can fully accredit reports seeping out of the news front in the last fortnight." The article goes on to say: "Rather the various factions in the flareup of six weeks past are re ported to be in substantial agree ment on these points: "1. Dr. W. J. Kerr will terminate his service as chancellor of higher education on or about June 30, 1934. "2. No extensive Investigation will be made by the state board of edu cation into affairs at Eugene. "3. A casual checkup of Dean Wayne B. Morse may be made meanwhile and his wrists slapped. His removal from the Eugene fac ulty is not contemplated. "4. Quietly the board will at once tart the quest for an out-of-state man as chancellor, his services to begin the school year of 1934-35. "0. There will be public cammen- 1 ' '' I dation by the board in due time of j the work by Dr. Kerr. In no sense will nis retirement De neia an ous ter." Some other items were also men tioned in the article, but the above pertained to Dr. Kerr, and is what the people of the state at large are interested in. Of course, the de nial comes from Dr. Kerr that he has "not resigned." This la prob ably true, and we shall await fur ther developments. If the article quoted here is true, the chancellor is on the skids, and in due time he will b out as head of higher edu cation in Oregon. LESS CORN-HOGS AIM OF AAA PLAN Details of New Crop Reduction Program Explained; Wheat Adjustment Completed. (College News Service. O. S. C.) With work in connection with launching the wheat control pro gram practically concluded in this state, members of the Oregon State college extension service are turn ing their attention to provisions of the new corn-hog control program of the AAA preparatory to taking the information to producers of this state. Final action has been taken by the board of review on reports of county wheat control associations in Oregon, so that now growers who signed contracts are in line for benefit payments as soon as the contracts pass through the neces sary routine channels in Washing ton, D. C. "Word from the national capital is that checks aggregating millions of dollars are being mailed out daily now, so it is likely Oregon will begin receiving some shortly. Essential details of the corn-hog plan, including copies of the con tract forms, have been received by extension officials and are being studied carefully in the light of Oregon conditions. Although it will remain for each grower to decide whether he cares to join in the plan the extension men hope to be armed with sufficient facts in advance of any regular educational meetings to be able to give the grower most of the information he will want in coming to a decision. Participation in the corn-hog re duction plan will be limited to growers producing an average of at least 10 acres of corn or about two litters of pigs annually for the last two years, according to prelimin ary announcement An exact state ment on the minimum limit with pigs has not been received, but the corn limit appears definite. A grower qualifying for hogs can receive benefit payments on them even though he has not been rais ing the minimum amount of corn, by merely agreeing not to increase what corn he has raised. The same is true for one who can qualify only for the corn features. The government is aiming at helping farmers reduce hog produc tion by 25 percent and corn 20 per cent, and these are the reductions that a grower agrees to make in signing a contract. Thus if a far mer has averaged 50 acres of corn a year he will agree to plant not more than 40. If he has produced four litters of pigs a year, he will cut it down to only three. In return the government agrees to pay him for joining in such re duction from the proceeds of the processing taxes on corn and hog products. Such payments, plus the expected rise in prices resulting from reduced volume in production, are expected to bring the growers' returns from these crops close to parity that is, a fair exchange val ue as of 1K09-1914. Corn benefit payments will be in the form of rent for the land taken out of this crop. It will be based on the past average production mul tiplied by 30 cents a bushel. For instance, 40-bushel corn land would bring a cash payment of $12 an acre for leaving it out of production. The hog payment plan Is more like that used with wheat. Each farmer will be given an allotment of hogs amounting to approximately 75 percent of his former average production. On these he will be paid $5 a head In three installments In addition to what he gets for them on the market In fact he will not need to market them at all to collect the payments merely agree to hold his production down to that 75 per cent. Though the corn-hog contracts are a bit more liberal than the wheat contracts regarding the use of contracted acreage, some other features are more inclusive. These contracts take cognizance of the whole agricultural adjustment pro gram and bind the signer not to increase any of the six basjc crops included in the farm act, nor to in crease the total of all his crop acre age for the period of the contract, which 1b one year. The government is undertaking this biggest of all adjustment pro grams to date at the insistent re quest of the corn belt farmers and along lines substantially as recom mended by their recognized lead era, so far as the farm act permits. The chief campaign will be made in some 1500 counties in nine mid- western states. But just as the processing taxes are applied nationwide, so may any farmer Join in the corn-hog plan. Oregon has 17 counties in which more than 5000 hogs are raised a year, and growers in a number of these counties are already showing Keen interest In the new plan County agents are keeping in touch with the situation and will be able to Inform growers as to lateBt de velopments. Mr. and Mrs. Julian Rauch were visitors in town from their farm north of Lexington, where, during the past several days the high winds have been raising cain. The coun try out their way seemed to be all "up in the air" and It is feared that no small damage has resulted to growing grain.

Will we win the first few games of the season, then become over-confident and lose all of the most important games in the last part of the season? The time to prevent this is now. It is not only a fault of the players but also of the student body. Our team has won three games this year and are scheduled to play one of our big games of the season with Helix this week. Our boys have the basketball abil ity, but what they need most is th fight or pep that is necessary to win games. A great deal of fight is se cured from the attitude of the stu dents; so if we want to win all of our games this year 'we have to sup port our team. Talk it up among your friends get that fighting attitude to win, and encourage the members of our team. Our basketball team will fight to the best of its ability for the glory ot the purple and gold if it knows the student body is backing it.
