Relief from Relief
XHEN Heppner business men
readily contributed to purchase
a site to bring a box factory to
Heppner they gave recognition to a
principle that is being stressed thru
out the Columbia empire, April 29
May 6. That principle, which Colum
bia Empire Industries are taking the
lead in promulgating is, in effect,
"the more manufactured articles
produced in this region, the more
jobs will be provided, and the more
money workers will have with which
to buy more of the products." Ac
tual slogan is, "Buy to Work, and
Work to Buy."
Naturally, as industries of the re
gion find their principal markets at
home, their output can be increased
only through increased consumption
by home folks. That people gener
ally do not now fully appreciate
what supporting these industries
means is evidenced by statistics that
show home consumers now only
purchase 15 per cent of their total
purchases from articles made or
grown in this region.
There is another angle that Gov
ernor Sprague pointed out in his
campaign addresses and which he
is working to effect as incumbent of
that office. That is, if there is to be
a surcease in demand upon public
funds for relief purposes lucrative
jobs must be found for those out of
employment. He maintains that the
people of Oregon want to be inde
pendent, that they do not want re
lief, but they do want jobs. The
governor is lending his support to
the present ampaign, believing it is
the proper course to pursue in find
ing relief from relief.
Heppner's proposed box factory
has not materialized yet, though its
sponsors say plans are still progress
ing and there has been no change in
expectation to locate it in Heppner.
Hope for better business is still be
ing placed in its realization and the
resultant added payroll.
Payrolls make business, and the
more people on the payrolls the
more business will result. It takes
no wizard to see that. And payrolls
in private industry must come to
reduce government payrolls that
now load a terrific tax burden on
industry without bringing a com
pensatory amount of business.
Absorbing unemployed people in
industry means better compensation
for everyone and elimination of the
tax burden for relief. Isn't that
worth giving extra consideration to
home-produced or home-grown pro
ducts when making purchases?
For Humanity
MILLIONS of Chinese who have
no control over their own destiny
are at starvation's door. War not of
their choosing has been added to
drouth to make a dire situation. De
fenseless women and children are
innocent victims of the plague.
As heart-rending as the situation
is, so far relief funds have but drib
bled into the stricken areas in en
tirely insufficient amount to begin
to cope with the situation, say the
best informed news sources.
Humanity cannot be deaf to such
an appeal. Though pride of a Chi
nese people permits them to suffer
in silence, they must be saved.
America knows best what the Chi
nese have contributed to the build
ing of this country. It owes a debt of
gratitude. An insignificant amount
wll help sustain life for a day for
some Chinese child who in future
may help lead a great enlightened
nation to its proper place in the sun.
Everyone can contribute something
though it be but a nickel or a dime.
No amount is too large or too small.
County Place Names
Cited by Writers
Portland, April 21 That Lexing
ton was named for Lexington, Ken
tucky; that Eightmile received its
name from Eightmile canyon, which
was so named by the pioneers be
cause its mouth was eight miles up
Willow creek from the Columbia
river; and that Hardman honors its
first postmaster, are a few of the
interesting origins of Morrow coun
ty place names found by the federal,
writers' project of the WPA in, re
search being conducted on sources,
origins, pronunciations and mean
ings of all Oregon plaoe names.
This information is often obscure
as much of it is pioneer lore which
has not been written down. The
federal writers' project wants to
obtain, for permanent record all
available data on present names or
names by which places used to be
known for an example Hardman
was once known as Dairyville. Prior
to that the town was called Rawdog
and later, after being united with its
rival community Yaller Dog, it was
known as Dog Town, according to
information obtained from pioneer
records. Anyone having source in
formation concerning geographic
names rivers, towns, lakes, moun
tains or any other place worthy of a
name is asked to write to the Fed

IN 1 932 (last year before
repeal) BEER'S TAXES
WERE PRACTICALLY NOTHING!
lb
Dafo from Liquor Control Commission; license
fees included.
Beer helps even those who do not drink it ! To
the tune of a million dollars a day nation-wide,
beer tax revenue reaches back into every com
munity, to help pay for relief, for public works,
for education... and to lift a burden that would
otherwise rest directly on the taxpayers.
To this, add a million new jobs made by beer.
And a 100 million dollar farm market.
How can we keep these benefits ... for you and
for us? Brewers of America realize this depends
on keeping beer retailing as wholesome as beer
itself. They want to help public officials in every
possible way. They cannot enforce laws. But
they can and will cooperate !
May we send you a booklet telling of their
unusual self-regulation program? Address!1
