jor classes of tax payers each of
whom get about ten percent re
duction in their taxes.
Whether this sort of a program
will stand up or not cannot be
foretold at this time. The senate
so far has not made any serious
changes in the school bills, having
only offered amendments to further
insure the preservation of the fund
for the main property taxes.
It is probable that the bills in
their main wording will stand.
What the senate will do to the
income tax bill is another matter.

doctoring, more for clothing, more
for everything. The cost of help is
more, too. Then the governor has
asked for a greater fund for the
penEiinoers which means another
two million dollars.
Even a state with a moderate
surplus cannot keep oni spending
money right and left for every

salaries for state policemen and
keep that surplus very long. Es
pecially if its citizens are insistent
that the taxes be reduced at the
same time.
Taxes have been reduced .The
property tax payer gets a little
over ten percent under the school
bill, the income taxpayer will get
about the same and the excise tax
payer nearly ss much Then, too,
the intangibles tax is taken off, the
gift taxes are cut down, the inher

bill that is through the senate.
All of these things together with
some other reduction bills not only
give tax relief where it is hoped
will do the most good but also
give increased revenues to stat?

Mustangs Whiffed
Out First Game at
Arlington Tourney
Heppner"s Mustangs didn't last
long in the district tournament at
Arlington last week, as the Helix
five walked over them by a 35 to
21 score. Helix went on to win a
couple of games from Umatilla
and Odell to walk off with the
championship. They play Union,
the winner of another district tilt
in eastern Oregon, to see who re
presents the district in the state A
meet Salem later this month.
After the finals at Arlington Sat
urday night ,an all-star team was
chosen. The Mustangs placed Jim
Barratt as their representative.
Others chosen by the judges were
Hawkins, Tergeson and Newtson
from the Helix squad; Hill and
Lindgren of Odell; Clough of Ar
lington; Sheard of Athena; Hiatt
of Umatilla and Lucianna of Echo.
Helix proved themselves heads
and shoulders above everyone else
in the tourney. They were paced
by a couple of guards who proved
themselves excellent scorers from
way out, and a lanky center who,
along with doing his share of the
scoring, was a good backboard"
man. The Mustangs were off and
played very much under par. One
of the favorites of the tournament,
Arlington, was beaten by a smaller
Odell five by a 35 to 34 score in
one of the semi-final games which
was the most exciting game played.
Other scores were Umatilla 37,
Echo 31; Odell 40, Kent 20; Helix
31, Umatilla 21 and the champion
ship game, Helix 28, Odell 21.
