EIDTORIAL . . .
A Showing of Appreciation Is Due r cope with.
An important highway link has been completed
between Condon and Heppner, providing not only
mooth travel between the two towns but lso the
motive for celebration of some kind.
Those of our citizens who have not traveled
ver this road are unaware that this is a scenic
route as well as a highly serviceable road to those
who dwell along it. They also may not be aware
that it is the beginning of a system that will lead
to central Oregon, that eventually we will be able
to drive to Portland with never a glimpse of the
Columbia, if we so choose.
It has been suggseted that Condon and Hepp
ner and the people the highway serves get togeth
er at a dinner where in a spirit of fraternization
and good fellowship we may make a showing of
appreciation for this fine road. The writer ap
proached Stewart Hardie of the Condon Globe
Times on the subject and he fell in with the idea
at once. It has been presented to the board of
directors of the Heppner Chamber of Commerce
and they too feel that an observance of some kind
should be made. The question remains when and
where to celebrate.
Since the long end of the road is in Morrow
county, it is not out of order to propose that the
Chamber of Commerce, the County Court and the
City of Heppner arrange for such a gathering
and issue an invitation to Condon and the people
earoute to be our guests.
Not Such a Good Hideout
For die second time within a year the Morrow
county jail has housed bad men young chaps
getting a good start towards being real despera
dos. It was one year ago that Jesse Kirkland and
Delbert Emery carved their way out of the county
jail here only to be picked up a day or so later
and turned over to the FBI. While not as des
perate as the bandit trio captured here Sunday,
these lads had broken jail in Tennessee and start
ed on a tour of the country towards the west,
leaving a trail of thefts behind them.
The Avery-Neal-Dahl combination, although
not in die hands of the FBI, have enough against
them to keep them out of mischief for some time.
Had they crossed the state line with Mrs. Havely
in their custody it would have been a different
tory.
It might have been Neal's idea that having
lived in this section and knowing the lay of the
land this would be the place for the outlaws to
le up. His idea may have been good in some
respects, for it is a region of mountain fastnesses,
tut die law enforcement officers are alert and
fearless and that is a tough combination for bad
Oppose Gross Income Tax!
As election time approaches there is a growing
opposition to the so-called Townsend plan the
three per cent gross income tax for the support
of the aged and disabled. One of the strong groups
voicing alarm over die plan is the Oregon State
Grange. From the Oregon Grange Bulletin of
September 20, 1946, the pension plan is designat
ed as a "cumulative sales tax," with the following
comment:
"While reiterating its advocacy of more ade
quate pensions for the aged and disabled, the
State Grange executive committee voted to op
pose the so-called Townsend measure askinf for
a 3 per cent tax on gross incomes, which will ap
pear on the November ballot. The action was
taken at a meeting at Grange headquarters, Sep
tember 10.
"In taking the position that such a tax would
be nothing less than a sales tax in its most dan
gerous form, being cumulative in nature, the ex
ecutive committee re-affirmed the position which
the organization took in 1944 when a similar pro
posal was on the ballot.
"(The vote in 1944 was close 219,981 against,
180,691 for. A shift of 19,695 votes would have
exacted the constitutional amendment).
"State Master Morton Tompkins pointed out to
the committee that agricultural commodities
would be assessed the 3 per cent tax each time
they changed hands on their way from the pro.
ducer to the consumer. Such products, when
grown and consumed in Oregon, would be at a
competitive disadvantage of no mean proportions
with those grown in other states to be sold at
wholesale or retail levels in Oregon.
" "There is no doubt in my mind that Oregon
must do much more than she is for her senior
citizens and those incapable of earning a liveli
hood," Tompkins asserted. "We are morally bound
to give them greater assistance but the answer
will not be found in this type of tax, which, i
enacted, would wreck the economy of the state
The Grange is one of the most conservative or
ganizations in the matter of new legislation and
once sold on a measure will give it effective sup
port. When opposed to a measure it can prove
equally as effective. It is significant that the
Grange is opposed to this bill and it is hoped
all voters will acquaint themselves with the con
tents of the bill before going to the polls.
