County Vote Close
On Sales Tax And
Cigarette Measures
Former Loses By
48 Votes, Latter
Wins by 42 Margin
Voters of Morrow county, those
who took the trouble to go to
the polls Tuesday, were quite
evenly divided on the sales tax
and cigarette measures. The
sales tax 1st by 48 votes and the
cigarette tax carried by 42 votes.
As the returns came in from
the several Drecincts it looked
like the measure might carry
and this remained a possibility
until the ballot box arrived from
Boardman and that definitely
placed the county in the nega
tive column. Both Heppner pre
cincts voted In favor of the taxes
but the vote here was not suffi
cient to overcome the "no" vote
In other precincts (a repetition
of the soecial tax election in
June when some of the districts
cast a protest vote while expect
ing Heppner to carry it because
of the hospital).
A total of 774 votes were cast
on the sales tax and 760 on the
cigarette tax. This represents
slightly over one-third of the
voting strength of the county
and is apparently the ratio ex
perienced throughout the state.
The vote by precincts shows
South Heppner voting 30075,
301 51; 30273, 30348.
North Heppner: 300125 ; 301
72; 302128 ; 303-67.
Boardman: 30014 ; 30184;
302 31; 303-66. .

3029 ; 303-16.

302- 15; 303-12.
lone: 30059; 301-S2; 30260;
303 79.
Irrigon: 300-10; 301-42; 302

Lexington: 30049 ; 30144;

Forester Deplores Wanton
Waste of County Wild Life
J. O. GJertson, assistant ranger
for the Heppner district of the
Umatilla National forest, be
lieves in good sportsmanship to
tne extent tnat he would like to
see all users of the forest abide
by the rules. An incident which
occurred early in the current
deer hunting season prompted
him to voice his inrllpnniinn in
the following communication to
this newspaper:
"Huntine season for male Heor
forked-horn or older, opened Oc
tober 1. Two days later the
bloated, stinking carcass of a
full-grown COW elk lav evnncorl
on a new logging spur within a
nan mne oi Bull Prairie guard
station. The once sleek, meatv
animal had been shot three
times, a hind and front leg were
broken, the third shot had re
lieved it of a miserable prolong
ed death. No effort had been
made to bleed the animal or re
move its entrails. Six to seven
hundred pounds of delicious wild
meat had been left for blow flies,
varmints and decay.

"sportsmen" under the glow of
a new red hat, swash-buckling
belt with gleaming dagger and
a fancy rifle. At no time in our
history of wildlife management
has the need for true conserva
tlon been so keen. We slaughter
the coyotes and cougar, condemn
the stockmen for ravaging the
winter range, resort to artificial
feeding, yet our game popula
tlons decrease. The future of our
superb American pastime, big
game hunting, does not hinge
upon these side issues but rath
er the paramount issue which
dwells in the conscience of all
true sportsmen. We may sum
marize as follows: shftot only
what the law permits, shoot to
kill rather than cripple, and con
serve what you kill by protect
lng it from flies and heat thru
proper care and rapid refriger

Hood River Only
County Favoring
Both Tax Measures
So far as can be ascertained
Hood River is the only county in
the state voting In favor of both
the sales and cigarette taxes.
During the reporting of returns
Wednesday morning Morrow
county was. counted in the same
column but this changed with
only the cigarette tax passing
here.
This puts Hood River county
almost in a class with Vermont
and Maine in the 1936 presiden
tial election, but it is hard to
place Morrow county by compar
ison. Linda Neary Of

Council Votes To
Wage Campaign On
Radio Interference
At the regular monthly meet
ing of the city council Monday
evening a resolution was passed
to request that the Pacific Pow

trouble shooting car to Heppner
and keep it here a sufficient
time to locate the sources of ra
dio interference. Many com
plaints have been registered with
the city over the lack of good
radio reception and the council
decided it would be a good thing
to locate the trouble and then
put it up to the people whose
electrical equipment may be re
sponsible for the disturbance to
have it remedied.
It is hoped that when a bit of
trouble is located the individual
responsible will have it attend
ed to without action by the au
thorities. If voluntary action is
lacking the council will take
steps to pass ordinances cover
ing the nuisances and set up the
machinery for having them cor

Business Houses
Agree To Close
During Game Hours
A petition was being circulat
ed today by the business men's
committee of the chamber of
commerce for the purpose of de
ciding whether or not the busi
ness houses will close during the
playing time of the football
games played at the Rodeo
field.
It is the hope of the commit
tee to get all business houses to
agree to close and thus serve a
two-fold purpose to support the
home team and the athletic pro
gram, and to give employers and
employees an opportunity to at
tend the games.
When last seen, the petition
carried a majority of the busi
ness places, and the principal
business houses of the town will
close during playing of games
at home. The band will parade
before the opening of each game
as a signal for the businesses
to close.
