It's Everybody's Show Next week Is Morrow county's big week and if each person living hereabouts hasn't already taken the time to nurse along some extra-special flowers or cucumbers In the garden, or pick out some of their handiwork of the past year to enter in one of the hundreds of fair display divisions, you'd better get at It right now! Our 4-H youngsters work all year to prepare for their fair week exhibits, yet, the thing that makes a really good fair Is to have the par ticipation of many of the adults of the county. Pick out those extra special tomatoes you've been growing, or a couple of bales of alfalfa, or whatever else you have grown or made, or pain ted, or photographed and get them entered in this year's fair. Your neighbors and friends will like to see what you've done and you might Just come out with enough prize money to buy the seeds for next year's garden. But, whether you can get an entry ready or not, be sure to take In the big show. All of Heppner and Morrow county will be here to welcome you to both the fair and the rodeo. It's everybody's show. . . let's everybody take part. Censorship Through Taxation Ask anyone what the Internal Revenue Ser vice is and you'll get some such answer as this: "It's a Federal administrative agency, whose duty is to collect taxes as provided in revenue laws passed by Congress." But the Internal Revenue Service Is going far afield from its proper and established function. It is, in effect, setting itself up as censor of what enterprises and organizations may say within the province of business management Here Is the remarkable and menacing story. Internal Revenue Service has ruled that electric utility companies cannot regard the cost of insti tutional advertising, which presents their side of the public-vs-private power controversy, as a legitimate business expense, deductible in In come tax returns. Internal Revenue Service has also ruled that the cost of literature opposing socialism Issued by one of the country's most respected profes sional organizations, the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, Is not exempt from tax. Internal Revenue Service has also disallowed public relations advertising placed over a four year period by the Timken Roller Bearing Com pany. This advertising discussed the Bill of Rights, Capitalism vs. Socialism, principles of taxation, and other such matter. In other words, Internal Revenue Service holds that advertising designed to sell products or ser vices is a legitimate business deduction but that advertising designed to maintain an eco nomic and political climate In which private en terprises may successfully produce those products and services is not. It is attempting to muzzle the right of people to speak their minds freely and without penalty and, In doing that, to prevent other people from knowing and weigh ing both sides of controversies. If Internal Revenue Service's incredible stand is malntajned, no one will be immune. Anyone may be faced with the choice of accepting bureau cratic censorship or of paying a heavy penalty for exerting absolutely basic rights which are supposed to be guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. This Is one of the ways in which dictatorship begins.

With a big supply of this Important feed grain on hand, "Chats With Your Home Agent BY ESTHER KIRMIS It's surely "melon season" in Morrow county these days. This was brought to my attention this past week when Miss Betty Sedgewick, of the Oregon State college extension staff of Cor- vallis. and I made a visit to he Boardman and Irrigon area. Melon stands along the main highways were doing a thriving business and out in the fields you saw melons being stacked and crated ready for that all important trip to the Portland Market. We met up with Charles Early, Irrigon melon grower, at the filling station and when Betty expressed interest in taking a crate of cantaloupe back to the extension staff in Corvallls, he invited us to his farm to make a deal. Here we met his charm ing, Australian-born, wife who insisted that we sample each type of melon they raise. We were both thoroughly delighted and "water-logged" by the time of our departure. Mrs Early also has a garden of lovely dahlias which she should surely exhibit at the Boardman fair Sept ember ll-13th, While in Irrigon we called up on Mrs Milton Biegel, chairman of our extension unit's county committee to discuss extra-curricular plans for our program year. Mrs Biegel is librarian at Umatilla and expressed great in terest In our extension project lesson, "Know Your Oregon." She is making a collection of books and magazines at the library in connection with the Oregon Centennial. It was a Joy to see the Blegle's home. They have the Columbia river in their back yard a very peaceful spot. In Boardman we met with 4-H leaders of the Boardman and Ir rigon area at the home of Mrs Don David. We discussed plans for the 4-H club's part in the Boardman fair to be held Sept ember ll-13th. A Style Revue was planned and each club will present one demonstration in connection with the project they are carrying. An invitation will be extended to Miss Marja Virk kala, IFYE exchange student to speak on her native Finland. Miss Virkkala will be guest at the E M Baker ranch at lone for three weeks this September. 4-H home economics clubs that will take part in the Boardman fair Include "Happy Sewers"-Mrs M E Hadwlck, Irrigon, leader; Sandra Davis, assistant; "Fun and Sun" - Mrs Angela Gustaf son, Irrigon, leader; Judy Berger, assistant; "Needle and Thread Same Boardman Teachers to Return- The Boardman public school will open on Monday, Sept 8 at 8:30 for a full schedule.

Jf 3 3, f STATE MONEY The balance in Oregon's treas ury of general fund money as of July 31, 1958, was $103,873,940, Secretary of State Mark Mark Hatfield said Thursday. Of this $6,053,422 was collected by the State Tax Commission, Re venue not yet received according to budget estimates amount to $110,726,891. There were $5,620, 065 in warrants outstanding. The State Tax Commission re ported Friday in giving its new est estimate, an expected $30.6 million left in the general fund when the fiscal biennium ends June 30, 1959. This is just about the same figure the Legislature used in Its tax-cutting special session last fall. Tax Commission Chairman Carl W Chambers predicts that tax revenue of the current year, which started July 1, will be about $16 million less than last year as full effect of the reduced tax rates is felt. Tax officials expect $88.7 million in the com ing year from personal income and corporation taxes. Advertisement From where I sit ... ly Joe Marsh mm Traffic Stopper Every so often I tee little thlnfs that prove that folks really are pretty wonderful! Take last Saturday. I was downtown when I saw a middle-aged woman about to cross a busy street. Just as she started, the light changed, and she hurried back to the curb. But the big moving van that was first In the long line of cars had not moved. "You cross first," the driver of the van yelled. "But you're holding up traffic," the woman said. "Lady," replied the driver ,with good-natured wink, "let's just say you're so good looking you're stopping traffic!" From where I sit, something like that makes the "doer" and the "receiver" both feel mighty good. It's like the friendly feel ing you get when your hostess goes out of her way to serve yea beer even though she doesnt drink U herself. That's pretty wonderful, too!
