The 2.3 mills levy for the Port of Morrow is brought out very emphatically, but the Increase In school costs In a somewhat obscure, and vague mnaner. Now, If we are going to peak of the 2.3 mills Increase In taxes for the rort of Morrow on a mlllage basis, shouldn't we speak of the Increase In the cott for our schools on a mlllage ba ftls ftlso? As we all know, the special four year levy for the school building program is. this year, 9.4 mills. The County school cost varies under the different code numbers and Is based on a pro- STAR THEATER Tours TtL. Sat.

Thus we find It In Code 11, nep pner, 4'J mills, up 4 6 over one year ago. In Code 35 1. lone. 4S.3 mills, up 3 9 mills. In cone l. Hardman. 54 mills, up 96 mills. In Code 231, Boardman, 3G4 mills, down 8 mills. Other areas are In proportion. Now, If we add some of these mlllages together, we can easily see where the bulk of the cost for this "Higher Level" Is: For the lleppner area, It Is 14 mills, lone. 13.3 mills. Hardman. 19 mills. Boardman up 1.4 mills only, even with the special 9.4 mill levy. Now. these mlllnces or costs are. no doubt, Justifiable and for the most part acceptable to the tax paying public. At least they were given opportunities to ap nonr at hearings and as In the ease of the 9.4 special levy for the building program, an oppor tunity at the ballot. So. also with the 2.3 mill lew for the Port of Morrow. To me, the Port District ! rr treat Importance to our Morrow County. It Is an Invest ment for the future and the only vehicle we have that will en courage the bringing In of new Investments and the broadening of our tax base. There arc 36 port districts In the Columbia and Snake River areas. All counties bordering the rivers In Washington and Ore gon, except Yakima in Washing ton and Sherman In Oregon, have port districts. Of the ac tive port districts, the Port of Kennewick Is the oldest, having been in operation since 1915. Last vear tax returns for that area, Benton county, from Indus tries now located there, brought in more than $320,000. Let's not minimize the value of our Port of Morrow. OSCAU E.

Of all the ways there are to make living, farming must surely rank near the top of the list from the standpoint of un certainty of results. What could be more risky than Investing your money In an enterprise con trolled bv so many factors over which you have little or no In fluence? But farmers have the courage and stamina to over come all obstacles. Thats why they are still farmers. Just the same, many smart farmers are hedging against ad versity by regular savings. A re cent report by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture shows that American farmers own liquid fi nancial assets in excess oi li billion dollars $14. billion to be exact. The largest single item in this holding is United States Savin es Bonds, with farmers owning $5.2 billion worth, or 36 per cent. Their demand deposits total $4.3 billion, and time de posits $2.9 billion. Their cash in hand was estimated to be f l 9 billion.
