If friends of a state income tax
law want to have such a law on the
statute books they will do well to
quit wrangling over the merits of
the two proposed bills. The voters
of the state are pretty evenly divided
on the question. The opponents of
the income tax will undoubtedly vote
against both the Grange and the
property offset tax bills. If friends
of the income tax are divided under :
such conditions any school boy can
accurately predict the result of the j
vote. If only 40 per cent of the
Votes are opposed to both bills, and ,
the remaining 60 per cent oppose I
one and vote for the other the in
come tax idea will be much more de
cisively defeated than it was two
years ago.
Thomaa Fitzgerald, city recorder
of Pendleton for many years, died I
last week. He was a kindly man, |
genial, a great student of human
nature, and had a knowledge of clas- j
sic literature seldom found in th is4
age. His death marked the passing
of one of Pendleton’s real charac- ;
ters.
The poet referred to June as the
month in which "if ever come perfect
days,” but "golden October, the '
crown of the year,” is a mighty good |
month to be alive and working.
“Aimee Blushes” the headline
writer said the other day. Well, why
not?

“T a lk Is Cheap!”
" /T 5 A L K is cheap—but it takes money to

this homely bit of philosophy.
For the American telephone user, talk is
truly cheap—cheaper than anywhere else in
the world. But it takes money to keep hi»
