CONGRESSMAN PIERCE
DISCUSSES NATIONAL
RECOVERY BILL
ENROUTE TO WASHINGTON BY
WAY OF PANAMA.
Explains Reason for Recovery Bill
and Intended Benefits; Result of
Gold Buying Policy Uncertain.
More than one hundred people
heard ex-Governor Walter M. Pierce,
congressman from the sixth con
gressional district, speak Wednes
day night in the Union church in
support of the present administra
tion's industrial recovery act, and
on other topics of national and local
interest.
Congressman Pierce and Mrs.
Fierce are enroute to Washington,
D. C., for the next regular session of
congress, by way of San Francisco,
Panama Canal, and New York. Mrs.
I lerce acts in the capacity of secre
tary to the congressman and is
equally as interesting to listen to as
the congressman himself. Mr. Pierce
will speak at Mosier Thursday eve
ning, at Arlington Friday, and be
fore the Igo Grange Saturday eve
ning. He goes to Portland Sunday
where he is scheduled to give a ra
dio address Monday. Tuesday he and
Mrs. Pierce leave for San Francisco
where they take a boat for New
York, arriving there December 16.
In his talk Congressman Pierce
described the scene in Washington
last March when members of the
house and senate passed the banking
till which was signed by the presi
dent and became a law In less than
an hour. Mr. Pierce considered the
recovery bill the keynote of all bills,
which originally included three bil
lion, three hundred million dollars
for financing the different sections
of the bill. The three main reasons
for the bill were for unemployment
relief, to divide the fruits of indust-
ry, and a system devised to collect
sufficient funds to return the bor-
rowed money used In carrying out
the public works program.
Under these three divisions the
public works program is to relieve
unemployment, the business code to
avoid monoply In industry, and the
capital tax of $1 on each $1000 of
declared capital, together with the
gasoline tax and other processing
taxes to insure the return of borrow
ed money used in carrying out the
recovery program, Mr. Pierce said,
These available federal funds, he
said, are being used in the develop-
ment of rivers, harbors, highways.
and on many projects over the states

Farm Changes Hands.
James Omohundro of the Butter
Creek country has purchased the
80-acre farm, owned by 3. L. Carson.
Mr. Carson recently purchased what
is known as the H. W. Klages place
on the Butter Creek highway west
of town. The Carson place is on
the river bottom land on the Brow
nell project near Umatilla.
************9 WASCO TROUNCES LOCAL TOWN
LEGION AUXILIARY NEWS
Unit No. 37
By M. T. Matott.
The Hermiston town football team
motored to Wasco Sunday and
played the Wasco Town team, Was-
co won 6 to 0.
The Wasco team outweighed Her
miston 15 to 20 pounds to the man.
The Wasco line averaged over two
hundred pounds but were unable to
idge the Hermiston line, that aver-
aged one hundred and seventy
pounds.
On the second play of the game
Hermiston shot a pass, Hammond to
Yeager, that was good for fifty
yards, two yards short of a touch-
down. Some one on the Wasco
bench said Hermiston was off side
and they brought the ball back.
That bit of work cost Hermiston a
touchdown and probably the game.
Hermiston's passing attack work
ed very nicely, completing seven out
of nine. Wasco completed one out
of seven.
Ray Woodward did some nice
work on receiving, with Hammond
loing some nice throwing. Ham
mond's fifty yard pass to Yeager,
who went high in the air to receive
the pass, was (he outstanding play
of the game.
Wasco will play a return game
at Hermiston a week from Sunday,
December 3rd. This week Saturday
The new Legion hall was filled to
capacity last Thursday night when
a pot luck supper was given prior
to the regular meeting of the Legion |
post. During the dinner hour Com-
mander Garnet D. Best, called upon
J. M. Biggs of La Grande, former
commander of the local post and al
so of tbe department of Oregon, who
enumerated the different activities
of this post and unit during the past
few years. "Its contribution to the
state department work, and its rep
resentatives to state and national
conventions has been commendable,”
he said.
Mrs. Biggs and Cecil Kelley also
spoke a few words in appreciation of
the feed. Officer Petlnger of the
state police, and membership chair
man for the Pendleton post, told of
his accomplishments in that capa-
city, and stated that his post would
be over the top this year.
Several musical selections were
given by the Auxiliary chorus, and
by a mixed quartet composed by Mr.
and Mrs. Walter Hamm, Mrs. Geo.
Story, and Garnet D. Best.
After the banquet a short busi
ness session was held by the Legion-
naires, and then the remainder of
the evening was spent in dancing afternoon, the alumni will tackle

“ONE OF THE FAMILY” IS PLAY
CHOSEN BY SENIORS.
(From The Bulldog)
At a class meeting November 15,
the seniors accepted the recommend
ation of the play committee which
had as its first choice "One of the
Family.” This is a three-act comedy
and will be given February 2, at the
Oasis theatre, under the direction of
Miss Margaret Elliott, class adviser.
The play committee consisted of
Eugene Pierce, Anna Ray Martin,
Melvin Follett, and Helen Jendrze-
jewski.
The class decided to pay for the
play books out of the treasury, and
to allow no one to try out for a part
unless his class dues are paid.
Announcements were also select
ed at this meeting. The choice of
he class was a three-told card of
heavy paper with the class mono
gram in silver and black on the
front cover. A distinctive feature of
this announcement is that no sepa-
rate personal card is necessary.
