Price Fire Cents WEST OWES A BIG DEBT TO i (I'ortluntl lournal Washington Cor rciomlciiro) WASHINGTON, Jun. Tho re clamation states of tlio wont uro os poclally Indebted to Congressman Nicholas J. Slnnott of Oregon this yoar. Thoy nro on tho way to bo euro $15,000,000 for project oxton slons and now work which thoy -would not liavo had except for tho paungo of tho oil loaslng hill In tho last session of congress, and It was largoly hocnuso of Blnnott's offorts that tho oil hill was so framed that this nionoy was turnod to tho recla mation fund. It this IK., 000,000 woro all tho mono to como from this sourco, tho tnlo would soon ho told. Not much now work could bo startod unless oth er largo sums woro In night to koop tho work going In futuro yoars. That Is what tho olt bill provldos. Monoy will contlnuo to flow Into tho reclamation fund from this sourco, ho tho now work undortakon can bo carried forward without ask ing for direct appropriation from tho treasury. Tho oil leasing bill was a hotly con touted ploco of legislation. It bad fail ed at sovoral sessions bocauso of con troversies ovor tho navul resorvos and dotalls of leasing or sale. Whon tho 05th congress camo In, Slnnott wan ono of tho first to adopt tho all leasing principle As chairman of tho committee on public lands ho becamo ono of tho conferees In tho final stagos, and tt is well-known that bocauso of what lie doomed tho public Intoroit aa op posed to certain oil Interests i ot Wyoming and Utah he deadlocked the bill In conference for a considerable time. Senator Smoot, who lod tile aenato conforoos, finally gavo way and tho bill was passed. Slnnott had carefully gathered fig ures on oil monoy that had been Im pounded by tho courts and would be turned loose by settlements under tbo leasing bill. Ho realizod that hero was a now spring to roplonlsh tho reclamation fund, which had run down by falling off In tho sales of public land and return ot borrowed monoy, which was poorly balanced by repayments from completed units. Aided by othor members from tho far west, Slnnott socurod a provision giving 70 por cent ot tho govornmont abaro from past production and 52 por cent from futuro production to tho reclamation fund This Is tho secrot of whero tho monoy Is coming from for building tho McKay dam, for Horsofly resor Yolr nnd Tulo lands on the Klamath project and, tho beginning of tho big DcschutCB project, bringing Into be ing tho Ilenliam Falls or Crane Prolrlo roservolr. For yoars tho stereotyped roply of tho reclamation sorvlco whon now work wns proposed was "wo haven't itho'Tnonoy." This y.oar tho reclama tion sorvlco said, "wo will havo tho monoy." Tho extensions for tho Umatilla and Klamath projocts camo as part ot tho regular estimates. It roqulred a flank movomont and some skillful work to add tho Deschutes. Ih this spoclal fight for a now Orogon pro Joct Senator McNary chairman of tho Irrigation commlttoo In tho son hto, and Sonator Chamberlain wont to tho front with Slnnott and ham morod nway until a supplemental os tlraato had boon proparod, npprovod by tho prosldont and roturned to tho houso commlttoo. Raports ot englneors on tho Dos chutes project have Indicated that ot tho four units comprising it tho wost sldo unit ot approximately 20, 000 acres would bo favorod for first construction and tho north unit ot nearly 100,000 acres would stand second, though ot course no choice has yot been made On the basis ot pro-war prices tbo estimated cost for tbo wost sldo unit was $40.91 per aero and for tho north unit $55, 58.

K I TT Legion Meeting to Take Definite Stand Upon Bonus Bill i In accordanco with Instructions from stato hoadquartors of tho Amor lean Legion a special mooting will bo hold at tho city hall at 8 o'clock Hat unlny evening for tho purpose of con sltlorlng tho following questiens: To tako dotlnlto action for or against stato bonus bill. Tho measure as now proposed con sists of an optional settlement ot $15 por month for sorvlco during tho per iod of war or a $2000 loan for tho purposo of building a homo or oper ating a farnv This quostlon Is impotrant to tho Klamath post as tho oponlng of tho first unit of Tulo Lnko lands will comprise Bomo 12,000 acres ot land or farm units for approximately 250 ox-sorvlca mon and a long term loan such as suggested In tho proposed moasuro will greatly aid In tho do volopmont ot this tract. MO IN 1920 PI PENALTIES OF NEGLIGENCE Duo, In tho majority of cases, to misunderstanding of oxomptlons, moro than 70,000 persons last yoar woro asscssod a nominal penalty of from $5 to $10 for fnlluro to fllo an Income tax return for 1919, although their incomo for that yoar was not taxable Tho rovenuo act provides a person at exemption of $1000 for single per sons, $2000 for marrlod persons nnd hoads of families, and an additional exemption of $200 for each person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support, It such porson is under 18 yean of age or Incapable -of self support. Tho delinquents last year woro porsons whose Incomes' exactly equaled tbo amount of tho allowablo oxomptlons and who considered It unnocosaary to fllo a return and oth ers whoso Incomo, bocauso ot do- pendents, was non taxable but who novertholess woro roqulred by law to mako rot urns. Tho buroau of Internal rovenuo, thoroforo, this yoar Is em phasizing tho fact that tho requlro monts to tile a return aro based sole ly on a porson's marital status and tho amount ot his or hor Incomo for 1920. Sln'glo persons with net In comes of $2000 or moro must fllo a roturn regardless of whether their incomes are nontaxablo. , Returns of Married Pcntonn Tho exemption ot $2000 allowed married persons applies to tho com bined Incomo of husband and wife, to which must bo added tho Incomo of dopendont minor children. A?COm mon error Is for both husband and wife to claim tho exemption, which Is dosignod to cover essential living expanses. This oxemptton may be clalmod by olthor or may bo appor tioned betwoen thorn as they may se lect. It tho Incomo of olthor husband or wlfo for tho year 1920 was moro than $5000, each should fllo a separata ro turn. This Is for tho purposo ot com puting correctly tho surtax on Incomo In oxcess of $5000, which applies soparatoly to the net Incomo ot hus band and wlfo, nnd not to tho com bined net Incomo. Tho surtax rotos, which apply only to not Income In oxcess of $5000, are computed without benoflt ot tho per sonal oxomptlons. Many tnxpayors mako tho mlstako ot computing tnx on tho combined not Incomo of hus band nnd wlfo, to tholr own disad vantage As an Illustration, In the caBo ot a husband whoso not Incomo was $7000 and that ot his wlfo $2000 tho total normal and surtax, if tho in comes woro combined, would amount to $480, whereas it computed on the Incomo of each would amount to only $350. In tho first instance, deducting tho personal exemption of $2000 from, tho combined incomo of $9000, the tax Is on the remaining $7000. At tho rate of 4 per cent on tho first $4000 and 8 per cent on Incomo In oxcosb ot that amount tho normal tax amounts to $4000. Tho surtax, which Is computed without tho bene fit of tbo personal exemption, amounts to $80, which Is 1 per cent on the amount of income between $5000 and $60000, 2 per cent on the (Continued to Page 8) BIOS or LOCAL l'uplls In tho local schools aro taking much Intorost In tho I'almor ponmanshtp system and many havo won tho first awards otforod.

Pryor of 8an Antonio, Toxas dealt vigorously with tariff and othor con ditions which ho declared adversoly affected tho cattlo raising and ship ping Industry in an address yoster day at tho annual convention of tho American National Livestock associa tion hero. Ho asserted that tho farm and ranch industry Is "tho very life and vitals" of America. Tho farming and livestock Inter ests aro suffering from competition with raw material from foreign coun tries Imported duty free, Mr. Pry or declared. "It they aro formed to do this, then povorty Is their heri tage tho producors aro as much en titled to a tariff on tho so-called raw matorial as tho manufacturers" ho asserted, "Why should they bo compollcd to sell in a tree market and buy in a protected one? It is unjust discrimin ation. "Wo can never prosper long under a systom. of one-half treo-trado, one half protection, or ono-half subsidiz ed and ono-half taxed." Mr. Pryor told of tho competition with cheap labor and declared In Ja pan a man works for as llttlo as 17 cents a, day. Ho' said recently train loads of Chlncso had passod through El Paso enrouto to Cuba to work on the sugar plantations on a wage basis that meant bankruptcy to American sugar producers it forced to competo with them. He1 said 'Australia and New Zealand and other western countries can pro duce beerat two or three cents a pound,, owing to cheapness ot land and Jabor,,whlle in this country It costs sovoral times as much to pro duco beef. Tbo same condition bold good as to cotton, ho said. Tbo speaker described tho cause of uneasiness in the livestock Industry as two-told: "First the withdrawing ot credit y monoy lenders In a largo measure. Socond, the unstable condition ot tho country In general and tho fear of importation of meats Into this coun try free of duty." In conclusion ho said incomo tax rocords indicated tho country has 20,000 million acres and asked "who over heard ot an honest to god mil Honalrei farmer" ho said most mil ltonalres made their money from manufactures from raw materials produced by the farmers but said that while such. a community ot Interest should produce a "fifty-fifty" pro fit tor both producers and manu facturers ho was unable even to guess what per cent the farmor re celved as compared to what. tho man ufacturers obtained for finished pro ducts.

Sheriff Low told how his company had tried to induco Parrish to join them, this being pormlsslblo with tho consent of tho commanding officers. How ovor, ho was told that It he wished to remain with his company ho would receive a promotion. He de cided to remain, and a short tlmo aftorward was promoted to tho rank ot sorgeant. Sorgt.

Her maiden name was Jos- ophlno Harvey. Thoy had no chll dron.. Eventually,- Sheriff Low, who was In tho remount service, was sent to France. About throo weeks later, Sorgeant Parrish followed. Tho Bhorlff heard nothing- moro concorn ing his friend until ho was on his way homo from Franco In Novem ber, 1919. On tho boat with him was a soldier ho and Sergeant Par rish had known whllo at Camp Johnson, and it was then that Low learned the fate of his friend. Ac cording to tho story rotated by this friond, whoso name ho has forgot ten, he saw tho sergeant near tho front In chargo of a detail ot about 20 mon, who woro on tholr way to tho oxtremo front. In good spirits and good health, he sot out with his dotall, tilt before a weok had olapsod ho was stricken with pneu monia and died.

W N NEW SCHOOL TO BE READY ON Ono week from Monday, provldod nothing transplros to Interrupt tho tap of tho hammer and tho sound ot tho saw as tho carpenters pro ceed with their work, tho Falrvlow school houso will bo ready to recolvo tho 125 or m'oro pupils assigned to it, who aro now attending school In tomporary quartors In tho Main stroot courthouso building. Only tho final touchos remain to bo applied. This morning, In company with Suporintondont Wolls, a reprosenta tlvo of Tho Herald visited tho new building, and tho latter, aided by tho superintendent's guidance and In formation, was much impressed with tho adequacy ot tho school' rooms, tho play rooms, tho lighting facili ties, tho heating arrangements, and In fact with all tho arrangements mado for convenlonco ot both teach ers and pupils. Tho school slto Includes a full block bounded by Donald and Fulton streets and Worden and Sargont avo nucs, and tho front ontranco ot tho school building faces Donald stroot, probably 50 foot from tho street. Entering tho building from a baso mont entrance, a forco ot men woro discovered at work. Tho entire baso mloor Is ot concrete, u Superin tendent Wells explained the plans, part ot it will bo made into play' ' room for girl, and part pf It Into play room for boys. Adjoining theso play rooms are the lavatories, la which are tho latest equipments de manded In the interest of sanitation. The heating plant It located be tween tho play- fiiiiu, enough space being devoted to ie plant to Insure plenty ot room" torjfuL.ln the south west corner ot thenaaeraent are the janitor's quarters, which consist ot three rooms, and bath, nicely finish ed, well lighted, and wfth all tho evi dences of household comfort, not on a Yory pretentious scale, qf course, but qulto "comfy" for all that. Thero aro four school rooms, one teachers' room and a library on the school room floor. Tho school rooms aro about 25x30 feet, and each Is "blessed" with light from flvo big windows. Adjoining each of theso rooma aro two cloak rooms, ono for boys and ono for. qlrla. Tho teachers' room is a smaller room which will bo somewhat In tho nature ot rest room. The library la on the north sldo ot tho building, and Is a very pleasant room also, not very'Iarge, but big enough to answer its purpose. Dark stained woodwork, relieves tho whlto wall and celling surfaces, theso surfaces Imparting an extreme ly well lighted appearance. In tho corridor, from which all rooms opon, Is a largo skylight, and beneath tho skylight, in the center ot tho corrl? dor, Is a sanitary drinking fountain. Tho heating equipment Is In place, tbo radiators being largo ot sufficient frequency to Insuro heating comfort, Superintendent Wolls expects the school to occupy the building one week from Monday. Wayno Keese will havo. chargo of the school, and will teach tho Seventh and Eighth grades. Miss Maude Miller will teach tho Fifth and Sixth grades, Mrs. Floroneo Beauchamp,ltte Third nnd Fourth grades, Miss Marjorlo Dolzoll tho Socond grade, and Miss Ella Callahan tho First grado This Is tho samo corps of teachors who aro nqw teaching In tho Main stroet court houso building. Thero are about 125 pupils now at tending school In tho courthouso building, but Superintendent Wolls believes that their number will be increased to about 140 when the new building is occupied. Tho bond issue for ths school houso was for $37,500, this entire amount being consumed by the cost ot tho building and site. Seats and other equipment were purchased Just previous to taking up quarters In tho courthouse building, and all ot this oquipment will bo moved into tne now building. m ' ' WEATHER REPORT.'
