Editor an<1 Owner- VERNONIA FRIEND McSHANE SPEAKS WELL OF OUR EFFORTS From Hubbard, in the Willamette valley — Hubbard, the butter and chicken center, to say nothing of the loganberry industry that surrounds it conic - last week’s Enterprise with a nice little bonquet from Editor Mc Shane. and when “Me.” says anything it c. ti.c» straight from the heart, as that i' tlic kind of a man he is. See •hi. "Editor Paul Robinson, of the Ver nonia Eagle sent out New Year greet-' in,-- printed on that friend of all of- nce»—I lotting paper, wishing success and enjoyment during the year and that every accomplishment would be a r«al benefit to mankind.—Truly ap preciated and gratefully received. It is an optimistic blotter and we hope nothing serious will happen that may cause ts spirited message to be rnarriM with bottled ink. Thanks. Paul, .nd may the good works you nre starting in your field outlive the forest giants of your hills. The ad vertising value of that blotter is worth more to Vernonia and its environs than the editor of the Vernonia Eagle will ever compute or his loyal sup- porters dream.” A CITY PARK LESTEH 8HEELEY Along with improvements and ne cessities badly needed, the Eagle hopes we will not lose sight of the tact that we will soon be a big city, without a city park, if something isn’t done in the near future toward locating one. A tourist camp ground and city park and play ground is of vast importance to any live city. What say? ATTOKNIY-AT-LAW 4 Vernonia. Oregon. JOHN L. FOOTE ATTORNEY-AT-LAW TAX FREE BONDS St. Helena, With the approval of the adminis- | tration there has been introduced in congress a resolution to propose to the states a constitutional amend ment prohibiting the issue of tax- exempt securities by national or state authority. As a practical matter it is unfortu nate that tax-free bonds were ever issued by states or nation. In this country the practice began when pub lic debt and taxation were trivial and no great actual injury followed. Now that there are extant billions and billions of such bonds, those who pay higher taxes as a result arc bit terly complaining. Nothing we can now do will en able us to tax such bonds now out standing. and possibly sad experience will stop the craze of some states and m<>re municipalities to run into debt.
