O regon, as Second Class Matter CATE C m ' JOURNAL, TllURSDAY, JULY 13, 193d *M i ■- u ---- a .- a - i- .r ' ■' "nrr ' has found. With our own county court such men as Con- ress Walter Pierce, W. R. May of the Portland Cham- er of Commerce and more recently Nevada’s delegation Senator McCarren, R. C. Stitzer of Winnemucca ana Sam Durkee, Nevada highway engineer, have appealed to the Oregon highway commission and the federal bureau of roads for the connection from Nyssa to McDermitt. “We are anxious for the road,” said the Nevada dele gation, “As we need produce of the Snake river valley.” f STARTING THE I-O-N DO YOU WANT TO PAY MORE TAXES? It is gratifying to a large share of the people of Malheur county and eastern Oregon, as well as western Idaho, to know that the Oregon highway commission has appropria ted $50,000 of federal money to building the McDermitt- Rome link of the I-O-N highway. For a long time, it seem ed that the needed cut-off would receive no recognition from the commission but with the backing of the Malheur county court, efforts were finally successful. We can exult that a start will be made for once a road is started, it is sure to be finished. We hope it is finished by the time the vast acreage under the Owyhee project comes into productivity as the I-O-N is a direct road to our best market. We must cultivate all markets. We can be grateful for the influential friends the I-O-N Those who favor the passage of the sales tax July 21, call it a substitute tax to relieve real property but is it that or just another tax. Absolutely the only real property tax which the sales tax even proposes to relieve is the state tax, levied for the sole use of the state government. It is about one-ninth of the total real property tax. We venture to say it will cost the average man far more to pay a tax on everything he buys, eats, wears or uses, than to pay his present state tax. However, it probably will relieve the individuals, large mercantile establishments and corporations that p a y heavy personal property taxes as the measure will remove the personal property tax. Supporters of the sales tax say it will raise six million a year, maybe more. It seems plain that the sales tax is really intended to produce—more money to spend—so that economy in state government will not be necessary. The tax commission favors the sales tax but let us take a look at the commission. Prior to 1909 the state had no tax commission. It got along very well without one as the board of control was the tax bureau. Much of the time since there was but one tax commissioner. According to records he succeeded admirably with the duties. In 1929 the state legislature, ever mindful of its friends, ordered three tax commissioners put on the state payroll. They each receive a salary of $4800 a year. The salary item alone, to say nothing of office help and costs, is $14,- 400, says The Oregon Journal. At the last session when state economy was suggested, Senator Burke of Yamhill proposed to reduce the tax com mission to one. He argues that if excess commissioners and useless members of board and unnecessary officials were abolished the state could quickly cut off taxes instead of adding new ones. The legislature didn’t act. Now, it is up to the people. Vote against new taxes—vote against a sales tax.

Why can not such issues appear on the ballot in plain, simple terms such as “For Repeal of the 18th Amendment,” and “Against Repeal,” instead of the present method of forc ing a man to vote for a proposed amendment in order to rgister his vote against another amendment, and vice versa? Undoubtedly, the first measure on the coming ballot will confuse many voters. At Home These Hot Days, so let the laundry do your washing. We a r e equipped to do it nicely and cheaply. Our Low Prices Will Please THE UNITED LAUNDRY To make it simple, vote 300 X Yes, in favor of the adoption of the article of amendment which repeals the 18th article of amendment— IF YOU FAVOR REPEAL. Vote 301 X No, against the new article of amendment, if you favor RETENTION of the 18th amendment. Mrs. Margaret Pashley, Prop. Nyssa Oregon The article of amendment, section 1, which the voter will favor or reject, provides in simple terms: “The 18th article of amendemnt to the constitution of the United ¡States hereby is repealed.” That should guide the vote | when he marks below, “Yes I vote for the proposed ; amendmnt (favor repeal),” or “No, I vote against the pro posed amendment repealing the 18th amendment). After a little study, the ballot is further clarified by glancing over the statements of candidates for the repeal convention. For instance J. R. Blackaby and C. L. McCoy, candidates for repeal, state: “I personally favor the adoption of the proposed article of amendment.” P. M. Boals and D. C. Deming, candidates on the dry ticket, state: “I personally oppose the adoption of the proposed article of amendment.” The measure for repeal of the state prohibition law is clear and to the point.
