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.”

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.

REPEAL MEASURE IS PUZZLE
It is too bad the repeal issue in the election July 21,
could not have been submitted in such a way that the av
erage citizen could vote without puzzling a bit. 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.

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.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE
CALDWELL DAILY
Last Thursday The Caldwell News-
Tribune began the publication of a
dally newspaper, the dally succeeding
a semi-weekly. The new paper will
consist of a minimum of six pages with
full Associated Press wire service, new
features and news of Caldwell and the
Snake river valley.
Caldwell Is indeed fortunate In gain
ing a dally paper as it will be placed
on an equal footing in the newspaper
field with Nampa, Boise, Pocatello and
other Idaho cities of similar size. Busi
ness men have sponsored the under
taking by pledging a substantial In
crease In advertising, the life blood of
newspapers, large and small.
If every issue looks as fine as the in
itial publication of Thursday, we pre
dict the Caldwell daily will be a great
success. May every success attend the
efforts of F. H. Michaeson and Aden
Hyde, the publishers.
