SECOND ANNUAL
COMMERCIAL CLUB BANQUET—
night should be reserved and set
F RIDAY
aside by every interested citizen of Nyssa
to attend the second annual Commercial Club
banquet, honoring the new settlei-s. If parties
are planned for that night, they should be can­
celled, and every man and his wife be on hand
at the high school gym for the affair.
The importance of the Owyhee project to
Malheur county, and to Nyssa, is impossible to
over estimate. A man would have to be blind in­
deed not to realize the opportunity here, and we
must show that we truly welcome these new
people into our community. While the people of
Nyssa are a friendly people, we sometimes fail
to show outward manifestation of our feelings
to those who are strangers among us. After Fri­
day night every man and wife among the new
settlers who have come to make their home in
our community should feel that it is their com­
munity, that we are their friends, that we are
willing and anxious to help them make a home
on the rich and fertile Owyhee lands.
Come to the banquet, get acquainted with
these good people and let them get acquainted
with you. Extend the right hand of friendship
and pray that you will always be faithful to
that pledge of goodwill.

DUNAWAY FISH POND
TO BE A REALITY—
day of rush and grab all you can, it
I N is these
indeed refreshing to find a man who is
willing to do a good deed for the public with no
thought of renumeration or honor. On Monday
one of our good citizens had his big tractor un­
loaded at Dunaway at considerable trouble and
expense to himself, furnished his own gas, his
own outfit, hired a driver, and spent several
hours, including several after dark, getting in a
dam in place so a fish pond could be possible.
It was volunteer work, no charge; and after the
dam was in the tractor and “bulldozer” had to
be moved down the road several miles to be at a
construction job Tuesday noon. The man was
George Henly.
A spillway will be constructed at the dam
built Monday and the pond stocked with bass.
Fishermen, young and old, will have many hours
of sport there in years to come, for the game de­
partment has agreed to stock it liberally. After
you’ve had a half hour struggle with a five
pound bass and are getting ready for another
try, pause and give thanks to the man who made
the dam possible.
And when you’re thinking of the good work
done by George Henly, also give a thought to
Roy Pounds who was right there with him all the
time and was a big factor in finally getting the
dam in place.
PUT TAXES
INTO YOUR BUDGET—
HAT is the largest item in the American
W budget?
Is it food, rent, clothing or light
and power? If you guess any of these, you’re en­
tirely wrong. The largest item is taxes!
Our annual tax load—federal, state and local
—is now in the neighborhood of $12,000,000,-
000. By contrast, the annual food bill is $11,500,-
000,000—the annual rent bill, $10,000,000,000
—the annual clothing hill, 0 billion—the annual
light and power bill, two billion.
Government, in other words, takes, directly
and indirectly, more of our income than is taken
by the grocer and butcher—more than is taken
by the landlord—twice as much as we pay the
clothing store— six times as much as we pay the
electric company.
But you say, “I’m a man of average means. I
pay little of this tax load—big business carried
the principal burden.”
If you think that, reflect on these figures: If
the entire income of all the corporations in this
country in 1933, the last year of which official
figures are available—had been confiscated for
tax purposes, it would have paid just about one-
quarter of the total tax bill, leaving three-quar­
ters to be made up from other sources!
The facts speak for themselves. Taxation is
the greatest problem the people face and it is
constantly becoming graver.
