that should never be neglected.
The order imposing heavy tax
upon paddlers covers a greater
scope than most people would
think in giving the matter passing
notice. 1t is a protection to every
business man in Morrow county.
The general purpose and intent is
not to especially prohibit the small
peddler who sells trinkets of small
value, but the main object is to de-
liver blow at the big fakir who
comes every fall with the steel
range, or cheap buggies and
wagons, the inferior and unwhole-
some groceries, etc, who reaps a
rich harvest in big profits through
misrepresentation and fraudulent
methods. The plan Of work with
these fakirs is entirely at variance
with Legitimate business methods,
and the permanent business man
who must shoulder the burden of
government bears the injury.
These fakirs Jump in and are soon
gone. They do not pay one cent
Of taxes and give nothing for the
privileges that they have that are
paid for by home people.
Morrow county people will not
be bothered much with fakirs
after this.

Gazette prints costs money.

Gazette prints costs money.
Many people in their earnest
ness for what they believe, are so
unreasonable that if they are given
one-half column one week, the
next week they want four columns
to explain why they used the half
column, and if this amount of
space is refused, they get mad and
call the paper unfair because they
are not allowed the whole thing.
If the matter IS paid for, no priv.
lege is abused. The man gets
what he wants, the paper disposes
of its stock in trade.

the Pacific States Telephone and
Telegraph company has in this
city telephone in almost every
business house and many private
residences. With the business of
the city and the outside connec-
tions, the monthly revenue runs
into the hundl eds of dollars.
Every resident of Heppner who
owns property that brings in q
revenue is taxed, and each must
bear a certain proportion of the
burden. Not a single telephone
of the telephone company pays
one cent of taxes. 1t is true that
the lines are taxed, but only at
nominal rate in which the number
of phones used cuts but little
figure. For the privilege of
putting phones In the city, the
company should pay tax on each
and every phone. II proper
law were passed by the city coun-
Gil, it could be easily enforced.
Let the telephone company pay
just share of city taxes for the
good money that it is taking out of
Heppner.

TAX THE FAkIRS.

At the last session of the county
court an order was placed on
record fixing a county license fee
of S400 on peddlers and hawkers
operating IN the county. This is
enforcing the authority which the
court is given by the law of the
state. This action of the court is
commendable. The court is the
custodian of the business of the
county in which all citizens are
interested, and the guarding of the
interests of the public is a duty

The question of granting a tele-
phone franchise is now before the
city council of Heppner. OF
course perpetual franchise is ask
ed for. It is not the desire of the
Gazette to be antagonistic to any
public enterprise, especially when
the promoters are residents of
Heppner, which is the case in this
particular telephone question, but
the intent is to call attention to
the fact that present conditions
will not last great length of
time. The city of Portland today
is reaping the results of unwise
action In giving a sweeping fran
chise to gas company. 1t was of
little consequence when the fran
chise was granted when Portland
was a small town, but conditions
have undergone great change.
While Heppner may never be a
great city, still the town will get
larger and the future should be
guarded. Franchises are the
stock and trade of city, in fact
about all that the city has to cell
or give away and the custodians of
this public property should guard
1t we'll.

Brother Bennett, of the Irrigon
Irrigator, who has had much to
say about Morrow county roads,
and, by the way, holds that honol-
able position of vlce-president of
some good roads association, and
who has not been at all times CON-
plimentary in his remarks about
the county court, especially when
there is anything about a road in
the matter, has been appointed
road supervisor for his district
This is certainly getting even all
once. It is said that Mr.. Bennett
is already figuring on building
an elevated, up.to-date, Goth
century ripsnorter of road from
Irrigon to Rabbitville, and that
automobiles will be running out of
Irrigon in all directions. Anyhow
Mr.. Bennett will have q chance to
make good on some of the prize
methods which he has been eX-
plotting with wind and on paper
for a long time. 1t is also re-
ported that Bennett has already
hired herder to drive that 6,000-
900 coyotes that he recently saw
swimming the Columbia, over the
roads, believing that the toe nails
Of the varmlDts will scratch out
the rocks and level the grades.
The county court is even, but it
Vas rather mean way to pay off
IN old grudge.

that J. R. Whitney, the present

Heppner is undergoing the un
pleasant experience of a Goa
famine like several other towns OF
the North west, however, we are
more fortunate than some Others
for the reason that we can get
plenty of wood. While wet and
green wood is undesirable for the
unfortunate husband who has to
build the fires these cold mornings,
still it beats no fuel at all. A re-
port from the United States Geo.
logical Survey, issued this week
states that the mining of coal for
the year 1905, was one of record
breaking activity, the output OF
the Rocky Mountain region, along
with the rest of the country show
ing a decided increase. Notwith-
standing this fact, the railroads
and the Northwest towns are short
on coal. The Gazette does not be-
lieve that Heppner will be able to
get any more coal this winter, SO
we must be content.swith wood.
