JOIN HANDS.

People who have interests in PEN
dleton and want to see the town go
forward should start the new year
by attending the wooden mill meeting
to be held at the Commercial club
rooms Monday.
At the coming meeting the work of
disposing of the $4,000 bond issue
will be taken up with vigor and those
in charge OF affairs hope the entire
issue can be disposed of without
great difficulty.
For men who own property in Pen
dleton. or who are engaged in busi-
ness here, the wooden mill bonds fur
nish a good field for investment. Five
per cent. interest does not constitute
their sole return.
From the re-establishment of the
woolen mill and the continuous oper-
alton sthe plant, local investors will
reap great benefit. The re-opening
OF the mill means that the city's pay
roll will be increased; that there will
be greater demand for houses; more
business for merchants and for every
body else in the city.
Then to rejuvenate the wooden MILL
will encourage other industries to
come to this city: Pendleton also
needs a threshing machine factory
and it needs a breakfast food factory.
II the wooden mill >can be made a
success, local people will take heart
and will work to establish these
plants also. Then within a few years
Pendleton will be a little city with
manufacturing as we'll as agricultural
resources. 1t will not be merely a
big farming center as it really is al
present.
Join in, Mr.. Property owner and
Mr.. Business Man. and help finance
the wooden mill.

MAKE 1T EQUITABLE.

If the county court acts fairly at
its session next week it will raise the
county school levy at least one mill.
By doing so it Will make it possible
for the special district levies to be
lowered next year and as a result the
expense Of maintaining the schools Of
the county will be more evenly divid-
ed than at present.
As pointed out before by the East
OIegonian there is much farming
property not included in the bounda-
Ties Of any Of the school districts Of
the county. This property is now
practically exempt from any school
tax.
Then there are hundreds Of large,
profit-making ranches in districts
where no special leyies are ever made
Or where the levles are so small as to
he Of no consequence. The owners
OF these ranches live in the various
towns Of the county and secure the
advantages Of the town schools with
out paying anything towards support
ing them.
BrOad-minded men realize that this
Is not right. Within the past week or
two many big farmers themselves
have declared their entire willingness
- pay larger county school levy II
the court will but require It. The
East oregonian knows Of three or
four Of the biggest wheat ralsers Of
the county who heartily favor the
suggestion made by superintendent
Welles that the county levy be raised
SO as TO permit Of a reduction in dis
trict levies.

~ court makes the tax levy next

ALL THE WORLD AKIN.

World tragedies like that just en-
acted in Italy bring out the fact that
though the people of the earth are
divided into many races, nations and
-creeds, they are all members of one
great family.
When the news of Italia's misfor-
tune was flashed around the globe,
preparations were instantly made for
the work of succor. Probably every
civilized nation of the earth is send
ing money and supplies to relieve the
needy.
The American people have re-
sronded nobly. Hundreds of thou
sands of dollars have already been
raised, the rich and the poor alike
contributing. San Francisco, herself
but recently stricken, sends 100000
to show her gratitude for the favors
received in her time of trouble.
The great battleship fleet, mighty
In peace as well as in war, is now
hurrying to the Mediterranean to join
ia the work Of mercy. Other nations
are doing the same as the United
States.
Misfortune speaks in a common
tongue and her voice is one to which
all the world gives heed, 1t is said
that all men are brothers when they
smile, but this relationship is shown
with even greater force when Sorrow
touches a common chord in the
hearts Of men.
Italy has the sympathy Of the
world in her present distress. If
money and supplies could wipe out
her loss. the terrible earthquake
would soon mean no more than do
the ancient myths Of the Ionian sea.
