WILLIAM HYND-

At his home in Sand Hollow on
Monday morning, occurred the death #
William Hynd, one of Morrow county s
highly respected citizens. Mr.. Hynd
had been sick for about a month and
under the care of a physcin. suffer-
ing, as it as ascertained from cancer
of the mouth. though up until this
time it was not known just what his
aiIment was and it was thought his
pain and suffering was caused from
neuralgia. Combined with the com
plications of old age it made it diff
cult to do more than alleviate his suf
ferings and this was done by proper
medical treatment and patient care of
a trained nurse.
A few days before death came, Mr.
Hynd seemed to recover rapidly and
was able to be up and about the place
as usual SO his death, though not un-
expected, was not looked for and came
as a shock to the family at this time.
Funeral services were held at the
farm home on Tuesday at IL a. m.
and the remains were brought to
Heppner and laid away in the Masonic
cemetery at this place at O'Clock in
the afternoon. Services at both the
house and the grave were conducted
by Rev. Charles Dummy pastor of the
Episcopal church of Pendleton, and
were largely attended by the friends
and neighbors of the deceasd.
William Hynd was born in Dundee .
Scotland, in 1928, being at the time
of his death "a years, months and l9
days of age. He farme6 in Forfor-
shire. Scotland, during his younger
years and when about 80 years of age
he moved to the north of England
where he farmed extensively, owning
sUme of the best farms in the county
of Durham. In 1888 he moved to
Ontario, Canada where he faImed
quite extensively till 1898 when he
moved to Morrow county, making his
home with his sons who had previously
purchased the old Powell homestead
in Sand Hollow. Here he continued
to reside until the time of his death.
He leaves a widow and seven child

GIRL IS WINNER
IN TAX DEBATE
ELSIE TELFoRD DOWNS U'REN
ARGUMENTS AT OREGON CITY.
Single Tax to Lead to Anarchy Girl
Tells Judges-Farmer Soon But
a Tenant-AlI Agree.

In the very home town Of w. s.
U'Ren a 17-year-old Oregon City
high school girl, debating against
Single Tax, defeated absolutely the
arguments in favor of the U'Ren
scheme outlined by older schoolmates
in a recent debate.
Miss Elsie Telford was the tenth
grade girl who had charge of the
debate against Single Tax and all
who heard the argument agreed with
the judges, that she won with flying
colors, despite the fact that it was
the first time that she had ever en-
gagged in debate.
Right on Her Side.
Miss Telford declared after the en-
counter that she was sure of her
fight because she had right on her
side, while she was. equally sure her
friends had to debate a cause with
which they had no conviction.
Some of Miss Telford's points were
most trenchant. Here are some Of
them:
Farmer Loses Lana.
I'm case weather conditions did
not favor crops and the landowner
was unable to meet his taxes, then
either the Government would take
the land in payment of the taxes or
it would be sold to the highest bid
der.
This would lead to anarchy.
But more-the homeowner would
defend mis- country and not so the
tenant The hireling will run but

the shepherd will fight The man
with home will fight for it. The
man whose home is owned by the
Government or another, will run
Single Tax Unjust Says Girl.
In her opening argument Elsie Tel
ford said that Single Tax is unjust,
because all wealth should bear a
just and equal share of the expenses
of the Government If all business
and the products of labor are exempt
from taxation, which they will be un-
Ger so-called Single Tax, taxes on land
values, water powers, natural depos-
its, ETC., will have to be raised accord
ingly to make up the deficit.
For the same amount of money as
before will be required to run the
Government" added Miss Telford
THE extra tax on water powers
and natural deposits will not affect
the common man. but the extra tax
on land will work a hardship on him.
Land Taxed, But Not Cash.
For instance, if a man cuts some
wood and raises some potatoes, sells
them and takes the money derived
therefrom to the bank, Single Tax
says his money shall be exempt from
taxation-it is the result of the mans
labor.
But If he cuts some wood and
raises some potatoes, sells them, and
invests the money in few lots for
his home, Single Tax says these lots
must be taxed. Does not this land
still represent the result of this mans
labor? His money in the bank is
exempt from taxation and is drawing
interest as well, but the same amount
of labor invested in land is taxed.
Smatt Home Owner Hit.
"It is the man with the small home
that will not be able to pay the extra
tax. The landlord always has a way
of making others pay it. The man
with a home must get it out of the
land and If his crops fail, where
is he?
Single Tax means the Government
as owner of the land and the farmer
as tenant 1t can mean nothing else"

Delivered TO Graduates Of
Harrison Township

Grove, O.. June 1.-THE baccaleure-
ate services of Harrison township were
held In the Grove Christian Church on
Sunday evening, June Is. The church
was beautifully decorated with ferns
and roses. Long before the hour for
the exercises to begin, the large audi.
torium was filed with the relatives and
friends of the graduating class. The
music was furnished by select Choir
US of young people and the singing
was very highly complemented. Rev.
J. N. Helm chose for his subject "The
Unrealized Possibilities of Life" He
very beautifully showed that men are
staggering at the needs Of the world,
because they are looking at the har-
vest and not at the sower. That we
are proned to follow the lines Of least
resistance and fail. That Christ came
to awaken in us desire for higher
and holier life, and to place in our easy
reach the possibility Of attaining 1t;
and out OF our defeats and wasted
lives, he can bring Joy and victory.
