Danger Rulnor
Is UnfOunded

A rumor got started Monday after
noon that the balcony of the armory
sank six inches under the load of
people and that it is unsafe. This
was entirely untrue. The only foun-
dation in the story was the fact that
the truss rods were put in place when
the timbers were green. When they
seasoned and shrank the rods slipped
enough to let the caps draw down
tight, only fraction of an inch
A Tidings representative examined
the balcony Tuesday and there is not
the slightest crack in the plastering
under the joist, nor in the Joining
with the main wall. In fact there Is
absolutely no sign of any movement.

Ashland's Armory was fittinciv
dedicated Monday afternoon. Tho
ceremonies were held as scheduled
and nearly 1000 people gathered in
the afternoon to witness the ceremo

Judge Watson was master of cere-
monies and spoke briefly and we'll
in opening the afternoon program.
His remarks We're followed by the
Coronation March" played by the
Coast Artillery Reserve ban of Port

Mayor Johnson spoke briefly and
well in welcoming the distinguished
guests to the city, and paying tribute
to Ashland's resources and people.
Mayor Johnson stated that he would
cut short his remarks to give time
to Governor West, the man who put
a new cop in Copperlield.
Judge Watson then introduced the
governor, who was heartily greeted.
He referred to the armory as a So
cial center for the community and
as monument to cooperation be-
tween the city, state and county. He
then took up the Copperfield affair
and briefly discussed the causes lead
ing up to the necessity for the plac..
ing of the city under martial law.
There was no reason, he said, to fear
that any governor could use the mil
tia to oppress the people, as every
governor must have the people be-
hind him to make his acts effective.
Great events make opportunity, he
said. Opportunity does not make
man. Every man must equip him
self to be ready for the emergency.

Governor West Issues Pardon.

Several members of the Ashland
high school junior class played
hockey" to attend the dedication Of
the armory and to listen to Governor
West While there they appealed to
executive clemency to protect them
from the wrath to come and he
promptly wrote them an "uncondi-
tional pardon" and signed 1t as exec
utive of the state. 1t Is reported on
good authority that the pardon failed
to protect the holders from loss of
marks on department. It,is not ex-
pected, however that Governor West
will order out the Coast Artillery to
enforce his pardon.

Pay Your Taxes
Before April l

The change in the tax collection
laws of the state of Oregon, while ap-
parently attempting to permit the
payment of taxes in two payments
according to the recognized rule in
the middle west, was so worded that
the last half (where the first half is
paid by April y draws interest at
the rate of per cent per month. On
September penalty of 10 per cent
attaches. There is nothing to be
gained by paying half the taxes as
the remainder draws 1 per cent per
month, according to the new law.
