YOUNG WOMAN WHO FIGURED

Instead OF being driven from PEN

notoriety which she gained as one OF
the principal figures in the Burke
murder trial last week, Billie Cliff

leave Wednesday for Boise but ex-
poets to return within two or three
weeks.
She has already received a num-
ber of offers to train horses for wild
west shows, she says. and will engage
in this line of bushes upon her re-
turn. She will also attend a number,
of the shows this fall as a trick and
fancy rider. Mrs. Clifford's specially
is standing Roman riding but she is
an all-around horsewoman. In fact,
II is said that there are few women
in these parts who can manage a
horse better than she can. She has
attended the past two Round-ups as

ASSESSOR STRAIN TURNS
OVER ROLLS TO TREASURER
EVERYTHING IN READINESS
NOW FOR PAYING THE
COUNTY TAXES.

Umatilla county taxpayers may now
call upon Treasurer Bradley and pay
over their share OF the taxes. The
rolls were turned over this morning
by Assessor c. p. Strain and every
thing is in readiness for the annual
harvest. Treasurer Bradley has in
creased his regular force by the ad-
dition Of r. T. Brown. until recently
deputy clerk owing to the fact that
no announcement Of the actual date
OF the opening OF tax collection had
been made, no payments had been
made up until noon.
The law provides that all take shall
be paid by the first day of April to
escape penalties. II paid after that
date up until Sept. l, a pentlty of one
per cent per month is required and
after Sept l a further penalty Of ten
per cent is added and the whole am
cunt thus delinquent bears interest at
the rate OF ~ per cent per annum.
Last year quite a number OF tax
payers paid only one half of their
taxes on April 1. permitting the other
half TO go over until fall. They paid
the five percent penalty but subse-
quently the county court rebated these
penalties. The same law is in effect
as last year and no promises that
penalties will be rebated are being
made.

CITIZENS PROTEST AGAINST ANY
CHANGE IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM

that II would destroy local self gov
ernment in school matters. Thus IL
some school problem peculiar to the
LITE school in Cottonwood district
should arise, instead OF the taxpay-
ers ana patrons OF the school in that
community settling I through their
own board. they would cave to come
&c the county seat a present the
matter to a board whiSn could not be
as familiar with the school as the
horne people.
Tie immediate results OF the
Change would be, acco, cling to AS
SCISSOR Strain, that school taxes would
be higher in Pendleton and in the
country communities and lower in the
smaller towns. PendletJn would be
seoarGtcd entirely from the county
system and would draw no money
from the county school fund. Supt
Nourg also declared that the propos-
ed system would necessitate an addi-
tlon to his clerical force Of at least
six lnasmrch as the board would
be a salarled boar additional ex-
pense would be incurred.
The proponents OF the bill claim for
II that 1t would give to the country
schools the same provision that city
schools now secure, that It would re-
suit in uniform school tax and uni
form schools all over the county
Some rrorllncnt rdrcators are lobby
ing for the r,ttsUlC and with su n
success that Senator Burgess, who is
against the bill, declares that 1t will
Pass the senate without doubt.
However, the local opposition feels
that the bill may be killed or chang.
ed in the house.

Fearful OF the changes in the coun-
ty school system which Senate BIZ 81
contemplates, a mas meeting OF citi
zens and taxpayers, held In the PEN
dleton Commercial club rooms Satur-
day afternoon, unanimously went on
record against the bill and voted to
request the Umatilla county delega-
ton to use its influence toward killing
4. or at least in amending II so that
some of the most Objectionable fea-
lures would be eliminated.
S. b. No. 81 proposes to throw the
entire county, save only districts of
the first, class, into one district and
to have all school matters in this dis
trict supervised and directed by a
single board Of five members. The
change is not compulsory but, by a
provision of the bill, may be voted up
on by all of the citizens of the coun
ty outside of the first class districts.
While condemning the bill in toto,
the meeting Saturday urged that II II
could not be killed that II be am
ended so that the system could be
voted upon by the entire county be-
tore adoption.
County Superintendent I. e. Young,
Assessor C. p. Strain and A. ]. Nc
Allister were the principal speakers
at the meeting, They analysed tho
bill and explained 1t thoroughly with
the result that the sentiment against
the bill was practically unanimous. In
Umatilla county the only first class
district is the Pendleton district and
the bill thus aims to throw all OF the
balance of the county into one dis
trict. The speakers declared that one
OF tGe greatest objections to the bill is

in It's determination to crush Germany
ty every means in It's power, even at
tempting to starve women and chill
dren, would not use Zeppelins II she
had them?"
II was Count Ferdinand Won Yep
pelin. the creator OF Germany's dread
ed fleet OF aerial battleships, who
spoke. This was his answer TO pro-
tests raised by Germany's enemies
against the use OF Zeppelins and the
dropping OF bombs on unfortlfied
places resulting in the killing or
wounding Of women and children. His
answer was a justification OF what
has taken place and what will contin =
ue to take place while the world war
goes on.
NO one regrets more than r.
and here the voice Of the aged SOL
6Ier and inventor carried a genuine
note OF unmIstakable grief-'that
non-combatants have been slain, But
have not non-combatants been killed

then. this outcry7

land fears the Zeppelin dirigibles.
She realizes that they promise to de-
stroy her splendid isolation. II Is
because. failing to succeed in build
ing something similar. she hopes to
arouse the world to bring pressure to
bear to prevent the use by Germany
OF these great weapons OF modern
warfare which are not available for
her own cause. II the military eff
feet OF the Zeppelin airships tends to-
ward shortening this terrible war by
only one day, thereby saving perhaps
thousands OF lives-if the Zeppelins,
even now only beginning their devel-
opment as a new military arm, should
prove so effective a weapon as to
make wars less likely to occur in the
future-then their advent has been of
benefit TO humanity quite aside from
peaceful usuages."
