A COMMUNITY AFFAIR

A community hall would be a
source Of pride and benefit to the
Weston community.
This proposition is self-evident,
and does not, we think. admit of
negative argument.
Yet IL it is lawful and right for
the city to pay for half Of this prc-
prosed improvement. it is lawful
and right for the city to pay for it
all--and such course is dictated
by common equity.
Quarters are already available,
and the cost of furnishing them
properly would probably not exceed
$500. Possibly some of the furni-
ture would be donated. The hall
would be occupied by the city coun-
ell, the commercial club. the local
Red Cross and the local library all
of them community organizations.
To propose that the commercial
club meet one-half Of the expense
does not mean that the entire club
would meet it. 1t means that fif-
teen to twenty loyal and active
members men who are called upon
to promote and bear the brunt Of
every civic undertaking will meet
it. Such plan is unfair and places
an unjust tax upon public spirit.
The hall will be for the common
benefit Of all the people. 1t should
be paid for by all the people by
means of city appropriation.

TAX STATISTICS

The Leader is indebted to Asses
sor Strain for an abstract Of taxes
payable in 1918 on the assessment
rolls Of 1917 In umatilla county.
Il shows among other things that
the total valuation is $6i,iss.6OL
which with total county and state
levy Of "a mills will raise $751;.
Tl9.Ss an increase Of 500, ,62s,S6
over the preceding year
The total number of school child
rem in the county is 7Al9, and the
special school tax will raise S226,-
alS.27 fortheir education.
Weston school district has an as
sessed valuation of S76a,t6i, and
contains $50 Children of school age,
Its tax Of eight mills will raise
$6ll5.7l,
The City of Weston has a valua'
tion Of $2SS. S.lsl, and its tax Of l6
mills will raise $S7SO.
BY far the larger item on the
county tax roll is land, which is val
ued ut S25.64a,6O5, or just about
half of the county's total taxable
wealth. The county contains 1884,
900 acres, of which ,S22,sSS acres
are assessed,
Some Of US are able to dodge
Death for awhile at this distance
from the kaiser, but Taxes hit US
every year, Therefore il is well e
know the worst, and in behalf OF
ourselves and other heavy taxpay'
ers we thank Assessor Strain fol-
his information.

THE cHAUrAUuUA GUARANTEE

A theory is confronted by q con-
dition with respect to Weston's
Chautauqau Festival.
The theory advanced in some
quarters is that Chautauqua enter
tainment should not be locally sup
ported in war times. when so much
money is needed for war purposes.
The condition is that contract
was entered into by twenty MEM
bers Of the commercial club with
the Ellison White System-follow-
ing last years successful Chautau-
qua-before the United States en-
tered the war.
These twenty men are bound to
pay the ElIison-White people what
ever part Of the sum Of 1887 that is
not derived from the sale Of season
tickets. Single admittance tickets
do not count on the guarantee to
any appreciable extent.
From the standpoint Of both de
version and education the Chautau-
qua entertainments are well worth
the money-Sl.50 for six sterling
attractions. However. If it is local.
" desired to dispense with this
character Of entertainment during
the war, discussion and action
should nevertheless be deferred un.
til the present Chautauqua is over.
The guarantors were moved SOLE
" by desire to promote the com.
munity's good. They should be
Loyalty supported.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT
HELPS PAY FOR BREAD

There has been much misurder-
standing about the bread program In
England. II Is true that the English
man buys loaf Of bread for less than
an American can, but II Is poorer
bread, and the British government Is
paying $2O0OOO.OO0 a year toward the
cost OF II.
All the grain grown In Great Brit
ain Is taken over by the government
at an arbitrary price and the Imported
wheat purchased on the markets at
the prevailing marker price. This u
turned over to the mills by the govern
ment at price that allows the adul-
terated war bread loaf Of four pounds
to sell at IS cents. the two pound loaf
at 8 cents and the one pound loaf at .
cents.
In France, under conditions some
what similar, but with larger ex'
traction. the four pound loaf sells for
10 cents.

MAKING MEATLEss
DAYS PERMANENT,


In the meatless menu there Is fer
tile field for developing new and n0ur-
ishing dishes, according 20 +. II. NIlet,
writing In the Hotel Gazette, who be-
lleyes that the present shortage of
meat and fats win not end with the
coming Of peace. but may grow more
acute and continue for hve or six
years, thus making It worth while to
develop menus Of grain, vegetables
and Dish On a more or less permanent
basis. Meat can be replaced by cereals
and other protein foods. or may be
served in very small portions MS a fla.
yoring for other food. In making up
measless menus this author finds our
American Creole and southern cuisine
q broad field for investigation.
