To beware OF large interest and to
guard little expenses are lessons as

Let US see how this bill would

The major part Of Uncle Sans

the revenue from imports and var

The more business, the greater
the revenue.
The less business the smaller
the revenue.
What is the purpose Of advertis-

To make more business.
We arrive. then, at the PROPOSE
ton that If we tax advertising. ana

purpose to conserve the supply OF

Tax the Single Man

1t is expected that the census will
disclose at least ten millions of sin
gle men Of manageable age in the
United States. Assuming that one
forth of these are physically incapa-
Bile of marriage, there would be left
enough to materially increase the re-
venues of the government, if taxed
for the luxury of celebacy. 1t is a
luxury in the sense Of s~elfishness.
Single men are able to spend their
earning upon themselves, and to
waste their substance with RESPONSE
bility to no one.
There are substantially as many
single women as there are men, but
most of these would be pleased to
become partners in the establishment
Of a home, if given the opportunity.
Thousands of women are now engag-
ed in industrial and mercantile occu-
pations who would promptly ex-
change their places for the kitchen
and dining room, were their own,
thus giving place to more men in the
business world.
One of the causes of social and
industrial unrest is the fact that wo-
men have so largely displaced men
in stores and factories. None can
deny that the domestic and industrial
status of half a century ago was con-
ductive to better and more normal
standards than the conditions of to-
day. Then there were few women
employed in other than domestic du-
ties. Perhaps the cotton Factories
invited them, but their presence in
the stores, banks and industrial
plants are almost unknown.
In that day men and women both

Keep an Eye on Russian Bear

We note that the Russian Bolshev-
lists, Russian anti Bolshevists and
Russians of all the other score or two
of parties, are united on one thing
they don't want self-determination Of
peoples in what was the old empire
of Russia.
They simply will not have indie
pendence in Ukrania, in Siberia, in
Lithuania, in Letvia and other lands
conquered in the good old Russian
bear days. And so, when the Boil
shevists send armies against those
struggling new nations, the so-called
freeman of Russia, of all parties,
shrek their applause,
A little revolution and a whole lot
of terror and cold-blooded murder
isn't enough to change the instincts
Of that cunning old bear.
One of these days-if it hasn't
already started-will see reaction in
Russia, Already they have a strong
army. The movjiks and nuts of the
old Russian army who couldn't stand
good plain democracy, and thought
they could do as they pleased under
Bolshevism, now find themselves
c~onscripted and disciplined with an
iron hand.
This new army is putting down CIV
il wal and threatening the frontiers.
Next, if historical precedents count
for anything, a Napoleon will arise in
Russia, and the Russian army will
need the strong men Of Ukraine, ST.
IBERIA, Letvia and other provinces, to
go out and help conquer the world.
The Russian bear! For centuries
he fought with nothing else in mind
but to take other peoples lands from
them. For centuries he lusted for
the fat loot of other nations homes.
1t will be we'll for the world to
keep an eye on the bear that walks
like a man."

MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
How Shall Our Debts Be Paid?

In one way or another We must
contrive to raise a billion and a half
dollars annually, says Country Gen
tlemen, on the public debt for inter-
est alone, before a beginning can be
made on the principal. All this is in
addition to our daily needs and as a
contribution to the high cost of lv-
ing.
The expense of the government!
Somehow We have learned to lean
upon the Government and expect it
to perform prodigieS for US instead
of bending our backs TO the burden
as before the war. We need to take
a lesson from the condition of Eng
land, in which country, We are told,
the demands so much exceed the re-
venues that the daily deficit is over
ten million dollars, mainly because
so many men and women have found
it more comfortable to let the govern
ment do it than to meet by their own
eXertions the hardships following the
war.
In the meantime the national oc-
cupation in most countries seems to
be that of calling strikes. If this is
to continue, who is to pay the debt?
Capital says We must work it out.
Labor says virtually; Let capital pay
the bill.
And that is exactly what frightens
capital, which is only another name
for our national surplus. The Gov
eminent found it necessary to draw
heavily on capital in time of val in
the shape of income and eXcess-pro-
fit taxes under a graduated scale that
approached confscation when the FIG
ures were large.
All this means that if labor de-
clines to work, then capital must pay
the bills as long as any capital re-
mains. How, then, will our indus
tries be floated? Our very national
prosperity depends upon holding and
keeping at work whatever capital We
have.
Ii must be remembered too, that
vast sums are invested in enterprises
that depend upon daily labor in order
to be effective. Not only that, but
in many kinds of business the capital
will become extinct if the business is
not pushed.
All capital is invested for the sake
of income. Six per cent is consider
ed good if capital is constantly en-
ployed. If capital is to lie idle even
six per cent Of the time because Of
strikes or insufficient labor, how shall
it carr its dividends?
This all means, if it means any,
thing, that whatever we do not earn
through keeping our capital busy we
must earn by hard labor and perhaps
under great disadvantage if our cap
ital should sink SO low as to make
the proper equipment of factories
and similar plants impossible.
Wherefore, the sooner all classes
of people begin to realize that the
biggest question now is not greater
wages and shorter days but rather a
buster country, at least until this debt
begins to shrink. The sooner we be-
gin to realize that, the better for
everybody, and let us deal justly, es-
pecially with the workmen, but let
us not fool away our capital nor
smash our Investments
Above all, let US have an end of
strikes. Farmers will plant corn next
May as certain as the season comes
round. In the same way and for the
same reason let all men everywhere
work at the jobs which they have Sc
lected by reason of the occupation
they have chosen.

dollars are gone, yes, gone forever.
1t is gratifying to The Gazette-Times
to note the fact that Heppner mer-
