IRRIGATION CONGRESS
Continued from page IL

gated lands which he considers of in
estimable value in securing favorable
action by congress in the passage of
that bill and we are going to comply
with his request.
The passage of the th-McNary
bill will enable many feasible irriga-
ton projects to get under way and be-
come producing communities We
can do much in creating greater
feeling of confidence in irrigation Sc
curities and thereby assist many wor-
thy projects in the selling of their ir-
-rigation bonds at a price which the
securities merit
We believe that the word irrigation
should he included in the official
name of the 1925 fair to be held in
Portland because irrigation means
more to Oregon than any other one
Industry. This far offers us great
opportunity to display the products Of
our irrigation districts and thus offer
substantial testimony Of what water
means to our arid lands for the bene-
fit of prospective settlers.
The next meeting Of the Oregon Ir-
rigatioA Congress will he held in PEN
.dleton December IS. 16, II. 1921, and
viii be attended by everyone interest
ed in irrigation in the state to hear
talks and exchange views with men
who hare made n success of irrigation
and to hear Of the methods used by
them In getting the water on various
kinds Of soils and devise substant'al
methods for improving irrigation in
Oregon.
In short the purpose Of the Oregon
Irrigation Congress Is to work in
practical way to advance the cause Of
irrigation and by so doing build up
the state of Oregon as whole.

bers. many of whom are students at
the University of Oregon. They have
Just returned from a four weeks tour.
One week was spent at Myrtle Point
and last week was spent at the West
ern Lane County Fair. They cancelled
a trip to the Coos County Fair to come
to the Roundup. The band carries

Every community with any get-uT
at all has some particular hobby tC
| which it attaches it's municipal pride
With La Grande. it is her band. now
playing the Roundup. Visitors in the
city can Judge for themselves if La
Grande is justified in the municipal
pride it attaches to it's favorite musical
organization.
Good fortune is probably as much
responsible as anything for the pres
ence in La Grande of 20 musicians OF
more than ordinary musical talent.

its lifetime mark. is affectionately

SENATOR EDGE FOR SALES TAX

Senator Edge is not afraid to stand for what he be-
lieyes to be the right, whether it is the popular side OF an
issue or not. His latest advocacy Of sales tax is another in
stance of his outspoken opinion on public matters once he
has become convinced that it is the right way to solve a
problem.
There is no doubt about the matter of taxation being a
hard problem, People simply do not like to pay taxes and IL
makes no difference what the taxes are for, or how they are
collected. One form is about as unpopular as the other.
The fact remains, however, that the expenses OF the gov
eminent have got to be met, and with the war debt staring
MS in the face the taxes are bound to be high. The question
is. which is the best method of raising the necessary money
for government expenses in order to cause as little opposl-
ton as possible.
Everybody admits that the present method oil taxalloh
must be changed. To find the substitute is the problem
Senator Edge has Joined those who advocate an out ana ou'
sales tax. This is a tax on every article when IL passes 10
the consumer. There are many who object to this method
but the more it is considered the more feasible it becomes
1t is the most direct means of taxation; it is the easiest
method to account for, and can be collected with the least
difficulty. The opponents of the sales tax say it is unpopu-
lar. But can the opponents. of the sales tax find a methoc
of taxation that will be ~popular?
More and more those who give this matter real con
sideration are coming to the conclusion that the sales ta1
is the one solution. The taxes have got to be paid in one form
or another so why try to fool ourselves? Senator Edge ha
set a commendable example. The sooner congress adopts
the sales tax principle the sooner will this vexatious la
problem be served.
