Saturday who hav been overlook

post-mortem solilouuies on the
battle. One Of them was Glen Kill

coaching staff this year.
leland Dcvorc Back
Leland Devore, All-American
man from West Point "a decade
ago when the Army team was ip
its prime, was also at Morgautown
Saturday. Devorc, who married 4
Wheeling girl. is now a major a
the army and just recently return
ed from Honolulu. where he had
been stationed. There is some talk
among the football fans at Nor
gantown Of attempting to get De
Wore stationed at the University
as commandant. a position Harla..
Muma now holds. Whether it will
be more than an attempt, how
ever, is a matter of conjecture,
but it is pointed out by the fans
that DeNorc would be valuable
adjunct to the coaching staff OF
the University. Muma did quite a
little to create college spirit
among the University students
when he first landed in Morgan
town.
Tobin Also Present
Elgie Tobin who is now coach
ing professional football teams,
was likewise among those present
to see the MountaIneers wullop
the Rutgers team Saturday. Elgie,
who was McIntyre's right hand
man on the University coaching
staff for two seasons, was respOn
sible for Nardiccl going to West
Virginia from Youngstown, Ohio,
where both TObin and Nardacci
live. The writer heard several
fans discussing the possibility OF
getting Tobin back at the Univer.
sity to assist Spears. These fans
expressed the opinion that a Tob.

impossible to beat, since Tobin
was responsible for the majority

In a recent issue OF the Burns
Times Herald in which was reprint

II. Anderson, is another story OF
historic interest from Mr.. Anderson,
whose ranch is on Calamity Greek.
The Times-Herald objects to the

with that admission the Argus has
no complaint to make and will grant
that Mr.. Anderson is big man for
both Ontario and Calamity to claim.
In connection with the naming Of

He goes down to Ontario occasionally
where Mrs. Anderson resides most
OF the time because of the higher
altitude OF the home ranch being
detrimental to her health, and also
because Of the school facilities being
better at Ontario for the children.
The Times-H Herald suggested sew

FTGuREs ARE UNFAIR

Statistics often need interpreta.
tlon. Figures set forth in inn
posing array may ne absolutely
accurate and yet leave very de.
oldedly erroneous impression with
the reader. This Is true OF the
statement of unpaid taxes in Nal
heur county.
For example IL is provable by
statistics that Malheur county has
more delinquent taxes than any
county in Oregon except Multonmah,
that It's percentage OF delinquency
ls greater than any other county ex-
cept wallowa; that IL. all the taxes
were paid today II would take all
of the cash in all of the banks OF
the county.
While all this Is true Il gives q
wrong impression to an outsider,
especially to people over in the
willamette Valley, and to people
from the east and middle west. be-
cause great deal of that delin-
quency is due to unpaid assessments
for irrigation districts, for drainage
and other improvements which In
most states are not collected,
through the regular county channels
aud therefore are not listed there as
taxes. aas
While we call them taxes here In
Oregon, these payments are In
reality not taxes at all. They are
capital investments, In some eases.
and operating costs In others. Only
q portion OF the property OF the
county In benefited by their expendi-
turo aud only portion pays for
them.
In tho middle west men drain
their farms themselyes--or did un-
al very recently when the western
plan OF forming districts was adopt
ed--the man paying for his own
drainage arranged for his own
credit aud paid ror his system
directly. Out here. we have adopted
the cooperative system OF drainage.
80 TO speak. aud have used the
machinery OF the state or county to
collect the bill IN instaIiments.
While In the middle west where

lie was improving HIS farm and thus
making II more valuable. or was
saving II from ruin. The same Is
true OF the farmers OF Malheur
county. by putting In drainage
many farms which otherwise would
now be white with aikali are pro-
duoing big crops, The farmers
lands have been sayed--they have
mado improvements, and therefore
the money due on the cost OF these
improvements should not properly be
charged as taxes.
This is 80 because to the average
mind the word taxes means the
money paid for the support OF
governmental functions, such as
police protection. schools, etc. In
considering therefore the delin-
quenoy OF taxes In Malheur county
the sums due for irrigation assess
ments. aud for drainage district
assessments should be stricken, then
we believe that Malheur county's
showing would be far better indeed.

The task Of bringing the associa-

of the association
The amount OF the remittances

100000 Greek refugees, mostly
women. old men and children, are
massed in Greece. Thrace and upon
islands in the Aegean seas and are
threatened with death from starva-
.tion and exposure.
The British and French are now
turning their entire attention to the
relief OF the Greek and Armenian
refugees. Hundreds of thousands Of
them will have to be evacuated from
Constantinople and Thrace before
the peace treaty is signed and the
Turkish soldiers occupy both these
districts.
Medical supplies are lacking and
there are only a few nurses and
physicians to care for the dying.
1t Is probable that both England
and France will vote sum of money
to be administered by the League
Of Nations.
American relief stations have
been set up and are now functionlng
