Indications at this time point to a decided cut in the annual budgets made up in the different counties throughout the state. The knife is being plunged to the hilt in Umatilla county, accord ing to the Pendleton Tribune. The taxpayers league has recom mended to the Umatilla county court that $102,173 be stricken from the 1922 county budget. The office of county agricultural agent has been abolished, the county roadmaster has been "canned," the amounts of money allotted each county office has been considerably trimmed, the home demonstration agent will be a thing of the past, while the special prohibition officer will not function in the foregoing county if the Taxpayers' League has its way. Among other items on the budget which the league would like to see taken away from the taxpayers of Umatilla county is the estimated mileage allowed their county judge and commissioners, the stenographer employed in the district attorney's office, one deputy from the sheriff's office, and some dozen or more alleged unnecessary handicaps hanging around their courthouse, which the league avows are useless and will save the taxpayers consider able money; The salaries of all help are also being investigated with a view of lopping off overpaid employes. Many other counties in the state are taking a like attitude to lower taxes, swinging the axe with terrific speed. Whether or not the wholesale slaughter is for the best inter ests of the counties involved and state at large is questionable. If conditions exist in a county that such drastic measures should be taken to reduce taxes there is certainly something radically wrong with the officials, for no government conducted along successful business lines could withstand a sudden upheaval as planned by (he Umatilla Taxpayers' League and continue to prosper, unless very loose methods had been employed by the head of the county's government. In explaining the cause for such action on the part of the Taxpayers' League, one of its leading members had this to say: "We have been voting mills for this and mills for that, until we have builded a mountain of mills and now the dollars are crashing down upon us, until the very foundation of our economic htructure is threatened." Thus it may be plainly seen that the burden of taxation has reached the limit in the eastern Oregon county, and that the tax payers are determined to put into operation a plan that will ma terially reduce taxation, according to their viewpoint. That it can be done so abruptly without jeopardizing the best interests of the people and stifling the progress of the county's future, is quite doubtful. But Umatilla laxpayers'are determined to start the ball rolling. Like many other counties they are going to take snap judgment to get out from under what they have largely brought about by their own efforts at the ballot box in creased taxation without giving due consideration to ultimate results. GOOD EVENING FOLK Well, old mail La Grippe and )" eel. noticed In the paper lust night ' tlutt the city putera were Jut about In the mil Ion or culling in the old town cnrffM' mid putting In a siren. Now the Duds can find any number, of sirens parading around the main streets about curfew hour tune, anu to save the city Home epeiiBe they might pick up a few of 'em. In fact a curfew for the "vllUige vamps" would do more good than a dunging bell to mn the young fries In off the corner from playing "run sheep, run." We used to envy the bird that was 'fortunate" enough to get a few days vacation from the grind on a sick ness complaint, but after having stuck out our tongue 4O01 times lit a doctor for the Mist week, we've de cided that we'd much ratlier liave our Itoman benk edged against a grindstone 303 days In the year.

A sufferer who lives close to n railroad yard In a suburb, wrote the following to a railroad company, complaining' about the racket made by a switch engine: "Gentlemen : Why Is It that your switch engine has to ding and dong and fizz and spit and clang and bang and hiss and liell and wail and pant and rant and howl and yowl and grate and grind and puff and hump and click and clank and chug and moan and hoot and toot and crash and grunt and gasp and groan and whistle and wheeze and squawk and blow and jar and perk and rasp and Jangle and twang anil clack and rumble and Jangle and ring and clat ter and yelp and howl and hum and snarl and puff and growl and thump and boom and clash and Jolt ami Jostle and shake and screech and snort ami snarl and slam and throb and crlnk and quiver and rumble and roar and rattle and yell and smoke and shriek like hell all night long?"

Many public officials say that beauty is a luxury and it can't be afforded. Yet people who go on that theory in handling their own places are not apt to see their real estate ad vance in value much. It is the same in developing a city. It has a rciui-u jjoiicy in many advancing towns, to try to per suade every householder to nla 1 ' aim give uiiuii home a restful setting of foliago. Trees are planted when streets are laid out so that when houses are built the neighborhood seems homelike.

THE COSTLY CRIME WAVE In the midst of the general depres sion there Is one Industry which Is flourishing. The concerns which man ufacture locks, safe-doors and burg-iar-proof devices are busier than they ever were before. One firm, whlcl right now Is dating Its earliest de liveries for next May, has among Its commissions a.i order fir a single steel vault door costing $22,000. It Is to be delivered to the bank In a town of S00 people. It Is an Interesting sidelight on the extent to which the crime wave has affected even remote parts of the country, and what It Is costing the nation any after day for protection. As things stand, the burglar-proof device!' are a necessity, but It would ha cheaper all around for "ocle'y to restrain criminal activity through cd- t'c.iticn and prompt punishment. In stalling the thlef-proof lock Is build Im; hgslnst waste while waste g-ics on. restraining the hand which picks tbo lock prevents waste it th'i soorce a;i makes protection una v-j?snty. Albany Democrat. PARTISAN' cnXIHTT OP THE LATE WAR The Oregonlan assumes to prove hy Sec. Tumulty's book, which It Is printing serially, that President Wil son was a narrow partisan In the conduct of the war. The- proof It of fers is Tumulty's statement that the president was opposed to a coalition cabinet, which nobody has ever de nied. He took the ground that such cabinets In similar crises had usually proven failures, or caused much fric tion that might be avoided by a har monious political group. Whether right or wrong, the president gave excellent reasons for not disrupting his official family at a time of nation al danger. Eugene Guard. WHY AX ASSOCIATION IP NOT A LEAGl'E? President Harding has hinted at an "association of nations" growing out of Ihe present armament confer ence. What he said was so vague and his meaning so undefined that one can only guess what he bas In mind, hut he snld enough to stir up the old controversy which waxed and waned all through the final years of the Wil son administration. It is difficult to conceive of an effective disarmament agreement or any progressive program toward an ultimate complete disarmament with out some International agency for the enforcement of such decisions as are made. Probably Mr. Harding, too. realties this and contemplates some such agency. Astoria Budget. o FOR I.VXCIIEOX 8KT9 and dresser scarfs, 72 Inch linen. STEWART AND WEBB The Art Shop. JX)R SALE.
