DEEP CUTS MADE IN BUDGETS THROUGHOUT STATE.
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.

Economy is a good thing in municipal affairs, but you can
carry it too far. 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. Vacant land in the outskirts is taken for parks If
taxes can't be afforded to improve it, community work days are
held and the people take hold and make it a scene of beauty Un

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

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.
