Reducing taxes is the simplest thing in the world spend less money and do without many tilings we now have in a public way. That is the sequel and it does not take a mathematician to figure it out. The difficult feature is for the people themselves to give over power to anybody tp do this reducing, and the further difficulty is to find the men who can capably handle such a trust. The process is not hard when once in operation. For in stance, Oregon can tlo without her state fair, she can do without d hundred commissions, she can run her stale affairs with five men, instead of five hundred, and we believe everyone would get along about as well as we do now. We can do away with what are termed higher educational institutions, for a very small percentage of children attend them and those who do attend, in almost every instance, have parents who could pay their tuition. Or the tuition could be very easily paid in most instances by cutting down the personal expense account of the student which now obtains. In many instances, high schools have gone to seed and the graduates of them cannot make a showing in the three "It's". We have most certainly gone crazy mad over what is thought to be education by injecting a hundred and one things in our schools which have no business to be there. Until we return to the belief that schools are for book study accompanied by a reasonable amount of drills and healthful exercise in which all pupils take part, we are going to continue paying three prices for what good common sense education we receive from the fact that the great expense of education today cannot tie traced to the work in grades but occurs after the pupil leaves the grade work. Then, there is the road program. Even those of us who have been road enthusiasts have begun to feel alarm at the amount of money roads are costing.' The eningeer feature of Oregon highways,, when once tabulated and laid before the voters will defeat any road bond issue in the future. Yes, it is easy to reduce taxes but in doing so we must make up our minds to do without a lot of things which under modern living are thought to be necessities, yet they are not.

When a holiday follows Sunday, and it's summer time, and there are celebrations ftfar off, nnd there tire camping spots to be inspected, and two consecutive days of freedom from work and the responsibility of business, just then man is prone to bundle Ills family into the most convenient vehicle nnd be gone. He will be back at his post Tuesday morning;, tired in body but refreshed in mind. Eastern Oregon presents such a variety of attractions this yar thai the average family is troubled. From the old-fashioned Wild to the dust and excitement of automotive races the whole category of attraction is before us. Whither shall we go? Best let wlfd decide. V DAMMING WATER WITH WATER.
