REDUCING TAXES.
We notice that Portland is entering upon a campaign to
reduce taxes and seems to think it is a complex job. 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.

CHURCHES WILL SUFFER.
The spectre of the empty pew is sure to be mnpnifit'd to
morrow. 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?
