The cherry crop in the Grande Hondo valley isn't any thing to rave about this season but otherwise even some pes simists admit that agricultural conditions have seldom been more attractive.

It may be and probably was a vote against tax increase; it certainly was a vote against certain forms of taxation. lint In interpret the returns as a direct protest of a large majority against past and pres ent sunwards 01 stale activity is wrong. Political writers frequently write openly or insinuate that this state has unusually high taxes. That is not true.
