Historical Sociey. ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 19 ST. JOHNS,' PORTLAND, OKEGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1,1922. NUMBER 4 TAX REDUCTION PARAMOUNT ISSUE Tlio recent elections in west ern otatcs emphasized ono point the people want n reduction in the overhead cost of govern ment. Laying asido nil arguments and prejudices for or ogoinst any candidate, the people linvo shown unmistakably that they wish reduction in present tax burdens. It is useless to tell tlu people that thoy aro to blame for present stato expenses. They may havo voted for the tax rais ing measures but in nine cases out of ten the average citizen dot's ho not realizing the aggre gate burden ho is heaping upon himself. . Any man who reads the coun try papers west of the Rocky Mountains could draw but one conclusion, namely, the people wcro demanding a new deal in public affairs. Incumbents in of fice who failed to rccognizo this condition havo been defeated by candidates who saw the nituatiouj Candidates who have gone in to office on a tax reduction and efficiency program in public af fairs must make good with their pre-election promises if they wish to escape condemnation of the people. Holdover public offi cials who are in office must also recognize the present state of public opinion and trim their sails accordingly. Every lino of privato business has reduced expenses. Every de partment s Btatc, city and coun ty governments must do tho same. This docs not mean curtailing ef ficiency. It simply means giv ing more service for tho same money and where possible, bet tor service for less money. I. N. B. PIONEER METHODIST CHURCH CARD OF THANKS.
