Lexington and Concord
' The S. A. R., the D. A. R., Hell'n Maria Dawes and other
professional patriotic organizations are this week engaged in
celebrating the 150th anniversary of the battle of Lexington
and Concord, where on April 19, 1775, the "embattled farm
ers fired the shot heard 'round the world," and shed the first
blood of the revolutionary war.
About daybreak between 70 and 80 militiamen had assem
bled on the Lexington commons to oppose the advance of a
British force of 800 dispatched to seize military stores at
Concord, 6 miles from Lexington, and arrest Samuel Adams
and John Hancock master malcontents of the colonists.
Upon refusal of the militia to surrender, the British opened
fire, killing 4, wounding 9. The colonists retreated and dis
persed, 4 more being killed and a few of the Eritish being
wounded by the shots of the militia.
The British continued to Concord, but found the military
stores gone. They destroyed some flour, set fire to the
court-house, threw some cannonballs into a well, and started
back. A murderous fire, however, was poured upon them
from rail fences, trees and rocks along the road by farmers
and minutemen, with deadly effect, and only reinforcements
from Boston prevented a rout of the entire force. Acts of
vandalism at Lexington and Cambridge during the retreat,
brought fresh forces of sure-shot farmers, and 300 British
were lost before Boston was reached. The American loss
was 100.
Lexington had been warned of the coming of the British
by Faul Revere, 'whose ride has been commemorated in
Longfellow's poem. Revere was accompanied by William
Dawes, an ancestor of the vice-president's, and after leaving
Lexington for Concord, by a resident of the latter town,
named Prescott. Revere was captured by the British, Dawes
fled, but Prescott reached Concord, gave the alarm and sum
moned the militia.
The revolutionary war was fought to establish equality,
liberty, freedom and insure no taxation without representa
tion. Today most of these principles, have been abandoned
one by one as obsolete. Our bureaucratic government is as
tyrannical as ever old King George's was, and we have leSs
eaualitv. less freedom, less personal liberty than the
colonists enjoyed.
While we celebrate the fact that our ancestors had courage
enough to fight for that freedom George Mason summarized
in his Bill of Rights, those principles of government Thomas
Jef srson enunciated in the Declaration of Independence, and
that fiery love of liberty that inspired Patrick Henry, we
must deplore our own inability to realize the blessings their
blood sacrifice secured, and greive for that present day
decadence that tolerates the loss of such a heritage without
courage to protest, let alone fight. So we present the
anomaly of a liberty loving people complacently destroying
the charter of our freedom, secured at such a price a century
rnd a half ago.

-No Cut In Taxes
Governor Pierce now admits, after many denials, that he
; really promised to cut taxes in two during his campaign and
declares that he would have accomplished it, as far as state
taxes are concerned, had the people not repealed the income
tax. The people are to blame, as usual.
With something over $12,000,000 property tax in Oregon
this year and only $4,316,000 or 10 percent as state tax, even
a !I0 percent cut in the latter would not equal the increase in
; other taxes, and as the income tax Is paid by the same persons
who pay proerty tax, there would be no real relief under the
Tierce program, if carried out.
The small decrease secured in the state levy does not
indicate a reduction in taxation, merely in property taxation,
as it is more than made up by special taxation. There has
been no reduction in public expenditures, the only way to
secure a real cut in taxes, and none attempted.
Until there is an honest effort made in reducing expendi
tures through consolidation and elimination of overlaying
of bureaus and superfluous commissions and departments
and centralizing their control under the budget system, taxes
will increase rather than decrease and the governor has
offered no constructive program for the former.

Nonnie did not tell Lille that ber!
mother and Harold were encaced;
in some mysterious compartments. !
She departed for dinner with her
sweetheart.
It hd been ao lone eince Lille
may Vail had been In Hollywood
tiutt to her it waa an unknown
city where h had loft a sleepy
little village.
At the station the whole part'
broke up and went it several,
ways. Harold Kennedy and Mrs.
Vail went directly to the office
of the oil company.
Undo Ovid took Lille and Non
nie to their destination, thence to
his own home. Lille found her,
mother's place a palace (if a low,
ramblin; bouee could be called a
palace) et up tn the foothills.,
Xothinc that ahe had eeen abroad,
wu -to clean and fresh and beau
tiful. ;
She wandered through the
rooms alone. Nonnie, pleading
f;iti-ue, had gone directly uotaire.(
Everywhere the girl saw evidences
of Harold Kennedy's taste. The
quiet elegance of the SpanUh furt
nlhins was in perfect accordance
with the outaide of the hoiue. She,
waa sure that her mother could
not have done it, into the land
acape and its furnishings gave
Lille a sense of peace such peace
as ahe had not had since she re
ceived the letter in Paris.
"I wish Rob were here," she
said to herself, "to aee how beaut i
ful It alt la."
She closed l.er eyes for an in
stant and felt that he waa near
her.
The feeling waa but momentary,
however, for the Japanese butler
came in noiselessly from the pati.
On hli trap waa a cablegram. It
was Uutei a few days before.
Lille hurriedly openM It and
read, "Leaving for home today.
Will stay in New York: only Innff
enough to finish neceaeary businesa
and then on to California and you.
Have visitel you in ray dreams
UtHy. Did you know it. Soon, my
durlinff, those dreams will come
true. KOB."
1he cablegram waa Ilka a mca
sasa from beyond. Slowly the
glrl'a attention returned to her
Hurroundinn.
Llllerr.ay'a thre rooms, euipec
ially built and furnished by Mrs.
Vail, were on a side of the patio.
Directly across were Mrs. Vatl's
rooms.
From every aide of the beauti
ful one-story stuccoed house the
view waa not only beautiful but
awesome.
From her o'vn rooms Lllla look
ed down tlircush the wild canyon
clear to the sea, while on each
Aide the place, seemed hemmed in
by mountains.
"I will lift mine eyes to the ever
lasting hilta whence corae'h tr.y
help." Lille read above the French
window thtf framed a glorious
hilltop. She knew that inscription
had been her mother's Inspiration
for in their direct poverty Mrs.
Vail had taken her daughter out
to a high place on the ranch where
the d Irian t hills had been lopped
with the purple and gold of the
sunset and made her repeat the
sentence.
Lille's eyes fille-1 with tnrs as
she recalled the ceremony.
Then ahe waa attracted by a
noise outride; her trunks were be
ing delivered. Marie began to un
pack them.
Lille walked Into the patio. Slic
was in no mood at . the tune to
think -of fiihionible clothes ana
dainty lingerie, now when her aoul
waa filled silk
God.
She followed the winding rath
down to the swimming pool. A
grove of olive trees beyond invited
her. She walked on.
How lone; aha strollei among
iherl abide she did not know, but,
turning back, ahe heard tho volco
of her rroiher. and knew that Mrs.
Vail would soon be eaUlnarlier.
She went directly toward her
rooms. As aha entered from tho
patio the do:-r leading from her
Klttln; room into tho hall opened.
"Lillemay, my dear little d:tuph
ler, where are you? X want to
welcome you home. I built this
houM for you. Dearest, I want
you at least to be happy In this
homo, all iiie rent of your life."
Mrs. Vail came toward her
daughter, her arms outstretched
tears running down her cheeks.
"Mother, mother, what is the
matter?" the girl exclaimed as ahe
clasped the Utile form close In her
strong young arms. "Surely you
are not unhappy to have me here."
''No, dear, I think I am weeping
because I am happy. At last I have
you here. At last my plans have
borne fruit.
