On account of the decrease in the.

year the recommendation was for
>139,196.80. Th* amount paawd by
the budget committee is not the ex
act amount asergsed because the
state" taxes are set after the budget
meeting and this makes changes.
The cut in county and state taxes
for 1932 wiU be >38,219.80 of which
>14,219.80 will- be in county texes
and the remainder in tho state. Cuts
that have been made in school taxes
in the different districts holding their
budget meeting in June will lower
the total tax roll of the county to
about 200,000.00 for next year.
One important change in the allot
ment for different county activities
was made in. the market road fund
which was cut from >14,600.00 to
>4000.00 with the understanding that
this amount would be used for main
tenance and for new construction.
This has been made possible through
the* repeal of the market road law.
Another important reduction was
, made when it was decided to make
no appropriation for the county fair
for next year. This action resulted
in a >3000.00 decrease in the budget.
The bridge fund was reduced from
>8500.00 to >6500.00 a sum which

The dangers of wbr time with
some of the action and life of army
days were recalled fleetingly at the
Armistice day celebration in Wasco,
Wednesday.
As post adjutant lee Dehler, of
Frank E. Brown Post 91, called the.
names of those who had * answered
their last roll call for their country
and as the bugler* sounded the
doleful notes of taps the heart at
tendant to war were painfully re
membered by the cHwd of Sherman
county people proserit at the servies*.
This sentiment was heightened by
the words of the speaker of the day,
Francis V. Galloway, of The Dalles,
who in a thoughtful and yet fiery
speech told of the economic and
physical costs of war. Styling him
self as a “militant pacifist” he pic
tured the expenses that war entails
as compared to the peacetime uses
that might be made of the same a-
mount of money. Schools, hospitals,
libraries, roads could all be multi
plied almost'without end with the
money that is expended for wars,
past, present and future, according
