With wisdom on the acts of the people We consider this unlikely. It is true that the people have voted taxes to excess in some cases, but it has been because of the times that they have done so.

Burlingame of Gresh am spoke here early in the week on ing in Moro. It is undoubtedly true that mistakes are mad? in a democratic government where the people have the final voice in governmental affairs, but we of the United States have made rather notable pro gress under the system and should retain all of our rights under Zell’s Funeral Home parts of the state to care for deceased relatives. The plan was made possible by Mr- Zell’s reduction in the price charged for long trips with his equipment. For instance the accustomed price for trips to Portland was >35.00. This hss now been lowered to meet the times end those who flpd it necesssry for them to take charge of the funer al of some one in Portland can have all arrangements made by Mr. Zell and have the services conducted by him with less expense thsn is usually the case- It is the intent of this funeral home to always conduct the services for de ceased members of sny fsmily with the csreful attention to detail that the occasion merits snd to cooperate with members of the family or frat ernal orders in any observances they desire.

Dealer llavcnt you noticed it ; that system . . ‘ • Multnomah county now has such a commission Sherman county has none and Sherman county has reduced taxes to a greater extent than Multnomah or any other county in the state since the depression started We do not need the ¿id of any out side agency to tell us when taxes are too high. The only way to make democratic government more effective is to increase the knowledge of the people about governmental affairs and to stimu late their interest in government In no case should the duties of the common citizen be curtailed or given to appointive bodies as long as the said common citizen is capable of handling his own affairs. We contend that he is capable. __________ ■ some of She ills of the country and ■Mans to correct them, J. Arnold Sharp and wife are here for th«* summer from their home in Olympia, Washington.
