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.

the gas mask hanging on a nail as it used to hang about Ms neck.

And there they han«. The strap of the helmet is stiff now
from winter’s rains and the dryins winds of summer and not soft
and pliable as when it was tucked under the chin of a sweating
soldier The inside padding that absorbed a part of the shock of
singing bullets and whistling sharpnel is torn and ragged enough
to »ttract the mothering instinct of some bird.
The gas mask has been crammed into its receptacle in a man

parts brittle with years. It may be that the flakes of mud cling

was floundering around in some gas ridden shell hole.

and its souvenirs in the brilliant sunshine and cleaning winds of
the wheat coifirtry.
