SUBSCRIPTION BATES-PAYABLE IN ADVANCE. 91 60 1.00 One Year.. Six Months FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1933.’ WE’LL MAKE IT A news story in another column of this paper carries the in formation that a larger amount of taxes have been paid this May than last year and that a slightly larger percentage of taxes have been paid than in 1932. It is true that the act of the legislature in allowing taxes to be paid with warrants has had some effect on tax paying. Persons holding warrants are more likely to pay taxes with them than if they held more liquid assets But anyway, |ust the same and nevertheless more taxes were paid this year than last. That is one undisputable fact that points to a return of something nearer normal conditions than we have experienced for some time- The new laws may have something to do with it, the increase in the price of wheat has probably helped, but the determination to go ahead with business as usual in spite of economic difficulties, poor crops and other ills 1s to a large extent responsible in our estimation. We hear a good deal now days about the spiritual vir tues and the innate strength of character that is to bring us. as a nation, out of the depths of what seemed to be despair. .This de. termination to carry on, pay taxes, maintain schoolsand eventually develop a way of life that will result in economic as well as spirit ual success is proving itself and nothing can stop a people who have resolved to win out despite handicaps. Perhaps we have gotten over the lethargic state of mind en gendered by easy times and like the pioneer souls who made this country have decided to win it from our creditors with as much determination as those pioneers determined to win it from the Indians. And this fight may be as hard or harder than the first, and take as much determination. ----- —o------- A COMMUNITY MISTAKE A great deal of controversy has arisen over the burial of Bryon W Anson, whose remains were interred at Wasco April 19 with ceremonies so simple that they aroused many citizens of the county to protest at the lack of attention given to an old and res pected resident of the county. In such.circumstances we are prone to blame some one and blame has been heaped upon the county officials, the undertaker and others Mt seems that the responsibility for formal burial of a decreased person rests with the citizens in general in cases where there are no immediate relatives or intimate friends or fra ternal orders to take the lead in arranging proper rites over the dead. In fact, leading citizens of the towns interested have plead guilty to lack of leadership in this particular case It is, however, regrettable that one who lived honorably in a community for over forty years should be placed in his final rest ing place without some benefit of clergy or gathering of friends. That the well meaning citizens of the county were willing to make amends for the error was demonstrated when a well attended fun eral was held from a Moro church Wednesday It resulted because no one in either of the towns took it upon himself to say,“Services will be at 3:30, and you Bill and Tom will get the pall bearers etc” We have not been remiss before and will not again. ------- O-------- Somewhere we read that nature has wisely arranged matters so that a man can neither kick himself nor pat himself on the back.
