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.

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.
