SILOS BUILT CHEAPER.

The price of silo for the dairy
farm is coming down, according TO a
report from the county agent Of King
county who conducted a silo building
demonstration. A wooden hoop silo
was built on the farm of T. s. Provan
near Redmond for S119.25 for mater
iai. The silo was 10 by 30 feet and
made of 2x6 slaves instead of floor
ing as used heretofore An itemized
statement of the cost, includes. out

the farmer and his neighbors, slaves,
$4,000, bolts for hoops, $4,000, 2x4s
and 1X6s, S1025, nails and hardware
$1,000. This is quite a reduction on
the cost since last year.

The State Federation of Taxpay-
ers' Associations organized at Tacoma
last week and went on record in a res
olution that taxes could be cut % per
cent for 1923 without impairing our
governmental functions. The people
who have taken the lead in this move
ment to reduce taxes are doing us all
4 great service and the Echo urges
that everyone lend a hand in this
campaign. Taxes, as We have pointed
out many times before, are becoming
too burdensone. In fact. taxes are
blocking the progress Of people the
world over. Our two principal needs
for taxation are for schools and roads
and these ought not to outgrow our
ability to easily pay for them. Aside
from schools and roads the demand
upon our purses ought TO be 50 low
that no one would miss the small
amount paid But We have allowed
national and state administrations t.
expand and branch out enormously,
imposing payrolls and extravagances
that have no rightful place in any
government and especially not in
republican form Of government, an
we shall never attain that measure Of
relief that all are entitled to until
firm and united demands are made
and imposed. And that, We take il.
is what the Taxpayers Associations
propose to demand. We need have
no radical and bloodcurdling revolu-
ton. but we must demand curtaii-
ment of state and national expenses
which means dropping thousands o
persons from the payrolls and the
earning Of their salaries by those lei.
