PEOPLE HAVE REACHED
CONCLUSIONS

According to the comments that
reach The Republican office, the peo-
pie studying the tax question have
made up their minds to two or three
things about the situation that are
significant and will not soon be for
gotten. Here are some of them:
The Republican central committee
would never have investigated the
charges against Assessor Malcolm If
they had believed that half of it
then were true. They considered
that they could not afford to ignore
such reports as this paper was pub
fishing, and they went about the in
vestigation with the idea that the
tax commission would report back
to them that there was some basis
for the statements but that they were
greatly exaggerated and that after
all it was mostly differences of opin-
ion or of judgment, and that the as
SCISSOR had done very we'll after all.
The belief is furthered by the fact
that the chairman In introducing the
subject at the first meeting, used the
expression, II don't see how he (the
assessor) gets things as near right
as he does" Those who commented
upon his words at the time, tried
to excuse 1t on the ground that he
was q little confused or embarrassed
in the presence of the assessor. and
that he was only seeking to be de-
Gently polite about it, but in view
Of later developments 1t is again
referred to as evidence Of prede-
termined disposition to ''soft-pedal"
whatever was wrong.
After declaring that something
ought to be done about it If the
charges proved to be true, and then
going out and doing nothing but
apologize for it after the tax COM
mission. handed them their report
saying in effect that 1t was as bad

STUDENT BODY HAS
ADOPTED CONSTITUTION

The high school student body last
week adopted the constitution with
amendments as drawn up by the
class in civil government. The
amendments will be drawn up and
presented to the student body for
their approval soon.
Tuesday the following student
were nominated for student body
officers: President-Ray Stephens,
Ferret Anderson and Orson Pack
ham. Vice Walter Patrie
and Ted Taylor. Secretary-Gra-
ham Parkinson and William Fisher.
Treasurer-Grace Miltonberger and
Harry Martin.
Next year the student on enrolling
will be charged $3.50. This pays
their subscription to the school
paper and their admission to all
student body activities. The school
paper is q new feature in the high
school, but the students expect to
make 1t the biggest feature in the
school.
Then also by gaining admission
to the football and basketball games
it will cause more students to attend
these events than otherwise and they
will be more interested in the
athletic development in the school.

NOTE OF OPTIMISM

Looking thru the glass darkly is
poor business, even during period
of hard times" We are all prone
to exaggerate our troubles, even to
the extent of making mountains out
of molehills. This being so, we are
greatly cheered when some one
strikes an optimistic note and let's
loose shaft of ridicule in the direc-
ton of those who invariably see the
dark side of things. So we feel in
clined to applaud the following in
Farm Life from the pen of George
l.. Daniels:
II believe it is wrong for the farm
ers to listen to the professional ca
lamity boys, and to lose their cour-
age and their confidence. And so
long as I have voice hope to be
able to build up a little hope and
little courage in the hearts of the
farmers who are suffering in these
untoward times, and l am going to
ask them to help me to resist the
mushy, demoralizing, disintegrating,
and wholly harmful wall of the sick
minded Let's poke a little fun at
them. Let's be hard-headed with
them-even at the risk of being
called hard-hearted.
Lets boost for all the construc-
tive work that is being done for bet
ter marketing and better agriculture
-discounting some of the loose talk
that is being INDUCED in by folks
who ought to know better. The bat
tie for more prosperous farming is
not going to be won by the calamity
boys. They never won any kind of
battle, and never did anything worth
while and constructive since the
world began. You know that, and I
know it. Their morale is bad, in
other words-and maybe we can help
them more by laughing at them a
little than we can by echoing and ap-
plauding their cries of Distress
Exchange.
