TINE FOR ACTION.


Taxes are altogether too high
throughout the state OF Washington.
They are. no higher here than else
where. on the average, but they are
| far too high here. There is little salts
faction and no profit in making COM
parisons. The problem before the citi-
Gems of this community and OF this
county is to agree upon a course that
will result in lower taxes here. Inc
only way that this can be done Is
through organized and coordinated ell
fort. That is the reason for the forma-
ton of local and county taxpayers as
sociations.
A start in the direction of organiza-
ton has been made here in the two
meetings recently held in the Civic
League building one of which named
delegation to attend the county
meeting at Okanogan Wednesday.
| But this is only beginning. Contin-
uous and sustained interest OF all tax
payers must be had to insure the de-
sired results.
1t should be remembered that this
years taxes cannot be lowered. but
next years taxes can be, and that Is
worth working for.
| The first essential in dealing with
this problem is to look the facts in
the face. To begin with, the respon-
sibility for high taxes in county, mu-
nicipality, irrigation district and
school district rests with us as citi-
zens and the only way We are going
to get a reduction Is by agreeing to
deny ourselves some Of the costly
things that we have been demanding
and now find that we cannot afford to
maintain. If we are not willing to
practice this self denial, we might as
we'll quit now all effort to get re-
ductiOn
We certainly ought to know by this
time that we cant shift the RESPONSE
bility or the burden. We can't charge
the war with any but an infinitesimal
portion of the county, town and dis
trict costs. Regardless of what our in
dividual political prejudices or the
VI apout f3ONCi III IhC cO
stract may be, we know that Wall
Street and Big Business have nothing
to do with running our county, our
town, our irrigation district and our
school district affairs. We choose our
own servants in these local divisions
of government and in most instances
every one of us knows personally the
persons so chosen. We can't honestly
charge these servants with RESPONSE
bility for the high taxes. either. They
have been simply carrying out policies
we have sanctioned. or are doing the
things that we demand.
We ought also to know by this time
that new sources of revenue will give
US no relief. In this state we have the
poll tax, the gasoline tax. the automO-
bile license and a score of other taxes
but our property and personal taxes
have been climbing just as rapidly
since these other taxes were institut-
ed as before.
These are some of the facts that we
must admit. The time for deluding
ourselves with theories and new de-
vices is past. We have paid heavily
enough to learn the lesson that every

SCHOOL GETS USEFUL GIFT.

Through the courtesy of j. Grant
Hinkle, secretary of state, the Oroville
High schOl library has been enriched
by the addition of number of official
reports issued by the several depart
ments of the state government. These
pamphlets and books contain mass
of valuable information pertaining to
the state government and it's varied
activities. Among the reports are two
booklets dealing with opportunities in
the state, both handsomely illustrated
and full of authoritative information
concerning the resources, population,
development and progress Of the diff
ferent sections of Washington. These
reports form a reference library all
of themselves.
