ALL ARE INTERESTED.

THE most essential thing in the
fight for tax reduction is to organize
and unite the tax payers, says a state
ment issued by the State Federation Of
Taxpayers Associations.
1.-The high tax rate is the result of
Indifference and carelessness on the
part of the, taxpayer. Whenever tax
payers generally inform themselves
closely on legislative matters; when
they know as we'll as public officials
how public funds are spent; and when
they demand retrenchment, economy
and wisdom in handling such funds
then the tax burden is going to be
materially lessened.
'"The principle function Of the
State Federation Of Taxpayers AssO-
Citations is to organize taxpayers in
each section of the state and then to
coordinate the work of these local
tax organizations. Seventy-five pei
cent-of all money raised by taxation
is expended for local purposes in con-
Quoting county, municipal and district
government, hence the greatest cut in
taxes must be made in local expendi-
lures. n
IF the taxpayers remain unorgani.
zed they will continue to pay higher
taxes each year, VITA the ultimate re.
suit of confiscation by taxation.
Taxes can be reduced and will be
reduced whenever the taxpayers de.
mand it, If the demand is backed by
sufficient organized voting strength
and based upon knowledge of public
needs. The taxpayers must first exer.
else good business Judgment and ther
require public officials to- conduct
public affairs along sound business
lines"

SUBSCRIBER CAN IMPROVE
OWN TELEPHONE SERVICE

Naturally everyone who uses the
telephone desires a continuous and
efficient telephone service. There are
many little ways in which the tie
phone subscribers can assist the tele-
phone people in their efforts to pro-
vide such service.
For instance simple knot in your
telephone cord is apt to cause break
in your service. The knot weakens the
delicate wires contained in the cord
If the cord rests against a wet UNI

PORTLAND LIVE STOCK SHOW.

The Gazette has just received a copy
Of the Preliminary Classification (the
premium list) of the Pacific Internal
ional Live Stock Exposition, to be held
in Portland, November 4 to IL, inclu-
sive, this year. 1t is impossible to
speak exhaustively of all tne good
things which the book contains, but
est:
The closing dates for entries are
noon, October 10, for all breeding
classes, and noon, October 20, for fat
classes.
The same beef classes are offered
liberal premiums, amounting to $751;
$50 for Shorthorns, Herefords, Aber-
deen-Angus, Milking Shorthorns and
Red Polled cattle. $500
In the dairy cattle division new
class has been added to the Holsteins,
Jerseys, Guernseys and Ayrshires, for
a goodly amount of money is offer
ed this year for Brown Swiss cattle,
said to be the oldest breed Of purebred
cattle in the world.
The sheep and hog divisions are as
large and strong as ever. Heavy horses
are represented by the four great draft
breeds, with more money for each
than last year. The fat cattle. sheep
and hogs are well supplied with cash
premiums.
There has never been such a show
In hot <NPf nd riv~l<, nj, nh,
classes, $3,525 being offered for
awards. The breed associations have
been generous with the boys and girls
this year. E. A. Stuart, president of the
Pacific International Live Stock Ex
position, has offered trips to Carnation
Stock Farm, Seattle, Wash, for the
20 boys and girls making the finest
display of dairy cattle. The cost Of
these trips. will approximate $500.
Probably more people are interested
in the night horse show than in any
other event. The premium list says
that $15, 900 in cash premiums is offer
ed Later information is that the cash
premiums will run over $4,000, with
seven $1,000 stakes, greater number
of stakes of this size than has ever
been offered by any horse show in the
United States so far as is known, and
the only $1,000 stake for driving heavy
horses six-in-nand ever offered in any
horse show in the world, it is believ-
ed. Last year there were over 400 show
horses at the exposition, including the
| drafters, and this year will probably
have over 500.
The Western Winter Poultry Show,
held at the Pacific International last
Year for the first time, will be on again
with a larger and more beautiful exhi-
bition of poultry and rabbits than ever,
The Manufacturers and Land Pro-
ducts show will occupy a proment
place in the exhibit building, and is
expected to be particularly fine in
exhibits of fruits, grasses, grains and
root crops.
The Dairy Prducts show promises
to be not only very attractive, but of
untold value to both the dairy manu-
featuring industry and the consuming
public.
Those interested in this great expo
sition, representing the entire Pacific
slope. may see copy of the premium
list. which is on file in this office for
the benefit of our readers.

1t is hard for A ! TAYLOR 70 d,voros

1t Is hard for A. ]. Taylor to divorce
himself from Oroville and the upper
Okanogan. A few weeks ago ne had
his paper ordered sent to Everett
which was the second time the Ga
zette reached him via Everett, and
Saturday he stepped into the office and
left instructions for the paper to be
placed in the local post office, as he
was back for few months at least.
Now that the primary election is
over the registration books are again
open and all those who failed to reg
lister before the primaries are urged
to perform that duty at once. The
sooner it is done the sooner the job
is over and off your mind. Everybody
will want to vote at the general cleo
ton, and everybody should vote, for
there are not only candidates to elect
but initiative measures and amend
ments to the constitution to adopt or
reject, and that is Of Importance to
all who take any interest in govern
ment.
Federal officials have vacation
coming for a short period every year
and this Is a season when AL. Kitching
who, operates Rural Route No. has
his annual lay off, Howard Chase sub
bling for him. This vacation does not
mean that Mr.. Kitching will go forta
in the wilderness fishing or hunting,
because he has the contract for car
rying the mails daily between the post
office and the train, and the vacation
does not take that contract into con-
sideration. He is still nailed to his
post, although not taking the daily
long runs over the rural route.

ing in the list with large number OF
thoroughbreds, several Of which were
from Wenatchee, where the first prize
was carried off, but many present
were of the opinion that Mr.. Guteneys
animal was entitled to first prize. This
is by no means a protest against the
award as rendered by the judges, but
merely quoting public opinion as indl7
cative of the nigh standard OF the an
.imal Mr.. Guteney had on exhibition.

TARDY AT COMING ACROSS.

H. w. Bragg Is not booster for in
surance companies and commences to
feel that insurance is very poor pro-
lection to property. His case Is one
that hardly strengthens ones conf
dence in fire protection through the
medium of a policy. His kick comes
from the fact that his implement, feed
and grain warehouse was destroyed
with all its contents two months ago,
and although an adjuster was sent in
after the fire up to date the companies
carrying his policies have shown no
disposition to meet the loss. There
may be reason for this procrastina-
ton but it should be valid excuse to
justify any such delay in adjusting
losses.
