GETTING NOWHERE

THERE is only one way to reduce
= taxes. That is to stop buying SO
much that has to be paid for with
tax money. it.e--
In spite of all the clamor for tax
reduction, the Courier-Reporter, ques-
tions whether the people of this state
really want taxes reduced. Very few
people are willing that We shall be-
pin to reduce taxes by cutting down
our school expenditures; not very
many want the state, the county or
the district to lay off building roads
in their respective communities. In
fact the average taxpayer wants ev-
erything he is now getting but wants
somebody else to pay for 1T. Taxes
can never be reduced by looping off
the other fellows appropriation be-
cause the other fellow won't stand
for it. In short, there is not yet in
this state a real honest-to-goodness
tax-reduction sentiment. There are
just as many people clamoring for
tax expenditures as there are for tax
reductions.
For that reason it is doubtful Tiff
much will be accomplished in actual
reduction. Something, however, may
be accomplished in a distribution of
the tax burden. In attempting this
extreme care must be exercised that
the burden is equalized and not mere
~ shifted from one class of wealth
to another. There is no question but
that the creation of new sources of
revenue is somewhat dangerous
procedure for there is ever present
tendency on the part of tax levy
ing and spending bodies to levy all
the traffic will bear and spend at
that is levied.
That the present system of state
taxation is inequitable there is no
question. Tangible property is bear
ing a load that in many instances
is back-breaking while much intang-
IDLE wealth is bearing nothing. If
these intangibles can be brought up
on the tax rolls under the present
system well and good. The fact re-
mains however that they are not
now on the tax rolls and the question
naturally arises will they ever be
brought on under the present sys-
tenn. They have been off the tax res
ervation during more than three de-
cades of statehood.
Agitation for tax revision is at
least two decades old. With the ex-
ception of the repeal of the public
highway levy and the imposition of
the gasoline tax, which by the way is
the most equitable tax ever levied in
the state, the net results have been
to revise the levies upward and the
taxable base downward, either By
confiscation or municipal ownership.

NOT so BAD

BUSINESS nervousness, due in
- part to scandal mongering in
Washington, in part to uncertainty
in the tax outlook, and in part to
the political uneasiness of presiden-

making itself felt throughout the
country. In such circumstances it
seems proper to point out few more
optimistic items of news and evidence

MAYOR Ben Hill, of Walla Walla,
ASAcalls attention to the fact that
Washington has had but two demo-
cratic governors. The first one, he
says, gave us our public school sys-

system. These are the two systems
that eat up most Of our tax money.
Wonder if we can stand another dem-
ocratic governor.

An aged man in an interurban car
near Dunrelth glanced out Of the car
window at a clump of new trees and.
growing reminiscent, said: !
when was a youngster, mother
told me that the. back eighty acres
would be mine some day. ! thought
that if 1t was going to be mine I'd
do something for 1t. I gathered two
bushels of fine walnuts one day and.
taking them to the eighty, planted
them all over the farm-wherever !
thought they would be able to grow
without future molestation.
"Fifty years later, when the farm
was sold, the walnut timber on that
farm brought me as much as the land

WAYS OF TELLING
LOVES OLD STORY,
Different Nations Cling to
Time-Honored Customs.

Loves old story repeats itself In
every cline. and weddings in other
parts Of the world differ from the
American ceremony only in details OF
costumes and local customs. The ten,
der emotions that fill the heart OF
bride when she stands before the altar
are the same, whether the ceremony
be celebrs ted in China or Chicago.
And Easter is popular time for we'd
dings the world around. the same as
June.
In rural parts Of Germany, instead
of the conventional engraved wedding
invitation, professional messenger Is
employed to invite guests to the we'd
ding. AS his tall figure passes through
the streets, there is an air of eager ex-
pectancy among the villagers, for 1t Is
not known to whom the magic words
of invitation may come, says the San
Antonio Express. The messenger an
nounces his mission In loud, sonorous
tones. then proceeds to the next house
on his list.
When a young man in Austria feels
matrimonially inclined, he presents the
girl of his choice a bunch Of flowers
as she comes from church on Sunday
morning. IF she accepts the floral trib-
ute he calls at her home few days
later and the budding romance pro-
ceeds to its customary elimination.
In Saxony the groom, his best man
and the ushers wear, instead of the
conventional black suit, long kimonO-
like garment trimmed with lace and
ruffles. with lunches Of flowers in the
bands of their broad-brimmed hats.
The bride carries linen handkerchief
which is sometimes as large as small
tablecloth. The size Of the kerchief
indicates the wealth Of the brides par
ents.
In Slav weddings the bridegroom
fetches the bride from the home of her
parents. a custom emblematic Of the
practice of his forebears who carried
their mates away forcibly. At AL
bantam weddings 1t is correct for the
bride to weep and show great reluc-
lance in leaving home. The bride
groom must present his betrothed with
a handsome dress for the marriage. no
matter how poor he may be.
OF all oriental marriage ceremonies,
those Of Japan in the month when the
cherry trees are in full blossom are
the most beautiful. After making the
momentous decision to accept each
other "for- better, for worse" the young

Shingles make attractive exterior
walls for home. Whether painted or

when they are exposed to the weather.
shingles are attractive for the reason
that they give the vine clad cottage
