WHAT TO Do WITH 1T.

There are various propositions to use
the $4,000 road tax moRey which the
city has just received from the county.
!. Use II to improve Wilson
avenue.
2. Use 1t to put the big bridge in
first class repair.
8. Use It to continue work ON the
city hall.
The city need not use It at all. In
fact, the money is already used end
should be applied to cancel warrants
drawing 8 per cent interest.
1t would go ways to help put war
rants at par and stop speculation.
The city has perfect right to use the
money to repair the bridge. That need
not cost over few hundred dollars at
present. But it is imperative that the
city or county protect that valuable
piece of property that is going to destruc-
tion from sheer neglect.
This sum of $4,000 would be a hand
some help to go ahead with work on
the city ball.
1t is folly to abuse the council. Let
us help the council. They have Dc ne
their best and do not deserve abuse.
No one should think OF abandoning
the city Lall. Times are improving.
Money Is getting easier. The Salem
school board recently got loan to take
up all warrants at reduced rate of in
terest. The city can get money on the
city hall. But taxpayers are almost
universally opposed to Issuing any
more city bonds, or city hall bonds,
There ID only one other way to raise a
fund to build the city hall and that is
by system of licenses on other busi-
ness besides peddlers, saloons and ex-
pressmen. A general system of licenses
would raise from $1,000 to 5000 a
year and in a few years would pay for
the city hail. THE JOURNAL would
cheerfully pay its share. Figures are
shown US that range from 5000 year
to $40 year according to the business
pursued. Unless money to build a city
hall can be got in some other way,why
would such tax for the privilege OF
doing business not be as legitimate
as to tax draymen, saloon
keepers and peddlers? Why should
not newspapers, tobacco stores, drug
stores, banks, insurance agents, hotels,
brokers. real estate agents, etc., etc.,
pay as well as those mentioned? Let
not the capital city be without city
hall. Let it not be said we have aban-
doned such a creditable ENTERPRISE.

He slept last night In hay pile on
the Paxton lot and the owner of the
place hitched up his team this morning
TO drive away and told bis boys to let
the man sleep, little thinking that he
was in his last sleep. He was seen
lying there by q number Of persons

vas identified by number Of persons
who saw him about town Sunday and
and Saturday. He told several that he

TIE TREASURY CRISIS.
Statement from senator voorhees-Pubiic
Credit VIII Not Suffer.

WASHINGTON, ID. C., January iS-
The Senate Finance Committee to-day
held two sessions. that Of the afternoon
lasting an hour At It's conclusion sena-
tor Voorhees, gave out FOR publication the
following statement:
"The embarrassed condition OF the
Treasury and the necessity for prompt
action for its relief are fully realized.
There IS not the slightest ground. how
ever. for apprehension that the public
credit will suffer or be endangered. for
the reason that ample authority already
exists by law for the Secretary OF the
Treasury 20 strengthen his coin reserve
% any extent required ana TO meet every
demand that can be- legi,lmately made
The power OF the Secretary for the Issue
OF bonds needs nothing beyond what IL
given by the act OF January H. lSl5 The
only desirable object 10 be attained by new
legislation at this time on that subject IS
20 mako shorter-time bond with lower
rate OF interest: and yet the Secretary
feels assured that he can negotiate bonds
issued under the act OF 1873, running only
ten years. on practically a per cent.
basis Ii seems. therefore. that it viii BE-
wiser. safer. and better for the financial
and business interests OF the country TO
rely upon an existing law with which 10
meet the present emergency. rather than
TO encounter the delays and uncertainties
always Incident 20 protracted discussion IN
the two houses OF Congress. This view Of
the subject is rendered more imperative
By the fact that the condition OF the
Treasury admits Of but little. II any, de-
lay. and of no uncertainty at all in the
final action 10 be taken.
OBSTRUCTIONS TO LEGISLATION.
1T would be trihirg with q very grave
affair TO pretend that new legislation
concerning the issue Of bonds can be ac-
complished at this time. and in the midst
Of present clements and parties In public
life without elaborate. extensive, ant
practically indefinite debate. IL IA also
obvious to every one that the considcra-
ton and discussion OF the tar!nf now Soins
on in Congress will render any financial
legislation az this time far more dlncuit
and complicated than Il might be under
other and different circumstances.
1T is proper 20 say In this connection
that the Senate Finance Committee for
several weeks past has hal this subject
under almost constant consideration, and
that the bill submitted by Mr. Carlisle
has been examined ana discussed with
the greatest care. Tho interest OF the
COMMITTEES will by no means be abatel
from this time forward. The TACT that
much remains to be done o. fully rccog-
niZed Whatever deficiency IN the rcve-
nues may exist during the current fiscal
year will be promptly provided for by
appropriate and efficient legislation at
the earliest practicable momcnt.'
In giving out the statement Mr.. Noor-
hees said he did not assume to represent
the views Of the entire committee. but
still he knew Of no opposition in the COM
mlttee to the opinions thus expressed.
This WAS evident from the fact that
the statement was read 10 the fun COM
mlttee 10y Mr.. Voorhees, before he made
II public.
