THE ASYLUM ADVERTISING.


The advertisement for six months
supplies for the state asylum for the
insane has always been printed In the
Salem daily press until this year,
when it appears once II week in a
Portland daily paper.
There is story connected with
this matter, of little public interest.
For some years the JOURNAL has been
criticising the manner in which the
state treasury has been conducted.
AS a result of this criticism for the
first time in ten years the financial
statement that the treasurer is re.
quired to make each six months,
according to law, has been published
in the newspapers
This, and other criticisms so en-
ragged the treasurer that he did all in
his power to prevent the asylum ad-
yertisement from being published in
this paper that bad criticised him,
He has at last succeeded, and 1T is
now not published at Salem at all,
where most of the supplies are furn-
ished,
The supplies may be Just as well
furnished on the advertisement in the
Portland paper. But the abuse of
power by public Official is what we
call attention to. In place Of reply
ing to our criticisms the treasurer
went about saying we were lying
about him. But he showed his true
feeling when he did all he could tC
deprive this paper of public business
by withdrawing the advertisement
from this city,
What do you think of a man who
is so thin-skinned as to feel 1t neces-
sary to punish newspaper because II
won't keep still about something he
cannot defend? But some day the
truth will come to light and the peo'
pie will learn to deal with officials
who use their power for private gain
and to suppress free discussion.

man who has studied finance and be-
lieves in the gold standard for Eng
land. He is a great man among the
bankers aud college men who study
these questions deeply and to the sur
prise of all he comes out and says the
gold standard, or gold only for money,
would be very bad thing for India,
aud that the royal council Of India
will make a mistake TO adopt that
plln.
He says countries are like people,
some are In debt and some are out of
debt. A country that is IN debt must
ply large sums each year to the coun-
try it is owing to, called the creditor
coIntry. Besides paying this it must
go In debt to get gold for its currency,
And as gold is the dearest money it
can have its debts will be increased
thereby.
The country that is in debt pays It's
debts in products, and as these prod
ucts are measured in the dearer
money Of the creditor country,i takes
great deal more to pay the debts.
Besides, the value of all products at
home, in the debtor country, are kept
low. Can you understand
Sir Robert Griffin is banker and
an advocate of the gold standard for
England, but he argues that it is not
good system for country that is in
debt to adopt the money systemof the
country it is in debt to. Is his argu-
ment sound ? VIII it apply to our
country? Are we debtor or a cred
itor nation? Ought that to deter
mine our financial policy? These are
interesting matters to investigate.

of waterworks, as they have at Port
land, all citizens would get cheaper
water, because more would take water.
The city would extend the system and
compel the uses of water for sani-

under private ownership.

There is no reason why one-fourth
of the taxpayers should pay double
price for water that the other three
fourths shall have cheap fire protec-

rect legislation principle to secure this
reform. They can have municipal

to it. The thing to do is to say so and

INDIA AND GOLD.

India is a great country in Asia,
with hundred of millions Of people
whose government is under the con-
troll OF England. India has always
had silver money,bu for several years
an effort has been made to stop the
use of silver and compel or persuade
people to use gold money.
The question involved is whether
golo should be the only real money,
and paper and silver be merely change
but not considered as real money In
payment of debts. If we had gold
only as money would we be richer

India are asking themselves.

CITY WATER WORKS.

The City of Des Moines, Ia, has
acquired the water works. The city
gets the works on the following basis:
The city pays $S50,0OO for the plant.
The works will be turned over to
city July l, 1900.
The company pays the taxes on the
plant for the years 1897, 1898 and 1899.
The assessment on which taxes are
to be paid is 100000 per annum.
The company assumes liability for
5000 meter deposits.
At the time the possession of the
water works property is delivered to
said city, or its trustees, the amount
Of the mills tax levy not already
used for the same purpose, shall be
applied to the payment and cancella-
tlon of an equal amount of the mort
gage debt of the company then out
standing, aud in the year 1898, and
every year thereafter, the city shall
levy tax of 2 mills to be applied to
the payment Of the purchase price Of
OF the water works property, and the
proceeds Of the said annual tax of 2
mills, and the surplus of net revenue
of the water company shall be devoted
annually to the reduction of the
bonded or mortgaged debt against the
property, and the city is to guarantee
that the proceeds Of such annual 2
mills tax and surplus earnings of the
company shall in no year pay less
than $4,000.
The JOURNAL believes a movement
should be started in the city of Salem
to acquire the water works. The
present system has been much i'm
proved and probably as good as we
can get at the hands of any private
corporation that serves willamette
river water.
But II is a system that is unjust 10
the citizen, does not protect the san
itary interests Of the city, and does
not promote the improvement OF the
city.
Let us illustrate:
To secure low hydrant rate for
fire service, the city gives away val
liable franchise for fifty years. The
consequence is that the Water Co.
must collect a high rate from those
few who take water in order that all
citizens may have cheap fire protec.
tion;
Is this iusty
No. All should have cheap
water and plenty of It. Tie city
should pay It's fair share OF all the
expenses, or else the city should own
