ment controls The city .:ouncll, there
should be no liberation of the idea OF
reputation. The advocate OF repu.
diatlon says the creditors OF the city
would devise their own ways and
means TO collect what the city owes
them. What means would they
employ? they would sue 10 the
federal courts, and tax leYles would be
ordered and the council that would
not levy them would be clapped into

Good Road Sense.

The Dallas ltemizer compliments q
road supervisor OF Polk county, and
gives his Views on the proper way Il
build roads. IL says:
"He believes II would be economy q
make ILLS where many bridges and
culyerts now exist, He says that
within the last three years he has put
tills where there were ten bridges
containing 10000 feet OF lumber,
Most OF the bridges were below the
level OF the road but the ILLS were
made the full width OF the grade and
up 20 the level OF the road"
That is good sound road building
sense, and IL generally adopted would
save many dollars annually To the
taxpayers. In years past in Lane
county IL has not been an unusual
thing for a road supervisor TO take
more time To haul "A few plank to
make short bridge than would have
been consumed Ia filling the depres-
sion. Fills should be made wherever
possible. The Lane county court so
instructs It's supervisors. Farther,
when the necessary work is beyond
the means in the supervisors hands,
the court is willing % assist, taking
the view that IL is far cheaper 10 ex-
pend money on hlllng with brush aud
dirt rather than for the more expen-
sive lumber Eugene Guard.

industry at La Grande.

!. c Oliver Writes On the Sugar Beet
industry at La Grande.
Perhaps a few notes on the sugar
beet industry, and the hrst aud the
only sugar factory In Oregon, now in
operation at La Gsande, will be OF 'ln-
terest to the people Of Lake county.
The beet harvest is now in full
blast, and from 10 to 80 men Gao be
seen In the beet fields harvesting and
hauling the beets TO the factory.
Owing to the fact that all were new
beginners at raising beets and the
ground used was stubble land. the crop
did no' yield enough 10 quantity to
make IL a success financially TO the
farmers this year, but better results
are expected and .hopep for next year.
We suppose the crop this year will av-
erage about five tons per acre and sells
for 81 per ton. While the yield Is
small the per cent OF sugar Is the
greatest known IN the world; from 22O
to $50 pounds Of refined granulated
sugar per ton. The sugar retails at
1886 per 100 pounds.
The average wages paid for men TO
work ia the field are 81 per day and
board; and IL Is needless TO say that
IL requires lots Of men TO prepare the
ground, plant the seed, weed, hoe.
thin, cultivate aud harvest the beets.
The factory building is the largest
building In the state, and with its
accessory buildings occupies 80 acres
Of land and represents an actual cost
OF 100000. 1t grlnds $50 tons Of
beets, and turns out 35 tons OF granu-
lated sugar every "a hours. To operate
the plant IL requires 100 skilled men;
In addition 1t is estimated that IL
furnishes employment for 1900 men.
Each running season the factory con-
sumes 5000 cords OF wood and 1000
tons OF lime.
To handle the crop OF beets for a
100 days run, would make string OF
wagons 100 miles long counting %, 1913
wagon loads Of tons to the load.
The people gave the company a sub
sidy OF $4,000 TO get a plant estab-
lished. II the bill for a state bounty
OF 81 per ton passes the next meeting
OF the legislature il will increase the
price OF beets as sold by the farmers,
from 81 to IS per ton; but IL Is a ques-
tlon in my mind whether IL is right
for the balance OF the state 10 pay
taxes TO increase the price OF beets,
while the Company that makes the
sugar make big profit on their vast
amount OF money invested and only
run about 90 days in year.

IS THIS REPUTATION (?

Following proposition is published
la Republican party organ without
editorial comment. under the head
1.-THE coming city elections"
In private business where a debtor
hecom hOpelessly ia debt he first
feeds, clothes and houses himself and
pays over If honesty the balance OF
his income TO his creditors. IL the
creditor is dissatisfied he devlses his
own ways end means to enforce col
lection.
Why not apply every day-buslDess
customs to our city affalrsY
| Why not first pay from the city in
come It's current expenses aud then
apply the balance 70 payment, so far
as 10 will 20, on interest? II the
holders OF the city bonds become
dissatisfied they will have the option
70 devise ways and means whereby
they may collect. Why should our
citizens the laborers, merchants and
purYeyors-whO are dependent for
their livelihood on their earnings
await the payment OF the bondholder.
This is signed "Home Protection"
IL would be interesting to know what
kind OF a Republican this Is who ad-
Yocates repudlatlon of the obligations
OF this city, which has :beeu under
constant Republican government for
the past twenty years. Even when
Mr.. D'Arcy was mayor a Republican
council carried everything oyer his
vetoes.
We do not believe the respectable
elements OF the Republican party or
OF any party favor repudlatlng any
part OF the city debt. 10 the hrst
place IL Is not necessary. The gold
standard Is firmly established and can
MT be changed tor four years TO come
at, least and that means cheap capital,
II IL means anything. With money
at three and four percent the city
debt can be funded at lower rate OF
interest and repudlation is not nee
essary.
The plea Is made for "our own clti-
zens-the laborers, mechanics aud pur-
yeyors, who are dependent for their
livelihood on their earnings" Tlat
sounds very we'll, but II any one will
look over the lists OF warrants drawn
for Octoberth will see who"our own
citizens" are who get the money. Po-
licemen get s65 a month, who could
not earn their board at any thing else;
specials at 81 day; oticals at from
$3.50 TO $500 year, who possibly might
take the oiilce for the fees they
make out OF the county--these are the
laborers who are running up the
bonded debt on the city. They are
the Republican push, without whom
this state could not be governed and
President Mckinley could not carry
the war with Spain TOT successful
conclusion.
No one can tell what element OF the
Republican party will Sln at the

STALWART GALL.


A communication has appeared
sigued "Stalwart" that for unmiti-
gated gall bears off the prize Ia the
pending city campaign. 1t Is written
10 the we'll known legal phraseoloEy OF
City Boss Bingham and he impu-
IDENTIFY asks Melanchton w. Hunt and
Hiram SmlCh why they do not pro-
pose some plan OF RELIEVING the city
from It's present condition. What
remedy do you propose That Is the
false warcry Of the city Republican
chairman aud some OF his committee.
It. not denied by the city chair
man that he proposed his remedies 10
the so-called Richardson charter
At the informal meeting OF the city
council 90 consider amendments IL
was stated upon the authority Of re-
liable men that he, Bingham, as
Mayor Richardson's legal advisor,
drew those amendments. What
remedy did he propose in that char
ter? To create 100000 additional
bonded debt, that would have left the
city without revenues for ordinary ex-
penses, but took Off all limit to allow
the creation OF u new floating debt,
was that a remedy?
Hunt and Smith never originated
such a botch charter as that and until
they do they cannot be called down by
the fool-kiler, Boss Bingham should
either publicly deny all connection
with the abortlve Richardson charter,
or he should excuse all other men from
Offering remedies. There is still an
opportunity TO put the finances of the
city In order. But IL will take a better
legal adviser thar the genius who
drafted the amendments 10 the la
mented defu net city constitution that
Mr.. Hunt and a few other level-headed
Republicans delayed In It's passage
until II was too late TO haYe IL signed

THE SIMPLEST CURB FOR INDIGESTION
A, Wei ss ,hs s.f,s, sna cheap.,.

As Well as the Safest and Cheapest.
The new medical discovery, Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, digest the food In
stead OF making the worn out stomach
do all the work, give IL much needed
rest, and a cure Of dyspepsia is the
natural result.
You get nourlshment and rest at
the same time because these Tablets
will thoroughly digest all wholesome
foUd taken into the stomach whether
the stomach work or not. A cure is
certain to result because the digestive
organs are given a chance TO rest and
recover their natural vlgor and tone.
The Tablets are then no longer re
qulred.
To show the manner In which the
remedy acts on different people and
how quickly aud effectually II cures
stomach troubles we present a few
recent cases.
Mr.. j. o. Wondly of Peoria, Ills,
writes: was unable TO eat anything
but the plainest food and even that
often distressed me, but since using
one box Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
l can cat anything and everything l
want.
Mrs. Samuel Kepple OF Girty, Pa,
writes: have been entirely relieved
OF my stomach troubles by your tab
let's, suffered three years with sour
stomach and gas at night. 1 am
thankful for them.
Mrs. A. L Bowen, Barnard, VT,
writes: think Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the best thing for dyspep
sla l ever took. 1 will recommend
them to anyone troubled as bad as 1
was.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will not
disappolnt because they cure dyspep

cure constipation by producing the
proper quantity OF bile. Sold by all

TWO ESSENTIAL PRINCIPLES.

Americans should contend for two
principles 10 all public afiiairs:-
JeffersonIan integrity on the part OF
the Official and American enterprise
on behalf OF the community. These
principles are not inconsistent with
each other. The public Official who
uses his position only for the purpose
or enrlchlng himself and grating the
public should be Stunned by all honest
people as public enemy. Roosevelt's
eleventh commandment, "Thou shalt
not steal nor help anyone TO steal" Is
TOO commonly violated by men who
ars still considered respectable In
society.
The other principle Is not so easily
denied or limited but 10 Is a demand
founded on the principle that gov
ernment shall be for the benefit of
the masses Of the people. There is
not good reason why the city OF
Salem should not be so well governed
thar all the suburbs would come into
the city and find II desirable 10
do 80. There 10 not good reason, ex-
ceDt the extrayagance aud corruption
OF the public officials, why all the
subsurbs should not have light,
water, sidewalks aud cross-walks on
equal terms with the rest OF the city.
But extravaganza and immortality OF
public officials, 10 their shame most
OF them Republicans, have run the
city in debt 50 that we must pay
more for interest than we pay for
actual public Improvements like those
above named. Interest and salaries
for politicians eat up the property and
substance OF the people.
Asa matter OF fact our politics is
Mexlcanlzed-a at least half Is allowed
10 Mexico for stealings-and our city
is not as well governed nor as enter
prlsingly managed as the average
Mexican city OF It's size. There Is not
hall the municipal pride nor half the
employment for labor that there Is In
the cities OF Mexico. This Is a hard
thing 70 say OF an American city but
we challenge any traveller TO deny the
fact.
Think OF this city paying about
fifteen thousand dollars year inter
est-to say nothing about the:interest
paid on county warrants aud the In
interest paid on the school debt. Why
10 Is enough 70 pave all the streets 10
Salem. IL Is enough 20 make city
such as Bellamy dreamed about, and
where does II go? This interest all
goes 70 Wall street, New York. That
Is fixed so that II the city defaults,
suit can be brought to collect In the
United States courts IN other states,
on, that the high sense OF oificial
integrIty OF Thomas Jefferson and the
other fathers OF the republic would
descend upon the public men OF To-
day! Then they would consider IL a
dishonor upon themselves and the
names OF their families 20 receive
publIc money not honestly earned and
earued too Without their eonnivance
Or expedlting the manner 10 which IL
Was obtained.
What beautIfui cl.y might not
his capital Of Oregon be made
men united these principles OF per-
onal Integrity and public enterprise
