such limitations ON visitors the work

that the public would suffer far more

ance or expense in his effort to get his
business attended to. These restric.

LIVING BEYOND THE INCOME.

Good everyday common sense is
sometimes handed down from the bench
more effectively even than the law.
Judge Babcock, Of Cleveland, has
Supplied an instance, when in rendering
n decision he said:
"The young married couple that
start life on an income Of $500 and
proceed to live as though it were $4,000,
need not be very farsighted to see a
divorce at the end Of their romance. {"
All law has been said to be but sys-
tematized common sense. But, unfortu.
nately, all common sense is not law.
The simple truth so bluntly stated
by this judge is one of the most i'm.
portant, but least needed, truths in
human life.
The startling assertion was made the
other day by a statistical authority in
Georgia that nine-tenths of the young
men of that state working on salaries
were in debt through higher living than
their salaries warrant.
IL is to be hoped the same proportion
does not obtain in other sections Of
the country. Ii makes brisk business
for the "money sharks" but is fatal
TO all others.
II would seem to be the most easily
.comprehended proposition in the world
that young man or a young couple
cannot successfully spend $40 week
on ~ income. Multiplying the fig
pres will not change the proportion OF
lessen the danger.
Ten dollars income and 80 exPendi-
ture form the road to success. Nine
dollars income and $40 expenditure
form the road TO failure.
The guide-post, plainly marked, at
which choice is made between these
two roads, is the most critical point in
"a young man 's life.
Perhaps all this is platitudc II has

The vital truth and Importance Of it is
demonstrated every day. but the fact
remains that millions give no heed.
The happy homes Of the land where
peace and prosperity have their shrines
are the homes where frugality binds
hearts together in loving, hopeful sym,

CANNOT BU|LDNOW
Impossible to Erect City Hall
at Present.
CITY REACHES LIMIT OF INDEBTEDNESS
Proposition to Secure Another Site Be-
ing Agitated by Some of the
Taxpayers.
CITY REACHES LIMIT OF INDEBTEDNESS

The proposition of erecting a new
city hall in Walla Walla is up in the
air, and from the present outlook it
will probably be some time yet before
man Smith at the council meeting last
night brought up the subject and want
ed to know when the council was going
TO take action regarding the erection
of the new building. The subject was
discussed informally by the members,
1t was developed, however, that as the
city has about reached its limit of in
debtedneSs allowed under the state
law, that the proposition would have
tc be passed up for the present While
ii was the unanimous opinion that
new city hall was Il necessity, yet un-
more could be done until after the as
sessment rolls were completed by the
city assessor If the valuation of the
real and personal property showed q
sufficient increase to warrant the is
suance of bonds to pay for the con-
structon of the hall, the question then
could be submitted to the voters for
ratification or rejection.
1t was suggested last night by some
of the counciImen that as there was
no possibility of erecting the new
building at present, that by the time
the city would be in a position to take
up the question again another site
might be chosen. Many taxpayers re-
siding in the eastern portion of the
city are agitating the proposition to
have the building erected on a site
further up town, claiming that the GEN.
ter of business is gradually going that
way. and in a few years the present

residing in the second and fourth
wards are opposed TO a change in To-
cation.
If the city hall is not erected this
year the present building will have TO

stated that many Of the property own
ers on the street had objected to the
appointment of Hodges and had agreed
among themselves upon another person
for the position. He favored allowing
the property owners to name the man.
Smith was of the same opinion and
urged the council not to appoint

the street committee was competent to
select a person to Superintend the

out delay. The report was adopted
