THE SALEM SEWER INJQUITY.

When the city council started in to create the sewer districts
and build sewers at expense the abutng property The Cap
ita Journal called attention the radical change in policy
The main sewers up that time had been built by bond
issue against the entire corporation. 49,
That humble opinion is the only correct way TO Duld
a sewer system for any city.
system is sanitary provision to afford sanitation
and drainage facilities for the whole city.
The property is required to build his connections
to the main system of the city,
The property must build the alley connecting
sewer at his own expense so much per lot
1t is the municipal water SYSTEM the city owns and
builds the MAINS and the property builds his connection
After building the through the older and richer bust
parts of the city the correct p the policy changed
and the the and poorer parts of the city
built at the expense of the property owners abuttng
That makes the suburban property his share OF the
for the older and richer parts Of the city, and pay for his
besides.
This elemental injustice appealed from by the city prop
ery of North and South Saem and have been
taken to the supreme court.
But it doubtful the people will get any justice there
by eccaes of the laws the vital question has probably not
been raised.
The still greater farce of system of government is that
the charter instead of being strictly construed the interest of
the citizen is being construed against the citizen.
The mayor and city attorney and other attorneys hired with
the citizens taxes arrayed against the citizen and what
show does he stand?
On top of this double nquty it is shown by the experts re-
ports on the city books that surplus extracted from the
citizens for these transferred to the street funds
Inc 0Ose kind OF loose construction of the charter being
followed to the extent of putting liens the homes of the poor
er people, that will in the end confscate them
Certainly the financial genuses back of this whole scheme
will have something to explain certainly they will probably
be able to explain it all away
The explanation may be satisfactory to- themselves as Off
Gals but there large number of people who will not be
easily satisfied.

Mexico Facing
 Another Crisis
MApERo GOVERNMENT THREAT.
 FINED BY REBELLION.
THE REVOLT IS SPREADING
Madero Denounced and Gomez Named for Provisional Prssidsnb--Madero's Cabinet Holds Special Session.

Mexico City, Feb. Tt is the gen eral belief here that the Madero gov ernment faces a crisis. The president and members of the cabinet now ad mlt that the rebellion headed by Elm eliano Zapats has grown to such pro- portions as to make it the most for m1dable menace yet faced by the pres. ent government.
 Cabinet Holds Special Session.
 The conduct of the campaign against the Zapatistas, now operating over a wide area, and the uprising at Juarez last night, were discussed in a special cabinet meeting today. The president was not willing to admit that the mu- tiny of troops at Juarez was directly connected with the Zapatistas rebel lion, and it was agreed that Pascural Orozc0 and 4oe men whom he has beer ordered to take from Chihuahua to Ju- arez would be sufficient to restore or der at that point
 Due to Misunderstanding.
 The immediate cause of the mutiny was a misunderstanding of orders, ac- cording to Abrahana Gonzales. minis ter of the interior. The minister said Orozco was instructed to discharge 30( of the ruraIes but to do so very grad uany. Instead of this being done, 7C were mustered out at one time. Minis ter Gonzales believes the post com mander misinterpreted Orozco's or. ders.
 "Not Serious" Says Madero,
 That affair is not particularly seri. ous," said Madero. Tt was a disagree able incident, but the rebellious troops are fighting under no special banner President Madero expressed to an As. sociated Press representative his con- fidence in the loyalty of Orozco ant his ability to deal unaided with tht situation in Juarez. He regarded tht importance of the incident at Juarel as exaggerated.
 Port of Entry from United States.
 To unofficial Mexico the significance of the Juarez revolt lies in the fac that in6urrectionists have gained 2 port of entry from the United States the identical thing for which MaderC fought for so many weeks.
