Talks on Thrift.

"Economize for the purpose of be-
ing independent is one of the soundest
indications Of manly character. 1t is
what we save rather than what we
earn that insures a competence for the
future. stephen Girard.
Assuming that You are thrifty and
are saving money for the proverbial
rainy day. you undoubtedly know just
how much you have laid aside for that
purpose. But do you know what 1t is
really worth?
As a matter Of fact, If you had been
building up savings bank account
for number Of years and now have,
say $500 in it, are you aware of the
fact that the money is worth a good
deal less than the same amount 10 or
Is years ago?
The increased cost Of living has Gre
ated an increased need for saving to
meet the actual expenses Of everyday
life-tho bills Of the butcher. baker.
and candlestick maker-and because
the buying power Of the dollar has de-
creased to such an extent that one
must save more than formerly in or
der to accomplish as much in the way
of accumulating competence.
It Is true that in the past decade
and a half the cost Of practically ev-
erythlng the average family uses has
gone up at least one-half. OF course,
wages and salaries have likewise in
creased to some extent, but not in pro-
portion to the higher cost Of living.
So II you saved 5000 annually ten
years ago, You ought to save $500 a
year now to be doing as well. In
short, there ought to be an effort on
the part Of every one to readiust his
living expenses, in view Of the new
conditions, so that he saves an amount
not Just nominally the same as that
he used to save in a year when his
dollar would buy more, but also rela-
lively the same.
And IL you can save more than you
did both nominally and relatively so
much the better,

Want Flag Station.

A petition has been received at the
office of the state railroad commits
sion from farmers living on the new
Salem-Geer branch of the Southern
Pacific for the establishment of flag
station between the stations Of Lach-
mund and Geer,
The two stations were named after
the former mayor Of the city of Salem
and the former governor of the state
Of Oregon respectively. There is a
large farming population in the inter-
vening section that is not now com
fortably near a station, and it is to
obtain better accommodation that the
petition has been submitted
The Salem-Geer line was built by
the Southern Pacific entirely for the
benefit of the farmers living in the
fertile section of country east of Salem
and there is no doubt that the petition
Of the ranchers living in that region
will be granted by the railroad COM

OPEN RIVER TO LEWISTON
FROM SEA NOW ASSURED

Lewiston, Idaho, March S-((Spe-
cial)--The hope Of the people Of the
Northwest for a half century will be
realized during the year 1914-an open
river from Lewiston to the sea--and
making Of this city in reality a sea-
port connecting with the deep water
ports of the world. The important as
surance is now given through the sue
cess Of Senator Bourne, of Oregon, Sc
suring an amendment to the rivers and
harbors bill whereby the appropria-
tion for the Cello canal work has
been increased from 100000 to 81 ,200,-
600. The house attached to the bill
the first named sum, and the senate
Increased It to the larger amount. On
Saturday night the house and senate
conferees held session and as a re-
suit the senate amendments held, the
session extending to o'clock Sunday
morning, The senate had also amend
ed the house bill by increasing the
amount for the improvement Of the
Columbia from Cello to the mouth of
the Snake from 100000 to 100000. The
sum the bill carries for improvement
work on the Snake river during the
year is $4,000, so that the total sum
to be available in opening the rivers
to continuous navigation from Lewis
ton to Portland is $1,2S5,O 900
There has already been expended on
the Cello canal over $3,OOO,OOO, the re-
cent policy OF the government being
to make continuing appropriations in
sums adequate to keep the work go
ing along steadily, Friends of the
open river conspicuous among them
being Senator Bourne Of Oregon, Sc
cured data from the United States en-
gineers to the effect that II the sum
Of S1,200,O00 was allowed the canal
could be finished during 1914, and It
was upon this showing that congress
has now taken favorable action. The
canal is eight miles in length con-
meeting Big Eddy, above The Dalles,
with Cello Years ago the govern
ment constructed locks that afford pas
sage through the Cascade rapids. Ce-
lilo falls then remained the only oh
stacle to through navigation, and
Northwestern men have been working
for years to secure that which is now
to be realized.
As the Panama canal Is to be
opened in 1915 the Cello canal can
also he put in service at that time.
Boats Of 400 tons burden can then con-
veniently run from Portland and deep
water direct to Lewiston. Later the
Snake and upper Columbia, under the
plans Of the U. s. engineers, will be
so improved that the great waterway
will accommodate craft of 500 to 600
tons burden.

WHAT 10 THE PEOPLE WANT9

HE CAPITAL JOURNAL yesterday
In discussing the water question,
suggested the gravity system. That
Is undoubtedly the better system II 1t
can be obtained at cost that the city
can afford 10 pay. The Journal Is not
presuming to dictate either the source
Of supply or the kind of plant A
pumping system with proper filters
has been suggested and It may be the
better, or at least the more available
way. Whatever brings pure water and
reduced rates Is what Is wanted. 1t
may be that It is better to let the pres
ent company own the plant but COM
pei II TO live up TO It's franchise and
furnish pure water, at reasonable
rates This can be done under its
franchise, It Is up to the people to
say what they want, and to say so be-
fore any money Is expended or any ar
ungoments made either for municipal
ownership or under any plan. The pco-
pie should be permitted to voice their
sentiments before thousands Of dol
lars arc expended in finding out the
value of the present plant to say
whether they want n municipally-own-
cd plant at all; or tho watcr company
brought to time and made to provide
the city with wnter nt reasonable rates.
II may be that the majority Of the pco-
pic are against municipal ownership
Of its water plant In any form. Then
why assume, as the mayor and council
have done that the Salem people want
their own water plant? why not find
olr by a special election, which would
cost but trillc, whether the people
want to either purchase the present
plant, build a new one or continue as
We are and insist upon the present
company furnishing water a. the low
est rates that can ho done In Justice
tO itself2 Why not do this before
spending good money for engineers
aud all that kind Of eXponse when II is
possible, the people are strongly
against municipal ownership?
This Is the firSt thing TO do--rind

SHOE ON THE OTHER FOOT.

HE CAGllAL JUUHNAl mas re-
peatedly pointed out that person
accepting a public office entered
into a contract with the people to per.
form the duties of that office for the
salary thereof, as 1t was at the time
the office was accepted That the of.
ficer was just as much bound to work
for that salary, as the people were tc
pay it. The Journal also pointed Out
that in case an attempt to reduce the
salary was made that the officer would
probably feel deeply aggrieved, and
righteously indignant That the Jour.
nails position was correct Is evidenced
by the proceedings in Ashland over
the city recordership which are outlin-
ed in the following dispatch clipped
from the news columns of the Ore
gonian:
Ashland, Or, March THE city
council is wrestling with the re-
cordership salary question, having
cut down the compensation Of the
present incumbent of the office to
800 month, instead of $125
which the former official received.
Recorder Gillette, elected last De-
cember, resents this action, con-
tending that his salary cannot be
cut down during his term of office
and demands the full pay, with
the council disposed to ignore his
request. The city charter does not
provide for payment Of officials.
The former salary Of $125 month
was made during the era when an
extra number of municipal i'm
provements were under way.
1t will be noted that when the city
council Of Ashland proposed to reduce
the salary from 1925 to 500, the lat
ter being probably much more than
the work was worth, the city recorder
Richard Gillette, resents this action
contending that his salary cannot be
cut down during his term of office
There Is considerable homely wisdom
in the old proverb that what is sauce
for the goose is also the proper dress
Ing for the gander," If the city coun.
ell cannot reduce a salary, It should
not be authorized tot raise It, and II
n city officer insists that the city has
made a contract with him to pay him
a certain salary, why Is not he also
bound by the terms Of that contract
and a violator Of It, II he demands or
accepts more?
OF course here in Salem which is the
center Of the law-making business of
the state, the city council naturally
absorbs the overflow of the great leg
islaNyc body and is justified in feel
ing that II can make any old laws il
Ipleoscs, especially as there seems to
be no veto axe in the executive de-
partment, and can raise salaries at It's
own sweet viii At present the city
attorney gets $500 year more than he
contracted to do the work Of the city

violated the contract he made with the

doesn't have to be much Of an attorney

Imight let It crowd into the more easily

of office expires, or If this Is impossi-
bic, the city council might open It's

Thousands OF Square HfiIes OF AgTf-
cultural Lands Inundated.

Vtcksburg, Miss, Jan. 25,--A tor
rent 200 feet wide and many feet
deep Is tonight rushing through the
creVasse in Beulah leyee, about 100
miles north of here, on the east bank
or the Mississippi river, and the wa
ter is rapidly inundating the low
lands, destroying the crops of fertile
plantations and forcing hundreds Of
families with their live stock to the
hills.
A crevasse at this place last spring,
when the river stage was considera-
bly, higher, flooded approximately
1,225 square miles. The engineers
engaged in the work estimate that
before the floods recede at least 900
square miles of plantations and
swamps will be inundated.
Efforts Apparently Vain.
Fifteen hundred men, about 400 of
whom are State convicts, are work
ing day and night to 'tie" the end of
the break, but despite their efforts
1T is slowly widening, the rushing
water causing the ends of the levees
to cave and crumble.
No Lives Lost Yet.
There were many alarming rumors
to-udy COuC6THluS lHS COuulClOu OF
the levee at Filters Landing, where
new work was more or less damaged
by recent heavy rains.
Major Woodruff has dispatched
steamer to that point, with Assistant
Engineer Toilinger aboard, for an in
spection. He said to-day that results
at Filters depended entirely upon
how high the river rose. Up to a
late hour tonight no loss of human
lives or live stock had been reported.
The water will spread over the
greater portion Of Bolivar, Sharkey
and Issaquena counties and sections
of Yazoo, Washington and Warren.
Greenville, the most important town
in the path Of the food, Is protected
by high ridges and will not be af-
fected.
One Town Inundated.
The town of Lobdell was inundated
tonight, and the outskirts of Beu-
lah are also flooded, but the town
proper Is situated on high ground
and will not be reached by the wa
ter.
Thousands Of Acres Flooded.
Jackson, Miss, Jan. 25.-Pearl
river reached the 20-foot stage here
to-day and the weather bureau pre-
diets another foot rise. Thousands
Of acres OF lowlands opposite the city
are already under water.
