Third Of Union Holy Week Services
E. S. the Preacher at Broadway Congrega tonal Church-Hs Theme Was Christs Final Estimate of the Future of His kngdom-Conhdent of Its Ulti- Triumph.

Next he was assured that in his death he was bringing spiritual release and eternal life to multitudes. Though meeting a cruel death, failure in the eyes of the world the dying Messiah gave us these gifts so far above those ever promised by any other leader. The Son of God came to give his life for ransom of men. At the last supper with his disciples he took the wine and said: This is my blood of the cove nant, poured out for many for the re- mission of sins. There is no man here who hath left all to follow me, but he shall receive back an hundred fold and in the world to come eternal life"
 Finally Christ had confidence not only that Gods cause would still go forward but that he himself would take 8 still larger and more authorita- tive place, that he himself through his spirit would continue to lead the cause. In his last days he said: The stone which the builder hath rejected hath become the head of the column
 Tn the face of death he abated noth- ing of his claims in Gods behalf, and surrendered nothing of his ideal for the Kingdom. He alone had no anxiety about the issue of his work. he un- derstood it too well and trusted God too surely to suppose that it ccslld fail And his exhortation to his disciples as he went out to Gethsemane was: Be of good cheer; I have overcome the world"

Finishing Go. to Close lndkfinitely 1
 Because of Strike-Many Employees
 Paid Off.

It was announced Wednesday at the plant of the U. s. Finishing Go. in Greeneville that the company would cease operations as soon as possible for an indefinite period. The remain der of the print employees are out and other departments in the plant will close their doors as soon as they get their work caught up. The bleach house will be probably the last depart ment to shut down as the goods in there have to be stored away The reason given by the company for the closing of the plant was that many of the employees do not show an inclina tion to work.
 At starting up time. police off cers led by Sergeants Kane and Mat thews. were stationed at the gate in that might arise. No sign of histil- ities was shown by the striking men and the officers services were not needed, although a crowd congregated about the entrance.
 About II o'clock the coal wheelers, about in number, refused to work unless they were given a cent an hour increase. which would make their pay total about 20 cents an hour. They were told to go back to work and the company would consider their de- mand- This they did and the only trouble experienced with the help was that several left their work during the day and joined the strikers ranks At the noon hour four or five police men were duty at the company's gate and three kept guard at closing down time.
 Early in the morning these of the strikers who went out Tuesday de- manded their pay but were told by the officials that its was impossible to give it to them at that time but that they would be paid off at Il o'clock The. paying off lasted from Il till af- ter o'clock.
 Tuesday evening the men were given addresses in Union hall by socialist leaders and members of the I. W w including a speaker from Lawrence. The orators spoke in Russian, Polish, Greek and the English languages. An other meeting was held in regard to the situation Wednesday evening

MONTHLY FINANCIAL STATE
MENT.

Fifty, or more, Tidings readers
have asked us lately why we did not
print the monthly statements of city
finances. We answer, first, because
no such statement is now issued
from the recorders office, and, sec
ond, there is no provision for having
the same published.
A large number of the cities
throughout the country have adopted
the rule of having monthly state
ments prepared and published show
ing all of the receipts and eXpendi-
lures of the municipalities. From
comments we conclude it is the best
investment a municipality can make.
When it is known that every re-
source and expenditure of the city
will be published fresh each month,
so that every taxpayer may know
just what is being done, the ten
dency is to make the officials more
Sl III VI dllu 10 plON-
ing a saving of more than three
times the cost of publication. Such
financial statement should be
made and published each month by
the city of Ashland. 1t should be
printed in both the Ashland papers.
No doubt such a rate could be ar
ranged between the city and the pa
rers as would make it inexpensive
to publish the statement.
There is demand among the tax
payers for such statement, and
while the newspapers cannot afford
to print the matter without cost to
the city, the Tidings feels that il
would be willing to make such rate
as that it would be a money-making
business to the city to have it print
ed in both papers.

for road purposes was being used
in the interest of favored communi-
ties at the expense of other parts of
the county.
Happily the law is such that now
this discrimination may be obviated
before the bonds are issued. 1t can
be so arranged by each community
that the proportionate share for that
community will be specified to be
spent on particular roads in that
community. If the people of each
community are vigilant and see to it
that the matter is properly brought
to the attention of the county court
at the time the order for the election
is made, no doubt the matter can,
and will, be properly adjusted so
that the issue will carry. At least,
the matter can be brought squarely
to an issue at that time and the atti-
tude of the several communities, for
or against the bond issue, can be
finally determined.
The east end of Jackson county
thinks the Green Springs road, from
the point where it diverges from the
Pacific highway to the klamath
county line, is next in Importance to
the highway itself. 1t will therefore
ask the specific sum of fifty thou
sand dollars be appropriated out of
the four hundred thousand lateral
fund to be expended in betterment
on this highway. When the Green
Springs road is improved as it should
be it will at once become a great
artery of trade between the klamath
country and the Rogue River Valley
and will benefit all the different sec
tions of the valley alike. The Klam-
ath country is a great consumer of
fruit, and with a road capable OF
transporting one and a half to two
ton autotruck loads it will be COM
mercial asset to this valley of ten
times the cost, every year, of i'm
proving the way.
With the Green Springs road prop
erly taken care of in the bond cleo
tion call the east end of the county
will fall in line for the issue.

COMPULSORY PUBLICITY.

Practically all of the charters late
ly adopted, under the commission
form, provide for compulsory publ
cation of all financial affairs. 1t is
now becoming generally understood
that adequate publicity works a
great saving in municipal admins
tration. Officials give more thought
to proposed expenditures when they
know that the public will have full
knowledge of the transaction at once
after it is consummated. 1t is esti-
mated that the saving to the taxpay-
ers through publicity amounts to
twenty times more than the cost of
such publications.
Furthermore. ordinances, which to
municipalities amount to laws-and
law being a rule of conduct-laws
by which the public will be re-
strained and guided-have in the
past been ordained by the council
and recorded in an ordinance book
where not one taxpayer, or citizen
subject to that law, in a thousand
ever has the opportunity to gair
knowledge of what is contained in
the law, and yet is expected to keer
it inviolate, lies buried from view
and knowledge of the people. Every
ordinance of the city should be pub
lished so that the people may be in
formed upon the rules to which theiI
conduct must conform.

This is as it should be. 1t is un-
American to permit the high posts of
honor in the army or navy to be mo-
nopolized by the graduates of any
school, though it be a school con-
trolled by the government. The
civil war proved conclusively that
the rule of seniority and the exclu-
sion from advancement beyond a
certain point of all who were not of
the regular schools made the army
and navy almost useless in the COM
mencement of the great struggle.
The action of the navy department
in opening the door of promotion
wide to the sailors of the navy is a
wise one.
