Political Debts.

The appointment of Sandy Daniels
| on the industrial board of Governo
Gates is being charged by some o
the state papers as the payment of Z
political debt.
, The Ludlow Tribune saws that noIi
tical debts, like all others. must be
paid. 1t Is question if it is good
policy for political debts to be paid
in public Offices. Candidates for of.
/ fee who contract political debts put
themselves under such obligations
that they are not free to make ap-
pointments for the best public advant
age.
In the first place candidates for of.
flee should not make political debts
yet 1t would be difficult for them to
get support without doing so. The
payment Of debts of this kind in
money is looked upon with strong dis
favor, almost to the point of being
considered illegal. But is it any
worse for o candidate for office to
barter future appointment in ex.
change for political work than it
would be to nay for the same in cash
and thereby cancel the obligation.
There would be an awful howl If it
became known that political debts
were paid in cash yet that is about
the only way that candidates can
cancel them and keep clear from fu-
tnre entanglements. To use the ap-
pointment to Office seems to be the &C
cepted method yet it is vicious in
principle and contrary to good gov
eminent.
The only safe way is for candi-
dates to make no political debts and
then they will have none to pay

FRENCH BlRTH,RATE LOWER
Has Fallen from 1000 TO $50 Per
Week Since War BEGAN.

Paris, July 1.-The decline in the
birth-rate of France has been particu.
larly noticeable since the war began.
The rate in 1914 averaged 1000
births daily; but at the beginning of
1915 the figures dropped TO $50, and
there has been a rapid decline since
then. In the week of June 6-12,
which was the last week recorded,
there were only 1856 births in the en-
tire country.

ing of their military service while

taxes on the heads of families are

CITY COUNCIL WOULD HAVE MORE
PARKS AND A CITY BEAUTIFUL

The city council at their regular
meeting Monday evening made a
substantial payment of $4,000 ON the
new concrete bridge at the lower end
of Gale street, and councilman Bar
ratt introduced the plan of beautify-
ing our city by starting in within the
close approach of this new structure,
of adding to the attractiveness of our
city The idea of laying off certain
three cornered strips tributary to this
bridge and within the angles made
by the approach of the various
streets to this bridge, was first ad-
vanced by councilman Hager. Mr..
Hager's idea is to lay off parks, as it
were, on these strips and plant locust
or cork elm trees thereon. This is
a plan that many larger cities are
adopting where there is land that
could not be used for any other pur-
pose, and the beautifying effect it has
had upon those cities has been prom
inent. The council seemed to be in
favor of this plan, and if it is carried
out, Heppner will be taking another
step forward in the direction of the
city beautiful. The completion of
this bridge marks the first step in
