THE CITY's FINANCES.

1t must be admitted in any discussion
of the typhoid situation that the city is
Handicapped by the lack of funds. That is
to be regretted, but is not necessarily an
umsurmountable difficulty. 1t might not
be even as hard problem to solve as its
twin, scarcity of labor"
Each of these problems is sufficient to
give the council something to think about,
But if the public really wants the water and
sewerage problems solved a way can be
found. 1t is one of the boasts of Americans
that they can do anything they set out
TO do. They can if 'the spirit if willing, F"
and the flesh is not weak.
1t is unfortunate, too, that the problem
was not taken care of before the war times
made such improvements so costly, but that
again is no reason for not trying to solve it
now. Human lives are more precious now
than ever before. Like everything else the
value of man power is increasing. There
fore it should be conserved No more wor-
thy tasks ever faced body of men than the
health problem which the council has on its
hands The adequate and final solution of
that problem is worthy of their best efforts
and should success crown their efforts, then
the unstinted approval of the community
should be their reward.

To be absolutely certain where the ty-
phiod infection finds its medium of trans.
mission in Ontario it would appear that an
investigation is necessary. The only time
to hold such an investigation is while the ty-
phoid is active hereabout. When the ep-
idemic stops there will be but slight chance
of tracing the course and tlien the ease
could hardly be decided beyond doubt.
y To make assurance doubly suse the Ar
gus suggests that the City call in the State
Board of Health for two reasons: First,
because it is an outside body its decision
would not be questioned; Second, because
AN investigation made by the officials of tht
board would undoubtedly be made by exc
perts and would make possible and order by
the state officials which would be needed.
Ofcomse the City could make any order
enforced by the use of sufficient force, but
the state board would not be hampered It's
would be followed. An investiga-
ton by the state board of health, however.
would be of greatest value because of the
position of the board.

1T WILL BREAK OUT.

1t seems to be the case with the pro-
German that he will declare himself, even
tho he must now know that his action will
only bring him trouble. Take the case of
the Reverend Philip Koenig for instance.
Before Mr.. Koenig left Ontario he had
incurred the emnity of many citizens by his
attitude toward the war, and the arrogant
manner in which he upheld all things Ger
man. Of course in so doing Mr.. Koenig
was merely being German. That is the
nature of the German, ie most of them, to
consider all the rest of humanity beneath
them.
Judging by the attitude Rev. Koenig is
said to have taken concerning the sinking of
the Iusitania he deserves more than Il mere
slap in the face. The woman who per-
formed that chastisement, however deserves
public praise for she has attracted the mo-
tice of the public to citizen whose loyalty
is not above question and who should be
known for what he is. There are others
who occupy n position similar to that of
Rev. Koenig and the sooner the public re-
cognizes them the safer will this nation be.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1917-11-15

The patience Of the American people is
provcrbial, but il has limit. Almost every
day one hears of some rabid pro- German
utterance that makes the blood boil Every
day, too, there is talk of action The Argus
is betraying no secrets when it says that
some of the people living in, and some living
near the city would be better off il at once
they adopt the practice of curbing their dis
loyal tongues.
1t is all well to say what YOU think The
people generally admire man who does
that But the people, vast majority of
them at least, insist that You think loyalty
ard not disloyalty.

A COMPARISON.

This fall when there was an |. w. w.
scare abroad there was not the slightest diff
ficulty in getting out a crowd of men ready
and willing to fight for the peace and safe
~ of Ontario. They were ready and will
ling, and they are still ready and willing to
protect the city. Their desire to serve is
laudablc.
.Just,now we have typhoid epidemic
II is not typhoid scare. IL is the real thing
Only indirectly, however, is the property
with the city limits endangered. But the
danger is nevertheless real. How many
people do YOU suppose one could get-to-geth-
er right now 10 consider ways and means of
protecting the lives of our citizens against
typhoid
Why is there such a difference in the
attitude toward such matters! Is il be-
cause in the ease of the |. w. W. the men
could visualize II real Zoe and the spirit oi
adventure AMI desire to protect property
was strongly united; while in the ease of ty
phOid the enemy can not be secn and unless
the disease is near at home il is "the other
fellows business"
Or is it ease of pure ignorance and i'm
difference cOmbincdl That is what some
of the citizens are saying. The Argus can
not agree with them for lliteracy is not pre-
yalent here and anyone who can read knows
what causes typhoid.
TO the Argus it seems clear that it isl
just a question of getting the public con-
science So thOroly awakened to the dangers
of typhoid that the condition will no longer
be tolerated in the city. When that day
arrives the public will see to il that those
Who create such conditions seek other places

WARN AMERICANS
OFF ARMED SHIPS
State Department Will Take
Steps to Meet Anticipated
Change in War Methods.
WILL RESIST THE sUBsEAs

Washington, Jan. 30.-A warning
to Americans not to take passage on
ships armed by the enemies of the
central powers is expected here soon,
Whether the warning will be con-
veyed to the State sdepartmen,
through the American embassy in
Berlin or trough the German embassy
in Washington is not indicated.
For several weeks the German gov.
ernment has been submitting rep
reservations to the State department
in cases wherein it is claimed mer-
chant ships, armed ostensibly for de-
fensive purposes, have attacked Ger
man submarines.
Reports that Great Britain and its
allies were considering placing still
heavier armament upon their mer-
chant ships have been regarded in
German quarters as forecssting fights
to finish between armed merchant
men of the entente allies and subma-
rines of the central powers with the
resumption of naval operations in the
spring. 1t is asserted in the same
quarters that upon no consideration
will British or French merchant ships
submit to visit and search in, accord
ance with the customs of interna-
tional law, and that this adds to the
certainly of battle between the two
classes of enemy craft.

SLOAN RAKES DENIS
IN REVENUE SPEECH
Nebraska Republican Criti-

Running Government.
THEY HAVE NO EXCUSE
(From a Staff Correspondent. /,

Washington, Jan. 30.-(Special Tele.
gram. 1.-The latest democratic reve.
nue. producing bill, thrown into the
house by Chairman Kitehin to raise
about $4OOOO0,0o0 was bumpet
numerically by the republicans dur
ing the Introductory debate on the
measure today.
Progressives and republicans alike
took fall out of the bill, some going
so far as to classify it as the "mon.
strosity of the age"
Congressman Sloan, member ol
the ways and means committee, was
given splendid reception by the
house ON the conclusion of his speech
in denunciation of the bill
Money All Gone.
Mr.. Sloan, among other things
said that on March 3, 1918, there was
in the United States treasury $l26,,
664,0S3.28; at the present date $780,.
745,773.46 less than no money. THE
national treasury is doing business by
"kiting checks"
This condition was brought about
by giving free passage at our ports
to vavstly increased imports, by in,
ordinately increased expenditures ii
the usual lines Of running the govern.
ment, and for novel and extraordinary
enterprises, the value Of which are
doubtful.
To remedy this new bonds to the
extent of $l00,000000 are authorized
with direction to use $4,000, 900 oi
the authorized but unissued Panama
Canal bonds. There is also author.
lied the use of $500, 100000 short-fime
notes bearing 3 per cent interest.
No Excuse Visible.
Reduced revenues at the ports car
no longer be excused by the existence
of war. The imports for the gsca
year of 1916 enormously exceeded
those of any year in our history ant
the prospect for 1917 indicates an in
crease over 1916 Of nearly $400, ,000, 900
This bill takes no account of the
extraordinary conditions which mus
follow the close of the war, said Mr.
Sloan.
"The majority party, faces the con.
dition with the same reckless abandon
that Madame Pompadour expressed
to Louis XIV of France-'after us the
deluge.'"
