Cost Of Audit
Stumps City Dads

The consensus of opinion of the
city councilmen was that the books
of the city should be audited An
outside accountant has not gone over
the books for seven years, and while
there is not the least thought of any
thing wrong, it is considered good
business to have the books audited
and the audit kept up. At Thurs
days council meeting the matter was
brought up, Recorder Winner
suggesting it. The council enthusi-
astically took up the idea and voted
to have the books audited. In the
midst of the conversation Accountant
U. NJ. Wilson arrived from Medford.
Mr.. Wilson has been auditing the
Medford accounts 'and the Jackson
county accounts for years and is ac-
knowledgcd an expert. He was
placed on the stand" and rapid fire
questions fired at him by the coun-
cilmen. When the fact was elected
that the cost of auditing the books
would approach approximately 5000
per year, or from $1,000 to $500
for the seven years which the audit
has fallen behind, the council gasped
but came up smiling and voted to
postpone the audit for another year
or until some provision was made for
such an amount of money. In the
discussion which followed it devel-
oped that the city accounts really un-
derwent Q. monthly auditing at the
hands Of the finance committee,
which left little chance for error, and
that in this respect the Ashland sys-
tenn was far ahead of that used in
many other cities. 1t seems that the
finance committee audits the month
ly bills, the treasurer's and recorders
books The audit is deemed a neces-
sity, however, and will probably be

in this part of the state. This reso-
luton asks that the grouse season be
placed the same as the deer season.
For the Table.
Another resolution, which is self
explanatory, was passed as follows:
BE it resolved by the Ashland Fish
and Game Protective Association,
that our members in the Oregon leg
islature be instructed to use every
due effort to enact law permitting
people to catch limited amount of
salmon for home consumption by gaff
or spear in addition to angling, be-
lieving fully that the people along
Rogue river should have right to
catch fish for table use in preference
to exclusive privileges to commercial
fishermen at the mouth Of the river" 7"
California has such law, which
works very successfully. AS it is at
present, the man who lives along the
river must wade up to his neck to

Wilson's Plurality
Goes Over 100000

A considerable number OF bets
were made in Ashland on the popu
lar majority in the recent presiden-
tial election. Most of them depended
upon Wilson getting a 100000 ma
jority. First reports indicated that
Wilson received but few thousand
over 100000. Many of the bets were
paid. Now the final returns are in
and Wilson is found to have 56S,S22
plurality Several bets which were
paid are being refunded. The COM
plete returns are as follows:
Mr.. Wilson received 9,116,296
votes and Mr.. Hughes S,547,474, a
plurality of 56S,S22 for Mr.. Wilson.
In 1912 Wilson, democrat, received
6,297,O99; Taft, republican, 3,S46,-
399; Roosevelt, progressive, Aba
$50.
The vote for Mr. Benson, socialist
candidate for president, was $50, 1000,
with eight missing states estimated,
against 9O1,S7S for Debs, socialist,
in 1912, and for Mr.. Hanly, prohibit
zionist candidate, the vote was 225,-
1O1, against 2O7,92S for Chafin, pro-
hibitionist, in 1912.
The toral popular vote for the four
candidates was 1S,63S,S71 as against
15,O45,922 in 1912. This is an In
crease of 3,593,549, accounted for by
the increased population and the
woman vote in the new suffrage
states.

Monmouth, Oct. 16. - Prof. M. s.
Pittman, who is a member of the food
conservation committee of Polk eoun-
ty, occupied a recent chapel period IN
outlining the Hoover plan for the saw
ing of food. Mr.. Pittman attended the
meeting of the various committees I'M
der the Craftsmanship of w. r. Aver,
head of the work in Oregon. The plan
that has been decided on, he says, is
to secure the cooperation of every
family in the work of conserving food
especially wheat, meat and sugar
and the way to conserve these things
is not to eliminate them from the diet
entirely but to substitute other articles
of food, which contain practically the
same elements for a part of the time.
Also the plan includes making use of
perishable products grown locally and
letting nothing go to waste. Every
body, even the school children, will be
given a chance to do their bit.
The literary societies of the normal
have again been organized. On Friday
Oct. 5, the Yespertines and Delphians

separate meeting places where each
held a meeting and attended to the
business of installing the new officers.
For the Delphians Miss Elizabeth Mat
fhews was elected president; Olga
Wiekberg, vice president; Kate Lans-
berg, secretary; Blanche Morey, treas-
%urer; Laura Canning, sergeant at arms,
and Mildred Haines, reporter. Miss

short but interesting talk in which she
emphasized the value of cooperation.

He said that we Americans are using
25 per cent more sugar and fats than
we need or is good for us and as
these are the things that are most
needed in France we should be willing
to use less, even to sacrifice that we
may help in this great crisis. Insanity
and tuberculosis are prevalent among
the French people because of a lack of
sugar and fats, so our best way to help
win the war is to w and send these
