OREGoN's SPLENDID SHOWING

Oregon has established new record that belongs in
the class with those she made in her registration
enistmens and liberty bond subscriptions With an al
otmen of for the Red Cross she has dug down
into her pockets and subscribed considerably more than
million The estimates last night few thousands
above the million mark but there still many districts
whose returns incomplete and that have not REL
ported With these the grand total may run well toward
$1,10O,OO0. This is indeed remarkable showing for
Oregon has been hurt by the rather than helped
financially 1t is only that the building of wooden
ships gives impetus to business in the Northwest that
she is drawing any benefits whatever from the war ex
eept the increased price of wheat this year. On the other
hand the closing of the Panama canal and the scarcity
her lumber trade and closing down her mills and lumber
is the states greatest industry speaks well for her
loyalty and the great heartedness Of her people, that
despite all the backsets she has had since the war began
she well up to the front in her subscriptions for the
benefit Of the soldiers Of mercy

ONLY ONE SOLUTION, ADOPT AMENDMENT

There are two classes of property owners in Salem
who are deeply interested in having the proposed amend
ments passed One is that which property on paved
streets and the other is the property unn
proved streets If the amendments not passed those
owning property the improved streets and who have
paid for the same will be called upon In addition to pay
ing for their improvements to pay for those OF some
Others Having paid for their own improvements it is
evidently unjust to ask them to pay for those OF someone
else.
The property owners on unimproved streets, if the
amendments not passed. will have to pay for others
having their property improved with no chance OF hav
ing others pay for improvements in front Of their prop
erty This because there improvements already made
which have not been paid for by the owners but which
the city is responsible for If the amendments are not
passed this Indebtedness be collected and the
result will be the city at large will have it to pay After
this is paid by taxation there will be more improve
mens made, and those owning property on unmproved
streets will be unable to have any improvements made
unless they pay the cash in advance The banks have re-
fused put up any money under the Bancroft act
and very properly So for while the bonds are good in
vestnent the banks do not want to- and will not become
parties to saddling unjust debt on the city.
There are some who opposed to the amendments
because they believe they not passed the PROPOSE
ton to have the city bond itself for paying the entire cost
of the paving and returning the money to those who have
paid together with interest the same since the date OF
payment will be passed This would prove deadly blow
to the city for it would bond it to its limit and at the
same time increase taxes to such an extent as to be prac
tcay conscatory 1t would cost those who have pald
more than to let the matter stand as it is because the IN
creased taxes would soon eat up the little money re-
turned and at the same time deprecate the values OF
their properties far more than the cost of the street
paving AT the same time this would compel those living
on unmproved streets to pay for paving other streets
while being denied the privilege of having their own
streets paved There would be no more street improve
ment because there would be money for the pur
pose Long before the bonds could be paid off, the streets
at present improved would have their pavements worn
out and they could never be rpaved for by that time the
people owning property unimproved streets would
have had sufciency of being taxed to improve streets
for Others and would vote soldly against it.
There is only one solution to the question and that
to adopt all three amendments the three necessary
each to the other There is other solution too but
is a drastic one and viii be mentioned later.
