A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

- In the campaign for the coming election of NUM-
cpal officials there appears to be point which
the organ for the so-caed non-partisan ticket and
the The Oasis" agreed and that is the necessity Of
electinga city council which will conduct the business
of the city on strictly business basis But there
the agreement appears to end
"The Oass" believes that the administration of
city affairs during the past two years nearer
being real business administration than the city
has known in its history, and it believes that its
contention is amply upheld by facts
In various editorials and articles during the past
few weeks, "The Oasis" has shown how the present
administration found itself handicapped by debt
of nearly S90000 all of which existed in the form of
unpaid city warrants ond bank loans, both of which
were drawing excessive rates of interest In addi-
ton to this it found that although several wears
had elapsed since the city sewer and water bonds
issued, absolutely provision had been made toward
meeting them when they became due. For these con-
ditions the former administration were to blame.
The present administration took hold of their
herculean task in true business form and in two
years tne have reduced the city Indebtedness have
placed the city q strictly cash basis that city
warrants are accepted at their face value by any
bank, and have started sinking funds to meet both
the sewer and water bonds.

ORGANIZATION PROTECTS PUBLIC

A. W. Thornton has been elected president of the
Board of Fire Underwriters of the Pacific
This organization is.doing work of great value
to industries and the general public by its constant
campaigning to eliminate fire hazards and educate
people to see the tremendous waste in our annual
preventable fire losses
At the present time a large percentage of prop
erty is undernsred due to The fact that cost OF re-
placing burned structures has doubled and trebled
Insurance rates. have remained stationary while
other costs have mounted and it is largely due to the
work of the Pacific Board that fire losses have been
held down thus making This possible.

TOOMUCH LEGISLATION

Every state has hundreds of pages of laws about
voting so many laws that less and less do people vote
The enactment Of muIttudinous laws is the curse
Of legislatures Too many laws: paralyze business,
industries and citizenship
In one county with its 1900 Inhabitants, 10000
men sent in their enlistment cards in the draft. Of
this number, 1859 pay their poll taxes 5000 register
tote, and 1000 vote. The other $4,000 stand on
the corner and shake their fists at the courthouse
Two thousand is inst one seventy-fifth of 10000.
Creating more Offices increasing taxes, multi
plying laws is forcing car *cuntry towards political
failure. - !, =:

THE NEW SHIPPING BILL

The shipping blk rawn by the Senate Committee
should result when enacted lin firm establishment OF
the American merchant marine in American hands
In the absence Of provision which would enable Amer
lean ship owners to,cohpete with those of other ma
TONS the shipping board would either have to sell
its fleet at such sacrifice as would offset any dis
advantage in operation to operate the ships itself at
aloss to them gradually pass into foreign hands
The wise polcy,is to sell them to Americans under
such safeguards as will enable the business to become
profitably established in private hands and remain
under the American flag If that be done there need
be no doubt of finding purchasers.
With the same encouragement as other nations
give both the building ard operation of ships should
be fixed among the national industries

DER TAG

When panic comes and swats us, bringing for
ty kinds of VICE. and the sheriff comes and trots
1. the court where bankfupts go, then we'll wonder,
oh, we'll wonder, why, in booming, bullying times,
when the trees growing plumber, we refused to
save some dimes. When the panic that's predicted
by the wise men everywhere, comes along, and we're
afflicted with poorhouse bill Of fare, then we'll do
some idle raving, and we'll kick ourselves verst
for we didn't do our saving when the boom was at
it's worst. Now that everything seems sunny, and
our chances the BEST it's the time to put some
money with some mothballs, in a chest put it down
with cedar shavings the insects won't annoy; for
the man who has his savings is the wisest kind OF
boy. Soon this crazy boom may trundle to the tomb
in ghostly robe: then the man who has a bundle is
the man who'll ride the globe.

The production of gold is declining rapidly be-
cause gold mining has become improbable. The
purchasing values Of ounce Of gold is less than half
what it was in 1913 but gold sells for the price set
years ago. $206 an ounce while the cost of producing
it has doubled and trebled
A measure is before Congress to impose tax
of $1,000 an ounce on all gold sold for manufacturing
purposes other than for money coinage this sum to
be paid to the producers of new gold to help them
meet cost of production This would not change the
gold standard unit of value but would encourage gold
output
1t is a sound remedy for the gold situation.

council which in order to win election spread
calumnes and stirred preiudices and violence is

of the city can't be fooled by that kind of tactics
Voters who want to see the laws against boot
Logging and gambling enforced will vote for council
that will keep Jay Lowe in office.

NATURES WAY OF
PRESERVING.
BY
John X. Duke.

Although the works of nature are
more beautiful than anything that has
ever been accomplished by man, ma
ture is not appreciated so much by
those who are always in touch with
her as she is by those who are less
acquainted. Flowers, trees, birds, etc.
which are never considered by peo-
pie living in the country, never es-
cape the eye of the city folk A study
of nature is one of the deepest sub
jects in the world We might live to
be hundred years old and spend our
whole lives in a study of nature, and
never get below the surface. The most
wonderful things in nature are never
seen by the average observer. Pos
sibly you are close observer of ma
ture, but did you ever think about
natures way of preserving species
and individuals of species both in
plants and animals?
How is it possible for a tree to
stand through the cold winter months
with its branches exposed to the cold,
rain snow and ice and its roots
frozen in the ground and then when
spring comes again, leaf out and
blossom forth? How can a grain of
corn or a bean, after laying dormant
for three or four years terminate,
grow and produce of its kind? Isn't
is peculiar that the rose leaves are
always all the same shape! How is it
possible for snake to stay in its
hole all winter, frozen as stiff as so
much iron, without food or drink,
then when spring comes, crawl out as
he was the summer before? Doesn't
il seem peculiar that bee does not
eat so much honey in cold winter
because he is frozen stiff most of the
timer Scientist have found that by re-
moving an egg from a birds nest
every day some species will lay as
many as twenty-five or thirty eggs in
order 10 hatch a certain number.
These are some of natures ways of
preserving her plants and animals.
And they are things which we do not
understood. end therefore make the
study Of nature deeper one.
Life will be more pleasant if we
will learn all we can about nature
and not only be a close observer. but
be friend TO her Help her cultivate
and protect her plants and animals
