ATHENA BOND ELECTION

To the voters of the City of Athena:
At the special election held on Sept
ember 9Th at which was voted bonds
of the City of Athena for refunding
outstanding indebtedness, only nine
teen votes were cast. A question of
this Importance ought to receive the
attention of more of the people of
the City.
For this reason the purchaser of
the bonds has deemed it necessasy
to have the question resubmitted at
the general election. Some doubt
might arise as to whether all of the
people had notice of the special elec-
ton, and at meeting of the Council
on Monday night, it was determined
to resubmit this question to the vote
of the people of Athena at the gen.
eral election November 7th.
The question involved is not one
of making additional expenditures or
entering into any new obligations.
The City is in debt on account of a
personal injury Judgment and several
other matters in the amount of $780,
10000.
Unless the bonds are issued, it will
be necessary for the City to levy
heavier taxes in order to pay off this
indebtedness. The issuing of the bonds
is merely like renewing a note that
is already due. believe that this
should be done and the amount paid
off gradually and at time when con-
ditions are more nearly normal.
H. A. BARRETT, Mayor.

should be fired.
It is commonly reported and widely
believed that too small percentage
of the money provided for highways
goes into actual construction OF roads.
There have been instances in which
costly highways have had to be re-
built within a year or two. Road build
ing in Oregon has been vast and
expensive enterprise, in which there
should be no leaks or wastes. l have
faith in the gentlemen serving as
highway commissioners, but hold that
there should be a very thorough in
vestigation of the operations of the
working under them, to the end
that excresenses may be Topped off,
all leaks stopped and dollars worth
of road be built for every dollar OF
public money spent.
AS governor shall demand Of the
Legislature that every appropriation
bill shall be itemized, and shall We
to every appropriation bill that is not
so itemized. In addition to that, l
shall veto every unnecessary useless
or questionable item in every appro-
priation bill passed by the legislature.
I shall exercise my prerogative to
call to the attention of the legislature
and suggest to it the enactment of
such laws as will reduce the expen-
ses of government to the minimum
and equalize the burden of taxation,
so that all property shall bear its
just burden.
! can and will point the way for
relief. I know the majority of the
next legislature, coming from the tax
burdened people, will feel as I feel
that there must be relief. 1t is not
a question of party politics, but vi
tai question of property rights. pros
perity and the welfare and happiness
of the people.
refuse to bulge one inch from
this matter of taxation. 1t is the do
minant issue. For more than 20 years
I have talked and worked for lower
taxes, and this will continue to be the
first theme in my thoughts.
Taxes can and must be equalized
and reduced, and have here pointed
out some of the ways the thing can
be done.
