GOOD WOIIK Congratulations nre again duo Mayor Glfson and the council for the progress Hint' Is being made In the reduction of the city debt. Starting out with a totnl of unpaid warrant.1 covering nearly a year's operations, tho amount has now been reduced to a point where there nre only five months' warrants outstanding. At tho same time the payment of the sec ond half of the year's taxes is ap proaching, so that It may be expected that by another six months the debt will bo pretty well wiped out and the city will bo on a cash basis. That would bo a fine record at any time, but to brine It about In the present period Is especially noteworthy. While congratulating the council we must also recognize the efficiency with which Recorder Ross Farnhnm has conducted his office. In fact, a very large share of the praise Is duo him for the activity he has shown In collecting assessments and thereby wiping out the debt. By practicing economy the council has kept the debt from piling up; by collecting amounts that are due, Mr. Farnham has reduced' the debt. His activity has been especially worth while so far as the general fund has been concerned. As we pointed out frequently last year, while the cost of special Improve ments is assessed to the property benefited, tb.e,cost of carrying the ex pense untl) bonding arrangements are completed s borne by the gener al fund. By getting these special Improvement costs either paid or bonded, the charge on the general fund is saved. These meri deserve the thanks of the city for the work they are doing, ponl." Of these 10 causes there nro only a few that exist In Ilend nnd the chief of these Is the lack of sewer facilities In n large pnrt of the city. For tho most part, thanks to efficient Inspec tlon nnd clean-up activity, tho other cause are non-existent here. Tho sewer matter, however, Is of the ut most Importance nnd It Is high time that consideration were given to plans for Its correction. SANITATION At a recent forum meeting of the, Klamath Falls Chamber of Commerce the subject of "Public Health" was considered and matters brought out that, as the Klamath Herald put It, "opened a new train of thought rela tive to home matters." According to the leading speaker, "sanitary condi tions in the city were appalling and the situation was due to an Inade quate sewer Bvstem. H It Is not our intention to dwell on the reported sanitary conditions In Klamath Falls. It seems, however, that the experience of our sister town may be taken into account when we consider our own problems of sanitation and the matter Is, there fore, of Interest. Ten causes for the Klamath conditions were stated: "Dwelling houses without sewers and districts where, no sewers exist ed; filthy condition of outhouses;, homes within districts where sewer age was available, but no connection made with it; homes In districts where water remained above surface of ground year around; poor offal disposal; failure of reports on com municable diseases to health officers wrong view of the subject. There can bo no mystery In nn Industry' advertising whoso greatest power comes from playing In tho open. Lie nnd misrepresentation In ad vertising arc splendid route to tho poor ho usti. It I onilly proved ihnt It Is far FAR AWAY more prof itable to tell tho truth every time in nn nilvertlsement. No grout education Is needed to prove tho truth of tho effectiveness of advertising. If ttio man who Is In I doubt nbout It, or who look on ml-' vcrtlsiug u n mystery, will make up) his mind to give 10 hours of his lifoi ONLY 10 HOURS--to it rending study of It value, he will get nil t lit education ho needs. Rend one book by an expert on the! subject nnd your eyes will be oivned V1I)K. HIRE A CARETAKER Statements made at the Commer cial club meeting Inst Wednesday boro put completiily yho criticism made by Tho Bulletin on tho previous day of unsatisfactory conditions nt the tourist ennip ground. Indeed, what we said was mild when compar ed with remarks by one of the Wed nesday speakers. There would seem, then, to be no disagreement on the facts. The only remaining (ideation is what to do to correct the evils com plained of. The council has taken the first steps toward Improving conditions by recommending to tho streets commit tee that the grounds bo regularly sprinkled. At the same time the :onsideratlon given the matter by tho automobile dealers' association shows that they are alive to tho no- cessity for a change. It docs not help, however, to discuss the pur chase of the property devoted to camp ground purposes. It Is true that this is necessary If these grounds are to bo selected as the permanent camping place and permanent im provements made, but the Immediate question Is how to deal with thu present situation. Temporary pro vision may be made that will have no bearing on the matter of permanent improvements or the ownership of the property, and this should be at tended to at once. The temporary thing that suggests Itself Is the appointment of a care taker who will keep the grounds clean. A small daily charge might well be made for the use of the grounds and firewood sold in small quantities, the revenue derived in this manner to go toward payment of the caretaker's wages. Such charges are made In other camp grounds and. we are sure, would be welcomed by tourists If, In exchange, they were provided with cleaner accommoda tions. There , is no virtue or worth while advertisement for the citv In' mklnr th armmmn.iat ion. free if! (From the columns of The Bulletin Again the Oregon Journal com plains agnlnst the rates charged for carrying Its paper through tho malls nnd on the samo pogn expresses It editorial approval of ('resident Hard ing's recent declaration against the growing tendency to apply to the cen tral government for legislation in aid of private enterprise. t'utll tho Journal demonstrates that tho postal charges aro not correct for tho serv Ico rendered It would seem hardly 111 thing to bo nsktug for n change that will nmount to n government subsld In Its behalf. Postmaster General Will H. Hay plans an investigation Into the cost of handling parcel post matter, which is not paying its wuy. At the same time tho Oregon Journal is urging that It be given rates for carrying Us paper through tho malls without ref erence to tho cost. Wonder If the Journal wants the parcel post Tate lowered, too? When a lot of men like the mer chants of Bend put on n picnic at place like Lost lake it Is bound to be a successful nffair. Apparently Dr. Drumtleld agrees with a lot of other people that Cen tral Oregon Is a good place to spend the summer. fifteen Years Ago they are also dirty.
