As a result of the meeting of the city budget committee Monday night, it is more than ever apparent that if the mun icipality is to be restored to a satisfactory financial basis, it will be through the voluntary action of the taxpayers. Work ing on a prospective revenue basis lower than the grand to tal that was realized during the present year, the budget committee, in its outline, was forced to slash existing allow ances for services than cannot conveniently be spared, and the city council, under legal limitations, cannot avoid adop tion of the plan. The only alternative for more revenue per mitted under the law is that which the city taxpayers may Vote upon their own initiative. ; It is a matter of general satisfaction that the committee managed to increase the allowance for the fire department, but it is unpleasant to contemplate that just at a time when . the city is enjoying a substantial growth it was found neces sary through lack of funds to reduce the personnel of the po lice force and street department. Nor is this the worst as fleet of the situation. Four years hence there will mature $ 35,000 worth of street improvement bonds, and one year la ter another batch amounting to $10,000, and there isn't a dollar laid by to liquidate them. They will have run 20 years, the first batch drawing 5 per cent interest, the second 4J per cent. It is obvious that the present revenues of the city from general taxation will not permit of a sinking fund to toeet these issues when they mature. If such a fund is pro vided, it must come on special taxation and a tax of that sort .must be voted voluntarily by the citizens. The question is, do the taxpayers wish to start a sinking und through a special levy.or do they prefer to re-issue the bonds when they fall due and pay interest on $75,000 for an other period of perhaps 20 years? A $12,000 bond issue on tho city library falls due in 1934 and a $15,000 issue that j.aid for the new fire fighting apparatus matures the same year. In 1932 there will mature a $25,000 issue that dates back to 1892. It had to be reissued upon the date of original maturity in 1912 because there was no money to meet it. puring the administration of Mayor N. Rice a sinking fund was started to liquidate these bonds and when final settle ment occurs seven years hence the city will have paid on that one obligation alone a grand total in principal and interest Jrf $75,000. ; -i If it takes 40 years to pay off a debt of $25,000, how long will it take the city to liquidate $102,000 more? This is a problem for the taxpayers to consider seriously. The longer a plan of settlement is delayed, the more the city will pay eventually. It doesn't seem like good business to reissue fctreet improvement bonds, because a good deal of the im provement (pavement) will probably have to be renewed at the end of twenty years and that, too, will require money. Probably by the time the bonds for the fire fighting equip ment fall due the city will need something else along that line. In the meantime other things will crop up for which inoncy wHl be needed. It is inevitable that tho city will not only return to the original number of employes in the police -ftiid street departments, but will ultimately increase the per sonnel to meet the city's growing needs. Every cent of reve nue raised from general taxation promises to be absorbed for .current needs and bond interest for several years to come. .Jfpw what's to be done with the principal on the bonds when they fall duo? It's up to the taxpayers to supply the answer. o - Tho men, after having put away their winter clothes very carefully last year, are now yelling to their wives to ,lnow where they are.

"j.NT" StatS Press Commeot Not a Government Job "What the youth of tha nation needs Is not more public control through governmental action, but more borne control through paVen tal action." ' That is the statement of Presi dent Coolldge. It Is his view, and a very sound view, about the prob lem of child delinquency. It Is not the purpose of govern ment to raise parents' children fur them. That is the Job of mothers and fathers. Governments attempt only to protect the public against children who go wrong; (hey do not go far into the problem of keeping them from going wrong. When children violate the lav local government takes up the case. The violators are arrested and sent to a Juvenile court. There they are dealt with as best a government can deal with them. But If the borne la correct (hev are not likely to be arrested. They are not likely to be . before a Ja ve nue court lr tne parents have mat their obligation, government' acta wnen parents have failed, and gov ernmental action seldom supplies what should have been supplied by parents at borne. When parents meet fully their obligation to their children, there will be no need for appeals to gov ernment to become the mother and father of our youth, a Job that no government can successfully un dertake. Raising children Is pri marily the work of parent -to be performed in the home, not the work of governmenta to be handled In the courts. Portland Journal. English Examinations ' It was reported that this year, 3 per cent of the applicants for admission to the University ( of Oregon failed to pass the enti-Bnce examination in English. The publi cation of this report called' forth some criticism of the methods at the uinverslty and It was Intimated by high school teachera that their students had fared better In other institutions. Now we are Informed that at the Oregon Agricultural college this year tbe same test resulted In 45 per cent or failures. Last year the plan of givinr a uniform i.ngllsh examination for admission to all colleges In Orcn I was adopted. It was thought tint' the results .would serve to classify the efficiency of the teaching meth ods in use by the various high schools. . ,. The test Is a simple one. coverine only the: elements of punctuation, grammar, spelling and correct use of some ordinary words. It makes no effort to discover the literary appreciation of tho applicant. Last year, atudenta from 64 Ore gon high schools averaged 24 46 errora out of a possible 100. ' ThiB years returns from all colleges have not yet been tabulated. At' the Oregon Agricultural colleste. stn- dents were classified as failures who made 40 errors or more, out tf a possible 160. It was on this classiflratinn that 45 per cent were pronounced failures. There students were assigned either to a "no credit" class In grammar or to one, of two classes In.fresliman English, 6n probation. The material composing this test Is so simple a id elementary that It should be passed with ease by any student of the eighth grade in the grammar school. How long will the people of Ore gon be content to pay the high school and oollege rates of tuition, for. courses which should be com pleted In the grammar achools? Portland Telegram.

Portland Qregonlan. A Home Like Your Body The construction of a house is in many, respects very similar to tbe human body. Consider the founda tion as the feet, frame work as bones, windows as eyes, furnace as the. heart, plumbing aa the arteries, veins and Intestines, while the electrical wiring compares to the nerve Bystem. - If the essential organs of the hu man body could be bought, no one would ever think of buying cheap ones to save money. They would buy only the best, regardless of price. Many misguided people, when building, buy ' inferior material, second grade fixtures and employ inefficient labor for the sake of a small temporary saving, ' to later discover that It was the most ex pensive. An Improperly built home, with Inferior materials used n Its contraction, is like a sick body. It's sure to cause trouble and end less expense Inter on. This Is especially true of heating and plumbing. The heart as the beating plant, with arteries, veins and Intestines as plumbing, fill an Important function in both the hu- - . . . . . man body and in the building of home. They are more than a net work of hidden plpea. valves and fittings that provide beat, distri bute water and carry away sewage. It Is a service of universal prac tical benefit; giving comfort and assuring health. They should be of the best material and workman ship. If they are to protect health and give lasting service with small upkeep. Property owners and home build ers will profit by regarding the need for good plumbing and buy only the beat obtainable. There is also need for care in the selection of the plumber. He should be select- M carefully as the family phy- slcian, as It Is the doctor who dls- "-vers the need for and the plum b who provides better sanita tion. Portland Journal of Com merce.
