No unne cessary items or extravagant sums appear in the exhibit and the proposed tax levy of 12.3 mills is but slightly larger than the 1928 rate, the increase being due chiefly to the obliga tion represented by principal and interest on bonds. When other incorporated cities in Oregon are heard from, it will be found that Roseburg has, as usual, one of the lowest tax rates of any municipality in Oregon. The rate that was es tablished for 1928 placed Roseburg close to the bottom of the list for the entire state. Our low tax rate, maintained without sacrifice of necessities or without halt in progress along conservative lines, is one of our strongest bids for new residents and outside capital. Minimum expense for taxes always presents an effective argument to homeseckers and also to the owners of outside capital looking for an advan tageous investment location. This inducement, however, is not apt to reach their notice without some effort m the city's part. It should be made one of the cardinal "selling" points in the Chamber of Commerce's follow-up campaign for more residents and more industrial capital. Compari son of the budget items for 1928 and 192'J shows only one increase of appreciable size, this in the items for the street department, which needs several thousands of dollars for asphalt with which to repair street paving. The necessity for such an increase cannot be questioned, for the imimrt ance of keeping our streets in the best possible condition will be recognized as a paramount duty. The next largest flicrease shown is in tiie library fund, which really repre sents no added expense for upkeep. The larger item mere ly means that the city council, which has been licuidatin;t the current bills of the library from the general fund, wil discontinue such practice and, instead, turn over to the li brary board a sum estimated to be sufficient to enable the board itself to meet mi-.h excuses. In time there may be a renewal of the effort to convert the library from a city to a county institution by joint financing. Non-residents of the city many of them who are compelled to pay rental for books obtained at the library have long protested against the discrimination, but there is apparently no remedy for the situation so long usthe county does not share in the ex pense of maintaining the institution. About a year ago the county court was strongly urged to include in the county budget an appropriation to assist in the upkeep of the li brary. The court refused on grounds of economy. Now that the county's finances are in 'much better shape, as tin result of taxes refunded on the revested O. & C. R. K. Ian:' grant, the court may see fit to join the city in maintaining the library by appropriating a comparatively insignificant sum. This would p'.:ue all tion-Rosiburg residents of the county on an etpial fooling with Roseburg residents as to the privilege of borrowing books without the rcquirdment of a fee. o GANG COVKUXMENT Some intercsthiK news has been et niiiiR out of Chicigo lately, if you have happened i.y sco ii and this doesn't re fer to the campaign news, either. Chirnjro ha:: a croup of 1G men on trial on charges of terrorism in the spring elec tion. These men citm.1 under the whins of the Kllers. father and sons, powers in ('hieajfo politics. The accounts of the ' trial are worth reading. For instance: One witiuvs toid 1 of voting lilt times for the machine at the election. Another, j an election booth watcher, told of being kidnapped by men! in an auto who were accompanied by a policeman. Another I described a house used us a "jail" to accommodate kid naped workers. And, in addition, another man waiting to' testify was trailed from the prosecutor's office and sluggc,! I ly unluiown assailants. All of this, worse hick, isn't parli eularly startling. We hae heard it before. Other citit.i have had "repeaters," election day violence, crooked cop mill machine-hired plug mrlies. Hut it is etrcmcly import ant, as an additional symptom of (lie most menaci.ig devel opment that has appeared in American civilization in tie cades.

Tbe Tinymites swam toward It. Ou by one they grabbed a bold. "Ob my, on, my, what aw ful lock, cried Clowny, "wi are surely stuck right tn th great bif oce&n, and I'm getting yery cold. . "Can't someone tbtnk of some good way how we e&a reach dry land today? It surely will aot do for us to stay here soaking wet. I wish we'd see a fishing smack, 'cause that might help to get back. The fishermen might have good luck and catch us la their net' Then Seoaty thouted, "My, you're dumb. I'm sure that no such men will come. We'll simply have to wait right here until we float ashore. If 1 once get my feet on land I'll surely think that vlt's so grand that I will never go up in an old plane any more." For near an hour they fasted 'bout, and then the bunch heard Coppy shout, "Hey, lads, li.e ulane is sinking. Although we feel in real good trim, the shore Is much too far to swim. I guess we'll all be lost before there comes an other dawn." The plane then dove right out of sight, and every little Tlnymite was splashing In the water, shout ing, "Helpr Help!" now and then. And then a monstrous splash near by made Seouty very loudly cry, "Oh. look at what is coming. It's our big whale friend again." The great big whale came right up near and said, "Hey, Tlnles, have no fear. I'll open up my great big mouth and you can crawl In-; side." Upon the whale's teeth they took hold and all did Just as they were told. At last they all were1 TIRE SALES BIG Volume of sales of Western Giant and Wear-Weil tires up to October 1, of this year, faava equaled the total volume of tire sales for the entire year of 1927, according to Mr. G- M. Krell, lo cal manager of the Western Auto Supply company, who recently re ceived this information from the company's headquarters In Los Angeles. "At the local store, we have no ticed an increased demand for both these makes, throughout the year," said Krell. "We have had a record-breaking third quarter and enter the final period with a far more aggressive production schedule than ever before at this particular season. "Managers of the more than 130 Western Auto stores, report that automobile owners thioughout the west have given the new.
