One wiM be the annual budget and the other a proposal to issue bends for a new city hall. We urxe a "yes" vote on each. The city council and budget committee are to be com mended for the conrervative financial request for the forth coming fiscal year. The budget has been trimmed to the bone, despite opportunity for much deserved increase. The budget proposed for the coming year is about $49,000 higher than last year. Of this increase, the ma jor portion represents cost-of-living adjustments for the city's 61 full-time emplc.es. The budget committee verv wisely did not increase basic salaries. Instead it provided "sal ary adjustments" coveting rising living costs. These ad justments may be reviewed each year and made to con form to existing conditions without basic salaries being affected. Basic salar'es total around $140,000 annually. Salary adjustments provided in the tentative budget, amounting to more than one-half the increase for the year, would add in excess of .25.000 to the payroll. Even with this additional pay, salaries for city employes are below pay ment for similar bbor in private employment. Equipment Netds Low It is interesting to observe that equipment requests are low for the coming year. The city owns much ma chinery. Replacements i.nd additions are essential to efficient operation. It is fortunate that for the coming vear we are below normal replacement requirements. The bud get proposes $10,000 for n additional street sweeper, some thing badly needed; $2,000 for fire hose, and $2,000 for another pump at the sewage disposal plant, where volume of sewage will be increased by addition of the West Rose burg system. The budget also provides an increased allow ance of $1,800 for books for the public library. All these proposed expenditures obviously are justified. We must vote on a budget because of Oregon's goofy six percent tax limitation law. The goofy pait of the law Is that no new tax base can be; created. We still are bound by budgets of prewar years. Our permisvible tax, under the limitation, is only $58,318. Just imagine trying to run the City of Roseburg on that sum. Our police department today needs more than $61,000. Kach yeer we must vote authority for a budget exceeding tr.e limitation. As we can add onlv six percent annually to the old base, regardless of increased assessed valuation, we can never catch up. The legisla ture Is considering legislation to correct this situation. Now City Hall Nttdtd We believe voters will realize that the proposed bud get is conservative. It could not be materially reduced without serious impairment of municipal services. It should have unnimous approval. The proposed bond issue for a new city hall is a more controversial Issue. Personally, we favor the bond issue. Our present city hall is a disgrace. If owned privnU'lv. It would lve condemned without delay. In fact, it has been condemned f:t many jeers as unsafe, yet, because it is public propertv, It remains in use. It is totally inadequate to serve the needs of the citv. Voter a few month ago rejected proposals for bonds In the sum of $175,000 for a new city hall and a proposal for bonds In the arm of $15,000 for furnishings and equip ment.

It wasn't necessary to humiliate General MacArthur. It wasn't nec essary to jeopardize the work he has done in remaking Japan and the Japanese people. Thai was just plain bad handling. In this world, there are big men and there are little men. BIG men handle critical situations in one way. Little men handle them in another. Personally, I think General Ei senhower is a big man. In Europe General Ike faced a situation es sentially similar to the situation posed by MacArthur in the Pacific. The situation was General Mont gomeryBritain's military hero. "Monty," like our own General Mac, is a strange character. Like MacArthur, he has his MYSTIC Riversdale By MRS.

The measure being submitted Tuesday combines both building and equipment cost and asks a total of $.100,000, the difference representing the rise in building costs since the previous voe. Certainly we can expect no lower building costs for good many years, and the days of our present city hull are numbered. We can't save money by waiting. We are losing money daily because of inadequacy. If the bonds ere voted, a committee composed of three council members snd three citizens, not connected with municipal government, will select a site and determine building plans. The bond program has the approval of the chamber of commerce board of directors, following careful study by the directors and the civic affairs committee.
