A MODERN MIRACLE
"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
J. O. R. Hooper. Woodford, Tenn "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today."

MESSAGE OF THE MAYG2
Continued from page 4
and forfeitures. A direct tax against
property is always consider? the most
burdensome, while an indirect Uz through
licenses and occupations, fines and for- j
feitures, and tax on franchises, corpora
tions and other business enterprises dis
tributes the burden more generally upon
all the people who patrcnize the persons
and corporations who are required to pay
the tax and it also falls upon those who
have been found violating the law. The
National Government at Washington
derives nearlg all its revenue from an
indirect tax, and it is presumed that this
system is the most satisfactory or it
would not have been so long continued.
This question of direct taxation I recom
mend to the Council for serious consider
ation. La Grande needs all the revenues
that can be made available to carry out,
if only in part, the many improvements
and developments that have heretofore in
this message been enumerated.. The
question of an increase of saloon license
will no doubt be up for consideration by
this Council. . While I am not warranted
at this time in stating an opinion for or
against increase, I will suggest that you
weigh carefully all the evidence for or
against such a proposition. It is your
duty to protect the interests of all the
people and hot to discriminate in favor or
one class or against another, and above
all things to not pass any measures that
will tend to create monopoly. The
occupation tax can be extended to many
avocations other than those that are now
already paying said tax. The Council
has power and authority under the
Charter to license, tax and regulate such
callings, trades and employments as the
public good may require to be licensed,
taxed and regulated and as are not other
wise prohibited by law. I would recom
mend that this power of taxation be
exercised and extended wherever and to
whatever occupations it can be applied to,
without doing an injustice to any of the
people, corporations or employments.
FRANCHISES AND BONUSES
It often becomes the duty of the city
administration to encourage the establish
ment of private enterprises, in ' the
shape of franchises or by the payment of
bonuses, but in the granting of such
privileges and the payment of public
money in the interest of private enter
prises great care and discrimination
should always be maintained and the
public interest should at all times be
thoroughly protected. In the early
growth of a city, franchises are not so
valuable as they afterwards become,
and a graduating toale of benefits
to be derived by the city should be
incorporated In the franchises so the
public interest will be benefitted In pro
portion to the communities growth, The
Council Is given authority to appropriate
and expend any amount of money out of
the general fund which it may deem ex
pedient and beneficial to the City. While
this power ie very broad in its provision,
it should never be abused, and should
never be exercised except where the
benefits tq be derived are beyond doubt.
There is a fundamental justice under
lying this proposition that oan bo ex
plained In this wayi
That if enterprises that will add mater
ially and permanently to the city's growth
and to the valuation of property, the pro
perty ownere being directly benefitted, it
is no more than right that the benefit and
burden should go hand in hand.
CITY PARKS AND STREET LIGHTS
The beautifying and adornment of the
city to make it a desirable place to live,
and the providing of-public parks and
grounds for the recreation and enjoyment
of the people are Just as essential to the
public welfare as any other matter with
which the Council has to deal The city
already owne certain grounds that might
be improved and embellished for the
purpose of a public park and grounds, but
it is a question whether this land now
owned by the city is in ' desirable
location. If it is considered desirable
I would recommend that steps be taken
for its improvement. If other ground can
be acquired more centrally located, near
the present city building now being used
for county offices, it would probably be
more satisfactory to the people to dis
pose of the groundsnow owned by the
city and acquire those that would better
serve the purposes of a public park,
Proper lighting of the streets will not
only add to the comfort and convenience
of the people, but will add materially to
the beauty and .improvement of the city.
It may be that arrangements can be made
with the Electric Company, that in con
sideration of the city agreeing to take and
pay for more lights than are now in use.
that a much lower rate may be secured
and may add very little to the cost, while
increasing Jhe number of lights. A con
tract should be entered into between the
city and the Electric Co., particularly
specifying the number of lights, candle
power, and the price to be paid, and at all
times the etreet committee of the Coun
cil to require of the Electric Co. that they
furnish the quality and power of lights
that may be agreed upon in the contract
HITCH I NQ POSTS AND WATERING
TROUGHS
As the prosperity and growth of our
city depends very largely upon the farm
ing population who are in the habit of
driving to town with their own teams.
I believe that provisions should be made
for watering troughs and places to tie
their horses and place their vehicles so as
not to inconvenience the general traffic of
the city, nor to be an eye-sore to the gen
eral public This matter of watering
troughs and - hitching posts should be
regulated by ordinances, ' and ' certain
places should be set apart for the location
of troughs and the standing of teams, and
that teams standing tied to the hitching
posts for a considerable length of time,
should be unhitched and properly fed.
CATTLE AND DOGS
It is generally conceeded by our people
that a great and beautiful city is to be
built here, and many persons with this
idea in mind have improved their homes
and grounds with lawns and ornamental
trees and neat eide walks, and some have
removed the fences.
In view of these conditions a strict en
forcement of the empounding ordinances
is imperative. Dogs should be disposed
of according to ordinance if found running
at large without having the regulation
collars and tags.
In the summer time most -of the cows
in town are sent daily to pasture or herd,
and often while collecting or distributing
the cows they are allowed to ramble
through the streets and by doing so they
are apt to do damage. The pound master
should see that the cows are properly
assembled in the morning and delivered
home in the evening.

While the council has no rieht to inter
fere with private property, except under
the right of eminent domain, and as the
beauty and sightliness of the city, adds
to its wealth, comfort and convenience.

the council . should u it. influ

CONCLUSION
In conclusion. I will say that while
many of these recommendations and prop
ositions heretofore enumerated may have
been complied with. I have taken the lib
erty to review the whole eltuatlon with
rererenoe to the powers and duties of the
Council and the city officers so that in the
general summing up there might not be
anything omitted that would possibly re
quire attention. Whatever hae been done
n the paet to carry 'out the provisions of
the charter and the ordinances will not
need to be repeated. Many of the propo
sitions herein stated are aximatic: there
fore I have refrained from entering into
a discussion of their respective merits,
presuming, of course, that the bare state
ments were sufficent to establish the
facts. Whatever 1 have suggested or
recommended to the Counoll to be done
or that might be done, I am willing to co
operate with them In doing or carrying
out any of these recommendations, and I
hope a feeling of harmony and good will
will always pervade the proceedings of
the Council and the action of ite commit
tees and its officers, and that in the ad
ministration of the affaire of the city, dur-
thetime that we are to serve, our acts
will be such that our constituents may be
able to eay that we have made good.
Hespeotfully submitted,
- . J. B. Stoddard
Mayor of the city of La Grande.
