IHE MAYOR An Ottupfitioa ' Tax Parking anl Improving tnc City Prcm iscsto Keep me cows off. TO THE TAXPAYERS AND BUSI NESS PEOPLE OF LA GRANDE, I desire to address ou one mart on questions that appear to me to.be of vital interest to you. I have heard it said that it is poor policy for an official to write open letters to the people, and that a political graveyard awaits him who vio lates the rule that "That silence is golden", but I believe you are my psrtners in this city business and you hive a right to know all I know. It it a good thing to say "Brethren, let us reason together." i do not wish to be taken as a "pour fnr effect although 1 have been accused of being a "reformer". You will notice that in all my published articles and communications to the Council the words 'reform'', "graft- or any other catch word for political effect does not appear, lemons who believes - in publicity for public affairs. The people are not all fools to be filled with luncheon when they want business. y This kind of an introductory it not made to cast reflections on any person but merely to state my position with reference to you. We have not taken any snap judgement on any of you. We always givt you fair warning before any action t taken. You have put us up against a big thing and expect us to handle it You can't expect a good dance unless you alt chip in to pay the fiddler. Yoii have a good working council, all live energetic (ltien, who intend to carry out your wish, and will not try to saddle anything on you that you don't want . We intend to keep the warrant up to at least their present standard of value, to pay interest on bonds, to sprinkle and keep clean the streets, to provide efficient police and fir protection, to grade all the ttreett you are able to pay for, to put . tht aidtwalkt in good repair, to furnish an ample supply of pure water, to pro-, tect the public health, to light the streets, to beautify and adorn the city, to park the town, to devite a tysttm of ttwerage, to have your books exported and prepare books of accounting ttrictly up to date, to publish the charter and ordinances, to promote enterprises, and to keep you ad vised at all times at to what we are doing. What have we got in funds to do this -with? Last year we received from all a year sources $30181.06 and and about the tame amount the year before and still the warrants on water fund increased $4128.02 end warrants on general fund $2947.56 making an increase of warrants outstanding $8085.68 which with the bonds on city building increased the in debtedness in round numbers to $33000. To keep warrants on general fund up to present standard we have to redeem $14000 with secured interest, $1700 making $15700. Interest charges on bonds Cost of water works Cost of pound fund $4250 00 8000 00 800 00 Total $30750 00 that we will have to pay provided we have no increase of expense ovur last year and if the revenues do not fall oT we wi,l come out about even. But we have taken a contract to do more Uian was ever done before. We propose to give a more efficient service and the salary list has increased. We intend to redeem as many, warrants as we issue, with accrued interest, we have to pay for prinkling the streets, to increase the lighting, to do more s.roat and sidewalk improvements, to increase the water supply and carry out all the proportions heretofore enumerated. Pro bably our job is too big and we will have to slink back instead of advancing as you said you wanted us to do. You will remember in my former messages and recommendations to the council I advocate under the head of sources of revenue an indirect tax through licences on occupations, fines and for feitures, and taxation on franchises, cor porations and other business enterprises. On the question of increase of saloon license, 1 said 1 was not warranted in expressing an opinion until all the evi dence for or against such a proposition was submitted and considered, but I was opposed to any measures that would tend to create a monopoly. If a reasonable increase of saloon license will increase the revenue without putting the weaker ones out of business and thereby creating partial monopoly in favor of the man with th most money, or if the law of equalization will not tend to decrease tht namber of saloons proportionate to the Increase of licenso thereby making no increase of revenue for the city, I will be in favor of a slight Increase. ADVOCATES INCREASE- Of LKEHSE But as a matter of fact the saloons and affiliated trades have already been paying 80 of the money into tht generat fund and through direct taxes poll taxes, dog taxes and water rents these elements of the community have been paying their prorata of the interest on bonds and all the other funds of th city. It does not look very good for the city to depend on fines from crime and on business that is under the lean of the aw for practically all of its revenue to pay general expenses. After applying the money from direct taxation to the payment of interest on bond and war rants and allowing for th money from direct taxation to the payment of inter est on bonds and warrants and allowing for tht money paid by these licensed and fined occupations to the other fund of the city you will find that the balance of th community practically pay nothing into the general fund. . . You get the benefit of street sprinkling, street cleaning and repairs, street lights, police and fire protection and all the other benefits incident to city life and therefore as a matter of equity. I am in favor of the occupation tax. Besides, this money paid . by you into the general fund is paid out again for service and improvements and the money comes back to you through the different avenues of trade, and again your property increases in value proportionate to the improvements, conveniences and adorn ments of the city. If you were asked to pay this tax to help out a "graft" you would be justified in filing a protest. (Trier I hav finally used that word) If you do not want th occupation tax w (halt etpect a strong protest signed by all of you to b read by our recorder at the next meeting of the council. "We need the money" and are going to" get it if we can. Don't tay w didn't play fair with you by not giving you fair warning. W wan't you to help u out on another matter. The mayor and council hav certain power that hav been delegated to us by you, but those powers give us no authority over your private affairs or property. Now in order to make this a beautiful city you hav a bigger job than ha been delegated to us, You will notice in my messagd "Public Park" "civic improvements" "adornment" and embellishment" and a lot of other high sounding talk. This is mostly up to you. Th council ha to tend to the streets and alleys, sewers, water ditches and other "dirty work" and it is for you to beautify adorn and embellish. You must build the homes and grounds, plant the trees, shrubs and flowers, pull down the fences, and it is for us to keep the cows away. Yes, pull down the fences and old dila pidated sunburned shacks and make a park of the whole residence dis trict of the town. We wont need a public park then. We can sit in our own door yards and have home and park combined. , Still we can have a public park for the wayfarer or those who are not so fortun ate as to have a park at home. "Surfaced lumber only costs $1 per thou sand feet more than the rough in the same class, and paint preserves the wood Paint is not a loss or wast so that all the outhouses along che alleys can just as well be planed lumber nicely painted as to be the unsightly shacks they are, You ought to organize a "Civic improvement league" so you can do your part to help the city administration out. We want to make a beautiful city of this and we have a right to ask you to do your part You expect us to do our part in this partner ship or you reserve the right to make a big kick. We will turn the tables on you if you fail in performing your duties. It is rather of the ordinary for the servant to be dictating terms to his mas ter but we are going to dispensa with the relation of servant and master and make it an equal partnership between you and the city administration. You furnish what money you can to help this out and we will try to rustle the rest from saloons and fines, and you park and beautify the town and we will try to keep the cows away. You improvs the outhouses put on some smooths lum ber and paint it and we will have the street commissioner notify you to keep your alley clean. From a momentary standpoint alone there 1 nothing lost by improving and beautifying because it all adds to the value of the property, but that may he a loss because as your property increases in value and you richer, you have to pay. more taxes.

OSTEOPATHY 111 URINARY DIStASfS While diseases of the urinary system often follow other illness and seem to be caused directly by it, it is generally the case that a predisposition to the disease has existed through interruption in the blood or nerve supply to the organs. De prived in this way of their proper pro- tion of vital force, they naturally become weakened and susceptible to any adverse influence, whether it be exposure, alco holic indulgence, bad diet, or the poisons generate J in the system during the course of other diseases. While Osteopathy makes no claim of being able to cure every case of kidney or bladder trouble, it is nevertheless the fact that it very often succeeds even in diffi cult cases which have been considered incurable. Id renal dropsy, incontinence of urine, inflammation of th bladder, renal calculi, and other troubles of the urinary system its success has been marked; in case of kidney congestion and kidney degeneration, as well as in most cases of Bright's disease, it invari ably brings relief and achieves many cures. In all of these diseases th traatment, asid from special palliative work to re lieve immediate pain, invariably consists of the correction of misadjustments, chiefly spinal, which have been interfer ing with the proper distribution of the vital forces to the part involved. The actual curative work is, as always, done by the body' own natural forces when th ' removal of obstructions enables them to act in their normal manner.
