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.
