Are you aware, Mr. Taxpayer, tin der the great Oregon system of gov ernment which Is a legislature supple mented by the Initiative and referen dum, or vice versa, that the state treasury la now almost empty; that warrant! will soon be marked, "Not paid for want of funds"; that It Is a long time yet before more money will be raised, that tb state tax has been doubling Itself of late and the 'expen ditures are enormous for a common wealth the size of Oregon? )v Do you realize that this means al most confiscation of property In time. Taxation has been burdensome for some time but now with an Increased state levy It will be almost unbearable. : Then what are the people to io bout It? ,' ' ' '- . ;' Give the matter some study. Find out what some of the new fangled ideas of government are going to cost before they are adopted. Eliminate a lot of useless commissions and "pap suckers" at the state house. Cut down the expenses. ' . That 1 the way every business man does when he finds he Is spending too much money, and why not the state -follow the same example Instead of continuing indebtedness for the peo-, pie to pay In the future. , .",.' Here Is a news dispatch from Salem that may prove of Interest: j That there will necessarily be a heavy tax levy next year is evl- j dent from affairs at present. At ; the first of the month there was 1800.000 rash In the various state ! funds The school fund, amount- Ing to approximately $347,000, and j other fuuris. having been set aside j the payments made have reduced the $800,000 to $ 400.000, all the, funds In the state treasury. .., Therefore, the general fund from which general claims must be paid has been reduced to about 100,000. State Treasurer Kay , stated today that It was evident ; this fund would be exhausted be fore the end of the present month - and' that he would be stamping , warrants "Not paid for want of warrants "Not paid for want of; funds," -when warrants will be gin to draw 6 per cent Interest. Late lu October the second half of the 1911 state taxes will be due from the coun'.J-s, which will brlng,lnto the state treasury $550, 000. This will be enough to cover all warrants issued up to that ;, date. Another deficiency will then begin and run until the next state taxes are due. In April. , ' This condition Is due to the low " levy last year, only $140,000 hav ing been raised by general taxa tion, while, the appropriations made by the legislature were large. This deficiency will have ' to be made up and future needs of the state provided for in the next state levy. . Tlrere Is no way of estimating Just what the deficiency will be. A deficiency after the legislature Is always the eas?, as advance ap- propriatlons cannot be provided for In advance. If the referendum Invoked against the University of Oregon appropriations is knock ed out by suits soon to be filed, $500,000 will be added to the de ficiency. ' THE TELEPHONE STRUGGLE. It Is to be sincerely hoped that the meeting at Enterprise Saturday night has settled for once and all the con tention between the telephone com pany and the subscribers of Wallowa county. Nothing widens the breach of discontent more than a telephone row. We do not presume to say or even itlmate which side Is In the rlgni or which side la in the wrong, or that there Is not both right and wrong on each side. The latter Is a more prefer able Idea. .. . Whether the company do certain j things without Impairing their lnveBt ; ment is a question fpr its members to ', decide. Whether the people want to go to the expense of building another ( telephone system is something for the , people to determine. The only abso lute sure thing In the case Is that Wal j Iowa county can not and will not be without, telephone service. It Is would seem from the report ol the Enterprise meeting that each side made concessions, which is the only correct way to arrive at a given point, .and each side Is to be congreulated for j taking the broad view of the matter. ; i ; -- ' CLEAN IT DEFOT STREET. There is a stern demand from the people of La Grande to clean up lower Depot street. ! Each evening loiterers and bums congregate along that street making it almost Impossible for ladles to pass. Several have expressed a regret at having to go that way on account of the rough element that chooses that street as a hangout. It will be remembered that several business houses are located cn Lower Depot as well as one of the popular family theatres. Not only these, but Depot street Is the only street to reach the railroad station. There is every reason why the strictest disci pline should prevail there. There la every reason why rough , characters should be requested to "move on" and even If It takes an extra policeman to do It, La Grand should clean up that street and do It at once., ViTe."? "The deed was Justified" Is the plea of Roosevelt for his action in the steel merger. Maybe so, but the public la inclined not to agree with such a iMHMtH UH. f MM HI HI t ..... .V V. 1 1 . oiaicmcut lur me uuuiic was DOL IU1IV . : . i 1 1 , i i , . 1 i tuuiweiui wiiij an wo ins ana ou:s ol the financial juggling match.
