" 'Several hundred people heard the splendid ' concert pre ', aented. byour city band last Friday evening 4n 'Triangle JIJark, iand most of those who were there1 have also -attended ; tjheiprovious conceits given at intervals 'during' the summer. ''The tilajority of our citizens appreciate our band i'and realize its' value to the community. That was proved beyond i adoubt .when the band appropriation was dropped i'roiti -the :' city ' budget last year, and popular -subscriptions to rthe ainourit of nearly $1500 wore promptly secured, thus'lpre '"vntingithe disintegration of this musical organization which has been built up by years of effort to the point where it is ;jrariked with the best bands in the Northwest, ; People do not -'iiiiake voluntary contributions in such large volume unless '.fhey.are convinced of the value of the object. . i "'Further 'proof of appreciation by our citizens is their don ''tlnuoilsly' loyal attendance at the concerts, which, after all, "'is "the 'acid test. Some few people while admitting the '"tiene'fits of a municipal band and contributing to its support, ''..riever show enough personal interest to attend the programs provided, which, of course, is nobody's business but their ownpbut the point to remember is that if everyone donated generously to'the band fund and then stayed away from; the .-.concerts, our band might bo a fine musical organization but Mt would bo a .allure as a community enterprise. , , ;' u -Our :band; is a proven success in every way, but the pi'ob--"lem now facing us is that of financing its next year's actlvi ' ties. Contributions of nearly ,$1500 were pledged last winter, but less than $1200 has been collected to date, which really is not unusual when we consider general business conditions of ' the past year. But the fact is that the band cannot contlnuo through the coming winter unless further provision is made for 'its 'expenses, which are inevitable. There will be one, more summer concert in the city, and the band then goes to the Round-Up at Pendleton where it will secure favorable publicity -worth hundreds of dollars to La Grande. , . Practically everyone admits that the only logical means of supporting the band is through an appropriation from the: city treasury, as was always the case until last year. The finances of the city are now in pretty fajr shape much better than a great many other cities today and if economic conditions coniinuo on the up grade this fall as now seemsi likely, the band appropriation may be .placed again in the city budget. i ' If such is not tjie wise, the band will have to be carried another year by some sort of temporary 'financing. We might, resort again to the popular subscription method. It has been, suggested that the necessary funds might be raised by pliic . ing a box at the door in the case of winter 'concerts afid asking that those who are able contribute whatever-they, wish. ' The only thing that seems certain is that the people: do not want to lose the band. But what are we going to do about it? The Observer will be pleased to receive and pub lish, communications from citizens who have constructive . ideas on this problem. LOWER FREIGHT RATES Container cars are helping the railroads check the inroads of the motor truck upon their former monopoly of freipht transportation. The container, -a metal box proportioned to be carried on a flat car, each carrying several of them, is loaded on tho premises of the shipper, removed by truck to the railroad, carried on the car to the railroad point of des tination, transferred to a liick and delivered at the door of the consignee. , It thus enables the railroads to compete with the door-to-door service of the trucker, tho added cost of the transfers from truck to car and vice versa being offset by the cheaper rail movement. Fifteen months ago the Interstate Commerce Commission dealt the container car service a staggering blow by an order making the rates so high the truckers captured most of the less-than-carload business the container cars woiild otherwise have obtained for the railroads. That wrong has just been righted by an order suspending the high rates and ruling that the users of container cars should have the same free dom of opportunity to meet truck competition ns is enjoyed by other carriers. Apparently the Interstate Commerce Commission is awakening to its first duly, which is to guarantee tho Rhipper .and the consumer the best possible service at the lowest possible cost.

That element Is the Jews, 'Anti-Semitism ts a cardinal doc trine In the creed of Adolf Hitler. "Judo verrecke" ("Perish tho Jews") is as much of n Blognu for wearers of the brown shirt ns is "Down with capitalism I" for communists. On every nazl book stand one finds a pamphlet of 100 pnes titled. "Adolf Killer's Speeches." It begins with his platform utterances In 12. a, year beforo he attempted his "beer cellar putsch" ftt Munich. One of his flnit public addresses wos delivered while n world eco nomic 'conference wns meeting at Genoa in April, 102. Speaking tit Munich, Hitler warned that "democ racy Is 'In principle not German, but Jewish." He also claimed that "the Jews incited the brond masses of the German people Into the 'November insanity' " (meaning the overthrow of the Hohcneollcrus In November. HUB,.

More recently Hitler has been more moderate In his language. In pri vate tnlks he even stntes that "de cent Jews" hnve nothing to fenr. In prnctlce, however, the anti-Semitism continues with nnri pressure exerted in all directions. Even the Von Papon cabinet, close though It Is to the narts. was severely criticised when It appointed a man of Jewish antece dents ns chief of the government press department, and n hnlf-Jew ns undersecretary of finance. The most recent example was fur nished on June U4, when the Hit lerites Introduced a bill In the Prus sian diet demanding the possesions of all east European Jews who have entered Germany since August 1, 19-4. be confiscated on the ground I hat Jews belong to "a race which does not work productively, but merely grasps."
