P A V IN G FO R D E A D HORSES.
Moat of us s r . having toms dlf
ficully In paying for anything thasa
days.
A dead horaa is tha last thing ws
care to pay for.
Yet that U what we are doing so
far as the city of Cottr.ga Grove Is
concerned.
A perusal of figures published In
conjunction w ith the budget for
1933 shows this to ba the case.
Sixty-one per cent of the propor
tion to be raised by taxation is for
retirement of warrants, payment
of bonds and payment of bond In
terest
Seventy-two per cent of the wa
ter fund budget is for the same pur
pose.
As to several of the bond issues
we can have no com plaint
The original $100.000 issue of wa
ter bonds, now reduced to $22.000,
gave the city a water system. The
city had to have such a system, and
a bond issue wa the only method
open.
The water reservoir bonds, trunk
sewer bonds, water system bonds,
armory bonds and city hall bond»
can be defended.
But there is an issue of $30.000 in
general fund bonds, issued in 1930
to take the place of an issue of the
same sixe Issued in 1910, w ith no
provision made for their payment.
W ith regard to this issue, it was
not justifiable in the first place.
Tax levies in preceding years
should have been sufficient to have
cared for city expenditures. When
the bonds were issued, provision
for their payment at so much a
year should have been made. For
twenty-two years we have paid in
terest on bonds that should have
never been issued. Paying for a
dead horse.
Then there is an issue of $15.000
in water bonds. No doubt the first
issuance of these bonds was neces
sary. probably for the purchase of
land and construction of one of the
earlier water systems. But no provi
sion w-as made for their payment,
and the were again reissued without
provision for payment, being one
of two bond issues of the city now
outstanding for which provision for
payment has not been made. By
the time they are paid we shall
have pail 240 per cent interest on
them, probably more. Paying for a
dead horse.
Then there is an issue of $35,000
in w ater refunding bonds. These
were issued to take up a $20,000 wa
ter bond issue of 20 years before
for which no provisions for pay
ment had been made. The original
issue probably was for purchase of
land and construction of the west
side system, which was practically-
abandoned five yeasr later. The
city w ill have paid probably 240 per
cent on these when they are finally
retired. The remaining $15,000 of
this issue was for retirement of
warrants, made necessary because
the w ater system had not been put
on a basis whereby It paid its own
way. Now it has to pay, not only
its own way, but will have to care
for these bonds that would not have
been issued had the water system
been conducted as a private busi
ness would have been conducted
Paying for a read horse.
In times when it is difficult to
pay going expenses we are paying
for dead horses that should have
been buried 20 or 25 years ago. And
during the present year we retired
indebtedness to the tune of $18,-
182.06. That makes our interest
burden for next year more than a
thousand dollars less than it was
this year. That is some encourage
ment.
L et’» keep reducing the burden at
that rate.

“A dollar goes farther than It

have tried to get one ba :k
agree.

L ittle boy to butcher: "Give
me ten cents worth of dog
meat and be sure It's fresh
this time, the last you gave
me made fath er sick.”
WAIVING TH E PENALTY.
A move Is on foot to waive penal
ty as an Inducement to get taxee
p&ld.
The Sentinel w ill raise no objec
tion so long as this ruling Is applied
only to thoee who can show that
they were unable to pay. or that
they had excellent reason to believe
that payment of their taxes would
place them in a position where they
could not provide the necessities of
life.
No one can object to this kind of
consideration for those who would
have paid if they could have, but
the trouble is that many who could
have paid have taken advantage of
the county and have taken this
method of borrowing money at 8
per cent without asking for It It
costs no more to let taxes run than
to borrow the money with which to
pay them. In fact, under the law
enacted two years ago. it Is cheap
er to borrow money by this method
than from the banks, for Interest
does not have to be paid every six
months, so the delinquent taxpayer
gets the use. without any interest
charge whatever, of the money he
would pay in interest at the bank.
The person who has let his taxes
run for this reason is not entitled
to have the penalty remitted. To
rem it the penalty to such a taxpay
er would be an injustice to the pa
triotic persons who paid their
taxes, in order to keep governments
going, when they had to pay 8 per
cent on the money with which they
paid them, or could have earned 8
per cent w ith It.
To rem it the penalty to the per
son who was able to pay is the
same thing as applying an 8 per
cent penalty on the fellow who did
pay. The person who paid his taxes
promptly would, in fact, be paying
$8 a year more on every $100 of
taxes than the person who let his
taxes go.
W e want to be fa ir w ith the fel
low who couldn't pay, but we should
also be fa ir to the fellow who did
pay, often when it was difficult for
him to do so. And if we play fair
with the fellow who did pay, how-
can we expect much in the way of
results? There aren’t many who
couldn’t pay a year ago who can
pay now.

Ad Valorem Method of Assess
meat Is Found to Be
Heavy Burden.
A proposal to gradually substitute
a severance tax tor the present ad
valorem property tax on lumber
was discussed Fridav nikht at a
loint meeting of the W illam ette
valley Lumbermen s association and
the vallev branch of the West Coast
l.umbermeu s association held in
Eugene.
Coder a plan presented by •
committee of the Portland cham
ber of commerce the tax on lum
ber would be paid on a stumpage
value at the time the tim ber it cut
rather than on the stand of timber
held bv the taxpayer. The change
would be made gradually, w ith fea
tures of both the ad valorem and
severance taxes in vogue during a
10-vear period of transition from
one system to the other.
Tim ber holders would pay a tax
of 90 per cent of the present tax
the first vear, and the tax would
diminish 10 per cent each year.
Meanwhile the yield tax would be
in operation. O f this the counties
would keep 35 per cent, turning the
remainder over to the state to be
returned to the counties on the
basis of their percentage of the
state s timber.
J. H. Chambers of this city is
chairman of a committee that was
appointed to study the plan and re
port at the next meeting.
Lane county operators, led by J.
3. Magladrv of this city, president
of the association, expressed the
fear that a severance tax would re
lieve large timber holders at the ex
pense of small operators, and would
not produce enough money to run
the county government, thereby In
creasing taxes on other real prop
erty.
County Assessor Ben F. Keeney
will work w ith the committee. He
was present at the meeting and
said that some revision In lumber
taxation is needed, but that he
wanted to be sure of the amount
the new law would produce before
committing himself.
James W. Mott, congressman-
elect, urged lumbermen to take an
active part in politics and showed
what other industries and the w ork
ing men have been able to do for
themselves bv alertness in politics.
He declared himself In favor of
modification of the Sherman anti
trust act to allow lumbermen to
run their own business. He told
the lumbermen thev had a right to
federal subsidy the same as anv
other business. He said he would
fight for retention of a ta r iff on
lumber and pulp.

SPORTSM ANS1UF.
The thing that distinguishes a
genuine sportsman from a "bum
sport” is that those who have the
spirit of sportsmanship not only
know how to win gracefully, but
how to lose uncomplainingly. The
difference between a genuine sports
man and the other kind is that your
real sportsman never tries to shift
the responsibility for his failure up
on somebody else.
We have long believed that the
sporting attitude toward life is the
soundest of ail philosophies of liv
ing. T ry your best to win, but if
you lose don’t be too quick to blame
somebody else for your failure. Nine
times out of ten, people get w hat
ever rewards their individual abili
ty, character and industry entitle
them to. But it is our observation,
also, that about nine times out of
ten the man who fails is ready to
lay the blame upon the govern
ment, or the capitalists, or the boss,
or anybody else but himself.
True sportsmanship does not im
ply taking defeat lying down. The
true sportsman never knows when
he is licked. He never accepts defeat
as final, but continues to strive to
the end of the game. H e observes
the rules of the game rigidly. I f he
doesn't like them, he may try to
have them changed, but so long as
the rules are as they are, he fol
lows them.
W e hear a great deal of whining
in these days of depression, but
every little while we run across a
real sportsman, who hasn't let cir
cumstances lick him. but is starting
out afresh to try to win the game
of life. To every such man we take
off our h a t—Republican, Stanley,
Wls.
