Tour paper for the Itth tost recommends that the money for buUding the new high school should be raised bv selllna bonds, jn a -city where the taxes are ss high ss they ara here, and where they contribute so little toward improvements, and where the whole amount of money assessed anlnst the taxpayers to absorbed by the officials there should be sn abund anoe of money ea hand, and would be if It were Judiciously expended. The city has a la raw bonded debt and there la nothing to show for it, la fact, were the Drooertr sold tomorrow It would not bring tn enough to pay one half the debt. What the city needs is to culti vate mere public spirit, snd sleet men to office who will administer public af fairs with wisdom. If this were done there would be ample money not only to build schools but for other public Im provement a But these improvements can never some to pass so long ss the present realms remains la power. Take for Instance gambling. For a few months the dtr received about one third of what It should from the sporting element The sky pilots snd their followers raised such a hue and cry that, ostensibly. aambllns was stopped, but K waa dons only In the Instance of the graft. No better niustrattoa can be given than a dally occurrence. A policeman en bis Second-street beat found a money ma chine running tn a Chinaman's gin shop. The fact was reported to the chief of polios, who told the polfcemaa to con fiscate the machine and arrest the Chinaman. The case came up before Judge Hogua, ' was postponed from day to day for a week, and dually wound up by being- indefinitely postponed. The facta are, Portland's officials do not want to stop gambling: did they really desire to do so It could,i not exist 'M hours. As long as this Is the case why cannot the city reap the benefits from the merchandise machines? It would be far better for tha city to have these proceeds than the graft. Nothing IS done for ths benefit of the publle; everything Is s prlvwts "Job." There are a number of streets that require filling op. - If the street cleaners would All these de pressions with debris it would Improve ths streets and save the property-boldera much money. Instead of using the debris for the streets It Is given to private parttea who are well able to pay for having their lota filled. Here Is another Instance of revenue raising: A poor man (expressman) owning a horse snd wagon has great difficulty In making a living for his family, and Is compelled to pay a license for hta wagon, but the wealthy man who owns an automobile does not pay a license for It. The poor man who owns a little property is taxed to Its full value. In many instances ths taxes ex ceeding what the property would bring at public sale. The wealthy man owning hundreds ahd thousands of dollars worth of property Is taxed about one fifth ef Its value. Taxea are at present enormous and will In many Instances confiscate the property of the poor. And this will con tinue until the publle taks some Inter est hi ths city government. All the of ficials tn the various departments of ths city employ about three times ss many deputies as are necessary,, sneer of these do nothing but sign their name te the pay roll at the end of tha month. ' To sett bonds for the purpose of oonet root ing a high school win not relieve the pressure, but will only add to ths ter rible burden the people srs now strug gling under. Four per cent tax la mom than the Interest which the people of Europe and In many, of our own states receive for their money when loaned out.
