SHOULD GET TOGETHER'
The city should get together with the peopleprorxsinir
to come to Salem to build and operate a paper box and spec j
ialty factory, to whom the Oregon Pulp & Paper company has
offered the north mill site, but going with which is the ditch
two and a balf blocks long "on Division street, from Front
east to beyond the line of Liberty street. ! :-.
The men proposing to buikLthe new factory want, the
cjty to f ill in the ditch, at the s expense of the tcityvas' they
do not wish to use the north water power yy":''''
i. "'And it is understood that Walter S. Low street commis
sioner, says the 'expense to the city for filling in the 4itch
need be only a negUble amount,4 if the city be given plenty of
time; , n order that some of the dirt may be delivered there
from other, public works , ' :',-- '
fc bo if would seem that this matter might be 4 easily
l straightened out. . It will be, no doubt, j .
1 I .',s We cannot get too many factories in Salem. '

ijitandoned. But it has not been in use for a long time,1 and it
ipight be 'developed at another point in that section (
r v Or it might be added to the south power. Any way, Salem
vVants' the proposed factory, and all the rest that are offered
on any reasonable terms.
During the past three years the" state governments of
the United States have increased their bonded "indebtedness
nearly fifty percent And during this period of increasing
obligations there has been peace in this country. It is unfair
to longer, lay our "plunging" financial propensities ta'the
"war." The huge debt .now amounts k $1,558,742,433.68 or
$13.89 for every man, woman and child in the nation.
The highest per capita debt of any state in the Union
is that of South Dakota, the share of each inhabitant being
$93.95 or nearly six times as much as the national per capita
debt. Oregon is second with $72 per capita debt and North
Carolina is third with $38.87 per capita debt.
The Pacific group of states Washington, California and
Oregon, has the highest per Capita debt of "any geographical
section or $25.83. Indiana, Ohio,, ermontflNeW Hampshire,
Georgia, Florida,1 Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas carry in
debtedness of from; $1 to $5 per inhabitant. . Nebraska, Wis
consin and Kentucky have no bonded debts. The latter owes
$5,679,000 on outstanding warrants and Wisconsin is indebted
to its trust funds to the extent 0f $1,963,700.
I Oregon's total debt is approximately $60,098,490. Of
this, amount. $38,040,750 has been allowed for 1 highways ;
$20,000,000 for soldiersV bonus and $1,607,740 'for funding
operations.' ; :-.
Oregon's plight is not -so startling however as it may
.pm at first readinir. The highway fund will be paid back,
in large part at least, from the gasoline tax and the soldiers
bonus is in the nature of loans which will be returned to the
state treasury as the loans and interest are repaid.
However, with .hte balance of uncovered indebtedness
reduction of taxes through rigid economy in this state should
be the watchword of every board and commission entrusted
with, the! spending of money. : ;; - .

, In the pioneer days in Oregon a circuit judge holding
cturt In a county seat away from his home was baited by
jackass of a jackleg lawyer, and at the noon meal at the
hotel one of the attorneys in attendance at court asked the"
circuit, - judge, why; he did not administer the reproof he
deserved . to the offending jackass jackleg The judge said
that in his home town there vwas a dog with a, deep voice
which nightly bayed at themoon when the crescent orb rode

THE NEWS AND SUGGESTIONS
KATHERINE BROUGHT
i ''::Xi ' TO MADGE.. p.
With the directness and capabil
ity bora of her training. Katherine,
haTing received my assurance that
she was. doing .the right thing in
attempting to get Dr. Bratthwalte
to operate upon Mrs. Durkee. be
gan at once to plan hen course of
action. . ..- r-
'Ot course, I can -only suggest
Dr. Bralthewaltej tp Alfred." she
said, and 4 fancied an unconscious
appeal jto jne- in her Voice which I
promptly answered T'
"Suppose t mention Dr. Braith-
waite'sSme'to hinl," I, said, then
added with a'-'snalle calculated to
divert Kathertne'i attention, "un
less he tnlght think I war, trying
to drum.up trade .for. In-laws. ? ,
The absurdity of this, consider
ing Dr.; Bralthwaite's international
reputation,, brought a. smile to
Katberine's lips, but there was a
sweet seriousness In the eyes she
turned on me. ;' :. ivy v
"You , thoughtful v dear!,r she
said gratefully. "That will be so
much better. .-And " she - hesi
tated perceptibly perhaps,
would you wire Dr. ' Bratthwalte
also, it Alfred approTes?"
Bralthwalte wrote
not long ago. .
So the two women correspond
ed! I mentally saluted both of
them, but was careful to let no
hint of surprise escape me.
"I must get my:, uniform and
everything ready,"- Katherine
wtt on practically. "I'll Just slip
up now to' my room and make up
a bundle for Mrs. Ticer. Do you
suppose she could launder them
for me right away?
- "It won't take me ten 'minutes
to find out," I returned promptly
"111 get my car it it's still la com
mission although ; Father wrote
me that he had li.qyerhauled Just
before he left for Washington, and
HI go orer with them right' away.'
J "J fancy it's alt right.": Kather
Ine ;sajd. vThere s. been- no one
here' to ruW It since he went away

ther slnpe I left the farm for the
apartment is New York. JHU sum:
mons to Washington baa been so
imperatlre that he had been nn
able to stop in New York to see-i
me, 'and I had missed him sorely
at my homecoming. V
"very wen, indeed," sbe an
swered. "I told him before be left
that he was getting younger every
day, and you should ' have seen
your -mother-in-law glare at me.
I donH know whether she suspect
ea me or trying to vamp mm or
fHush!" I. whispered nervously,
for I fancied heard a step In the
baJL
But when I had gone to the door
there was no one to be seen, and
I returned ta Katherine with a re
lieved little laugh. : . .
The country! safe," I announc
ed. careful, however, to keep my
voice , at a subdued pitch.' . "And
yon .mustn't mind Mother Gra
ham's disapproval of your frivol
ity. Dicky says she suffers terri
bly from ingrowing dignity.!'. -
."Mind it." Katherine exclaimed.
"My dear, I love it!. ,J.t' Jnat as
good as a play to watch her when
she registers disapprobation." "
I reflected 'a little ' grimly that
Katherine might not enjoy the
performances quite so much it she
were more nearly concerned in
them.' I did not mean to betray
the thought, but she was too
quick for me.
" . "Of course, it isn't exactly a
farce for you. I know," she said,
"and you certainly are "a dear "
The sound of a door on the sec
ond - floor opening and shutting
with vigor, brought us both to our
feet, and then my mother-in-law's
voice sounded cearly peremptor
ily: .
- "Mrs. Bickett, will you please
come up here? I saw you come
in several minutes ago."
- "Angels and ministers . . of
grace!" Katherine quoted softly!
"You're almost as Impressive as
Barrymore,! I whispered. "But it
won't do you any good. She has
decided that she need a trained
nurse until she leaves, and that
Dicay is to pay tor. it, it you
please. I hope you suit her.
Miss." " I
."I'll try my best.! Katherine
said with the demure air of a
newly-engaged maid, ; as' the late
Victorian writers used to vision
her. Then she went to the door
and called cherrily: I: 1 t '
"Coming in Just a .minute."
.Returning, she whispered hur
riedly:
"Does she know about Mrs.
Durkee? If not. shall I tell her?"
Kath-I "No, to the first question." I
Mrs. I answered. "And decidedly yes to
about" him the second. It will help me ever
so much," and as she went out of
the room, the telephone rang out
shrilly, and I walked toward it
with the conviction that Alfred
Durkee was at the other end of
the clamoring wire. "

demonstrating has been hit upon
by the communisms of Vienna, Ef
fectually to stop all traffic of a
street, several hundred unemploy
ed communists and war invalids
lay down on the rails of the street
cars in the city's principal street.
It; took the police more than an
hour to' clear the tracks so that
traffic could be resumed. When
ever 30 or 50 or the weary com
munists had been induced' to get
jap and seek their repose elsewhere
the same number would stretch out
on the rails farther on. - The entire
performance was a source of unal
loyed pleasure for the humorous);
