Saving the City's Credit
NE of the most vital things in the life of a municipality
f hi uimei vAtttm of its credit It is because of our
i 1 . , a Aiarin on nrnmnt in th T)3V-
ciuca aim vuuuim buu duwi uwmww v. r -
xnent of principal and interest of their bonds that they are
-Bble to borrow money at rates from 3 to 6 when private
borrowers have to pay up to 8 for money.
At the present time the city of Salem enjoys excellent
credit, her bonds have high rating and ate in demand among
banks, insurance companies and-private individuals. In re
cent years our bonded debt has risen rather sharply however
due to issues as follows :
1927 Incinerator bonds 40,000.
1929 Airport bonds 50,000.
1927-1931 Sewer bonds 475,000.
1927-1931 Bridge bonds 850,000.
This is a total increase in four years of-$915,000. This
ftoes not include issues of Bancroft bonds for street im
provements. At the close of this year the total bonded debt
of Salem, exclusive of Bancroft bonds will be $1,117,673.91.
The sharp increase in our bond debt has caused a correspond-.
Ing increase in the tax rate to take care of service on this
debt. . , ,
Now it is proposed to issue $2,500,000 additional bonds
for a water system. In spite of the fact that the income of

than $1,500,000 with proper allowances for retirements and
depreciation the city is urged to mortgage all the homes and
property of the city for $2,500,000. This will mean a certain
and unescapable increase in the tax rate or else an increase
in the water rates, whicn amounts to the same thing.
The effect of -this will be to impair the city's credit
standing. In fact bond authorities express doubt that the city
would be able to market a bond issue of such size under pres
ent conditions. Even if it could it would be a serious mis
take for the city to do it Most property owners feel that tax
es are high enough at present, in fact they clamor for reduc
tions. Yet a large share of the tax goes to pay interest and
principal on bonds.
There is only one thing to do for the safety of the city's
Credit, for the protection of the home owners of the city, and
the prevention of piling on a heavy tax burden in the future
and that is to defeat decisively the proposition to issue $2,
500,000 in bonds at the city election, Tuesday, Dec. 15th.
; Tusko Climbs the Water Wagon
rjnUSKO a tippler," chortles our evening contemporary the
JL other evening when it reviewed with manifest glee the
indulgence of our mammoth elephant in a ten-gallon toddy
for his cold. Jubilant it was over the discomfiture of the
dries that such a hogshead of liquor could be conjured up in
these eighteenth amendment days to serve as medicine for the
ailing elephant
The first report was that Tusko's draught had worked
an immediate cure. Gone was his sore throat, returned was
his appetite for hay and fruit. Alas that story was written
too soon, before the inevitable effects had finally been noted.
For on the second morning Tusko showed up with the dark,
brown taste of the conventional hang-over. He needed a
bromo to clear his head. He tossed the tub from which he had
drunk so eagerly contemptuously to one side. And the report
. said that if he could have voiced his wants he would have
called for a tub of ice Water and several dozjen aspirin.
So the effect of the whiskey on the elephant was just
what the school books on physiology say it is on the human
being. There is the momentary exhilaration followed by the
penalty of nausea and depression. Tusko was described as
. moping penitently, his flesh deflated like a balloon and his
ears hanging motionless like sails of a becalmed schooner. He
would eat no hay and scorned an offering of apples. He
stands convicted of his sin, bunting for the mourner's bench.
We extend our sympathies to the Capital Journal which
hailed Tusko's indulgence as another proof of the need for
repeal of the 18th amendment When tho full story became
known it turned out a great victory for moral reform and the
Volstead act! Tusko a tippler? Ah, no more. Tusko is on the
water wagon now.

; heights of Parnassus with organ-toned verse is dead at
his. prime. 62. The country will miss him, and the west A

' at Spokane, so the west ha3 a friendly feeling for him. Then
some of his work was done . in the Colorado mountains,
which also contributed to making him a voice of the west
Lindsay's poetry was unique in its. pompous tempo,
sometimes uneven in rythm and again &3 regular in pulsation
as the beat of carwheeb over rails. He was a modernist in
his style; yet strangely old-fashioned in his credo. He was
In his religion what would have been called in the older dav
a ampbellite, so there was none of the raw realism of Walt
Whitman or of the later modems about his writings. That
U rare too, for most realists seem to delight in working in
the nude.
Hia"Mumbo Jumbo, God of Congo" is an excellent
example ofliis .poetry. It was built to read, with studied ap
preciation of the sound effects. Lindsay gave frequent re
citals of his poems, the latest just three days before his
death. Our own Howard McKinley Coming's "Joaquin Mil
ler Rules over the Ranee" suggests the UndsAv
both in measure and mood and the building up of sonorous
effects..

Without any doubt the ralnfl

would be highly fitting for the

to make the rest of the world

One feature of the pageant should
be deroted to the women who

was: "Do you think the county

extensive contributions made by
Marion county into the state high

which hare been made by the state
to the county, the state should be
willing to pay for this needed
