THURSDAY. JUNE SO. 1921. "We know nowadays that even a, universal education , auppltea only the basis for a healthy republican state. Next to education there must come abundant, prompt, and truthful Information of what ia going on in the state, and frank and tree discussion of the Issues of the times." H. O. Wells, "The Out line of History.- FAIR PLAY There will be almost general ap proval, we believe, of the action of the school board in reinstating S. W Moore as superintendent of the city schools. Just as there was general disapproval of the attempt to unseat him by picking technical flaws in his contract of employment. In this the people are making their decision in spirit of (air play and wholly with out reference to Mr. Moore's capaci ties as superintendent, which at no time have been disputed. Fair play, In the popular opinion, would not permit a man to be em ployed for a year and paid at a can tract rate and then, at the end of the year, be removed on the ground that the contract, which bad been fol lowed as to the amount of pay, was void.

Times Improve The hammer rings throughout the hind, they're building sliaeks on every hand, and normalcy re turns; the honest workman sheds his coat and builds a hencoop or a boat, and blows in what he earns. The war is over, and at last we're cutting out the grisly past, of which we talked so long; the present is a bully time for buying lumber, lath and lime, and we are going strong. The Problems we were wont to ride now have a rest, we let them slide, until the Harvest Home; and now we spend our afternoons in planting peas and stringless prunes, and digging up the loam. The loafers do not throng the street, emerging from their dark retreat in alley or in court, and in my jaunts I do not rub against the Spit and Argue Club, which used to hold the fort. The signs and tokens every where a better state of things declare, and men are growing sane; less foolish clamors do they raise, and they forsake the dotty ways that gave the gods a pain. There are discordant notes, I know, and there are strains of strife and woe, by which the world is bored; but through the wail of grjef and wrong you hear the grand triumphant song of industry restored. . We sincerely trust that the effort being made to persuade Councilman Innes to withdraw his resignation will be successful. Running as an Independent, Mr. Innes polled a larg er vote than any other candidate for the council at last year's election, in dicating the popular confidence In I the'coUncii ,n0uld have no discretion COUNCIL MAY USE. OWN JUDGEMENT ON PETITIONS, BENSON (Continued from Page I.) thority to determine whether the per sons joining in such petition do, as a matter of fact, constitute the owners of a majority of all the property that would be benefited by said pro posed improvement, and whether such signers would be benefited thereby and. In its discretion, grant or deny the prayer of the petition as it found these facts to be; and under well established rules of law, the judgment of the council In the mat ter, honestly exercised, would not be subject to review by the courts. I think a careful reading and con sideration of the Involved section ill convince anyone that the con struction contended for is the only i one possible from the language used. 1 for, had it been the (Mention that tline to grant the prayer of the pe tition. "There is another phase of this question that should be considered. Section 27 of chapter 19 of the city charter embodlea what is popularly known as the Bancroft act, a provi sion .for paying assessments for local improvements in deferred semi-annual Installments; where an owner's property is assessed $10 or over, he can apply to pay such assessment un der the deferred payment plan, to the amount of the assessed valuation on his lot plus the amount of the as sessed valuation of his permanent Im provements thereon as shown by the last county assessment roll. He must pay In cash the amount of his assessment In excess of these as- garotte 'To sen I In the delicious Burley tobacco flavor. It's Toasted 4 rwu naiiie w,e. sessed vuluutlons. If he does not i 1 pay such excess, he cannot bond, and his property will be sold forthwith by the city. The bonds Issued under the Buncroft act are obligations of the city, which the city must pay like any other of Its indebtedness to the holders of the bonds. Irrespective of the fact whether the city collects In the assessments or not. Moreover. i the contracts for all Improvements under our charter are made with the city through Ita authorised officials, and in case of a default in payment by the city, judgment can be obtain ed against It and the levy of a tax or dered to pay same. The fund for meeting this contract la provided by the sale of Bancroft bonds, or by vol untary payment of the assessment, or by selling the property assessed In case same ia not bonded. In case a tract of land Is not worth the assess ment for the improvement, the own er would naturally refuse to pay same, the city Is forced to buy In the property, carry It at an expense, and eventually sell It for the best price ohtalnuble. probably at a loss. Thus It will ap pear that all the tax payers of the city are Interested in every contract' for a local Improvement, and the city council, ns the representative of nil tho tuxpnyttrs, should hiivn I lie abso lute! veto power over every proposed rout met for a legiil Improvement. Whore the properly nHnenantilo (or n proponed Improvement Is clearly worth what It costs, a rmincll would hnrtlly go on record ns opposing sutili Improvement, but where iiuy of the iinKexKiililn property is not worth the cost of Hie Improvement, or where I ho proposed Improvement Is of tlotililful or even uurertiilii value, I consider lluil (ho council, as a guard ian of tlu pnlillo Interest of ull the tux payers of the city, would prop erly excrclnn Its veto power on a pro posed locul Improvement."

The statements recently made that the Oregon Trunk line would soon commence construction of a road up the Deschutes river are now realized, and Saturday W. F. Nelson, the pro moter and president of the project, started a force of men grading near the mouth of the river. The survey is completed and rights of way secur ed for a distance of more than 100 miles Into the Interior of Oregon.- Last Friday evening M. J. Scanlon and son, R. H., J. P. Keyes and S. A. Blakely, all of Minnesota, arrived in Bend and spent several days cruising over a large tract of timber held by the Brooks-Scanlon people of Minne apolis. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Drake and Miss Ruth Reid were members of a party spending the week-end at Blue lake. Mrs. Hugh O'Kane left Saturday for Portland, where she will visit her sister for about a month. ( W. H. Staats has recently receiv ed patent to the 80-acre tract of land adjoining Bend on the south. in the matter, but should act wholly in a ministerial capacity, the follow ing phrase in said section would have been omitted: 'The common coun cil shall thereupon proceed to consid er said petition, and if it appear that the' owners of a majority of the property are benefited by said con templated Improvement and have signed said petition, the common council shall thereupon declare by resolution,' etc.andinita place words of this import used, 'It shall appear that said petition Is signed by the own ers of a majority of the property as sessable for the cost of said improve ment, the said common council shall thereupon declare by resolution,' etc. Said section 28, as it now reads, wise ly provides for the protection of the property holder, since It lodges In the council the power to investigate a proposed improvement before it is made and ascertain its real merits by competent Investigation, and if such Investigation shows that such improvement involves the use of some untried material or of some ma terial or plan of construction con cerning which there exists a reason able doubt as to its utility, the coun cil Is in a position to declare that the petitioning property owner will not be benefited, and hence it can de- .Special For Saturday!
