"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

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

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-

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

and in case of a default in payment

the sale of Bancroft bonds, or by vol

by selling the property assessed In

pear that all the tax payers of the

fifteen Years Ago
(From the columns of The Bulletin
of June 29, 1906.)
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.

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

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

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-
