SAVE MONEY ON YOUR BULLETIN SUBSCRIPTION Our Annual Bargain Period Starts Today The Daily Bulletin, by carrier in Hend, Red mond or Prineville, one year $5.00 The Daily Bulletin, by mail in Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties, one year $3.50 Outside of Deschutes, Crook and Jefferson Counties, by mail . $4.50 The Weekly Bulletin, by $600,000 IS TOO MUCH Remember thai next Thursday you iU not get a chance to vote separately on the questions whether under existing conditions the city hotild acquire the water plant of the Bend Water, Light & Power Co. and whether it should go to the Tumalo for a new supply. You vote on one question only, whether Bend shall issue $600,000 in water bonds. We have pointed this out before and after reading Mr. Foley s advertisement in yesterday's paper we think it desirable to men- ion the fait again, for the impression one miijht otherwise have s that the opportunity will exist to vote on the two questions separately. "Learned arguments have been advanced recently," .Mr. F'oley says, "purporting to give reasons why the city should not owti the citv water." We assume that the reference is to matter appearing in this space, and on tin- "learned argument" has been whv the 8600.000 in Witter bonds municipal ownership idea which is only a phase of the election. On the question of issuing (600,000 in water bonds the dollar mark, referred to by Mr. F'oley. is one of the standards of meas urement, lie himself makes it one when in this advertisement he agrees that 1600,000 ia too much to spend. THAT IS WHV THIS BOND ISSUF: SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN. If it is authorized by the people you can be sure it will be spent. Mr. Foley's company would like to sell its water system to the city. That is why so low a price has been placed on it. On the whole subject of voting $600,000 in bonds Mr. F'oley is plainly in doubt as his half hearted statement indicates. He has no idea that his companv is iroinn to risk the health of the community jn order to make a profit on their y 0pMse(i to spending 1600,000 for a water sv.stem and so, we believe, are a maioritv of his fellow citizens. M p . . fa , ,hat Bpending of the bond issue, if , ... i . j r a i i fi l voted, will be in the hands of a water lxiard. Here again the people should have details ol the plan. They should know who are to Ui- mt iiiiu'i s oi me ooaro Do not lie misled hy talk about pure, told Tumalo water. The city's own engineers say that the Tumalo is contaminated from the forest boundary down and the reservoir that they plan will mean that in the hot days of summer the water will not be cold.

COOLIDGE LIKES FURTHER SLASH IN TAXLEVIES Madden Outlines Plans For Reduction CLOSE TO BED ROCK Little More Possible In Way of Economies After This Year, Is Believed (V. P, J.ra-(1 Wire U Thr B-nU Rullrtin) BWAMP8COTT, ataaa., Aur 1. President CoolidKe today Is consider ina ii new lux reduction plan, morn drastic than any heretofore ad vanced. He approves mnsl of the features of the plan which was lufd before him by Representative Mar tin Madden. Illinois, chairman of the powerful house appropriations com mittee. If the treasury tax experts say these rate( will raise eiiotiKh revenue to keep the government koIiik the president will faVor them. With some details modified. It Is probable that the administration's tax reduction bill will he this plan, to he known probably as the "Mad den plan." Secretary of Ihe Treas ury Mellrjn has decided to keep away from the limelicht in the lax discus sion and CoolidKe also wishes to avoid appearing in a dominntlna po sition, so the plan will not carry their names, it is believed. Madden outlined the plan to Presi dent Cool id-- at a conference at the summer White House yesterday and then left for Washington. The plan would cut taxes down to tffOO.OOOiOOO, Madden believes. He hopes through his committee lo hold the government expenditures to $3. I n.i.iiuu, - or si 25.OOO.0O0 less than this year but he and the presi dent both have arrived at the conclu sion that the expenses of govern ment operation then will have been cut as far us they can be. Lust year's appropriation reduction total ling St7S.000.0O0 and the $800,000, iioo slash of the year hefore have brought the government down to bed rock. Coder 95,000 I jM-r Cent The other principal features of the "Madden plan" are: Abolition of all federal estate und inheritance taxes. Reducing the flat income tax rate on corporation from 12.5 to 10 per cent. Making no change in the present personal exemption but decree "ting the rate on the earners of smaller incomes On incomes of less than 16.000, Madden favors a one per cent normal tux in place of Ihe pres ent two per cent: on incomes be tween 10,000 and SS.000 he would cut the rate from four to three per cent: und on incomes above SS.Oon Ihe normal rate would be cut from six to five per cent. Humiliation of all "nuisance taxes" including Ihose on theaters, movies and club dues. Enact meat of a law providing that all government surpluses of $50. 000,000 or more nt the end of the fiscal year should be rebated auto matically by the secretary of the treasury to the income tax payers on a prorata basis, instead of applying to paying off the principal of the public debt.
