This was for the rea son, as stated by speakers, that lat year's budget was made up on a different basis from this year's. Careful study fails to reveal any difference in the essentials. Space will be gladly given in this paper for an explanation of the differences that are claimed. And now, for further study by the tax payers and as evi dence that, as it seems to a good many, no such tax is necessary as is proposed for the coming year the latest monthly budget report that for September last is presented in this paper. It will be found on this page handy for reference in connection with what is said about it in this column. Reports like this are presented to the city commission monthly. As will be seen they show in some detail the figures of the budget estimates including income and outgo. They show, also, the actual figures for the month and those for the year to the date of the report. This report covers nine months, or three-fourths of the year. The budget for 1940, as originally set up, looked to a total expenditure of $112,905. In connection with land purchases the city this year has set up a special item of $4,000 and for the purposes of this discussion we are going to call the total budget for the year $116,905. You will see these figures in the first column in the report. To meet the expenses (the original $112,905) for the 12 months of 1940 the city estimated income from sources other than taxation of $17,000 and the tax levy was set at the difference, or $95,905. You will find these fig ures in the first column under receipts. Look now and see what the income for the first nine months has actually amounted to. The figures are in the last column. At a glance you will see that against an expectancy of $17,000 for the year there has been taken in in nine months $32,993.30 and that against a tax levy of $95,905 there has been taken in in nine months a total of $96,251.89. The total of these two items is $129,245.19. Compare that with estimated expense, including that $4,000, of $116,905, and remember that this expense figure is for the year. There are other receipts shown at the bottom of that last column. They have little or no bearing on this discussion being agency accounts that are balanced out, as. will be seen, in the account of expenditures. For ordinary purposes the city planned to spend $116,905 in 19 10 and we find that already it has on hand $129,245.19 or $12,340.19 more than its needs. What would be a fair guess of its income for the remaining three months $7,000? If the figure comes to that it will have taken in nearly $20,000 more than it planned to spend. ' With this $20,000 why cannot next year's city tax be dras tically reduced? The conclusion that the tax can be cut is drawn from a study of this September report. All the evidence is presented to you. Study it and make up your own mind. And while doing so question whether you think the McReyn olds' bond money should be spent twice.

Why? Because as a rail and highway center it would be marked for bombing in case of war and "a few well directed Bombings in and around Eugene could cripple all transport between Cali fornia and the Northwest." Not all, brother. Trains could still use the Great Northern line through Bend and as for high ways there is always The Dalles-California.

Information is available at the Bend post office as to the steps necessary to obtain employment. People going to Bremerton in search of work should make ad vance contacts first and then be able to finance themselves for at least 60 days after they arrive, ocnrotier advises. Publicity and pictures in news papers and in Life magazine have created the impression that Brem erton has taken on the earmarks of a fabulous "boom town." Schroder said, adding that such is not the true picture of the situa tion.

By Bruce Cation INEA Strvk Staff CormnoaaVMI Washington Most people may overlook ils importance, but as striking a "freedom of the press" case as the supreme court has had to deal with in a long time now awaits hearing. The case deals with an appeal by the Los Angeles Times from a contempt of court conviction in a California court. The Times was had un origi nally because of three editorials it wrote in the fall of 1937 and the spring of 193& These editorials commented on (1) A jury's con viction of 22 sit-down strikers, 1 2 the ins and outs of "boss rule" in Los Angeles, following conviction of two persons accused of having solicited bribes, and 3 the an- rplication for probation of two men who had been convicted of assault ing non-union truck drivers. The Los Angeles Bar associa tion, reading these three editor ials, petitioned the local court to hold the newspaper in contempt. In due time the Times was cited and convicted, and the conviction later was upheld by the state su preme court. a a a TRIALS OVER BEFORE PUBLICATION Importance of the case rests in the fact that its outcome may atiect civil liberties of the aver age man for years to come. Point at Issue is whether a pa per may be held in contempt if its editorial remarks may have a reasonable tendency' to influ ence justice, or whether there must be a "clear and present dan ger" that they will have that ci ted. The Times makes the point that the trials on which it commented were all over before the editorials complained of were published, and that none of the judges sitting In the cases in question had read the editorials anyhow. Thereupon it raises the question: when is it proper for a newspaper to dis cuss cases which are before the courts? In a brief filed with the supreme court, the Times' counsel makes this assertion: "If these rulings arc permitted to stand, no public comment may oe made on problems of social, economic or moral consequence in volved in court proceedings, even though the proceedings have pass ed the stage of finality following the entry of verdict of a Jury or the judgment of a court.

The Lxis Angelns Bar associa tion petitioned for the contempt proceedings, says Hanson's brief, because of long-standing dissatis faction with the Times editorial policy, and following an extended soarch mi the papers editorial col umn.i "an the hope mat something would Iturn up to support a charge of cont e mpt." The brief adds: "In effect, the bar association had setJ Itself up as a self-appointed pub'Sc censor of the press. Such a 'pervlisive threat' would Impose an intolerable restraint upon the press." j Should a bar association com mittee ihe recognized as a proiier means lot starting a contempt pro ceeding; in such circumstances, the brief asserts, "then the door will be opened to other agencies with alleged .grievances against the press and the constitutional guar antee -aa ill be whittled away by subsequent encroachments."

WOt l.l) Ol'T VOTE BENIi Oi-luhrr IN. 1940. To Ihe Editor: Crantlng for purposes of this discussion that a publicly owned power system would bring re-duoi-d rates to consumers there sllll appears no sound reason why the people of Bend should vote to have the rity included In the trt county Public Utility I)lrict nl the election to he held on Novem ber 5th. The Bend charter author izes the city to engage In the gen eratlon and distribution of elect rtr power and it would seem Ihiil if public ownership Is desired pro eeedlngs to that end should he taken by Bend on lis own rather than through helping sit up an other tax-levying body over which It will not have control. The outstanding example of suc cessful operation of a publicly owned power system In I lie west is that of our sister cily of Eu gene which Is operated by the i Eugene Water Hoard It having control over both the water und power systems so a Public Utility District Is not necessary to the successful operation of a munici pal power plant. If the district is created as pro posed the five directors chosen at the same election will hold oilier until January. 1913, or 26 months, during which period matters of great importance will likely lie up for action and In all decisions Bend will have hut one vole out of five. Bend, Redmond, Tumalo, Prinevllle and Madras each have a candidate for director so for more than two years Bend, al though probably representing as many 'ople anil as much pros prcllve revenue as all the re mainder of Ihe district, will have only the same voice as each of the other communities. This matter of public power is of great Impor tance whether one is for or against and t,he people of Bend might well look askance at voting themselves Into an organization wherein Its member of the gov erning board during Ihe critical formative period can be onl volcd four to one.
