THERE'S $20,000 TO SPARE
At the city budget meeting last week a good deal was made
of the fact, as there asserted, that it was unfair and, also, im
possible to make comparisons between the budget there up for
discussion and budgets of earlier years. 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.

We read in the Eugene Register-Guard that Eugene needs
a first-class airport as a step toward national defense. 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.

for the presidency. One member of the family is willing to

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

the entry of verdict of a Jury or

In an limicus curiae brief filed
by Elisha Hanson, attorney for the

associatbon, the manner in which
the contempt cases were insti
gated Is caustically reviewed.
The Lxis Angelns Bar associa

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

"In effect, the bar association

an intolerable restraint upon the
press." j

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.
