It should be so spent, but sometimes it isn't; sometimes it can't be. Take for example the matter of the county health unit, provided for in the county budget for 1941. The year is more than three-fourths gone, but no county health unit has boen formed; it is said that the type of man desired by the county health association to head the unit has not been available on account of war conditions. Whatever the reason, the money remains unexpended; it will be used to retire general fund warrants. For the first half of 1942, the county is again bud geting for a county unit; if one is not set up the money will again go to warrant retirement. Another illustration may be found in school district and city budgeting. The Bend school district has, in its full year budget, an item of ?2.000 including funds for beginning con struction expense on a playground building on Harmon field. The city of Bend has, in its half year budget, an item of $1,000 including funds for beginning construction expense on a playground building on Harmon field. Now, after it is too late for the school district to do any thing about it, there comes from Washington strong advice against new construction elsewhere than in defense areas. Bend is not in a defense area. It's the question of defense (or war) use priorities. As noted, there is little that the school district can do about it. Its budget is passed, its levy voted. If the money can't be used for building, about the only thing to be done with it legally will be to leave it unspent and show it at the next budgeting time as cash on hand available to diminish the dis trict's necessary levy by that much. The school district has no warrant debt on which the money could be applied. The city, with its $1,000 item, finds its budget still in a formative state. The taxpayers' meeting has not yet been held, nor has the election at which voters must approve that part of the levy in excess of the statutory six per cent limita tion. There is still the opportunity to drop a listed expendi ture and, if the expenditure cannot be made there is every reason for dropping it. Respectfully we make the suggestion. WHEN THE WIND BLOWS j Just how it happened, no one seems to know, but when ' Deschutes county's court house was constructed there was built into it an Aeolian harp of unusual volume and resonance ! although, perhaps, lacking somewhat in the finer harmonics. When the wind is m the right quarter, the harp begins to sound, its tones rising and falling, sometimes nearing a shriek, : sometimes descending to a more dignified howl. Always it is impressive, although county officials, especially those working in the front of the building, will tell you that it is also disturb ing. Some of them even call it noisy. A brisk breeze will set the harp going at a rate that would indicate that a gale at least is blowing outside. Apparently the county's Aeolian harp is a surplus value. No provision for it was made in the specifications for the building and certainly no extra charge for it was itemized in the contractor's bill. But there it is. County Judge Allen has a theory that the concrete ledge at the edge of the balcony in ! front of the jail cells on the top floor level may be the harp. ! Certain it is that the type of construction of the general build-! ing lends itself to the transmission and even amplification of sound. Technicians would say that it is very "live.',' Some day the administrators of the building may find . means to mute their harp, but there is no hxed idea at the mo ment as to just how this is to be done. In the mean time it continues to play, controlled only by the vagaries of the wind. MORE ABOUT The Capitol OwiHiwii.il rram Pja Ona) a $114 per person.

Sen ator Bone is an out and out oppo nent of war and has resisted every step laken by the administration which he thinks will involve the United Stales. Senator Holman also is oiiiHjsed to ree;iling the neutrality act.
