About Music And Bands.
Far back beyond the days of psaltery and lyre dates
man's love for music. Crude were music's origins; won
derful has been its growth; great have been its develop
ment and improvement through the ages. Its beginnings
in organized form, so far as human history runs, were
Grecian. The Greek word from which its name i8 derived
was made originally to include the arts of the nine muses.
Harmony was the name which they gave to the esthetic
grouping of sounds. Spontaniety -was a distinguishing
mark of much of the archaic music of the Greeks, The
musician did not bind himself to the following of set
paths in rendition. He just cut loose and sang. On his
next appearance, as like as not, he would stick to his
words but change his tune. Some of his notes, we gath
er from the books, wore rather sour.
Gradually the striving for better harmony became
fruitful. Slowly through the years the Greeks improved
their art. What they learned passed to other peoples as
international intercourse followed conqueBt. The an
cient Greeks never attained to high accomplishment of
what they bad begun. Their efforts, measured by sub
sequent developments, never carried them above elemen
tary crudencss. Peoples in other lands carried on. By
the 13th century rythm had been mastered to an extent
that enabled voices to sing contrasted, rythms simultan
eously, and the independence of parts had been accom
plished. Instruments by use of which' music could be
interpreted, had been invented, meanwhile, including the
viojlin, king of them all. And music's development be
came more rapid.
The golden ago gave us masters in music; in Hol
land Arcadelt, in France Genet, in Italy -Palestina, in
Spain Morales, in Germany Handl. There woro others.
Few people nowadays know much about their work;
But with the masters of the Sonata epoch it is different.
That epoch gave us Haydn, Mozart, Beothoven, Cheru
buni and others whose works have lived and are known
even to the casual lovor of good musio of today. .
In America most of us know and appreciate the
music of these later- masters. Bat America gradually
. has developed a musical culture of jits own. Amoricans
are a tuneful people, and it speaks nothing to thou- dis
advantage to record that the masses of them are fond
of light music. The majority of American preference
runs to group instrumentation. It runs to orchestras
and to bands. Symphony orchestras of horoic propor
tions and consummate artistry are maintained in many
cities; ' No' city or town is without its band.
The band, more than any other one element, has
popularized music. It, in greater decree than any other
agency has taken musio to the masses and taught thorn
to love it. A good band is a great assot to any town or
city. Who in Anierioa is more famcnis or better beloved
than John Philip Sousat "
Music, besides giving pleasure to tho auditor, is an
uplifting influence, Musio out of doors at this season
of the year is particularly fino. Wo are about to have
Bome of it in Eugene in tho series of concerts to be giv
en by the Odd Fellows band and mado' possible by the
public-spirited support of Eugene people. . Go and hear
tho .??Toerts. They will be worth while.

American City, Taxes Grow.
cost of city government is going up in the
United States. The last census showed a heavy propor
tionate inorease in city over urban population. Now
comes the federal department of commerce with a bul
letin showing that in the ten years from 1912 to 1922
receipts from taxes to meet tho expenses of local govern
ment in 2,787 urban centers of population incrensed 80
per cent while the population in those centers showed
only a 29 per cent increase. v
An interesting discussion of this bulletin on the
growth of city taxes is published in the July number of
tho American Uity Magazine. It is accompanied by a
map which shows tho varying degrees in which citv
taxes have increased in tho various states during the
poriod covered. Oregon, in common with the other Pa
cific coast states, shows up white, indicating that city
taxes nave shown no increase m tins state as a whole
This is something for tho Orogon taxpayer to take com
fort about. Probably the average Oregon taxpayer has
been unaware or Ins good tortune m this regard. And
prob,ahly he wishes skeptically that tho department of
commerce Duuotin ana tiie i i 'gnzine article would niako
a detailed showing of tho facts on which they are based.
SHo sue II detailed snownnr is made.
Besides the throe Pacific coast states, Montana, Utah
and six central western states show white in the com
parison offered. In all other states but these city taxes
have increased. In Maine, Massachusetts, New York,
.New Jersey and JNortli Carolina they have grown more
than 100 per cent. In eleven states they have inoreascd
between 75 and 100 per cent, in five states betweon 50

Demand by city dwellers for increased servico and
improvements, tho growth of the cities themselves, the

are assigned causes for tho showing made. This loaves

NATIONAL HOARDING
(I.ongvlew Dally Ncwb)
One of the grotesque revelations of
the week has been the announcement
that a total of more thnn $400,000,000
Is hoarded away In America outBide
ot banks. Stockings, cupboards, old
jars, mattress crannies and other
hidden places are believed to be the
receptacles of this surprisingly Urge
sum.
Joseph 8. McCoy in the American
Bankers' Association Journal makes
the assertion. His estimate Is that
$44,000,000 of this la deliberately
kept out of financial Institutions that
8000 misers might look at, fondle and
glont over their tressure. Children's
banks account for $1,500,000, while
about half, the remainder Is hoarded
by the foreign-born and the farmers.
It is almost inconceivable that so
much money should be secreted and
kept out qf hanking institutions. It la
easily understood, of course, that even
more millions are kept out of banks
for the transaction of business, but
that $400,000,000 aside from this is
being withheld' from hanks Indicates
that a heap of education Is still necessity.
JtOADS AND NEIGHBORS
It used to be that a neighborhood
was about the site of a country school
district, and in the city just a little
bigger than two sides of one block.
Now a neighborhood does not have
bounds. The good roads and the auto
mobiles have enlarged our horisnn to
such an extent that we think, nothing

of picking up and running tne to fifty
miles to visit a neighbor.
Theso good roads and automo
biles have done a lot for tho friend

FARM SITUATION BETTER
(Lebanon Express) v
i It's no easy matter to attempt to
tell a farmer that the average condi
tion of the American farmer has im
proved ten per cent during the past
year.
But Hint's what the department of
agriculture Is doing, and If It succeeds
in making some f armors believe thnt
their business is. on the up grade, it
will he better for them and the coun
try as well.
llevisetl estimates, the department
sn.vs, shows thnt the 1023 crops hnd
a total value of about ten billions of
dollars, an Increase of more than a
billion in olio year.
Total value o. exports of principal
agricultural products from I'nited
States for right months ended Feb
ruary it), llli'-l. was $1,308,338,000
as compared with $l,'.'33,iltl,000 for
the same period during the preced
ing year, nn Increase of fl per cent.
In a recent statement the Depart
ment of Agriculture says: "Tho gen
eral agricultural outlook for 1024 in
dicates thnt fnrmers are undertaking
a normal production program. It is
apparent, however, that agricultural
production this year will still be at
tended by difficulties arising from
high wages and other costs.
"Domestic demand tor agricultural
products is it a high level. Foreign
markets on the whole, seem likelv to
msintain about the present level of
demand. i
Business Firms to

latter concern will move to quarters

The Smith Cycle company, of which
Ynle Smith is proprietor, will later
