Eugene, as has been romarked heretofore in these columns, is suffering from growing pains. The short ago in needed firo department personnel and housing is one of the manifestations. ' There are others, and some of them were pointed out by Mayor Parks, speaking before tho Kiwanis yesterday. , - Eugene's population has practically doubled in the past ten- years, but its polico department personnel has not grown. In 1912 the assessed valuation of city property was $8,676,360. Now it is $16,113,550. In 1918 building permits were $62,816. Last year they were $2,734,705. These figures are startling. One not famil iar with tho record, can scarcely realize the extent of the city's recent growth. l . . , .. Tho direction taken by extension of municipal facil ities during tho past year has been that of street im provements more largely than any other. And further progress in this lino is provided for. But not less im portant are several other needs. These include an en larged firo department personnel and housing, an en larged police .force, a system for new and increased water supply, replacement of sewers and a system of garbage disposal. Need for them all is imperative. , If the bond issues which are to bo placed .before the pcoplo soon are voted, these things will thus bo pro vided for. , They will havo to bo provided for in this way or some other, because tho city's growth ,i? some thing that will go on and increase rather than diminish. The Mounting Cost of Government Fifteen per cent of all tho wealth produced in the United Stales last year went to pay the cost of govern ment, according to a writer in tho Dearborn Independent. Taxes on city homes now amount to as much as was paid for renting similar ones a few years ago. And the cost of government mounts. Responsibility is with the people It is useless to try to blanio the office-holding class. Whenever public sentimont shall demand economy to the point of insis tence, there will bo economy. To bo suro officials will spend all that is given them to spend. They will go on sponding until they hoar sustained protest against spending. Thon they will Btop it. The greater part of the burden of state and nfunici pal taxes in Oregon is of popular creation. It repre sents appropriations made by direct vote of the people. And everybody knows how legislative appropriations are traded. Peonlo and legislators who represent ono class will consent to an appropriation for another class in order to get support for similar favor to themselvos. Desire for spocial favor outweighs consideration for gen eral economy. We havo a president now who is a genuine advocate of economy. His precepts and example undoubtedly will have an effect upon thd national tendencies. .. But he cannot stop tho cvcr-moiinting cost of government. - Tho only thing that can do that is determination by the people themselves that it must bo stopped. And so far no such determination is manifest. In Carlton two city councilmcn aro recalled. In Ashland relations between tho mayor and the city council aro strained, owing to differences isoncerning appointive offices, and a similar condition prevails at Kelso, Wash. In each of the three places the community is torn with dissensions among partisans ot the contending tactions. Happy is the city whoso officials tonm together. In the sunny places, tho first daffodils bloom. Pussv willows have reached tho fuzzy stago. Soon there will bo spring beuuties and trilliums and bUtteroups.vAftcr that things out of doors will unfold with a rush.

Thero is such a thing as too much government, and all government is expensive. Religious Heresy and Political. (Sheridan Hun) The heresy trial of bishop Brown of the Episcopal church, resulting in the expulsion ot that "divine," comes in for wrathy denunciation by the Corvallis (Jaiette Times, which ap pears always fearful the world Is in for a "throw back." The materialistic attitude of our contemporary ia at intolerant as it would make out the spiritualistic attitude ot those it op poses to bo. liev. Brown, the Gazette Times avers, should bt permitted to continue in the church and propound to and confound bis hearers with doc trines contrary to tbe "ching-s if the church, let tbe Gazette Times condemns vigorously the right and justice of politicians holding "pro gressive" tenets, to masquerade un der the cloak of the republican party because those tenets are opposed to the policies ot tbe party. Nor did it deny the right 'of the republican sen ators to expel LaFolletle, et al. That was action taken only because l.a Follotte and his followers were poli tical heretics. Plainly political expe diency to preserve party discipline. Certainly the Episcopal church has the same Tight. 25 Years Ago j tirum the Uuuid, nemuury U, Mjui lieorge Jb'.

WETS PLEASED; DRYS DISMAYED Edwards RurnS Scandal Hs Paradoxical Effect In Congress, Where New Jersey Senator Leads Liquor Bloc By CHARLES P. STEWART (NEA Service Writer) YMSHINGTON, Feb. 3 rarsdoxi- cal as it may seem, the wets in Congress are elated aud th drys dis mayed by tho characterization as a bootlegger of Senator Edward I. Ed wards, leader of the Senate wet bloc. Nevertheless that's the situation. After all, the explanation's simple. The wets have been trying for two or three years to tear the. subject of prohibition open in a sensational way to emphasize their contention that the country remains as wet as ever, though voted dry. . Again and again they have ' made charges ugninst drys more or less like the churge now made against Seuutor Kdwards. TIiuh they hoped to get an investi gation started, with a lot of accom panying talk. Wets (o Minority And each time the drys have an swered "Jluko all the charges you like. We don't ask to bp Investigated. Vindication means nothing in pur young lives." .. - The wets would have forced inves tigations If they could hut, being in a minority, they couldn't. If they could hove stung the drys to tho ex tent of getting them to demand an in vestigation to clear themselves, all would have been well, from a wet stBndpoint, but they never could. Now, however, a wet has been ac cused. He's been gravely accused, too. He was referred to, out and out, as a rum runner and the head of a bootlegging ring. He's a United States senator, at that. . Hard to Refuse Him When he demands an investigation, rr-and it's accepted as a foregone con clusion that he will it's going to be mighty hurd for the drys to refuse. It will look like a rank injustice if they do. "They have been trying to frame mo for years," Senator Edwards said, when news of the charge against him reached Washington. "That's why I'm so bitter ugiiinst the prohibition ists. They're always trying to fruine innocent men." Aro the drys going to deny him a chance to vindicate himself? It will he nighty difficult. If they dn give him a chance, where will the investi gation BtopY Nobody koows. The wets wouldn't be so well satis fied or the drys so uneasy if the for mer didn't feel pretty sure and the latter very much afraid that Senator Edwords will be able to make a suc cessful defeuse. - Your Income Tux This is the second of h series of articles explaining the income tax to the layman. It has been prepared in view of recent chang es iu the iucomc tux law. lly It. A. CUNKEJl (lux Consilium) rjAX ABLhi income means gross in come less allowable deductlous uud credits', tjross income means gums, protits und income tin what uvcr form paid) derived trom all sources including: Salaries, wages, commissions, fees and all compensation for personal or professional services; ' Trudcs, businesses, commerce and sales or dealings in property; Items, royalties, interest dividends uud the distributable shuro of earn ings lrom partnerships and fiduci aries, whether or not such earnings have been distributed. The following Items aro exempt from the tax and do not have to be included in gross income: 1, Proceeds of lite insurance poli cies paid upon tbe death of the in sured; 2. Amounts received by insured as u return of preipium upon life Insur ance, endowment or annuity con tracts; ( li.

Interest on obligations of a stale, fertility or any political subdi vision thereof, or the District of Co lumbia; on iccuiities issued under the federal loan act, and on all obligations of the I'nited States aud its posses sions. However, In the case of obli gations the I'nited States issued after Sept. 1, li'17 tother than postal ssv Injs certificates of deposit), the in terest therefrom niusi bi included in gross income if, by the terms of the seta, authorising the issue thereof such luierest is not wholly exempt from income lax. Thus in the case of interest received from Liberty Ltouds, an individual may hold an aggregate amount of f.",W0 of any of the H per cent or -tli per cent uud the in terest therefrom would be entirely exempt from the income tax but in terest from any amount in excels of this would be subject to the surtax.
