Eugene's Growing Pains.
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

Religious Heresy and Political.

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.

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. -

The following Items aro exempt

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.
All government bond interest ia free

the exemption allowed by law. The
