AMONG tlio bond proposals to bo placed before the voters of Eugenes at the coming April election is an item of $25,000 for establishment of n municipal garbage incinerator. Jt offers one intended means to the solution of ti. problem than which none other is more in need of being solved here. Eugene has grown too large to go on 'dumping its garbage out of doors in a manner more or less haphazard. The system or lack of eystcm now in voguo will before long raise a menace against the public health. Already it consti tutes a definite nuisance. A proper incinerator of the scope contemplated under tho proposed bond issue would take care of this city's animal and vegetable refuse for a consider able period of years to come. There would still remain the problem of collection and hauling of garbage to the incinerator and the further problem of inorganic refuse disposal, if tho first named of these two were provided for, the one hist named would become reduced to tho. finding of a suitablo dumping ground, with pro vision that the dumping bo done in an orderly manner, eo as to make a proper permanent fill. ' As an alternative to the establishment of a mu nicipal incinerator there is a proposal by a private company to finance and erect its own incinerator. The condition to this is that all "householders and business places bo required by ordinance to pay the company for collecting their garbage and hauling it to the incinerator. This alternative offers the distinct ad vantage of relieving the city from the expense of collec tion or disposal of garbage. Its offsetting disadvantage is that many residents would undoubtedly object to being compelled to pay for having their garbage re moved from their premises. To tho proposal for the city to set up its own incinerator thero is another practical alternative. This in the establishment o a sanitary fill. This system lias been successfully operated in Portland for disposal of part of its garbage in recent years. Its initial re quirement is that a dumping ground be fouiid whose natural lio is such as to lend ifself to the purpose. Its second is that the fill bo made and covered scien tifically along established lines which. have been proved elsewhero to be efficient. An advantage of this system is that it takes, care of both organic and inorganic refuse. In Portland the sito for a public playground was filled in this way. A woman' was heard to remark a few days ago that she would vote against the incinerator bonds, because she understood1 that if the bond issuo failed an incinerator would be established anyway by private enterprise. It might, but it would all depend upon tho solution of the tiroblem of universal garbage col lection as set forth above. Thero should bo no mis understanding on this point. Between now and tho date of tho coining bond election thero might bo complete investigation by a comniitteo of councilmen, or one specially named, of various methods of garbage disposal in neighboring cities. A part of this work could bo dono by corres pondence. Visits could bo made by tho committee to near-by cities and first-hand observations taken. Tho public could then bo informed of tho committee's findings and recommendations. It Hoems that this would bo a thing well worth while to do. Our garbage problem is pressing for disposition. City officials and tho public alike want it to have the. best disposition practicable. This suggestion points a way. Thero is no better reason for censoring motion pictures than for, censoring spoken plays and news papers and magazines and books. Thero' is ample law already to punish indecency in any of these. In passing a bill for motion picture censorship tho lower house of tho Oregon legislature has merely voted to inflict nnotJipr use ess commission on the state, besides ereat inrr a notential cauSo of constant strife. It is to be hoped tho senate will show better judgment. It doesn't require, a movie scenario writer to put romance in a logging camp. It flowers there naturally. Witness tho statement ot William iiini-Kmirn, super intendent of a camp near Monroe, who cites that six loggers thero have married girls who had como to the camp to cook. And the last part of his account is the best. "They stay married," he declared. A bill has passed the senate 'o take enforcement of the law against unprivileged sale of narcotics away from the state prohibition commissioner and place it in the hands of the state board of pharmacy. One wonders what argument can be brought in favor of such a change. There is too much division already of the law enforcing power. There were no saloons, so whenever young Mr. Buchtel, of Portland, jot to thinking about his do mestic troubles he just had to go out and assuage bis grief by burning down a building or two. This we gather from his own confessions to Hie police as the dispatches quote them. Here's a real harbinger of the out-of-doors season: Nelson Macduff is already talking about forest fire prevention. j , A crying need of the day is an automobile horn that will sound more like "Please" and less like "Beat it." uuvimn all taxes nave thune upon land.

Next resident ( oolidgo, it he- comes evident tbnt Brigadier enerol Herbert M. Lord will be the real power at the head of th executive branch of government in Washington during the punning four years, namim ing that be continues as budget di rector. Subject to presidential approval, his authority will be nothing short of dictorial. Ho has served notion that he intends to exercise it up to the limit. Theoretically each cabinet member will remain supreme in bin own de partment hut practically tho budget dirnrUr will be chief of all of them. That ia to say, bo will fi. the amount of money each department may have on which to run. This con trol. In effect, is nbsolute. Jf the director disapproves any de partmental policy,' all he has to do Ib to cut off the fundi necesnury to curry it out. ; Tho president alone can veto such cuts, and inasmuch as be in keeping (ienerul Lord in office especially tn make them, it is a foregone conclu sion that this veto power will he ex ercised by him very infrequently or not at nil. The recent gathering nt which President Coolidgn sounder) the econ omy keynote of bis 105-0 adminis tration was known euphoniously as a meeting between himself and the "executive- and administrative employes of tho government." Lord Gives Warning In reality it was an assemblage of the cabinet members, called together by the government's bead to bear what is expected of them, and to learn that the only alternative to rea lising such expectations is to quit. It was significant that the presi dent delegated to (ieneral Lord thr duly of putting the actual warning into words. Among department heads there ban been some inclination hitherto to complain lo the chief executive of the financial restrictions placed (tu them by his budget manager. "Cheese par ing," the latter's methods were called. The complainants ceceived their an swer collectively. Not only was it a rejection. It wa A rejection with a punch behind it. "Wo have superfluous employes. It Is unpleasant and difficult to separ ate people from federal service. But it can be done. It will bo done." That, from the president, was the rejection. Economize or Quit Put suppose the complainants hig men in cabinet posts weren't pre pared to abide by it V In that case. General Herbert M. Lord they were to find out in short order what they could do. General Lord conveyed the infor mation with brevity and force "Economize or enlist under anoth er banner." Thatis how he put it. The presi dent won't oven bo argued with. What's more, tho pressure for economy will increase. Tho president expects reductions during the current year, further reductions during the following year and still more nud more 'eductions after that. Economy is going to be his central, vital policy as long as he is in office. He takes it for granted that those who ore out of sympathy wita it will not core to be associated with him und certainly he doesn't want thorn associated with him. Nobody imagines thar congress is going to like the presidential pro gram, for it means luss of patronage but politicians ugrec that it is a policy it will be mighty hard to oppose.
