The Bond
THE upeeinl city bond election is tomorrow. The
vnrioiiB prooFiils to Ito placed before the votora
linvtVbeen rather thoroughly explained nnd difiCURHed
publicly within tho past two weeks. It is likely thnt
most people have mndo up their minds how they will
vote. Nevertheless, it is well onee, more to set out some
facts regardinf? the measures nnd the views which have
teen readied through a following oi ineir uihcumu
in an us puases.
Three measures to be on the ballot aro for the pro
motion and safetniardinsr of tho public health and
safety. H seems to this
therefore, that these threo shall bo earned, lhey are
these:
.Lower MoKonzio water project - $.'7.r),0()0
Water reservoir and mains - - - l.'!5,(K)()
Sewer reconstruction ..... 50,000
'JVo other proposals on tho ballot aro designed to
finance projects that are urgently demanded by public
necessity and convenience. Those are:
Paving street intersections - - - $50,000
To pay for fire apparatus .... 25,000
Two proposals represent projects which are de
sirable but as to the present necessity or advisability
of which thoro may well bo differences of opinion.
Upon them wo offer no advice.. Thoy are:
Enlarging firo department station - $ 1 0,000
" raving street to Odd Fellows cemetery 11,000
There is a proposal for a bond issuo of $2.r,000
for a municipal garbage incinerator. Thero has been
)io adequate investigation by Eugene city officials of
tho subject of garbago disposal. There should bo such
an investigation before (hero is a bond issue. If the
present proposnl is carried without being preceded by
each an investigation tho city will bo embarking upon
an experiment which may or may not turn out well
and which may conceivably prove costly.
' Thero ought to bo a full expression by tho voters
tomorrow of their choico on tho various measures. The
decision as to tho questions involved ought to bo clear
cut and conclusive. . Jt will bo tho part of good citizen
ship to voto.
The City Planning Commission. 1
IF BACKED by tho full power of public sentiment
and approved, tho city planning commission, for whose
creation tho city council has just made provision, can
accomplish a valuable work. But publio bricking is
essential to success for such an organization. It ought
to bo forthcoming hero.
In other cities where city planning commissions
have been organized ami have operated, tho truth of
tho foregoing observation has often been demonstrated.
A city planning commission has no legal authority. Jt
can only act in an advisory capacity. Tn cases where
its purposes aro not fully understood or thero is lack
of sympathy with them, Uio commission's activities
have aroused resentment on tho part of individuals
whoso property or other interests wero affected by its
rulings. It has sometimes happened, too, that after
a planning commission lias spent mouths in earnest
working out of ambitious plans for city betterments,
the plans linvo merely been filed or laid aside, because
authority was lacking to give them effect.
Tho remedy for such conditions as these is an
aroused publio sentiment. If the people of Eugeno or
any city are generally determined to make their city
beautiful and orderly through rational and consistent
planning and zoning, then their planning .commission
will get the backing that it requires in order to make
its work effective. TlAit is tho sort of backing that
our proposed now city planning commission hero will
nerd.
A subscriber asks Tho Guard to explain in con
nection with tomorrow's bond election, (he status of
the $500,000 municipal auditorium bond issuo, voted
by tho people of Eugene Inst summer. The auditorium
bond issuo was attacked in court proceedings by
Mr. W. T. Campbell, a taxpayer, on tlio ground of in
validity. Tho case was appealed to the supreme court
and is pending there. If the bonds are upheld the
amount which llivv represent will be added to the
city's bonded indebtedness.

The bus and truck interests have
no expectation that the people will

over the outlook for early develop
ment of commercial aviation in the
United Statea.
Keys had been one of those who be
lieved aerial express and passenger
service commercially feasible. Some
months ago, however, be bad a careful
survey made of just what might be
expected in tbe way of patronage aod
revenue from an air passenger -express
business and what the cost
would be. The report caused him to
give up any idea of investing tin such
an enterprise at present.
Before commercial airplane lines
can be established, Keys believes, a
period of public co-operation and as
sistance, sisiilar to that originally
given railroads, etc., will be necessary.
"landing fields, suitable for the
landing of heavily loaded ships, must
bo provided at comparatively short in
tervals," be says. "That is something
that must be done by municipalities, in
(he same way that roods and highways
havo been developed by municipalities
fur vehicle traffic. '
"Then there are certain things the
nationnl government should suppiy,
just as the government supplies light
houses and chanuels for ships, in tbe
interest cf commerce.
"At present, the cost of transpor
tation by air is from 10 fa J3 times
the cost of present established means
of carrying the same articles. The
present service is sufficiently satisfac
tory to make it difficult to induce
people to change. Such change, when
it comes, will Ixs by slow degreei
by evulutloo. Ju my judgment, nit
transportation at tiie present time is
a government function or none at all."

Rowcll's Comment 1
By CHKSTER II. HOWELL
JODEHN pyycho-analytlc jargon
has reached the assault and bat
tery stage. A California school board
candidate accused bis opponent of
"inferiority complex" and "incipient
paranoia." In other words, he was
a boob and a nut.
Whereupon, bellicose manifestations
ensued, with consentient traumatic
contusions. In other words, they
mixed it, nnd one of them got bumped
on the beexer.
Which is these lauguages is Eng
lish? Neither the highbrowese nor the
lowbrowese is standard style.
One is above aud the other below
tbe level. Aud yet we all tend to use
one or the other. In our specialties,
we use technical vocabularies; in con
versation, we fall into slang.
In ancient Latin, similar tendencies
finally developed different languages.
The language of books and of the
people became mutually unintelli
gible, until one of them froze into
Monk-litiii. and the other fuaed into'
French, Spanish, Italian and their
variants.
If the same thing does not happen
to English, we may owe it to the
newspapers and tbe radio. Newspaper
reporters write "print English," but
they bave to write it so as to be "un
dctslanded of the people."
ltadio announcers are not yet all '
literate, and what some of them speak 1
is scarcely English, but as tbey and
their broadcasters become an Institu- i
lion, they will have to learn to speak j
st least nn well as reporters write. '

About Water Bonds
EUGENE, April 1L (To the Edi
tor). With your permission I would
like to say a few things concerning
the proposition to mortgage our
homes for $375,000 to bring McK en
lie water to Eugene.
Jt is a fact, constantly proven by
tests, that our present water ia per
fectly aafis made so by filtration.
Both Mr. Kireaell, superintendent of
our filtering plant, and Mr. McArthur,
an engineer employed by our water
board said when consulted that tbe
Willamette liver water is made safe
and pure by the present method of
filtering.
, I was also informed by these gen
tlemen that the operation of the fil
ter system is such that the failure
of an operator to do bis work can not
allow unfiltered water to reach the
water mains of the city. If ua op
erator goes? to sleep or in any way
neglects bis job. the filters will in time
choke down and fail to pass any water
at all.
Toe overflow in case of neglect is
diverted back to the river. It is n-t
possible to get unfiltered water to the
water mains.
Had we not better be satisfied, for
a time at least, with our present
water, and avoid this hideous monster,
"debt?" -
Propoganda contrary to these
facts has been passed to you people
intended evidently to frighten you
into voting for the bonds.
The water being sife as stated bad
we not better wait on account of tue
cost?
Many of tbe cities in the esnt and
middle west would consider tbe Wil
lamette a good water supply as com
pared with theirs.
Very few of our people know how
efficient our filter system is. On a
recent visit to the plant I was in
formed by Mr. McArthur that the
filter plant has never failed to do its
work in all the years since its con
struction. Not a siftgle case of ty
phoid has ever been traced to the uue
of our city water since the plant wai
installed.
Let us not be too free lo' borrow
money or plunge into debt if we would
keep our fair city prosperous.
Their estimated plan to take care
of tbia enormous debt by raising the
water rates, is based on our town
continuing to grow about 18 times as
fast as it has from its beginning. Isn't
this even worse than counting chic
kens before tbey are hatched?
