Extra! Extra! 'Nother Coolie Killed in China
FRIDAY, JUNE 1!).
Clear and Concise.
IX his very clear and eonciHO setting forth of the status
and history of the cnrsiliops and terminal project be
fore the members meeting at the chamber of commerce
yesterday, Mr. Y. W. Calkins, chairman of the cham
ber's railroad committee, made it plain that:
There is a definite understanding between responsi
ble officials of the Southern Pacific company and his
committee that the tiroicct will ho located here it the
land which has been selected as the site shall bo turned
over to the company in exchange for its land at Spring
field '
There is no element of real estate speculation or
hone of profit by anybody whatsoever who is connected
with the promotion of the project for Eugene, either
directly as rcirards the lands to be purchased or indi
rectly as regards contiguous lands
Talk of n menace of damage or discomfort to Eu
gene from the smoke of the proposed plant is fanciful
and baseless.
In these points from Mr. Calkins' address there is
summed up a complete answer to all that was advanced
by Springfield as constituting reasons why, from n
Eugene standpoint, the project should not bo carried
through.
The Springfield contention that' the Eugene effort
represents an attempt to "steal" from Springfield some
thing that belongs by right to that town also was com
pletely answered. Mr. Calkins pointed out that the
Springfield project had lain dormant a dozen years when
the Eugene effort was initiated; that Eugene first
sought consolidation of the two cities at the beginning
of its effort, as a means to protect harmoniously the in
terests of both; that Springfield did not receive this plan
with favor, and that Eugene then did what it could to
, protect its own vital interests, by preventing, if possible,
the 'removal of tho industry representing its biggest
payroll.
The Springfield people said last week that the Eu
gene statement concerning negotiations between this city
and tho Southern Pacific company was misleading; that
there had, in fact, been no change in the status of the
Southern Pacific's plans. Eugene thinks the Springfield
statement is incorrect, but if it is correct, then Spring
field has nothing to worry about, and if Springfield
finally wins in tho competition for the prize, Eugene will
bo tho first to congratulnto her. Meanwhile wo ought
neither to get mad at each other, call names or make
accusations of bad faith. First of nil. let's, be good
neighbors.
An Ex-Senator Warns us.
EX-SEXATOK mark well the ox James Hamilton
Lewis finds things in America all to tho chow-chow,
both as regards politics and civil lile. "ao pqlitical
party stands for any principle of liberty of man or jus
tico of government," declaims ex-Senator Lewis, in an
interview. "Only place and profit are tho object ol can
didates for office." This latter discovery seems to have
been reached by the pink-whiskered statesman since he
found running for office futile and quit it, just like the
offico boy resigned after ho had been fired.
"Violation of law, from booze banditry to man mur
der, is tho sport of tho hour," continued tho ex-Sonalor
sadly. "This era of today in America has its counter
part in the era at Koine just before it fell to chaos and
destruction, and in Kussia just before it yielded to
revolution and anarchy."
?nck in tho days when ex-Senator Lewis, then a
budding politician on his own account, represented the
Seattlo district of Washington in tho lower houso of
congress and introduced the wearing of fawn-colored
spats there, things were never thus. And even after
tho statesman removed to Chicago and tho grateful
stato of Illinois manifested its appreciation by sending
him to tho senate, tilings looked all right. In fact they
looked all right entirely through tho period of tho sen
ator's service at 'Washington. Rut thero tamo n day
when tho ungrateful voters failed to rally around James
Hamilton Lewis. There came a day when they declined
to send him back to "Washington any more. Sinco that
day things havo been getting blacker and blacker for
the United States of America and its people. Tho ex
senator discerns the signs plainly. "Men," ho says
sadly, "no longer respect the lessons of history or give
regard to tho personal rights of citizens." And, be
warns us, there was Koine. It fell.

Ex-Commissioner Writes
On Tax Question
Emmett Sharp Holds Judge
Barnard In Error
COTTAGE GROVE, Ore., June 18.
(To the Editor) In a recent issue
of The Guard 1 noticed an article pub
lished by Mr. Barnard with regard to
Lane county's outstanding warrants
in which he claims that the county in
debtedness has gradually decreased
since January, lUliO, when the regis-,
tercd county warrants totaled $S1,-;
5KS.K9. I wish to correct this Btate-!
ment, as it is misleading.
The facts are as the county records
will show kept by the county treasur
er that on January 1, lii'2D, the county
registered warrants were $81,51)8.0!)
and in the following yea the county
indebtedness had increased from $81,
000 to $100,013.54. The next year
lil'J- caused by the protest of the
honks, as county warrants were not
very desirable there, was a Blight de
crease to $i5,oU3.05. These two years
were under the management of Mr.
liarnard and Mr. Harlow, Then MT.
Honey took his sent as county com
missioner and the first year, 1023, we
reduced the outHtamling warrant in
debtedness to $tiLlHJ0.55 and up to
May, 101M, we hod reduced to $30,000
with enough money in the last half of
the taxes to put the county on a cash
basis, thereby saving the taxpayers
the 0 per cent interest paid oh war
rants, but instead of paying up we find
at the end of the year illlM the county
warrant indebtedness had increased to
$41,577.05.
lMiring our term we paid off many
debts contracted by the old court. Wo
also mode a gcnerol order to the sher
iff authorizing him to sell oil delin
quent property the money derived
therefrom should be applied to out
standing warrant indebtedness. I no
tice the sheriff has recently turned
over $52,000 of delinquent tax money
coupled with tho $25,000 timber cruise
money which they claim they used to
pny off outstanding warrants and the
$40,000 btnceted for retiring war
rants. It seems to me that the county
should be at least out of debt. If Mr.
Harnnrd had said the taxes of l.nne
county steadily increased until the

year 1023, or until Mr. Roney was
seated with me, and then taxes de
creased he would have told the truth.
At that time Mr. Barnard was loud in
his explanation that state taxes were
lower; hence the decrease. The state
taxes are lower than in 11)24, so why
the increase.

In New York I
. By JAMES W. DEAN
VEW YORK, Juno 19. Although
.Staten Island is within the cor
porate limits of New York city it is
very similar to any other part of the
municipality.
There are dinky one-man trolleys
which weave up and down crooked
little streets that enmesh the hills
There are open fields and great esT
tates and many tumble-down houses
'.hi ilt decades ago.
And the people of the island are the
leisurely sort, never having' been in
fected with the rush matinees of the
subway crowd. There exists com
munity life such as you'll find in any
small town. Father and mother and
the kids all go to the movies to
gether. On a warm evening they leave
their hatg'at home and in the lobbies
at the theaters you hear them in mer
ry greeting with neighbors.
They borrow lawn mowers and cup
of sugar and attend each other in ill
ness. They have Sunday school pic
nics. And a band concert in the public
square.
Perhaps' all of that will not sotinl
unusual to many who read this, but
it is unusual to anyone who lives in
another section of New York where
one could lie sick and die without
the next door neighbor knowing oi
the predicament, or knowing, care
much about it.
Rare legs, I believed, would only b.
a foncy among women of the stage or
others seeking publicity. However,
within the past two days I have seen
four stockingless women in the ui
ways and today a rather dignified ma
tron who lives in my neighborhool
appeared on the street sans stock
ings.
New York is the meeca of tho am
bitious youth of America. Here is of
fered opportunity for gaining know
ledge In all fields of human endeavor
and each year a host of young men
and women come here to take ad
vantage of that opportunity. Ien

One of the marvel of New York,
both to visitors and residents, is tho
uncanny skill of toxi drivers in heavy
traffic. They aeein to have nerves of
steel, dodging in and out among heavy
t rucks and big cars, often steppin;;
on the gas to pass another car with
only an inch leeway. Their ?ki!l i:

That question may seem a little far fetched to he asked now,
so many years in advance. Yet before you are aware of It
you will be face to face with the problem of paying lab
fees, student body fees and tho hundred and one little bills
that make a University education so ixpci's.w.
There is one plan. If unfllnchtnply adhered to, that will
remove any element of uncertainty over this matter: open
a "college fund" for your son or daughter and add to It
