A NEWSPAPER IS A CITIZEN OF ITS COMMUNITY REDUCING WARRANT DEBTS rpHE city council hu voted to submit to th voters of Enjne within the next 60 days request for a apodal lory, beyond the six per cent limits, sufficient to provide f2IS.O00 a year for tlve years to reduce the clty'i warrant debt The city's warrant debt problem li very much like that of the school board, only worae If poaalble. The city In the last five years has paid out $126,839.74 for Interest on warrant debt, all of It money that ' could have been saved for operating purposes had the city been more nearly on a cash basis. The city, Ilka the schools, Is seldom in the position of having cash In the back to meet any bill. For operating pur poses, It has on the average about $180,000 In six per oent warrants outstanding. In addition. It is compelled to issue a great many more warrants to take care of Interest on Bancroft bonds because assessment payments by benefited property never keep pace with the bond requirements, despite all the pressure) that can be brought to compel such payments. This Is a most vicious situation because it is a compounding of Interest the Issuance of six per cent warrants to pay six par oent Interest on bonds. . ' . All told, the outstanding warrants have reached the alarming total of $380,000, and the city has an annual shortage of about $18,000 between the Interest charges on them and the revenues available to meet them. The city has to cut deeply Into Its operating funds to make up these differences. In 1925, ft similar situation was cleared off with a large bond issue, but this Is a method of relieving the situation which should never be repeated because It Is only an additional compounding of charges. , With the distinct understanding that the $25,000 annual lev will be consecrated to warrant debt retirement only, the measure will have the support of this paper. It Is only one step toward ' bringing the finances of the city to a basis that will make 'possible really economical and efficient operations.. As we have said many times, the danger Is not In giving public officials ample cash for operations. Cash accounting is easily compelled. It Is unlimited borrowing that Is the hasard and that always piles up taxes eventually, SHIFT THE BUSSES? - "DCS transportation direct to the new Public Market would be -L highly desirable from the point of view of tha publlo as .well, as the market people, but unless it could bs arranged without ' serious Inconvenience or injury to other business in terests, It should not. be attempted, because it Is not vital to the market and because the benefits might be more than offset y 0bss of good will. The market in its new location is still in approximately tha same relation to bus lines as at the old location in the park. In addition, it has exceptional parking facilities. But its greatest assets are in the real VALUES it offers and in the community's unanimous good will. For this reason the suggestion that the Bighth avenue line be shifted from its present turning point at Eighth and Wil lamette to loop past the market and through West Broadway seems to be a bit ill-advised, though those who oppose the change should reoognlse that the suggestion is not made in any demanding tone, but in a purely tentative way, seeking rather to find out what might be done. The change as suggested would not be good because it would disturb one of the oldest local terminals in Eugene and would be very disturbing to north end business people who are Investing large sums In building and rebuilding programs' and doing their bit to stabilise values in the town, Eugene now has tour bus lines. The city Is growing and tha time Is not tar distant when it may need more. The present combination of the Eighth avenue line with the Eleventh avenue line may soon be broken into two lines. Or It might be found feasible In the near future to make a straight cross-town line. But before any re-routing Is undertaken, the situation should be ajudled as a whole, with all sides sitting in on a friendly "give and take" discussion. The Southern Pacific shows a very fair attitude when It says it will try to give whatever service the people want and need, but will await public agreement before' it makes any changes. A TRUE PATRIOT TpBAR ADMIRAL HILARY P. JONES, TJ. S. N., retired, stands " revealed today as one of the finest patriots a country could wish. It was Admiral Jones who put President Hoover on the track of Lobbyist Shearer, who took pay for his activities in foment lng International discord and sowing the seeds of war. At Geneva, in 1927, was Admiral Jones, a member of the United States delegation. He was a navy man, and as such might have been expected to welcome any action that put ob stacles In the path of reducing the American navy. Yet what he saw of Shearer's activities at Geneva so disgusted and en raged him that he ulUmately got word of It to President Hoover. Some naval leaders can see only the navy's needs, and wel come any development that means added strength for that branch of the service. But Jones was different. He could see beyond the navy's needs and visualise the needs of the country as a whole. In the true sense of the word he was a patriot. His name Is worth remembering. - Sneaking of this dark hint that thn-ty-mlnute parking talk Is all a plot by our Eugene police to make jobs for more police men, It would seem to us more like a plan that would JUBt make a lot more hard work for policemen. AJax McGurk says that conspiracy or no conspiracy, It might be a good Idea at that because at the rsle the conspirators are dragging In the overtime psrkers on the hour limit, they could soon pay off the city debt. If the wider field were given them. But you've got to discount what Ajax says, because ty yesterday be arrived Just In time to keep a couple of tha cm sH"rs frees suwkliHi up his saachlns.

We grew so accustomed to besrkig of successful exploits by our -sheriff that the news became comeionplace. It waa so customary for him to go to the right place at the right time in the right way sod bring back his man tbat people grew to take It all as a matter of courwi. Arisons once had s sheriff with some of the characteristics of Til Tajlor. His name was "Bucky" O'Neill and he was a gentleman as well aa a brave officer. Hie one fault, like the fault of our local man, was that he took too many chances. He wss killed at San .luan Hill where he was cnnteln of Troop "A" of the Rough Riders. At Preseott there Is a bronse statue of that former sheriff and it Is said that men's eyes light up when they tell the story of the man in whose honor it was msde. - In a similar way or In aoroe other way the memory of Til Taylor should be commemorated. He gave this county all he had and died in the performance of his duty. No man could have done more. The foregoing editorial which ap- Sesred in the East Oregonisn on londay, July 28, a920, was written on the evening of the day Til Tay lor was killed. Needless to say the sentiments expressed at that time still stand. With those who knew him the memory of Til Taylor will endure. He was s western sheriff of the mild mannered, un assuming type who secured results and made friends. Mr, Proctor has made a good sta tue showing horse and rider' in characteristic pose as they were often seen at the Round-Up. The task of the artist is to hold the mirror up to nature and the sculp tor has done so. The statue will slways be good because.good art is lasting. The more it is seen the better it Is-liked. When the statuo was being made in Brussels a not ed woman who saw it exclaimed: "That should be the statue of a king." It is. It is the statue of one who was a king among sher iffs though Til. Taylor would have been the last man to have claimed such honor. Khowlnr snoreclatlon for iood service rendered is s virtue, not a fault, and the busy people of Pen dleton and the Pacific northwest have made no mistake In providing this equestrian statue and the beau tiful little park foe a settle. For generttiona to come people will see that horseman and they will hear his story. If tht-y get it cor rectly it will be a (ale worth knowing. TODAY IS THE ANNIVERSARY ' OF . Irish Home Rule Riots QN Sept. 21, 1012, riots occurred v"' in Ireland as a result of the controversy about the third Home Rule Bill. .The - riots were occasioned by anti-home rule demonstrations in Ulster, where opposition to such s plan wss at a white heat. A measure called the govern ment of Ireland bill had been in troduced, providing for an Irish ' ptrllament consisting or a senate and, house of commons, empow ered to make laws for Ireland, but certain classes of legislation were removed from the Jurisdic tion. Legislation over which parlia ment had no control Including power regarding peace, war, treaties, army, navy, trade, navi gation, coast defenses, coinage, stamps, weights, copyright, re ligion and Freemasonry, The bill wss accepted by all" Nationalist Ireland In good faith as 'a fair measure of self-government, but the Ulstermen were vigorously opposed to the plsn. Sir Edward Carson, the Union ist leader, had a narrow escape from injury during the rioting at Londonderry, when a large stone was dropped from the city wall Into his open carriage, missing him by a few inches. Nationalists stoned torch bearers snd bands men during an anti-botne rule demonstration In Ulster. After much debating and further rioting, tho bill was passed and became a law in 1014, but Us operation was suspended at the boglnning of the World War.

In other words, a tachyphage Is a rapid eater and our country is full of them. We do sot have the exclusive right to the group, because they have appeared in France, where Dr. Paul Mlchon coined the word, and the London Lancet mentions their prominence in England.

LETTER By RODNET DDTOHER NBA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. The Hon. Claudius Hart Huston, the new head of the Republican national committee, makes all bis loug distance trips by air, attributes his good health to light eating and is likely to prove the smartest na tional chairman his party has had in a long time. He is distinctly a Hoover choirs and as far as your correspondent can gather hia mental proceases and abilities considerably resemble the president's. He la more amiable, however, and mixes more readily with all varieties of people, else be would not be fit for his new job. Hon. Claudius Hart Huston had much more to do with the nomina tion and perhaps the election of Hoover than he has commonly been credited with. For several years before tho Kansas City convention he had been leading politicians to the Hoover home and in those years Hoover needed nothing more than thoae acquaintanceships. He Found the Money It was Huston, one understands, who raised most of the money in the larger Hoover pre-convention campaign fund snd tils ability at thst game will be one of his prin cipal assets in the nstlonal chair manship. He is regarded as a prac tical politician. In the closet ef his hotel room at Kansas City Huston had a direct telephone line running to the Hoo ver home in Washington. Tha line wss often used and after the presidential nomination the saga cious Huston was hesrd to tell the candidate: "Keep out of the vlce nresidentlel contest. All your friends are In It." During the election campaign, he came to be regarded as the po litical godfather of Col. Horace A. Mann, the politician who bad more to do with breaking up the solid south thsn any other Republican through his aid nnd direction of the antl-hlmith Democrats, Huston mado himself. He was born In Harrison County, Indians, 54 years ago. attended a one-room rural school and becsrae a country school teacher. Working on a farm In summer, be picked up enough money to attend Valparaiso Uni versity and later worked with a rousln In Chsttanooga. Tenn., who bad started the Chattanooga Nor mal University.

The constant discomfort In his Interior gives him an anxious look. Sooner or later he begins to think he has hyperacidity or gastric ul cers and takes large quantities Of sodium bicarbonate or baking soda an hour or two after each meal. Most of his trouble is due to the fact tbat he eats too rapidly and because of his mental state has difficulty in digesting what he tats. The chief step in his cure is the establishment of regular hours for his meals, insistence on spending the full time in eating the meal and avoidance of ail business discus sions, telephone conversation or other anxieties during the meal.
