NOTHING ELSE TO DO
When a bond Issue Is I the 6f-
fins, taxpayers often hesitate about
, voting for?; it lest they lndrvae'tin-
duly the burden of taxation that
rests already upon their shoulders.
There are no such considerations
In the case of the refunding bond
, latue that SjtIU be on the ballot day
after tomorrow. :
The city warrants which it l
proposed to fund by means of
these bonds must be paid in any
event, but until they are paid they
will draw Interest at six per cent.
The bonds with which to fund them
can be floated at four and a half
per cent j The difference will rep
resent a savins of about (S00 per
month. It Is thus apparent that
Instead of Increasing taxes the re
funding bond Issue will lower them.
But the savins in Interest is not
all. If these floating warrants are
' not pald-r-or funded, as the finan
ciers say the value of city war
rants wiil depreciate because peo
ple will be chary about accepting
them. Instead of being worth 100
' cents on 'the dollar they will de
cline until they are worth perhaps
only SO cents on the dollar. The
time was In Eugene when city war
rants dropped that low in value
Then, as now, the budget had been
exceeded and a large warrant -debt
permitted to accumulate
If that .happens the city will be
able to buy only 80 cents worth for
every dollar it spends. s''Tne dif
ference, of course, will be repre
sented by; higher costs of. city gov
ernment and will be born by the
taxpayer.! So once aga(n It appears
that taxes will be Increased if the
refunding bond Issue falls.
It is too bad that this warrant
debt was permitted to accumulate,
for better management of the city's
affairs would have prevented it.
But all that is water over .the dam.
What had happened has happened,
and It Is a condition and ' not a
theory that confronts us.' The war
rants must be' paid in 'ariy-'ovent,
and If they are not converted Into
hnnrin At: a lower rate of interest.
the cost Jof paying them will be
much higher. - The only thing to
do is to vote "yes."

(To the Editor) We read so much
about the crime wave and tell of
different events of murder rob
beries and law breaking of every
kind, but does any one take time
to think of the good that is going
on? If people do, there is no es
timate made of if.
A short time ago a bunch of
high school boys from Cottage
Grove performed some pranks or
misdemeanor In Eugene. I had not
taken note of It until I read their
apology In the papor and was also
told by one of the school faculty
they had apologised In person
Now this was a splendid thing for
those young men to do and It took
courage for them to do it. - It was

I am acquainted with several
women who are raising children
not their own. I was won ao

NEWCOMER APPRAISES CITY
Woodpile and Au'n Camp Are
Held to Bo Unsightly
EUGENE. Ore., Dec 13. (To
the Editor) As a new comer who
has decided to locate In the beau
tiful city of Eugene I would like
space enough In you paper, just
to express some of the unsightly
things that mar the beauty of the
city. As It looks to a tourist or
new comer when he first comes
to our - city. They are made to
wonder why such things are al
lowed In the city. As the great
stacks of cord-wood plied high,
and in most places In residence
districts; where fine -now bulla-
lngs are going up.
Then another bad feature is the
rruto -camp that Is beingnllowed
right in tne city, we nau to won
der how the residents or r air-
mount (which Is building and
progressing so fast) can tolerate
it.
The municipal auto camp that
Ib being run by the city is cer
tainly a fine place, for It is clean,
well kept, and gives a lastingT-ood
Impression to the tourist.
I understand that a man wants
to establish a modern auto camp
there, now let me tell you that Is
certainly not the place for any.
kind of an auto camp, it mo city
council can just conceive what It
means for the future Kugene. Tne
Impression It gives to tourists and
strangers, they certainly would not
allow such to be established, right
In the fine residence district of
Falrmount.
One can readily see that Eu
gene is the coming city of the
Willamette valley. So why not
look at it as such.
A NEW COMER.
RESOLUTION IS DEFENDED
Mr. ' Aaby Explains Trrstj-ament
Signed by Lutheran Members
EUGENE, Ore.. Dec. 9. (To the
Editor)J In a report from a meet
ing held In the Trinity Lutheran
church of Eugene, according to the
Morning Register of December 1,
we read how certain parties, .mas
querading under church cover, at
tacked and vilified Mr. Edward
Kjensbeck, an esteemed member of
the Trinity Lutheran church, who
on account ot sickness was not ablo
to be present at the meeting Mon
day evening. November 30, which
was directed by Rev. J. A. E. Naess
of Tacoma. To thug attack an old,
vslckly and defenseless person ap-
pears so repugnant that ths fair
fname of the Trinity Lutheran
church Is at stake. An Investiga
tion ought to be made. It may be
found that charity is a cover and
brotherhood a cloak. i
Tho following quotation from
the secretary protem's Instruction
to all the signers Is a mlsrepresen
tatlon of actual facts. It reads
thus: "The article In question, it
was reported, pretended to be a
resolution of the congregation and
among other things, charged that
the brotherhood of Eugene and the
state with certain members of the
congregation of the church' were
carrying on Insidious propaganda,"
etc. The published resolution does
not state that the "brotherhood of
Eugene and the state, with certain
members of the congregation of
this church wore cnrrylng on 'Insid
ious propaganda'," but It only
states the following as? to this:
"We are sorry to Indicate that an
unfortunato and insidious propa
ganda has been going on for some
time within our beloved congrega
tion. This propganda hag for Its
purpose." etc. To construe a
charge on such a misrepresenta
tion and to demand nn apology
looks almost like a "neck break
ing" demand.
7f cortaln "brotherhood" parties
"of Eugene nnd the stnto nnd the
congregation" feel anxious. to In
dicate, in somo way,- to tho public
that they aro conducting nn "In
sidious propaganda" thov are sure
ly welcome to do so, If thoy so
choose, hut In this caso It is con
trary to the wording of tho reso
lution to chnrge that such a state
ment Is made In tho resolution.
It Is furthermore reported that
the article In question "pretends to
be a resolution or the congrcga
Hon," which chargo Is also con
trary to the wording of the res
olution which reads thus as to this
"We the undersigned members of
the Trinity Lutheran church ot Eu
gene," etc. To report that the reso
lution pretends to take In a greater
scope than tho signers, looks to
an unfortunate, If not a willful per
version of the actual fart.
No one of those who ' Interested
needs to be ashiued or uh-ald lo
defend their church homo tuul
church organisation against an
open or "Insidious propaganda," no
matter how rank, disguised or
"pious" It may appear. And no
one should believe that such n
nolilo act Is a "culpable- sin." To
believe and nay ho Ik perversion

1. We ara not blind aa to the need
of tba Knglleh language in our rongre

we have given It

The Sunday school, i

lieve that It will bo Injurlnua In varloua
waya to dlepoee ot Ita property In part
or be a whole. -
3. At the Vnlverelty of Oregon there
'are not "several hundred" Lutheran
aiudenla as baa been broadcasted by one
of the promoters of tha "atudent church."
but only T are reported. With only tT
Lutheran atudento of which only a nom
inal fraction may be counted upon, the
apparent need doe not eeem to be ao
v-rf-n and the field looka to be rather
limited.
t. In the clly of Rugene and vlelnlty
there are four Lutheran churches. Any
one of lhaee ehurchee will, no doubt, af
ford ample accommodatlona. and wel
come any and all of theaa Lutknran Bin
denta lo take part In the congrega
tion eervlrea. ft la reasonable to oup

Icea would rather attend tbe reapectlve
co-igregatlons than to be alone. .
t. Tha espanaea to commence and to
carry on the work among the few atu
dents at the Oregon university will, no
doubt, be undulv great In proportion to
the limited field, and In view of tha
ample facllltlea afforded the aludcme
bv the varloua Lutheran churchea of
thla clly.
a. Since tho different avnoda and local
congregatlona look npon the "tntereynod
lcsl new movement" with mora or lean
apprehension, why should the Trinity
Lutheran church jeopardlso their or
ganisation and . properly for a "new
movement" of unknown quantity and
problematic spirit even though It op.
eraiA under tha name of Lutheran
brotherhood? ,
7. Since tho Trinity Lutheran church
of Rugene. formerly served by Rev. o.
Skllbred. haa been under' Iho Influenco
and direction of tbe Lutheran brother
hood spirit of Rugeno for tho laat two
years, and since the Influence of that
spirit and work has brought, the congre
gallon Into a lamentable condition of

bers, therefore be It resolved that wo
the underalgned members ot anld rhureh,

Another field of activity from
which the public selects Idols is
the stago. If some one makes a
hit as an actor or actress, the
world bows at their feet In worship.
It matters not how unclean their
private lives have beon, they are
worshiped as great stars of thel.'
profession. Such escapades as that
I ot Hoscoe A r buckle, and other dls-
i graceful scenes enacted by the 1
I stars of the screen such as aro be
. Ing uncovered and exposed so fre
quently In Los Angeles and Holly
wood, only seem to mnks the wor
shiping public fawn the more on
these "high lights" of tho "upper"
underworld. Jt mutters not how
many mothers' hearts have boon
broken by tho loss from decent so
ciety of her beautiful daughter, nor
now many wives nnd husbands
have been sacrificed on the altar
of animal passion by these high
lights, they are worshiped just the
same. '

I also notice that lied Grange Is
commercializing his popularity with
prlncoly profits. - In just fourteen
days his popularity netted him
$600,000. Let us see, that Is a
little .tnoro than 135,000 a day
i'raity ncn picKing. This Is all o.i
his fame and name. And It Is made
pouilhlo because the American peo
plo go wild ovor somo bora. It Is
no wondar that tho movie Industry
can pay sucn princely salaries.
Hayes Is payed a million; Chaplin
a million. ' Other cnlehrltlos aro
paid in proportion. Millions of tho
people's good money going for hero
worship, snd farmors and artisans
and professional men thinking
tnemseives lucky If they roach a
ItO.OOO.a year proposition. Even
such brilliancy as Is shown by our
editors, ot our dully papers and
their writers can't reach, or evon
hope to reaoh, such heights In tho
firmament of salary, not oven our
1ugcno nowspapor men.
