Tho proposal appearing In today's nows thnt Cdnstantlnoplo bo Inter nationalized, it carried out, would bo an. extremely important factor In tho futuro peace of Europe. That duc ha suggestion could bo made by a member of the Russian government indicates to what lengths tho revolu tion hnB carried his country. For" years tho possession of Con stantinople and tho mastery of tho Dardanelles has been a vital issue in European politics. Long ago Tur key ilrovo Qrecco out of this terri tory and more recently England has fought Russia to keep her back from this nvenuo to tho Mediterranean. Always Russia's desire for a free outlet to tho sea has kept her eyes turned to this Bpot and until the Great War further friction with Brit ain Deemed possible over tho subject. Then carao the war and all was changed. Russia's assistance was essential and sho could make terms. One of them, apparently, was that ono of tho peaco terms to be enforced by tho Allies was to be tho cession of Constantinople to her. At least, after tho war had progressed for some months it was announced that tho agrcemont with Russia to this effect had been made, England ap parently preferring such evils as might arise from a Russian Constan tinople to tho absence of Russian assistance In tho defeat of Germany. Now Russia herself proposes the internationalization of the city of contention, insuring her own free dom in the use of the Dardanelles and removing the possibility of fu turo discord based on a single owner ship. There sems to be also a chance of an advantage in the war because of the Russian proposal, which will undoubtedly meet with favor among tho Allied nations. bonds and-will hnvo to pay interest thereon. Within tho city limits in creased valuations duo to tho jiulld lug ot tho road and other connected construction, m well ns that arising from tncreaso in population, will help to meet the tax levy to cover this Interest. Jhcro Is ono point on tax es. Anoihcr is tho matter of com pensating benefits mentioned above. For; tho 1100,000 which Ilcnd puts up, nearly a million dollars worth ot railroad construction will bo dono In Deschutes county, Thnt will pay taxes to tho county. Every cent ao paid will reduce tho amount to ho paid by every othor tax payer, and so long as tho six per cent limitation Is in force, must necessarily operate to rcduco tho mlllago each year. Tho tax, thou, to no paid by a resident of tho city for county pur poses will bo necessarily lower when tho railroad Is built. Tho same Is truo ot the school dis trict. Wo do not know what part of the railroad property will bo in tho local district, but every dollar's worth will pay a tax, which will mean that much less tax from others In the district, which includes tho city ot Bend. These aro points which should bo borno in mind when tho taxation tea- turo ot tho proposed bond issuo is considered. Good nows. Tho Department ot Agriculture advises us that a family of four wilt ncod only one-half ounce of kale for tho coming summer. Its purchasing power must bo mighty to do tho trick.

Details of organisation left un finished at the meeting Tuesday nlght, wore completed last night, when tho hoard of directors of the Bend Amateur Athletic Association convened. B. A. Stover was chosen A NORMAL SCHOOL. In a communication to the Ore gon Journal, a resident of Sisters has suggested that Bend would bo an deal place for tho establishment of a stato normal school. Tho Journal had proposed a school at Tho Dalles and Its correspondent pointed out tho superior advantages of a loca tion hore. Our Sisters friend is right. Bend is almost at the geographical center ot tho state Stato highways are planned to radiate from here and tho coming Strahorn lines will bring to Bend tho people from the south and southeast who now travel around tho border ot the state to got to Port land. In other words, so far as location is concerned, Bend's situation could not bo bettered, and the same Is true ot the other features of climate, scen ery and purity of water, which make a town attractive. And finally, we have tho children and schools which are necessary to a successful normal. Tho communication to the Journal was as follows: SISTERS. Or., Morch 19. To tho Editor of The Journal In an edi torial of March 10, you suggest the desirability and convenience ot an other normal school at The Dalles. Surely thore can be no doubt In any ono's mind as to the need of a state normal somewhere east of the Cascades. Tho Dalles, no doubt, has all tho advantages that you claim for it, but It has ono serious disad vantage which you fail to mention. That disadvantage Is that The Dalles is located in the extreme northwest ern corner of the vast territory which a new state normal should serve. There aro other towns east of the Cascades that have all the advantages claimed for The Dalies, that ha-.j the Important advantage of being more centrally located. Bend, for instance, "is large enough to provide plenty of pupils for a model school, ana ii is largo enough to give teach era studying there a taste of city life and Ideas," which you, in your edi torial, rightfully consider import ant advantages, Furthermore, It Is growing very rapidly. It is a live, progressiva little city, within easy reach of every Central Oregon com munity. I( la a town possessing many scenic attractions. In fact, it Is an ideal location for a normal school. P.
