THE COUNCIL'S CHANCE.
Tho constitutional amendment ne
cessitating tho holding of city elec
tions at tho samo time ns state nnd
county does away with any city elec
tion In Hend this year, according to
tho latest opinions or tho nttornojs
who havo studied the matter. At
present it scorns uncertain just when
tho next election for tho selection of
city officials will occur. It may bo
wheu tho primaries aro held In the
spring or It may bo not until tho gen
eral election In November. It prob
ably Is tho latter.
It tho election Is not to be until
November tho city officials now If.
offico remain on the job for another
year and tho opportunity Is open for
an interesting pieco of work on their
part. Wo refer to n possible study
and careful treatment of; city fi
nances. In December of each year tho city
budget is agreed upon by tho council
and a tax lovy made based on the
budget. Under tho old law three of
tho council members who helped to
inako tho budget went out of office
almost as soon as this ptecc of work
was dono, being succeeded by thrco
others who had no part in the bud
get making and no Information as to
the financial arrangements for tho
coming year. Now, by virtue of tho
postponement of tho election, n new
situation exists. The same three men,
who as thd Ways and Means commit
teo, propare tho budget, and the same
bIx who as members of the city coun
cil, voto it for the coming year, will
remain In offico to expend the money.
They will bo familiar with the
city's financial condition because of
their work on the budget and they
will be tho ones who havo decided
what shall be spent. Also they will
be tho ones to spend.
That would seem to put the thing
pretty definitely up to the council to
spend for only what they had pro-
colvo Its Indorsement before ho can
sook funds with any prospect of sue
cobs. Thnt Is, without the comnilt
tco recognition, tho solicitor Is lack
ing tho credentials necessary to hnvo
his proposition listened to. That Is
n condition precedent.
This plan Is objected to In some
plnces, howevor, because It lays tho
Imllvlihml m mill) or s oticm to lirosauro!
when properly n scheme should bo
considered nowhere except In com
tn U too mooting. To tnkn its place,
according to n recent article In n
Now York mngaztno, n Kansas town
has organized n secret committee.
Anyone who wishes to clrculato a
subscription paper In that town first
must placo his proposition before tho
manager of tho Commercial club who,
In turn, takes It before the secret
committee. The manager then re
ports the committee decision.
Thnt seems to us tho best Idea yet,
but whatever plan Is chosen It ought
to relievo our present situation.

CATTLE DISEASES
MAKE HEAVY TOLL
Twenty Head Die In Wwk of Ruble
anil Blackleg Untrvatttl Herds,
to He Vaccinated.
(From Wednesday's Dally.)
Blackleg and rabies amonx cattle
still make their appearance on tho
ranges of Crook and Deschutos coun
ties. Tho past week some 20 head
of rango cattlo died from blackleg
and from rabies. The latter disease
Is being disseminated amongst live
stock by dogs and coyotes. Stockmen
co-operating with County Agent It. A.
Ward have vaccinated some 200 head
of cattle during the past month. Mr.
Ward has Just received a fresh supply
of vaccine sufficient for 700 head of
of getting again on a cash basis.
SUGAR HOARDING.
Individual selfishness and lack of
patriotism is threatening, In various
parts of the country, Oregon not ex
cepted, to undo the splendid work of
tho United States Food Administra
tion In regulating tho prices of staple
foods and preventing profiteering by
wholesale and retail grocers.
Reports are being made to the of
fico of W. D. Aycr, federal food ad
ministrator for Oregon, that private
individuals havo been buying and
hoarding certain staples, notably
sugar, beyond all their reasonable
needs.
"The person who does this," said
Assistant Federal Food Administra
tor W. K. . Nowell, "Is very short
sighted, as well as entirely selfish
and unpatriotic. Tho United States
Food Administration has given the
public assurance that there is enough
Hugar for us all, and has arranged
for an equitablo distribution and a
fair price, through its system of
licensing the wholesale Jobbers and
largo retailers. Under this system,
which was expressly designed for the
(benefit of the people, all possibility
of profiteering has been eliminated
and the public assured of an abund-
vaccinate tho few remaining untrcat
ed herds during the present week.
In co-operation with the U. S. bio
logical survey, federal predatory ani
mal hunters are being placed In sec
tions where coyotes are most numer
ous, In order to destroy the rabies
carriers.
Steps will bo taken to roduce the
number of worthless dogs at prosent
running loose and infecting stock
with rabies which they have con
tracted from coyotos.
SOCIAL RAISES KIWIIS.
(From Saturday's Dally)
Proceeds from a basket social and
entertainment given last night at the
Hoech school, a few m'.los east of
Bend, amounted to $50.30. This Is
to go Into tho fund for the purchase
of an organ for tho school. Miss
Winifred Nolson was In chnrgo of tho
arrangements and musical program.
(From Tuesday's Dally.)
Just how noon tho fourth baud nt
Tho Shevlln-Hlxon Company mill
here Is to be Installed will depend
largely on tho securing of n suitable
motor. If tho right kind of second
hand machinery ran be obtained,
work will commence nt once, but If
the plant waits for new equipment
It will menu a delay of approximately
five mouths. This was tho statement
this morning of F. P. Ilixnu nnd K. ,
L. Carpenter, president nnd vice
president, respectively, of Tho Sliov-j
llu-HI.ou Company, who arrived to
day on a combined pleasure and In
spection trip.
The labor situation will hnvo no
effect In holding up developments,'
for In splto of tho war and the con
sequent demand for men, tho supply i
of labor tn the lumber Industry Is If
anything greater than last year, Mr.
Carpenter declared.
As to their purpose In coming west
nt this season, Mr. Carpenter muted
that both ho nnd Mr. Hlxon had been'
devoting tholr energies recently to
aiding In the various war fund move
ments, including tho sale of Liberty'
bonds and tho raising of mono)' for
tho Red Cross, and that the Journey
across tho continent was largely tor
rest nnd relaxation. i
Mnnaceiticnt Praised. I
"Hend lookB better than over," Mr.,
Hlxon said, "and If you keep on!
building homes at the rate you have)
during tho last year, you're going to
have even more prosperity. Tho
town Is remarkably clean for so dry
a season." '
Accompanied by T. A. McCann.l

and E. II. Dca, goneral milt suporln-!
teudent for Tho Shevlln-Hixou mills,
Mr. Hlxon nnd Mr. Carpenter went
