SATURDAY'S VOTE. Saturday's election finished tho job that wns begun last winter when the now city administration flrat dis covered that It wns going to be short ot funds with which to pay the city's running exponaesfAslJo from tho council's abortive nttompU to caro for tho situation by a bond lssuo, tho business has proceeded slowly, but Inevitably, to the proper conclusion tho payment ot our bills by a tax. Wo say "Inevitably" because wo thoroughly believe that the people may bo depended upon, when all tho facts aro bctoro them and they have had tlmo to digest them, to do tho right thing. In this case the right thing has been done. Tho council wns reported to have been soro at tho defeat ot tho bond measures at tho previous election In May. It it was sore then it ought to bo highly gratified now becuuso tho pcoplo have taken their word for tho amount ot money needed and signed a check for tho full amount. Thcro has been no argument over items or charges that all that was called for was not needed. In short, tho former voto did not Indicate lack of confidence in tho council so much as dislike of tho bonding measure. Full confidence Is shown by the big majority in favor of tho tax measure. Tho Tote In favor of the library tax is tho first real recognition ever .given hero to this most important featuro ot our community life. With .thisjstart it is to bo hoped that wo shall progress to tho establishment of a real library here. 1 FICTION' BECOME FACT. Did you over read Kipling's "With tho "Night Mall"? It is tho story, imaginary, of course, ot tho flight from England to America ot tho air mail carrier. Tho trip takes ono night, but in that short space ot time all the expcrlcnca of storm, of narrowly averted colli sion and of swift, untroubled flight occur. Slow freighters aro passed, speedy pleasure craft met, other air liners hailed. A fool skipper Is de scribed and on tho mall ship all tho numerous appliances and devices, still the fruit of tho writer's imagin ation, by which tho flight is possible, are detailed. Tho story was interesting when written over 10 years ago nnd almost more interesting today when a one night flight has already been made aeross tho Atlantic. Possibly tho story of their experiences as told by Alcock and Drown is more interest ing, but thcro Is a fascination to the author's feat ot tho Imagination and ono wonders how Mr. Kipling could have done as well as ho did. Following tho story there are copies of nows Items about flying, classified advertisements from the dally newspapers about flying trips, articles lost from airplanes and other like matters, and also display advertiboments. And now in a San Francisco paper we And an actual airplane advertise ment, "Curtis Airplanes for Imme diate Dellvory," "A sturdy, depend able, cross-country machine." "In spection w o 1 c o in e d Air Tours Booked Trulnlns School." Yesterday's fiction has become to day's fact, DISREGARDING FACTS. In the latest number of tho Oregon Voter "high lights, county by coun ty" aro given on tho recent referen dum election. Concerning this coun ty, tho Voter says: "Deschutes, Even a local road bond issuofallud'tol-t'eilough life into more 'than il fier cent, of De schutes county's refelsVpred voCers to drag them to ("ho8 polls. 'Vet those who went voted 81 per cent, for tho local bonds, and 8? per cent, for Irrigation guarantee heading tho entire state for this measure which Jt'supported so ardontly in Its pres and in tho legislature and at that only 1 peri cdnt. higher majority than Clatsop coujity gave tho snmo meas ure alftor gottlng put twico as many Yotas in proportion to population. In spitb of tho knocking of( tho ro construcifph bodl b'ilj by1 Bend's member, c,tlie hjud $$pp'eijlt,cp,m ralssion, Deschutes led Eastern' Ore- Bond hnsn't much use for n knocker. Deschutes nlso Jtronted Portland kindly by n two-thirds voto tor tho hospital amendment tho highest pro portionate voto in Eastern Orogon nnd among llio highest in tho state. Bend and Deschutes, Portland thanks you, nnd Is "forcod to admit that al though few of your voters voted thoso who did voto woro filled with a spirit ot generous cntorprlso." Thanks for tho thanks, but wo doubt it this community enrcs for any gratitude from 'Portland or tts solt-appolntcd spokesman, tho Oro gon Voter, when with it, there is given a respected cllixen so dirty, so mean, so unfair criticism na is given G. H. Baker in tho quotation above. G. If. Baker Is "Bend's member of t.he land settlement commission." It happens tnt Mr. Dakar hns.not only road, but studied, tho provisions ot tho law under which tho commission nets nnd nt meetings of tho commis sion ho has mado an effort to hnvo tho law administered according to tho plain Intent ot its words tor tho benefit ot tho returned soldier, sailor nnd marine This effort Is now Interpreted as "knocking ot tho reconstruction bonding bill,' pre sumably becauso that bill contained nn appropriation for tho laud settle ment commission. It docs not appear who3o this in terpretation is, whether that ot tho Voter editor, or ot members ot tho commission and passed on to tho Voter, but whoso ovcrvlt may bo it Is false. Mr. linker did not knock tho re construction bonding bill. On the contrary, ho spoke and worked in its behalf. Nor has ho "knocked" the present law, nor his fellow com missioners. Ho has, In all sincerity, tried to have the law administered as a SOLDIERS' land settlement act, and not as u model farm experi ment, as planned by Its originators before tho soldier bucamo available as a means ot getting appropriations out ct tho legislature Tho Bend Commercial club has expressed Its approval of Mr. Baker's courso, nnd tho head of tho homo servlco section ot tho northwest division ot tho Red Cross has stated that ho believed Mr. Baker right. As further evidence of Mr. linker's sincerity let it be known that al though ho could easily obtain union labor sympathy and support in the fight he has made In tho commission ho has wholly refrained from taking the matter up with any ot his union affiliations. Ho did, howover, work with his union friends In support of tho reconstruction bill, which Is ono ot tho reasons why tho favorable voto wa3 so largo hero and not be causo Bend wns showing its dis approval of a knocker. Thcro Is n thing, however, of which tho town disapproves, nnd that Is tho text book whose text is tainted. Wo have a use for Mr. Bakqr, but nono for such disregard of facts as the Voter Is guilty of. Perhaps It will explain whero It got this nows about Mr. Baker's op position to tho reconstruction bill, end also explain Its views of the uio ot tho soldier as a means ot obtain ing legislation and then ditching It may ho somo satisfaction to Germany toVkniv thtttslto hart, her UVVt S.t IIHV 1 itttVJtU fcltltl wo can Bay.

THE PRICE FACTS. It Is regrettable, but nono tho less true, that carelessly, und sometimes oven maliciously, wo bcllevo state ments mado by strangers which placo our neighbors in a bad light. Many of us aro altogether too prono to think truo charges or rumors that reflect on our fellows, and sometimes, unfortunately, wo glvo thorn further currency without tuklng tho trouble to investigate and ascertain tho facts. Of such' nature, It seems to Tho Bulletin, wero tho frequently ro- peaieu statements that there was profiteering in tho lumber business in Bend, and especially that lumbar cost more hero than elsewhere, a matter that was discussed at the Commercial club mooting on Wednes day. Following that meeting Tho BulJo tin urged tliat tho facts bo brought out so that criticism might be ended, at the same tlmo asserting our belief that investigation would show that there was no ground for tho com plaint, and yesterday wo woro able to present statements which cor roborated our belief. For that we aro very glad, and glad also to ho able to report the concessions which are bolng mado by tho mills to en courage homo building here. , Wo cherish an optimistic belief that if the facts of our local differ ences could all bo brought out and explanations made they would vanish and wo would have a Utopian com munity.
