OBSTRUCTION OF IMPROVE
MENT.
As Viewed by a Eugene Paper.
-Eugene Guard:
There is said to be a movement on
foot to enjoin the city from paving
Lrlain streets, for which contracts j
have been let. We do not know who (
is back of the suit but it is safe to say i
4hat they will be property owners who !
are well able to pay for the improve-j
miMit of their property. That is near- j
ly always the case in a growing cily
like Eugene. While it must be ad-'
mitted that the cost of public work'
frequently works a hardship upon .
small property owners, it is the wcl1-to-do,
non-progressive citizen who
generally goes into the court to delay (
or prevent the progress of improve-1
mcnt work, men who generally main
tain shacks on their properly, and
grow wealthy in the increase of values
which is the direct result of the labors
and enterprise of their neighbors. Such '
property owners are a strong argu
ment in favor of the principle of the
single-tax on land and the exemption ,
of improvements. If you find a com
munity where such persons are in the
majority yon have a town where noth- I
ing grows except moss on the rofs and
grass in the streets. Where they are
in the minority, as in Kugcnc, they
annoy and hamper ihose who are will
ing to spend their money and their
energy in building up a city and mak ;
jng it a desirable place of rc-idence, '
Money is not wasted which is spent
an hard surface pavement, cement side
walks and other permanent improve
ments. It increases the value of every
piece of property in the city. The if lea
of public improvement should not be
carried to the extreme, working a
, hardship upon the people, hut it
.should he a fixed, conservative policy,
.keeping pace with the growth of the
.town, itist as ' Kngene is carrying it
.out. We have done no paving for
over two years and there is a demand
Ifor it from a majority of the people
along many streets. These progres
sive people should not be coerced by
cou-t action to accept the retrogres
sive views of those who have contrib
uted to the growth of the community
only as they have been compelled to.
RUNNING A CITY.
The following from the San Fran
cisco Examiner contains much worth
being digested by the people of every
cily, big and small. A city is often
judged by the men elected in it to
oflice. Had officials always give a city
a black eye, and good ones arc always
a booster for it. Hut here is the ar
ticle: The selection of a Mayor and of the
other officers of the administration is,
after all, chiefly a business mutter. It
is of mi particular importance to the
great bulk of San I'Yaneiseo's citizen
ship whether one i)iau or another
holds a job as mayor or any other of
lice. The ftteslioii is of getting work
done- of having our buildings , built,
our schools put up and well run, the
city prnlctccd from fire, the safety of
life and property assured, the vicious
and criminal elements overawed and
order and decency preserved; our
streets well paved and kept clean, our
buihlinglaws enforced that light mid
air and sanitary conditions may pre
serve the health of the people who
dwell beneath the roofs of San Fran
cisco; good transportation enforced
that our workers may get to and from
their homes speedily and in comfort
in short, the city housekeeping done in
a way that will make San Francisco
a pleasant place in which to live and
do business.
The voters have decided that M.r.
Rolph is much the. fitter to get these
things done for the citizens than any
other candidate.
The election of Mr. Kolph will give
confidence to the men of San Francis
co that the cily is to go energetically
to work to prepare for the great fu
ture thai lies within its grap. Hut,
even more, it will give in other cities
and states the confidence in our capac
ity and character that has been lack
ing. It will help to our rehabilitation
In the eyes of the world. The fact
that we have not deserved the low rcp
titalion that has been fixed upon r.s
does not make it any less important
that we should shake it off when pos
sible. And the election of a true, clean
and cflicient citizen like Mr. Rolph to
represent us will be taken by the
world as notice that San Francisco is
not the foul place that its critics have
itroelaimed. It U notice tha t San
'raneisco is a place into which men
may bring their money and their fam
ilies and be safe.
