B E R $7, 1932 BONDS MAKE TAXES HIGH Oregon's public debt is more than $200,000,000 or something like one-third of the total assessed valuation of the state. This is the chief factor in making high taxes for no matter what economy we put into practice there is al­ ways the interest and sinking tund on this huge debt to be met. This cost, contracted in good times, remains the same now when our ability to pay is greatly diminished, and no matter what we do we can not escape it. In the state we arv trying to pay off a $54,000,000 bond debt. In Lane county government we are levying $138,000 for bond interest and sinking fund to pay on $1,473,500 in road bonds for highways we should have paid for when they were built. For this bond scheme we have gotten 59 cents worth of road and are now struggling to pay 41 cents worth of interest on each dollar spent. In the city of Springfield the budget next year calls for $28,008 tor bond interest, warrant interest and sinking fund while only $12.800 is allotted for running the city gov­ ernment—What a lop sided situation. The bonded debt of the city is $140,550, including Bancroft bonds. When the school budget is made we will likely find some $7,000 more devoted to interest on public indebted­ ness. School bonds outstanding in this district are $09,000. . If we ever again have prosperous times this bonded in­ debtedness should be a lesson to us. Let's pay as we make any public improvements. Bonds are not necessary as we once thought. If we can pay the $38,000 or $40,000 worth of debt interest and sinking fund which faces us in state, county, city and school district, this vear in times of de­ pression, then WE COULD HAVE MADE ANY ONE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT the city now has WITH A SPECIAL TAX LEVY IN ANY PAST YEAR OF PORSPER1TY. WHEN A PRESIDENT GOES CAMPAIGNING Under a law enacted after the assassination of Presi­ dent McKinley, it is a capital offense, punishable by death, even to threaten the life of the president. Nevertheless, the protection of the president’s person is one of the chief worries of the secret service men. It is also a good deal of a strain upon the president to have to liniit his movements, outside of his own home, within the narrow range wherein the secret service men can accompany him. When the president of the United States goes cam­ paigning, or moves anywhere out of Washington, he is guarded and protected by secret service men every inch of the way. The presidential special train has the right of way over everything else on the railroad line. Secret ser­ vice men and railroad officials go ahead of it and see that every switch is spiked in place before the presidential train passes, while a squad of government secret service opera­ tives precedes the president to his destination and takes command of the local police situation to see that the crowds at the station and elsewhere are handled in such a way as to insure the maximum safety of the president’s person. The personnel of the president’s train is selected from the most trustworthy railroad employees, from the engineer down to the waiter who serves meals in the presidential din­ ing car. The president’s personal tastes in food are con­ sulted, naturally, when the dining car is stocked. On one trip made by a certain president the refrigerator contained thirty-six dozen oranges and two dozen lobsters, these be­ ing delicacies oi which the president was particularly fond. DESTRUCTIVE EFFORTS The promoters of the school moving bill have not only made out a bad case for the state but have placed them­ selves in much disrepute. Try as they may to conceal their financial backers the facts are bound to come out and to the everlasting discredit of these men. There is nothing economical or constructive in the Zorn-McPherson school moving bill either now or in the long run. It is a blow at higher education and a breach of faith with Lane county. If right ever prevails then this hill should be snowed under on election day with many thousands of 317 NOS. « No one can guess how Springfield will vote on some candidates but everyone knows that Swarts, Moffitt and Poole will carry the local vote by large majorities. This is one place where the home boys are going to get the •’break.” James Mott's chances to become the next congressman from this district are very good. He is the type of intelligent and aggressive young man that will get thing done at Wash­ ington. He should be truly representative of his state. ----------- The greatest howl about the bonus comes from those who sold the government $10 articles for $100 during the war. jUB Q i k FA M ILY , DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES MO STAYING HEALTHY For a long time I have been thinking that there is more praise for the man or woman who prevents the invasion of disease, than for the people who claim the credit of curing diseased conditions. I believe most diseases are prevent­ able; then, why not devote a good measure of our energy to keeping disease oil, and, thereby, not becoming ill? Your family doctor will tell you that he would gladly seek some other means of making a living, if by so doing he could banish sickness irom the land. He devotes much of his time to “preventive medicine," thus seemingly trying to work himself out of a job. No “cult" that 1 know of spends much of its time that way. When 1 tell you that leaf-vegetables, lettuce and such like, are the best ’roughage’’ for your digestive tracts, I am trying to ward off the possible evils of commercialized pro­ ducts. w lM When I advise a soft, and varied diet, of good, nutrP tious, plain food, with temperate habit of eating, I am ad­ vising against disease. When I assure you against the awful six-o’clock dinner and the no-breakfast plan, I am giving advice that will bear fruit in length of days. I have spent many years In close observation. When I write you that excess of certain vitamins pro­ duces a condition much like hardening of the arteries, you may as well quit trying to select vitamins that you think you need—you may be doing the seller of that particular “vitamin” a favor, but yourself much harm. And, when I tell you that the food you like,—the sorts that “set well” on your stomach, eaten in moderate quan­ tity, with plenty of saliva are best for you, and will give you all the vitamins you really need you may depend upon it without worry.
