The responsibility of the city government is now theirs and they must admin­ ister it as to their best judgment. The new city government is entitled to organise along lines that its members feel they can fuctlon to the best interest of the city and to make ap­ pointments accordingly. The working and accomplishments of the city govern­ ment is the paramount concern of the citizens and tax­ payers of the town rather than who does the work. For that reason we think all should reserve judgment on the new set up until it has had time to demonstrate if it will really work If it really works well, more power to it. If it does not then there will be plenty of time to throw "dead cats.” If we read the mandate of the people at last election correctly there are some things they are nearly unanimous on as wanting done and there are other important items of work. i>erhaps not so apparent to the electorate as a whole, that many people are concerned about. First we would list a reduction in taxes to stave off an almost wholesale loss of property that is about to take place. Taxes are too high even for the most prosperous times. Then there needs to be a reduction in the warrant debt and a scaling down of bond obligation by refunding if pos­ sible. Perhaps these two conditions would seem to be in conflict but they are not necessarily. It is possible to ac­ complish both at the same time as has been done by other cities and taxing bodies under careful management in Oregon. Another important item that everybody is demanding shall be done is better upkeep of streets. The electorate »xjiects something more than promises in street mainten­ ance. Perhaps wishes may be largely fulfilled if the new SERA project for streets and alleys is granted and the work regularly and carefully followed up throughout the year by the street commissioner. Main street can not be allowed to become filthy especially next summer when thousands of motorists are driving through the town. The health committee for once in its life should func­ tion. Contagious diseases bordering almost on an epidemic have raged in the town since early last fall. The state dairy inspector's agent, who has just made the rounds of the cow- barns in town, tells us that many of them are deplorable and an absolute menace to the health of all our citizens. Other items that need attention are sewer catch basins, surface ditches and culverts. In establishment of a “new order” in ¡Springfield this newspaper extends its cooperation and we hope its praise for all that is of benefit to the public welfare. As a citizen, taxpayer and independent newspaper we reserve the right also to suggest and criticise, if in our judgment need be, wherever and whenever we please and in emphatic lan­ guage. CRIMINAL SYNDICALISM There will be a determined fight again, do doubt, in the legislature to repeal the criminal syndicalism law. Forces led by Peter Zimmerman tried hard to do it two years ago. Free speech, free press and free assemblage means as much to us as to anyone. It is the foundation of democracy. Free speech does not carry with it the privilege of yell­ ing “fire” in a theatre to see frightened people trample them’Belves to death trying to escape. Neither does free press permit a newspaper to purposely libel a citizen. Nor should free speech permit anyone to go around preaching the overthrow of the government by force and violence. That is what the criminal syndicalism law seeks to prevent. Criminal syndicalism is defined by the law as advocat­ ing crime, physical violence, sabotage, or any unlawful acts or means to attain industrial or political revolution. Com­ munist doctrines come within the law only so far as they teach the overthrow of government by violence rather than by ballot. If any organization wants to change the government of this country the machinery is there to do it. All that is needed is the consent of the majority of the people, ex­ pressed through the ballot. The trouble with those who want the law repealed is that they mistake license for liberty. Freedom does not mean that a person is free to kill, nor does it mean that there is a right for the minority through violence to override the majority. To go about preaching a doctrine that any small class should rise up and take over the government by force is wrong. All right thinking people know it. Then why should we not have the criminal syndicalism iaw to prevent it? Q & FAMILY , DOCTOR- JOHN JOSEPH GAINES MO ABOUT GERMS Classified according to their form, these little trouble- lakers are “baccilli” and “cocci” ; those words are plural; ne of the first sort is a bacillus; one of the second is a occus. “Baccillus” means rod-shaped; "coccus” means ke a bead or a round berry. The baccilli make exceedingly bad company for their ost. The mighty tubercle baccillus is known and dreaded -has baffled mankind for centuries in efforts to stop its epredations. It is one of the smallest of bacteria, and, ardest to find. Imagine a hair a thousand times too small j be seen with the naked eye—and the hair cut into a undred million short sections. We have the tubercle baccillus, the typhoid baccillus, he colon baccillus, and a number of others—all known as bacteria.” They are rod-shaped. When found under the owerful microscope they must be stained with powerful yes made for that purpose. They are invisible unless reated with stains. The cocci— the bead-shaped—are numerous and many if them deadly. think of nothing more dangerous than he meningococcus. The pneumococcus works havoc in he human lung; and the streptococcu.— at least three var- >ties—no greater villian known. Many American school hildren talk about "strep infections.” Too often this bug” must be cut after again and again—not always with uccess, we are sorry to acknowledge. Staphyllocci are so named from their different group- tigs when seen under the microscope. They are not so ormidable as the streptococci; but all of the “cocci” are us-producers— a fact worth remembering. It is also worth emembering that, of all the stuff peddled as “antiseptic," aost of them are not worth carrying home!

'National Farm Inventory Week" la being observed In Oregon Janu­ ary 14 to 19 through a cooperative arrangement with the Agricultural Adjustment administration. the American Hankers association and the Oregon State college extension service, l'arm Inventories are valu­ able in themselves, but mainly they are both the start and the conclus­ ion of a year's record keeping. Needs for Records Grow AAA programs have greatly stim­ ulated farm record keeping, parti­ cularly aince the administration distributed special record books free Io all signers of contracts. This year the new record books have been greatly improved, according (o farm management specialists at DSC, and though still not as com­ plete as the extension service book, they are highly satisfactory parti­ cularly for one who Is undertaking systematic record keeping for the first time. County Agent O. S. Fletcher slates that a school to train l-ane County farm accounting project leaders will be held in the Eugene high school building on Tuesday. January 15. with the assistance of H H. White of the extension ser­ vice of the Orogon Agricultural col lege. Twenty-two project loaders have been selected for training at this school. Those who kept re­ cords last year will be Invited to bring them to be summarised If they so desire. Knowledge Aids Credit Bankers point out that farm In ventories, followed by simple sys­ tematic record keeping. Improve any grower's credit rating and fact litate all such financial transae lions. The AAA Is Interested In promoting record keeping as it Is a great help to growers and officials of the control programs. The ex tension service has for many years urged this as a sound farm practice likely to Increase profits for any farmer. Those in charge of the program in Oregon emphasise the fact that taking a farm Inventory, which is a list of things the farmer owns, is not a difficult task, particularly if suggested forms are used. 8uch forms will be made available free during the present campaign.

F G G IM A N N ’S • Where Ihe Service Is Different" Your eyes can last your lifetime . . . if you protect them now Thurston The most common cause of poor vision is eye- strain. And eyestrain is sure to occur where there is poor lighting. A famous health magazine says: “If sufficient illumination is not provided, the eyes are continually subjected to a strain in their attempt to discern detail. This rapidly fatigues . . . lowers bodily efficiency, and may produce permanent • • ft injury. It is a tragic mistake to try to save on lights to the detriment of your eyes. Give your eyes the prop­ er protection, and they will last throughout your lifetime. One of the essential elements of eye pro­ tection is good lighting. Mountain States Power Company
