PUBLIC ECONOMY NECESSARY If there ever was a time in the history of Oregon when a wise economical expenditure of public money was needed, that time Is n<>w at hand. No new public work of any character should be undertaken other than the repairs to public building*, roads and bridges, where in it is wim - economy to maintain and protect from wastage. The people have been called upon to sutweribv large «urn* of money for two government loan*, and to give most liberally to the Red Croa* money for the care of our soldier* at the battle fronts «ml to relieve the suffering of the civilian victims, in those countries where the carnage of war rages In addition tn this heavy demand for money from the people, money which must be sup plied. the war prices for living have increased from 50 to 100 tier cent more than at normal times. People are forced to economise in their liv ing expense«, simply because they have to do so. It is. therefore, almost a patriotic duty for our public officials tn adopt the severest frugality In the expendi ture of public funds. The war is not over yet We do not nor can not know what demand* the future may unfold for us. We do know, however, with a continuation of the war for one or more war*, that the people will be cal let! upon to take up. perhap«, many more bond issues. Our soldiers mint be fed, clothed and supplied with the munitions of war New armies must t>e raised for. at any hazzard. we must win the war. ’ * . . * V. *’ 1 I . ♦ ' •< '»’ Z 4 h /?- j '• ** ' V» • t would have been overwhelmningly defeated But these cundiuooa ar* here and the mistake of voting txmds at that time can vet be partially remedied by the refusal of the authorities to sell any more road lionds white the war ia on. Especial ly as the Ixinda would have to be sold below their par value and labor cost is abnormally high, should further proceedure along thia line be called off or delayed until world conditions become normal again. Anyway such public work will be needed to give our soldier boy* work when they return from the war. And they should have it. too. instead of giving It to war slackers and dis loyal foreigners, as must be the caw if the work ia pushed before the war ends. In any event, the n-’ces- sity of public economy ia now press ing, if the taxpayer is not to be overburdened We can have this economy if our present official* will consider conditions rightly and if we elect the right kind of men or women to succeed them. So let everybody busy themselves and select, in their minds, candidates for the legislature and the county court whu are likely to make good in serving the liest interests of the tieople. *. . »♦ A GOOD * - - '■ * / » < .
