10 EMBEZZLEMENT
MKMPIHS. Tcnn., Feb. 12.-
Prcsldent C. Hunter Itnlno of tho de
funct Mercantile Dank pleaded not
Rtilltr to nn embezzlement charge be
fore Judge Palmer here today.
Ills denial of guilt was a general
stirprlso as it had been expected ho
would niako a confession and accept
a prUon sentenco without fighting.
Ills attorneys raised tho point that tho
indictment against htm wan defective
in that it failed to specify the exact
amount of his alleged shortage, which
was reported today to exceed $1,000,
000. The prisoner's brother, Gilbert
Kalno, editor of the Star-Scimitar,
reconciled to hi in by his trouble after
a long estrangement, was with tho
"former in tho courtroom. Pending
an application for release on bond tho
ex-banker was locked up again.
MEDFORD'S MUNICIPAL NEEDS

(Continued from yesterday.)
WRGE'COM KILLED
(Ornnts Pas- (.'mirier.)
There is on exhibition in the dis
play window of Hu-li's taxidermM
Oitiiblishmcnt the onreu'-i of a lji
nonpar killed bv Dell I'lmreliill nnd
Mr. Uoss in Cow Creek ennyon. Tlio
two vycrc hunting in tlio Cow Creek
i-oimtry with old "Keny" Churchill'
fiiinmi'. trailer, when attention was
attracted to n commotion in the t-nn-yon,
nnd tho coupir wn. mhi ju-t
in the not of killinj; a young buck
leer, probably u two or throo-yonr-old.
The do nt ouoe took the trail
nnd 1.0011 hnd the ootignr treed, when
it was brought down with the rifle.
The conjnir i- 72 feel in length,
from ti to tip, and weighed 130
pounds. It wns sleek nnd fnt, nt
texting thnt ninny deer had been sac
rificed to supply its larder. Atten
tion wns first attracted to it by the
rustling vvhWi it made in tho bu.-hos
in killing its last door, I ho doer not
yet being dead when the cougar was
lirst discovered.
.croiintlng Sjstetn
Tho city's accounting system 's
woefully Inadequate. Tho accounts
are not kept In such a manner that
one ran tell at n glnnce dally, weekly,
monthly, or yearly:
1. How much the city owns
2. How much tho city owe.
3. The llablllt) of tho city on un
filled orders, contracts, olo.
I. Tho balance of appropriations
mioxpotutott or tho balance unencum
bered. 6. How much tho city spends for
salaries, supplies, equipment, repairs,
debt service or flveil charges.
C. How much tho various city de
partments cost the city each year.
7. Whether bills prosonted ono
month have boon previously paid.
Nhm1 for a Complete Inventory f
City Property
At tho present time there Is no
complete record showing how much
proportj the city owns. Tho superin
tendent of the water department and
tho street commissioner Keep a list
or the tools used In their departments
on a sheet of paper, but there Is no
property ledger maintained In tho re
corder's offleo by which to establish
control over all other departments In
which nil now equipment and pur
chases of the city might bo entered.
Tho books of tho city do not even
show tho number of street lights,
classified as to kind, which the city
maintains and pays for each month.
Tho only record which tho city has Is
found on the bill which the electric
light company renders monthly. While
the auditing committee of the council
is supposed to check up the number
of lights charged for on the bill by
actual count each month, jet the city
has no legal evidence whatever as to
tho number of lights for which It
should pay monthly. Tho city shoul I
Install a property ledgor Immodlatolv
and an Inventory of all land, build
ings, equipment, and personal prop
erty should be made. The Inventory
should show not only the cost of tho
equipment or property, nnd tho date
of purchase, but tho estimated life of
the property so that the cost of re
placing It could be foreseen and al
lowed for in making up tho financial
program of tho city
Liability Accounting
No charges arc made against funds
until goods havo been delivered and
a bill reaches the recorder's office.
In many casci, tho first information
ho has that a purchase has been made
and a liability Incurred ngalnst the
city Is when tho bill Is prcnontod for
payment. It Is evident that then It I
too late to exorcise any control what
ever over expenditures and thereby
prevent officials from Incurring debts
in excess of tho annual appropria
tion
Should Set l'p Hocrvcs
Proper administration of appro
priations demands that whenever n
purchase order Is Issued or a contract
certified, the actunl or estimated
amount thereof shall bo charged Im
mediately ns an Incumbrance on tho
appropriation nunlnst which It Is li
suod. It then acts as a reserve to
Insure tho retention of n sufficient
balance on tho account to take care
of tho Invoice or bill when rendered.
This Is the only svstom by which tho
oart condition or such authorisations
may bo correctly ascertained and de
part moats prevented from over In
cumbering; tho amount allowed them.
Uopait mental Accounts
Tho books kept by the recorder do
not show how much Is spent for sul-arlc-s.
supplies. oqulptuBiit. repairs, or
debt service for ouch department or
for all department. Swell Informa
tion can only b obtained after a
Iens: and tedious examination of ovorv
bill audited ilurlnw the jenr. It Is a
rundamcotal principle of accounting
that any account which 'has to l-,
nnalyiod In ordsr to arrlt at ls
significance Is worth!. The records
should be so kept as to rVonl at n
glanct Information such as thts which
Is of primary Iroimrtnnce. In the ab
sence of knowledge regarding tho
amount and character of supplies an !
equipment purchased during the year,
there Is no means of knowing the sav
ing which might be effected by pur
chasing supplies and tools in quanti
ties or under contract.
The books do not show how much
each department of tho city costs and
hence it has no basis for comparlni;
Its expenditures with that of other
cities of similar site. It Is suimestoJ
that tho council seriously consider
departaientlslHg the workMf the city
so as to conform to the grouping of
function adopted by the United
States census In Its report on tho
statistics of cities, and in this way It
will b possible to make compari
sons betweon the expenditures of
.Mcdford and other cities of similar
size.
Xoetl for n Claimant's Ledger
At tho present llmo the only way to
find whether a bill presoutod ono
aionth has been previously paid Is to
look through all tho audited claims
or to rely upon tho memory of tho
recorder. A lodger should be Install
ed which would show tho financial
standing of every Individual or firm
with which the city engages In busi
ness, how much is duo the firm, and
whon the account was paid. This
would enable tho olty to pay Its bills
promptly and thus secure tho usual
trade discount. Slnco tho Installa
tion of such a lodgor In auditor's of
fice of Multnomah county the amount
received by way of discounts wjs
inoro than tho auditor's animal sal
ary. Furthermore It will prevent the
city's paying tho same bill twice,
which might easily happon under tlnj
present arrnngomont.

Eat less meat and take Salts for Back
ache or Bladder trouble
Neutralises acids.
Uric acid in meat excites the kidneys, ,
they bcomo overworked! get sluggiih,
ache, and feci like lumps of lead. The
urino becomes cloudy; the bladder Is Irri
tate!, and jou may be obliged to seek re
lief two or three times during the nljjht.
When the kidneys clog you miut help
them flush olf the body's urinous wate
or you'll be a real sick person shortly.
At first you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, you suffer from backache,
sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets
sour, tonguo coated and you fed rheu
matic twinges when tho weather Is bad.
Eat lws rncat, drink lots of water;
alao pet frcm any pharmacist four ounccH
of J ad Salts; take a tablcapooufui
in a glass of water before breakfast
for a few days and your kidneys will
then act fine. This famous salts is made
from the schl of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with litliia, and has been used
for generations to clean clogged kidneys
and stimulate them to normal activity,
also to neutralize the acids in urine, so
it no longer is a source of irritation, ,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jud Salts is inexpensive, cannot in
jure; makes a delightful effervescent '
lithla-water drink which everyone bIiouW
tako now and then to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Druggists here say
tliev sell lots of Jad Salts to folks who
believe in overcoming kidney trouble
while it Is only trouble.
