rr YOU are Interested In city finan
ces, bare la statement that will
give' you cona Id arable food for
thought :
"The city of Astoria, with a debt
of it own of (4,049,000 and a share
in the debt of port, county and school
district that brings Its total debt up
to approximately $6,000,000, haa now
an assessed valuation of only a little
more than ,9,000,000.
. This statement la contained In a
recent issue of the Astorlan-Budget,
published in the city ofAstorla.
SUPPOSE you live in Astoria and
own property worth. 9,000. .Tour
property may be clear, so far aa you
are concerned, but because' of the
city's debt it has, In reality, a mort
gage of $6,000 against It.
If you mortgage your 9,000 property
for (3,000, its entire value will be
balanced by debt. ,
: That la to aay, two-thirds of the
entire value of your property is al
ready represented by OXT? debt, and
if you add another third to the debt
the value is ALL gone.
BUT that Isn't 'a'll. The Astorlan
Budget tells ua that about a third
of the property in Astoria haa ceased
to pay taxes. This moans, it says,
that "six million dollars worth of
property la trying to pay a slx-mllllon
dollar debt."
It adds: "It requires no wizard of
finance to tell ua that it can't be
done."
MOST of ua will agree'that It oan't
be don. Some form of scaling
down of the debt will have to be un
dertaken, which will involve conslder
able humiliation. It' is always humili
ating when people have to admit that
they cant pay their debts. "'
IN ASTORIA'S experience, there is a
lesson for all the rest of the people
In Oregon a lesson that ought to be
' heeded.. . '
'' Here Is a community that sought
StV meet-, its problems and it had
uanty of them, as those who are fa
ttier wth Astoria's recent history
knows by voting bonds. Great public
enterprises, such as docks, were un
dertaken when the progress of private
enterprise was not rapid enough to
be satisfying."
The task of rebuilding a city prac
tically destroyed by fire was under
taken. Many other tasks were under
taken, all of them involving the vot
ing of mora bonds. Ths bonds were
voted because it seemed the thing to
do.
IUT now the fact must be faced
1 that the total debt of the city of
Astoria amounts to two-thirds as
muoh as the assessed valuation of all
the property in Astoria. It isn't a
pleasant fact.
Astoria, isn't going out of business.
Its resources, both material and spir
itual, are too great for that. But it
baa got Itself Into a very serious
situation.
If the people of other communities
of Oregon an wise, they will profit
by Astoria's experience to the extent
of realizing that while it is easy to
vote themselves deeper into debt It
is exceedingly hard to pay up.

DENVER
BOMBS
CAUSE TERROR
Six Explosions Rip Suburban
Areas Theater, Church
School and Homesi Tar
gets Suspect Madman
DENVER. Colo.. Sept. 29. (AP)
Police today were baffled by the
bomb terror which gripped Denver
last night, destroying one house,
shaking a theater and church school
and causing a general panlo In north
Denver and two suburbs.
Six explosions were reported dur
ing the night, the first three being
of little importance and doing no
damage.
Police ascribed the first reported
explosion In Valverde, to small boys.
This theory was abandoned when a
terrific blast rocked the Holy Family
church In north Denver, fifty mem
bers of a school club who were meet
ing In the school, dashed terrified
from the building at the blast, which
stopped the motion picture, machine
in the Oriental theater across the
street. Hundreds of theater patrons
rushed for exits at the sound of the
blast.
Stout Man Seen
A woman told police she saw a
"stout man" leave a car, walk up an
alley behind the school and run out
a few moments later and a second
before the explosion.
A few minutes later a bomb blast
rocked a neighborhood a few blocks
distant, shattering windows and
knocking goods from store shelves
for several blocks around.
Police were Investigating these ex
plosions when a fourth blast wrecked
and set fire to a house owned by
Custer Rand In Barnum, another
suburb. Barnum Is but a short dis
tance from the scenes of the north
Denver bombings.
Wreckage of Rand'a house caught
fire and efforts to battle the blaze
were futile because of lack of water.
Thousands Stay Up
After the bombing of Rand's house,
police and firemen learned of two
other explosions In Barnum earlier In
the evening which made a great
noise but did no damage. Barnum
is very sparsely settled.
Thousands of persons stayed In the
streets until daylight today, -afraid
to return to their homes. Police re
serves were held in all stations and
firemen on leave were recalled to
duty as the city hunted vainly for
the "madman" believed responsible
for the blast.

WINSL0W. Ariz., Sept. 29.
Accompanied by a couple of
my kids and a nephew, we Bre
flying back to old Orange
Juiceville after a happy day
Saturday at a big celebration
in Claremore. It sure was fine
to meet all the old home folks.
After all, it's the best people
that stay at home. It's just
the tramps that leave and do
the bumming. It broke all rec
ords for an enjoyable day.
There wasn't a speech made
and you just ean't imagine how
glad everybody was. The cham
ber of commerce and some pol
iticians were broken hearted
not to be able to say something
but we kept 'em still.
