A COMMENDABLE PROMISE
The new city officers took off nicely Monday of last
week. Mayor Tapp’s promise of the kind of economy that
sees to it that the taxpayers get the worth of their money
is commendable.
Spending one’s own and the public’s money is much
the same sort of thing. Just as there are men who cramp
themselves and their communities by penny pinching in
their own personal affairs, so it is possible for office hold­
ers to be unprogressive, having for their one and only aim
the reduction of taxes. At the other extreme are those
who scatter their own money lavishly, and are even more
reckless with the public’s money. Between the two is a
happy medium, a policy which the new mayor has an­
nounced and the councilmen have endorsed.
Indeed, Vernonia must progress. Recent years have
brought to it new needs, and the future is certain to bring
more yet. To gain, Vernonia must spend—not foolishly,
aimlessly, with only the idea that huge expense means pro­
portionate returns, but carefully and shrewdly.
Seeing that the taxpayers get the worth of their money
will be an excellent rule for the new city dads to follow.
DESERVED REAPPOINTMENTS
Reappointment of Judge D. B. Reasoner as recorder and
Harry G. Phelps as chief of police, should meet with unani­
mous approval. Both have served the city well, doing
their duty when need be despite influence, or attempt at
influence, to the contrary, and withal, being square and fair.
OTHERS WHO HAVE SERVED FAITHFULLY
Guy Mills, retiring mayor, has been in office for 12
years as councilman and mayor. During all that time he
has unhesitatingly and unselfishly given his time and ener­
gy to civic affairs, receiving no pay, on a thankless job.
Yet he deserves appreciation.
So with the former councilmen. H. E. McGraw ad­
vances to a more responsible office, commanding enough
pay to cover perhaps a quarter of the expense. Cleve Mel­
linger and Frank Hanson retire after much praiseworthy
service, and Ed Tapp shifts chairs.
It is not always convenient to pass up other engage­
ments two evenings a month, or leave one’s fireside to
transact city business, much of which is more or less dull
routine, but some one has to do it, and those who served
during the past two years and longer are to be commended
for being faithful on the job.

THRIFT
The week beginning January
17 is National Thrift Week. It
is a good idea, to turn people’s
minds to the subject of thrift
at least once a year. This year
it is particularly timely.
We have been going through
a year of hard times and these
hard times were brought about
in large by unthriftiness. There
is thrift that is injurious, to be
sure. The sort of thrift that
hoards money in stockings and
keeps it out of circulation bene­
fits nobody and is a definite
detriment to prosperity. But
that is not the cause of the
financial depression which now
seems to be passing. Much of our
trouble has come from thriftless
spending.
One tan spend money and still
be thrifty. A careful buyer who
insists upon getting his money’s
worth, is thrifty so long as he
does not spend or promise to pay
more than he is certain he will
be able to meet while the thrift­
less ones are those who obligate
themselves without regard to their
ability to meet their obligations.
In the investigation of applicants
for unemployment relief in New
York recently, one family whose
head earned $150 a month, but
who was destitute because he
had committed himself to install­
ment payments on an electric
washing machine, a radio, an
automobile and an electric re­
frigerator, which called for pay­
ments of more than his total sal­
ary! That is a perfect example
of thriftlessness.
Installment buying in itself is
