COUNTY CHAIRMAN HIBBARD.
Favors Union of Forces in the Coming
June Elecrion.
K. L. Hibbard, chairman of the
Marlon county People's party.returned
today from a week spent in Portland,
where he attended the meeting of the
Populist state central committee.
He says the severe strain on the Peo
ples party lias been relieved.
Mr. Hibbard says he stopped a day
or two at Oregon City and saw the
county officials, all Populists, who are
all fayorable to an honorable union of
forces, Mr. U'Ren to the contrary
notwithstanding. lie says the way
the matter now stands, if a majority
of Undelegates in any county conven
tion or in a district or state conven
tion, favor a Union ticket, the Peo
ples p.trty is then, by such expression
through the delegates, in honor bound
to unite for a Union ticket on a plat
form embodying the essential princi
ples of the party.
Mr. Hibbard is unqualifiedly in
favor of a union ticket in this county
and all over tlie state. He can see no
reason why men who think alike on
the essentials of reform should not
vote together, and that too without
any of them compromising themselves
as members of the different silver and
reform organizations. He went to
his home at Willard today after hold
ing a short conference with John
Baync, Democratic county chair
man, and W. T. Rigdon, Silyer
Republican county chairman. The po
litical rampaign will not begin yet for
a month or two, but Mr. Hibbard pro
poses to leave nothing undone to se
cure united and harmonious action of
the three organizations In Marlon
county.

School Election,
Two Directors to Be
March.
Chosen Next
A Review of Salem School Finances and
What Should Be Done.
By the resignation of Adam Olimart
there will be two directors to elect at
the annual school meeting in March.
That will be the most Important
school meeting ever held at Salem.
Saiem school district has a bonded
debt of 343,000, and by next July will
have an estimated floating debt of
$25,0u0.
The school district Is paying about
$4000 a year Interest, at rates ramrlntr
from six, seven, eight to nine per cent
ti e past year.
About $10,000 bonds drawing eight
per cent fall due In 1900 and will have
to be refunded nr provisions made for
paying them.
The district should elect two men
ror directors who will fiivor funding
the debt of the district at four per
cent interest op less, thus reducing
the interest burden $2000 a year. Then
we can get along with less taxes or
have more money to spend for Im
provements. The district should elect the best
class of business men for directors
who will finance the district from the
standpoint of the taxpayer, not In the
interest of bondholders and money
lenders. Tlie best financiers say and all ktiow
as a matter of fact that this district
can fund and carry Its debts at four per
cent, and as fast as bonds come due
renew them at four per cent. Public
pride must be appealed to and men
elected who have the pride of the
school system at heart sufficiently to
serve the district instead of serving
themselves or some syndicate.
SCHOOL FINANCES.
Let us have a plain talk about our
Saletn school finances.
The tax rolls get Into the sheriff's
hands about six months lute and col
lection Is dragged along nearly a
year.
The tax of 1897 should have given
the district $16,249.15 to work with.
Up to Nov. 3, 1897, this tax gave the
district $13,971.79. The same tax in
1898 will yield about $1000 less.
It will be seen the district does not
get all It levies. The system Is a
bad one and It is not a fault of the
sheriff or school board.
No one can figure out that the pres
ent six mill levy will pay running ex
penses of the school. It will go to
wards paying tho running expenses
ol the year ending July 1, 1898, but
will not pay it all.
Levies for all purposes are about
sixteen months behind, and tlie war
rant dealer and money lender gets 7
and 8 per cent on all city, county and
school expenses during the time we
are behind. That is io'j a good thing
for the taxpayer,
The people are not to blame for this
condition of affairs Who Is? Hard
to tell. The present boaid lias whit
tled down expenses for about rive years
until there is almost nothing more to
whittle on. Teachers get less than in
any city on the coast. We have only
a nine months school.
What can bo done ? The taxes col
lected for 1897 should be applied to
running the schools for the year be
ginning September 1898. All debt
prior to that should be taken up and
funded into call bonds that can be
floated at 4 per cent or less. The peo-
Sic should yote that at the coming
larch election. If a man Is in debt
and has credit he Is irolng to make
his Interest burden as low as ho can.
We are paying 7 to 9 per cent for
money on call notes to defray cut rent
expenses. Current expenses should
be met by the current tax levy In
cash. At Salem warrants draw no
Interest. This necessitates getting
on a cash basis or borrowing money
of local banks at 7 to 9 percent to de
fray current expenses. School war
rants should draw 0 per cent interest,
then If there were ever a deficit they
would float at par. But with delin
quent taxe due there need be no de
ficit. '
