The county puts up $9000, the city is asked for as much, and then the state pits up $18,000 toward the armory. The city of Albany has just completed a $40,000 Armory, and the least Salem can do is to follow suit. Money spent honestly for public improvements gives the tax payer something to show for his taxes paid. 1 Emolument expenditures give little or nothing that benefits anyone but the recipient. ',' Money spent on public improvements enriches the community and is spent on labor and ma-terial, and gets back among the people. ' , ' ' That budget should be trimmed of the last dollar of official perquisites, and revenues should be increased. All efforts should be concentrated on getting the money to en sure the construction of an Armory for the Capital City. o FKAUD IN THE INSURANCE LINE. Probably the biggest swindles perpetrated wholesale and , re--tail in this age are in the name of insurance. From babies to octogenarians, from brides to old women, the insurance lakirs are busy raking in the people's .money. There is such a thing as legitimate fire and life insurance, and the conduct of such business has become a science. It needs regulation at the hands of the state about as much as the sale of flour and the price of cotton goods. The annual report of the Oregon Insurance Commissioner re veals the extent of the swindles now conducted on the people. He shows that in thirty months 575 insurance corporations have been promoted, floated and financed in this country, ' Selling stocks in insurance companies has become as common as floating wild cat mining stocks. A number of these have been floated in Oregon and more are being organized to be pushed on the unsuspecting public. He says that there has been a rapid multiplication of mutual insurance companies that are not mutual, but collect premiums. They use the name and the form of the mutuirl company to do the same busines as the regularly licensed companies. The commissioner recommend more legislation to regulate wild-catting and over-production of speculative insurance. There are thirty-three fraternal insurance companies operat ing in Oregon, and he recommends legislation to regulate them. He opposes the regulation of fire rates, but cites the fact that the bill passed by the last legislature against pooling has re duced iiueM. On account of the anti-trust law enacted the people of Oregon ''are not being charged a seemingly higher rate than other states. The report recommends the creation of the office of state fire warden, a state insurance commission and a state insurance ex aminer. . ' L The report also asks that the '"uruts for this department be in ci eased from $10,000 to $15,000 ,c: annum. The Capital Journal proposes another issue to discuss the v i:y the publicity law is evaded y ai.ee companies of this i it. i, KIND OF MAN FOR STREET COMMISSIONER. The incoming city administration will have no more important -duty to perform than the selection of a competent street com missioner. , That office has the disbursement of a great deal of money, and the construction of a great deal of new work and the employ ment of a great deal of labor. , It should be placed in the hands of a practical man who has had some experience in contracting, employment of labor, and who understands general constr The city council 6hould not appoint some man merely because he has some political pull, as that kind of officials cost the people Nearly In the long run. ; The property owners do not object to large expenditures for streets and aewera and other public improvements if they get a . dollar's worth cf work done for the dollar. ; Then besides it should be good honest work, done under com petent supervision, and intelligent construction should enter into , the work when it la done. ., Incompetent supervision it the cause of three-fourths of the objections against street and sewer work, and the cause of near ly all the litigation against the city. A practical man who knows how public work should be done, ; and who, will do it just as conscientiously as he would a private -contract, would make a good street commissioner. 1 .. It is folly to expect a man who knows nothing of contracting or construction work to superintend laying down of good streets, 4 good sewers, good crosswalks, or even sidewalks. , JIOW THE CHARTER HAS The attempt to spread the present deficit in our city affairs over four years is not founded op facts. . Last January there was a deficit of about ten thousand dol lars, the first official appearanceof a deficit. Now it has grown to from $25,000 to $35,000, and it has Sjrown up in violation of the provisions of the charter. y r I f llzxd headaches. Dizzy, sick HlPfluflCnPS headaches.

But it seems no provision was made for, increasing demand for bridges. There is no excuse to continue running the city still mgre in debt and creating a deficit that will require a bond issue. The present council should frame a budget and levy a tax to meet it, and levy another tax to pay the deficit already created. Let the people and the taxpayers assume the responsibility for their public servants, and then hold the public servants resoon sible. ' There, must be responsibility .kjxo somewhere, and the city h.vld again be got on a cash basis and the charter complied vitn. ' X-RAYS AND SMILES.

The case was one of the most baf fling which has ever come under the observation of local physicians, as they were unable to determine as to how the boy contracted the disease. An examination of the body failed to reveal a single wound or scratch that might have caused It, and bis parents were unable to offer any sug gestions which would assist the phy sicians In determining the cause. An examination of the boy's teeth showed that many of them were bad ly decayed, and one of the attending physicians suggested tht this was a possible cause for the disease.

WILL TEST LEGALITY OF THE LAW NEW YORK GAMIILERS WILL MAKE DETERMINED EFFORTS TO SET ASIDE THE HUGHES' BETTING LAW AND RESTORE RACE TRACK GAMBLING. VNITBD rSISS LS1SBD WINS. New York, Dec. 17 A suit to test the legality of the Hughes anti race gambling law which it Is con fidently expected will restore racing to its old footing In New York, will be tried here, probably tomorrow. The complaint, which will be filed by a taxpayer, butwlll be fostered by Jockey Club, will assail the legal ity of the apportionment under which the senate passing the bills was con stituted. If the apportionment should be de clared Illegal the result will be the Invalidating of the Hughes law. If the apportionment be held legal, It will mean an end of racing in the Empire state, as there Is no chance of the next legislature repealing the anti-racing law 3. Now leaders of 'he legislature, however, It Is said, have promised that no new restrictive legislation will be passed. The tip Is out that racing will be resumed and the racing men are pre paring for an opening of the season May 1. TRYING TO SETTLE FOOTBALL SQUABBLE i;nitd pbess lsjsid wins.
