BUILD THE
Ita is up to our city government to do its part toward building
an Armory and Auditorium for this city.
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.

BEEN VIOLATED.
That charter provides for a
class of expenditures shall be limited to the specific appropria
tion made for that specific purpose.
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

The case was one of the most baf

they were unable to determine as to
how the boy contracted the disease.
An examination of the body failed

parents were unable to offer any sug

examination of the boy's teeth

-Los Angeles, Calif., Dec. 17.
County officers today are Investigat
ing what Saunders Williams, a
Santa. Paula rancher, declares to bo
a modern adaptation of the ancient
race track wire tapping game, an.r
which he alleges Is operated through
a Ireless station at Redondo Beach.
As a result of Williams' charges.
William Lacey . and James Martin
were arrested under the "confidence
operator" clause of the vagrancy
statute, and Lacey was sentenced to
six' months In jail, following his
pleas of guilty.
Williams told the authorities that
soon after his arrival In Los Angeles
for a vacation he met Lacey, who
proposed a trip to Redondo Bench.
On the way to the beach, he said,
I.ncey to!d him of a system he had
evolved -of getting race tips' via
wireless, and later took him to tho
room where the apparatus war In
stalled. "I made some small bets on the
strength of these tips," sold Wil
liams, "and always won. Finally I
bet $500, giving a draft for tha
amount. I won again and then tho
men Instated that I should go to i
bnnk w(th them and prove that the
draft 'was all right lit fore they paid
me. I became suspicious and went
to the authorities.
Martin pleaded not guilty when
arraigned with Lacey. Ills trial was
not and he was released on $500

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
