BONDING FOR CURRENT EXPENSES.
A bad precedent is being followed by the Salem City Council
in seeking to get the people to authorize a bond issue for current
expenses.
. In the first place these deficits have been created by ignoring
a provision of the city charter which says that aldermen Bhall not
create deficits. '
The charter specifically provides that when aldermen disburse
money in excess of the budget appropriation for a particular
purpose they shall be liable personally.
The city finds itself with $25,000 to $35,000 deficit at the end
of a few years of progressive administration, and It is proposed
to resort to a bond Issue.
Of course, if the people vote down a bond issue, warrants will
probably be at a discount, and the old conditions before the
Hayseed administration' will recur.
Then warrants drew six per cent interest, and sold at a dis
count, and each year there was a greater deficit piled up against
the city, and finally bonds had to be issued.
The popularity of the armory proposition might carry with it
a bond issue for other purposes, but the people will bitterly op
pose 4ssulng-bonds for current expenses. " ' 1
At Haverhill, Mass., a Commission government was installed
a year ago, and from a deficit of $37,000 the Commission comes
out with a surplus of $20,000. .
.'"Allowing good intentions on the part of the mayor and coun
cil there was no warrant In the present charter, and the deficit
is clearly without warrant of law, ' '
Alderman Lachmund, Carsou and Hill went on record against
a bond issue for a deficit for current expenses, and Aldermen
Hatch, Moffett and Low were absent.
There is. still opportunity to keep the city on a cash basis and
not engage in the hazardous trick of bonding . for current ex
penses, by ordering a levy to pay the bills.
"'There is not much excuse forissuing bonds for the Armory,
but there is none whatever for a bond issue for current expense
Unless this is stopped there will be a bond issue proposed fol
lowing the windup of each yenr'f, business.
The people will absolutely refuse to vote bonds for a deficit for
current expenses. -
Jf necessary, spread tho deficit levy over two years.
' ORGANIZE WITHOUT FACTIONS. '
The attempt to "inject a factional fight io tha organization Of
the legislature is a political mistake.
The selection of Ben Selling for president of the senate and
Henry McKinney as speaker of the house would be fair and right
And would eliminate any factional fight.
Mr. Selling is a leader of the progressive policies inaugurated
by the people of Oregon the Direct Primary law and the Direct
election of U. S. senators.
' Mr. McKinney was an Assemlly nominee in his county, but ia
a clean anti-Machine young Republican who comes off the farm
n honest living, and not out of politics.
The time has come for the professionals to let go and allov
men who are willing to recogni vers of the people to
determine matters, and who will play politics squarely.
The Capital Journal believes that an organization of the legis
lature with such men presiding over both houses would save tho
taxpayers half a million dollars.
Those who imagine they canplay politics on the old lines are
mistaken, just as they were mistaken in putting the party in the
attitude ot opposing popular reforms.
An old-iashion grafting legislature is an abomination.
o
. THE DEMAND FOR ORIGINAL JURISDICTION.
Tho amendment adopted by the people, if it means anything,
means to give courts rights they did not possess before.
; It seems there are now some unfortunate persons lying in jail
to whom no court will give consideration.
The right to a habeas corpus is practically suspended - be
cause it takes months and years to get an appeal.
Men lie in jail on a voidable judgment, but cannot get their
rights heard, and this is an outrage on Justice. ' '
It amounts to practical suspension of the right to trial and to
gpeedy Justice In all kinds of criminal cases.
The opinion of Justice King la that, under the new amend
ment,, the supreme court is required to take original jurisdiction
- This applies td such cases as where prisoners ire lying in jail
and cannot get an appeal and'earinot give bail for'triaL' !
There is something radically wrong ' with A social system
where only poor men get into jail, and then cannot .have trial.
.. . ' " o
PROGRESS AT BAKER CITY.
The metropolis of Baker county Ras adopted the Commission
form of city government.
A Mayor and two Commissioners are elected by the city at
large, and serve on a salary.
The ward system of representation is done away with, and
there is ho city legislature. ' " ' ' '" ."
The Mayor receives $2500 per year and the Commissioners
receive $2000 each per year.
They put in all their time, and the Mayor is executive head of
the city, with veto power.
The people have the powers of Direct Legislation and the
.power of the recall and referendum.
One of the commissioners Is head of the water and sanitary
fli'partmcnt, including fire service.
The other commissioner is at the head of the street depart
ment, including sewers, bridges and sidewalks.
Tho mayor names the police, and has charge of the financial
f .,!icy of the city.
Other cities in Oregon are preparing to install the Commission
fyvicn.

Every play staged in a Los Angeles

criticisms of a board of municipal
censors, according to plana being
considered today by. Prosecuting At

that a play at a local house thli
week be parted upon by' the guar-'
dlans of the city's morals was re
sented by the managers of the play
house. Eddie partially pacified
them by announcing that In aU prob

Including those draped In the long
est skirts, will be trimmed by tho
critics for the benoflt ot the city's
