THE DISPATCH received by Mayor
Bteoves yesterday from John II.
Patterson, chairman of tho relief
rommitteo of Dayton, Ohio, says:
"Situation in Dayton appalling, llolp
in urgently needed AT ONCfi to feed
and roostnblish our peoplo in thoir
homos. Wo aro compelled to focd the
entire population as the supplies of ourltablo. If it does not know the value
crty cost it; what it is worth, and if it
wants to play fair, can give the figures
to tho city officials or committee on
very short notice. If it is not willing
to do this, then tho inference is also
fair that it wantB to get more for its
plant than it is worth, and would rather
take tho chance of tho engineers em
ployed by tho city over estimating thnt
cost, than to piny its hand down on the
local grooors aro practically exhausted.
Send remittances to VV. P. Bippus, secretary-treasurer
Dayton Citizens' Ho
lief committoe."
It will bo seen from this dispatch
thnt it is tho Immediate necessities that
must bo met, and tho situation in other
mailer towns is proportionally as bad.
Tn view of thin situation would it not
be well to change the plans regarding
Palom's contribution and forward tho
money by wire, rather than send sup
plies as has been intended. The send
ing supplies is all right and but for the
urgent need of immediate help would
perhaps bo tho bettor plan, hut with
tho urgent call for aid at once, it strikes
us that tho plans of tho relief commit
tee on tho grounds rather than our own
honld provail. They know what is
needed, they see, feel and realizo the
needs of tho situation, and they tell us
to wiro our contributions to them. They
can buy food at nearer points, whero
it can bo procured much rnoro quickly,
and they will get exactly whnt they
want. For this renson it seems the
proper thing to do, to accede to tho re
quest of the Dayton people, forwnrd
tho money rather (hnn the supplies,
liesides the money should be divided,
some going to Indiana, somo to Ohio,
and not nil to Dayton. Sending the
money, it can he divided, sending the
supplies, they would neecsnnrily go to
some ono point for distribution if noth
ing else. Wo bcliovo tho sentiment at
those who Contributed tho money is thnt
it should bo forwarded at onco. The
half car of prunes can be sent Inter,
and Kalcm can certainly raise tlie mon
ey for that in addition to the amount
already collected, for thero are many
who aro willing to give, and who will
(five frooly.
body knows is a reliable citizeu.one of
the best, and pays the bill, which is,
say $300. Now here 1s where the joker
comes in. Before the lot was paved,
John was assessed and paid taxes on a
$.r)00 valuation. When tho assessor
comes around after the street has been
paved, and notices the natty appearance
of things, ho cheerfully remarks that
tho street paving has added at least
$")00 to tho valuo of John Smith 's lot,
and thereafter Johnny coughs up to the
sheriff the sum required for taxes on
the $1000. In other words, Mr. Smith
(that's what ho is in the tax collector's
office) pays tho tax on his $500 lot,
and also pays the tax on the $500 which
the city has invested in paving for him.
This is whero tho paving business
makes tho highway weed bill sing
small. It is a scheme by which the
city can add several hundred thousand
dollars to the valuo of its own streets
and make tho property ownors, the
John Smith family, pay the taxes on
property owned by tho city. In a senso
tho property is worth more, but it is so
only because John Smith has invested
$")00 in tho city street, and not in his
own property, and tho juirchaser of the
property could not be mado to bear the
oxpenso over again for a few years
provided tho contractor's work was all
right. It seems to work all right, and
seems to bo about the only plan under
which paving can bo done, but it cer
tainly docs seem a strange way of do
ing business.

With at least 50 excursionists accom
panying the troupe, tho Y. M. C. A.
minstrels will go to Wilverton tonight to
put on their big comedy for tho dejec
tion of tho entertainment-loving people
of tho neighboring town. Enough tick
ets for tho porformanco have already
been sold, it is said, to assuro a crowded
house. Many tickets havo been sold in
Salem, a single special ticket providing
fare on tho train and a seat in the opera
bouse.
The special train will leave Trade
and Commercial streets at 6 o'clock,
and will return imcrndiatelv after the
conclusion of the performance, The
round trip fare is .10 cents. Tho fare
does not include a ticket to tho show.
Tuesday night tho minstrels gave
their show before a big audience at the
state penitentiary where they wero re
ceived with much enthusiasm. The
jokes of the blaekfnce comedians wero
well received, and tho applauso that
greeted the songs showed that tho sing
ers were highly appreciated.

THE PEOPLE HAVE REBELLED.
MAYOR BTKHVKS is doing the
right in urging the immediate so
lution of tho Salem water prob
lem. When water costs a family more
than its bread, tho cost of water is too
high. Tho cost for water to tho family
for a year is with tho rebates of 10 per
tent $1.80 a month, or $21.(10 a year. To
this thero is an added clinrgo for sprink
ling in ease the family has a homo with
a littlo yard of $1.00, or a total of
L'.V liO. This is tho very least charge
lit which the resident inn get his year's
tipply of water. The company should
liavn a fair return on its investment
over nnd above the operating expenses
It should have over and above this a
fund to cover ilclcrinrnl inn. When thin
is dune, the company cannot complain,
and the company in order lo arrive at
just niul honest rates must know not
only its operating expenses, but the
tnliio of its plant, Pees the company
know thisf Well you won't lose any
money by wagering thnt it does. The
company knows exactly what its plant
bus rust it. If it does not, how can it
fix its rales in justice to itself, or in
fnirneis to the community J If it does
mil know the value of its plant, it can
only charge enough to be on the safe
side and this leaves entirely too wide
a margin fur it as a cold blooded busi
ness proposition,
llenco it Is fair to assume that the
company knows exactly what its prop-
they will bo permitted to do so, but
otherwise lluy will ignore it, nnd go
ahead on their own account, They may
pii.i a fair price for the property, but
they eoitiiinly will not pay an exorbi
tant one,
Tho mayor and city council, if they
havo their cars to tho ground, already
know this, and if tho water company
does not, it will by a littlo listening be
able to hear a runiblo that indicates' a
relielliou that would make tho Moxiean
revolutions look like a Sunday school
picnic. ,
JOHN SMITH, PA VINO AND TAXES.
TPlIR UKf'KNT legislature had before
I it a bill to compel owners of land
abutting on public highways, to
keep said highways irco of woods, bull
thistles and such. Tho Capital Journal
pointed out at the time, that this law
would compel a man to koep tho woods
off another man's proporty, or at least
off property belonging to the public, and
not to him. It struck us at tho timo as
being a roninrkably absurd piece of
legislation, but nfter observing the
working of tho street paving business,
the weed bill above mentioned seems
rather n back number.
Here in Sali and we presume it is
the same in all other towns where pav
iug is done, it is the same, tho property
ow ner gets it a plenty both mn i and
coming, mid incidentally wli;i. doing
neither. To illustrate, suppose tho Woll
known citizen, John Smith, owns a lot
worth $."i00. The city, moved by the
spirit of progress anil a petition of ono
third of the property owners on that
street, counted by their feet, not heads,
thnt is by the number of feet of prop
erty they own on the street, empowers
the council to order the street paved.
Mere, for a starter, is a caso of tho mi
nority bossing the majority, but that
is not the point we are getting at,
which Is, that after tho one-third plus
the city council, havo overridden the
other two-thirds, among whom is the
said John Smith, and have ordered the
street paved, the bill or his portion of it
is made out to John. John as cverv-
ideas, and so send the money rather
than provisions.
It is stated in tho dispatches thnt
Senator Lane's private secretary, F. S.
Meyers is to bo given tho position of
postmaster at Portland. Is it a case
of lovo, or does the senator just want
to get rid of his secretary!
Some folks think Senators Chamber
lain nnd Lane, are slow about making
their selection for federal officers in
tho stnte. Lano ran afford to go slow
and perhaps fleorgo can for ho will only
be bothered with such things for about
23 months longer.
