ASSESSMENTS ABE UNEQUAL. s THE CAPITAL JOURNAL dislikes very much to be drawn into con troversies over public improve monts, but conditions are such that no public improvement can bo mentioned without reusing ructions. Yet it seems this cannot bo avoided. The Capital Journal, as it lias repeated ly said, and as it now reiterates, has no feeling against any man in Salom, public official or other, but one of Its duties as a newspaper is to give publicity to all maters of interest to its readers, and to voice for the public complaints against what that public thinks unwise or unjust measures. The community paper, in a sense, belongs to the com munity. It is their mouthpiece. It re ccrds their joys, their sorrows, births, weddings and deaths, keeps them in formed of all that is going on in the community. Through it they tell to thoir friends of births and deaths, mar riages and happenings, social events, everything they caro to let their friends know about, and it is through the community paper alone that thoy are able to give their views on public natters, and to voice their complaints. If in doing those things, a newspa per offends some, it cannot bo avoided, for men agree on few things. Monday Mrs. Rosa Markiovitch ask ed us to look Into certain street paving affairs, anil help ner to get relief, from what she considers unjust treatment by the city council, or its committees. The lady says she has placed the matter be fore some of the councilmen, and the city engineer, but has been put off and given no satisfaction. Ilor complaint is in substance that she is overcharged for street improve ments, and she makes this showing. She ' ilization, owns property fronting on North Front street, just south of Division street, and on the west side of Front. The lots along the west side of Front streot, she says, are all 82 by 82 feet. The corner lot Division and Front on the south side is owned by 8. E. limit. The as sessment for paving against this lot is "li.1.80. She owns tha adjoining lot on the south, it having tho same frontage as Mr. Hunt's, ami her assessment is 434.70. Tho lot adjoining hers to the south, same frontage as hers, is as sessed at .118 to $.127, she is not cer tain. The next lot to that south of the latter, same size, belonging to C. 8. Rose, is assessed at $.100. This assess ment she claims is unjust to her, and H certainly seems to bo on her showing. Hhe ennnot understand why the cor ner lot tho same sir.o as hers is as sensed at 2i)!i.80, tho lot to tho south of her property at .118.50, while her prop erty is taxed at $134.70. She is taxed 1.10.70 more thnn tho lot adjoining her to the north, and about 11.1 more thnn the lot adjoining her to the south, yet all three lots have the same frontage. On tho face of the returns, sho is un justly treated and has a kick coming, and that Is why the Capital .lourns! cheerfully makes said kick for her. If the conditions are as she claims, they should be remedied, and if there Is any real reason for this difference in charge for the same work, it should ,be ex plained to her. It is not probnblo this will bo done so long as Councilman Stols is at the head of the street com mittee. The Capital Journal sent a re porter to this gentleman this morning, who told him the paper wnnted to treat him and all concerned with absolute fair ness) and asked him to explain the mat tor, instead of getting any Informa tion, the reporter was told that The Capital Journal was not fit for decent people to rend, which statement and opinion ta probably what causes Coun cilman Stolz to peruse it. He also got an evasive statement from Concilman Stolz that explained nothing, only that the Honorable Chairman of tho street eommittco was positive the work was done during Mayor Rogers' term and that Engineer Skolton was in charge of tho work, which is a mistake as the work ended last August under Mayor Lachmuud. Ho also made an extended comment on the Capital Journal gener ally which would undoubtedly make pungent and spicy reading if it didn't scorch the paier or set fire to the press. However, if that little outburst of tem per relieved tho Hon. Gideon's feelings, we have no objection and suggest that be do it some more. Maybe he could get a better' mix on it next timo. It is up to the council to see that justice is done Mrs. Markicvitch, for it is a cer tainty that neither the members of tho city council nor the other city officials wish to do the lady an injustice or work a hardship on her. DISTRICT SCHOOL MEETING DAY OTERINTENDENT of Public In struction Alderman calls attention to the fact that the annual school meetings of the state will be hold June 10th, next Monday, and urg es the people generally to attend them. Mr. Alderman is eminently correct in insisting that it is ono of the most im portant day in the year, but at the same time the most neglected one.- Ho says "tho peoplo get In any form of govern ment about what they demand " and the attendance at the annual school meeting or rather the lack of attendance, shows that in educational matters the people are demanding nothing. This is far from being as it should bo. Tho public school is of vital importance to our civ- The education of our children surely is a mattor that requires more than just voting money for the main tenance of schools, and turning our children ovor to teachers In whom we take no interest, and whom most of us do not oven know. If the teachers took no more interest in the schools than the parents do, the public schools would soon becomo utterly useless. It is tho duty of ovcry citizen to at tend tho annual school meeting, get ac quainted with conditions, know the kind of building his children are housed in, what sort of conveniences are supplied them, what conditions surround them, in fact be fully informed as to all mat ters pertaining to tho school or schools of their district. As theso annual meet ings arc practically ignored, being at tended generally by tho board of di rectors, tho school clerk and tho teach ers, they are not calculated to work up any grent amount of enthusiasm on the pnrt of either school officials or teach ers. This should be changed. Take an hour or two off next Monday and at tend tho school meeting. Get acquaint ed with tho teachers to whom you have entrusted your children's education Givo the teachers tho little encourage ment at least, of knowing that you are really interested In your children's ed ucation. Tho school teacher's work is onerous, wearying and worrying. It is an occupation requiring the nicest tact, the studying and understanding of chll dron and their management, and they surely deservo the little compliment of your attendance, and tho encouragement of your presence, Try It next Monday, that time. They are no longer so. The old chicken shed now doing duty as a depot should be pensioned and retired. It has seen Salem grow from a country village of a thousand or two people, In to a thrifty city of nearly 20,000. It has stood faithfully down by the old railroad track and seen its fellow shacks up town give place to six and seven story brick blocks. It is time for it to be retired and for the Southern Pacific to put up a depot that is not offensive to the sight. Here at the capital city of the state, strangers alighting from an S. P. train imagine they have struck some barn, for the old depot hos most of the crude elements of a barn with few of the latters conveniences and com forts. There are some rumors of the S. P. changing its depot site, locating it up nearer the center of town, but as to this, it is so far only rumors. If it is done well and good, but as there is no cer tainty of this , this great big corpora tion ought to get down to business prin ciples and exercise a little business sense. It owns a line of railroad between Portland and Salem. Tt has a rival in the Oregon Electric which has its of fices up town and convenient, and is doing most of the passenger business between this city and Portland. The S. P. not only owns this railroad, but it owns the Salem street car lines. One would think that in its own interest it would connect its street car lines with its main line, down at the venerable old woodshed doing duty as a depot, and make it reasonably convenient for pas sengers desiring to go to Portland to reach its trains. Instead of this its street cars dump you off a block away from the old depot. People do not have to patronize the S. P. and so long as no efforts are made by it to provide for their comfort or convenience, they will eontinuo to patronize the Oregon Elec tric. THE DEPOT IS A DISGRACE AI.EM is long suffering and full of patience. More than 40 years ago Hen llolliday and the O. ft C, bunch built their line of rrllroad into Salem. It was a village then, and the conveniences In the way of a passenger depot wore sufficient for s f THE OPEN FORUM The Capital Journal invites pub Do discussion In this department Let both sides ot all matters be fully brought out It Is not the purpose of this newspaper to do the thinking for It readers. The City Must Act Eil. Journal: You are right in pro testing against re-advertising the sower bonds. Hundreds of dollars have been spent in Eastern newspapers, and the money is wasted. The mayor and city attorney have foiled to take the first step to give them jurisdiction to sell the sower bonds. They were issued by a people's initiative amendment to the charter, by which the city assumes the loins agninst the abutting property. That step has been authorized by the people, but flint step has not been taken by tho city administration. An ordi nance must be passed assuming the sew er liens on tho part of tho city govern ment. Until that is done the liens arc against the property of the citizens. Tho city has no authority to sell he bonds until the city assumes the liens to cancel which the bonds are pro, vided. An ordinance assuming the sew er bond Issue would clear all our prop erty of the cloud on the titlo created by the sewer assessment. Alter that is done tho city can sell tho bonds. You are right in calling down the admin istration for further delaying action. E. IIOFER. Hots We Are With the Best Values lilt! tl . JUS!,.

(Continued from Monday) "Many persons do not realize these things. May be they have tried one church or another or many and have not yet found one in which they can feel at home. Outside the many thon- sands who go to church because thev iikb n or uecuuse mey Deueve it to be their duty, there are many thou sands who do not go not because they are necessarily wicked or depraved, but because they have not found the church and the preacher and the con gregation to enlist their sympathies and make them want to go. "The great purpose of all churches is to bring theso people in . Everybody reads advertising. If this were not a pretty well established fact the present topic would never have come up for discussion in fact there wouldn't be an Air" Club in Seattle or anywhere else. Everybody does not read every advertisement, but every good advertisement of a good thing appearing in a publication that holds the confidence of its readers is bound to bring results. "By advertising not noisily, not in competition with one another, not by taking great spaces, but decently and reverently the church may well hope to inspire in the public mind the same , conrnlence that every honest, legiti. ! mate advertiser inspires in himself and in what ho has to offer. And certainly the churches, offering the Greatest Thing in the World, could not fail by such advertising to get good results." The clergymen have admitted that newspaper advertising is proper paid publicity for the churches, and here is a professional man touching on certain phases of church life which may well be advertised. It seems time that the leading churches of Salem could, with profit to themselves, employ an adver tising writer who would make as logi cal and effective an appeal in behalf of the churches as is made daily iu the columns of the Salem newspapers for various corporations and private in dustries. I should like to see sharp, well-written and attractive church ads tried out by the Salem churches.
