The recent move of the city council to require a requi sition from departmental heads before goods or supplies are purchased in the name of the city is a step in the direc tion of a business administration and will put an end to some indiscriminate buying. The fact that this rale has never been in force in Salem is indicative of the primitive methods that have prevailed in the past, not only in Salem but in other cities of the country.

Between nine hundred and a thousand savings banks in the state of Kansas have nearly a hundred and seven teen millions of deposits, not to mention the big amount the farmers have deposited in automobiles and modern farm machinery.

BUYING AT HOME. we always knew it and were always for it.

It is somewhat comforting to know that such methods and the popular response to them are not peculiar to our time and country. More interesting than all else is the fact that Rev. Billy's accusers and condemnors have been compelled to take a long step backward. He has evolved the "freak" chrysalis. LITTLE BOBBIE'S PA Senator Bingham, of Lane county, is undoubtedly on the right track in fathering a bill to limit the tax levying power of the counties. It is well known by all who have studied the question of taxation carefully that the state levy is only a small part 'of the taxpayers' burden. The really heavy cost of government comes from county and J!'" Ht'hool levies, and it is Senator Bingham's idea that the, "ah. county courts, as well as the state officials, should be forced to prune their budgets carefully and exercise the greatest possible economy in expenditures. It is to be hoped that the proposed measure will pass the legislature and become a law. The Lane county commissioners threaten to resign if their pay is cut to a day but. they won't do it.

V. D. Uorer was absolutely right when he asserted at the annual meet ing of tne l.ano rounty Credit associa tion night before last that the practice of billing away from home is against good public policy. When a dollar that might be kept lit home is sent away it is exactly the same as bidding a gortl customer good-bye, lor it will do the community no more goad. Trading at home is one of the first principles of good business, Mail (i.der house buying is a custom that should be checked if tlm homo' loiuciunity is to be built up ns it should he, but it is by 110 means the only "buy away from home" evil, Ku irene. lor instance, brings iu I'roni, else where over $1110 Vinth of butter every dnv and sells it in competition wilii the butter that is made here.

The home merchant thunders against the mail order house, lie. tells and tells truthfully of tiie damage that is done to home development, by buying at puints that are tar removed from the buyer's home, lie is light in hi contention, for mail order house buy ing is a menace to local posperity.

The Tinted States commissioner of edticntiiin has of late come in for con siderable criticism, because of an en dorsement, in his recent iinuiiiil report, of sex hygiene for public schools.

Leading statesmen, educators, clergy men, and even physicinns of national reputation, are on record us being 1111 ciiiuprnniisiiig in their opposition, Kx l'resident Tuft, In addressing the gr,;d iintes of the l'ii Tee Itusiuess Hchool ot Philadelphia, held that pursuit of edu cation in sex hygiene is full of dan gers, if rarried on in the general pub lie schools. "I deny," he said, "that the so-called prudlsliiiess and avoidance of nasty subjects ill the Inst generation has ever blinded aay substniitinl num ber of girls or boys to the wickedness I ot vice, or made them easier victims of tentplntiou."
