BECOMING TOO GREEDY.
. 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. An inventory of the
supplies on hand in the fire department and in the street
ipartment is being required for the first time, yet few

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. Judg-!
ing from items of county expense that are filtering out of,
late, their salaries were not what they were working for,;
anyway. , j

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

else. Kugene has many factories mak
ing articles of everyday use, yet they
are compelled to look elsewhere for
their market. This is wrong.
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. This
is not surprising, in view (if the wide
spread resistance to this attempted in1
novation in our popular education.
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."
(iovernor Kdwnrd V. Dunne, of Illi
nois, In a letter addressed to the presi
dent of (he stale university, express
ed the conviction that the teaching of
sex hygiene "will induce rather (hail
suppress immorality nad uneliustity."
"Personally," jmd (iovernor Dunne,
"I would not permit my Vuiing nnd in
nocent daughters to be sent to either
a public, or private school whuro sex
hygiene is discussed in public, in their
henring nad in tiie hearing of childreu
of their tender nge."
Kx-Uovernor Joseph V. Folk, of MiB
souii, who is now such a prominent fig
ure in federal investigation work, is
on record as strongly opposed to this
proposed innovation. Hishop Charles
P. Anderson, of Chicago, Kev. (leorgo
l Williams, D. 1)., of Philadelphia, Su
perintendent liniicuvieri, of the Hnn
Francisco public schools, nnd President
Tierney, of Woodstock college, Mary
land, mo nmong the distinguished cler
gymen and educators who have regis
tered their protests; while the objec-"
tiuns advanced by such men as Or.
Howell T. Pershing, 1111 alienist of nation-wide
repute, and Dr. Hichard' C.
Cabot, of Harvard Medical school, urn
highly significant, coining as they do
from trained thinkers whose conclu
sions are based 011 critical observations.
Friends uf our public, schools should
hesitate long before indorsing a sub
ject that urmiscs such pronounced op
position from lending thinkers refire'
senting ninny shades of opinion, und
most sensible persons will no doubt
agree with those citizens who deplore
the hasty action of the l'nited States
commissioner of education in indorsing
teachings nnd theories that, if intro
duced into the public schools, would im
pair the usefulness of thes.0 institu
tions, liy impelling many conscientious
citizens to take their children from tho
public schools, ns tlovrnor Dunne (le
