At the meeting on Monday evening of the city council there was a full attendance and a number of ciitaens as visitors. The meeting was the most peaceful since the advent of new offic ials. A number of matters were dis cussed quite fully especially the mo tion of Alderman Strain that a new system of bookkeeping be adopted so that the members of the auditing committee could ascertain the condi tion of funds and how near self-sus taining the various departments were. Also to show the authority for the various bills presented and for what purpose they were needed. A motion was carried that to encourage the greater lighting of the city streets all residences that were equipped with porch lights or will be so equipped could be taken off the meter and the city would furnish current free for all night service if parties would agree to turn off same in morning.

One western town comes out as a prosperous community ulong what many will call regular rube methods, neglecting high finance methods. The city shows 20,00 population by census returns yet has not increased its bonded debt or raised taxes but has paid off debts. This Rube among western cities has well kept streets, and all departments maintained in very good condition and raised some salaries. For the past two years tax levies have been reduced, ami are now two mills below the millage of 1915, and 1920 budget below 1919. This Rube town gives the lie to nine-tenths of the pleadings and ex cuses for doubling the tax rates and the high cost of government. Salem, Oregon, is on a cash basis, and aldermen voting to create deficits in excess of budget provisions are per sonally liable. NG REDUCTION IN BUICK PRICES Note Following Telegram.

When Wt Jiggs and Dinty. A jolly, rollicking, tuneful show in “Bringing Up Father at the Seashore,” which will be seen at the Victory Theatre on Monday, May 23rd. The droll characters made famous in the columns of the principal newspapers throughout the country through Geo. McManus will be presented in the flesh, including the henpecked Jiggs Mahoney, his militant better two thirds, Maggie, and Dinty Moore. Jiggs i 3 the same jolly old rascal who is perpetually trying to slip from the watchful eyes of his shrewish Maggie, or trying to smuggle in to his home Dinty M ore or some other old pal of his beloved hod-carrying or pick-ap plying fraternity of former days. Jiggs does not forget his admiration for the girls, and Maggie is kept busy as the sentinel over the impressive heart of her frivolous spouse. The manage ment promises a big cast of well known musical comedy players, and a very \ttractive chorus.
