Show SHOULD PAWGUITCH ISSUE j BONDS Down in Parguitch the people realize that they need better school facilities and are discussing the question of erecting a central school building such I as the needs of the town demand A question that confronts the citizens is whether they shall raise the means necessary to do this by levying taxes for that purpose or whether they shall issue bonds for that purpose It is a question for the people of Panguitch to I decide but whichever way they decide they should bear in mind that it is still a question of taxes If bonds are issued I Is-sued there must be taxes levied to pay the interest on them and when they become be-come duo there must be more taxes levied to pay them So it is a question of policy after all If we were living in Panguitch we should advocate the levying of a tax for the erection of a school building and oppose issuing bonds And we would do this for this reason While the tax would be heavy to bear for the time being still when the school building was completed it would be paid for and It would be behind the people and not before them If bonds should be issued is-sued the debt would be all before them Not only this but the bad habit of anticipating an-ticipating the towns income would have been contracted and the ease with which the money came would bean be-an inducement to extravagance and running in debt It Is just as bad for a city or town to run in debt as for an individual it begets the same reckless ways and tends to kill that spirit of economy and frugality which is the essential thing to all financial and business success We sincerely hope that Panguitch will build a new school house ample I for all its wants and eas sincerely hope that the good people of that town will not issue I bonds to do It they will show strcnijth of character and wisdom wis-dom by assessing themselves to pay M for it now When people begin to bond their town they become bondmen and cease to be freemen Yesterday at Indianapolis Judge Baker Ba-ker of the United States court refused to restrain the United States marshal from discharging his office deputies and employing men of his own selection selec-tion in their stead says the Baltimore American On the same day at Wheeling Wheel-ing W Va Judge Jackson of the United States court granted a restraining restrain-ing order prohibiting the removal of gaugers and others by the collector Here we have directly opposite decisions deci-sions by the federal courts upon similar sim-ilar facts Judge Jackson granted a restraining order on the ground that the removals were not made in accordance accord-ance with civil service rules but a previous decision made in Washington Washing-ton had denied the power of one administration ad-ministration to bind its successor by regulations or the power of a commission commis-sion to make rules invalidating the power of appointment and removal lodged in officials |
