Do you want to be informed by means of an advertisement as in the past or do you want to see a little money saved? It's your tax money that will be spent. What's your preference THIS WAS BOVGHT Well, for the first time, we are writing a piece for this column for which, as you might put it, pay has been offered. No one, so far as we can remember, has ever had the temerity to offer anything of the sort before and it may seem strange (hat on this first occasion we should fall.

But have charity and before you condemn us hear our story. It was our friend, Bob Fox, (Postmaster Robert H. Fox, officially) who came to us with the proposition and we accepted his offer more for the purpose of helping him than on account of the personal gain. Here is the story. Over at the post office a new method of sending small sums of by mail is now in operation.

It takes the place of the former postal money order and has been devised for the purpose of simplifying things both for the office and its customers. Instead of filling out a money order application and having a postal clerk then go through all the detail of making out the order the customer buys a so-called postal note (actually it is a stamp) for the amount of money he wishes to mail, attaches it to a card that he gets with the stamp, writes in the name and address of the payee nnd mails it. Before giving him the card the clerk who sold the stamp has written in three places on the card the value of the stamp (the top size is $10) and imprinted in three places with a rubber stamp the name of the post office and the date. That's all he has had to do. The customer pays five cents for the service whatever the size of the note.

There are lines on the back where the purchaser writes in 4 Piece II.B. 335 OR S.B. 195? We lack a copy of the constitution of the League of Oregon cities but if there is anything in it that juntfie.1 the effort now being made by its officers to whittle away the structure of the local budget law we think the constitution should be amended to remove that justification or the league disbanded. The budget law has been on the statute books for over 20 years. Its purpose is to bring tax payer participation into the business of budget making and to provide a means by which the tax paying public can be informed regarding the expenditures that are to be made possible by taxation.

That means has been the required publication of the estimates that the budget makers have agreed upon. When the law was new and before it had been interpreted the estimates were presented in a detail since decided to be unnecessary.

All were relatives of the Boyer family. Mrs. Charles Boyer went to Portland with her husband one day last week.

Boyer hauled a load of lumber there. Mr. and Mrs. E. F.

Harris and brother, Tom Harris, of Weiser, Idaho, have moved to Sisters to live. Mr. and Mrs. Harris are the parents of Mrs. Charles Boyer.

Gilbert Boyer has been very 111 from an attack of pneumonia. Mr. and Mrs. Franklin Potter went to Sweet Home over the weekend. i Mrs.

James Bowles is home from the hospital with her baby son. Mrs: Margaret Owens, a welder at Swan island, spent Sunday at the home of her sister, Mrs. Lane Fillmore. Mr. and Mrs.

George Stills and Mr. and Mrs. Dave Stills spent the weekend in Burns. A birthday party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Roland Gridley at the Willow ranch Saturday evening. Three birthdays were celebrated at one time, those of Mrs. Faye Goff, Mrs. Thalmo Gridley and Mrs. Mildred Fillmore.

Other guests present were William Goff, Roland Gridley, Lone Fillmore, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gridley. Mr. and Mrs.

Dick Walters. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Hearshey and Mr. and Mrs.

She has left for Oakland, where she will be employed and will stay with her sister-in-law, Mrs. David Zumwalt. Miss Zumwalt received many beautiful and useful gifts from her friends. Norma Enscore is employed in Redmond working at the Co-operative creamery. June Dobkins spent the weekend in Redmond and attended the dance at the community hall Saturday night.

his name and there is a coupon on which he may make a law but when the Yamhill county court sought, under the amended statute, to present only a meagre set of figures as its budget estimates the supreme court rebuked it and, in ettect, left the law as originally enacted. Still desiring clarification the state association of finance ofncei-K, cooperating with a committee from the Oregon newspaper publishers association, has worked for the past 18 months in the preparation of a new budget measure and it was introduced by Representative Marsh, the speaker, on February 2 as house bill No. 335. This measure clears up record, if he wishes, of the person to whom and for what he sent the stamp. This, course, is to be detached before mailing.

The stamp itself is on another coupon which is to be detached at the office where the stamp is cashed and only there. This is important. The payee signs on the face of the note when he receives payment. Bob Fox wanted to get the story of this new postal note over to the public and he wanted us to do it for him. So that we might know just what we were writing about he bought a stamp, made the note out to the paper, went through all the rest of the procedure and then brought the note to us.

It lies on the table beside us as we write. And there you have the story of the new postal note and of the first time we have taken anything for a piece in this column. It's only a 50 cent stamp, at that. P.S. We are giving the note to a stamp collector who may like Bob Fox's autograph, aa well.

It meets the objections to the TJ43 amendment raised by the supreme court decision. And now comes the League of Oregon cities with a proposal (senate bill No. 195) that would get around the decision and provide for the publication of estimates such as those for which the Yamhill court drew the rebuke. The league officers will urge that their measure provides that the estimates and original estimate sheets shall be on fife and open to public inspection, thus providing all needed opportunity for interested tax payers to get details, and they will assert that newspapers, such as this, that support hosue bill 3B5 and oppose senate bill 195 do so on account of their financial interest in the use of large advertising space.

They will urge that their desire is to save advertising cost. Our reply is that our interest is providing the tax payers with the full details of the proposals that their servants are making' for spending their tax money. The record of this column is a fairly good think, on saving money for the tax payer by means of critical inspection of published budgets. We think that the public should be informed of its iffairs by the publication of budgets and tax proposals. How about getting into this yourself you, the reader of these words.

If you think it's a desirable thing to continue to budgets about as they have been published in the past and if you think house bill or something like it should be passed write us and say so. We'll pass the word along to the legislature.
