Howlby, exe cutive officer of the Pacific Highway Commission Association, has Just Issued a bulle tin that is replete with Interesting information about the roads of Ore gon. In prefacing his tabulation, Ma jor Howlhy refers to the work of the legislature. 'Three months ago," he observed, "we lived In anticipation of the beneficlent laws we considered to be the most essential for good roads.

On the other hand, they traced In some of Mr. afhrgan's financial achievements something of the poetic Imagination, different In expression but the same in nature, of Johnl'lT pont. the poet. Mr. Morgau recently testlllcd under oath that on ouo oc casion he had lent a man, who h knew could give' no sort of security but his bare word, l.W,000, because he knew the man and as convinced that he could ntak- prolltnwo use 01 the money for both of them.

No general scheme of river Improvement and flood control for our large rivers would bavejnuch effect In averting calamities of this character. They are a penalty we pay for building our cities on low ground. Yet. while river Improvement can not do much to avert such sudden overflowing of the banks by small st roams, every facility for the quick passage of water from the Interior to the sea must have some effect In that direction. Certainly these Moods' and their terrible toll of life and property will stimulate sentiment for national river improvement and Hood control. TARIFF RADICALS President WH IN THE SADDL. son Is reported to have given his approval to the tariff bill which the IVniocrot will have ready for Introduction when Congress meets on April 7 and to have promised to push Its passage with the wJi'.-le Influence of the exe cutive department.

The executive bead of the Highway Association says: "A great step upward has been tak. en in the creation of the State High way Department in Oregon.

If this is not done trouble will follow when the results of the expenditure are gone and the people are forced to continue to pay for the bonds. The realization of our dream for a pas sable road to California by 1915 turns upon the efforts put forth by the counties through which the nlch way passes during the years of 1913 and 1914." of keeping It; a man with plenty of human sympathies in him despite the He Is and should be credited with sincerity In that attitude. Hut when we remember how potent an Instru ment of Influence patronage Is. and the existing Pemocratlc huugcr and thirst, we may be excused for some doubts as .to Mr. Wilson's ability to maintain that attitude. Krom the summaries wired from Washington it is evident that the rad ical of "tartff-forrevenue-only" see- I tlon of the Democracy Is in the saddle In the tariff-making business.
