A men they ate. in the main, honest, law-abi'ini: and hatd wntkint But n builder of road, they have JctnontrateJ tne-r own failure. The buinrk of building a cd highway ii a whith ahoulJ not be left with men having no more than a pawing acquaint ance with road engineering. The remedy offered by Representative Weeki is powible and inip!e. He would leave the nutter of road constructing entirely with a roadma ter, who would have the power in every county to appoint deputies He would buy machinery, without the prcent duplication; would run the af fair of hi department with efficiency combined with common sense, often lacking now ; and present to the public highway built by a man with a practical knowledge of contruction and maintenance. Instead of having no responsibility, a at present, one nun would be responsible to the countv court and to the people for every mile of road in the county. If he failed to meet the most rigid requirements of economy arid efficiency, removal always presents an easy remedy. The roadmater could decide on a well defined policy of construction and stay with it until completion. Trunk lines and then latterals could be built in a sptcnuuic fashion so that every section of the entire county would :c directly benefited. Roads are a county proposition and not confided to districts in their tffects. There is nothing startling in the proposal of Representative Weeks. It cannot be classed as "freak legislation." It comes under the head of common sense. It is the same principle which dominates every' successful business enterprise, which makes powerful governments and enters into al most every sound organization. ' That principle is the centralization of power and authority.

Oregon City itself will witness, in a short time, that magnificent piece of political reasoning: Jones is an office holder and a Democrat; I am a Republican and I am in power; Jones does not believe as I do, therefore I must remove Jones as soon as possible for the betterment of the service. It has been applied to every governmental job from the collectorship of the port of New York to fourth-class postmasters!) ips. If private enterprise were run in such a blundling, inefficient, inconsist ent way it would probably be in bankruptcy in 90 days. Only the length of the public purse and the power to levy unlimited taxes have saved public corporations, national, state and municipal, from foreclosure by the cred itors.

COURT REFUSES TO E T The Waverly Golf club Wednesday lost Its action In the circuit court to secure a reduction in the assessment of $170,009 of the golf links near the Multnomah-Clackamas line. ' Assessor Jack placed the valuation of the land owned by the club at $170, 000 and the club building at $30,000. The matter was appealed to the board of equalization last September but the board refused to reduce the assess ment and the club appealed to the circuit court. Only the assessment on the land waa contested. The arguments of the club was based on the fact that property of J. W. Scott, located near the golf links, was assessed muoh lower than the club property. The county, represent ed by District Attorney Hedges, main tained that the Scott property la In ferior In location, fertility and view to the Waverly links. . CHANGES ARE MADE IN S. P.
