When the commissioners irluvil in consider tsvurahly in niter to lat x giMtanterd lout null pavement for $1 a yard, advocates of ml road are inclined to be discourage.! and minder how much longer it will he before the county tim ol patt '., The court jdtancrd two objections. ConuniuMMvrr knight declared the price a too high. Mr said, although before thr Worm kk oiler uas formal i) taken up by the court, that with 5 1. Viol iiuiteiial. the company could collect 7. Jf I. In a ptKT of $1 a yard, he declared the contractors would make an unreasonable profit and aid he would not vote for the offer until a lower pi ice wai secured. knight'i objection uai knocked in the head about ai oon a the com mtiner -oiced it. Joseph Pen), ot the paving company, offered to tin n the books of the compam over to the count) to show that their promt wne not exorbitant. One man at the meeting reminded Knight that Multnomah count t was pating 51. 1" for a two-inch pavement and anothet offer wai nude by the contractor to lay the pavement for a 10 per cent prol'ir and allow the county to check over their booki. The argument of Judge Anderson wai far more substantial than that of knight's. lTie county judge declared that there was no money on hand M the pioent time for work of thii nature. 'Iltat pan ot the general tund which had not actually been taken out of the treasury to pay for work now done, wai prart'cally appropriated. Hut even this argument tall down. If Judge Anderson believes in hard lurface. it he believe that the demands of many of the county's leading citirrnt are even to be recogniied, he would have made the contractors a proposition that the patrtnent be laid this fall and the monev collected next spring. No such offer was nude. The county court is not anxious to try out hard surface. They arc deaf to the plea of many uf the county's most substantial citiiens. The interests represented at that meeting Friday morning alone pay enough taxes each tear for road work to la) the Oregon City-Gladstone road five times over. Although sonvexvhat discouraged, boosters for real roads in Clackamas countv havr not given up.

No man in America hai a mote profound knowledge of the rvilt ol boat Im that Mr. Root, and no state in the I'nion hat been to but ndden at New York. Fortunately, the parn !. i. not etm where to d not an.) in some states thete is no such thing. Hut there is much to be sanl in faun of the thort ballot for even state and even city, and Mr. Root', advocacy will i'm it far toward general approval. T WHEN THE REPUBLICANS MADE THE TARIFF, un employment and other national questions an issue in the mayoral w tv campaign of last spring, the highbrow element thought it was to laugh. But the people understood and Mayor Thompson was swept into f tier by 1 50,000 majority. Now everybody is coming to understand that a free trade tariff with its accompaniment of shortened hours, curtailed wages or lack of employ ment altogether has a distinct hearing upon municipal affairs and the most emphatic evidence of this is found in the enormously increased demands upon the municipal and county treasuries for the support or assistance of dependents or quasi-dependent. According to the figures of the poor relief department of the county the department in F'ebruary of the present year fed as many people as live in Springfield. 111., the third largest city of the state. Last year the county agent aided directly 100.000 persons. This year the estimate is that 200,000, or twice the numbered care for last year, will be fed. clothed and warmed at the expense of the taxpayers. Consequently more taxes will have to be collected to pay the increased hill. Cook county's grand total for charitable purposes last year was 52.278,540. If the population provided for at the county hospital and Oak Forest, together with one-half of the 18,208 patients visited at their homes by the county agent's physicians, and w ho do not receive other assistance, and also the 2588 non-residents and aliens given temporary assistance in 1914. are added to those directly assisted, it is estimated that in round figures the actual total of those assisted will come close to 125,000, and exceed the combined populations of Peoria and Springfield. This population represents persons cared for by the institutions organized and operated under the pauper act; that is, poor relief department, county hospital and infirmary, including the tuberculosis hospital at Oak Forest. These figures do not include 16.268 patients treated at dispensaries operated in connection with the county hospital, nor the 5788 children cared for by the juvenile court, which are also poverty's contribution to the charity service of Cook county. In other words, the application of Democratic policies in the nation as shown by the Underwood tariff and its effects has just about doubled the number of people who cannot earn a whole living in Chicago. a A GREAT BATTLE for the short ballot is on in the New Y ork Con stitutional convention. That convention, which has been in session several months, and which expects to conclude its labors In a few days, is presided over by Elihu Root, who, the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says, has attracted national attention to himself a number of times in the course .it its proceedings by the determined fight he has made for an organic law that will be responsive to the will of the people. Mr. Root has long been an ad vocate of the short ballot and in this conevntion he has led the forces which have been and are arrayed on its side, and which have been stubbornly op posed by the machine politicians of all parties. This particular section of the proposed constitution, known as the Tanner plan, provides for the electiot. ol only four state officers, governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general and Mr IM.uAl J.A I Kt H iKr has thr follow ig to sat concerning a recent editorial in Thr Enterprise: "One ol the Oregon City newspapers totnet out with thr following 'Clackamas counn has been ottered a rare opportunity. The Wot m II k ompanv ii willing to lay an asphaltic concrrtr road, 16 frrt wide, fur f a ard. This meant that the company will put down a fourtiHh letmaivrnt highwav with a 10-year guarantee fnmt Oregon City to Glad.tunr for Irss than $12,000.' "Do vtMi think this samr paper would burnt such an olid oi would the court sanction it, if thr asphaltic concrete road was to he hinlr from Login to Estacada. or from Boring to Barton? "Like ancient Rome, all roads must lead to Oregon Cm But the Progrrs it wrong. The Enterprise has atted Im tears that the county court lav a mile or two ot real hard urlace as a test on sonir trunk highway. It makes no difference whether that road lead to Molalla. Estacada or Oregon City, ai fong ai it it one of the principal road in that community. The Enterprise it convinced that the ntflceai of hard surface laid is our part of the county would be conveyed to all nthn sections of Clackamas. To try it to be pleased. The plaits ot the local Nxwters lor permanent highways line oitrn hren inisundentood and their purpose questioned. Perhaps the construction put on The Enterprise editorial it only natural for a paper as prejudiced against the rest of the county as is the Progress. If Editor Standtah of the Progress will come out in i it rang demand for a test hard surface in east Clackamas. The Enterprise will work for the propositon as strongly as it has worked for the Oregon Cits iladstOM im movement. In the past the Progress has shown itself as a papei capable ot earning on a strong and coniittcnt fight for what it believe is right. It is a pity that its judgment should be warped by petty local interest, when such a statewide issue as the road problem is confronted. T PENSION YOURSELF When people are too old for active work, they need a pension. But only a small percentage of people can draw one from employer or country. Everybody can pension himself, however, by saving money to use in old age. Begin now while you are earning steadily. You can open a savings account in this bank with $1 or more. THE BANK OF OREGON CITY OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY HE IMPORTANCE of the land gTant conference to Clackamas countv can hardily be over-estimated. Not less than '2.MH acres o land, with an appraised valuation of $1,148,000, or roughly about 4 per cent of the total assessed valuation of the county, is involved. A problem with the complexity and the importance of the land grant question ha nt .onfronted the tatr within the la.t 10 tear and the conference at Salem September 16 can eailv he clard a one of the most important in the bistort of the state. Clackamas county will be well represented at the Sam conference. Four delegates will represent the county court, one the local Commercial club and each member of the llb legislature will be present. Supplied w ith detailed figures prepared by County .Assessor Jack, this delegation will be ble to correctly define the stand of Clackamas county at the session. The problem confronting the conference is Ui find a way to put to actual use the great tracts of land recently awarded the ( )regon 5c California railroad bv the United States supreme court. A dozen suggestions hat e been made and it is the problem before the conference to prepare a recommenda tion for the national congress. Incidentlv, other issues are tied up in the matter. The collection of thirty-odd thousand dollars in taxes a tear in Clackamas county alone is a mat ter pending settlement of the question. A billion and quarter feet of standing timber await a final decision in Clackamas county. Thousands of acres of agriculture and grazing lands, equal to any now in ue in the county, are useless until the problem is solved. . Actual settlers on this land are most needed. With this great area, now die, put to use. the population of the county would be greatly increased, the annual harvest swelled and all benefited.

T HE TRIUM PH of the humble jitney over its rival, the steam raliro.nl. is complete in Coos countv. Between Marshlield and North Bend, a county road parallels the railroad track and jitneys operate with great frequency. The trains chug back and forth at a loss of about jMH) a month under compulsion of its franchise with the cities. Its cars nre empty, except when the jitney service is overtaxed or the weather is stormy. The railroad must operate its cars. A company which has spent mil lions in development of Southern Oregon, that only recently Completed a splendid road to the Pacific coast from the Willamette valley, is daily penal ized through no fault of its own. When the winter crimes with mud and rain, the jitney will disappear as suddenly as it came but with the return of spring, the busses will be running as they are now. The question confronting the two Coos Bay towns is: Why force the Southern Pacific to keep up an expensive service at a loss of $800 a month, when the people prefer, patronize and enjoy the jitney service? The situation in Coos Bay is the same confronted in a hundred other towns where the jitney and rail service compcti'. The jitneyman can drive away his car but the railroad cannot be moved, expensive rights of way drop ped and franchises torn up without a tremendous loss. Ir was announced months ago that the Portland Railway Light & Power company has been losing money through the jitney competition and other trac tion companies in large coast cities have suffered a reduction in receipts because of the operation of these automobile busses. Properties and equip ment worth millions have suffered because of the popularity of the jitney w hich has spread throughout the nation in only a few months. Will they last through the winter is a question asked by many. It is certain that the operation of these cars between cities, such as Portland and ( fregon City, will be hampered by the condition of roads and that people will prefer warm: well lighted cars to the bumping, mud-splashing automobiles. The Southern Pacific along Coos Bay may expect early relief. jc II, tosvmhlp 2 south, runk Villaint'iti morldtna; f!0. lteal .-Mat transfers filed lth the Akrraon.
