When those who favor an additional tax to bt'Kln Uie building of hard surfaced roads, why should they not, at the same time, de- THE TAXPAYERS OF CLACKAMAS COUNTY Tuesday adopted a plan, which, if given a fair chance, will jn a few years give a good system of practical trunk highways. By approving a resolution, which expressly barred all the cheap substitutes for hard surface such as bituminous macadam and aphaltic macadam, asking that $60,000 be pcnt next year for highway of a pernunent type, the taxpayers went on record as favoring pOJ Qp JH PEOPLE a change from the present system ot constant maintenance ot roaas. The first year's work will be largely in the nature of an experiment. The few miles to be laid will prove to the people of Clackamas county that hard surface is the best both in the winter and summer and the cheapest in the long run. It will be a convincing argument to farmer, town man and tourist. The passing of the resolution Tuesday, asking that two mills of the n"lnJ cbane ln ll 01,1 VBtl'm of ., . .

The side ditches do not carry off the water from the traveled portions of the road, To macadamize or gravel or rock a road costs from $5000 to $7000 per mile. A bard surface costs much more. A single title drain will cost to dig the french about $160 per mile and the cost of three-inch tile, $132, making a total of $292 ptr mile, only about one- twentieth as much as to macadamize It. To lay two tile drains will cost about $600, only about one-tenth as much as macadam. Will not the farmer taxpayer think thai while we are abandoning the old tlyie of roads to build hard surface, they will not be willing to put up the money unless the old style be aban doned for a suitable drainage, which will cost but one-tenth as much.

Thi will not come imme diately after the war ends, for it will take some time to restore industrial activities in Europe, but it w ill come, unless the people of America take steps to prevent the attack upon our trade and our riche. fROM EVERY SECTION of the country, but principally from the 1 northern and western states, come complaints of impaired rural mail service. In an effort to save a few thousands of dollars to make up part of the deficit brought on by Democratic tariff legislation, the postoffice department is cutting the sen-ice not only in cities but in rural districts. The latest protest ' comes from Bristol county, Masschusetts, where mass meetings have been held to devise means of averting the de structive orders of the department. Residents of some towns find that under a recent order they must change their postoffice addresses, as they will henceforth reside on rural routes extending from cities other than those from which they have received mail for many years. Until all their corre- spendence learn of the changes, letters will go to the old address and be remailed, with a day's delay, at the least. Farmers who have built up a profitable business in supplying a steady market with eggs and young chicks find that their parcel post service is so materially impaired that they despair of retaining their trade. Some rural carriers have suddenly lost their jobs through no fault of their own and postmasters find their business transferred tc offices to which it is not naturally tributary.

More than a score of years ago I laughed at a man for saying he Intended to play the shell game at the next opportunity. He bad played It once and lost but be was sure he knew just how he missed It. I tried to convince him that It was Impossible to win unless the gamekeeper intended him to do so, be was obdurate. "Fool," you will say; not more than the aver age man, In fact he was generally as capable as the rest of us. Yet be dc dared he would go against a sure thing game. Next year will be "campaign year" and as a nation we will go up against a sure thing game. That Is, viewid from the standpoint of the working class. The producers are in tbe ma jority but the politicians are keeping the game In the Interest of the exploit ing class, and tbe workers will sur render their destinies to those who toil not. Take a look at the last general election. What a cheap film flam It was. Tbe politicians split the Repub lican party so as to make sure of tbe Democrats winning out. These smooth gamblers took no chances, tbey feared to let tbe two dominant parties clash for ft was decreed tbe Republican must be defeated.

On the contrary, It Is assorted: Thut 3000 women and girls aro cm ployed ln Portland stores.

That this Increase would amount to 30.000 additional working hours for girls now employed during the six days preceding Christmas.

Tho commission's notice conclude with a semi-warning: "It will be the duty of the commis sion to innlst on strict compliance by the stores of the regulation limiting the hours of their women employes to eight hours and 20 minutes a day." The comment of George E. Hurdy, executive secretary of the Chamber of Commerce was: "Tho proposal had been modified to a requost that the girls work next Saturday evening and four days next week, but I guess this notice finishes the matter." FIRST GAME IS LOST The Oregon City high school basket ball team lost the first game of Its Beason last Saturday to Sllverton with the score 41 to 8. The game was played at Sllverton and the team returned to Oregon City Sunday morning. The lineup follows: Forwards, Mass and Miller; center, Hyatt; guards, King and Roake. Tbe team bad practiced only once before the game and Miller was unable to turn out then, so the locals went on the floor with practical ly no preparation. Considerable complaint was reg istered against the treatment received at Sllverton when the team returned. We found after the game wa over that the man who refereed the game was the Sllverton coach." said one of the players Monday.
