The Crown Willamette mill male only newpaprr in their local plants and when the lut torn dropped out of the newpaper market, the company was forced lo take trp immediately to protect itself, llie I law ley Pulp & Paper company n anaril to run tiMitinuuIv. Their ouipiit i not a lat nc .it the Crown Willamette mills and their product widely varied. laical mill manarr agree to the man that the caue uf tint Jeprrvunn in the paper and pulp market was due directly to the importation of foreign ttock. Norway, where women work in the mills and where timber i cheap i an produce paper, hip it to America and tell it for much levt than the nnt lavorrd American mill can turn it out. Norewegian mills were running full blast whert the war broke out, and a large part of their output wai coming directly to the Cnited State. I'nder irrc trade they closed American mills lorced American working men out of their job, and crippled the paper industry and all it dependent activities such a the manufacture of paper machinery and supplies Then came the war. Shipping on the Atlantic was made dangerous, the boats in the trade there could find more profitable cargoes than pulp and paper. The Canadian mills, which with cheap timber had taken a hand in knocking the bottom out uf the American market, let up on their activity because of the war, and the attention of the Dominion was turned to other things 1 nen the American pap" business began to pick up. Mills, with the entire L'nited States raper trade to themselves, began to expand. Hundred upon hundreds of men were put back to work, and the plants w ere kept run- i ing constantly to keep up w ith orders The example of the American paper industry under free trade forms mi ideal argument for the advocate of a protective tariff. It is the wise Democrat who talks about some other industry than the paper business in rpiing tariff, and the Enterprix, w ith that brotherly love a Republican news paper has for one compelled to support Democratic ideals and follies, so ad vise the Salem Capital Journal. And w hen the war is ended, woe unto the American paper business un less the tariff is restored. While now the mills are prospering under the ef fects of the European war, which shuts off importations of pulp and paper, the bottom again w ill drop out of the industry-, as it did before that conflict, if concTess does not come to aid it. IN THE PAST THE ENTERPRISE AND V. S. U'REN have dif fered widely on many important subjects, but when he w rites a letter to a Portland newspaper declaring that the construction of the South Fork pipeline was a business managed piece of construction and proceeds to laud both the South Fork commission and Engineer Harold A. Rands, the En terprise is moved to observe that our former townsman knows whereof he peaks. Mr. U'Ren continues: "A commission was selected in whom the people of Oregon City had confidence. They employed Harold A. Rands, a distinguished civil engineer, who possesses practical business ideas, as well as ideals of public service. The commission made Mr. Rands wholly and alone responsible to them and gave him as full authority of control and man agement as Franklin T. Griffith has of the street car business in Portland. "The same thing can and will be done in all the state and local govern ments of Oregon when the people substitute the short ballot for our present blanket of candidates from constable to governor. We must learn that real power consists in electing the legislative bodies, the directors and executive heads only, and requiring them to appoint and be responsible for the subordi nates and for the entire tesult of government and the expenditure of public money. lien we take and apply tins lesson from well managed private cor Hrations and from such examples as General Goethals at Panama, and Har old A. Rands' work at Oregon City, the popular government of Oregon will fce really worth patterning after." Again the Enterprise believes that .Mr. U'Ren is right, but the Enter prise also believes that the people of Oregon at least of Oregon City are not prepared to take any such progressive step. Only hist fall a movement was on foot to give Oregon City a better form of government, but before the plan was put on paper, even before many of the important details was worked out, it was killed because of the apathy of the public, because those on the committee saw that it was useless. Oregon needs a more staple, simpler form of government, both in the state and in the towns. As Mr. U'Ren declares, the ballot should be shorter, with the people passing only on the more important questions. But the fight for such progress is slow, and often meets with defeat. great assistance in notifying the violators uf the law what it meant b its pro- i ions' ThUI.

Hut the change is coming. Perhaps in a few years Oregon will have rained its proper place among the states of the Pacific in the matter of high way construction. Within the last two weeks the cause of hard stir lace has w on two victories in this section of the state. Hie county court of Douglas county, in making its planj for 1916 road work, has declared its intention of beginning a lystem of hard surface on the main highways, which will in the course of a few years serve every section of the county. Such a plan was favored at the annual budget meeting of the Clackamas county taxpayers The other victory for hard surface was at home. Pomona grange, w ith 100 grangers present from every section of the county, pasr.l a irsolution recommending the construction of hard surface. The resolution asked the county court to build the roads largely as an experiment, but srlrcting the type to be used for extensive construction until the most economical and practical kind had been found. And so the good work goes on. Perhaps at some time in the future, we of Clackamas county will get hard surface on some of our own roads It is hound to come, the date of real progressive road work depending largely on he county court. T HE ENTERPRISE has advocated prohibition, both for the city and for the state, but the Enterprise is forced to admit that it thinks its prohibition friends have fallen down in their duty. No matter how low-, degrading and immoral a saloon may be, it must be admitted that it offered companionship, warmth, light and comfort for the man ot the street. During the prohibition campaign, the drys circulated strong appeals for the habitude of the saloon. They declared their purpose was to save him but now that their cause is won, thev have forgotten that he exists. Where in the entire state of Oregon has anyone seen a concerted and intelligent move ment on the part of our prohibition friends to provide substitute for the ight, warmth. comfort and companionship of the saloon? Strange as it may seem, it has been felt w ith the men who opposed pro hibition to do work that the prohibitionists should. In Portland a number of saloon proprietors have turned their places of business into resorts for men, with pool tables, a soft-drink bar, reading tables, etc., and they are liberally patronized. Meanwhile the prohibitionists rest on their honors, allowin their former enymy to do the work. The Enterprise is a staunch advocate of prohibition, but this paper does believe that the prohibitionists should not return to their churches and quit the work. Final success is not won until the law is rigidly enforced in every part of the state and a practical substitute has been provided. llm Int.-rvata uf llm riiunty.

OIXON TAKI8 AHTIC CLASSIC WITH HIS DOQ TEAM. Stona Pltdgta Economy. FORUM OF THE PEOPLE Bob Schuebel Writes. The Late C. P. Huntington Got His Start by Saving He resolved that the moment he got his first dollar, he would save a part of it. He said he built up his great fortune by pertittently saving a part of his income during his many years of labor. No man can afford to spend all he earns. The dollars saved during youth afford capital for investment later on in life. Every hundred dollars you save makes it " easier to acquire thousands. You can begin saving now, $1.00 opens an account at this bank. We encourage you to save by paying interest on savings. - The Bank of Oregon City - THE OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY ELDORADO, Ore., Jan. 25. (Editor of the Enterprise.) I see by your edi torials you refer ua to tho state of Washington for an example In road building. Now Washington has the name. Bystem Oregon has. They ap point supervisors and have rood dis tricts about tho Biinio Bizo Oregon has, j f 8(ttte In this county to help prose- Ini-reased to such un extent that he must have help. Now we think at tlil-i stage of the game thin la not the ease, I am thinking wry aeriously of ho- ing a eandldute for tho legislature on the Republican ticket, and see If I can find out what Is wrong with almost ev crything that takes place in our legis lative hotly. Wo luivo been told that the saloon wns tho cause of three fourths of u!l the crime committed, yet tho minute we get rid of the saloons they udd another official to our ship but the state has spent very much more money as a state on permanent road work than Oregon has. I think this would he the prop er course for the state of Oregon to build the Pacific highway as It would be a road used pilnclpally by travel ers for pleasure by automobllo owners both of this state and visitors from outside territory. So would be near er right for tho state to take hold of this work than each county separate ly. 1 would suggest the following p'an: Tho state to appropriate lo each county In proportion to milage of Pacific highway road In each county all the state fund for roads; each year the counties to appropriate a like sum given the county. Tho money to be spent by tho county courts under in structions from the state highway en gineer. Rut to get proper results in Oregon we need some changes In our state road management. Twenty-three per cent Is too much to spend for of fice expense and engineering, besides for tho last year we have had to bear the burden of expense In the courts to cuto crime now If crime Is going to in crease with no saloons tho quicker wo get back to saloons tho better. Hut this Is all humbug. It Is high time the common taxpayer was getting wise and organize themselves In work ing bodies. I would suggest as school districts; then we could take action on such questions on short notice; re port to the county court or such head In tho county as agreed on. U. SCHUEBEL. Replies to Bob Schuebel. OHKCON CITY. Jan. 26 (Editor of th Entcrprlao) I have bwo rvqupat rd hy a number of honvy latpuyrr to outline niy platform on hkh I am running for davrlct attorney for Clack amaa rounty, reliitlve to the expvnar of the district attorney's office and particularly the office of deputy ill, trh t attorney, which hat a aulury of 75 a month attarhed lo II. If nominated and elected lo that office, I khall probulily appoint a ili'P- uty for tho convenience of the public, hut I shall pay hint out of the talary of tho office which la fixed by the legis lature, and will not aak the county court for un appropriation for the pay ment of deputy hire. I feci that the salary of the office Ii sufficient to justify a luwyer In look ing after all of the business, both crim inal and civil, without added expense. There may be times when work will accumulate to that degree that It will be neceasary to hnvo special council appointed to help out, but the cxpenao of that would be Immaterial compared with tho salary of the deputy's office, which Is now 300 per year. I think that tho prohibition law can he rigidly enforced without an appro. j prlatlon of -'!000. It may bo noccs-' Bary to expend several hundred dol lars a year for the purpose of hiring! detectives to procure evidence, hut I feel that tho citizens of tho county ull deslro that this law ho enforced and that they will all co-operato to thut end.

OREGON CITY, Jan, 20. (Editor of tho Enterprise) In answer to R. Schttebel's communication of the 2."tb I would liko to answer him In regard to the road work of Oregon and Wash ington, as to tho rest, lot some one who knows answer. At the time of reading your editorial In regard to the road work In Washington, I thought you had the right Idea and still think so. Mr. Schuebel tavs. "Now Washing ton has the same system Oregon has." find out who Is the engineer In charge Have they, Mr. Schuebel, or do you of the state roads. This is something understand that they have? You might that should be definitely settled In the say that Washington has the same sys- coming legislature. Another thing of importance to be taken care of In the next legislature is to make It Impos sible for county attorneys to load on to our county a deputy at $75 per month as hag been done In this county by Mr. Hedges until the county court finds it to be necessary. A few years ago we got along with a deputy dis trict attorney In this county at a sal ary of G0O per year. They to'd us then It would be so much better to have our own separate county attor ney, so the law was passed and a sal ary of $2100 allowed. Now since Ore gon has gone dry we are burdened with a deputy district attorney at a salary of $75 per month on top of the regular attorney. This should not be allowed until it can tc shown that the work of the district attorney has tern us Oregon and be right In regard to tho supervisors and districts, but there Is one feature of the Washing ton road work that you do not under stand. Now, In Skagit county, where I wag familiar with tho work, the supervis ors have nothing to say as to the building of new roads except to helo the county commissions decide which road to build. Tint he looks after the repair work under the direction of tho county commissioners and the county engineer. New roads are handled by contract, all contracts being bid for under competition, which are awarded by the county commissioners and over seen by the county engineer. If tho road is long enough and a large con The checso factory of the Canhy Co operative Checso & Produce company completed Its first week of operation Suttirday, and, busing their estimates on tho record of tho week, officials of the company foresee a profitable busi ness.
