The News la no Jealons of Oregon City or. In (act, atiy other part of the count) more thin five mile from Kalacada that It can always lie relied upon to nppoae frantically Improvements for Mime other section. The county paving plant hat arous ed the Ire of Editor Slandlah. "Sines the purchase of thla plant." he says, 'tlit1 county court, county engineer and road boa have gotten a bad at tack of hard surface paving disease wllh the majority of their energies being rxpendej In building pavemunti In the vklulty of the county eat." tic made thla statement In aplte of the fact that the county thl year will lay only four or five mile of hard aurface road, and that of three pro Jects, one runt Into Oregon City and two are located between aeven and 10 mile from the county teat More over, It might be added that the road leading Into Oregon City which a Improved carrlea aa much or more traffic than any other road ita length in the county, proliably three times at much aa the average road in the Etarada district. A little further along In hi remark Editor Slandlsh calls hard surface luxury. The county laid five-Inch as- phaltic concrete on the Parkplace road for about 63 cent a yard. In eluding the cost of installing the plant, buying suplles, auperintendending the construction and all other etpenses. Every brand of recognized hard sur face laid by contract costs far above this figure. Yet. Editor Standtah calls this surface which will outlast many water macadam roads, a luxury. Again be says, "unless a bait Is called by the taxpayers, the $S0O par ing plant will be an expensive luxury and will be worked to death along with the taxpayers' pocket books." Clackamas county raises annually about $300,000 for road and street work, but the Estacada News bemoans the expenditure of a few thousand on a type of road which is being adopted from one side of the country to the other. The trouble with Editor Standish is that he fears Estacada and the eastern part of the county will not receive their share of the work. He hints that the county court is partial to the county seat, although of the three members of the court not one is a resident of Oregon City. The county Judge is from the Logan district, one commissioner from Canby and the third from Viola. Estacada has as much representation on the county court as Oregon City. If the county court divided that paving plant into little pieces and sent one piece to every corner of the county, Estacada might be satisfied. Molalla, Canby, Macksburs, Wilson vllle, Oswego, Milwaukie, Sandy and every other town In the county wants bard surface now that the county has gone into the business, but we bear no cries of protest from them. They do not yell, "Give us hard surface or don't lay the stuff," and Editor Stan difah's outburst might be taken for such an appeal, particularly such a sentence as this, "The News has no kick against hard surfacing, although it does feel that this county cannot afford much of such luxuries and it docs believe in calling a halt if all of the hard surfacing is going to be done in the lower end of the county." Editor Standish will find as he grows older in experience and in year that public exhibitions of deep- green peeves will not win favor from Individual or county court. Judge Andereon and Commissioner Knight and Msltoon are at leat fairly honet mm, he mint admit, and alov they are human. is i iL nn nt THE NORTH PAYS. Taxpayers In lb northern states would do well to ponder the statement made to the members of congress the other day by ex Speaker Cannon, replying to a question of Congreaaman Jack Garner, of Tcxa. Mr. Cannon declared that a member on the IVnio- cratlc side had said to him: "Well. It does not make any difference bow we vote for expenditurea; you fellow north have got to pay them." When southern Democrats speak of the north they Include the west as well. The remark of that Democrat to Mr. Cannon exactly describes the attitude of the majority In congress today. It is the old story of the two men who divided the cow, one getting the half which carried the head, and the other taking the half which held the udJer. The first man had to feed the cow; rhe second man got alt the profits. When the cow hooked number two. number one had to pay the damuget. In this Instance the federal treasury Is the row, and the south controls the southern half of the animal. The thirteen states. California. Ml uols. Indiana. Iowa. Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New York. New Jersey. Ohio. Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, had a population In 1910 of nearly 51,000.000, and they cast a roto of over $.700,000, In 1912. The capital stock employed by these 13 states In 1910, aggregated over $11,000,000,000; salaries and wages paid out amounted to over $3,350,000, 000. and the value of manufactured products to over $15,500,000,000, annu ally. These states paid $65,000,000 of the $SO,000,000 collected from the cor poratlon and Income tax during the fiscal year, 1915, and they pay over 75 per cent of the taxes laid by the "war revenue measure." The thirteen states. Alabama, Ari zona. Arkansas, norma, ueorgia Louisiana. Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia, had a population In 1910 of 24,250.000. and they cast a vote of 1.818,000. The capital stock employed by these 13 states In 1910 aggregated $1,809,000,000; salaries and wages paid out amounted to about $107,000,000, and the value of manu factured products to $1,908,000,000, an nually. These thirteen states paid less than $5,000,000 of the amount col lected from corporation and Income taxes for the fiscal year 1915, and their contribution to the war tax was unimportant The south has had its fling during the past four years. They have con trolled practically all of the important committee chairmanships in congress; President Wilson is a sectionalism and so is the secretary of the treasury, Mfi Adoo. The comptroller of the treas ury, John Skelton Williams, Is also sectionalistic In his views, and it is due to McAdoo and Williams that so much favoritism has Ireen shown to the south by the federal reserve board. There has never been such a pork regime in the history of con gress, and the Bmear of the rind is found on all our important legislation since 1913. In the 13 northern and western BtaU-s are to be found tne duik oi onr great manufacturing industries, which were so sorely wounded by the Democratic tariff law. The 13 south ern itate are largely agricultural.

QPPORTUN1TY and an ac count in this bank may not seem just the same, but they are more closely related than most people think, Of what use is opportunity without the money to seize it? I PER CENT INTERE8T rpald on Time Certificates The Bank of Oregon City WAR BOOSTS GRAIN PRICES. A very brief review of export and import statistics will show th enormous Influent- of the European war In bringing proaperlly to the grain producer of the nlted State. During the ten month ended April 1913. with a Itcpiibliran tariff law In force, we Imported breadatuffa. (grain, flour, etc.) to the value $14,000,000. Our export of thcae pro duct totaled $1S5,000.000. giving u favorable trade balance on these artl rle of $174,000,000. During the ten month ending April. 1914. seven month of which was under the Dem ocratic tariff law, which put most of these product on the free list, we lm ported thorn to the value of $31,000 000. which export dropped to $139,. 000.000. and the favorable balance of trade on this group fell to $108,000, 000. a los of $0.000,000. The European war was declared August 1. 1914, and Immediately the belligerent proceeded to make vast requisitions alt over the world to stock their granaries. Proper food and equipment are the first reqqulslte In maintaining the efficiency of a fight ing machine. The streams of grain which were pouring Into the United States from all the grain producing countries of the world, because of Democratic destruction of the protec tive wait, were tapped and large part of their volume was drawn to Europe, w hlle our on exports of these articles became a torreut pouring Into the store houses of the warring powers. So we find that our Imports of grains during the ten months ended April. 1915. fell to $17,151,000, while our exports reached the amailng total of $197,000,000. The story told by our trade figures la grains Is that the belligerents were laying in sup plies for a considerable period In the future, for. during the ten months ended April, 1916, our Imports of these products again show a tendency to return to the Democratic free trade normal, being $20,000,000, while our exports have fallen to $366,000,000, a decrease compared with the 1915 per iod of 26 per cent. But even the 1916 figures show a wonderful effect of war orders on our grain trade, com Ing and going. A study of export values for the 1913, 1915 and 1916 periods, will be of Interest to the farmers of the coun try, and the values of five of these commodities are selected for the three periods, respectively: Barley, per bushel, 65.7c, 67.7c, 71c; corn 58.6c, 80c; oats, 38.5c, 59.4c, 50c; wheat, 97, $1.26, $1.25; wheat flour, per barrel, $1.67, $5.65, $.63. These values Indicate the high prices which our farmers were receiv ing for these commodities on account of the war. The breadstuffs group ranks among the first of those tremendous war or ik-rs which are responsible for the return of a marvelous though tem porary prosperity to the nlted States But man shall not live by bread alone. Heavy demands from Europe for all our products arc responsible for the great Increase in our exports. lie it remembered thut the opportune ity for Europe to manufacture for ex port trade has been terribly curtailed by the war. Not only do we furnish the belligerents with a large share of their munitions, but we are getting into their markets with various other American products. Out of this con dition of affairs the Democrats are trying to make political capital. It is clear to every business man, how ever, that we will continue to ex port supplies to Europe as long as the war lasts, whichever party is in pow er, but the only party which brings a guarantee of genuine prosperity after the war is the party that con sistently advocates a protective tariff policy. limb they grabbed I lo 'al" uh- lain View dlalrlct, he make no recom-at-rlpllon price.
