NVit to the paramount question of whether or not we are going to be d rust I'd Into ar Iho next query ot tiAtlonul cop U: what action shall wo lake If war la actually declared? There Komi to be a good deal of opinion to th effect that the rutted Mite will nerrr wage anything more ttun a pasilve airfare against tier ninny In case of stub an eventuality; not b'tauMj of any dclr to Irt things ride, but because of the I in pie reason that we ahull not bo physically able to t)o an thing mora than give tb allies financial aupport Sumo peoplo aay that the war has already dragged Itself out la surn length thai It la bound to die of ex halation before thla country could po albly train and transport an anny. All tbla la valid reasoning, but It l undoubtedly beside the point From the point of view of V aldington, and of the nation for that matter, what aort of military condition ahould e be In? Prepared; thafa the answer. And bcre la there aurh an oppor tunity to achieve a state of prepanrd nes aa to be found In wartime? The nation ta not going to overlook thla truth that more can be done to ward strengthening the military force of this country in a month of war than In a year of peace. The result la that If war la declared the administration probably will Im mediately ralae aa Urge an army aa possible and will throw every effort in the direction of developing the navy. The navy, of coura., will tee active service especially ao because our war like activity will naturally be directed arafnst the very aubtnarinea which caused the trouble. Tben too. It will be necessary to see that merchantmen are given a&fo conduct across ocean. Put on land the direction affairs take seems to be that ot raising and training aa large an army as pooaiuie. not only for the purpose of throwing strength against Germany, but to have as big a trained reserve army after the war as it is possible to obtain. Should the war continue until this army becomes sufficiently trained to take the field and In tn light of Its present duration and the marvelous organization and determination behind it. It Is impossible to prophesy how much longer it will endure then we shall no doubt transport troops to the European trenches. If war is declared the only hope of those who are too timid to fight is that Germany Is now exhausted and sparring desperately against an inevit able knock-out that Is coming quick. overcome these dlflfcultlcs. The coat if the paving to the city could Ixt ma terially redded by assessing all or part of Its at tual cost to the property. There are many mldi-nco streets In Oregon City which should be Improv rd. and If the mater waa put before the property owners Id the right way thry would probably be glad to have the Improvement made. On street which have once born Improved and the life declared, an agreement might be made blwe property own.-ra. opening the way to permanent work. However, there are enough streets In Oregon City which have not been lm proved to Veep the plant busy for years. I'ea gravel could be rolled into the surface of the street on the hills, pre venting the paving from taking on its glum like surface In rainy weather. Whatever Is done, the city should not go back to Its old plan ot patching. patching, always patching. If the town buys a paving plant this year. It will at least have a paving "plant 12 months from now, but If the old plan of patching is followed, the streets will be in the Identical condi tion they ere now and the city will have nothing for Ita money. the ettra burden, but wbea thins be gan to decline and the aaaueaa of to bells ringing at Iba aam time wore off, and It waa ncesry lo cut evprnse, one plume bad fogo.

The city council is right in its con tention that patching streets with macadam or gravel is only temporary and a waste of good money, and that the only satisfactory and lasting street, whether for residential or busi ness district, is hard surface. That time of year has come when the city must determine whether it will fol low the old plan of eternal patching, or try to get something done that will be a permanent and creditable im provement. The council wants to put down hard surface, a little each year until pav ing is laid throughout the town. A paving plant was found to be expensive and the street commute reported that Oregon City has too many hills for the use of sheet asphalt, asphalt!': concrete or similar types of hard sur face. The city is seeking a practical paving at a reasonable cost, and it seems no nearer a solution of the problem now than it was a year ago. All of the residental streets surfaced since 1D10 must be cared for by the city for a period of 10 years after their improvement. This period is known as the life of the street, and In no case has It expired. Other streets.! improved before 1910, have not had their life declared, and an improve ment is not possible until the council takes that action. Arrangements should be possible to The most noticeable feature of the war situation is the coolness with which the nation Is meeting the thing. Resumes of pre comment from all parts of the country show clearly that the people are facing without fear and without any cringing excitement the most difficult situation In the history of the nation. There Is a general opinion that this country has done the right thing it has avoided a break so long as it could do so with entire honor, and after that the J it has doubled its mailed fist The nation is proud of its course. It Is proud that It has often stretched a point in an effort to be undoubtedly fair to all the belligerent nations. Now if there is to be a war the peo ple ot this country are going to be proud to flghf! It is pleasing to note that party and personal differences have been forgot ten. The president Is receiving solid support from all sides. And from no place has there been expressed more patriotic spirit than from those Amer ican people speaking a foreign lan guage. Bound in the past by many ties to another than their own nation these people have declared that they art? behind the administration to the limit. Just as all other American people are. Universally they have asked that the President continue his efforts to keep the United Spates out of wax, and In this regard it must be admitted that were the president himself ot foreign extraction he could hardly do more than he has done and what he is do ing. For the greatest feature of the news which has come out of Washlngj-on during this crisis is the fact that in the face ot seemingly certain war the president has continued his efforts to bring about peace. War. If war comes, will be forced upon this nation. Even the German government has been frank to admit thaf. It has admitted that It has sac rificed the friendship of America In order to play its last card on a bloody table. Utterances of Gorman diplo mats already absolve thla country of blame for war. The result Is that the nation is a unit behind the president. It wears a smile on its face and a gun on ij-s hip. THE VOTER AND THE MACHINE. In one of the numerous "statement" which fall from him aa nuiuoroualy aa the lesvea In Vallombroaa George W. IVrkln a): "Our fight la not against the rank and file ot the Repub lican party, but against Iho machine of the party, which for years haa re fused to allow the voter to have a voice In party affairs." I'arty affair are managed by the party committers municipal, county, conrrrenlonal and national. Th-me committers are choaen in various manner. Some are elected In the party prlmariea; others ore elected by convention representative of their jurisdiction. In each caae the voter have a voice in the selection. The trouble with Perkln la that he never choose to submit hi caae to the votera In a primary where a direct election decides the personnel of a party committee, or to a conven tion where representative delegates chosen by the voters mal.e the deci sion. He Immures himself at his splendid estate on the Hudson or In one or the other of his several busi ness offices, and expects the voters to seric him out there to announce to him that he has been made the object of a great honor, namely, an el Hon to a governing committee In the party to which at the moment he deigns to lend his favor. Falling to receive thl" call, he trie to get the committee which was elected tc take his Judg ment Instead ot its own or he tries to get It to add to its membership by taking in men who were never elected either by the voters or by a repre sentative convention. If they refuse, he threatens to defeat the whole party. 19 YEARS AGO "rum tha KnlerprtM of lVhrur I, lit)) Captain ki-llofg )ralerdaf mar haled a host of our I'ortUnd frt.-mU In uMn ua.

A local telephone company was es tablished In Portland several years ago by enterprising citizens who be lieved there should be competition in this fiela.

While times were good and business booming telephone users could stand The Law REAL' ECONOMY. The Oregon Voter comes to bat with the suggestion- that the Industrial ac cident commission be weaned from state support, thereby saving the state about $125,000 a year when the tax limitation amendment has made real economy absolutely necessary in the conduct of the state's business. Says the Voter: "In the budget it is estimated that J225.000 will be required during the next two years to pay the state's share of industrial accident claims and re serves. "Ought not the industries benefited by a state compensation system carry the expense of that system? "Every taxpayer is liable for dam ages if done through his neglect or by some instrumentality which is under his control. He has to pay the damages if the court gives judgment against him. Why must he be taxed in addition for payment of damages or claims accruing from the conduct of an Industry Insured by the state? "The principle of compensation for industrial accidents is well establish ed and is In line with social progress. No backward step from a system of compensation awards will be or should be tolerated by the public. But why should this $225,000 expense be con tributed by tha public to private Insur ance funds benefitting certain people In certain industries "Especially when this samo $225,- 000 Is sorely needed by the stute for other necessary and beneficial ex penses; or if not needed by the state, It is needed by the taxpayers, who probably can use the money to better advantage In their own Individual bus iness than donate It to other lines of Industry."

Oldest, Lsvwsat aad Ststmcwt Bank la Csscfcaata Cooatr CONSTITUTION IN PERIL. Senator Owen's proposal to deprive the Supreme Court of the right to pass upon the constitutionality of statutes cannot stop at that point. If the court Is to be placed inferior to con gress and if the judgment of congress, as expressed in a statute, is the final, then the Constitution is gone alto gether. Because the Constitution puts 'imitations upon congress, which may not do certain things, such, for in stance, as those whlcn constitute the reserved rights of the States. If there is to be no review of the constitution ality of an act of congress, the rights of the States are in peril. SUBSIDY BY ANOTHER NAME. The buc"boo of "subsidy" which was always successfully used by the Dem ocrats in defeating Republican at tempts to build up the merchant ma rine of the country by means of mall subventions is forgotten by the Dem ocratic cbairmob or the Senate post office committee, who haa introduced an amendment to the post office ap propriation bill proposing to pay 10 a mile for mail service on American built steamers of 35,000 tons and thirty knots speed. That means $30,000 each trip for trans-Atlantic service, a pure subsidy, except In name. The following real estate thanafer were filed In the office of Count Re corder lloylco Thunday: Caroline V.

Tho Interest charges will be not more than 6 per reut, nor nn re than 1 per cent abov the rate paid on tho bonds sold by tho bsnks. If IV, per reut bonds should be Issued, therefore, the rate charged on loans would bo &S per cent or less. There will be no romtul iluns or bonus.!-. Tho loan will be made for period of time ranging from 5 to 40 years, thu doing away with the trouble and expense uf frequent renewals. Tho payment of a certain part ot the principal rnnually or s ml-annually, with the Interest, will be required. The total pxymcnt.

SMASH THE COUNTRY PAPER! In a series of spasms of righteousness, tho Portland Dally Journal, first friend of tho people of Oregon, orders the state legislature to re peal the law requiring tho publication of delinquent tax lists and sub stituting postal curds therefor. In Its campaign of villlflcatlon and mis representation, extending over a period of yonrs, but rccontly aroused to a high pitch ot frenzy, by tho failure of the legislature to do Its bid ding, tho Journal Is not only seeking to pose as a reul roformor, but Is attempting to blacklist and discredit practically ovory country news paper In Oregon. With Its corps of paid representatives, taking Its orders and writing Its unsavory stories, tho Journnl Is attempting to boost its own stock at tho expense of more than 200 pnpcis that aro making a living for their owners while the Journal Is building up a for tune for 8am Jackson. If It was "rraft" to publish the delinquent tax list In four news papers in Portland, why aid tne Journal demand the graft? If tho Journal fouls It has dirty hands because of Its Insistence that the tax list bo published In that paper, why does It not ease its con science by returning Its Ill-gotten thousands to the treasury of Multno mah county? Why docs the Journal rail at the country press for maintaining a lobby at Salem, when that paper has a half dozen men there to do Us bidding, and why Is It making covert threats against representatives of organizations that decllno to submit to Its dictation? The post card notice Is no notice at all. It Is not a notice to tho public and In many c:.scs It would never reach tho taxpayor to whom It was directed. No student of taxation, not swayed by prejudice, nor con trolled by the Journal, would advise such a course. Who pays tho cost of publishing the delinquent tux list? Is it pall by tho taxpayers of the county as a whole? No. Would the taxpayers of any county effect a saving If tho law were repealed No. Docs the cost of publication In the country districts add a materlul sum to tho heavy penalty and Interest charges placed against tho prop erty by the laws of the state?No. Then why all this noise? Why all this slandor? Why all this mis representation? Is the country pross an obstacle to the political machine that the Journal la trying to build up In Oregon? Very likely. Is the Oregon legislature going to allow one big city newspaper to tell It what to do and when and bow to do It? We don't think so. Does the country press do moro for the upbuilding of the many com munities of Oregon than the fat-pocketed Journal? We leave It to you. I. C.
