Concerning tlio movement in Douglas county, tlio Rosoburg Rows snys: "With a view of improving tlio roads of tlio county without unnec essary dolny, soon ns occasioned un der tlio present system of taxation, n number of local proporty-ownors nnd taxpayers nro agitating the bond ing of Douglas county In the sum of 11,000,000, said bonds to run for a period of fifty years, nnd draw in terest at a rato not to oxceod tlvo por cent. "Intervlovtj(Lrolatlvo to tlio con templated plan orvlslng money for road Improvement this morning, ono of the men Interested ih the success of tlio out ure, stated that ho was sattifled that the taxpayers through out the county would sanction the plan In tho event it was explained to them In detail. "According to thoso intorosted In bonding tho county, It Is claimed that the bonds could be Issued for a term of fifty years, nnd that they would bo ncccptnblo to many of the lnrgor nnd moro important bonding houses at n rato not to oxecod llvo per cent. With Jl.000,000 n cold cash, local taxpayers, say that tho roada In nil sections of tho county could bo Improved within n brief time, nnd It will bo unnecessary to delay action mouth after month for tho lack of funds, ( as experienced In tho past. It Is also claimed that with such an amount of money nt hnnd, with n competent county en gineer nnd rond builder, roads could bo constructed according to uniform plans nnd specifications, In resorting to such n plan of action, nil of the roads In tho county would bo of uni form construction, and would not vnry ns undor tho prosont system of road building In Douglas county.

It Is n r!s,u though thnt should bo used with discretion. If tho Initia tive Is Invoked Indiscriminately It will bo of Injury rather than of bene fit," snys the Pondluton Enst Oio gonlnn In its Ueue of July 19. "Hy tho naturo of things tho lnltln tlvo should bo used for tlio settlement of quostlons thnt nro of gonornl state lntorost and questions upon which tlio peoplo nt Urgo nro capable of Judg ing. It was piopor thnt tlio direct pri mary law be onactod undor tho Init iative. Tho law could not hnvo been ennctod In nny other wny. Legisla tures electod undor tho old convention system would novor linvo passed tho direct primary law. It was propor that tho corrupt practices net bo en- ncted undor tho Initiative and refer endum. Thnt law pertnlns to political mornllty and tho people woro nblo to Judgo of tlio merits of the law. It is nil right to settlo tho normal school problem under tho Initiative. Tho legislature has utterly failed to hnndlo tho question. "Hut the most glaring abuse of tho Inltlatlvo Is on tho part of thoso who hnvo proposed county division meas ures. Eight bills hnvo beea filed nsk- Jng for tho creation of Dew counties or for tho changing of boundary lines. In each caso tho question Inrolved Is of a purely local nature; not ot state Interest. It will bo Impossible for tho peoplo of tho stato to Judge of theso measures with intelligence. All division disputes should have boen held In abeyance pending tho passage of a law calling for tho settlement of such disputes by the peoplo directly concerned. Tho county dlvlslonlsts, however, have refused to wait. They have submitted their bills In Iioups the peoplo will vote blindly lor thorn. They have abused tho Inltlatlvo priv ilege nnd they should bo robuked for doing so. Every county dlislon bill should bo votod down. "Insist that tho Initiative be used only whon It may be Invoked with propriety." If You Want to Be Liked. Don't, when people sny nice thlngsjte you, think thnt they must necessnrllj bo Insincere.
