Not much money is taken away from the American taxpayer nowadays by direct peculation from public treasuries. Most pub lic funds are expended honestly. Where the taxpayer frequently that the Inter-city truck lines, which with their heavy loads du more than anything else to wn'ck rural pave ments, shall pay road taxi;? coinmen anrite with the damage they indict. N'obody questions the need of sound and lasting pavements for main roads, but many of these are costly beyond reason. This can be I remedied by the elimination of graft ! daiiKh'er of his new wife ami mother or tho six little Under.

But they are put up against many temptations, j A ,en.,lpr ,,, ie ,osc gcIlooi but its control in the matter of speed and weight Is both practicable and essential. Since those who operate truck lines could reap no profit were lt not for the paved highways, the demand that they pay proportionate ly Is not without reason. Attention to these matters should minatlon that saved the day for the state. It was wrong in principle for Portland to demand that the stale gs a whole bear 50 per cent of the cost of the proposed exposition. Port land Is thoroughly able to finance its own fair and by the rules of ethics should do bo Pecause that city will reap U0 per cent of the benefits from the fair. The move to Impose a 13.000, 000 tax on gasoline In order to pay for Portland's fair was in the nature of a breach of faith to the car owners of Oregon. The gasoline tax money is pledged to the high way fund ml that it where Is should be used, lt would be a monstrous injustice to force every man who was a flivver owner to pay tribute In order that merchants, hotel magnates and realty speculators in Portland might reap huge profits. The car owners of the state are already pay ing high license fees and high prices for gasoline. Why should they be further burdened to finance an en terprise n which they would not be the beneficiaries. Kast Oregonian. Homely Men Make the Best lovers, I.OM)0.. Dec. 30.

We think those who are saying that are mis taken. Among the rank and file of Ore gon there is neither dislike nor dis trust of Portland. Here and there the cry of "Portland hog'" is raised but in the main it is by someone who has an axe or his own to grind and' hopes to aid in the grinding by, stirring up sectional ill feeling.

Eugene Register, TIT OX THE ORIXiOX LABEL As Portland ships go to more for eign ports, they carry Oregon prod ucts to many people who have never seen them before. The goods pro claim their own merits, but tlioy should also spread the fame of Ore gon by bearing the Oregon label. Oregon manufactures as good furni ture as Crand Rapids, but often it is Fold under the Grand Rapids label. Oregon grows turkeys on the U Hip qua river that will compare with any In the land, but an Oreganlan in San Francisco does not find them adver tising Oregon; he can find only Im perial Valley turkeys. To judge by the labels, all the cranberries in the country are grown in New England, none in Oregon, though, we kuow better. In order that they may get credit for their good work, Oregon manu facturers should Insist that their goods be sold as made in Oregon, both by the wholesaler and retailer outside this state. Producers of Ore gon fruit, grain and other crops, should make the same stipulation, lest other states trade on the good name won by the excellence of Ore gon products. Not many years ago a London fruit merchant had never heard of Oregon prunes, though he certainly was selling many of them under the California label. Let us be sure that this does not happen with regard to the great cargoes of Orecon apples now exported. Just Try This on Your Phonograph CHARLESTON, W. Va.. Doc. 30 (Cnited Press.)
