THE GOVERNMENT When the voters hear charges that corruption exists in this or that deiartinciit of tht government, they bhoulil re flect that . in so far as such allegations are correct, the.-e faults are due to the haluts of our people. The government is not worse than the average of the people, usually it is bet ter. No sudden splurge of reform will ever cure such faults. There needs to be a radical change in the ideas and customs of the people, before a government can be developed in which every citizen can take pride as a model of public ad ministration. The faults in our government are no sudden developnvnt, but something deep rooted. They owe their existence U customs and practices handed down for many I years, both in the conduct of politics and in tho attitude of the voters. As long as public offices are given to people as : a reward for political service, a good many persons will ciX'cp into public positions who lack the essential qualiik'a-; tions for the same. This is a difficult matter to regulate. People who do political work are apt to look for some re-1 cognition of it. They aspire to careers in the public service, and it is a rather natural thing to give them a chance at some official position. Yet this custom is greatly abused For such reasons, official positions are often given to people who are unfit for them, just because they have done political i work. There are many temptations that conie to those who i hold public office, more than come in private business. A i ptTmw who takes these positions needs to have exceptional-' ly high character and inflexibility of purpose. The root of tho difficulties with government is that the people fail to discriminate when they elect their officials. They are often misled by fluent talkers, and will frequently pass by a man ! of substantial achievement und high worth. , ! California has long been noted as a well paved state and i probably no section of the United States has capitalized its ! good roads or made greater returns therefrom than has this state. Nature helped it in many respects by giving it road j making material such as asphalt which twenty years ago was laid in different towns and cities as a matter of eon-j venience to the local people more than with an idea of adver- Using to be derived from good roads. The advantage of hard ' surfaced highways, however, soon became apparent and the 1 result has been that California has laid mile after mile of paved highways, many of which have now been giving steady and continuous service for a period upwards of twen- ! ty years. It is particularly noticeable that the towns in Cali- j fornia which have prospered and become the most pleasant j flares to live are the ones which have shown the greatest ac-' tivity in ridding themselves of mud and dust as a result of well worked out paving, programs. Neighboring states can .profit much by California's paving experience from the .'Standpoint of commercial returns therefrom, convenience to ' citiiens and cost to taxpayers for maintenance of various1 . types of construction. o j Two hundred business men of Eugene have gone on ; record to abolish advertising signs along the main high ways of the state. The move is most commendable and hould be followed out by every city until these unsightly structures are entirely eliminated. Anyway, what gootl is a road sign - from an advertising standpoint to a motorist traveling thirty miles or more an hour? They were all right in the days of unimproved highways ami horse-drawn ve hicles when it took almost a week to get on the other side of aiiw of these road signs, but with improved methods of trans portation their advertising value is lost. The average motor ist has all he can do to w atch the road and road hogs "w hile .traveling the highways and his passengers are usually too ;deoply absorbed in what might happen to the entire party if an .tcc.ident should occur to take any interest in road signs, ;iio nuttier how beautifully they are embellished with colored -inks. "Today's speed is entirely too fast for anything that stands still. Movable sign hoards will probably be the next step to keep up with the hiotorist. o - The tourist w ho took a shot at a passing automobile a few miles north of lioseburg Monday, alter the speeder had almost driven him to the ditch, probably took the view that he was shooting in self defense. It is a chronic habit with some fellows to cut in ahead of other machines, thereby en dangering the life of the occupants, and while we do not ad . vise cold lead as a remedy for these demons, their tactics iv nothing short of murder and s.ine drastic remedy will necessarily have to be applied before they are brought to the realisation that our highway were not made for the purpose of . iatightering human beings.

J s s We met a feller yestiddy who wanted us to buy the winter's wood on the installment plan and next summer when we paid the ice bill we'd be still plunkin' down dougl. for the kindlin' wood we used Christmss. While down at the Espes cros- sin' today waitin' for a train that had been parked over the street for a coupla hours we noticed a young lady drive up in a fliv and henk her horn twice.
