County Commissioner Weed is in favor of a genoral road tax as large as last year. He points out the fact that if a lesser tax is levied much of the work already begun wlil not be completed and to a certain extent the money already spent on the sev eral road projocts will be wasted on account of the noncompletion of the work. The Mist agrees with Mr. Weed in this particular. We real ize that during these war times when evaryone is call 3d on to economize, the county should also economize so far as possible In the expenditure of county funds. At the same time, it does not seem economy to leave a half finished job. Mr. Weed states that good roads have been a good investment for the Nehalem this year. In former years, when the roads were nigh impassable, the farmer could not get his produce to market, and tons of potatoes and apples rotted for the lack of transportation facilities. This year, Mr. Weed points out, not k less than 20 cars of potatoes have been shipped from the Nehalem coun ty and the farmers have received good prices for them, and they are much better able to now pay a large tax than they were when a lower tax was levied and the products of their farms allowed to waste. The gov ernment wants every one to raise all the foodstuffs possible and get it to market.- It can't get to market un less there are passable roads. DID Y OU DO IT? Last Sunday was the day you should have written to some soldier boy; If not to your own soldier boy, to somebody else's soldier boy. But did you do it? We know of many that did and we believe there are many who did not. If you are one of those who did not, Just think for a minute how pleased you would have been, If far away from your home, to receive a letter from a rela tive or friend or think how disap pointed you would have been if at the soldier camp postoffice you saw many of the soldier boys receiving the welcome home letter and you received none. It's so llttlo to ask of you and takes so llttlo time and effort on your part that you should be ashamed of yourself if you didn't write. Hut there's yot time. Write today! If you want to know what the news Is In the county, read our corres pondence page. The Mist prides it self in having the best corps of cor respondents in this or any other coun ty in Oregon. Don't you think we are right? St. Helens should double the amounts aBked of her in the T. M. c. A. war drive. If we don't subscribe our quota the Rainier Review's 'ref erence to St. Helens as the "tight little town" will bear out the Re view's accusation. tlio war Dr. Foster was one of the most outspoken of the pacifists on the Pacific coast, and his conversion to Americanism is gratifying, es pecially since he is tlio head of an institution of learning. We should try to forget his sentiments of some months ago and remember that even the thief on the cross was forgiven.

The party who sets the ex ample and the parties who follow the example will be rendering real ser vice towards the further developmnt of our city and ct the same time mak ing a good investment. A lady who is much interested in Red Cross work tells us that somei0' wo days ago she called on a family to Interest them In the work. The hus band was not willing for his wife to take part in the work and stated that the United States had no business in the war, etc. We understand that the man referred to will soon make an effort to obtain his full citizenship papers. Wonder If ho will get them if his sentiments towards the United States doesn't change. It may take some tme, but gradually we will find out "who's who." Tho "Battle of the M.irne" will be ought over again this winter by the railroads of America. Pitted against the unified skill and experience of the nation's carriers is an avalancho of traffic such as all history never saw before. Despite the extraordinary achieve ments and efforts of the railroads' war board by cutting car shortage from 148,000 in April to about 30, 000 on September 1, the increasing pressure of fall crops and government needs has forced the figures now to 70,000. Moreover there Is every Indication hat as America proceeds with the war, the strain upon the railroads will grow greater. Traffic of the country is increasing at the rate of ttoen per cent a month. Crops are inusually heavy, factories all over the country are clamoring for fuel ind demanding twlco as many cars for their output as normal conditions would mean. The strike of coal min ers In the east now throws upon the burden of hauling to tho cities in oas month all the coal which they have been given two months to haul. The roads at the present time are ;o'.ting out of each locomotive and car approximately fifty per cent more us3 than they did two years ago, but there is an obvious limit to human possibilities. The carrier can get no reinforcements in the way of new equipment for practically the entire output of American locomotive and car shops is needed by the govern ment for use abroad. ' The draft has Increased the diffi culties which many railroads are ex periencing in securing an adequate supply of labor, particularly un skilled labor for maintenance of track and roadway. The Southern Pacific Company is urging Its employes all over the sys tem to redouble their exertions and is sceknlg to enlist the sympathetic co-operation and moral support of shippers and commercial bodies along its lines. Heavier car loading, quicker re lease, and more Intelligent use of the box car equipment are the only wea pons the railroads have available now to wage the great war, and victory i can only be achieved if shippers load and unload promptly, load cars full, and assist loyally in every way to make one car suffice to do the work DeVin, Wade Mays.
