BETTER STREETS
The cement sidewalks and
gutters in the business streets of
the city are the firtt Bteps to
wards permanent street improve
inenls. JVJiile La Grande is a
trifle youug yet for asphalt
streets, she is not too youug for
good .crushed rock, or macada
mized streets. In the winter
lime the streets are a tea of
liquid mud which could be re
medied to a certain extent if a
solii street existed. By round
ing them up, placjng plenty of
0..C-. iui, uu they may le
made impervious to water and
with the aid of the gutter carry
off the suaplus water and leave a
practically mudless street.
In the residence district the
streets are far too flat to ever
expect solid roadbeds in winter.
The present street grades will
enable the property .owners to
round up: the streets and other
wise improve thein as they build
their cement walks. The park
ing, too, affords a great field for
mprorement and beautifying
our cy. Walla Walla for, in
stance has several miles of park
ing along the sidewalks. The
owners have merely incorporated
portfon of the street in the
lawn and take as much pride in
keepiug that as green aj they do
their lawns.
KINDLING WOOD
Iuterested parties are now
busy fixing up the political pot
for next June. These political
wire woikers are at no loes as to
what they want to put in the pot
but they are much bothered a
to the sort of kindling wood to
use no that the fire under the
pot will burn satisfactorily, and
make it boil to funously that
the (team will conceal the con
tents ot tlu pot, and the people
will not know what sort of a
mess they are cookiug.
In many election in the past
the race question, local auti-
potbies, demands for economy
lower taxes and the "poor farm
er' have been used as kindling
wood to make the political pot
boil, but these times have pass
ed, people have been deceived
by them until they have lost
their potency. Some new
material must be found. The
people have learned ft) at thi
"political pot" is filled with un
cooked official positious, grafts
and grabs, which the wi3e work

era want the voters to stew for
the benefit of the designiog men
who fill the pot
The kindling wcod which the
people will pat under the future
political pota will be a demand
for "a rquare deal," outspoken
expression of purpose and no
intrigue. The light from inch
kindling wood will reveal every
thing in the pot, and wuatever
of foulness, graft or subterfuge
found therein will be cast out by
the indignant people, and lucky
will be' the wire-worker who has
put anything unclean therein it
he escapes a sever scalding when
the foul Etuff he to adroitly
placed thereiu ia discovered and
hrown out by the people.
A GOOD EXAMPLE
The state of Washington has
a more business like ' way of
making large holders of lira be r
land contribute their equitable
ahare of the publio expenses
than Oregon. Iu that state the
standing timber" is taxed, after a
careful examination of,eacb tract
to ascertain its actual value.
We notice iu the Prosser Bulle
tin that the King couuty Board
of Equalization recently raised
the value placed by the assessor
one companie's holding of wild
timber land, of about 200,000
acres, twenty fire per cent or
about two dollars per acre,
which will increase the assess
ment of that company about
$100,000. Iu that state the
and is assessed as one item of
value and the standing timber
as another. Oregon would do a
wise thing to follow the Wash
ington plan. -
