Phone Main 726 Sommer Hotel Building, next to Western Unioa "Pay As We Go." (b) They tell us that we should "pay as we go," or not go. This is just what we have been doing for sixty years and we have not gone much. Do we want to continue this policy, or shall we do something that will bring Oregon up on a par with her sister states to the north and the south? We all know that it is impossible to undertake any great project and discharge the 'burden all in the year it is undertaken.' The only way large things are done is by spreading the burden over a period of years that those who enjoy its benefits may bear its burdens and on the whole make the average burden very light. Certainly no one would advocate the destruction of the hundreds of miles of pavements laid in our cities and yet very few miles of this pavement would ever have been laid if it had to be paid for when laid. However, through the mcdioum of bonds, thus distribut ing the cost o,ver a limited period of years, we have beon able to secure these pavements, have the use of them and not feel the burden of cost. I venture to cay that if you were to go to the people that have paid for these paved streets and tender them 'back the money it has cost them, 'plus interest from the date it was paved to the present, upon condition that you might tear it up and remove it and they not be permitted to re-lay the hard surface, you -would not be able to destroy very much of the pavement in these cities, nothwith standing it has cost them in many in stances a much larger sum than it can now be laid for. "Paving a Luxury." (c) Our friends also tell us that they do not believe in "bonding the Car Load Lump Coal Just Rec'd. First Come, First Served. IF YOU ENTRUST YOUR SHIPMENTS It us you can court confidently upon prompt, careful service. We handle the transfer work of some of tho biggest houses ki town.

The one thing of first importance always has been, and always will be, roads to the settlers of any state and those roads must be good enough to meet the conditions and 'bear the traf fic of the day in which they are built. ' "Bonds Mean Bondage." (d) They also tell us that "bonds mean bondage, bonds mean slavery for coming generation, bonds are the modern method of holding the pro ducing masses to contribute its labor for the favored few." When, O Lord, when, will the demagogues cease to play to the prej udices of the masses and array them against the classes? i The statement that bonds mean bondage is untrue. Bonds, used in the sense of this bill, are merely a written promise to pay, or promissory note of the state. If this same ' sort of promise were made by an individ ual, it would be termed his promiS' ! sory note. Tho legal effect is no by the state and called a bond, or signed iby an individual and called a note. (It is merely a written promise to pay for value received. Therefore, it has none of the elements of bond age. But our friends are appealing to the prejudices and passions of the voter and ringing the changes upon the words "bondage and "slavery." For shame, that men should resort to such methods in discussing a pure' Jy business proposition! (To Be Continued.)

In "Castles for Two," she has a wonderful oppor tunity to show hor ability as a comed ienne, and is also given plenty of scope for her dramatic talents. The story of "Castles for Two" has to do with the adventures of an mi -pulsive heiress, 'who, tiring of social life in New York, flees with her nurse to Ireland, and disguised as a maid, wins the heart of an impecunious but fine Irish lord. The efforts of this young society girl, trained to be waited upon, to act as a servant in order to make the lord and his wcnlth-sccki.ig family be lieve she is of poor origin, are depic ted by Miss Iloro in her usual charm ing manner.
