"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

state for luxuries, but only for neces
sities." This statement is so empty it does
not seem to need a (reply, for since
when did good roads become a lux
ury? 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!

DORO IN ROLLICKING
IRISH DRAMA.
Marie. Doro,' the celebrated stage
and screen" star, who recently scored
sllrh n nrnnnnn'H Riipcpsft in "Olivnr
4 Twist" will be seen at the Arcade to
lj jfdny and tomorrow in the Jesse L.
l.nsky production or the clever Irish
(drama, "Castles for Two," written es
pecially for her by Beatrice De Mille
and Leighton Osmun, and produced for
the Paramount Program under the di
rection of Frank Reicher.
By her beauty, pcronal charm and
wonderful drumatic ability, Miss Doro
has within a year achieved as great
popularity, in the photodrnma as she
did on tho speaking stage. 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.
As tho wealthy society girl, Miss
Doro has an opportunity to display a
number of beautiful gowns, several of
which were designed especially for
this production.
Miss Doro's supporting cast is
headed by Elliott Dexter, aj the young
Irish lord and includes Mayme Kelso,
Lillian taighton, Horace B. Carpenter.

Good Roads Needed.
The fact that the United States is
in war should not detract from the
question of good roads. It should in
tensify it because the need of quick
transportation to market at all times
is more important now than ever be
fore. The quick moving of food stuffs
is a vital matter to the nation as well
as to the producer and the possibility
of the need of moving troops makes
tho best possible highways imperative,
