Sixty people in one of Ihn New York banks walked out the othet day when officials of the institution refused to recognize their union nnd reinstate an employe who, they de dared, had been discharged unfairly. It is news to most people that bank workers have been organized any where. The union In question was started only a few weeks ago, and members say that it has nlready morn than 2000 members in New York City. This is certainly a striking commen tary on the present trend of the or ganized labor movement. All sorts of occupations never before associated with "labor" are being swept into it. The spectacle of hank employes join ing such an organization nnd adopting 'jucSPONSIHII FOR THE OM.V iVe must assume thnt the genllemer who have Issued a cull for a convenlioi tg meet in St. Louis in December foi tho purpose of launching a new part 5 have some such object in view. Thoj are emphatic in their denunciation of Democrats and Republicans, who an accused not only of lack of prmcinlr and common sense, but of cowardice and insincerity. If they have a speci fic program other than the marshall ing of all the virtue and all the talent?; iu opposition to these sordid masses, they have not as yet made it puMic. The failures of government by par ty, as ndticeable today as in FranklinV. time, are due not so much to the inev itable decadence of parties as to tht failure of the people to use parties an hulruments of their will. It is not of ten that nil parties go wrong at tin same time, yet so strong ace party habits and prejudices that members of a party in error find it exceedingly dif ficult to co-operate with n hated party thnt may be in tho right. Some respectable characters endorse the proposed new departure at St. Isouis. Admitting that their following is as grent a they hcheve it to he, on: they sure that their influence, which if exerted within and upon nn existing organization might be decisive in de termining its purposes, will not by separate ncton lose its force nltogcth? er?

I think it was wrong like ninny others. Hut the law has heen passed, the constitution nuthoj i.es it. and the taxpayers of Union county mu.-it pay their proportional part of these '.hills put through hy the last legislature, whether in the form of direct taxes or in the fjrm of indirect taxes on nuto mohiles. We ennnot escape it. The luetion now is shall we receive our proportionate part of. these great sums, or shall wo pay and receive nothing in return, and let the other counties which meet the state's part with an ndditionnl county levy receive all. It hi a ease iff self-defence. We must either nt this time do the coun ty's part or let the opportunity pass. Our neighhoiing. counties, Umatilli, linker tmd Wallowa have all decided o come .in on the program, and this would isolate Union county so far a? haul-surfaced and permanent road:-' are concerned unless we meet tiie state appropriation. I frankly confess that I am in favoi of good roads that are passable lt(i"i days in the year. All countries, an cient or modern, thnt have heen con Mdercd to he the enlightened nations Irivo hail gond roads. The conditions ot the nrteiMM of coma-.erce nf a com munity are always a good criterion of its pregrt ssiveness and prosperity.

The first payment comes five vear from now. nnd the bond', are issued. ns needed not over ? 100,tw0 in any one year. I have no interest iu the matter "x cept that of n citizen who wants Un ion county buiM up, I do not expec: to speculate in bends, sell materials to the construction com pan ie- or furuili upi)lies. and expect to pay my prop r tMiual part of the taxes to meet the bond issue if carried.
