1 The action of Tennessee's legislature and governor mak
ing it unlawful to teach the theory of evolution in that
state is an example of the extreme to which lawmakers
may go in producing absurdities. One would think that
modern intelligence had passed that stage, that thinking
people had learned more about the theory and practice of
nrcsenUday education than such action indicates. Of courac
the real explanation may be that neither the Tennessee l"1.,"
governor nor the assembly possess either intelligence or the
capacity for serious thought. Such a thing could happen.

SIX MILLION TOIt HIGHWAYS.
According to latest predictions from state highway head
quarters the Oregon commission at its meeting tomorrow
Will lay out and at least partially adopt a plan for the send
ing of six million dollars on the highways of the slat"
this year and part of next. -The expenditures as now an
ticipated will not provide for any major project in Kaslei 'i
Oregon with the exception of filling in the gap on tin:
John Day highway in linker and Malheur counties.
That Eastern Oregon is not to lienefit directly by the
expenditure of slate highways funds on these various
projects is not unusual nor is it unfair l.'XLESS som-j
of the project. contemplated are unnecessary at this tini.1
or lacking iu sound reason. That is a consideration th.
people of Eastern Oregon should give all state highway
programs; it is the only way the interests of all parts if
the stale ciui best be served.
, Whether or not the proposal to spend half a million in
straightening the lower Columbia highway appioacliin-r
Astoria will be approved at this session is doubtful. That
project was not listed as a probability in Sunday's Ore-,
goniaii. Certainly to drop its consideration, as The ()
rerver pointed out some weeks ago. would le a very wi.,
move at this time. The plans do include, however, an ex
penditure of o7.",000 to straighten some cuivcs in the Pa
cific highway between Portland and Salem due to the heavy
trafric demands of this stretch. Again it would seem to
The Observer that there me many projects in Oregon todav
heeding P.I 'H-DINO vastly more than this stretch needs
Straightening. With a Uynl speed limit of only ;',0 miles
ah hour and with a smooth pavement that will stand several
years of hard wear the elimination of mere curves seems
lo be of small imijorlanoe com)arativcly. If Pacific hMi
way traffic observes the state .-peod law it will not In- M'ii
ously hampered by a sharp ttiin here and there along t!i0
way.
Sooner or later the serious need and growing demand
for pavement on the Old Oregon Trail Mweon I .a Ci and.'
and Linker must be recognized by the slide commission'-
and will offer a pioject deserving of the necessary Mate
expenditure. Again we say there is no stretch of macadam
road in Oregon eai lying more traffic and Ix-ing maintained
at greater expense than this mileage. Pavement here is
an inevitable state economy. Kastcru Oregon influence
should concentrate toward the early ucconin ishment of : iocy nnd th.n ftrr hm ...
