IF I CilT LOCK3AW iTa BE VOuR FAULT -OO!, If t i A nation should renu'inlx-r these days that cocking the gun is very similar to rocking the IhkiI. The economical Juno bride will always cook more than is needed so as to have left-overs to use up. Some of those trout on I'ive Points Creek that have bficn waiting five years for an accommodating fisherman to take them out are "dinned small for their age." There always seem to be enough signers for anything being circulated to accomplish the aim of those whose acs need grinding. As a result Oregon loses considerably ovr a million dollars in revenue until the next general election and it's revenue needed badly. The plea of President Coolidge on Memorial Day fo. local law observance is a plea that every community in the nation needs to heed. Not that we, in Union count), or other people in other communities, are particularly and dangerously lax, but it is true that observance of the com munity and slate laws is looked upon with too much indif ference. Only by solving law and order problems at home first can we hope to be able to accomplish much nationality. i President Pionnar of the Northwest Realtors, in his ad dress' to local real estate men Friday, said that something less' than 50 percent of the families in the United States own their own homes and from that number come only 10 percent of the divorces and domestic difficulties on the court records. These estimates were made by Judge Sab bath, famous Chicago jurist, and certainly tend to prove that home owneiship provide:; a domestic anchor as well as many comforts and joys iu living Uiut might otherwise become obsolete in modem life. People who own their owti homes or who are winking towaid that god are always the substantial, dependable, worth-while citizens of a com munity. To train the youth of the land in the advantages f owning homes is one valuable safeguard for the future. j THF, ECONOMY OF C(!()l KOADS. ' Although road building and maintenance in Oregon is romething of a burden on a few classes of taxpayers vlc Cannot benefit by them directly, our excellent highways are oulstanding'ecoiiomies for the average motorist. They arc expensive to build and keep up, but they would be more expensive to be without. The mileage of hard-surfaced roads iu this country is estimated by the department of agriculture at about !50, 000 miles. And this lipac corrects an assumption likely to have gained giourd that the amount of road building icheduled for any one year provides a net gain in road im piovcment. We are not proud .if the fact in some instances, as the lebuildieg piojccl on the lower Columbia highway costing over a quarter nf ;i million, but a large part of th we'll carried on annually, and probably Hie major pal'., ((insists in rebuilding or ivau facing roads pieviously rated as hard-surfaccd but v.hich come in for heavy repair con tracts. The actual gain in new construction ;ince is estimated at alxuit (io.noo miles. Improved mads, the department remarks, are not lnx mics. For the movenunt of every vehicle over the road there is a certain cost which is le.-s if the road be improved than if it be left in the slate of natuie. It is therefoi. in'y reasonable to say that the only limit that should be placed on oxpcmlituie for load impioveinent is the amoum which can be saved in vehicular operating; costs.

I lie oiqionents of the new law stated as a fact thai not private or parochial school in the state had been deficient or delinquent in any respect; that none had taught objectionable or prejudicial subjects or unpatrio tic doctrines; that if they weie inferior in any respect to the pibtlc schools the remedy ::t. not in legislation which would de stroy them, but in acts to regu late them; that the new law wonid not result in broadening the edu cational field or in correctinsr cvrls or In promoting the general wrd laro of the people. They denounced as without foundation the charge made I y friends of the new law that the increase in crime among children was due to private schools, an I that such schools were eond .!! by bolshevists, communists and syndicalists. Never before had a state, they declared, attempted lo prohibit u distinctly useful busi ness, whose beneficial effects had never been questioned. If pri vate schools could be prohibited, they said finally, any lawful busi ness Jn w hleh the people may be engaged, could be destroyed r.l the will of the state.
