Oregon seems to feel hetter after getting: a lot of those
"No's" out of of her system. Prospects for a prosperous fall
have seldom been brighter.
From every corner of the state, city and farm community,
comes the same opinion the income tax is dead in Oregon.
f such is the wish of the majority of Oregon'n people, some
new plan of revenue must be found. We cannot continue
giving thumbs down on everything and expect the state to
maintain itself.
llyrd'a flight remarkable particularly because he carried
n crew of three other men and cruised for several hours be
yond the time required for the trip, deserves greatest praise
in spite of the disappointment in his erroneous landing. And
while some observers will repeat more emphatically than
ever, "Lucky Lindbergh," the Iiyrd experiment can only
Reive to emphasize the flying ability and reckoning powers of
the man who first flew straight from New York to Paris,
ahead of schedule and alone.

Never before in Union county has there been such com
plete and widely interesting coverage of valley news as The
Observer Js now providing Scone of ieadrshave com
plimented us on the improvement made possible by tho addi
tion 'of pur Valley News Editor. The department takes a tre
mendous amount of work and is being developed gradually
but will eventually make, we believe, the outstanding fea
ture of the paper. It is something wo had planned for more
than two years and it is gratifying to know that the im
provement is meeting popular approval.
Judd Gray, according to Dr. Alex llershfield, state alien
ist of Illinois, "is not insane just a fool," That is evidently
what the jury thought when it found him guilty of first-degree
murder. True, Dr. llershfield says, Cray must have
committed this crime under the influence of an obsession
caused by love. ,Put that does not make him crazy. Dom
ination of one person by another through love is quite pos
sible, love being a strange thing. Hut it does not constitute
insanity in the case of a man sane from every other view
point." In other words, people who do crazy things under
the influence of love are not really cra.y, but only acting as
if they were so. This may seem to be a sort of distinction
without a difference, but intelligent people will get the point
of it. In fact, victims themselves usually appreciate their
position pretty well. The man who says he's "crazy alout"
a woman, and acts the pail, still shows his essential sanity.
The insane man doesn't know he's insane.

MARK KT ROAD KXTKNStON
Tho recent eleoUon cleiuly showed tlie interest in county
road (levt'loimient in I'inon county. Itoiii vanoun opinions
. expressed since Tuesday it U njiimient that eittier u pure
nimket load piosram or even tlie defeated project if projXM'ly
. understood would have carried by a Rood majority. Certainly
in the city of l.a Gnindo, nt least, there is a definite disposi
r' tinn to favor any extension that will lirinjf all-weather roads
to the farms of the valley.
' The small iuai;in by which the road Itonds were defeatedi
j tin's week indicate the possibility of a new and more care-
!'" ! ,u"y desig-ned market road project and should be an en-i
!, cnuraBement to continue the effort the coming year. At j
; ;; the (feneral election a year from this fall the question should
be submitted again either as a complete plan or as several;
" distinct market road extensions, with the features considered!
5 objectionable by some sections of the county either elim-
y inuted or submitted by themselves with alternate plans.
' ! There is no question in most citizens' minds about the
importance, and value of more market road facilities. Oon-i
j trary to the old idea of road construction, we have had
enough experience with Rood roads and their advantages to
know that we pay tor good roads whether or not we have
them. Union county already has a fine system of all-year
roads, connecting every important community. There are
also some fine market arteries in various parts of the valley
but there still remain many rich and prosering agricultural
districts that should be included in an ever-enlarging road;
network. - More and more the valley is beaiminjf diversified
dairy operations, small fruit and vegetable growing and
tho secret of more farm population lies as much with im-j
proved transixirtalion facilities as with unythiiiff else. The)
defeat of the road bonds at this election does not in any way1
indicate lack of appreciation lor that fact rather does it
emphasize it and following up .tho advantage will gradually
meet with approval throughout tho county.
