Kepardless of one's opinions on the various major sulijoet.s of tho present campaign, 1. no cannot fail to admire the hih plane on which ilr. 1 1 oovcr conducts his share of the presidential scrap. The Kinross of the (liaf Zeppelin in its air voyaj;e flom (.ormany to Americii is K'ntifyinn in spile tU the fact that it lequiivd almost as much time for the journey as unii'd i.ormally he consumed hy a liijr ocean liner.

TWO .KKAI-JONK- UWV I.VCOUKKtT O.N'KS j Klsewlioro in this issue is a loiter to The Observer discuss-: znjc the Dunne hill to reduce auto license fees. It is a letter: with which wo disagree hut which wo welcome, nev ; i tholes ., ' ;is an expression of opinion on a most important uo.tion i:r tho coming eleclion. Wo lll'tjo anil invite such let tors, pro and con, as one means of stimulatinn interest and arousiu;;' puhlic sentiment a prime necessity if noveriimcnt is to he truly representative. Discussing Mr. Smith's letter, tho two reasons he cite; ; t'o" tho Kt'neial opposition to the J)unne hill are, wo holieve. ' t.itally inconoct. Certainly they are not responsihlo I'm" '.1 he Observer's opposition to the bill, though they are sound lessons for opposition to a SI! littonso )ilan. j I'nder the piovisions of tho Dunne biil, auto license foer. ill not he cut to such a point that the highway bonds now! outstanding will have to bo carried by property tax levies.! '-he Dunne hill Would cut the licenses appioxiniatoly in hall',: would leave sufficient revenue to lake care of the interest1 .nd retirement of the highway bonds. Therefore no one' opposes tho bill for his first reason, for fear propel ly would have to take on a new tax buitlen. j The second reason given for opposition is lh.it Iho pic..-' cut road building: pro.iriani would be rotauled by lack of funds. That is line, hut it is not a primary reason. Wo tan Rot ali'iuv for a while, perhaps, without const i net inc. new stale highways. We cannot, however, get alone with, out. proper maintenance for the highways wo ahoady have.. 'I lint is tho leal leason for opposition to the Dunne bill.' il. would cut highway revenue so seriously that upkeep of highways would bo only half what il now is and it takes' only a mediocre imagination lo icali.e what our mads would be like with half the present work on them made ini o.-.sili'.e. : Mr. Smith admits tin' inipiovenicnt in Oregon highways' in tho past nine years, but icfcrs to the highway indchU'd aess and asks, "Is it wtnth it'.'" That's a fair .piostion and n'e are perfect 'y willing that the fate of the Dunne led ; Mould be decided on the frank and impartial reply to that ..uestion on 'he p.nt of all Oregon voters. Would we i.ither' I. live our pre. -rut highways and bo without the i:ione wo have spent for license li es and gas taxes, or would we piofcr the roads wo hail nine years ago and be in possession of I Mat noiiey '.' We have no doubt about the majoiity's aiiswei. Other r.tatcnionl.i are made in Mr. Smith's letter to which ' o will give i'dilitional space in a later issue. They are tale i nuts, we a-siimi', that may In generally Ix'lieved il lis' . filial fact, have not been given careful study. We wi'l .oik to submit those tacts anil allow interested voteis lo j,.ilgo for tin nisebos. J Try- W. K. GILBERT CO.
