ONTARIO ARGUS PUBLISHED EVEHY THUKRDAY Enteral in the pottefltt t Ontario OrrKnn, tor trnticmififm IhfOegfc the mail as Aeconl-olaw" matter. M. E. BAIN. Publisher. It in always too early to rip, but never too late to mend. The country moat in need of a little compulsory education is Mexico. Too many people spend today what they hope to earn tomorrow. You don't catch much game when you go hunting with a brass hand. The postmaster-general has discovered that the parcels post is a revenue producer for the department nod wishes to In crease the charges of packages and reduce the weights, but he has the railroads, express com panies and their hired men to fight. Jonathan Bourne is in the front of the fight against a change, hut it is almost a cer tainty he will he around in a few months hegging the support of the people so he may gn back to the senate and misrepresent them. The voters should not overlook his action on this matter. the work by contract and send ing the money out of the city. The agitator can usually gain an audience of men who have no reasoning faculties and de pend on others to do their thinking and they automatically do what they are told. The only man who ever gets any benefit from the work of the agitator is the agitator himself. A few broken promises will keep a man busy the rest of his life trying to pick tip piecet. Mexico is so fastidious that it ddes not permit any American citizen to become socially popu lar whose rank is below that of ninbaxnador. Nearly everybody is willing to concede that the earth re volves around the sun, but when the astronomers insist that the sun in farther from the earth in summer than in winter they j. iii-iic a perspiring populace too far. When county funds can be found for opening expensive new roads and the graveling of the highways for auto trallic between Ontario and Vale, it should be possible to find money to provide passable roads in the communities where the cash is collected in the greatest de gree Nvhhu Journal. If the Journal woul . lake the tumble to make uu investigation it would find the improvements in the Ontario road district are paid for out of the road taxes collected in that district and not with county funds. Most every paper one picks up has something to say about the slit skirt that is beiug intro duced in the cities by some of the leaders of fashions. Many cities have forbidden the wear ing of them on the streets, while in otheis they have prepared for them and have the lights so arranged to make the most of the exhibition. There are some staid deacons who object to their being worn on the streets, probably finding it hard enough to tread the narrow path with out this new temptation and we believe their feelings should be rospected. The ladies have a perfect right to exhibit their attractions and between the bathing resorts and ball ronnm manage to bare most of their anatomy to the vulgar gaze of the public. Where there it a censorship established on their dresses they might hold recep tions and announce the especial feature they wish to display and then they could restrict the gazers to those who want to iidinii their hcautv unadorned. If Senator Lane is successful in his endeavors to have the red tape taken from the denatured alcohol law so that farmers may manufacture their own fuel it will be hard on the gasoline magnates.

A few weeks ago there The forest reserve officers re port that where permits were taken out a few years ago for 19,000 cattle, this year there are 900, which is in accord with conditions throughout the west. The taking up of the lands where water can be obtained is largely responsible for the dis appearance of ranee entile. An other feature is the loss through theft Vou can go into any of the little hamlets and towns in the cattle growing section! and find men without any visible means ot suppoit, who at times I pear for a week or two to n liii .1 almost always with a buneh ol money, which thej lit -ti'ibnte ainonir the saloons and profettionel poker playere It is a sale bel thai in man in stances this money is obtained irom inc sine 01 sioien came ami horses, because they are occasionally caught with tlic gooda.

With the pr -cut high price of eattle and the greatly decreased number avail able it is certainly an inviting liehl for investment. Articles have recently ap peared in the Nyssa and Jordan Valley papers objecting to the manner in which the road taxes of the Ontario district are being expended. At present the law provides that at least one half of the tax must be expended in the district taxed, the balance may be used by the county court as they see fit. Investigation also discloses that the Ontario dis trict pays a largo per centage of the total collected in the county, and only received the full bene fit the year the bridge was built. With the building of the rail road into the interior there will he an entire change in condi tions and we believe the time is ripe for a change in the manner of expending the road taxes. This year, with less than half of the money collected in this dis trict, thev are permanently im proving over two miles of road by graveling, with the full amount they could cover double thai distance and in a short time the alley would have a system of good rouds, then they could extend these trunk lines to the other important sections of the county. bond patching will never et you ;,ood roads. It is only the permanent improve ments that count. Always on the Job If ynu bare Job of hauling jou waut done, lurga or until, 7011 ran ilttitu I ! -t-n.
