Ono of tlio finest gifts of which
wo hnvo hrnrd being given at this
Christmas season was Hint of a
child's life This gift was mado by
an Ontario man, nnd this Is how ho
did it: I!p gavo his wlfo $10 to
subscribe to fund for tbn rellof of
tho starving Europoan Children.
That' child's llfo Is hor Christmas
Q I ft.
Think of It. Tho gift of n llfo.
Could thora bo any gift, savo that
which Tho Master described when
ho said:
"Orratcr lovo hath no man than
this, that a mnn lay down his llfo for
his friend." ,
Next to that supremo gift, It
soomn to UK, Is tho gift of continued
llfo to those starving chlldron.
If thoso chlldron wcro near nt
hand, say In Idaho or Washington,
wo, mon and women, and chlldron
too, of Oregon would bo striving
ovory day to glvo thorn more than
Just ono bowl of soup. Wo would
bo sending clothes and anything also
thoy might need to rollove tholr
dlstrosi.
Tlio they nro far away, the ttareo
and n half million starving child
ren of Europo aro Just as real as
though thoy woro In our own land
Thoy neod our help Just as urgently
Tho call roaches us now, nnd with
othor Americans, Oregonlani will
answor It. i
end of n gtvon time Mainour county
wilt havo a comprehcnslxa system,
Wo bcllovo that such n, program Is
posstblo, and it is worthy of tho
study of tho County court, nnd wa
know will rccolvo sorlous consldor
ntlon from that body.

Sam Kosor, socrotnry of tho stato
for Oregon, linn Inaugurated n move
ment that should result In groat good
for tho western states. Mr. Koser
proposes that Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and California enact uniform
nutomobllo laws.
It so happens that tho nutos of
nil of tho Htntcs, bordering on Oro
gun usa tho ronds of this stato n
groat deal. In this section many
Idaho cars oporato continuously,
whllo Oregon cars oporato Just ns ox
tonslvoly In Idnho, Along tho Col
umbia rlvor, Washington cars cross
to Oregon every day, "whllo on tho
southern border tho California li
cense) plato Is by no moans n stran
gor. Tho uso of nutos, tho dlstnnco tra
versed by touring cars nnd trucks
Increaso tho need for uniform laws.
This Is particularly truo In tho enso
of trucks, which havo becomo tho
greatest enemies of good roads.
Tho othor dny ovor on Dead Ox
Flat tho writer saw n truck, appar
ently overloaded, plowing thru tho
mud. It was throwing dirt nnd dig
ging ruts In tho road nt n rate al
most beyond Immaglnntlon. Mnl
hour county Is going to pay n grca't
deal for that ono trip that truck
mado; nnd that truck carried nn Idn
ho llconso.
No doubt Oregon trucks nro dnJng
tho samo thing ovory day ovor In
Idnho. Wo nro cortnln that lit tho
case for wo hoard an Oregon truck
driver, whoso truck Is ratod at two
and a half tons, dcclaro ho could
with his trailer enrry six tons. Wo
havo hoard slnco that ho boasted of
bringing eight tons from IJoIbo to
Ontario.
What docs this moan? It means
that ronds built with tho llconso
funds of thounnds nt n'lcnsuro cars
aro being torn up by a comparative
ly fow truck drlvorB who pay but a
small fraction of tho costs of tho
highway. It Is absolutely unfair.
Tho truck men nro nsklng tho nvor
ngo nuto owner to mnlntnln a rlght-of-wny
for thorn, for which thoy pay
practically nothing.
Whllo tho secretaries of states aro
about It, thoy should ask tho leglsla
turo to compoll tho Installation of
scales at convenient points in ovory
county, in ovcry town, If nocd bo,
and boforo n truck drlvor loaves to
travel over n stato highway ho socuro
a weight from an official weight
mas tor. Unless somo such schoma
Is adoptod tho stato of Oregon, and
Its ulster statos will soon tlnd that
tho vast sums expended on high
ways hns been wnstod.
CI IltlS'MGttnSMTIONSt
Among many publications which
this yoar prcsontod tholr rcador with
special editions espoctnl mention
should bo given tho Mldvnlo Itoport
or, from Mldvnlo, In Wnshlngton
county, Idnho. Tho Mldvnlo Is not
n Inrgo town, Its publisher, Ocorgo
Hochestor last weok ftont forth 30
beautifully Illustrated pages of the
possibilities of that community and
tho surrounding country,
Not to bo out dono by Mldvnlo,
tho Wotscr Signal contributed n
hnndsomo 24 pngo edition tolling of
tho opportunities of tho metropolis
of Washington county. Many con
tributors ntded In limiting tbo Issue
ono of which tho Signal forco mav
well bo proud.
Doth tho Blgnal and tho Iloportor
woro gonorously supported by tho
business men of tholr communities
and pleasing ndvnrtlsomonts were
conspicuous In both editions.
Whllo wo nro answering- tho np
ponl for tho noody of Europo of
co ii tbo wo should not forget, nor will
wo forpo, tbo" who need our .holp
this ChrlBtmns tlmo horo nt home.
Fortunately wo havo comparative
ly fow of tliOHO who aro In dlro need
That wo havo somo thoro Is no doubt
but wo must remember them.

Tho numbor of mon who admlttod

Next yoar Malheur county will
have tho largest road fund In many
yoars. This Is the result, not ot tho
plan of tbo county court but of a
wlso law which the legislature pass
ed a fow yoars ago compelling tho
levying of a tlvo mill tax for high
ways. Whllo tbo sum which the county
Is to ratsp Is not sufficient to meet
tho noeds of tho county for good
roads to ovory section, It Is of such
proportions that If oxponded on a
doflnlto program, will in say five
yoars secure the construction of good
roads to all sections.
