So tar It Is apparent that tho big fight of the solution will take place over tho proposed bills for tho con solidation of tho functions of tho l'ort of Portland Commission nnd tho Dock Commission of tho city. An usual It Is In tho Multnomah delegation that tho fight Is taking placo. Tho l'ortlanders cannot ngrce among thomsolvps and the men from 'tho sago brush nnd from tho coast country will have to sottlo their pro blems for them. Thorn nro ninny legislators who would attempt to solvo tho road problems of tho Btnto, somo by onu tnothod; others by practically stop ping tho road program whero It Is today. Tho tamper of tho good nmds men In tho early days of tho no slou has not been fixed, tho thoro Is llttlo llkllhood of drastic rjail leg islation getting tho approval of the majority. In this connection tho proposal of (lovornor Olcotl to eliminate tho iiunrtor mill road tax nnd divert tho funds thus secured to tho roform school Is not seriously considered, on peclally by men from districts whero llttlo or no road work has been ilono. Neither Is tho proposal to re duce llconsutt to 1 por oar grouted with much favor. If so absurd a proposition wore outortalnod tho loglslatora of nocos nlty would huvo to return to tho old system of douhlu taxation nnd hnvo iiutos taxed ns personal property mm well ns Ilconsod. If this wore not done auto owners would bo given 1111 udvnntngn to whloh they nro'not miw titled. Kvon under tho proseut sys tem thu llcoiiso for n high powered oxponslvn oar Is lot than what tho tax would be upon It woro It nwowwd on tho wimo basis as nthor personal proporty. If tho legislature wants tho road program to continue until the s (mil Is completod It will not tamper with tho rovonuo funds noedod to rc tlro tho bonds Issued thus far ;or othorM up to the four per cent limi tation. If anything Is dnuo It should Ik) that which wilt Incroase, rather than docrmiH) tho road revenue. Such Is the prnpiwwl to Inoroaw the gnsolino tax from one to two omits per gallon. If Miieh mi Increase Is made, It In tho HiiKKustlou of tho Highway Com mission, that tho fund thus necurod be set mtldo for tho purpose of main taining tho highways and that pro vision ho made for continuous main tenance, cither with or without co operation with tho counties. It U ilio theory of those propos ing the luoruuso In gusolluo tax that it will reach thoso who use tho roads on n moro equitable basis, and will yield at Iwist n half million annual ly for tho upkeep of tho hlghwoys, Thoro Is llttlo llkllhood that the MUggoetlon of the commission that tho legislature surrender to the com mission nil rlKht to destKuate state highway will bo followed, for legls latlvo bodliw are not prone to cur tail their own privileges taxes. There's tho rub. In theory Incomo taxes would bo tho most Just to tho Individual. IX ho earned no gurplus over 'say, $2,000, It married ho would havo no tnxofl nt all what n blessed stnto.

SOMHKIl LOANS Ob' I10NU8 That tho ilooplo of Oregon want to do their part In showing appre ciation for tho work of tho Oregon men who wont Into tho sorvlco dur ing tho world war, thoro I no doubt. Hut how that can ho done without sinking the ship of stnto In tho prob lem which tho loglslnturo Is fac ing. During tho past year many of tho hoys hnvo been assisted In getting an educntlon nnd given nn opportun ity to rlso In tho. educational world; whllo thoso who hnvo not tnken ml vantage of this law nnturnlly feel that Jhey also aro entitled to con sideration. Just what will happen If many of tho 48 state launch bond Issuee whorowlth to flanco loans for tholr soldlor Iioyh, nnd tho national gov ernment doe tho same, Is not hard to eo. Itut If by doing so It will onnblo tho men to build homes, launch huslnemt enterprise or pur oliaso farms ot do nnyono of sovernl things which If onco started will sot tho wheels of progress turning, It will bo worthy of serious conIdorn tton. It Is a gigantic financial pro hlem nt tho host. WANT TO Mi: SHOWN Officials of the Oregon Public Sorvlco Commission and of tho O. W. It. .fc .N. nnd tho Southern Pacific doclaro that thoy will establish a low rato for hoy from this section to tho Wlllnmetto valley and other coast points If It can bo shown that thoro Is a market In that region for It.

Fend Is ploutlflil and must remain cheap. In order to market tho enormous liny crop of nearly ovory section of Oregon, much wlntor feeding must be resorted to nnd a brisk homo market for much ot our feeding stuff ought to ho In ovldonco. Tho desort section of Oregon, which has formerly been used ns n wlntor rnngo for ninny of our Inter ior sbopliards, but which owing to tho high prlca of sheet, during the war period, was not used bocauso of cortnln winter hazards, is now be ing thrown Into uso for the cheap carrying over of many ot our rnngo flocks. Tho early fall rains hnvo In sured a rank growth of nil desort grnssos and n spring lamb crop far abovo the avorago ought to result from .this year's carry ovor of all rnnco breeding owes. Tho spring market, which hasboon exceedingly poor for tho pnst year should ho ma terially holpcd by purchasers from Montnnn, Wyoming and tho Ilorky Mountain State thnt hnvo oxpo-lenc-od heavy winter lose during last year nnd n Iamb crop ot hut fifty por cent nt tho normnl. Cattlo seem to havo reached the bottom and a slight climb In price might well bo looked for. Woro It not for our nliundnnt liny crop tho feedor and yearling end would he n source nt somo llttlo concorn, but as the food Bltuatlnn In entirely satis factory nnd much outside range Is everywhere reported theito unsold animals may woll be put to tho pro fitable task of gnrnorlug n feed crop that might otherwise go ungnthored StntlBtlos show that Orogon cnttlo profits aro mndo from the rango run ning ot cattle rather than from the food lot. This yenr might show a much better spring balance than Is now looked for.
