In correcting the mlBtako of pre
vious mmIoiim, and no doubt, making
new onoa to bo corrected by succeed
ing gnthorlngft; If tho chnrnctor of
tho hills Introduced Is n proper cri
terion for Judumont.
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

In theory Incomo taxes would bo

STOCK NUTATION
Tho llvo stock Industry Is passing
through tbo long looked for read

must tnko placo beforo the hudnos
would get back on n firm foundation
Tho surprising thing has been that
things aro ns good ns thor are. No

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.

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.
In conversations with a number of
dairymen of thnt region It wns learn

this sppotal session of Congross may
ostnbllsh. 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

terially holpcd by purchasers from
Montnnn, Wyoming and tho Ilorky

Cattlo seem to havo reached the
bottom and a slight climb In price
might well bo looked for. Woro It

the food Bltuatlnn In entirely satis

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. Tho Orogon cattle
producer has materially Improved
tho finality of his animals by tho
bringing In and usn of pure blooded
