NEW SYSTEM ENDED
"Permanent Road Work" Should be
Idea on all Highway Improvement -Editor
Courier:
In your paper of the last few is
sues, appear articles on road con
struction, bond issues, etc., all con
demning the bond issue and bewail
' ing the state of the roads U the pres
ent, time, but none offer a remedy or
way out of the difficulty.
As to the bond issue, I am opposed
to it- under any conditions, for the
following reasons:
First On account of the opening
of the avenue for grafting.
Second The cost would be exces
sive 'in the end.
Third Uler the present high tax
rate, for road construction it is need
less. .
' As to the first reason, grafting, we
certainly have enough of it under the
present supervisor system , without
opening the gates to . still greater
graft under larger expenditure, which
wouia occur under a bond issue.
When we travel over the county
during the season of road work and
note the doings of the supervisor,
who thinks a public office is a private
snap, and that, the road tax was lev
ied for his convenience and profit,
can we think that a bond issue with
its consequently greater expenditure,
and chance for graft, would make for
better and cheaper roads?
Under the second heading1, cost,
we have the propagandist idea care
fully hidden by the proposition that
we nave spent money under the pres
ent ' system that has been literally
thrown away. By his method of build
ing roads you would have fine roads
in one year, or, as he would have
you-believe, for one dollar you would
get two dollars' worth of roads.
Now let us see how this will work
out. In the first, we are asked to
bond the county for $600,000. We are
told that we can have 100 miles of
haVd surfaced roads for this sum,
and nothing said of interest on this
sum, or of any possible discount. In
the first place 100 miles of hard sur
faced roads cannot be built for $600,
000, unless you have the cash without
interest and discount.
As the proposed bond issue is the
full limit of indebtedness allowed by
the recent law allowing a bonding of
the county for not more than 2 per
cent of its assessed valuation, we can
not expect to get off with a discount
of less than 5 per cent and possibly
10 per cent. When you add this dis
count and the interest of 6 per cent or
6 per cent, you will find when your
bonds are due and paid for, that you .
will have paid in the 12 years allotted
to the bond issue as its life, very
nearly $1,000,000 for your 100 miles
of road.
In other words you are asked to
pay a toll for the use of said roads,
practically $400 per-mile per year
beside up-keep and original cost.
Now ,ask yourself this question be
fore voting for bonds: Can we afford
the luxury of bonded roads?
; Under the third heading we can
show that the roads can be built
without the privilege of paying th
bond buyer for helping us out.
This year the county court has
levied the following sums for roaJ
work. For general road work, $240,
000; for payment of outstanding road
warrants unpaid, (when, by the way,
we were told a year ago, that the
county was out of debt.) $42,000; al
lowed the voting of $80,000 for spec
ial road work, making a total of
$362,000 for road purposes this year,
...u : u v: n iponn nnn ...;n v
ui wiuuu piauLiuauy fuuu,uw win uc
available in cash. Deducting the
$80,000 special tax leaves $220,000
for regular work; 2 per cent of this
sum or practically $50,000, must be
kept for bridge work. We will still
have $170,000 for our roads and now
comes the remedy.
I propose in place of bonds for this
sum, I would divide it into 3 parts,
according to the county and govern
ed by the market centers of the coun
ty. I would take $50,000 on a road
from Springwater and Logan thru
Stone and Clackamas to Milwaukie,
or Grays Crossing. Beginning at eith
er of the latter places, I would ex
pend this sum in building hard sur
face roads each year untli the first
or second named places were reach-
ed. The other two thirds could be
"spent in the same way, beginning at
a place decided by the people. In
this way, when over $1,000,000 was
spent we would have far more roads
than we could with a bond issue of
$600,000 with its accruing interest
and possible discount.
And now a few words on the grav
el roads. When we build the gravel
and plank roads, we madea radical
departure (from the old system of
dirt road building. Time has shown
that the gravel road under heavy
traffic, has proven only a makeshift,
being only a few degrees better than
the old style road.
We made a change of system as
before and the time has now. come
for another change, and this time we
must make the change, to hard sur
face roads if we would gave money
and lighten our tax burden in the fu
ture. Under the present tax laws pass
ed by the legislature with the con
sent of the people, the poor man or
small taxpayer gets it in the neck
. proper. Who will have to pay inter
est on the unpaid half of his taxes?
No one but the small home-owner and
- people who have gone in debt for
their homes and have not succeeded
in paying for them as yet.
The rich men or large corpora
tions do not generally pay their tax-
' es till the last minute and if they be
come delinquent before paid, they are
never increased by penalties and in
terest. As a proof of this I cite the
report that the Portland General El
ectric Company (now a part of the
P. R. L. & P. Co) allowed their taxes
on mortgages, etc., to become delin
quent to quite a sum and were allow
ed to settle them at a discount of 50
per cent, and spend the money on
roads throughout our property.
Another instance comes under the
present court, when according to re
port, the S. P. was allowed to settle
a special levy of $32,000 against their
Fancy Potatoes
Highest Market, Price paid at all
times.--Write or Phone
W. H. LUCRE
Will be at Hodge's Livery Barn
property at the same discount. Does
this look like the corporations pay
any penalties ;
i win quote a lew lines from a
poem entitled "The Farmer and the
Close."
The farmer sat in his easy chair,
Smoking his pipe of clay.
While his hale old wife, with busy
care, ,
Was clearing the dishes away.
Now you, who are- thinkers and
observers, compare this phase of the
farmer's after supper life, with the
all day life of the office-holder and
tell us the result of your deductions
A word to the wise is sufficient.

GRANGE AIDS COLLEGE
Passes Resolutions Favoring Contin
uation of Degrees at Corvallis
Whereas it' has come to our no
tice through editorials in our news-
papers that an effort is being, or has
been made, to prohibit the Oreeon
Agricultural College from conferring
degrees in engineering to its stu
dents. Therefore be it resolved, That Mo
lalla Grange, No. 310, is opposed to,
and hereby expresses its ' protest
against any action to "cripple and
degrade the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege by depriving it of the right to
grant degrees in engineering."
"The College is pre-eminentlv de
signed to teach agriculture and me
chanic arts and it would be gross in
justice to its students were appropri
ate degrees denied them."
Be it further Resolved, That we
urge other sub-ordinate granges, Pa-
mona granges, State granges, and
other organizations to go on record
as resisting any effort to deprive the
u. a. u ot tne right to grant degrees
in engineering . to its students who
can only afford a four years' course.
And we further request that the Pa
cific Grange Bulletin, and other state
and county papers publish these res
olutions. -
Attest-Passed by Molalla Grange
No. 310, at the regular session, Jan.
3rd, 1914.

Editor Courier:
In my . answers "to Mr. Wright's
questions in last week's Courier -in
Article No. 5, the printer must have
dropped his "stick" and "pied" the
job, and lest the readers get dizzy
going "round and round" I will en
deavor to get the annals up in better
shape.
What we tried to say in ansver to
No. 5.r was that after looking the
comparative anatomy of the horse
and cow carefully over, we find that
their physiological makeup somewhat
differs, when we say "get up" to the
horse there is some "snap" to hii
eyes and ears, as the message for ao
tion is quickly sent to his front feet
First they move, and up he gets.
The cow, being constructed with
the most important parts in the rear,
and when the impression forms in her
slow moving brain to "get up" the
moving command is sent back to the
hind legs first and that end bobs up
and her front comes up at her lei
sure. J. W. Thomas.

Buying to Save Money
Buying Foley's Honey and Tar
Compound saves money because just
a few doses stops the cough and cold
and one bottle lasts a long time. It
quickly heals raw and inflamed sur
faces, stops tickling throat, harsh,
rasping coughs, croup, hoarseness,
bronchial and la grippe coughs.

DEPENDS ON THE APPLICATION
Confiscation was All Right in Slavery,
but AH Wrong Elsewhere
Courier :-
I would like to ask H. S. Clyde
when he changed his mind about con-
hscation.
I believe he served his country in
the Civil war, and I am told this war
was fought over slavery. Now 1 would
ask Mr. Clyde if the slaves were not
confiscated property to please explain
what confiscation means. And
would like to ask him if he did not
bravely risk his life in the cause of
plain conhscation.
I am sorry that you have changed
your mmd,.for we had fully expected
to have the old boys in blue help us
to free the wage slaves. In order to
free them we will have to take over
the public utilities, transportation
means, mines, factories and so on.
Under private ownership the wage
earner is just as much a slave as the
black man was under the lash of the
cotton planter. The question of chat-
tie slavery was a moral one. Wage
slaverv is both economic and moral.
We have laws against turning old
horses, cows or even dogs out to
starve, but our capitalist brother can
do that with the wage slave.
The word confiscation seems to be
construed to suit the individual, in
fact all tax laws could be so con
strued. . But when the tea was thrown
overboard in Boston harbor the colon
ies taken from the British, the abo
lition of chattel slavery, the abolition
of the' liquor traffic, eminent domain,
etg., are moral and economic.
Destroy confiscation and you have
individualism which would be anarchy.
Enforce confiscation and you have co
operation, which would be collective
ism. I believe the wage earner has
the same right to confiscate the tools
of industry as the capitalist has to
confiscate any portion of the wage
earners toil.
Ypurs for the best methods of free
ing the wage slave.
, W. W. Myers.
THE UNEMPLOYED PROBLEM
A Lady's Views and Comment on Re
cent Courier Article
The Courier Editor called our at
tention to a first page article in last
week's paper written by an Oregon
City girl. The editor endorsed the
letter and thought it would make the
readers think in regard to the un
employed that now beseige the coun
try, and indeed we have much to make
us think in regard to the needy who
aie clamoring for help.
We cannot agree with the Oregon
City girl and the editor in regard to
the want work problem. They seem
to have found an unfortunate young
man among the rabble and I suppose
there is still some worthy ones who
by miss-fortune or miss-management
are in the ranks of the "Don't Want
Work" kind. There is no disputing
that the majority of the idle class
are men who do not want work.
We have a neighbor who went to
unemployed men in Portland and tried
to hire three or four men to work on
his farm, ditching, making wood,
etc. As the days were so short and
weather uncertain, he could not offe
high wages, but assured them good
food and accomodations. They gave
many excuses such as "it was too far
from town" and some of them had
been paid 25 cents an hour "where
they had last worked." He did not
succeed in getting any help, further
we can refer to the Idle Army that
went up the valley, stopping at the
cities and demanding food. While
they were at Salem the Governor pro
vided work for forty, uniy lour oi
them stayed with the work. The ten
that were sent to the Insane Asylum
Farm with the promise of $1.50 a
day, after a good dinner, returned to
their clan and reported that the ac
commodations did not suit as tney
would have to sleep in a barn and
it leaked. Now when we remember
that the men, women and children
who have gone to the hop-iieids and
stuck to their jobs through rain and
shine and who were glad of a roof of
any kind that would pretend to shel
ter them while they had a chance to
earn a much-needed dollar, and com
pare these circumstances, it is plain
that "bunch of men" did not' want
to work.
There are seasons when farmers
and ranchers have need of help and
could provide food and accomodations
for men, but naturally hesitate to
take these loose characters in their
homes, for there are some that rob
and some that murder.
The weekly Oregonian of the 29th
of last month gives an account of a
gun duel between a special watch
man and a couple or. armed men, on
Portland heights, in an attempted
robbery. The watchman and one of
the men were badly wounded and
taken to a hospital where the pris
oner confessed that he was a member
of Idle Camp No. 1, and had served
five days at Albany for vagrancy,
and that he and his companion were
out of money.
We are told that the most of these
men are foreigners. It would seem
that a good way to remedy this
trouble would be to cut out that class
of emigration or provide and main
tain an institution where they could
be forced to support themselves. It
is a big problem and one that needs
immediate attention.
We have enjoyed the articles
written by C. E. Spence and G. A.
Schubel concerning the road ques
tions and think they understand the
problem and do it justice.

good for a few days more seeding
will start.
Trees are being felled on the Lib

look different when the timber is all
gone and brush cleaned up and burnt.

and the river is noticeably lower. It
is rumored that salmon trout are run

HERE'S TRUTH' ABOUT
THAT BIG "BOULDER"
Rock "Three Times Size of Man's
Head" is Found by Ex councilman
Truth, crushed to earth, will rise
again. And sometimes wnen it rises
it bumps those who crushed it, and
bumps them quite severely.
Some days ago The Enterprise an
nounced in screaming headlines that
a huare boulder, "three times the size
of a man's head," had been blown from
a blast on a Center street contracting
job clear over the face of the bluff and
nad lanueu in tue iiuuuitt ui mam
street. The fall and crash of this
mifirhtv chunk of rock had frightened
people in the neighborhood, The En
terprise added, and "the children were
forced to remain in doors the rest of
the day."
Harry Jones and Dan Lyons are
the contractors on the Center street
job referred to, and last Saturday
afternoon ex-councilman L. P. Horton
Erave Mr. Lyons the "boulder" of
which The Enterprise had given such
a startling account.
"I was passing along the street
when it dropped," said Mr. Horton,
"and I, thought there might be a yell
about it, so I picked it up to give to
you the first chance I got."
Mr. Lyons borrowed a pair of deli
cate scales and weighed the "boulder"
which tipped the balances at' just one
and five-sixteenth ounces. The "boul
der" was about an inch and a half
long, and possibly an inch in diameter.
Mr. Lyons spent most ot Saturday
afternoon displaying the "boulder,
and endeavoring to controvert The
Enterprise story.
This is not the first time that The
Enterprise has well, has exagger
ated somewhat in its news. Usually
this exaggeration Is blamed upon a
reporter of that paper, but it so hap
pens that in this case the blame can
be laid where it belongs. The day the
"boulder" landed in Main street, a
Courier reporter met the night editor
of The Enterprise along about the
middle of the afternoon.
Have you heard about the big
explosion?" asked The Enterprise
man, of his fellow reporter. "A great
boulder was blown clear from the hill
over the bluff and landed in front of
the boss's father in-law's house on
Main street, and the 'boss has ordered
his children to stay in all day so they
won't get hit if any more come over."
"How big was the boulder, asKed
the Courier man.
"I don't know. I didn't see it," re
plied The Enterprise reporter. "The
boss told me about it, and he said it
was three times the size of a man's
head. 'Some story, eh?" '
This sheds some light on how it
happens that though night editors
come and go, The Enterprise still lies
on forever.

William McLarty, 1521 Washing
ton St., Oregon City, Ore., says: "I
suffered from backache and pains
through my loins, and my strength
and energy left me, and I was miserable-
when I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Deciding to try them, I
procurred a box at Huntley Bros.'
urug co. and by the time I had taken
the contents, I felt so much better in
every way that I did not consider it
necessary to continue heir use. I have
been convinced that Doan's Kidney
Pills are a reliable kidney medicine."
