THE COUNTY'S RIGHTS
JL ACK of def iaite authority- results ofttimes in defeating the ends of
justice. Men set about to defeat laws in various ways. Two of the most
common methods are by ignoring them or by trying out some subterfuge.
,Th,e evasiqn (jhe authority of "the county over the public dance halls
within its borders is an example.
Recognized as attended by influences generally a menace to the youth
who attend them and hence antagonistic to the welfare of the county itself,
these places have; had to obain licenses from he county court. And these
licenses carry such restrictions as time of closing, proper management, etc.
Liquor is barred by constitutional law from these (places as from all other
places in the state.
The history of the Oak Grove dance pavillion is sordid reading. The
county court finally refused the proprietors license and they defiantly pro
ceeded with their civic curse. Drunkenness and conduct even worse 'was
reported and protested against by officers and other citizens.
The proprietors claimed a right to run the place under the protection
of incorporation papers granted by the state to them allowing them to run
the place as an "amusement" place Sheriff Wilson 'did n't see it that way
and arrested the pair of operators. They were admitted to bonds and be
fore the courts could try out the laws in the case, Tregaskis, one of them,
left the country by the death route, and the matter was dropped.
Now occurs a similar case of law defiance at the Boring dance hall, run
by S. E. Waller. The county court revoked the license and the proprietor
continues the operation. On Sunday morning, three hours after midnight,
the. time required by license for closing, the place, was open and Sheriff
Wilson and deputies arrested Arthur Gray of Sandy., for being drunk at the'
dance and he was fined $55 by Judge Noble, on Monday.
Waller defies the county claiming a right to run the" place for the
"amusement" of members who pay a fee of J1.00, which admits them to the
hall. - ,
This matter should be decided by the courts without delay. The sheriff
as the county's chief executive should be empowered, if he is not now so
empowered to control these dance halls, road houses and other similar
places in the county. It is the duty of the state to back the counties in these
jmatters but it is not the state's right or duty to grant such privileges as
these which set at defiance common decency and obedience to county de
mands upon the basis of moral demands.
If the county lacks the authority to control these dance halls and road
houses, the legislature should lose no time in passing a definite workable
law giving the counties this right. ,
USE OR
ONLY about 70 per cent of the registered voters of the state went to the
polls and voted at the last election. The total registration of Oregon is
345,891 qualified voters, while the combined vote for governor "was 100,000
less than this number.
And this immense number--almost one-third of the voting strength
remained away from the polls when the most important questions of govern
ment were being subject to the voters' will.
The interest at this election, too, was not ordinary. It was intense. The
weather was fine. Altogether there was less reason for the stay-at-home
vote than usual.

THE CHILD WHO POUTS
By Marion Brownfield -
The child who pouts Is a problem,
as the tendency to remain sullen and
disagreeable may easily become a life
time habit known as a "bad disposi
tion." There is a little fellow who pouts
when he takes a notion that he does
not want oatmeal for breakfast, and
the young miss who purses up her
lips when her. mother decides it is
not best for, her to wear a certain
frock "she fancies. When oue knows
the direct cause of a pout, it is com
paratively easy to deal with. But
with children, the bad humor may
really go farther back than what ap
pears to be the whim of the moment..
It is because children are made more
sullen, bitter, or deceitful by unjust
punishment that one must be care
ful to understand the real cause of a
pout . With children there is such a
difference in personalities, just as
much as with grown-ups, that one
must study this also, if one is to cure
the pouting habit successfully. And
some children have fancies and
moods that are much more difficult
to adjust than the safety pin that
caused baby's pout.
Some . children, indeed, of change
able disposition, pout often at trivial
things, plainly the displeasure of the
immediate moment While children
of deep .natures, sensitive at unsus
pected spots, will be "down in the
mouth" for some hurt or disappoint
ment, quite, unperceived by those who
did not happen to be' present when
the stab came. Boys, especially, be
ing slow to confide their little rebuffs
to anyone through sheer masculine
pride, will be out of humor at seem
ingly ridiculous or unreasonable
things, when something underneath.
THE PEOPLE'S SAY
Logan, November 12, 1922
Editor Banner-Courier: -
In view of recent political events in
Clackamas county in connection with
the scheduled road district meetings
on November 25th, 1 think it a good
time to discuuss means and plans for
carrying out our road bonding law.
To start with, I voted for that law, in
good faith, after a full consideration
of the merits and demerits, as urged
by friends and foes and have ever since
hoped for a county court with the
courageous intelligence to take the
lead and advise the people how best
to carry on the 'work. I realize that
delay in the work has been fortunate
so far, but I think the time for action
has arrived. Prices are down as much
as we can hope for, our anti-bonding
friends with the recall bee in their
bonnets, were not as numerous as ex
pected, and best of all, as 1 firmly be
lieve, We have found a way to make
concrete paving fill the bill of particu
lars. I believe concrete to be the only
hard surface road worth considering,
hence the next chapter.
Previous to and for some time af
ter the bonding measure was carried, 1
had not made a special study, of. the
history and recent developments in
paved roadway construction. There-J
fore I was inclined to believe that as
the allowance of 11,000 per mile
based on the country's seemingly suc
cessful experiments with an asphaltic
paving plant, that such a so called
hard surfaced road was as a doctor
would say, "indicated by the diagno
sis of the patient's condition," finan
cial and general.. Since then, I have
been earnestly studying the subject in
every possible way and from , every
angle, with the idea firmly imjlanted
the franchise Is Inexcusable. It is
civic taste and progress by plans for

unnecessary appropriations for organi

that they are ashamed to confess,
rankles.
Young children, too, of sensitive
natures will pout in company out of
pure diffidence. The writer knows of
a boy of three, who invariably pouts
and hangs his little head in company
until his older brothers and sisters
have ceased to notice him, when
he becomes less self conscious and
the pout disappears. Another boy, the
most sensitive of three brothers, de
veloped a pout through self defence!
As he was less aggressive naturally
than his two other brothers they took
advantage of it and gave him the
worst of it at every opportunity. The
consequence was that not being a
fighter he developed a chronic pout
that the family for a long period
termed a "grouch." It kept every
one from teasing him. The sullen
looks made them leave him alone.
It was only when a discerning
grandma visited the family that she
suggested the real cause of the pouts
to the family. And sure enough when
the other brothers were carefully pre
vented from annoying the child, he
mellowed up!
So to cure the pout effectually, one
must consider . the cause before ap
plying a "remedy.
- A boy of most any age can under
stand the appeal "to be a good sport"
and "not to whimper, when you're a
loser." . It can be urged on almost
any occasion to prevent pouts that
come from disappointment, a thwart
ed appetite or failure to win in
game.
Ignoring the pout is a tactful me
thod with a certain type of child. The
kind that - has "temperament" loves
to have his emotions noticed and
catered to. So utterly Ignoring these
pouts is the best way to discourage
the child from, trying them again.
in my mind, that if, as has been
claimed, we are bonding future gener
ations to pay for these roads, ours Is
the duty, if possible, to build roads
that future generations can use. Also.
the obligation to ourselves and to pos
terity, remains the same whether we
who build the roads pay for them or
not; we must get the best, the safest,
the longest lived roads that our hard
earned money will buy. Let us not
build slick, dangerously narrow roads.
supposed for two-way traffic and not
much too wide for one way, that can
only be made to approach any way
near the life of a good concrete road
by spending two or more times too
much for the foundation.
Let us not build asphalt roads just
because the base may be considered
ready, because the county has a pav
ing plant, and the court might think
that the easiest way to carry along
its responsibility, nor yet because such
roads are yet somewhat fashionable
in Oregon. Their popularity will wane
very rapidly when the big repair bills
begin to increase in a geometric ra
tio, as they soon will.
There are only three states in the
union that are clinging to asphal;
pavement and Oregon is one of them
with the largest per capita bonded in
debtedness of all the states except one,
scarcely a start has been made to pay
the debt and the roads constantly be
ing hammered into the earth by the
traffic. Is it not time for us to profit
by these big mistakes and while we
have a chance, go to concrete for our
county - bonding-market roads and
show the state that we know how to
make a good road which is the macad
am we have now flanked on both sides
with 9-foot concrete, preferably 8 in
ches thick. Such a road would out
class any asphalt road In Oregon, even
the famous Columbia river highway,

The strongest endorsement ever
given any musical instrument
There are no better judges of performance than,
those who' themselves perform. Practically with
out exception, all those who represent most in the
world of musical art choose the Victrola as the one
best instrument to perpetuate their achievements.
- The purchase of a Victrola therefore carries with
it assurances of satisfaction which can be obtained
in no other music-producing instrument
Victrolas $25 to $1500 ' -.
TERMS TO SUIT
It's not a Victrola unless
35t
and with almost entire safety.
Of course, we cannot, with our pres
ent allowance, complete this perfect
road but we can leave off our side for
future consideration,' and thus meet
the expense, as a clay foundation is
all that is needed. .
In my district, No. 31, we need to cut
Clear Creek hill and make a new grade
on Fredrich's hill, so I propose we levy
a 5 coill tax, ask the same amount
from the market road fund and get
busy on the road progham so we can
keep up with the procession. If we
get the roads and die in the harness
before the debt is paid, I think we
can save on funeral expenses, as time
is money.
Oregon asphalt pavements, 16 feet
wide and 5 inches thick, with the base
already laid, in many cases, and not
entering Into the cost, have averaged
the same cost as Washington concrete
roads 20 feet wide. Oregon roads are
going to pieces and Washington roads
ahe standing up under a much heavier
load, except at some of the edges.
Concrete roads only deteriorate
from wear or breakage in ihe first
year and the wear is very, very slow.
The crushing or sustaining strength
of asphalt paving is much inferior to
concrete and it deteriorates with age
and upward climb of the oil. Choose

S. P. MAKES READY FOR
FUTURE DEVELOPMENT
The Southern Pacific company has
placed an order with steel plants in
the East for 75,000 gross tons of
rails for delivery In 1923, according to
announcement made here today by
William Sproule, president of the com
pany. The value of the order is be
tween 13,000,000 and $4,000,000.
Of the .amount of rails ordered, sub
stantially 73,400 tons were placed with
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad
Company and the balance with the
Lorain Steel Company. - -
Approximately 50,000 tons of the
rails, or- two-thirds of the amount or
dered, will be used on the Pacific sys
tem of the Southern Pacific.
This will provide a total of 330 miles
of rails for use in the West, of which
217 miles is to be of 110-pound rails
and 113 miles of 90-pound rails. The
110-pound rails are the heaviest ever
used in railroad -construction work
west of the Rocky Mountains.
, Increasing traffic in the Fest and the
use of the new heavier locomotives
in hauling trains is responsible to a
large extent for the huge rail order
placed by the Southern Pacific.
The new rails are for use in con
struction work during the year 1924.
Extravagant Sympathy.
"Did you get any satisfaction when
you reported the theft of your car to
the police?"
"Not much," replied Mr. Chuggins.
"The Idea seemed to be that I ought
to be ashamed of myself for being so
careless as to own a oar and leave
It around as a temptation to some
poor chap who don't own one."
