OREGON CITY ENTERPRISE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1008. ,
NEWS OF THE COUNTY
BARTON.
A rousing road meeting was held
here December 26, and voted ft 5-mlll
tax for making better roads. Let us
hope we will get them. These things
have been talked of for 20 years, but
still the roada are cut up by mlllmen
and cordwood haulers, who pay next
to nothing for their use. If a blanket
tax was put on wood and lumber of
25 cents per load 'twould be better,
and still that would not fix the roads
they spoil.

Ths University Graft.
Mr. Editor: I notice by the papers
that Principal Campbull and other
unwise friends of the Oregon Univer
sity are beginning to put the machin
ery In motion to secure the vote of
the State for that enormous annual
appropriation of 1125,000.
The superlative gall of these people
after trying to destroy the referen
dum and putting the country to such
needless expense and trouble by at
tempting to thwart the will of the vot
ers on a mere technicality stands
without parallel In the history of Im
pudence. The people who carried
round the petitions asking that a ref
erendum vote on that monstrous graft
for the University are not likely to
forget the contemptible tactics the
beneflclaricH of that Institution resort
ed to to nullify their labors and de
privo the people of their rlfthts and
privileges. And they now called up
the granges and those who signed the
petitions to complete the work they
began to Bland by their colors and
teach Mr. Campbell and his other
wirepullers and they cannot bulldo.e
the Independent taxpayers into doing
what they do not believe In. The p.
pie are deeply Indebted to the Su
premo Court of Oregon for standing
by their rights and teaching certain
pettifoggers, miscalled ludirea. Hint
their knowledge of law and sense of
Justice are about equal to their love
for the taxpayers. Let ub show that
we appreciate the efforts of our
friends and workers by coin to the
polls and polling such a majority
against tnis bareraced graft as will
open wide the eyes of Judge ( ?) Oal
loway and other lime-servers like him.
Yours truly,

How the World Grows.
In a little more than 100 years, ac
cording to Government' figures, the
population of the world has grown
from 040,000,000 to 1,000,000,000, an In
creaso of 150 per cent. At the end
of so many hundred centuries, in oth
er words, there were In the world In
1800 only 040,000,000 of persons, and
In IOC years, from 1800 to 190(1, to this
number had been added 900,000,000.
The total commerce of the world In
1800 was about one and one-half bil
lions of dollars; In 1900 It was more
than twenty billions of dollars. Oth
er figures show that In wealth and
the growth of various Industrial agen
cies the Increase has been far swifter
than that of population.
The overpopulation of the world ta
not a present menace to the thinkers
of today, but the thinkers of a period
when there was less than half as
many people in the world as there are
now seriously debated the Imminence
of the catastrophe that the over
crowding of the earth would produce.
