It Is reported that at the January term of the County Court there will bo presented a petition asking the Court to abolish all of the road dis tricts in Clackamas County and es tablish one large district, and one very small one, and follow up this revolution by employing a competent road engineer to take charge of the construction and repair of all the roads and bridges In the county. It is said the law provides that at least two districts must be maintained. otherwise the petitioners would ask that the entire couuty be embraced In a single district This is the plan followed In Multnomah County. j The construction and repair of county mads and bridges is In the hands of the County Court, and the personnel of that body after January 1 will be R. B. Beatle, judge, and j W. H. Mattoon and Nixon Blair, com-! missloners. It is up to them to say vogue shall be changed. They must use their own Judgment on matters pertaining to county affairs, and they i must be responsible for results. It Is unquestionably a fact that a great deal of money Is wasted In Clackamas County on roads. It Is also true that politics has at times cut some figure in the appointment and retention of road supervisors. This Is a condition to be deplored. Complete revision of the present system may be desirable, as a means of getting more results for the money expended. In the six months ending October 1, 1910, there was $116,830.33 spent on roads and bridges, and In the previous six months the amount disbursed was $34,373.08. On the first day of October, 1910, Clackamas County was In debt through Its' ex penditures on roads $1464156, along with $5000 accrued Interest But the road question In this coun ty Is a big problem, and often times a most vexatious one. It is probably the most difficult question that the County Court has to wrestle with, and the source from which the most crit icism springs. The very people who demand expenditures in their partic ular locality may be the first to com plain the loudest about the high 1 taxes, losing sight of the fact that ! ; SO years. This reminds us tbut Ore gon City has none, and at every aos- sion of Congress, some wise senator or representative Introduces a bill ap propriating money for the construc tion of a federal building at Oregon Citv. Of course, the bill is never passed, but the fact that It has been introduced looks good In the news papers. This is a proposition for the Live Wires. With Congressman Haw : ley in constant trembling from an in surgent wave and Senator Bourne a (candidate for re-election, the chances mav be good. j 1 The official census gives Oregon ' !T2,765 people, a gain of 62.7 per cent iu the Inst decade. Clackamas County ;is given a little more than 59.000, 'which is disappointing, when we have been claiming 40.000 for more than a Year. However, we were Jolted no harder than Tacoma. Oregon City is not breathlessly waiting for Mr, Durand to speak. This city will prob ably fall short of 6.000, but Is ex pected to show a gain of at least 75 per cent in the last 10 years. Colonel "Bob" Miller, once a legal ' light at Oregon City, who accompa nied the land, off ice to Portland, Is talked of as the new chairman of the I Multnomah County Democratic Cen tral Committee. The Colonel Is out for the place so long held by Alex Sweek, and the election Is tomorrow. "Bob" would sure make a graceful chairman. Judge Thomas F. Ryan, eight years county Judge of Clackamas County, former mayor of Oregon City, and one of the most prominent and Infill- ential citizens of Clackamas County, will leave this month for Salem, where his Initio will bo for the next four years. Mr. Kyan will bo tho right hand bower of Thomas H. Kay, busy gentleman from much of the de tail and routine work of the office. Four years ago Judge Kyan was a candidate for state treasurer iu the primaries, and was beaten In a large field by tieorge A Stool, also of Clackamas. Mr. Stool's financial troubles kept him out of the race for re-election, and Judge Kyan, who Is said to have dropped about $7000 In his contest Jn 190(5, decided to again he a candidate, assuming that the as sembly Indorsement would beat Ralph V. Hoyt. But Mr. Kay stepped Into the arena and Judge Ryan, realizing that two anti-assembly candidates would probably throw the nomination to H-oyl. flipped a coin with Mr. Kay and lost, and did not complete his petition, which left him off of the primary election ballot. It was whispered that Judge Ryan would not be forgotten after election and it is understood that he will as sume the burden of responsibility for Mr. Kay In the office of the state treasurer after January 1. The mag nificent vote of Mr. Kay in Clack amas County at the primary election was greeted with Joy by Judge Ryan, ho will be something more than chief clerk In the state treasurer's of fice and there is no doubt that he will receive something more than the sal ary of a chief clerk. Multnomah County is again anxious to grab a slice of the state legisla ture, and is urging that the state be redlstricted, so that Multnomah would have 30 lawmakers instead of only 20.
