PLANNED FOR STATE!
GOOD ROADS ACTIVITY.
From the reports of the activity
among the people of Oregon who be
lieve In the development benefits to
be derived from the construction of
good roads It seems that after many
years of talking a practical effort Is
about to bear practical results. No
one has ever questioned the necessity
for good roads. The development of
every community where transporta
tion has been made easy by meins
of solid roadways bespeaks their valve
as an Investment. Oregon has njw
the opportunity to avoid the mistakes
mode In other states. The establish
ment of the unit system of road build
ing, that Is, permitting each county
to organire and conduct Its own p'an
of highway improvement aided by the
state and organized agencies who con
tribute freely to the cause for the sake
of the good to follow, will constitute
the avoidance of one serious mistake
that has harmed the work of other
states and communities that have gone
wild on the state road fad. Oregon
needs local roads to serve local needs.
The five good roads bills now before
the legislature deserve support and
adoption because they look toward this
human, and certain of them prone to
be weaker than others. Many times
poor management can be more de
structive of healthy finances than ev
en dishonesty. A dishonest official
who Is wise knows about how much to
steal, and when to quit. Hut a waste
ful manager who Is not stealing, but
just grossly negligent or careless, !
never can tell Just how widespread j
Is the disaster of w hlch he Is the fath- j
er, and w hlch he must somo day face. !

One of the promising signs of ihej
times comes In the move of the leg
islature to curtail expenses where w ' "' Senator Mofullongh. which Is

WHY SHOULD THEY.
It is proposed to tax the farmers
and producers of Oregon $100,000 a
year to patrol the forests of the state
to keep them from burning. These
forests are mostly in the hands of a
trust and some big Interests. They
are said to be worth eight hundred
millions of dollars. They are capable
of paying for their own protection,
and a
