years In Clackamas County is greater
than any political or partisan view.
It Is so much money that it should be
taken out of politics. It has no busi
ness there. There is no room for fav
oritism In the modern road making
business. There will bo less in com
ing years.
No road supervisor is bigger than
his job. He is under bonds, it is true,
as Mr. Oglesby argues, but the com
petency of an official is not to be
based upon the amount of his bond.
We quite agree with Mr. Oglesby that
road supervisors are doing the best
they can, but whether their best is the
"Maine" and others sitting tightly on
the lid to prevent just such a coming
ency. With the end of the autonomy of the
independents, every advantage secured
by competition will be at once sur
rendered and every section of the
state that has heretofore profited by
the keen rivalry for business that has
existed between the two systems will
experience the same arbitrary Infla
(lon of rates as has followed the ter
mination of competition elsewhere.

tor will pay the freight. They can
