Progressive everywhere have taken the stai'il
IN r.Sl XIP.XT that good roads are necc.is.iry to the proper development
of the rural districts upon which towns are built. The counties of the old
vorld have long ao reconnirj the fact that a xxi road is the highway to
profit. They have seen the muddy mule paths grow into paved boulevards
over which the farmer could draw his product to market and could haul his
gmuls into the city at a cost so much less than the American farmer pays .is
to make a comparison rcdiculous.
Experience over there has taught them many things. Though their dis
tances are, ad.nitedly, less than ours, the same principle applies. If it cos's
three and four times their charge to haul goods from the farm to the city mar
Let, something is radically wrong with our system.
There is little need for argument for good roads. Almost even-body
nowadays believes in a piod road. Some, however, do not appreciate the in
vesment that agood road hxs for the community that it serves for few t
ihcm have had the advantage of living on an up-to-date thoroughfare where
the mud tax is eliminated. They have not had the chance to see the good
road in operation and to study its wonderful effects upon the cutting of the
cost of transportation.
People appreciate the sen ice that a railroad gives. They understand how
the cost of freight is cut and transportation facilitated. They believe in the
construction of railroad lines and few would in this day and at oppose the
construction of as many lines as could be induced to penetrate any given sec
tion of the country They see where transportation costs are cut by the two
lines of connected steel and the ease with which their crops can reach mar
ket over the steel roads.
As a concrete example of this point, Molalla has for years been shut off,
.1 II 'J T. L I I I . t f . ,. ,
irum inc worm outsiuc. it nas oranenca out into me country trom its little
valley by stage lines running from Oregon City and other points. All of
its freight that reached the people of the outside of this pleasant valley has had
to go through roads that were mud filled and boggy. Only a few passable
roads exist in this county today.
With the coming of the electric road, the people of Molalla have seen the
wonderful opportunities that are before them. They have awakened to the
possibilities that the markets of the outside world has brought to them. These
possibilities and opportunities have come with the coming of the railroad. The
old pioneer days in Molalla are but a memory. The people of that city are
progressive, wide awake, resourceful and they know the meaning of those two
lines of steel rail. x
It means much to them and it will mean as much more as they take ad
vantage of the chances for growth and development that has come with the
road. Molalla is now on the map. It is a railroad point. Its population
will grow and the country around it will developc. All of this prosperity
has come through the construction of that road into a town that has for years
been shut off from communication with the markets outside of the valley.
These facts are just as true when applied to the construction of a hard
surfaced road. It means just as much to the people living along the road as
it does to the people of a community hitherto shut off from transportation
facilities when a road is built through the territory. In all countries and
states where hard surfaced road has been built, the farmers have discovered an
increase in profits and a corresponding decrease in the transportation cost.
Because a farmer uses his own team and wagon to bring his goods to market
is no reason that it does not cost him actual hard earned money to haul that
product to the place he sells it.
In countries with good roads, farmers seldom use the rail lines for dis
tances under 20 miles. They find that they can haul their heavily loaded
wagons into market at a small cost and in a short time and that it entails a
smaller outlay than paying freight bills over the road. In this country, and
jarticularly in this county, a small load, could hardly be hauled 20 milw in a
day sometimes it could not be hauled at all. During the winter month
here, the conditions of the roads are such that they are barely passable at all.
Certainly heavy loads cannot be carried over them.
This is a tax on the people a tax greater than would be the annua! cost
of any bond issue that were made to cover the construction expense. Bec.utst
it comes in a way that the farmer does not feel it is no reason or argument
that the cost isn't just as exactly as any exhorbitant rate that the county or
ftate could levy. It is a mud tax a tax on dirty, boggy roads. It is a
charge placed against the people for allowing such conditions to exit.
These conditions can be corrected if the people but awake to the import
ance of the good road and decide that the boggy, impassable road is t. be ban
ished forever from Clackamas county and that the improved highway is to
be substituted in its place.
O
THOSE STOCK Reports from Portland tell of the first arrests made
SPECULATIONS under the provisions of the new blue sky law. Two
loss. There is now no question but that the law as enacted by the legMatur
f this state will protect the people from many of these schemes that hav
made the western states more or less notorious for the past few years. Al
sorts of fakes have been perpetrated by these scheming simulators and tin-
lu.ve launched cver thing from new irrigation prifjects to insurance and ac
culent companies.
There is no more notorious or worthless rascal generally than the man
who takes the small earnings of others through the medium of some of these
lake schemes. The law is wise in providing a felony punishment for the
perpetrator of such schemes and the punishment of the man who is guilty u
them.
In .1 . it i . , i i . i
n urn me simerings mat nave ncen nmugtit to the new settlers in west
ern states and landed on new irrigation projects that were worthless are
alone considered, regardless of the thousands of other wavs bv which the
speculators profit, there is mi punishment short of the extreme penalty that
is too severe in riding the state of a pest of this kind. The man who brings
people from the Kat to settle on land that he knows nevet has seen watr
and could not get water until dahricl blows his horn, is a felon in the begin
ring and the law but so declares him when it sends him to the penitentiary
ot the state. He has made other to suffer. Why should he not get a tate
of some of his own medicine?
It is not in the spirit of vengance, however, that the state should look at
such matters for the state and socirty generally has no interest but in its own
protection and the reformation of the criminal. Hut it is a protection to the
state and a wall of rock between the innocent and unexperienced investor and
the man w ho schemes and plots to get his money that a law of this kind is
needed and that it has been enacted by the legislature of the state.
I his is the first case that has been brought under the new law. It will
probably mean that the statute will receive its first test in the courts. Though
it is highly probable that- the law will find its way successfully through the
labyrinth of the courts, there is need for some sort of a law that would pro
tect those who need just such protection froiu the fake plotters and get-rich
ouick allingtords that permeate the western states and have permeated
those states for many years past. Stories are daily printed in the newspa
rers of the country of the sufferings of settlers who have been "bunked" b
these enterprising fakers. Many are the stories of death by suicide that have
come as the result of absolute hoplesxness of men and women on some of these
tracts in our western states. Many are the reports of failures in the finan
cial lines, loss of business, loss of homes, loss of families because of the nefari
ous designs and notorious plots of these schemers.
It is to be hoped that the new law will have the effect that it was intruded
by the legislature and that it will successfully eradicate such a pest from this
state and become an example to other western states in evicting legislation
that will protect the innocent and the helpless from the unscrupulous and
designing.
-O-
men have been held under the provisions of the act and are charged with the
violations of the law. They have, according to the charges against them,
sold stocks in their corporations before they obtained a permit from the sec
retary of state.
In this way, the blue sky law stands as a bulwark between the people and
the speculator. It protects the women, the widowed, the fatherless from die
smooth and oily dispenser of worthless stocks. In this and other states for
the past several years, there have been numbers of schemes that have floated I
in which the widows and orphans suffered most heavily.
A loaded gas bag, an inflated proposition from beginning to end, they
nevertheless attracted the person with a small amount of capital to invest
and take the savings of years from those who were the least able to stand the

The Bank of Oregon City
OLDIST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY
LET US NOT SWALLOW According to an Associated Press dispatch
MILITARY FAIRY TALES from Washington, "for the first time in
hitsory Uncle Sam is in readiness, at a moment's notice, to arm and emiin
500,000 men in the event of war."
Reading further we discover that a "plan" for doing all this has been
"worked out during the last six years through the systematic and unremitting
labor of Lieutenant Colonel J. T. Thompson, under the direction of Brig
adier General William Crozier."
We know nothing about Colonel Thompson. On the face of the record
he must be, a studious officer. General Crozier is an ordnance specialist of
international reputation. But when we read still further we are compelled
to doubt the statement first quoted.
For we read that under the "plan" the regular armv "would be in
creased" to its maximum strength, the "entire organized militia" would be
trustered in "at full war strength," nnd the remainder would be raised by
the "enlistment of volunteers."
All of which shows that the government is not "in readiness, at a
moment's notice," to put 500,000 men into the field, but merely has what i
regarded as a good "plan" for doing it. And a "plan" Isn't an army.
The plain truth is that we haven't, even potentially, ready for service at
short notice 500,000 soldiers or anything like that number. The present
strength of the regular army, in the mainland United States, is 55,000 men.
These are "ready for service," so far as they are actually in the army and are
not rather recent recruits.
Now that the talk in Washington is again in the direction of interven
tion in Mexico the Washington correspondents gather hints of an expedition
ary force of 30,000 to 40,000 men. But to make up that number they are
compelled to suppose that the 16,000 .coast artillerymen will be drafted from
their posts of duty and sent into Mexico as infantry!
We don't suppose for a moment that the war department or any responsi
ble man in it authorized such a delusive ctatrmfnt ac tin I k...,.
...- .....fc - ...... .119. uiivilu Mll'Vl.
Probably some second assistant deputy clerk gossiped about the "plan" to a
.Vastungton reporter and he put on this gossip an interpretation not justi
fied by the facts and productive of a dangerous self-complacency.
Army officers are practically forbidden, by somewhat silly regulations, to
talk about service matters for publication. But if their statements in private
conversation may be trusted the United States has neither artillery nor, am
munition for it, nor even small arms and cartridges for them, ready to
'equip" an army of 500,000 men at "a moment's notice," and couldn't do 't
under several months.
Furthermore, it takes about a year properly to train an infantry soldier,
at least eighteen months to train a cavalryman and his horse and three or
four years to make a competent artilleryman.
When we permit ourselves to forget these vital facts and our minds to be
filled with such fairy-tale inferences as are quoted in the first paragraph
above we encourage congressmen in the attitude of almost criminal neglect
of the army out of which we will some day draw such military reverses as
rill fill the whole nation with rage and shame.
O
SCHOOL PROBLEMS The problems of education that this county and
OF THE COUNTY every other one in the state has to face are such that
REAL ESTATE
no county court can afford to play with fire in its selection of the man who
is to handle the affairs of the schools.
Education is an important factor in the reduction of crime. It is an im
portant force in the elevation of the intelligence of the community, of the
county and of the state. For that reason, it is a matter of vital importance
that the county courts of the state should be extremely careful in the selec
tion of the man who is to havejromplete charge of the educational matters
in the county and whose dictum is final on all matters that pertain to the
county schools.
The court of this county realized that proposition when it made the selec
tion of J. E. Calavan for county superintendent yesterday It appreciated
the responsibilities that he has to shoulder and the difficulties that he must
i meet. It also appreciated his ability to meet them. For many years, the new
; superintendent has been connected with the rural schools. He has had ample
i opportunity to see the conditions in the schools as he has become acquainted
with them in his travels from one district to the other and from one institu-
tion to the next through the several districts. He knows the conditions as
; they are and he is well able and thoroughly prepared to meet the problems
j that will be brought before him in his new place. As a teacher in these
schools, he has already met some of those problems. As county superintend
ent, he will be called upon to meet many more of them and on a larger scale.
It is well that the court made its selection as it did for it found in the
new superintendent a man worthy of the place and careful of wisely discharg
ing its duties. So many capable men are to be found in the small rural
schools of the county that the court had hard work in finally determining the
man for the place. Experience is a great teacher and there are several men
in the districts who have had lots of it and would make good superintendents.
The action of the court it a wise one in this instance and the good work
that was started by Superintendent Gary will be ably continued by his suc
cessor. The Enterprise is heartily interested in every phase of the educa
tional problems of the county and it believes that the new superintendent is
a man whose experience and training is balanced by a judgment and clear
sightednesa that will bring material results in the way of improving the
conditions of the county schools.
