J. H. Hloedrl, one of the foremost millmrn in the tate of Washington,
who also owns mills in Rritish Columbia, testified that the labor cost in Brit
ih Columbia was 25 cents a thousand, and in Washington 55 cent per
thousand. Ilefore the passage of the Underwood law the inJustry emploved
about 15,000 men and paid nearly 515,000 in wage in Washington alone.
Recently representatives of the lumber industry appeared before the
Federal Trade commission, which is studying the cost of production. A: the
Chicago hearing these lumbermen pointed out to the commission the effect
of the Underwood iaw in paralyin an industry in whicn 49,0( .v and
shingle mils were engaged, employing 800,00 laboring men, with a product
of 540,000,000. half of which is paid out as wages. The commission looked
wise and said nothirtg.
Forty minutes debate was given to the Republicans on this gTeat sched
ule when, it wxs before the house. Congressman Fordney at that time re
marked: "You will have to dispose of a million dollar a minute. There
is $40,000,000 involved in this." To which Congressman Jack Garner.
Democrat of the ways and means oimmittee replied: "We can do that,
' Laughter.)" And they did dispose of it, effectually, to the accompaniment
of the "loud laugh which betrays the vacant mind."
T
HE ENTERPRISE hgs no desire to inject into its good roads
propaganda an element of personality or to divert the general pur- r
pose of the campaign of education in highway matters. This paper
welcomes expressions of opinion and gladly prints any letter which it be
lieves to express the true sentiments of the writer. It is with all respect,
therefore, that the Enterprise calls to the attention of County Judge Ander-
T IS BFLIF.VFP that Mr. Hrvan'i activity in opposition to the ptei
dent will he baed upon that plank in the Baltimore platfotm which call
for a ingle term in thr White 1 1 oust. There it wnind rran for uch
a brlirf. A inglr (erin presidency ha been one of Mr. Hrvau' obsrssion for
vrar. Away bk. nrarly tvtrnty-five )eart ago, when he vva in congtes. he
tried to get the contitution amended to that effect. And in S')(, when he
stampeded the Chicago convention and ran away w ith hi first nomination, hi:

hi firt statement for the newpaper, which ran tmnething like thi: "In
order that I may frel entirely free to davote myself tingle-mindcdl)' to the pul
lie welfare, I pledge mvself, if elected, not to be a candidate for renomination."
He hold to that opinion today. It wa he who put the one-term data
lation into the platform of 1912. And, whatever may be charged against Mr.
Hryan, he tand by hi convktimu, no matter how ill-founded they may be,
Hut will Bryan confine hi assault on Wilson to in narrow a limit? If
he i to oppose the president for treason to the Baltimore platform, why not
present the whole bill of particular? Why not deal with the question of
canal tolls? Thi is a subject which Mr. Bryan can deal with effectively, be
cause it had to do w ith the department of tate during hi term a ecretary ;
and he can peak w ith authority about it. v Also, there i that plank of the
Baltimore platform which calls for "the full protection of the United States
government, both for himself and hi party," in the case of an American citi
zen residing abroad.
Here is an issue against the president which Bryn ihould make the most
of. In Mexico there are or were thousands of American who owned their
property which is or was worth many miliums of dollar. What ha the
Wilson administration done to give "the full protection of the United State
government" to these people and to their property? Here i a question which
will touch many a heart. And we hope that Mr. Bryan will not neglect it,

yard is a "rare bargain." Judge Anderson, in his letter of the 25th, does ccntratlon of road funds oncwer high
not take into consideration that it costs as much to lav the foundation for a
four-inch pavement as it does a 6-inch one, that the cost of rolling is prac
tically the same and that the haul from the Worswick plant to the county road
is much longer than to Main street.
That the statements of this paper concerning bituminous macadam ate
based on the experience of other states, notably California. Three or four
years from now the county will realize that bituminous macadam is not as
perfect as the county court now believes.
GOOD ROADS TALK is not confined to Clackamas county or to
Oregon City, by any means. Down in Marion county there are at
least a few who are convinced that macadam, dirt, and rock roads for
trunk highways are wasteful. The Salem Statesman Friday morning ex
pressed the sentiments of this group with the following leading editorial.
A Salem man, returning from the California fairs a few days ago, said
he was very glad to get back to the Willamette valley; that we have a much
better country in most respects than California; that we lack only two things

OREGON Hl'ILDING, Panama-Pa
cific Exposition, Aug. 31. Oregon hens
are still cutting a wide swath hem
White Leghorns from Prof. James Dry-
den's flock at tho agricultural college
ure so far ahead of competing egg-layers
from other states that the contest
which ends November 15 Is certain to
prove them winners by a splendid mar
gin. Tho champion Leghorns thus far
are- 172 eggs ahead of the best pen
from any other stato, and the second
best pen Is also filled with a flock from
tho Oregon Agricultural college. A
Victoria, II. C, pen occupies third place
in the contest, but another Oregon pen
Is coming along at such a rate within
the pnst few days that thero Is every
reason to believe Oregon will capture
first, second and third places In this
great contest Involving hundreds of
birds from many states and countries.
Prof. Dryden Is the man who produced
the world's champion, 33 egg hen for
Oregon, and Is now demonstrating that
Oregon methods and Oregon breeding
stock will result In producing chnm
plon flocks evon In Btich an abominable
climnto as that In the Immediate vicin

If necessary the law will be Invoked
to make the exposition determine
whether it Is or Is not that.
During the week of September 20,
"the (lays of old, the days of gold" will
be reproduced at the exposition, with
elaborate exerclsos for each day. It
Is said that the mining men from all
parts of the world will be there. All I
miners and mining men, together with
the would-be magnates, are promised
an unusually entertaining week. This
will also see the beginning of Wash
ington and Idaho state activities here.
A "zone of plenty" day Is to follow
during the early part of October, a
day In which the people of the seven
north-west states will participate.
When Governor Wlthycomhe was
here with the Ilcnson party he came
to the Oregon building first as a mat
ter of course. After making the rounds
of the building he expressed himself
enthusiastically and left no doubt of
his thorough confidence that tho state
has a magnificent advertisement in
Its unlquo building and the dlspluy
therein: Ho was pleased with tho np
pcurance of tho displays, thought them
adequate, and commented warmly on
the very attract Ivo appearance of the
decorations and the holiday ntmos
phero of the pluce. It was suggested
that he sno tho other Oregon exhibits,
then make a comparison with the ex
hibits and state buildings In compe
tition, and give his final Impression
Governor Wlthycomhe did this and
then said: "I can only add omphnsls
to what I snld this morning. I nm im
monsely pleased with the Oregon
showing throughout, and I Iiavo seen
enough and heard enough today to
make me very proud of Oregon nt tho
exposition. The resources of tho state
oro shown up splendidly, and I believe
we will reap a splendid roward." Ills
words wore pleasing to those here con
cerned with Oregon's efforts to attract
attention and doubtless they will prove
a pleasant assurance to those In Ore
gon ever anxious that the stato shall
be kept ut tho fororront. Py-tho-woy,
Governor Wlthycomhe mado a real hf
when ho enmo to tho exposition as a
private citizen and on Benson day sat
In the shadow that Oregon's "most
notable" citizen should have all tho
glory. This, with his readiness, genial
ity and apparent ability, is still the sub
ject of pleasant comment among men
of affairs, and there Is a wldosrpeml

Arch-rilshop Christie, of Portland,
was jn the Oregon building Sunday. "I
heard some Portlander express a doubt
about the Oregon building," said, the
bishop "but I think he must have been
sick. This Is beautiful, beautiful, In-
sltlo and out. I think It wonderful
and did you ever see such lovely wood
as that myrtlewood furniture?"
T. K. Churchill, born In Oregon in
1851, but away from tho old home near
Harrlaburg since 1880 said "This Is a
mighty fine showing. I have been liv

certain that either state can bent Cali
