"From its earliest settlement Oregon City has secured its water from thr Willamette. For many year it was pumped into the main in its natural tatr, then mechanical filters, costing many thousands of dollars, were in stalled, and last of all a hypochlorite treating plant was added. Notwith standing these safeguards several bad typhoid epidemics were charged up a,3insT the water, and these, together w ith the thoughts of the sewage poured into the river by Salem, Albany and other towns, led the people in MarcS last to tote the filter plant out and new gravity supply in. "The source of Oregon City's new water supply is the South Fork of the Clackamas, thrre-fourths of a mile from its confiuenc: with the main Clackamas river. Twenty-one miles by an air line, and twenty-four and one lourth miles by the pipe line from the city reservoir within the Oregon national forcest is located the intake. The region is wild and nigged. In tower cliffs and scenic waterfalls, it rivals even the Columbia river gorge. "In quality the water leaves nothing to be desired. Not even Portland with its famous Bull Run supply 'has anything on' Oregon City and West Linn in this respect, for at the time of the preliminary sun-et a sample of tiic South Fork water was taken to a well known bacteriologist of Portland tor examination. After waiting several days for a report, the engineer who had taken the sample, called up and the bacteriologist said, 'Didn't you boil that sample? Why, it is better than Bull Run.'

TAXPAYERS' MT COMMITS URGED NAHVIY CltOM PLtAOk fON MONK CAMIPUL UNVgV Of Ti MATH Of tXPINMt T HKRF IS AN KLKMFNT OF DANGER in thr principle brought out by several recent decisions of the supreme couit that a cit) CM by charter amendment free itself of the county court in matters of road tax. A recent ruling of the court in an appeal in ihr .w it Johnson gainst Jackson county involves tne shland charter and the decision of the court holds that the people shall be exempt from paying road taxe and the within its units tor mad work, except Mich tar a may be levied by the city council. In a more recent case, involving the new charter of tlir town ot Huh bard, Attorney General Brow n, at the request of the ttatr tax commission, lecided that Hubbard is exempt trom the pajment of road taxes levied by . m .m.f a I . rite countt court. He says that various ruling ot the charter must snow the following intentions: First To withdraw all the territoy within he citv limits from the jurisdiction of the county court and place the same within the complete and exclusive control of the city council: second I o exempt the inhabitants of the city and jhe propert) within the city limits from the assessment of road work except when levied by the council. Such law is apt to make the city too independent of thr countt ami the state. The city, while it benefits. With the farmer from thr resultt of road building, can successfully dodge all financial aid in the pawnent of road ra.xes if it pleases, w hile the farmer and other outsiders must pay his share a before. Other decisions of the supreme court have tended to put the city above the county and even the state and to get from under responsibilities which other districts must shoulder. AMERICANS HOPE THAT MR. JOSEPH H. CHOATE is put ting it little too strong w hen he declares that of all the world, the United States is the most hated of nations. The statement is a strong one, even today when hatted is the most dominant passion and th-.1 leading nations of the world are engaged in a war that for its cause, to a large extent, blind hatred. Hate is a hard word, representing an active passion, and we hardly believe that tve are regarded by any nation in such a way, although there arc probably many individuals who would like nothinj better than to get at our throat. Germans and her allies are angered at us because we allow the sale of munitions of war to her enemies. The mass of the people of Great Britain dislike us because they believe that we should make their cause ouis. Japan would like nothing better than to wrest from our control the possesions of the United States in the Pacific. Spain has hardly forgotten '98 and Russia and Turkey, officially, were never pleased with us. France, we rr.ay hope, is our friend; Italy has shown no ill feeling, and the smaller nations of Europe vary greatly in their feeling toward us. On our own side of the world, however, we are regarded with feelings that range from unfriendly indifference to actual hatred. On the whole we are generally disliked. There are many reasons for this attitude of the nations toward us. One will oppose us for one reason, some for another, but there is one emotion that influences all of them, and that is envy. The United States is the richest nation on the globe Although we have only 6 per cent of the world's population, we have one-fourth of the wealth of the world and we are making rapid progress toward con tinuing the rest of it But even with these facts, the United States should not enter the race "I battle-ship building and an organization of armies which features the history of Europe during the 10 years before the present conflict.

The Bank of Oregon City THE OLDEST BANK IN CLACKAMAS COUNTY V POINTING OUT one of the wonderful laws of the Irgislaturr which hampers the progress of the state the Salem Capital Journal calls- utrenrinn to hridtre buildimi in the valley. Lanr countt as well as Polk is having trouble of her own over bridges that are badly needed but that cannot be built, because the legislature by limiting the county tax levies to not more than a six per cent raise over that of the preceding year has cut off the power to raise money for bridge work. Polk county is up against the same proposition with regard to the bridge across the Wil Lunette here. It is ralized that a new bridge is an absolute necessity, and the county is willing to put up its share toward building it but as the funds cannot be raised without violating the "six per cent law" (which is about what it is) the problem is a serious one. Lane county is up against the same proposition in the matter of the bridge at HarrisbuTg. The Saturday Evening Post some weeks ago had an editorial suggestion that certainly has considerable merit. It suggested that the legislatures .take a look at their own shortcoming, and pass a bill preventing legislatures making "blamed fool laws." It would certainly simplify things if the legislatures generally would take the Post's advice. Under the Bingham law, which fixes the tax levy as above stated, the people cannot get what they must absolutely have, and what they would gladlt nay for. (IHRUON CITV, Ore. Nov.

Ibis ibeaper and more efTeatlte - ' k y MiiJtr FORUM OF THE PEOPLE T HE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMI TTEE ii without a secretary and a considerable number of its ni'-mbers want to dis charge the chairman. But the committee does not lack a humorist. He is the gentleman who composed the official comment of the committee on this year's election results. They mean merely, said this document, that the Progressives and the Republicans arc reunited. Nothing more is needed to assure Republican victory in 1916. Wilson received the electoral vote of forty-one states in 1912 and had 4.15 votes in the electoral college. He had a majority support in only fourteen states, with electoral votes, jn me other thirty-four states the combined Republican and Progressive strength tar outnumbered the Democracy, and Wilson won by a plurality. 'I he teunion of the Progressives and Republicans in 1916 is made certain by the elections of 1914 and 1915, and means that Wilson will have his fourteen states the Solid South and no more. In his speech to the Manhattan club at New Vork the president again complained that he does not feel free to express his ..pinions as other men can. In view of the radical change which has come over his expression of opinion regarding national defense within the past eleven months, his cjucrnl ousness seems hardly well-founded. However, let him cheer up. After sixteen months he will be at liberty to talk as freely and as volubly as ex Presldcnts Roosevelt and Taft. Administration Democrats in Washington affect to find some partisan comfort in the Tammany victory in New York city. For two years the administration has tried to starve Tammany men and Tammany congress men have not been welcome at the White House. Yet Tammany, inde pendent of Wilson, is able to win in an election where the Wilson cause has suffered. Eextracting joy from this situation is like manufacturing sun shine from cucumbers. , o Hon. Eugene N. Foss, agree that the Underwood saved the situation for the of Massachusetts, is quoted as saying: "All aw is inadetpjate. Nothing but the war has American manufacturer." As Mr. Foss has played politics on both sides of the protective issue, pir-sibly this points his arrival at a settled conviction at last. o Neither the resignation of Diaz, nor the assassination of Madero nor the forced withdrawal of Huerta served to "pacify" Mexico. Why should Mr. Wilson think that the recognition of Carranza will do it? The fact is that Mexico can be pacified only by a firm hand ; the hand of the United States, to be exact. John Stark Writ.
