Adding la this turn the 5230,000 expended hy the tate f-nn the one-fourth

for road anJ hiiJ improvements during the year.
Now Oregon take the lead in the per capita road Cintt, and Gkam
county lead, in the amount spent during 1915, excluding only three counties
whk,h spent money derived from tlie aale f road bond during the jear.
Multnomah county lea! the list of Oregon counties by upending JJ,4o7,
124.34. Then Come Clahop. then Columbia and fourth, CUlaina with
?2S3,699.9. Marum county follows Clackamas county, although Marion
ha a far greater awwed valuation than Clackama.
In diaiing the figure, the Oregon Voter a:
"About $2,400,000, more than one-third, uaa expended for v. hat might
he clawd a permanent improvement good bridgn, grade built on gw
line, and hard-surface pavement.
"Nearly 4,000,000 was expended in maintenance of old macadam and
dirt road, and for tome new macadam and dirt road. Thi cliv oi road
includes nearly all the road mileage of Oregon, connecting the cities, tra
versing the rural region, and reaching into remote and parely-ettled farm
urn dutricts. mule there a much waste in building these road, they are
the great economic mrity, and are of far more benefit to the agricultural
Imputation than the main highway that are permanently improved.
"It i obvious that the main problem for Oregon in road building is
not that of hard-surface trunk highway important and desirable a that
is but the road that enable the farmer to market their crop and penni
ocial intercourse in farming region. In the main, the count) court and
road wpervisor are striving for better and more economical method, ami
their effort xxrere reflected last year in that more result per dollar expended
were obtained in the counties of Oregon than in any year preceding. To the
county cimmisioncr and county taxpayer the credit is due, although the
nfluence of the reorganized state highway department ha made itself felt
helpfully in all counties where the commission availed themselves of it.
"Vet it is essential that more progres be made not that more money
he expended, but that far better methods be followed. The county com
mivuoners meet in their state convention once a year, and learn from each
other and from expert; in some counties they are county conventions of
supervisors ; and road engineer are taken into different counties to criticise
I'ical methods. This is working in the right direction, but there should be
irore of it.
"Also, Oregon's road laws are burdensome and confusing, creating
unnecessary expense. Trie next legislature should straighten out the tangle,
and substitute a simple, workable road code for the clumsy aggregation of
ftatutes now encumbering the lawbooks.
"We of Oregon are expending enough money on road now far too
much, in the opinion of most taxpayers. A big state bond issue for the
construction of trunk highways paralleling railroad and river would yield
millions more, but is not the main .problem to concentrare on getting better
results for the many millions we now expend, rather than burden the taxpay
ers still more for ambitious improvements which are not a pressing economic
necessity as are the roads into the farming districts?"

TRUTH AND DECENCY ARE STRANGERS to the Oregon
City Courier. Misrepresentation, exaggeration and pure fiction
play a most important part in every story and editorial. The Courier
is willing to go to any end to "get" a person it does not like, is always ready
to manufacture new or stretch facts out of all proportions in an attempt to
injure the reputation of an enemy, political or personal.
The Courier in its frantic efforts to discredit Sheriff Wilson has executed
antics so peculiar and printed stories so wild that they do not need to be
recognized by the sheriff's friends.
Take for instance this editorial remark in the iast issue of that paper:
"The capitalistic Enterprise remarks that Oregon City's loss from the recent
high water in the river was 'trifling.' How about the workers in the mills
who lost their wages those days that the mills stood idle? Likely that didn't
occur to the silk stocking Enterprise."
The workers in the mills did not lose one day's time because of the high
water, because those mills are running on Sundays to make up for lost time.
The Courier barked at the moon again. It yelped in its usual manner with
out investigation before it yelped. But what else is to be expected from the
Courier?
That worthy rag probably is the only pronounced exponent of indecent
moving picture shows among all the newspapers of the state. Many news
papers are not willing to take a definite editorial stand because they fear
they may lose advertising, but the Courier steps forward and criticizes The
Enterprise because this paper dares express its views in the matter. The
Enterprise not only believes that indecent moving picrure films should be
kept from the theatres, but that indecent advertising should be kept from the
newspapers. Moreover, The Enterprise has kept its columns free from
questionable pictures and advertising.

"In order, therefore, to satisfy the technical requirement of the statutes
of the state of Ohio, I hereby consent to the use of my name as a candidate
or the presidency by any candidate who seeks to be elected a delegate to the
Democratic national convention which is to assemble in June.'1 So wrote
Wood row Wilson on January 14, 1916, to Charles Q. Hildebrandt, secretary
of state for Ohio. So clearly is Mr. Wilson convicted by his own words thru
no comment is necessary.
When Wood row Wilson read the one term plank in the Democratic plat
form, which had just been adopted at Baltimore, he got into communication
with his representative, at Baltimore, Wm. F. McCombs, and through Mc-
Combs made a desperate effort to have the plank stricken out because he
ully realized that the plank would pledge him, if he accepted the nomination,
to refrain from running for a second term. Mr. McCombs did his best and

Clayton immediately lost interest in the constitutional amendment. At the
expiration of his term in the house, Mr. Wilson appointed Mr. Clayton a
judge on the federal bench. Thus Mr. Wilson has observed the principle
and kept the pledge which he and the Democratic national convention "made
to be kept."

duced Mr. Wilson to refrain from anything but hoUow protests against the SSdS
outrages perpetrated on Americans; a foreign policy characterized by first 0f his estate, valued at $27,000, and
shaking the fist at foreign nations violating American rights, and later shak- person
ing the finger at them, a policy which has resulted in no flag being so dis
honored and no citizenship as little worth claiming as ours.
As Mr. Root pointed out, within four days after the sinking of the Lusi
itania, and while American citizens were still mourning for the relatives and
friends who had gone down in her, President Wilson in a public speech pro
claimed to the world that " a man may be too proud to fight," and whatever
he may now say he meant by it, "the phase has become a byward of derision
for the government of United States." During the early days of the war,
when little Switzerland and neutral little Holland were mobilizing their mili
tary forces as a warning that their neutrality must not be violated, Mr. Wil
son was exerting his power as president to forestall and prevent military pre
paredness and sneering at those who urged that at least this country make a
