THE FRETTINO ESTACADA NEWS.
Till Eastern Clackamas News I

The county paving plant hat arous
ed the Ire of Editor Slandlah. "Sines
the purchase of thla plant." he says,
'tlit1 county court, county engineer
and road boa have gotten a bad at
tack of hard surface paving disease
wllh the majority of their energies
being rxpendej In building pavemunti
In the vklulty of the county eat."
tic made thla statement In aplte of
the fact that the county thl year will
lay only four or five mile of hard
aurface road, and that of three pro
Jects, one runt Into Oregon City and
two are located between aeven and
10 mile from the county teat More
over, It might be added that the road
leading Into Oregon City which a
Improved carrlea aa much or more
traffic than any other road ita length
in the county, proliably three times
at much aa the average road in the
Etarada district.
A little further along In hi remark
Editor Slandlsh calls hard surface
luxury. The county laid five-Inch as-
phaltic concrete on the Parkplace
road for about 63 cent a yard. In
eluding the cost of installing the plant,
buying suplles, auperintendending the
construction and all other etpenses.
Every brand of recognized hard sur
face laid by contract costs far above
this figure. Yet. Editor Standtah calls
this surface which will outlast many
water macadam roads, a luxury.
Again be says, "unless a bait Is
called by the taxpayers, the $S0O par
ing plant will be an expensive luxury
and will be worked to death along
with the taxpayers' pocket books."
Clackamas county raises annually
about $300,000 for road and street
work, but the Estacada News bemoans
the expenditure of a few thousand on
a type of road which is being adopted
from one side of the country to the
other.
The trouble with Editor Standish is
that he fears Estacada and the eastern
part of the county will not receive
their share of the work. He hints
that the county court is partial to
the county seat, although of the three
members of the court not one is a
resident of Oregon City. The county
Judge is from the Logan district, one
commissioner from Canby and the
third from Viola. Estacada has as
much representation on the county
court as Oregon City.
If the county court divided that
paving plant into little pieces and
sent one piece to every corner of the
county, Estacada might be satisfied.
Molalla, Canby, Macksburs, Wilson
vllle, Oswego, Milwaukie, Sandy and
every other town In the county wants
bard surface now that the county has
gone into the business, but we bear
no cries of protest from them. They
do not yell, "Give us hard surface or
don't lay the stuff," and Editor Stan
difah's outburst might be taken for
such an appeal, particularly such a
sentence as this, "The News has no
kick against hard surfacing, although
it does feel that this county cannot
afford much of such luxuries and it
docs believe in calling a halt if all
of the hard surfacing is going to be
done in the lower end of the county."
Editor Standish will find as he
grows older in experience and in
year that public exhibitions of deep-
green peeves will not win favor from
Individual or county court. Judge
Andereon and Commissioner Knight
and Msltoon are at leat fairly honet
mm, he mint admit, and alov

THE NORTH PAYS.
Taxpayers In lb northern states
would do well to ponder the statement
made to the members of congress the
other day by ex Speaker Cannon,
replying to a question of Congreaaman
Jack Garner, of Tcxa. Mr. Cannon
declared that a member on the IVnio-
cratlc side had said to him: "Well.
It does not make any difference bow
we vote for expenditurea; you fellow
north have got to pay them." When
southern Democrats speak of the north
they Include the west as well.
The remark of that Democrat to Mr.
Cannon exactly describes the attitude
of the majority In congress today. It
is the old story of the two men who
divided the cow, one getting the half
which carried the head, and the other
taking the half which held the udJer.
The first man had to feed the cow;
rhe second man got alt the profits.
When the cow hooked number two.
number one had to pay the damuget.

The thirteen states. California. Ml
uols. Indiana. Iowa. Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
York. New Jersey. Ohio. Pennsylvania,
and Wisconsin, had a population In
1910 of nearly 51,000.000, and they
cast a roto of over $.700,000, In 1912.
The capital stock employed by these
13 states In 1910, aggregated over
$11,000,000,000; salaries and wages
paid out amounted to over $3,350,000,
000. and the value of manufactured
products to over $15,500,000,000, annu
ally. These states paid $65,000,000 of
the $SO,000,000 collected from the cor
poratlon and Income tax during the
fiscal year, 1915, and they pay over
75 per cent of the taxes laid by the
"war revenue measure."
The thirteen states. Alabama, Ari
zona. Arkansas, norma, ueorgia
Louisiana. Mississippi, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee,
Texas, and Virginia, had a population
In 1910 of 24,250.000. and they cast a
vote of 1.818,000. The capital stock
employed by these 13 states In 1910
aggregated $1,809,000,000; salaries and
wages paid out amounted to about
$107,000,000, and the value of manu
factured products to $1,908,000,000, an
nually. These thirteen states paid
less than $5,000,000 of the amount col
lected from corporation and Income
taxes for the fiscal year 1915, and
their contribution to the war tax was
unimportant
The south has had its fling during
the past four years. They have con
trolled practically all of the important
committee chairmanships in congress;
President Wilson is a sectionalism and
so is the secretary of the treasury, Mfi
Adoo. The comptroller of the treas
ury, John Skelton Williams, Is also
sectionalistic In his views, and it is
due to McAdoo and Williams that so
much favoritism has Ireen shown to
the south by the federal reserve
board. There has never been such a
pork regime in the history of con
gress, and the Bmear of the rind is
found on all our important legislation
since 1913.

WAR BOOSTS GRAIN PRICES.
A very brief review of export and
import statistics will show th
enormous Influent- of the European
war In bringing proaperlly to the
grain producer of the nlted State.
During the ten month ended April
1913. with a Itcpiibliran tariff law In
force, we Imported breadatuffa.
(grain, flour, etc.) to the value
$14,000,000. Our export of thcae pro
duct totaled $1S5,000.000. giving u
favorable trade balance on these artl
rle of $174,000,000. During the ten
month ending April. 1914. seven
month of which was under the Dem
ocratic tariff law, which put most of
these product on the free list, we lm
ported thorn to the value of $31,000
000. which export dropped to $139,.
000.000. and the favorable balance of
trade on this group fell to $108,000,
000. a los of $0.000,000.
The European war was declared
August 1. 1914, and Immediately the
belligerent proceeded to make vast
requisitions alt over the world to stock
their granaries. Proper food and
equipment are the first reqqulslte In
maintaining the efficiency of a fight
ing machine. The streams of grain
which were pouring Into the United
States from all the grain producing
countries of the world, because of
Democratic destruction of the protec
tive wait, were tapped and large
part of their volume was drawn to
Europe, w hlle our on exports of these
articles became a torreut pouring
Into the store houses of the warring
powers.
So we find that our Imports of
grains during the ten months ended
April. 1915. fell to $17,151,000, while
our exports reached the amailng total
of $197,000,000. The story told by
our trade figures la grains Is that
the belligerents were laying in sup
plies for a considerable period In the
future, for. during the ten months
ended April, 1916, our Imports of these
products again show a tendency to
return to the Democratic free trade
normal, being $20,000,000, while our
exports have fallen to $366,000,000, a
decrease compared with the 1915 per
iod of 26 per cent. But even the 1916
figures show a wonderful effect of
war orders on our grain trade, com
Ing and going.
A study of export values for the
1913, 1915 and 1916 periods, will be
of Interest to the farmers of the coun
try, and the values of five of these
commodities are selected for the
three periods, respectively: Barley,
per bushel, 65.7c, 67.7c, 71c; corn
58.6c, 80c; oats, 38.5c, 59.4c, 50c;
wheat, 97, $1.26, $1.25; wheat flour,
per barrel, $1.67, $5.65, $.63.
These values Indicate the high
prices which our farmers were receiv
ing for these commodities on account
of the war.
The breadstuffs group ranks among
the first of those tremendous war or
ik-rs which are responsible for the
return of a marvelous though tem
porary prosperity to the nlted States
But man shall not live by bread
alone. Heavy demands from Europe
for all our products arc responsible
for the great Increase in our exports.
lie it remembered thut the opportune
ity for Europe to manufacture for ex
port trade has been terribly curtailed
by the war. Not only do we furnish
the belligerents with a large share
of their munitions, but we are getting
into their markets with various other
American products. Out of this con
dition of affairs the Democrats are
trying to make political capital. It
is clear to every business man, how
ever, that we will continue to ex
port supplies to Europe as long as the
war lasts, whichever party is in pow
er, but the only party which brings
a guarantee of genuine prosperity
after the war is the party that con
sistently advocates a protective tariff
policy.

THE COST OF A NEWSPAPER.
The man who spreads out his morn

gathering that news and presenting
it. Particularly he does not realize
that the far-off war in Europe has
still further increased the cost of bis

across the ocean and the plant of
his favorite paper are separated by
several thousand miles.

since an extract from a letter written
by Lieutenant U.gua In which be
dated that tho boys of Company (S
were destitute of money and tobacco
and that he bad used five dollars
which a charitable and patriotic cltl-
en had given him upon his departure
from Oregon City, to buy tobacco for
the men of Company ().
I cannot understand why this condi
tion of affairs should exist. Five dol
lars will not buy much tobacco for
sixty men. Company U left Oregon
City with nearly ono thousand dollar
rash given by the Oregon City council,
county court and Commerclul club.
Whut wns this money for but for this

our company fund for over 100 men.
Yet when we got broke, tunny of us
used to borrow from tbe fund until
pay-day.
Tho reason we payed back the
money was to koep this fund good for
tho use of tho sick. A greater part of
Iho fund was spent for buying del leu
