of her infirmities.
Mrs. Grimm, who is 6S years old,

In her son, Cicero, she says, and when
he offered to provide for tho rest of
her life In comfort on the condition
that she would turn her farm over to
him, she ueceptod the tiffer. Papers
were drawn up nud a deed prepared.
She understood, she says, that the
deed was to bo so worded that he
would be required to care for her the
rest of her life. She cannot read and
hud to rely on what the son told her
nil through the transaction. The
cluusos which were to protect her In
terests were found to be lacking when
the uged woman hud them examined.
The papers were signed February 4,
1916. ami the aged woman, trusting In
her son, moved to his house. Then
began a course of treatment which
flnully, she snys, forced her to seek
shelter elsewhere. She had others ex

hud taken advantage of her nge, her
illness and her inability to read and
had duped his own mother from all of

Even if the voters at the November
election approve the tax limitation
bill, which is designed to limit the
increase of levies, Clackamas county
has little to fear, at least as far as
the county road fund la concerned, be
lieves County Judge Anderson.
The bill provides that a tax levy
cannot be increased more than 6 per
cent In a year unless the people sanc
tion the increase by vote. It mokes
no exception far Amergenciea, and It
has been pointed out that a tax levy
ing body would be unable to meet a
suituen demand for money, no matter
how urgent the demand was.
1 tucKamas county already has an
S mill road levy, and the construction
of roads is one of the principal prob
lems before the county court. Judge
Anderson points to the fact that an
Increase in the county road levy under
any circumstance is not likely, but
with the passage of the tax limitation
bill, a reduction in the levy, also.
would be improbable for the reason
that it ould be too much trouble to
get the levy back to its present size.
"One thing is certain," said the
coun'.y Judge, 'and that is Clackamas'
road work would not be hampered by
the passage of the bill. Our levy
already is about as large as prac
tical, and we are safe from the measure."
SEPTEMBER 15 SET TO
SIX PETITIONS FOR BOUNDARY
CHANGES RECEIVED AND
MORE EXPECTED.
Tbe county court Thurvlay set Sep
tember 15 as the day when petitlona
for changes in road district boundaries
will be heard. The court now haa lix
petition on file and many more are
expected. September is the month
designated by the state road law when
the county court shall hear petitlona
' for changes in road districts.
At the road district boundary meet
in? of the court a year ago, the lum
ber of districts was cut from 60 to 57,
and a still further reduction In the
number is considered possible. Judge
Anderson Is known to favor larger and
fewer road districts, and has suggested
a plan whereby the county court would
have between 13 and 20 districts In
stead of the present number.
It will probably require several days
to take up and consider all the dis
trict changes sought

The 1915 session of the state legis-
lature had a kind, benevolent dispo
sition.
It was also generous, particularity
to gas corporations, such as the Port
land Gas & Coke company. In fact.
It was not until the other day that.
Clackamas county officials awoke to
the extreme kindness of the legisla
ture when they discovered a law un
der the terms of which a gas company,
if unable to agree on the terms of a
franchise with a comity court, can
tell the county court to go Jump hi the
lake and proceed to appropriate the
county roads without further fuss or
bother. I
If the county and the gas corpora
tion can't ns;ree, why then, tha 1915
legislature ruled, the gas company
wing.
Now it so happens that the Port
land Gas & Coke company saeks a
franchiso from Clackamas county un
der the terms of which the gas com
pany can lay its mains on any road
i:ow constructed or any road to be
constructed in the future. Every mi'e
of the 1100 miles of county roads la
at the disposal of the gas company
without further fuss, once this fran
chise passes the court.
Yet the court cannot object. The
county court cannot insist on ton
s'.ringcnt clauses to protect the coun
ty's interests, thanks to tbe 1915 leg
islature. If the county court and the
gas company are unable to agree,
then the gas company can go ahead,
put down Its mains and forget the I
county court as if the county coiirt
did not exist.
The clause granting the gas com
pany this right is tucked at the bot
tom of an apparently innocent meas
ure. After many lfs, ands, and where
ases, the law reads:
and when It shall bo neo-
essary or convenient in the locat'on
of any gas mains, gas pipe lines, pipes
and appurtenances therefor, to appro
priate any part of any public road,
street or alley or public grounds, the
county court or the board of county
commissioners of the county wherel.i
such road, street, alley or public prop
erty may be., unless the same be with
in the 'corporate limits of an Incorpor
ated town or city, may agree with the
corporation so constructing said gas
mains, gas pipe lines, mains and ap-
pmcenances tneretor, upon the ex
tent, terms and conditions upon which
the same may be appropriated, used
and occupied by such corporation, and
if such purtics shall be unable to agree
thereon, such corporation may appro
priate so much thereof as may bo nec
essary or convenient in the location
and construction of said gas mains,
gus , pipe lines, pipes and appurton
ances therefor; provided, however,
thut ,the passage of this act, or any
thing herein contained, shall not be
construed to impair any rights here
tofore acquired by any such corpora
toin from any county court or board
of county commissioners,"
The legislature, after turning coun
ty roads over to gas companies of the
state, even added a clause that the
law should not be construed to impair
any rights heretofore acquired by any
gas corporation. There is no such
clause protecting the county or the
public. The roads, under such a law.
become gas routes, rather than county
roads.
The clause quoted above is on page
40 of the session laws of 1915 and is
chapter 27. It was filed In the office
of the secretary of state February 4,
1915.
