It brings new activity to the liver,

It enters the tiny blood vessels of
the skin, bringing with it fresh vita

wonderful cleansing power has come
to thousands, when pimples, boils, car
buncles, rush, eczema, acne and other
skin troubles dried up and disap

njually great or porbap evert a great
er opportunity for the l tlwrmenl of
farm condition In thla tat In th
development of our rural road, f
mut however differ with itrother
Hponr In hi (cricluilon lhat thn roada
contoinplated In tha bridliig act are
principally valuable for eeri!c high
way!. It la true that all road In Ore
gon ore scenic but they can't lo-lp It.
and should Dot be blamed for It. Th
fact that a road pae rhruugh a
beautiful country doe not prevent It
being aervW-oable lo the farmer. We
ihould get away from the thought that
all thing beautiful have no proper
connection with the farm.
One of the scenic tlchway loading
frmn Portland paax-s throur.b HH'
boro, Koit Grove. McMlnnvllle. Dal
la. Independence and Corvalll con
nortlnc at Junction City with another
acenlc road which run southward
from Portland via Oaweio and along
(he rant aide of the beautiful Willam
ette, through Clackamas, Marlon and
Unn countle. and extending thence
oulh through southern Oregon. Al
though highly ccnlc. cou'd rny road
lyalem be built In the state of Oregon
that would serve so ninny farmers?
Then porhap the road leading from
theae to the dairy sections along the
roaat might be useful to tho farmer
as well as to the much abused tourist
A careful study of the proposed roads
In oatorn Oregon discloses that they
too, ure for uc a well t beauty.
If our worthy brother fears that too
much of the beautiful might Intoxicate
our rustic population. I would susgest
that we might wear green goggles or
some sort of blinders, but cs for me I
prefer to jo at least "one eye on it."
If the present unprecedented pros-
uerltv of the fnrmer. due to high prlcoB
of his products, and wise credit legis
lation continue he will bo able to
spend a large part of bis time touring
hi country and viewing tho wonders
God bath wrought.
If every voter In this state would
travel over the Colufbia highway and
across the Interstate bridge I feel con
fident there would bo lew votes
against the bond Issue.
The objection Is raised npainst the
bond issno that a larce amount In
Interest would be paid before the
bonds mature. This same objection
m'ght bo urged ngalnst the long time
rural credit loans. Wo Justify this
$13,000,000 bond Issue by saying it
adds nothing to the tax-payers bur
den. The Interest burden falls wholly
on the borrower, and he Is benefitted
by better or easier terms of repay
ment to such an extent that ho enn
afford to pay the great amount of in
terest which necessarily accrues on
thoso long term loans.
Now note the parallel. Tho Inter
est on the $t..000.000 road bond Isut
will not add to the burden of the tax
payer, but is paid by the automobile
owners of tho state, and this Is fully
Justified by tho fact that they are
benefitted to such an extent in les
sened up-kecp expense that they are
gird to assume tho comparatively
Bmnll Interest burden.
To prove tho contention that the
burden will not fall upon tho taxpayer
let us consider tho constantly increas
ing nntnmnhllA registration for the
past five years, and taking this as the
basis let us estimate the future In
crease. Records show that in:
1912 there were 10173 autos in Ore
1913 there were 13955 autos In Ore
1914 there were 16347 autos In Ore
1915 there were 23409 nutos in Ore
1916 there were 33917 autos in Ore
Prom the foregoing tablo it would
seem probable that tho automobile
registration of tho state would reach
one hundred thousand machines oy
tho time we would begin to pay off
the principal of the bonds. Under the
provisions of the law recently passed
doubling the registration fee for ma
chines, the average fee will be about
ten dollars, so that the total yearly
receipts from this Bource alone would
be about one million dollars, his sum
would be greatly more than enough to
nav both interest and principal not
only upon the $6,000,000 bond issue,
but upon the $1,S19,2S0.55 bond issue
authorized to meet the national gov
ernment's appropriation for road work
without using any part of the one-
fourth mill state read tax. The excess
fees, not needed to pay bond interest
and principal, together with all of the
quarter mill stote road tax could be
pplied as the state highway commis
sion may direct
The worthy state manager urges as
an obloction to the bond issue that
the funds arising therefrom are appli
cable only for surfacing, and not for
eradins rouds, and that it would be
necessary for each county to issue
bonds to finance the grading.
Now let us see; the bill provides for

POINTED BY STATE COM
MISSION SAI.KM, Or, April 10 Herbert

day appointed atate highway engineer

He will be asked to meet with the com-
mission Wednesday.
Nunn was the unanimous choice cf
the commission, although Commission
er A. J. Adams objected to the appoint
ment being made at this time. The
commissioners announced that thoy
favored Nunn because of his dem
lnstrated engineering ability, bis rec
ord for economy in roud construction
and his ability to organize.
Commissioner W. L. Thompson
brought up the question of appolntlog
an engineer at this time, saying that
It was necessary because of the de
mands being made on tho commission
by various counties which are ready
to proceed with paving thellr high
ways. He made the motion that Nunn
be appointed.
Commissioner Adams asked that
action bo deferred, while Chairman S.
Benson said he thought It was time
now to act and he seconded the mo
tion. "This matter should be carefully
considered in executive cession so we
can thresh it out." said Commissioner
Adams. "There are other applications
which should be considered. I woulfl
rather discuss this in executive ses
clon. If we mako this appointment
without making a statement as to our
reasons it will be a fatal political mis
take.' Felt Like 90; Now Like 21.
Many persons complain about feel

weak liuk in a chain, a weak organ
enfeebles the whole body. Over

the back. I am 43 years old, but I
felt like a man of 90 years old. Since
I took Foley Kidney Tills I feel like
I did when I was 21." In 50c and $1.00
