CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
COUNCIL WILLING TO LISTEN.
Council aeema determined to "go
' alow and learn to paddle," as the old
"saying has tt- Last year-there waa
more or less clamoring on the part
of the people for " more action on the
part of Council, and that body seems
to have listened to the clamor on the
grounds of Justification that the peo
ple ought to hare what they want, es-
pectally ' when they must pay for 1L
But later, when the people saw that
they had been In too much of a hurry,
and that because of that hurry they
had not been given just what they
wanted, or It had not come to them
Just as they wished it to, then the
cry went up, "why did you give us
what we asked for when you knew
we ought not to have It?"
This year Council has determined
' to go slow and be certain that what
they are getting Is what they want,
and not something that will satisfy
the people for the present minute.
Could certain of the improvements of
last year be done over hey would now
be done differently; Council doesn't
want that condition to exist In the
matter of what is done this year. And
Council la certainly acting wisely in
this matter.
At the meeting of Council Wednes
day evening there were several pro
perty holders present that had a little
to say concerning Improvements, but
In the future It might be wise for
property holders who are Interested
In certain matters sure to come up to
be on hand and tell Council what will
be acceptable In case that body Is not
. Itself certain. But those who.' go to
talk should have the matter settled In
their own minds so they may say In
a few words what they have to say
and not take up the time of Council
with a lot of useless talk.
The Clackamas members of the
Senate and Legislature have been In
the front rank of the fight from the
very start, and are accomplishing
' much. It matter not if a man doe

better than any other month In the
calendar.
Families about here are all Improv
ing from colds and grip, and begin
to look on the bright side again.
Mrs. Powell la still very 111 with a
trained nurse In attendance, but hopes
are entertained for her recovery soon.
Mrs. Elltgsen stayed with her last
week and Mrs. Nemlc goe every day
this week and help about the work.
Mr. Powell haa a very bad cough.
Mr. Schattx spent an hour or two at
Mr. Gage Sunday afternoon.

Mr. Aerm. out of the kindness of
his heart, took In a runaway sailor
who stayed with him 6 or 8 weeks.
He was a boy of perhaps 15 but never
having lived upon a farm he could do
but very little. A while ago be puf
his extra belongings in a sack and
threw them out of the window at
chore time and made off with himself.
He need not have run away, they said,
as they were glad to have him go.

BRAND WHITLOCK, Mayor of Toledo. O.
"UE greatest problem before the American citj totlaj is to be
fl conie free. No further progress in municipal affairs can be
N- made UNTIL TIIE CITIES OBTAIN HOME RULE.
This is as true of New York city as it is of Toledo. New
Tork must have home rule before it can solve tho great problems that
confront iL " -
THE AMERICAN CITY IS A CREATION OF- THE STATE LEGIS
LATURE. ITS . LAWS ARE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE

MUST; BE THROWN OFF, TH6 TIME HONORED BELIEF THAT
COUNTRY FOLKS ARE GOOD AND CITY PEOPLE BAD AND THAT
THE FORMER SHOULD GOVERN THE LATTER HAS BEEN SHAT.
TERED. "
' , The recent disclosures in Adams county, O., a typical rural com
munity, where more than a thousand persons have been indicted, for
aeUing their votes, show how tinfit country folk are to make- laws for
cities. The cities of this country SHOULD MAKE THEIR OWN
LAWS. When they do, and not until then, REAL PROGRESS
WJXLBE TOSSIBLE. v " ...
J For centuries there has existed a popular fallacy that everything
that is wicked Is to be found in the cities, while all the virtues are to
be found in the country; that city people are bad and country people
correspondingly good.' And because of this belief the cities have been
EULED BY., THE PEOPLE IN TlfE COUNTRY DISTRICTS.
The laws that govern New York city were made and are made by rep
resentetives f rora the rural districts of New York state; and the same
la true of etery other city In tlie' TJmtcd8tatea." V;
' A city cannot be run like a big business corporation for the reason
that RURAL LEGISLATORS HAVE RESTRICTED ITS TOW.

each year on this work In Clackamas
county thn lo any other department
and we are aaaured by those who
should know that In the past from 13
1-3 to M per rent of lbs amount es
pended each year has been wasted.
The County Court, composed aa It Is
of only three men, haa more duties
to perform than their time will allow,
thus preventing them from overseeing
the work of the 65 road supervisors
appointed. It Is not, therefore, the

while, at the same time, without pro
per autervlslon the cost might be the
same, or even more, and the next year
repairs must be made. Railroads al
ways provide eiperlenced engineers
to lay out and aunervlse the work to
be done and so It la In.evsry property

not employ a lawyer to supervise In
hla absence the work on hla farm but
securea the services of the beat farmer

Its product. Is left In the bands of men
experienced . In that line and so It
should be with our county roads.
A road engineer ran build good
roads for leas money than we are now
paying for poor onea and our County
Court will be relieved. In a measure,
although still responsible for the work.
We will have roads all over the county
built along the moat approved lines;
the road supervisors will be parts of
the general system, although still In
charge of the road bulldltag In their
various districts, and no one will be
Injured. .
If In the past year one-third of tbe
road fund waa wasted, or In the
neighborhood of 150,04)0, the county
could afford to pay a road engineer,
aa aalary and expenses of his depart
ment, one third of the amount wasted
and the balance can be saved and ap
plied on the general -Indebtedness,
thus allowing the county soon to have
Its tai rate where It should be and out
of debt.
