OUR COMMON From digging up
ANCESTER bones here and there,
and in some places
uncovering a spot where he has been
caught by a landslide, or crushed un
der game that got even with-him in
death, the scientists have acquired a
fairly accurate knowledge of what
the first man looked like.
He was a stocky fellow this ances
tor of ours; long faced, big-headed,
with primitive teeth, and a slant to
his brow like a chimpanzee's. But
he was way ahead of the chimpan
zee, in that he stood erect, which the
chimpanzee does not, except with
great difficulty. He was shorter than
the average man of today, and no
doubt he was a very hairy creature,
and wouldn't be pleasant with a
btranger who didn't see him first.
Yet there were things behind that
slanting head of his that marked him
off from the beasts of the field, as
dawn is differentiated from darkness.
He had a taste in art, decorating his
cave with pictures of bison, the mam
moth, and the sabre-teethed tiger.
Figures he made in ivory and ' clay
are recognizable, which cannot always
be said for some present day sculp
tors. We ought not to despise this
ancestor of ours, for his nakedness,
hairiness, and passion for raw meat,
for he took one of the big' steps in
our evolution, and from the evidence
it wom'd appear that he took it brave
ly as a man should.
A Family Can Just About Manage
to Get Along on $800 .
a Year
By Dr. LEE K. FRANKEL. Former
Charities of
N A BASIS OF $800 A YEAR
TO GET ALONG. THERE
AN AMOUNT AS THIS.
Of course I am not saying that some families don't man
age to get along on less. Many men are supporting their families on
$15 a week, but they must manage to exist that's all.
I should say that on $960 a family could be KEPT COM-'
FORTABLY in a large city without any luxuries. What I mean is
that they would be enabled on that amount to have light and airy
rooms that were thoroughly sanitary. -
Stripped of verbiage and reduced to their elements, we find that
all existing poverty and pauperism are attributable to one of these
major causes IGNORANCE, INDUSTRIAL INEFFICIENCY,
EXPLOITATION OF LABOR AND DEFEQTS LN GOVERN
MENTAL SUPERVISION OF THE WELFARE OF CITIZENSV
Exploitation of labor is of all causes of dependency the most com
plicated and the one that it will be most difficult to uproot and to
eradicate. The evolution of industry through the centuries has re
sulted in a condition today in which the LARGE HULK OF THE
POPULATION HAS NO CAPITAL other tlmn 'that involved in
its dailv labor.

IRASCIBLE Probably the most de
MAYOR GAYNOR lightful letter
writer in Ameri
ica, Mayor Gaynor of New York has
utilized his remarkable talent not
merely to encourage his friends, but
to rebuke his crtiics. He has been
described as irascible, but none of his
letters warrant the criticism. A
peacher, hungry for publicity, de
nounced the community in which he
lived, Brooklyn as "The vestibule of
hell." The mayor: of course is to
blame. Nevertheless, the devil takes
many disguises.
Mayor Gaynor, it seems, is not dis
posed to bear his burden uncomplain
ingly, yet he is very charitable. In"
replying to his clerical critic, the may
or says:
"There are bad people in Green
point as everywhere else. We must
do the best we can to turn them from
tneir evil ways. I see one clergyman
in our immediate neighborhood says
that Greenpoint or Brooklyn, is the
"vestibule of hell."
What a charitable soul he must be,
The truth is shown by the records
that Brooklyn is more free from
crime and vice than any other equal
population in the wori'd.
Its enthe criminal business above
the grade of petty offenses is dispos
ed of by one criminal court. Just
think of that being true of 1,500,000
people.
And yet there are scamps who call
Brooklyn the "vestibule of hell." We
must be charitable and kind to them,
and try to reclaim them from their
uncharity and their propensity to
bear false witness."
These exasperating critics draw
nothing stronger from the mayoral
pen than such denatured epithets as
"scamp." There is one man at least
on Long Island whose vocabulary
could and would supply far stronger
words, were he in the mayor's place.
STANDARD OIL When the govern
IN EUROPE ment (German) biU to
exclude the Standard
Oil Company came up for discussion
in the Reichstag the other day, the
Socialist leader and the speaker for
the clericals, two parties that might
have combined simply to hold up the
government party, declared - them
selves and their followers to be unal
terably opposed to the measure, and
would fight it tooth and nail. Official
Germany is incf-ined to favor the
Standard Oil, hence the opposition.

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
HOME RULE.
ESTACADA, Dec. 27, 1912 (Edi
tor of the Enterprise.) In my plan
of district home rule in the road ques
tion, I do not think it wise to empha
size me bonding teature too strongly.
There are other features really more
important. I wish the road districts
to have all the powers that school
districts enjoy.
I have written seven sections of
the bill! and- commenced the eighth.
Section 1. provides that all road
districts are bodies with power to
sue and to be sued.
Section 2. Provides for election of
three directors and clerk, and the ap
pointment of the supervisor by the
board of directors.
Section 3. Provides that the voters
of the district shall meet once a year,
the meeting to be called the Annual
Road Meeting, and that special meet
ings may be held.
Section 4. Provides time of holding
Annual Road Meeting and states the
quorum.
Section 5. Provides for the elec
tion of the officers.
Section 6. Provides for levying
taxes, gives road meeting power to
direct the expenditure of the money,
provides for adjourned meetings ot
the, Annual Road Meeting, and the
manner in which business may come
before the meeting.
Section 7. Gives the qualifications
of a legaf voter which must be the
qualifications as laid down in Sec. 2,
Art. 2, of the Oregon constitution as
amended Nev. 5, 1912. The present
district tax law is unconstitutional as
it puts restrictions on voting not
countenanced by the constitution.
In Section 8, I am providing that a
district may vote bonds by a rigidly
guarded vote at an Annual Road Meet
ing, or a special meeting called for
that purpose. I have not thought
this section out yet.
In other sections I shall further de
fine the powers of the road meetings;
the powers and duties of the board ot
directors, the duties of the clerk and
supervisor. It will be a bill of con
siderable length necessarily, but it
will be patterned closely on school
.district organization. I propose to
arrango it so that all tax money rais
ed on the property of the district
shall be spent in tne district, and to
leave the county court with as few
troubles as possible.
I believe we wil 1 get more and bet
ter roads for the money under such
a law than we do now. It wil! cause
people to take a greater interest in
roads than they do now. There is
little danger but tne people will take
interest in the matter as large sums
of money will be spent and many
people in the distict will get employ
ment. I believe there will be two
dollars of special tax voted under
such a system to one that is voted
now. .
. I think that a county is too large
a unit to vote bonds for roads, but 1
feel some districts will vote bonds as
they will know where the money will
be expended and who will spend it.
It will be directly under their eyes.
Then too, I am not limiting a dis
trict to a ten mill tax. I am leaving
that to their discretion. If they
wish, to levy 20 mills it is their own
business.
Please write me suggestions.
