CITY OFFICIAL NEWSPAPER.
WALLOWA COUNTY HAS SOLVED the road problem, to a
large extent, by the decision of its county court to cut down the
number of road district and to make the supervisors directly re
sponsible to the court instead of to the people of the district.
. The roads of any district are not district roads they are county roads.
The supervisors should be held directly responsible to the county court, the
representatives of the whole people of the county. No little division of the
unit should have an influence over matters that directly affect all of the peopie
(and the step that Wallowa county has taken is the first one that all other
counties of the state should take in the effort to solve some of the mysteries
of road work.
There are many things in the construction of county highways besides
the actual work on the roads. The difficulties that have to be met in the
way of engineering problems arc not half as much worry to the court as the
other troubles that come up from time to time in determining some of the
policies that are to be followed.
Fewer road districts and direct responsibility to the county court makes
for real progress in the way of meeting the issues of the road difficulties of the
county. Some time ago, the county court sent out orders to all of the road
supervisors to attend a conference in the rooms of the Commercial club and
to make a report on the work that had been done and discuss some of the
things that have interfered with further work.
Hardly one-half of these road supervisors attended the conference. Re
sponsible only to the people of their districts, the orders of the county court
are more in the nature of requests that the supervisors may obey or disregard
at their own sweet pleasure.
Such conditions should be changed at once. The county court is held
responsible by the whole people for the work that the members do while they
are in office. If the people do not believe that they have properly discharged
the functions of their office, their political fate is sealed and the end is not far
off. It is but fair, then, that the people of the county should give to their
representatives uie power 10 gonrroi more enecnveiy tne worK or tne super
visors and to direct them in the discharge of the duties on the county roads.
Though the court has the right to make the appointments, the people of
the districts believe that they should choose the man who is to handle their
money. That theory is all right if he handles only their money. But there
is no road district in the county that does not receive its share of the general
levy that is made for roads and the supervisor, consequently, handles the money
of the other residents of the unit who are not within the "road district but
who are assisting in the improvement of that district.
. Five road districts in this county would get better results and give the
county court more control over the management of the county funds than can
possibly be expected now when there is an army of supervisors with which to
deal. The county court cannot be expected to have that control over 59
supervisors that it could have over five nor could it be expected to keep in
touch with the way that the money is spent in each one of the districts when
Every Avenue of Develop
ment and Education Must
Be Opened to All
By Dr. FREDERIC C HOWE, Director of the People's Institute
of New York x
THERE HAS BEEN PARTIAL DEMOCRATIZATION OF OUR SEATS
OF HIGHER EDUCATION. IT MUST BE COMPLETED.
It was about one hundred years ago when America inaugurated
the idea of popular education. It made what had bee"a the privilege
of the few the right of all. The century's work has demonstrated that
THE WORLD CAN ELIMINATE ILLITERACY.
The original conception of this idea was satisfactory for a time. It
served its purpose. When to all who wanted it we gar, the training of
the public school we did far more than the balance of the world was
doing.
Life was simple in those days. Elaborate educational advantages
were not essential to the preparation of men for the shoemaker's bench
or the handles of the farmer's plow.
Going further, we opened colleges to train men for the pf ofessions
as well as schools to train them for the trades. Through these colleges
we gave to CERTAIN MEN ESPECIALLY FORTUNATE IN THE
POINT OF FAMILY or fortune or individual initiative the opportunity
for cultural growth of all kinds.
NOW WE MUST GO BEYOND THIS. EVERY AVENUE OF DE
VELOPMENT, EVERY AVENUE WHICH LEADS TO HUMAN HAPPI
NESS, SHOULD BE OPEN TO ALL, FROM CRADLE TIME TO GRAVE
TIME. -
YfY
there are so many of them.
The county should follow the example that has been set by the other
counties of the state arid should cut down the number of districts and place
the responsibility more directly upon the shoulders of the supervisors. The
knowledge that the county court will check over all of the work that is done
and that it has the power to approve or fail to approve plans and specifications
for work on every little piece of highway that the road supervisor has in mind
will g6 a long way toward bettering conditions in this county.
. Such a scheme would better the county and it would probably meet
with generaLfavor even among the supervisors themselves.
O -
EPRESENTATIVE BUCHANAN, of Brenham, Texas, has intro
duced a bill in the House of Representatives which is likely to arouse
a controversy in which the ire of the united dairy interests will be dis
played. But it is to be hoped that his bill, which would repeal the tax on
oleomargarine, may become a law in its essential features. One novelty in the
bill may not bear scrutiny. It prescribes penalties for consumers that know
ingly buy misbranded oleo. This would be practically impossible of enforce
ment because of the difficulty of proof. And there is a question as to its con
stitutionality.' The cities and states may protect persons who eat at restau
rants, hotels and boarding houses by requiring that where oleomargarine is
served instead of butter a sign to that effect be displayed by the landlord or
caterer.
For years the dairy interests have resisted the repeal of this tax, and they
have succeeded by alarmist methods in getting the co-operation of thousands
of farmers. Congressmen from the agricultural districts have usually voted
against their own judgment out of deference to the supposed wishes of their
constituents. It is fortunate that the congressman who is now urging the
matter may be called a country member, since, he lives in a small city of Texas
and in a district which has but one city of 30,000 population. The bill, ac
cording to the synopsis of it in the dispatches, would remove both the one
fourth of a cent a pound tax on uncolored oleomargarine and the 10 cents a
pound tax on the colored. It imposes strict governmental regulations on the
manufacture and sale of oleomargarine, among them being the provision that
it shall be sold in original packages bearing labels giving a true statement of
the nature of the contents and the name of the maker. Severe penalties are
provided for violation of any part of the proposed law. There should- be a
slight tax for two reasons: The payment of the cost of supervision and also to
insure federal control. It is subject to federal control. It is subject to fed
eral control now, unless designed for interstate shipment, only through its be
ing taxed under the internal revenue laws. The 10-cent tax is practically
prohibitive, as the annual output of colored oleomargarine is now only 3,000,
000 pounds. The uncolored product, bearing the" small tax, is nearly forty
times as great.
That oleomargarine is clean and wholesome is admitted by all. That
the coloring of it aids the imagination of the consumer tremendously is like
wise conceded. That the consumer should, under the circumstances, have
the right to buy it at the reasonable price at which it can be produced, pro
vided he knows what he is buying or eating, ought to be equaly oblvious to
any fair-minded person. It is to be hoped that the congressmen will have
enough backbone to defy the noisy dairy lobbyists and reduce this objectionable
tax. It would rejoice the consumer more than does even the agricultural
bulletins' praise of popcorn as a diet.
Never pass by the small things or the
large ones will pass you. Small ac-
counts usually grow; we welcome the
small accounts.

Cooperation
The Modern
Dynamo
Cooperation does not mean let
ting the other fellow do all the
work. -
It means pulling together.
In your case, Mr. Dealer, it
means joining with the advertis
ers, of national products in -the "in
telligent sale of their goods.
It means helping the manufac
turers select the right advertising
mediums which are the newspa
pers in your town and it means
- backing up the advertisements.
-Hav the goods on hand when
they ate advertised. Show them -:
Talk about them. Push them.
Is is wonderful how fast the
chariot of trade will move when
both of you are pulling in the
same direction.
And the going will be pleasant
because it will be along the scen
ic highway of prosperity.

tions, write to the Bureau of Ad
