Bonding: for Roads There are a number of argu ments which tend to prove that a county, and especially a new county, is making a good invest ment in bonding to construct a system of permanent highways. One of the strongest is the fact that the construction of good roads has the natural effect of increasing land values. In com munities where it has been done it has been reported that the ap preciation in values has been sufficient to pay several times over the amount invested in roads. The logical result is that the levy to cover interest and to establish a sinking f und is each year being made on an increased valuation, so that the burden, which at first may appear heavy, becomes relatively lighter each year. In Jackson county it was shown that the amount of money which was being expended an nually under the old arrange ment for the construction of what the county court admitted was a patchwork, would be suffi cient to pay the interest on the $1,500,000 and also to create a sinking fund sufficient to retire the bonds at the end of the twenty-year period for which they were issued. At the same time the county would be enjoy ing the use of the improved high ways and reaping the benefits. Bonding for the building of a permanent system of roads en ables a county to make an invest ment which, because of its effect in promoting the commercial wel fare of the community and in creasing land values, pays for itself within a few years. Still Swarm To Cities Although the "back to the soil" spirit has been as strong or stronger in Oregon than in other states, statistics just published show that there has been a strong drift even in this state during the past decade away from the farms and to the cities. Ten years ago the percentage of people in the cities of 2500 or more was 32.2 and on the farms 67.8. In 1910, so the figures just published for this state show, there were 48.6 per cent in the cities and 54.4 in rural Oregon. Harney, Lake and Mal heur counties average less than one person to the square mile. This year will see a state-wide campaign of education which will lead toward instead of away from the farm. The State Bank ers' Association, the O. A. C. and the Oregon Development League are co-operating with the state superintendent of pub lic instruction to formulate a a course of study to be introduced into the public schools. A con ference is to be held at Corvallis the middle of the month. There are plenty of orchardists in the Hood River valley who have tried both city and country life and who can testify to the ad-1 vantages of the latter. It is safe to predict that the move ment just launched will meet with the active cooperation of the citizens of Hood River county. A Presidential Year It is doubtful whether a pres idential year ever arrived with the political aspect of things so befuddled as they are with the coming of 1912. While this ap plies especially to the Grand Old Tarty, Democracy is in pretty much the same predicament. Woodrow Wilson's loss of his own state and the more recent "exposure" by his political en emies of his application for a iH'nsion from the Carnegie fund have hardly tended to brighten his prospects. In the Republican ranks the recent injection of Roosevelt'n name cannot have been entirely edifying to those who are supposed to be fixing things up for the campaign. Both parties are apparently scan ning the horizon in vain for the man of th? hour and as yet he gives no sign of making his ap pearance. ' To the dearth of eligible candidates, so far as get ting the votes of the great mass of people is concerned, is added the further complication occa sioned by the split between regu lars and progressives in both camps. Taken altogether it is a safe guess that the old line poli ticians in both parties put a whole lot of sincerity into the words when they wished each other and the party a "A Happy and Prosperous New Year." Miss Rachel Bell will celebrate her hundreth birthday Sunday at Adamsville, O. She admits that for one hundred years she has never been kissed by any persons except her parents. Miss Bell may mean that this is the secret of her long life, but there are a whole lot of young women who will maintain that longevity would be vain under such circumstances. If every man did his duty there wouldn't be an old maid in the country. The census bu reau has just announced that there are 46,332,122 men and only 44,640,144 women. Unat tached gentlemen are advised to bethink themselves of their shortcomings and make New Year's resolutions in accordance. When Carnegie distributes his next batch of hero medals, his attention is respectfully called to the Oregon man who has just been made the father of Number Twenty-two. DOCTOR REPORTS ON CWS HEALTH At the inet'tin of the city council heM Friday evening the report of Ir Malcolm lironnon, city health officer, for five luonthr wart unit ted an follow?: "Since July firt to the (.rut of the prenent month there have 'vii re ported to thin office :U birth. 14 deaths und two cafes of contalo.iH disease.
