There are just six days left for the voters of this county to make up their minds whether they will vote for or against the issuance of road bonds to the extent of $850,000. This excludes tomorrow, Sunday, during- which day the campaign will rest. It is safe o say that during- the five days, from Monday to Saturday, of next week, the interest will grow with each day. That was the case in the Clatsop and Colum bia campaigns, and it will likewise be true here. One of the most important meetings of the advocates of the bonds held thus far took place here last night in the opera-house. There was a large audience present and every word spoken by the advocates of the bonds was listened to with great interest. It was reported in Salem before we came here that the Silverton people, and the farmers near here, were very gen erally opposed to the bond issue and that the meeting would be made rather stormy by these opponents. On the contrary, the meeting was one of the most satisfactory of the week and scarcely a word in opposition has been heard on the Btreet, and surelV at the meeting no such feeling cropped out. On every hand one hears the com-' plaint that the issue should be for about $2,000,000 instead of $850,000, the advocates of so large an issue claiming that the amount to be voted upon is not large enough to do all that ought to be done. These people should remem ber that the taxable value of the county is less than $43,000,000 and 2 percent of the taxable valuation is all the law will allow a county to be bonded for its road building. It is, many think, a pity that the lawmakers did not make the limit 5 per cent instead of 3. If it were 5 per cent, Marion would be voting for $2,000,000 in place of the aum now specified. Limit May Be Raised. No doubt at the coming session of the Legislature an effort will be made to raise the limit to 5 per cent, or at least 4 per cent, and from the feeiings expressed in this county it seems more than likely that such a measure will meet with the approval of the voters of the state. The campaign for good roads is bound to be waged during the coming year In many counties. The elections in Marion and Clackamas a week from today will have a great errect on various other counties; if the bonds carry in both of these, a half dozen others will at once fall into line on the side of better roads. Looking at the situation here at first hand, and considering it at close range in Clackamas, it can truly be said that conditions in both counties are far more favorable than they were in Clat sop or Columbia a week before the vote was taken. It will be remembered that when Amos Benson and his party closed the campaign in Columbia the Saturday before the Monday of the election that the party returned to Portland very much depressed and with apparent de feat staring them in the face; but the bonds carried by a substantial majority. It seems far more than possible that the result will be the same here and in Clackamas. When the voters come to cast their ballots here they will have the matter sifted down to about this proposition: Our old system of build ing and maintaining our roads has been a failure; perhaps we had better try another plan, and this bonding plan seems to be about the only method now open to us. And then the votes will be cast for the bond issue. Better Roads Are Needed. Every man, woman and kid In Ore gron knows our want of better roads. The only disagreement is on the method of cettinc them. Ilndtir our Irwa there is no other way save by the bond issue route. Therefore, I have too much con fidence in the intelligence of the voters of Marion and Clackamas to think they will take a step backwards when they go to the polls a week from today. I believe they will, by a good majority, declare themselves lor the bond issue. This beautiful and quaint little city never looked better than it does today, the people never seemed more pros perous than they are now, the sur- ter advantage than it does at this mo ment. Kverybody who knows anything about Oregon is aware that Silverton is situated in one of the garden spots and beauty spots of the state. It was one of the earliest settled portions of the olden Oregon. We passed a great barn today which bore on it a date of 1859.

Grler, man ager of the Falls City Lumber Company, with -offices at Falls City, has decided to enter the Republican primaries for the Legislature. It will be neces sary for the Republicans to write in the name of Mr. Grier. Mr. Grler was selected because of a desire in this county to follow the plan advocated in Portland of selecting competent business men and taxpayers for this of fice. Thirty-five Republican Dallas business - men signed an open written request to Mr. Grier to accept the nomination ; in addi tion to this, an endorsement con taining several hundred Repub lican names, voters from all sec tions of the county, has been forwarded to Mr. Grier; and a petition and endorsement signed by 300 voters of all political faiths in Falls City has been completed.

OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU, Wash. ington. May 8. President Wilson took it upon himself some time ago to in duce Representative Clayton to. with draw from the Senatorial race in Ala bama, on the plea that he needed his "aid and advice' in pushing through Congress the anti-trust bills then in contemplation. Mr. Clayton, in a polite note to the President withdrew from the Senatorial race to help the Adminis tration with its anti-trust programme. Since then President Wilson has nom inated Representative Clayton to be United States District Judge in Ala bama; Clayton has accepted the ap pointment and has been promptly con firmed by the Senate. lie was placed on the bench at a time when the anti trust bills had not been definitely shaped up; before they were considered by the House, and before the House had opportunity to consider the Senate amendments which probably are in Meant to Aid Undervrogil. At the time the President Induced Mr. Cltyton to get out of the Senatorial race it was well understood that the Presi dential intervention was in the interest of Represenative Underwood, who at the time was in high standing with the Administration. The suggestion was made that perhaps Clayton, anticipating defeat in the primaries, had sought that method of eliminating himself grace- ully, but this suggestion was met with denials from the Administration.
