(To the Ed Iter.) I mi loth to believe that anyone of enough intelligence to vote and own property cannot be persuaded to chance his mind it It can be shown that he is acting the part of the man who cut off his nose to spite his own face. But I have yet to find a single objection against the road paving bonds that , does not put the one who urges It in . that category. The objectors are from Missouri, and bave got to be shown when convinced, they will be as enthu siastic for the bonds as the rest of us. Let s consider It dispassionately, as If it were purely an individual mat ter. If you, Mr. Clerk, or you, "In quircr, or you. union labor man, were earning 12000 a year and broke your ieg, would you refuse to hire a sur geon for $250 to put you on your feet again, even though you had to borrow the money, on the ground that it would increase your burdens? Suppose you had a farm 30 miles from the city which, once profitable, was now, under changed conditions, running behind; but by getting a paved highway to the city you could market your products, sell small tracts to home builders, and again become prosperous; wouldn't you In either case adopt the sensible alter native, even If it upset all your pre conceived notions about taxation? In other words, wlj. you now refuse to Invest 18 cents a year in aaaittonai taxes on each $1000 of value, even the cost of some self-denial, to bring ultimate prosperity to yourself and others, merely because you do not be' lieve in the principle, or hold some foolish grudge, or indulge the sus picion that there must be graft in it for someone? Illustrations Held Applicable. I anticipate your reply, that the Il lustrations are not applicable, but I Insist they ere, except only in degree. Do not forget how small your invest mailt is IS cents per $1000 taxable value. If the Coirnty Commissioners could have added it without our vot ing upon it we would never have known It through our taxes. Of course, we cannot expect to get hundreds of dol lars' immediate return from so small an outlay; but to the clerk, the grocer, the plumber, the small merchant, the returns which may filter through a thousand channels from the $800,000 of this bond issue which wilt be paid to labor may be the difference between loss of position or business and a con tinuance thereof. The addition of new capital to the body politic through ufeeful enterprises is exactly analogous to the circulation of bloed In the hu man body, and every member of the municipality must benefit by it; he cannot possibly escape it, unless he becomes an outlaw, although it may come in such obscure channels that he cannot clearly discern It. "Inquirer argues that aved streets do not enhance the value ef city prop erty because his and others' cannot be sold, and therefore we should not" be taxed tor permanent roads; that he cannot go to the country because the land costs $200 to $700 an acre. "In quirer" perhaps forgets that an acre of land is equal to eight city lots, be sides freeing him from all other city expenses, with lower taxes. But it does not have hard-surface roads, so ...i.i i. rnr t u hi s living. If In quirer" finds it hard to pay taxes and Improvement assessments now, ean i be made easier by continued stagna renditions Mast Be Fared. - Tv n.n.t fici tha conditions. We have dealt the state and city a body blow by voting prohibition, putting S000 men out of employment, made va cant hundreds of homes, and tempor arily annihilated $20,000,000 of prop .riv value in this city. We are in the condition ef the man with a broken etr. and must pay the price tQ restore our former earning power. How shall we do it? One good way is to develop the country around the city. A family living on every five or in r in Multnomah County wouia (ven up values and reduce the1 rate of taxation. This desirsble. and quite nafssible. condition cannot be had without permanent highways. A num ber of Eastern men with families have recently come to Portland to live a life of ease and retirement, and want to buy homes: but they require more than n few cltv lots. When they ap T roach the mud wall at the city limits - they turn back wun oispusu Another good way is to make our eity and environs so attractive to the motoring tourist that he will linger in our midst. These . tourists are free spenders, and they are an ever-ln. creasing army: but you peed pot ex ect them to remain very long to mo tor over macadam roads, when other progressive cities are appealing to them with hundreds of miles of paved highways. Effect Reach All. Do not think for an instant 'that be cause they live at hotels and do not hire labor, the money they expend here will not benefit you. The effect of every dollar of it will eventually percolate to the remotest and humblest laborer in the county. Especially do I appeal to you, laborer and small home owner, be cause you have most to gain. There are no large private enterprises under way. and it is a most favorable time to carry out the improvements con templated where we want to get a dollar's worth for every dollar ex pended. Instead of carping at respon sible men who are devoting their time and labor to this great enter prise without coat, instead of making unfounded and foolish charges of graft, why not stand as a unit "all for one and one for all." and help to bring about a new and better condition. Don't let pique or provocation stand between you and a right decision on this question. Before you can decide to vote against these good road bonds you must be able to feel that you are not a vital part of the community, that you are so much a law unto your self that you neither need assistance from, nor care to give aid to. your fellows. Can you conscientiously come to that conclusion?

Barrere's compan ions are solo artists of first rank on oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon, and are affiliated with leading orchestras of the world. The delicious, pastoral music made by the woodwind calls up pictures of the god Pan playing to dancing nymphs in Arcadian meadows, while afar off the shepherds with their flocks listen entranced. Beethoven, Schubert, the supreme melodist of the ages; Mozart, -and in our own day.

PARTY IS WEEK ON WAY Trip to The Dalles and Canal Made to Study Engineering Work In Prosress SJany Side Trips Are Tart ot Outing. Seven members of the Jefferson High School Technical Club returned Fri day from TUe Dalles and Celiio, having walked all the way and studied the Columbia Highway en route. The ob ject of the trip was to study engineer ing work in progress along the Colum bia Rivor and the Celiio Canal, which is to be opened early next month- The hikers covered the distance from The Dalles to Celiio and then to Portland, more than 100 miles, in seven days, and made many side trips to places of interest. The first party to return was com nosed of J. I Perry. Ben Schiewe, Jack Frost, Eric Brown. Lee Schoube, Wilbur Carl and Jack Holden. The hikers left Portland -Friday morning. April 2. on the steamer State of Washington, arriving at The Dalles about 11 o'clock. Hike Celile) Made. They camped there for the night and on the following day hiked to Celiio for an inspection of the - canal. The return march for Portland from Celiio was begun about s o giock baiuraay afternoon. The trip was made by easy stages, the niKers covering aooui is or 20 miles a day. carrying their blan kets and other camping parapnernaua with them. After Hood Kiver was passea, me trip was over the Columbia Highway tor the remainder of the distance, ex cept when side trips of exploration were made. A climb to the top of Larch Mountain ,io view tne sunrise was made inure day. The party started early and was six or seven hours reaching the summit-Thirty-five other members of the club met the seven at Cascade Locks Tuesday morning, and the party broke up into 6mail groups, eacn group ex ploring the places that interested it most. The first seven were not to be de layed, however, and kept up their tramp over the highway. They were caught in a storm when near camp v. on the highway, and were taken in by Superintendent Buyers, of Camps 7 and S. . and re mained his guests until the next day. He then took them ever the old mili tary trail and to the great cut through the petrjried forest, just west of Tan ner Creek. All along, the work of the highway was explained to the embryo engineers. Party Walks Nearly All Night. The party arrived in Portland about 10 o'clock Friday morning. To reach their destination in that time, however, the hikers had to walk nearly all the preceding night, only a brief time for rest Detng taken. The members of the party all de clared the hike to have been a roost successful and enjoyable one. It was no palace car trip," said Ben Schiewe last night, "but nevertheless we enjoyed it. We aH reached Port land in good shape, except the nresi- oent Of tne ciun, jsck f rost, who bor rowed someone a shoes and was, as a consequence, somewhat footsore," The men took notes on the con struction of both the Celiio Canal and the highway.

They say they gained prac tical knowledge of the theoretical problems - of the clsss' and ' absorbed more genuine knowledge of engineering feats than tney imagined possible.

I note by the evenins papers of Friday much interest has been aroused, tosether with some inquiries (the latter particularly by the County Roadmaster and chairman of the eooa roads com mittee), because of a card published by m. bearing the following; inscription Eighty ner cent or amount raisea Dy rood roads bonds will so for graft, or profit, or royalties, as you may can it. Election April Jl. vote no. First. I wish to thus publicly confess to the authorship of this card, however, with no intent to violate any law. This card was published by ma in contradiction of the card emanating from the bond boosters to the effect that 80 per cent of the money raised by the bond issue would so to labor. In not attaching my name, etc., to my card I merely followed the lead of the bond boosters as to form, ana ao sence of anything except the union label to denote authorship. I shoum nave known better.

We do object to $1,250,000 being spent under the supervision of men who did not eome- within $450,000 of their esti mate on work performed on the Colum bia Kiver Highway. We do object to following the advice of men who will deliberately fish for the votes of the laboring men with voice, card and press, representing that 80 per cent of this issue.
