That Is why there' Is - Urovlslon ln the bills for a state englretr. Mosl of the money spent on the roads during the past forty years, has been practical ' ly squandered. Enough worjf and money have "been applied to the . roads to have made a splendid sys tem, hut both money and effort wero . often misapplied.

It Is a process , that has been . repeated hundreds of thousands of times ln Oregon, and all oldtime Oregonlans know it It was hopeless and costly waste. .The harmony road bills propose a better plan.

Mr. Bryan would demand aad get a Interest. man In tb United of Portland commission men that ther has sine been a one htlrd In crease ln the output of poultry prod uct of the region. The late special Is the first epa rate poultry car that ha ever been sent out In any state. It is the first demonstration car that has made ao extended a tour with such long stops. It broke all records of attendance on one trip. Missouri, for instance, sent out this spring, a cow and hen spe cial and reported an attendance of 15.000. . against the 25,000 of the Oregon poultry special. The Oregon special was the best equipped car Illustrating poultry keeping any- state .has sent . out... It was directed and planned by Pro fessor James Dryden, head of the poultry department at the college, the man who handled the Oregon hen that laid 259 eggs in It months, which Js the egg-producing record for the western hemisphere. ' H. E. Lounshnry of the Southern Pacific was also a leading factor ln the success of the car, which was hauled not only ln local but In through trains, In order to expedite progress and meet dating. Has the movement beguji for stop ping the costly Importation by Ore gon of poultry products? PARCELS POST IN VTETV r MORE COAIi TO BUM UST over twenty-two years ago ' I the existence of coal measures i J close to Dover, In Kent, was iX -proved by borings made by di rection of Sir Edward Watklay a well known English financier, and an en thusiast for a channel tunnel be ; tween England and France. But the general public eroffed, Sir Edward 'Watkln died, and no more borings were made for several years. . " i But his mant!? and his faith de ecended to Arthur Burr, who cre " ated enough' confidence to get funds entrusted to him to bore, deeper and deeper yet, until not only was the presence of coal proved, but seams four feet six Inches aDd five feet two Inches thick were found in 1906 Then another seam our-1 feet four I-tches , thick: Was discovered, and a coal field of about ono -hundred and ' fifty . square miles In area "was marked out. , ' " - i.

H - T is a fact past question that the nation owes a deep debt to the senate committee on postof flees and post roads, and especially to Its chairman. Senator Bourne, for an intelligent understanding of the methods of all the greater civilized nations of the world ln solving the problem of the parcels post. To the chairman of the committee was delegated the duty of securing and testing the Immense mass of ma terial. His results were evidenced ln the carefully worked out charts Issued last year for public lnforma tion. Two varying principles are adopt ed by other nations. One the fixed rate for postal service on pareets re gardless of distance, the other the zonal plan of rates varying with dis tance. The densely populated coun tries off small area favor the former, but the; zonal plan Is followed by countries of large and small area.. Senator Bourne's bill adopts the best features of both. . Speaking broadly, it follows the German zonal plan, but creates much wider zoneB for this great country. It adopts, with some modifications the British variant rates. The mall order houses cannot be expected to favor it. If It had been drawn for the special benefit of the farmer and of the local storekeep er, by fostering the cheap and easy delivery of the produce of the and to the city consumer, and.bv binding the resident of the land s a perma nent customer of the local store( It is hard, to see now tne plan couia have been Improved. Ot course bitter opposition of the express companies will, be met.' It is feared ln some quarter that they may lower their "charges and Intro duce a rate' war when the new sys tem goes into effect ,The answer Is that careful examination and com parison shows that the government rates have beeAframed on the operation- of the entire system,., of short and long distances, with a great pre ponderance of parcels of one to- elev en pounds-weighti'Tbe defined pur pose 'waa5- to construct a plan that square deal Jot tb plain people. There wasn't afraan of average In formation ln the United State la 190S bat knew Mr. Bryan would. If elected, use the presidential office to atop the very abuaea of which Mr. Lad fl complains. The trust knew It, and every one of them and their brigadier were against him. The captains of Big Business knew It, and every one of them was against him. Thoae who get special favor from government knew It, and every one of them was against him But In vaat numbers the plain people Joined with the trusts In se lecting Mr. Taft, and they got what they voted for. We have the ballot, and we have the numbers, and we will always get exactly the kind of government we vote for. AS UNDESIRABLE HT ORE than one candidate op posed by The Journal ln the recent campaign has gained unenviable notoriety since the primaries. One ,1s H. C. King, candidate for state representative. He Is accused of having swindled Joe Miller, a ell ent, out of $281.35 and a revolver. Miller was under arrest and, as his attorney, King induced him to sign a paper which conveyed the money and the revolver to the lawyer Miller is unable to reVd, and claims King assured him that the order he signed was for $50, the amount of the attorney fee. Miller has brought suit to recover his money. Because of so many complaints by prisoners that they had been swln died by police court lawyers, Chief Slover recently promulgated an or der forbidding he payment of money to attorneys until the terms of the order have been confirmed by the person by whom it is signed, That King was an undesirable, was pointed out by The Journal dur ing the campaign. But he was nominated in the pri maries, and is a regular Republican candidate for representative. He is likely to be elected. If elected, Mr. King will have a voice in exercising the taxing power over $890,000,000 of Oregon prop erty. . - (ion. rav1r4 by Ih people. 11 tb J) art pi a iarhare him you woui aia. charts aa emptor wh failed I par form lb ric for which yott were pay tat hie.
