A Hppcial election will be held In
ClackamaH county Monday for the
purpose of voting on a county bond
issue for $1,700,000 for road im
provement. A feature which distinguished the
proposed bond Issue from issues of oth
er counties is that the money is to be
expended only on hard surface. The
roadbed must bo graded and made I
ready for .the pavement by the district
before the money is made available out
of the bond issue .to the diHtrict. For
this purpose the .county la to be divided
into 12 dlHtrlcts
It is around this feature that the chief
opposition to the bonds la based. It is
asserted that it will require of some dis
tricts a burden they cannot bear.
It is alno charged by opponents of the
measure that it is being backed by the
paving Interests. On the other hand,
the advocates of the bond issue charge
that the opposition comes principally
from those districts which already have
hard surfaced roads and are unwilling
to contribute anything to other districts
not so well favored as they have been.
An active campaign has been carried on
by both sides.
"There Is developing now a strong
sentiment against the bonds on the part
of Oregon City voters for the reason
that Oregon City is already bonded
heavily," commented Harvey G. Stark
weather, one of the leaders of the op
position. "My record will show that I have al
ways been a good roads advocate, but
the present proposal is one I cannot In
dorse. By the provisions of the meas
ure, if enacted, hardship will be wrought
In many districts, particularly In those
which have already established good
roads, and which will not share in the
benefits of the issue, though subject to
the heavy additional levy."

MAYOR
MATES
PLAN' TO REVIVE
DEATH PENALTY
Friday Night's Fatal Holdup Stirs
Mayor to Action, and Draft of
Amendment Is Ordered.
1920 ELECTION TO DECIDE
Measure Will Come Before Peo
ple in Form of Initiative; Many
Petitions to Be Sent Out.
Mayor Baker Instructed City At
torney LaRoche Saturday to prepare
immediately an amendment to the
state constitution which, if passed.
would reinstate capital punishment
in Oregon.
LaRoche will prepare all neces
sary documents and petitions that
the people, by the signatures of 8
per cent of the voters, may utilize
the initiative and place the matter
on the ballot at the general election
In November, 1920.
Petitions will be sent to all posts of
the American Legion over the state, to
clubs and other organizations. Mayor
Baker asserts that he will do all in his
power to see that the amendment is
placed before the people.
"The cold-blooded murder In the
Claremont tavern Friday night was the
last straw in lawlessness," declared the
mayor. "Two of our responsible citi
zens were shot down It was appalling.
That boasting fiend Johnson, who mur
dered Mrs. Freeman, and the Centralia
outrage have stirred my blood to the
boiling point. I'm sure the people of
Oregon will back this movement to
bring murderers to time. Someone has
to start the wheels moving to restore
capital punishment I'm willing.
"Let's make Oregon too hot for mur
derers," continued the mayor. "This is
no time for sympathy for them we
must use every weapon of the law to
bring them to their knees. Capital pun
ishment is necessary I'm convinced of
that."
