Portland, A HIGHWAY BLUNDER 'I'iiB Journal nas no "war to make on tha state highway commission. Members of the commission are be set with arduous, onerous and often thankless tasks. ' Nor ia there doubt of the sincerity of, purpose and high Intentions of those serving cm. that ery important body. Nor is t In criticism burin well intended suyestidn that The Journal repeats that the late sale of long term bonds instead of short term bonds was a mistake. It has been publicly claimed by" the commission that there is no provision for refund' ins of bonds and that at the expire' tion of short term obligations the commission would be without 'power to refund. That is not a sound reply. The legislature would be only too glad tb unanimously grant the commission authority to refund when shown, as it would be shown, that sale of short term bonds had resulted in a saving of thousands of dollars to the state. It is also stated in behalf! of its action that the commission - could not know that interest rates '.would be lower, and that if it did "have such knowledge members of the body could command high salaries on Wall street. f The example of the federal itreas arduous. For the mother who can-! not afford a maid, and to whom paying , someone who comes in for the few:: hours of her absence also represents an expense to be avoided if possible, the chance to turn .her baby over to high school girls who, perforce, musf use careful and sci entific methods, is a godsend. In Portland, it appears from a statement by the superintendent of pBChooIs, life-size': dolls represent the extreme of progress in teaching the care of children to girl students in the Polytechnic high school.

To the Editor of The Journal I cannot understand the policy of a newspaper in accepting a distortion of facts from one side to the detriment rf another side and represent ing it as being editorial opinion. Surely honesty must still be the best policy if future esteem and correct moulding of public opinion is to endure. We con demn the Individual falsifier as a social leper. Can we conscientiously condone falsifying by any other medium because it may be a powerful public Institution? Are we expected to respect accepted propaganda as honest editorial opinion?
