PLAXS FOR GOOD ROADS.
The state of Massachusetts ia prepar
ing to take hold of the good-roads ques
tion in earnest. Several years ago a
"state highways commission" was ap
pointed. This body has thoroughly
investigated the subject of roads and has
reached intelligent conclusions as to
what should be done. The commission
will suggest two plans of road improve
ment. One of these is to borrow f 5,000,
000 upon the state's credit and proceed
at once to build good roads with the
money. The other plan is not to bor
row, but to raise by taxation each year
a sum equal to four per cent of $5,000,
000 and use it for the gradual construc
tion of good roads. In the one case the
people would have good roads at an ex
pense of four per cent on the invest
ment, with necessity of ultimately pay
ing the principal of the bonded indebt
edness. By the other plan the sum of
$5,000,000 would have been collected
and expended after twenty years. One
plan obtains the improvement for the
present generation and leaves it to
future generations to enjoy and pay
for. By the other plan the present gen
eration pays for the improvement and
succeeding generations enjoy it.
There is a growing demand for good
roads all over the country, but there is
an aversion to paying for them. Much
of this feeling is due to the fact that' the
taxpayer is seldom directly and some
times not indirectly benefited by the
money paid out by him. With. good
roads, however, the benefits of the ex
penditure would be apparent in the in
creased value of the farmer's land and
crops. Good roads are not likely to be
bestowed on the farmers and other citi
zens of Oregon free of cost. They will
have to be paid for. They ehould be
got, and got as cheaply as really good
roads may be had. The people who use
them most and who will profit' most by
their construction shonkPhelp to pay
for them. The action of the present
assembly on this subject will be awaited
with much interest.
They should charge admission to the
sessions of the Kansas state legislature
Then revenue by taxation could be dis
pensed with.
The volcano Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, is
threatening an eruption. Mauna Loa,
Paris; Topeka, Olpmpia and the South
American republics will 6ee that this old
world doesn't grow dull.
A Washington paper thinks a bill
should be passed allowing mileage for
the wives of members of the legislature.
That would put a stop to the high jinks
now going on. at Olympia to "Kodac"
Votes for Allen.
Stories of a niah who Was Cured of a
broken back at Pittsburg have been
going the rounds of the newspapers. It
is rumored that the backbone of the
Reading coal combine will now be taken
there for treatment.
It is said that twenty-nine generals
died in the United States last year.
There was also frightful mortality among
the colonels. The Panama scandal has
not yet reached the full limit of its
powers for evil. There are several
prominent Frenchmen against whom
nothing has been alleged up to .date.
In a Nebraska stone-quarry there has
been unearthed a monstrous petrifaction
with the head of a sea-serpent, the bill
of a saw fish and the jawbones of a shark.
It is supposed to have been petrified
while being looked at by an early and
thirsty Kansau. It will of course, be
taken to the Cook county "Worlds fair
at Chicago.
One of the most important bills intro
duced is by Mr. Durham, amending the
Australian ballot law in respect to the
form of a ballot. The bill is modeled
after the laws of Illinois, Indiana and
- California, and provides that the names
of all candidates shall be printed on one
ballot, as at present, but instead of the
names being arranged in alphabetic or
der, the names of the candidates of each
party are printed in parallel columns.
If the voter desires to vote a straight
ticket he can do eo by simply - placing a
cross mark in a square above the ticket
which he wishes to. vote for. Opposite
each name on. the ballot 'is a small
square, and if the voter desires to vote a
mixed ticket he can express his choice
by placing the cross mark opposite the
names of the -candidates of his choice.
This method dispenses with the neces
sity of scratching a ticket to pieces in
order. to vote for certain persons and re
duces the chance for defective ballots' to
a ii.ininum. - ;

Can't be found
the equal of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. If other medi
cines of its class were like it, they'd
be guaranteed. This is. If it
doesn't benefit or cure, in every
case for -which it's recommended,
you get your money back. L
isn't a "cure-all," but it does cure
all diseases arising from a torpid
or deranged liver, or from impure
blood. For all Scrofulous, Skin and
Scalp Diseases, it's a positive rem
edy. Even Consumption, or Lung
scrofula, is cured by it, if taken in
time and given a fair trial. That's
all that's asked for it a fair trial.
Then, if it doesn't help you, there's
no pay.
We claim it to be an unequaled
remedy to purify the blood and. in
vigorate the liver. "Wo claim it to
bo lasting in its effects, creating an
appetite, purifying the blood, and

Malarial fevers, if taken in time.
The time to take it is when you
first feel the signs of weariness and
weakness. By druggists.
