BEST SYSTEM IN THE WORLD FOR HIGHWAYS The writer was convinced last year thai Oregon had the best system in the world for the construction and mainten ance of state highways , j And he still believes it was the best j But this state has a still better system since the con structive and remedial legislation was enacted by the legis lature at its recent session . So what was best before is now still better. There is no such thing as absolute perfection in human affairs. No general law can give exact justice in all individ ual cases. But the writer believes that the present system ,and the present laws ought to stand, as giving the very best that the world affords up to the present time. The reader who has any doubt concerning the wisdom of any of the new legislation touching upon highway matters is commended to the article in this issue of The Statesman giv ing a synopsis of all of it. BITS FOR BREAKFAST Paving Is the thing. No one longer doubts It And the only question is of the bst ways to get it. and get it on all the main roads . And Oregon Is on the way of the paved highway, with th bt system in the wl 1 world; and growing better all the time. . I-et no man throw any rocks at it; bat let every red-blooded Ore gon citizen stand up and insist that the program go on and on; a little more each year, as the li cense taxes will take care of it . So we will ultimately ariive with all of our main roads hard surfaced, without any direct taxes raid or ever to be paid. Two American detectives are in German jails for attempting to arrest American draft eraders in that country. The United States government is still technically at war with Germany, and the auth orities at Washington ought at once to demand the release of these American citizens, in jail for doing their duty as American citi zens. If compliance should not be made at once, let the Ameri can soldiers on the Rhine go np and put the whole German gov ernment in jail. V Rroccoli is the big thing for a cash winter crop in the Salem dis trict. Our farmers should grow it, and in car lota in each neigh borhood. It will be like "mony from home" each winter. THIS WOMAX SUFFERED During the year 1919, only five states constructed more miles cf paved highways than did Oregon,. During the same year only four states expended more state money for road purposes, although . in several other states the combined amount of state, federal government and local funds expend ed under direction of the state authorities was greater than the combined amount for Oregon. For the year 1920 complete statistics of expenditures and completed mileages are not available, but it is quite cer tain that Oregon will rank as high, if not higher, than in 1919. In amounts of state funds available for highway work during 1920 Oregon stood fourth among all the states. In the amounts of bonds authorized ; for highway im provement since 1918, Oregon ranks eighth, being led by sev en states only which have authorized bonds in amounts from $25,000,000 to as high as $75,000,000. The last named amount refers to Minnesota, with 60 millions for Illinois, 60 for Missouri, 50 for Pennsylvania, 50 for Michigan, 50 for West Virginia, 40 for California, and 25 millions for Alabama. Oregon is being made over by paved roads. Within sev en years, perhaps, $100,000,000 will have been put into paved roads in this state. Oregon's paved road building system is the best in the world because it rests upon money received from license taxes paid on vehicles using traction other than . horse power, and upon gasoline and distillate taxes. These taxes will retire all the bonds and finally pay for all the paved highways and for extending them and keeping them in re pair. There will never be a direct tax. Marion county is taking anadvanced position among Ore gon counties in providing paved market roads. The program calls for continued building for four more years; and there is no doubt that it will be kept up for all time, with some exten sions each year, and repair work going on indefinitely. J Mrs. H. A. Leaman. Sturgis. Colo., writes: "I suffered jrith bladder trouble for years. Doctor ed and tried everything. No help. Finally a friend sent me Foley K.'dney Pills. They helped me so much I used 7 bottles. Now I feel fine. Spent sleepless nights. Suf fered so it seemed I hardly could !lve. Recommend Foley Kidney Pills to ill who suffer from kidney trouble as I did." Sold every where, (adv.) Nb one any longer has any doubt that paved highways are very much cheaper than the dirt roads of the past;. so the time will come when all main roads will be hard surfaced. The ultimate test is the saving of man power and with pa ved highways this is extended many fold. Paved highways are art great an advance over the old system as were railroads over the old stage coach. In the matter of social life and convenience, the comparison is as great as in the matter of placing every farm in touch with all the markets. 1 .Oregon was slow in starting the building up of her sys tem of paved highways. But she started right, and has pro ceeded along the right lines, up to the present time, and any swerving from the constructive program now or at any time in the future should not be even thought of. Keep on keep ing on ought to be the motto. R. A Booth. John B. Yeon and W. B. Barrett are the State Highway Commissioners; and three more able, honest and unselfish men would be hard to find in Oregon or any oth er state The Highway Engineer is Herbert Nunn, and Roy A. Kleiri is Secretary of the Commission both able men, and TRADE WITH RUSSIA MAY BE RESUMED (Continued from page 1) some gold and platinum and a lit tle flax, Russia was without any considerable amount of commodi ties which would have a market in this country. 2000 Mile Pigeon Flight Planned EDMONTO.

Mar. 24. The old question "why is a mouse? seems to have been answered at last. He's a seed planter, accord ing to the forestry service." and with the chipmunk, plays a big part In the restoration of forests in the west. . The appetite of rodents for pine nd fir tree seed has often been commented upon, forcefully and unfavorably, by those attempting to replant burned or logged areas but J: V. Hoffman of the Stabler! Washington experimnet station has found that young trees re turning to such lands frequentl) comefrom "seed buried by small rodents beneath the duff of the forest floor." j "I TELL MY BANKER" TjEOPLE are coming more and more to A talk over their problems with some banker.
