OREGON'S THE BEST HIGHWAY PROGRAM IN THE
WORLD
Oreeon is beinsr made over
slow in starting the building up
ways .
But j she started right, and has proceeded along the right
lines, up' to the present time,"and any swerving from the con
structive program now or' at any time in the future is unthink
able.; This writer believes the system will persist, because it is
a sound system.
v Oregon's paved road building system is the best in the world
because it rests'upon money received front license taxes paid on
vehicles using traction other than horse power, and upon gaso
line and. distillate taxes. These taxes will retire all the bonds
and finallyjpay for all the paved highways and for extending
mem ana Keeping tnem in repair
That is,- the users payj excepting the users who employ
horses only, , - . '. -
There will never be a direct tax; though the taxing power
of the sfate is behind the bonds issued for the greater part of
the money so far expendd by the commonwealth in the con
struction of the highways.
The limit of the bonding power of the Rtate, under constitu
tional sanction, has been almost reached. Hut the federal funds
will. still be available, if they can be matched by state funds,
and some way must be devised to retain the great advantages
of thesq expenditures by the federal goyernmnt
'Amounting to perhaps $10,000,000 in the next five years.
The increased and increasing automotive license funds and
gasoline and distillate tax money are helping and will help; but
the Oregon State" Highway Commission ought to have authority
to reissue serial bonds as they are paid off, if necessary to pro
vide Jundsy at.least;to. a sufficient extent to match the federal
funds; and besides to keep, construction Work going on the most

h me users 01 me nignways, auuusi iu a man, are icauv aim
will)g toi be charged with the expenses of such a "program. They
want the. important extensions to proceed without interruption,
and the repairs to be kept up.
- -Every Oregonian who is worth while is proud of our state
especially IrT 'tn'e fceople of Marion county proud of
their paved market roads,-in the building of which they are
ahead of all the counties on this coast, if not of the whole coun
try j in extent of mileage ;J in cheapness and thoroughness of
construction; inlhe program for the future. Marion county will
finally have alt of. her- main roads paved. It will take some
time a long time ; but that day is coming. This is going to be
one ;ot the influences that will make Marion county finally the
richest county in the.United States outside the limits of a great
city; will help o make the Salem district .the richest agricul
tural district in the entire world. . .

letter in the most prominent place
In the' paper, without any com
ments to detract from it or to di
vert the public attention from the
matter therein contained. The
letter is too long to publish in full
He says in brief:
"I have been noticing that those
who have invested In stocks and
bonds' who were in politics" have
been dealt with rather severely.
want to make a complete confes
sion so that when my campaign
for constable commences, I will
be able to point the finger of scorn
back at my detractors and tell
them I confessed first. A few
months ago a number of us bloods
banded together and put $10 "into
a Portland bucket shop. I have,
since learned that there is no bot
tom to these buckets. They never
get anjwhere. "Certain it Is that
what we put in was never found.
We lost our $10.""
"I notice in the case of Walter
Tooze, Jr., you virtually say, by
his . confession of guilt he has
openfd the road to come back. If
that Is true, I want to know ex
actly where the road Is located,
and if it runs through my town
ship. I want to walk on it a few
rods. I am confessing everything,
although it is humiliating, and I
must get the copy of the paper be
fore my wife does, -or there will be
more hell to the square inch in
my neighborhood than anywhere
else around, for a few.. minutes.
But I do not blaraeVher half so
much as I blame myself.-- 1 really
expected to double, my money, and
I expected to buy'her a new dress
with the dollar I put in, and the
dollar I made. The dollar ! put
n was really hers anyway, becanse
I got it by selling eggs I carried
to town for her, but -the dollar 1
made would be mine. However,
we lost both dollars and. I am as
one without hope, except that this
confession will enable me to make
my - campaign , with enthusiasm
and greater chances- or success.
And further, this deponent saith
not." - -, " ' . : ,
OXE-THIRD TO SCHOOLS
The other day the Portland pa-
persjpublished the" Multnomah tax
llftTffi Onft.tMrrt , wftntf ,fhnoljanl,
Some of these days the school lev
lea will be challenged and brought
to public attention. Up to this
time the school men have been
able to ward 'off all attacks by in
dicting criticism as enmity to the
school system and an injustice to
youth. Of course, there will be a
limit to this.
No man in Oregon with red
blood in his veins wants the
schools slighted in the least, but
there is a belief extant that be
cause of a prevading public senti
ment, criticism must not be levied
at any school appropriations. This
puts toe great a temptation before
the school men. They ought to
account for their money the same
as any other public taxing body.
They ought not to be skipped,
but on the other hand, school taxes
have gone up faster and higher
than any other taxes in the state.
A patriotic citizen has a, right to
challenge any taxing proposition,
not as an enemy, but as a friend of
economical government. . There is
no disposition to retard the schools
there is every intention to give
them money enough, but it is
their responsibility to the taxpayer
to account for the expenditure of
every cent just the same as a road
levy.
CREDIT AXI PRICES
The chances are the McXary bill
will be defeated because a hard
fight is being put up on it. The
farmers are not agreed. Some of
them want an extension of credit,
declaring they can work them
selves out. Others want prices
artificially inflated, so they can
pay out with their present crops.
Contention between the two- has
given an opportunity for people
not interested in farming to agi
tate against the proposition. The
Norbeck bill has already been
killed and the McXary bill is now
marked for slaughter.
The farmers need both exten
sion of credit and better prices.
They cannot hope to dig out in one
year, but they ought to be helped
so they can start on the road to
complete solvency and work out
their own salvation under the eco
nomic laws of the country.
They must have something done
to save a lot of bankruptcy.
STILL PLAYING POLITICS
Senator Walsh has telegraphed
the democratic state convention in
Montana that he was continuing
to fight for hisiarty.
Exactly.
Senator Walsh has been making
a partisan fight. The public be
lieved in him at first. He was in
earnest, and he uncovered consid
erable rascality, but now he. has
developed into a head hunter for
his party. As a result Fall is lost
sight of. It is ti e to get back to
fundamentals. It is time to call
off the investigation, or put it on
higher ground.
DICKERING WITH THE
GOV-
ERXMENT
Grover Cleveland Bergdoll is
trying to negotiate with the gov
ernment to compromise his slacker
conduct during the war. Grover
C. has certainly been terribly pun
ished. He has been held up to
scorn all over America and yet it
would not be fair to the patriotic
men of the country to compromise
his crime. That is considered un
moral, of course, and he. was the
arch offender in his class of crim
inals. Grover C. should certainly
serve his sentence.
BORAH'S WARNING
A more timely warning than
that issued by Senator Borah
would be hard to find. He has ap
pealed to congress to forget its
petty bickerings, to forget its ma
licious maneuvers and remember
that every member is there for a
definite purpose and not a single
member ia carrying out the pur
pose of his public service.
More than three months of con
gress have gone and not a piece of
general legislation has been enact
ed. The republicans hare the ma
jority, but they are unable to use
it.
The remedy?
- A return to the old Czar Reeds,
rale. There is no other-way.
Representative Hawley
Files His Candidacy
Representative C. W. Hawley,
who has represented the first Ore
gon district in congress tor 18
years, late yesterday filed as a
candidate for the republican nom
ination to succeed himself. His
slogan is the one he has used in
his campaigns for many years, "No
Interests to serve but the public
interests."
Mr. Hawley's home is in Salem.
He has defeated many opponents,
and sometimes has been without
opposition. This time he has as
an opponent Peter Zimmerman of
Yamhill, who is running on a Non
partisan platform, . .

CHAPTER 130
THE WAY MADGE STOLE A
MARCH ON DICKY
If I had struck Dicky a vicious
blow in the face I don't believe I
could have more effectively ban
ished the dancing laughter from
his face and eyes than I did by
my icy rejoinder to his banter
concerning my projected journey
to bring Katie back.
The better part of my nature
urged me to cry out an apology
for my hasty words, but the mem
ory of the unjust criticism of me
Dicky had uttered at the time of
his mother's accident chilled any
generous itppulse toward him, and
made me instead wickedly rejoice
In the anger I saw leap to his
face.
"If I had such a case of ingrow
ing ego as affects you," he snarled,
I'll be blistered if I wouldn't go
and jump into the bay to get rid
of it- I don't believe there's any
thing in the world could happen
awful enough to make you forget
your own feelings. You're always
running around with a tape-mea
sure and a measuring spoon try
ing to see whether you get your
just meed of praise and Considera
tion. Mother gets a , fall, that
might have put her out of business
for all time, and because in my
excitement I let drop a word or
two that isn't sufficiently lauda
tory, you immediately depart for
the polar regions, and throw up
an ice barrage. I should think
you'd "
Dicky Is Angry.
"Pardon me,"
I Interrupted,
with a frigidity that justified the
statement he had just made, "but
I have a good deal to do before
can start after Katie, so I wish
you would give me some idea of
how long you mean this lecture to
last. I am, of course, desirous of
listening as long as I can, but "
"Oh. go to the devil!" Dicky
snarled and flung himself out of
the room angrily, while with the
perversity which only a woman
knows, I first laughed with mali
cious glee at the success of my
baiting, then felt my eyes fill with
tears of regret at my mean little
folly.
That I had succeeded in thor
oughly angering him I realized as
the evening wore away or rather
galloped away while I made my
preparations for the earliest pos
sible start the next day, although
there was little to do but watch
her, for exhausted by her ordeal
she slept, though fitfully, through
the entire night. But he spoke
no word to me boyond the barest
necessity of speech, nor did I try
to placate him. There was no
use, I felt, in making any effort
to do so, for when Dicky is an
gered it usually takes him hours
to get over it, and, to tell the
truth, .1 was so busy and so wor
ried that I had neither the time
nor the inclination to attempt to
change nis attitude. Ail my
thoughts were centered upon my
coming excursion with its chances
of success, so overwhelmingly
against me.
"Stop the Car!"
One by one the Items on the list
of things that must be adjusted
before leaving were crossed off.
Mrs. Ticer, hurriedly summoned,
announced her perfect willingness
to transfer Jerry, the redoubtable
Sam and herself to our menage
until I returned- Marion was in
the seventh heaven of delight at
being entrusted with the care of
Junior, and I knew that never
young monarch would have so de
voted a slave, knew, also, that Lil
lian's loving supervision would be
always over the child. That Moth
er Graham was safe in the care of
those same capable hands, while
Dicky's more or less erratic at
tempts to help would also be made
of use by Lillian I also knew. So,
at last, the -final detail completed
and with small bag packed for my
journey I lay down to a few hours
sleep before time to go to the
train.
I intended to drive my own car
tcuthe train, taking Jerry Ticer
with me to drive it back. But
when I rose from the substantial
breakfast which Mrs. Ticer had
prepared, and went out on the
veranda, I found Dicky's car, with
Dicky himself at the wheel-, stand
ing by the steps. He was frown-;
ing, and the tonneau door was
open. Indicating that h did-, not
Intend me to ride on the seat with,
him, bo that I knew he was stQl
angry. But my heart leaped at
the knowledge that Dicky would
not permit me to go to the sta
tion without him.
With conjugal clairvoyance I al
so knew that he was "as anxious
as I to make up, but that his pride
had compromised with his tender
ness in the leaving ot the Vonneau
door' open. With the eyes of ttrer

nto the tonneau, and prepare to
get in myself.
"Hurry!" Dicky commanded
curtly.
I obeyed him, and the machine
had leaped forward before I had
closed the door. I knew that he
had mistaken the time, and I
guessed that Jie had done so inten
tionally that he might have an ex
cuse for not alighting and helping
me into the car, his invariable
courteousness custom- But I held
no rancor for this, and I determin
ed that even if I missed that first
train I would not let our quarrel
stand a second longer than neces
sary. So as soon as we were well
out of sight of the house I utter
ed a little exclamation as of dis
may. "Stop the car, Dicky!" I exclaim
ed. "I dropped my glove."
He obeyed, but did not turn
around. So I clambered out of
the tonneau. then with a qaick
movement swung open the front
door, climbed in beside him, reach
ed past him, and turned off the
ignition switch, smiling with
meanisgful saucy tenderness at
him 's I did so.

Betty Sue heard the rattle of the
little old wagon of the rural free
deliveryman on the bridge in the

gravure sheet and studied it as
with slow steps she made her way
back to the kitchen door. Sud
denly she stopped altogether, look,-
lng at the picture of a beautiful
woman who smiled back from the
page at her. Breaking into a run,
Betty Sue threw hereslf inside the

in the paper today!"
'Why it's that darling rich wo
man who was down here last sum

amazement "And mother let her
board with us for a week. Who'd
have guessed we had a real lady in
our tumbledown old farmhouse?"
"Don't you remember, she said
she wanted to. hide from society
for a while because she was tired
of it," supplied -Betty' Sue. "And
here she Is, just like she used to
look, only she has on a spangly
dress instead of hiking clothes. It

of old, "All of which I saw and
part of which I was." And he was
and is a large part of the program
of efficiency and economy. And
he has not held himself too proud
to learn and improve, either.

D. C, and my gang , used to have
races with these contraptions and
which I call gazish flyers. They
can go pretty fast and are easy to
make. I think some of you might
like to try making one. ,.
The drawing today shows all
the things you need to make the
flyer. The handle bar should be.
eight inches wider than thesbap
box four inches projecting on
each 6hfe--and the other tw5 di
mensions should be 2 Inches by 2
inches.
Take an old roller skate for;
your skate wheels One front!
truck and one rear truck. These
wilt be fastened on the 2 by 4 by 4
inch plank, as shown tomorrow.
It is not necessary to finish any1
of these pieces of the flyer rery
smoothly, except the. handlebar.
Get the parts ready so you can,
build the gazlsh flyer tomorrow.'
It will take only about 20 minutes
to put it together if you have the,
parts ready, . . ;
