Rockefeller, Jr., is visiting Oregon, showing Mrs. Rockefeller and the three youngest of their five boy? "the country: (They have also a married daughter.) In a con versation with a Portland newspaper reporter Mr. Rockefeller spoke to' High praise of Oregon's road system But he suggested that the state must be bonding itself heavily for these highways, and that, while the rights of way and the, grades for these highways are, of course, permanent improvements, which future generations as well as the! pres ent 'citizens of Oregon will enjoy, the heavy bonding raises the question of whether we are being entirely fair tb our children ( The newspaper reporter should have told Mr. Rockefeller that, though Qregon issued bonds in large amounts for money to' build her; paved highways quickly, not , one cent -has been assessed to Oregon property That the automobile licenses and gasoline taxes! have paid for everything and are paying the interest on the bonds, and retiring the bonds, which were all issued serially And that the peak load will come next year, after w,hich there will each year be less money to pay on bond interest and principal, and more' to spend on new construction. - j i So Oregon is literally not only now.'paylng as she goes' for her niate highways and their repairs, but is adding to her mileage without issuing more bonds. ' I - ' J VThere are many Oregon people who believe some of the load ought to be passed on to future generations : Afjeast the cost of ;the; rights of way. and grading and thQiMflges- .. ; y I reissuing some of the 'serial bonds .?-'' 1 fThati in fact, we are being too fair to our children instead of Tiot 'being entirely fair, as feared by Mr. Rockefeller; :m?s-''' - v - AN ARTISTS VIEW Fkjdor Chaliaoin. world-renowned Russian basso, i must createp: witn political as wen as musical sense, m a re- cent radio address to his fellow countrymen who are sthiggl- ing under, the Soviet government, he said: .

Hofer & Sons, Salem, sends out the following, which Js sane and sensible: ' : . ' r k "The next Oregon legislature will consider a bill exempt- ing yoiing, growing timber from annual taxation 'until it Teaches the. crop-harvest stage; the fyieldtheh is .taxed as a product. Under the coast climatic conditions, a crop of timber lhay mature in from 40 to 80 years; for somje" pur poses tnere would be considerable yield in thinning, iii from -20 to 40 years. Most of the nation's timberlahd is in private handsf Private growers must grow the forests in the f uture, if tfiey are to be grown at all. Manifestly, they are few who are able or willing, to pay annual taxes on forest lands that will ptoduce no crop for almost a century; a tax exemption mustbe made as a' protection for the.f uture, and for even the present; in saving raiersheds and shade and health by means jpf rees J;rA good forest-tax laVfill fce anational boon."

Mr. MolUns was in one of bis quiet moods; the thought ot reaching New York seemed to depress him. as It did Sylrla. "Well its b'rer." he said. &az ins Into the swirl of njist'ahead. -iew io now; and sinsny. dirty streets, and a tot of bedraggled people' buying Christmas presents they can't afford. I wish we were back in New Orleans again.' Then his whimsical smile ; broke through the gloom which shroud ed his face. "Next time we'll take a longer trip weeks months lou're the loveliest 'person to travel with I've ever pnetl How about going to India some time China? Great,, don't yon think?" "I'd love it," Sylvia whispered. It's bees such fun." i 'H-vt)"' Mr. Collins pressed her ana with his. "We'll have to see aboujt that. How long are you go ing to be in New York?' ' "Not very long," Sylvia told Mm rather faintly. She had care fully avoided all 'references to her future movements. "I want to spend Christmas with my people my father and sister." "Yes. I've got to do that, too. Mother and the girls always have a fit if I'm away during the holi days. After that, I'll be up to see you. And look here you haven't told We where you live." "It isn't far from New York. I'll giva..yQ,u the address In the moriting' Sylvia's troubles came back to her with a rush. She felt like an . impositer, who had lived for five days under false tenses. Mr. Holins did not pursue the matter. He seemed fully occupied with his own thoughts. But Sylvia knew that, like Cinderella, she would have to rush off home be fore the clock struck twelve and the hour was yery close at hand. Some spirit ot restlessness kept them on deck after dinner, long after the other "pasengers had sought the comfort of the library, the smoking room. It had grown very cold, and finally, after watch ing the grey-black waves .sweep endlesly by for an hour, they gave up the breasting wind, and took refuge behind a corner of the deck, house, where a couple of chairs had been placed. Mr. . Hollins tucked Syvlla up ia a i steamer rug, tried to light a cigarette, but the eddying currents otjrind iaffled him. Suddenly he tossed the cigarette over the rail and leAning toward Sylvia slipped his arm about her and drew her bead upon his shoulder. Sylvia was taken completely .by surprise, but she had learned by now that 3ifr. Hollins was a very surprising young man, wno invariably aid things in most unexpected ways. She remembered the unconven tional manner of their first meet ing. "Its silly, dear," he said earn estly, "to tell you that I love you. You know it. We both know it. love you, and I want you -al ways. Mary, dear, you re going to marry me." Without waiting for a word of reply he bent down and kissed her, not savagely, ruthless ly, in a gust of passion, but with vast tenderness as though sealing some very wonderful compact. Sylvia had been kissed before the last time by Sydney Harmon. The memory of his bruising, alco holic kisses was with her yet, they had left her cold, resentful, filled wUh disgust and loathing. Mr. Hollins' kiss, on the contrary, seemed infinitely sweet,, set her blood to dancing joyously as though her whole being had sud denly,, been swept by a clear. .bri&bJL flame. For a moment their lips clung, and to Sylvia it seemed the most wonderful moment of her life. She was sorry when Steve released her, 4lrew back. "Wellt' he said, smiling down at her in his quiet whimsical way. "That's that." For an instant a very brief in stant Sylvia's happiness lay in her. hands like some beautiful fairy bubble, glowing with all the colors of the rainbow. Then, at the touch of grey reality it van ished, and in its place she saw a question mark, black, menacing. Marry him? How could she do that without first telling him who she was? There was no hope of concealment, even had she wished to conceal what had happened to her. .In a few days a few webks t the most be would find out. The mother, the sisters with whom he lived would soon see to that. And on the other hand, how could she confess to him that she was Sylvia Thome, the picture actresa, notorious now from coast to coast as one of the principal figures In the lastest Hollywood scandal? That terrible Thorne glrll Dragged from her position n the screen world because decent people were unwilling to see her in pictures. Of course she might ex plain might tell him the truth about that dreadful sight but would he . believe It? i She knew very well what .the- answer wasi to. that. No there was nothing she could do now, sTo accept him. under false : pretenses, ; would b J i i .I , .f unthinkable. To attempt to justify herself, without proof,, would be madness. Womanlike she sought to temporize. . "Are yon sure you want me. Steve?" she said with a queer nervous laugh. "We've . only known each other for five days : "Five days five' years what does it matter? The whole -ques tion, Mary , dear, is whether you love me. As far as I'm concerned you're the only woman in the world." ... . Did she love hies? Sylvia had .found the answer to that when 'he kissed her. Yet her lips were sealed. "I can't tell you tonight, Steve," sae said slowly. "rot tonight. You you'll have to give me time to think it over." It was the usual excuse of the woman wish ing to magnify the importance of her surrender of herself by not yielding too .quickly and Sylvia hated it. Left to herself she would have thrown her arms about his neck and promised to marry him the moment he could get a license. But she was to honest tq deceive him rtoo sensible to suppose that her secret could be kept, ven had she been willing to try to keep it All she could do now was to put off the evil hour, give herself a little more time in which to think things over, decide what was best to do. , "Why, of course, dear if you feel that way about it," she heard Steye saying and it seemed tb her there was a trace of disappoint ment in his voice. "You see, I was so certain about the way you felt that I well I took a charic Conceited, I guess. But you do love me, Mary dear. I know it Tell me that you do." His lips were very close, very tempting and Sylvia suddenly found herself powerless. "Oh, Steve of course I do' she whispered, and surrendered herself to his arms. It was after that kiss. whicU left Sylvia breathless, that he again spoke of the future. "If you care for me like that "he said triumphantly, "noth ing makes any difference." "Oh, but it does, Steva. There are things I've got to consider things you don't know anything about." "Another man?" he asked quickly. Sylvia thought of Howard Ben nett. to whom she was more than half engaged. He might afford a simple solution of- her problem But as quickly as the idea came to her she discarded it. She knew now that she did not love Howard had never loved him, or anyono, in fact, until she met Stephen Hol lins. "No not another man, she told him. "There Isn't anyone else I II tell you tomorrow when we land." She shivered at the thought of it, and Stephen, noticing it. rose. "You're cold," he said. "And it's getting late. You'd best turn in, now. I've, bad all the happiness can stand for one night." He reached down and taking her two hands drew her from the "chalf and into his arms. Sylvia, in the sweet madness of that goodnight kiss, felt as though her heart would break, between happiness and despair. To be continued.) Copricht 1925, FrMericJt Arnold Kura- mer.
