Editorial Symposium ,
THE reaction of the newspapers of the state to a?3.00
auto license fee cannot be said to be very enthusiastic.
The Salem newspapers are the only ones which come out
definitely in favor of a sharp reduction in the annual as
, sessment levied on passenger cars. Some of the papers are
frankly opposed to the suggestion, others want to look the
, gift horse in the face, others are a bit resigned in expecta-
tion that the proposal if it gets-on the ballot will carry with
a whoop. This is true: the recommendation -coming from the
secretary of state has created a world of interest and.has
"rivaled Smedley Butler and Gov. Meier for front page news
and editorial attention. : v
The upstate press I quickest to come out with an ex-.
pression of opinion. This is Because ine wguwaya
very vitally the county seat towns and cities; also because
the newspapers in these towns usually work rather closely
to the county courts. Now the county courU are lining up
against the cut-rate licenses because the counties get a
third of the revenues. The courts have been spendLng mil
lions in county road work, a considerable part pf which
- comes from the rebate of the license money. So the courts
rebel against any curtailment nn their revenues. There are
some counties with road bonds outstanding whose debt ser
vice is met in part at least by the license money; and these
counties are wondering where they will get off if the license
money stream is cut to a small trickle. !
i , the Bend Bulletin, whose ditor, R. W. Sawyer, is a
f former member of the commission and who has long been
deeply interested in highway building, takes a definite stand
against any reductions, writing thus: .'', j
V "By and large the public is satisfied -with, the present license
and gas tax arrangement. Let's leave It alone, let the Income con
tinue, meet our cooperative requirements,' carry on the work
and FINISH THE SYSTEM." - , J' ;
. Frank Jenkins in the Roseburg News-Review is worried
about the state road bonds, fearing the reduction in license
revenues will throw the load on property, adding: "Real
estate is carrying about all the load it can stand, right now."
"All is not gold that glitters," quotes the Astorian
Budget which finds that although-Washington and Califor
nia have the flat $3.00 fee, both those states put cars on the
personal property tax roll which Oregon does not. It also
says: "This is the logical time for speeding up the highway
program, sincethere are many who need jobs and the costs
are lower than'for years." I . .
The Oregon City Enterprise Is a bit plaintive when it
' says: - - - I "
"But on the other hand we are spending per capita, on our
roads more than any other state in the union, and the exig
encies of the times must be expected to make Itself felt in
road taxes as well as all others. It is bound to come, regretful
as that may be, but why make it so drastic? Something like a
fifty per cent reduction from the present fee would be of ma
terial relief to the car owner and would not so seriously affect
the progress of road construction." - i
The Oresronian analyzes the problem presented in 1, 2 a,
bJ, c order and concludes we
all construction work for the
revenues which would be less desirable than the high li
cense on cars. . I
The Gazette-Times at Corvallis which fought the By
lander bill of three years ago is a bit dazed to have deser
tion from those within the household of faith, but calls for
all the facts and suggests that the public withhold judg-
! roent until the arguments for and against are threshed out.
The Albany Democrat-Herald with its gaze fixed on
' the unfinished Santiam declares that "cold logic leads us
to believe the Hoss plan is not sound. It will slow up con
struction work on our highways at a time when it should
offer work for the unemployed." It fears the $30,000,000
bond debt will be saddled onto the farms and homes and the
counties will be hobbled in their road programs, t
They are good! spenders over at Klamath Falls and with
many roads still on the want list, there, the Herald jumps
all over the Hoss recommendation. Not so much as a farth
ing would it cut the license fees : "Let the automobile li
cense rate remain where it is. Let Oregon's splendid high
way program remain undisturbed." j ,
This is a fair cross-section of the editorial comment of
the daily press of. the state. Most of the papers ignore one
important factor: the time element. It is not proposed that
the reduction would be effected immediately, not until 1933.
In that period the primary road program will have been
completed. Moreover the secular trend of gas j consumption
is upward, so that in two more years the revenues from gas
taxes should be considerably higher than at present.
. We do not think Secretary Hoss is dogmatic about the
rate, merely endorsing a drastic reduction. That at least is
the position which The Statesman takes. We are convinced
that such a slash is timely, that it will stimulate auto sales,
increase travel, will not endanger the state road debt ser
vice, will not unduly curtail the new construction needed on
state" highways. Facts and
time to time, because this

USE LESS SUGAR
Most studies of the average
American diet reveals the f aet
that there is a proportionate over

these are valuable foods from
many angles they should not be
taken to jhe exclusion of the

Over indulgences in these foods

Dedication ot mission sitet
It is planned to have the Jason
Leo mission alto ready tor dedi
cation by Jons 18; that Is, by tao
anniversary of the date of the
ratification ot the international
boundary agreement,
This anniversary marks the
85 th year from that June day ot
1846, and the S7th year since the
day in June, 1834, when Jasoa
Lee stepped over the Rocky moan
tains.
V
The Oregon country will thus.
June IB, as American territory-, be
85 years old, and It will be 91
years old in the lneeptlon of the
Influences that brought abont the
event of IS years later.
S S
The old mission site last year
became the property of Willam
ette university, in trust for the
people of the state of Oregon,
through a deed from the heirs of
Hon. A. M. LaFollett, The sur
vev tor the description in the deed
was made by W. J. Culrer, county
engineer, a few days beiore ne
died. It calls for fire acres ot
upland; -considerable more along
the shore line of the old Willam
ette river, on which the mission
was located.
Besides this acreage, the deed
gave a right of way from the
south side of the site to the
county road, and that road was
dedicated. ' It Is now a public
highway.
: This road, leading Into the site
from near the front yard of the
old A. M. LaFollett house (the
big red house) is about 2378
feet long; less than a halt mile. It
runs west about 1848 feet, thence
northerly about 528 feet.
S W
"It Is advisable, for two or three
weeks, to defer your visit to the
spot, until the fencing is finished.
and some work on the road done,
and the plate placed on the big
rock that win serve zor a marker.
Also, the county la making of
this highway, leading, from the
end of the paTement on the river
road, a county market road, and
the work being done will interfere
with the free passage of travel.
S
Some of the leading people of
Ealem last fall made up a fund for
the fencing of the tract and the
right ot way and the main part of
the work was done then. It is
now to be finished. Including the
right of way. : There will then be
no gates the whole site, includ
ing the road, will belong to the
public. .
m S
It la likely that the Willamette
university trustees will hold dedi
catory services this year; probab
ly on the afternoon of June 16,
which will be Monday.
Thla suggests that the annual
pioneer picnic might appropriately
be held at the old mission site this
year, either on Sunday or Monday,
June 14 or 15. In the old days
this celebration was always on the
15th. international boundary set
tlement day, unless it tell on a
Sunday, when It was held on Mon
day. - -
V
This suggests another thing.
At the Junction of the highway
and the mission site road, there Is
a splendid opening for a roadside
store, filling station, etc. bearing
a Mission name, or it migm oe
located near the point where the
new publie road enters the mis
sion site.
a b .
It should specialise In mission
articles, souvenirs, etc., and In
giving reliable Information to
tourists who wUl in the days to
come make pilgrimages to this
historic shrine. A man with the
right sort of a background, or
who would acquire it, could make
himself singularly useful, besides
reaping rewards so substantial as
not by any means to do aespisea.
This station or store, or both.
would have to be at some point
outside the enclosure for the

versity from engaging la business

tant said! . "The married woman

The big rock that Is to receive
the tablet was hauled onto the
site last fall, from the Shaw dis
trict. It Is located at abont the
site of the first log house ot the
old mission, erected after Oct. 8
1834.
V j "a
Also, near what was likely the
granary, with a cellar for the
storage of potatoes and other
things. That one of the first
buildings (probably the granary)
naa a ceuar is well authenticated
for In it were stored, after the
harvest of 1835. 250 bushels of
potatoes, besides - wheat, oats.
peas, etc., etc.
And the cellar hole Is there yet:
a part ot its space taken up with
a large, tall ash tree that has
grown there in the past three-
quarter of a century.
m m I'm
It is known, also that there was
a granary, fromthe official re
cord or the meetings in which the
constitution of the provisional
government was written. Most of
these meetings were held in the
mission granary, in May and
June, 1843; though at least the
last one, that of June 28, where
tne final touches were: given, and
which was an adjourned session
from the day before, was held in
tne mission hospital, located sev
eral hundred yards east of the
granary.
k V
Some day, the big rock marker
win give way to a suitable monn
ment, and in time the old mission
site will be considered the most
important historic shrine on this
coast. It will call troops of pil
grims running into uncounted mil
lions. '

whom no record can be found.
Mrs. Lorrimer persuades Mary

CHAPTER
-Mary Lou drank her milk and
lay back relaxed - In her chair,
her eyes on the small, bright
fire, far back on the great stone
hearth. She was healthily tired;
she was happy. They'd had a
glorious ride, she and Lorry; she
waa Improving. She would make
aa- expert horsewoman ; some
day. he had said, tor her hands
were firm on the reins,, she had
a - naturally good seat and ahe
was quite fearless. Ho had
praised her today more tha
ever, and ahe was coming to de
pend apoa his praise. And it waa
doing him ao much good.
"That's what I'm hone for,'
she reminded herself. She had to
remind herself. She waa growing
into her vole, it had become part ;
ot her. She would have frowned
la suddea astonishment if anyone
had called her Mary 'Loa. She
had been Mary Lou years ago. in
another life. Now she was-De-
light.
Second Xatore
At first she had worked hard
in her part, now it was second
nature to her. Understanding in
stinctively where a great deal of
the trouble lay, she had set about
eradicating it as much as possi
ble. She had made him talk
about the war, about his days at
the front, about his service. He
waa v aa wau wavvi aaaw uwu
with a curious horror of air
planes. New and then one passed,
over the house and even lately,!
stronger though his nerves bad
become, it affected him unpleas
antly, set- him ' to shaking, to
stammering a little. If she could
n iL
ces, to drag out into the sunlight
get him to talk out his experlen-
the things that ate at him and
festered in. the darkness, it
would- help. Later, if she could
interest him in aviation, get him
pernaps to take a night, as a
passenger, muchof the shock re
action would depart, thought
Mary Lou, wisely. But that
would come in time.
She made him, too. tell her
about his prison camp experlen
cea and she then set him and her
self a task, brushing up the little
German each possessed in order
to read, at first hand in the. orig
inal, some of the wise and mov
ing books that had come out of
post-war Germany, books with
out bitterness or malice, emana
tions of the war from the other
side. If he could, she thought.
