A SONG CI' HARVEST.
I.
We're slngin' a song of harvest
by echoing vales an'
streams.
For now we're reapin' the money
we saw in out' gftden
dreams:
II.
.ingin- a song of harvest; The
hills an" the valleys "sins,
An' the bolls of j"y are sliakin

III.
BKst be the sons of harvest:
With ample tables spread
We're singin' a song of thank
fulness to the fields that
gave us bread'.

stitutional provision authorizing the
counties to pledge their credit for
construction of permanent roads.
"Third Providing for the labor ot
l nitentlary convicts upon the public
roads.
"Fourth Providing- for the labor
.f county and city convicts upon the
;ub!ie roads.
"Fifth Providing for state aid for
permanent road construction."
Apparently the only differences of
opinion within the committee arose
over the proposition of state aid.
Representatives of the grange made
known their opposition to the appro
priation of state money for road pur
poses while the Multnomah county
men urged the state aid policy.
It is much the same division that
ensued while the subject of good
roads was under consideration by the
last legislature. . At that time the
Multnomah delegation stood stead
fastly by the state aid plan and sought
to show the unselfishness of their
course by citing that while Multno
mah county Itself would get little If
anything at all from the state fund
Multnomah county would be requir
ed to provide one third of all the
money in the state aid fund. But
the grange element in general manl-
jftsted a decided suspicion with ref-
! crence to state aid.
I
From a local standpoint the county
; bonding provision seems to be of chief
j interest. With the county bonding
law in force Umatilla county will be
j able to secure gooj roads if the peo
ple want them The question of state
aid is not of vital importance here,
tor under a state aid law such as was
proposed at the last session Umatilla
crurty could neither gain nor lose
very much.
From a general standpoint the chief
need in Oregon at th time is for the
people to get together on some fairly
equitable plan for permanent road
building. Good roads are needed and
the only way to get them is to con
struct them.
It anybody is making war on you;
and, when you hear any man talking
loosely, ask him precisely what dam
age to his trade has been done by
anybody? Such direct and wholly
honest consideration by every man of
his own position would very quickly
dispel such fear as exists."
Most of the "war on business" wag
ed at present is directed against mo
nopolistic aggregations that have been
enriching themselves at the expense
of smaller business men and the con
suming public. -War against such ag
gregations is war in behalf of those
upon whom they prey. The country
as a whole will gain by such warfare.

FOR IlETTER ROADS.
At a session of the good roads com
mittee named by the governor a
general plan of action has been ad
apted and the following legislative
measures will be asked for:
First Providing for the appoint
ment of a state highway department
commissioner who shall be thoroughly
jkilled in all forms of scientific road
tonstruction.
"Second Providing a practical
method whereby the people may avail
themselves of the benefit of the con-
"W.VR ON BUSINESS."
The World's Work hits the nail on
the head with the following paragraph
regarding those who howl about "war
on business."
"Loose talk about a 'war on busi
ness' does more harm than any war
that Is waged. If great "Combina
tions like the Standard Oil company
and the American Tobacco company
are punished for violations of the
anti-trust law, what harm has that
done to your business? Ask yourself
Pert pnragraphers have long
sought to portray the small boy's
aversion to reentering school in the
fall and. In the minds of many Jimmy
Jones and Sammy Small would rather
chase down to the swimming hole
than follow the path of learning.
All of this may be true yet at Los
Angeles over 100 boys and girls re
mained all night long on the steps and
rotunda of the polytechnic high
-chool so as to be the first to enroll
Oi, Monday morning. It was feared
the school would be unable to ac
commodate all the pupils and many
came the nisht before so as to be
sure of enrollment. They formed in
line in front of the doors Sunday af
ternoon and in the evening the par
ents brought supper and blankets so i..lust(M condition of both the Uus
that they would not lose their places, sian and Japanese armies.

ONE WAY ONLY.
Colonel John H. Carroll, says "the
Saturday Evening Post," the Burling
ton railroad lawyer, was In Washing
ton last dinter, and, needing the ser
v'ces of a man to travel with him in
his private car, hired a good-looking
and well-recommended young fellow
from Virginia whom he happened to
meet.
The' man's name was Gilbert and
he never had been on a raiload train
home to Washington. He traveled
except to come up from his Virginia
with the Colonel back and forth be
tween Washington and New York,
new York and Chicago, and Chicago
and St. Louis, and rode a good deal
on the observation end of the car.
All the roads the car went over were
two-track or four-tack roads.
Not long ago the Colonel had his
car switched off on a side-track road
in olilo ruding the night. When Col
onel Caroll awoke in the morning
and went out to the observation end
of the car, he found Gilbert content- '
plating the single track with much
