THE COUNTY BONDING LAW. rc N view of the fact a road 11 Droeram may be submit ted here under which the county bonding act will be brought into use it is timely to know the exact provisions of the law. The law was enacted by the 1913 legislature and its main provisions are as follows: A county bond issue must be limited to two per cent of the assessed valuation in the coun ty at the time the bonds are is sued. In Umatilla county at present the assessment is slight ly over $49,000,000. Hence the limit to which this county may bond for road work is in round figures $980,000. The bonds may not draw a higher rate of interest than six per cent and bonds may be sold by the county court as the monev is needed. If a bond is sue is voted by the people it is not necessary to sell the entire issue at once and thus have money on hand that may not be immediately needed. Beginning with the fourth year after tne bonds are sold the county court shall proceed to set aside for a sinking fund a sufficient sum of money each year to retire the bonds when they mature. The money with which to pay the interest on the bonds and to provide the sinking fund is raised by a general tax upon all the taxable property within the county. This includes towns that are ordinarily ex empt from payment of road taxes. If this county should be bonded to the limit for road purposes the annual interest charge at six per cent would be $58,800 a year to raise which would require a tax of one and one-fourth mills. The tax necessary to provide the sinking fund would be depend ent upon the length of time the bonds were to run and upon the sum that could be earned in interest by the sinking fund money. The people may submit the bonding proposition to the vot ers under the initiative and if a requisite petition is presented to the county court the court must order a special election to be held in not less than 20 nor more than 40 days. To se cure a special election it is ne cessary to submit a petition signed by not less than one fourth the number of votes cast for anv nerson for judge of the supreme court at the preceding election. Through a petition signed by one-tenth of the number of votes cast for a supreme judge the county court may be in structed to submit a bonding proposition at the next general lection. The county court has power at any time to submit a bonding proposition to the peo ple ;.t a general election, but not at a special election save by a petition as described above. The law specifies that road work done through use of bond money shall be under the ex clusive control of the county court. The order for the bond ing proposal on which the peo ple are to vote must set forth the location of the roads to be improved, the beginning and terminus of each road, the min imum amount to be expended upon each road, the rate of in terest the bonds shall bear and the time they shall run. All the registered voters of the county are qualified to vote at a bonding election and it re quires a majority of those vot ing to carry the proposal. - EXPORTS TO GERMANY. pfACTS recently made pub j lie by the department of commerce throw light on the havoc the war has played with American commerce with Germany and incidentally up on why some lines of business in this country are depressed for the time being. For the first seven months of the present fiscal year the United States exports to Ger many aggregated only $23, 1656,945 whereas for the same months a year ago our exports to Germany amounted to $238, 197,121. In other words our exports to Germany during the last seven months have been only one-tenth the normal bus iness. There is a bright lining to the cloud, however, in the fact that when the war is over Ger many will be greatly in need ot supplies and business with that country will be exception flly good as a result. PENDLETON'S TRAVELING SALESMEN. Tf N yesterday's East Oregon Jj ian there appeared a note to the effect a certain trav elling salesman had taken up his home in Pendleton and would cover his territory out of this place. He is not the first man of that sort to take up with Pendleton. Our brigado of travelling salesmen is much larger than people realize. It would be still larger if more men could secure homes here. At the present time it is very difficult for a travelling man to find a suitable house or suit able apartments to live in. There is necessity here for an apartment house that is an ap artment house. In fact for sev eral of them. There is demand for small houses that may be rented and particularly for fur nished or partly furnished houses. The East Oregonian has a feeling that if some day the Commercial Club should give a luncheon or a dinner to the travelling men who live here those men could tell our busi ness organization some facts that would be worth knowing. THIS MA Y ENTER TAIN t.KNTI.K CYNICISMS, f or? It s n poor rule that won't work both ways. Some men fail because they are misunderstood: others suc ceed for the same reason. If you don't want to be spoiled by success, get a Job in the weather bu reau. Alcohol evaporates. In which re spect it resembles the courage that is screwed up by it. The only time some people get busv Is when they meddle with things that don't concern them. As for early marriages, the foo is often a grandfather before the wise man even thinks of taking unto himself a wife. Experience Is the best teacher. A man never realizes how little he knows until experience drums It Ifr to him. THE WOLF AND THE SHEPHERD An rp-to-date Fable. A wolf finding that the sheep were so afraid of him that he could not get near to them, disguised him self In the dress of a shepherd, which he hired from a customer, and, thus attired, approached the nock. As he came near he found the Shepherd fast asleep. As the sheep did not run away he resolved to 1ml tate the voice of the shepherd. In trying to do so he howled so viol ently that the shepherd awoke. The shepherd was very angry, be cause he had been out late the night before and needed sleep, so he fell upon the wolf and smote him sorely. MORAL When you see a chance to get a square meal don't get hilar ious and wake the entire neighbor' hood. Hard work never kills a man; But scheming how he may be able to put in the most time on a short Job sal s up his vital energy. BIGAMY CASE TO BE UP BEFORE COURT APRIL 6 There are tory newspapers who still insist that our failure to get into war with Mexico and other nations of the world is placing us in a terrible fix; they must have a side invest ment in gunpowder factories. The Boston Post still carries display advertisements on its front page which may be al right ' down east where they eat mince pie for breakfast but it would not do out west. If Umatilla county can af ford to spend many thousands of dollars a year jiggering with bad roads that are poorly laid out, why not spend some money building permanent roads that wont have to be relocated after each rain. When Thomas Schelell drives into little old San Fran cisco with his new auto and his war bonnet he will make a sensation. Our Celilo celebration com mittee has the right idea; if a job is worth doing it is worth doing right Fortunately eastern Oregon need lose no sleep over the tangle in the state highway commission affairs. The woolbuyers this spring will try to play possum" by claming they don't want any wool anyway. But they do. Rain is always a good habit in eastern Oregon. GILBERT MIXTHOTtX, IXDIAN, WILL BE BEFORE FEDERAL TRIBUNAL HERE. The trial of Gilbert Mlnthorn, one of the best known Indians on the res ervation, on a charge of having more than one wife will be the most Inter esting case to be tried at the eastern Oregon term of the federal court t" open In this city next Tuesday, April 6. Mlnthorn was arrested Beveral weeks ago and was subsequently in dicted by the federal grand Jury. This is the second case of this nature to be taken Into court from the Umatil la reservation, Andy Barnhart having served a term for bigamy. Since his release he has followed the court's advice by InstltuUng suit for divorce against one of his wives. Another case to come before the federal court will be that against Ja son Wannassay, another Indian, charged with introducing liquor on the reservation. So far as Is known these are the only two criminal ac tions on the docket. A civil suit en titled the United States vs. Charles S. Elliott Is scheduled for trial. The government Is seeking to cancel a homestead filing In Wallowa county. Judge Robert S. Bean will occupy the bench here and E. A. Johnson is eS M tmtf Waiaf 1 n UL.
