BONDS WHY?
BECAUSE
Every Voter In Pendleton Should Vote Yes
THE SYSTEM OF ROADS PROPOSED BY THE BOND ISSUE ALL CENTER IN PENDLETON. THERE IS $140,000 FOR A ROAD FROM PILOT
ROCK TO PENDLETON; $140,000 FOR A ROAD FROM HELIX TO PENDLETON; $300,000 TO HARD SURFACE THE MACADAM ROAD
FROM THE STATE LINE THROUGH FREEWATER, MILTON, WESTON, ATHENA AND ADAMS TO PENDLETON; $300,000 FOR A HARD
SURFACED ROAD TO THE COLUMBIA RIVER AND UMATILLIA THROUGH HERMISTON, STAN FIELD AND ECHO TO PENDLETON. PEN
DLETON IS THE HUB.
EVERY VOTER IN PILOT ROCK SHOULD VOTE
YES
BECAUSE it connects Pilot Rock, the growing cen
ter of the south end of the county with the County
Seat. The plan voted on appropriates $140,000 for
a hard surfaced road between Pilot Rock and Pendleton.
EVERY VOTER IN HELIX SHOULD VOTE YES,
BECAUSE it connects Helix, the great industrial cen
ter of the north end of the county with the County
Seat. Under the bonds $140,000 is appropriated
for building a hard surfaced road commencing at
Helix and running to Pendleton.
EVERY VOTER IN THE EAST END OF THE
COUNTY SHOULD VOTE YES,
BECAUSE it gives them a hard surfaced road di
rectly through the industrial centers, puts them on
the direct line of the great transcontinental high
ways, insures the permanancy of their macadam
road which must be hard surfaced to save it and re
duces their taxes.
EVERY LABORING MAN SHOULD VOTE YES,
BECAUSE it means that $800,000 will be spent for
labor in Umatilla county if the bond issue carries.
EVERY VOTER IN THE WEST END OF THE
COUNTY SHOULD VOTE YES,
BECAUSE it gives them hard surfaced roads to the
Columbia river and to the County Seat and insures
the reduction of freight rates and the rapid develop
ment of their undeveloped resources.
EVERY VOTER IN UMATILLA COUNTY
SHOULD VOTE YES,
BECAUSE Barrett, Harrah, Vert et al, are going to
vote NO. Are they running this county?

son relating to submarine war
fare the German government
said:
"In accordance with the
general principles of search
and destruction of merchant
vessels, as recognized by in
ternational law, such vessels
both within and without the
area declared a war zone (the
waters around the British
Isles) shall not be sunk with
out warning and without sav
ing human lives, unless ships
attempt to escape or to offer
resistance."
That is exactly what this
government desired from Ger
many. It is true the kaiser
qualified his promise by mak
ing it contingent in a measure
upon our calling Great Britain
to time for violation of inter-
On that basis democrats might
well work for the nomination
of Mr. Moores.
However, there is something
in this world besides partisan
ship, particularly when that
partisanship is of a narrow va
riety. There is such a thing as
political justice and such a
thing as the desirability of ef
ficient men in office. On this
score Mr. Olcott is logically en
titled to a renomination. He
has been very efficient and
clear headed. His opponents
make no denial of these facts.
The fight against him is en
tirely on factional grounds. He
has been too independent mind
ed to suit the machine.
