IN- ILL the state of Oregon jfl be unable to secure good roads work on a ig scale because of conflict ing opinions as to what should te done? The question arises from the seeming chaotic con ditions at Salem. For years past opponents of Vd loads efforts have regu larly raised the cry that the work -ontemplated was chief ly for motorists and that the cost s'..ou!d be borne by car owner.", not by the farmers and other taxpayers. 7his year a bonding scheme ll.as been submitted under v-hioh the cost would fall al most entirely upon auto own rrs, thus meeting the old ob jection with a vengeance. Yet rtere comes Governor Withy combe with strong disapproval of the plan, claiming it Would lre unjust to farmers who own ears and open to the further objection that it provides for an immense amount of work concerning which we as yet rtave no systematic plan. The governor's fear as to the proper expenditure of the money is worthy of attention. It would be a crime to provide for a large bond issue and have H wasted through incompetent methods or graft. In any step taken there should be safe guards to insure due results for the money expended and there are way of providing such safeguards. But the objection about the injustice of the tax falls flat. There is no car owner, large or small, who cannot afford to iriay an increased auto license fee in order to secure good loads. In most cases the sav ing of one tire a year would qual the license cost and bet ter roads mean fewer new tires. Therefore the governor's plea upon this line becomes ridicu lous. This is not saving that the 'East Oregonian believes the Day-Rowerman scheme should adopted by the legislature. There mar be manv things "frrong with that nlan. But -rtainlr some effective road Wwislntion should be r.ed. The Shackleford law affords OUIS CARGILLS success in trapping a silver gray fox the pelt from which. will sell for $30,000 (if he can get that much for it) may send numerous youthful adventur ers into the Canadian wilds, However, it is nnot necessary to go into Alberta to make money at the ancient and hon orable profession of trapping. The following editorial from the Cleveland Plaindeater, gives some unexpected facts with reference to coyotes. Tt may be a bit hard to understand why it is. but the fact remains, that the war ha sent the prlue or wolf skins soaring to almost tarred rble heights. And coyoto skins are high. also. Buyers In Texas explain that soldiers of the English and French armies are to be overcoated la these pelts, hut they do not say where they got their InformaUon. The relief de mand comes from abroad, and prob ably some new use has been discov ered for these pelts that cause the prices to go bounding1 upward. Reports from Texas Indicate that these new prices work better than state bounty ever did. The aVtce of an ordinary coyote akin has aacreased from tl to IS. IObo wolves sell for 110. Professional trappers are fleck ing into Texas or they were a few months ago and wolves and coyotes are about to be exterminated. When a wolf pelt will sell for rather more money than an average save) will bring sheep ranches shouM aeon be rid of the wolf pest. Cattlemen and sheepmen sustain annual leases am ounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars .from the depredations of wolves and coyotes on their flocks and herda. and the present activity In ex terminating these, animals la of dou ble benefit. But what are they doing with those pelts In Europe? are they actually making them Into winter overcoats for the men in the trenches? Or have they discovered a new way of treating and dyeing them, so thai they catt send them back to us aa a new and fashionable fur at fabulous prices? It would be interesting to know. Indeed it would be interest ing to know. The sheep busi ness is fairly profitable these I From the Da ly East Oressonian Feb. 15. 1SS9.)
