IS THIS STATE AN
COMPETENT?
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.

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

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
