His plait id tne most feasible yet ad vanced for such a greatly to be desired culmination, and we sincerely hope that lie will win out. Again Saturday evening was the pitiful inadequacy of our fire alarm system thoroughly demonstrated Our hose team came up Main street and hail to stop and inquire where the fire was, not desiring to he run ning off in a totally wrong direction. Then all they could find out was from a passerby, who said that he had seen a light off in the west as he came from home. This matter should be taken up by the council and rectified at once, or it may cause serious loss of prop erty. The Oregonian and a number of its correspondents are sepnding lots o f space in an effort to decide wheth er a man and his wife can live on $90 a month. We know of a man right here in Dallas who has always lived fairly well, has provided for his wife and family of several children, and lias managed to save up $5000 in cold cash on never more than $00 a month, and many times was out of employment. This question all depends on the man—and the woman. Cheaper money for highway ance of roads a sum equal to 2 construction, trained men for' per cent of the amount the state drawn for construction pur skilled supervision' of highway : work, and asurance of continual poses, the state contributing an road maintenance, are the prin equal amount for the same pur cipal features of a plan for fed- pose. It Is estimated that tt*e eral aid to good roads which has maintenance or a road costs on been worked out by former U. S. an average about 4 per cent of Senator Jonathan Bourne, Jr., construction, if Oregon sold who explained his plan to the its bonds in the oDen market, it citizens of Dallas and vicinity would have to maintain its roads without federal aid. while under last Friday evening.

The party is united enough as iar as it goes, che only trouble with the Oregonian being that it is trying to claim allegianc e from voters who will never again ailil- iate with the party. The raw machine work at the last national convention left thousands of voters without a party, and you run up against them every day. They are not necessarily Progressives, hut frankly state tiiat they do not know to which party they belong. It is pretty nearly a certainty that republicanism as it has lately been expounded will never he able to claim them again. t à t i i m * ? * * * * PROPOSED FOOL LAW. While the legislature is known to have perpetrated Road Before Improvement. many fool laws on the people of the state of Oregon, laws that are indefinite in meaning, and which it gen erally takes years to straighten out and get into pass ably good Tuning order, yet when it comes to the people making laws they can get some ones that are equally as had. Now comes a Mrs. Jeuu Bennett and proposes at the general election to have passed a law making an eight-hour working day obligatory on every one. but! lias uaU.Llie law uiaileu Liy ¿iiiotiiey oeneial UuWiuul, and u is luosl uiasuc m every pal Ucuiai, applying to every trade, pioiesb.on and industry, su m a law would oe a most roolisu one, and extremely det rimental to many lines oi business, in e larmer, lor instance, would he certainly up against it to make a living. During certain times oi tne year the larmer must necessai uly pusn tilings in order to get his crops harvested, and lor any law to say ai hilarity tiiat he or Ins help must confine tiieinselves to labor between only tile hours ot 8 a. m. and 5 p. in. would put him so iur m the hole that it would he impossible to either get tne necessary work done, or to m„ke anything ou( m the job alter it was done. Even now, with the price that is demunded tor puiely physical labor, the farmer unus himself up against it, even it ue can work ins hands lor twelve liouis. 'i bote is not enough in wheat, oats and other tilings oi the Kind to make a prolit a.ter paying the price for labor, and it is only by intensified farming, the making o outer tilings balance up the deheit, tiiat a larmer can nowadays occupy the proud position he does in the way of a livelihood. To attempt to raise grain and pay the wages demanded lor only an 8-hour day would mean bankruptcy in a little while. In fact, there is hardly anything a farmer grows but what would become non-paying ii the hours of labor nre to he curtailed. There are many other lines of business tiiat would suffer in a like way, if such a law would pass. Newspapers would be compelled to quit existence, especially the country ones, as the labor problem is now drawn on the very smallest margin of profit, and prices would have to go up for everything charged, or the paper go Into the sheriffs hands. Stores being only open from 8 to 5 would have to raise prices on everything they sell in order to make up for the I o b s of time, it not being feasible to work two sots of labor. The families who hire domestic labor would have to do all their eating in eight hours, and go hun gry the balance ot the time, or hire two cooks. In tact, such a law would entail so many hardships, when you get to thinking of it seriously, that the Itemizer does not believe there is any danger of the people vot ing it. The ballot title of the proposed law will read as follows, and it would he well to think what a really drastic thing it couid become: "initiated by Mrs. Jean Bennett on behalf of Unlver- sisal Eight Hour league. Universal constitutional eight hour amendment, its purpose is to add section 9 to article 15 of the Oregon constitution prohibiting any man, woman, hoy or girl from being employed more than eight hours in any one day, or 48 hours in any one week, in any trade, business or profession, or any farm, or in any domestic service, or in any kind of employ m ent whatever, skilled or unskilled, mental or physi cal. w ithin the state of Oregon. This law applies to children and o th er relatives of employers.” edivul treasury, whereupon the iccrotary oi the treasury would ;eli at par a corresponding uuount of U. S. 3-per cent 50- ear bonds and turn the pro- eeds over to the state highway Oinniission for use in con- Iructing under state laws and nder state control. When the late paid its annual 4 per cent detest, three-fourth of t ie uuount would be applied to the layment of interest on the fed eral bonds and one-fourth de posited in a sinking fund, which, with accumulation of interest ■ hereon, would amount to the ace of the bonds in a little i s than fifty years. At ho expiration of that time, if all interest payments had lx on node when due. the state bonds would he cancelled and returned l.ilion dollars through the sav ing ol feed and kecj of horses because of the substation oi motor power for horse and mule teflms on American farms, tiiat substitution not now being pos sible, owing to bad roads.
