It was decided at the rood roads meeting in Pendleton Monday to pro pose a U ma tills county bona issue 01 $980,000 for road improvements in all parts of the county. This measure will go on the ballot for the Hay primaries. J. Roy Raley will circulate the initiative petition. Coun ty Judge Marsh will appoint seven rep resentative citizen from different lo calities to meet next Tuesday with the county court and work out the detail of the plan to be submitted to the people. It has long been the LEADER'S the ory that thia is the best way to handle the good roads problem. Building macadam roads by piecemeal a funds permit, and with regard to cheapness rather than durability, ha not worked out to advantage. As County Commis sioner Holman of Multnomah county said at the rmseting: 'It is no longer question of the lowest first cost of a surface we can maintain on our roads but of the lowest ultimate cost at which we can main tain the surface on our roads." A clean-cut issue will be presented to th voters and more especially to the taxpayers who may be expected to command votes and influence sufficient to swing the election either way. The Leader thinks that forty-million- dollar county can stand a million-dollar bond and that good, hard-surfaced highways will be worth more to the county than the interest charge of fifty thousand dollars year. It is well aware,, however, that many good citi zens bold different views, which it is prepared to respect. : The farmers of Umatilla county should and will decide this bond ques tion. They pay by far a heavier tax than any other class.- Most of them drive automobiles a well a horses, and they are using the roads constant ly. They will have to be shown by competent highway engineer that the kind of roads which it is proposed to build with this t080,000 bond issue will be vastly superior to the kind derived faom the county's experiment with macadam. If and when they sre so convinced it will be up to them to de cide whether or not genuinely good road ar worth tit monty they will cost, and whether or not a bond lasu i justified In order, to get them. The I.KADKR think that good road will add much more thin their eoat to the valu of Umatilla county lands, but the farmer may think differently. A the farmer vote, o should go and o will go the bonding Um, nHHl the measure, among whom are Included the moat enterpris ing and progreaiv of the county ' hut inea men, must he prepared to furnteh the farmer with the most convincing facta and figure to the end that he may see, as do Ihey, the substantial fruits that will follow a comprehensive and unstinting good road program Enthusiasm Is hot knowledge, nor I assertion argument' ' ': -s ' err ,i, ...JL.Jt LV ..: i ' . UW U All OBSTACU. . The entire Inland Empire Is Interest ed In the caae of W, Leo, owner of the Walk Walla vinegar worka, who waa lately fined &00 on a charge that he put water in bis product. Such an accuaation is regarded as ridiculous by those acquainted with Mr. Leo and his business reputation. lie i regarded as an able, cone? lentious and enterprising manufacturer who hie painstakingly built up a good market throughout the Inland Empire because of the excellence and reliability of hie products. No on who knows him thinks for a minute that he is guilty of anything but a technical violation of the Washington law. The cms of the matter I that vine gar made of Walla Walla valley apples will not grade up to the test established by the Washington law. Thia teat ia baaed upon eastern vinegar made of dry land apples, and is directly in the Interest of eastern manufacturers, who are of course directly interested in It enforcement. It woukl seem to be unnecessarily exacting unless Wash ington solons csre nothing about the growth of Iocs Industrie. Mr. Leo is not only a manufacturer but a chemist, and has developed line of by-products ss the result of his re search. He sells vinegar by the thou sands of gallons and buysmsny a Uma tilla county, Oregon, apple that woukl otherwise be unmarketable, Apple grower on this side of the line are jus tified in expressing the hope that Wash ington will so modify its rigid vinegar test that his .praise worthy activities msy be encouraged rather than cur tailed. And a ess like this reminds us, also, that Oregon and Washington both have many law that are better honored in the breach than in the observance. MUSHFDL HUSIXGS.

ISPUUHS ASTORIA. . .... . . . Astoria has been giving many "live wire" indication of lata that it expect to be reckoned at no very distant day a Pacific coast seaport of th first rank. It ha won a great victory in the Interstate Commerce Commission's decision granting it parity of rate with Puget Sound ports on rail shipment from Inland Empire points. This is no more than just recognition of it posi tion and advantage. There Is also merit in it naval base campaign,' as suming that the Pacific coast ia to be properly protected. ' Astoria atand boldly alone in its contention, refusing sny proffered "trade" with Puget Sound whereby both th Sound and As toria may profit by government appro priations. It tersely says: "We are not demanding this naval base for a protection in a war with this nation or that nation we want to be ready to block any nation 1 "We want a first class station at the mouth of the Columbia because that Is the most sensible geographic location on the Pacific coast to protect th greatest area of American soil. There is no ehanc there to bottle up our ship and from there a fleet can be released to go to the rescue of the Puget Sound country. "To talk of trading at this time does not smack of patriotism. It smells of pawn-broking.' W of the Columbia river do not wish, under th circum stances, to hsv to rely upon assist ance from five hundred miles swsy to defend the fruits of a generation of our toil and the pas into the heart of the nation. . Ws want a perfectly regular naval base of the first class, and this is the preponderating sentiment of the Co lumbia baain. There is ho argument to be advanced against our having it. The fact that w are not now adequately prepared for a contingency I a ill grace to u and a damning bit of evi dence of our national carelessness, As citistms of America and people who will foot our ahar of the bills, we de mand that fill eoart be thoroughly pro pared and that the mouth of the Co lumbla receive a naval h to All t! t gaping hole In our naval defenae on the raclfle const." The aitteemed E, 0, print this under a Washington date tin a Snt"i Stone 'a reply to the inquiry whether he and Wilson . hid considered warning Amercan to keep off armed a.eivh ant men: t "It I a dammed lie and the man who said it is a uammod liar," said tie senator. Which we woukl regard aa asuff clently concrete rejoinder. W Were prone to regret the ssn guluary riot and Inkwell battle In the Oklahoma legislature until we read that a Republican state chair-nan hTd been knocked out, when we felt that th end Justified the mean.
