Five highway bills are before the legislature, endorsed by the Good Roads association, end by the Coun ty Judges and Commissioners aseo- cladon. They are modeled on the most effoetN and equitable meas ures adopted by other states. They are vital to the progress of the state and we hope they will' be adopted. The one appropriating state aid to the counties la building roads la based upon $10,000 from the state to every $20,000 raised by the coun ty during the years 1911 and 1912, or a total appropriation by the state of $880,000 for the V"" years. A we understand It, each coun ty that raised $20,000 a year for road purposes for those two years, would receive $10,000 a year from the state no more, no less, Wallowa's share of the state tax required to raise the $680,000, baaed on present valuation, would be $8,464, and we would receive $30,000 In re turn. ' Multnomah's share of the state tax would be $262, 740 and It would re ceive but $20,000 In return. If the foregoing la correct it would certainly seem good business for the Numl'er counties. Portland favor It on the rround that, what helps the . f tate helps the state's market place Potlnnd. New and up-to-date Patterns and Designs. Come and look them over.

The pub lishers of the News-Record and the Chieftain have boon making efforts to collect money due on subscription for several months past. This Is not conducive to growth of circula tion as any publisher will testify. In spite of that fact, and of the fur ther fact that no special canvass, has been made during that time for sub scribers, the lists of both papers have steadily grown until today each paper has a larger number of paying subscribers, than over before. For this, and inany other evidences of the good wishes of our readers, the publishers feel deeply grateful. We will endeavor to reciprocate In klndr-by giving better county pa-l-frrs.
