Commenting on a recent arti
cle in the Progress, regarding
the lax system o f notifying par
ties to whom warrants are due
from the county; the Oregon City
Courier reprinted the article in
its current issue, under the head
ing "IT APPE\RS TO BE” .
Judging from this heading, the
Courier partially agrees that the
present system is wrong, but ¡
possibly for fear o f losing county l
printing or advertising, refrains
from further comment. Until)
the county press comes out more
forcibly against some of these
lax methods o f county manage
ment, no noticeable betterment
will be effected.

If the need is felt for any
change on the Estaeada school
board, at the next election why
not fill the vacancy with a woman ?
Oregon has voted suffrage, the
woman votes, but hardly cares to
enter municipal politics, but there
is a natural opening for her on
school boards. Estaeada has sev
eral women who are qualified for
such membership and the board
might be greatly benefited by |
the addition o f a woman’s tact, j
feminine views and common
sense.
